The reviewer's criticism didn't stop the article from being published. Sure, they didn't recommend it initially but that happens. I'd call it somewhat mild attention to other factors from the one reviewer. The pointing o

Though unpleasant, it at least sorta gives us a preview of 1.5C. Also lost in the conversation about 1.5C (or higher) via emissions, is that we could go even higher (or lower) depending on other cyclic and event factors. Thereby making som

He's looking at this all wrong. AI can be used to complete his story, as he has no chance at the rate he's going. Might even be less divisive than HBO's finale.

I like. Probably needs to be more restrictive, like 1 per week. But the technique of rate limiting could also be applied to social media to help combat AI/Bot post/upvote flooding.

Well, nature apparently won't publish complex articles on topics for reasons, thus causing these issues of "intermediate" science knowledge. I wonder what was cut out to get this paper through.

The guardian is supporting the creation of an ethno nationalist state of a tiny minority? Wonder what will happen to the vast majority of Hawaiians who don't meet "blood" requirements...

"Ugh nerd musk. Might be male. Might turn off the East Coast intelligentsia. They can't handle much. Ignore the bio apocalypse trilogy. It's speculative not sci-fi. I'm high brow. Market, market, market..." - Atwood

I expected a more probing take from a sci-fi writer. After all, to examine in depth the chasm between her and chatgpt is to be at the forefront of science! But perhaps it's too much to hope for any deeper interest. Her scifi is and w

True. But like watching Richard Pryor hold back tears on the sunset strip, or listening to Billie Holiday's voice crack, your reading someone's pain. In that situation, if it helps them in dealing with depression it's okay, o

Calvin and Hobbes was cynical, it's main characters are named for a religious brimstoner and cynical philosopher. Part of its appeal to children, beyond the general creativity of the strip, is, that it was cynical. Children can be ve

It's a little rap on the hands, a tease, considering they love highlighting conflicts of interest when it doesn't concern them. COI's don't have much legal binding on US news reporting, unless it comes down from courts.

Anti-vax and like positions have been cause-celebre positions for other political leanings, previously and now. I guess the guardian doesn't want to look though it's archives and remember it's part in the affair. https:&#x2F

Hopefully some of them will stay and work in Montana and not leave for greener pastures. It would be a shame and unbecoming if they don't follow through on their promise.

I like the translate idea, but it should be either interspersed lines or at the sentence level completion. Otherwise it will require the writer to go back and un-translate the text to fix mistakes. Another thought is to offering completion

It's both actions, the dropping of the atomic bombs and the the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. The Soviets, like the US, would have needed to prepare for a land invasion of Japan, probably about 9 months to 1 year of so of prep, which w
