It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or illegal if they know nothing will happen to them. The rule of law is dying because it’s becoming only selectively enforced.

Or, of course, WWW (world-wide web) where each word of the acronym is itself a single syllable. This means the acronym is 6 syllables longer if you were speaking it.

Absent any context, “the nice evening” sounds strange because no one really expects there to be only one nice evening. However it can makes sense if the surrounding context supports the idea of only one nice evening. Grammar rules are gener

The dentist, the supermarket, the park, etc. Because you are referring to a specific one of each, even if a listener doesn’t necessarily know which specific one, they know that you know. In the case of your example the listener assumes yo

The status of the true author is kind of irrelevant to whether it’s plagiarism or not. The true author may even be an active participant in the conspiracy.

That’s fair, I should have clarified that I was thinking about the solo authors when I wrote that.

It strikes me as akin to plagiarism. If the purported author can’t even answer basic questions about the paper, how can they plausibly claim to have written it? In the case where someone uses AI to write the paper and then deeply familiariz

Graphic design skills don’t correlate with effort. I’ve seen terribly designed posters that the makers clearly put a lot of effort and love into because they loved whatever it was they were promoting.

That’s not a biological change.

by nkrisc 8d ago
That would imply a biological change in all humans in the last ~3000 years after humans had already dispersed across the entire globe? That means whatever the change was would have to had occur simultaneously in separate populations all o

The subjective experience doesn’t really matter because many places in the US will experience a 100 degree F range over an entire year. So it’s not the “comfortable range” but the actual range you’ll get in many parts of the US (whether you

I quite like Fahrenheit. The 0 to 100F (-17 to 37C) range perfectly encapsulates the range of outdoor temperatures I expect to encounter during the year. If the forecast is outside that range, it’s going to be miserable.

Well it’s definitely not 97 K, it’s definitely not 97 C, so it’s probably 97 F which would put it in the same general ballpark as nearly all terrestrial vertebrates.

I’m closer to Annapolis annd Ft. Meade and we have two huge self-storage facilities that just opened up within a month less than a mile from each other. There’s lots of military folks around here so maybe people are more likely around here

The cool thing about open source is anyone can fork it and spend their own money asking AI to make a fix.

If you’re in the midst of some kind of crisis, whether physical or mental, it’s somewhere safe you can go that’s available 24/7. From there they can keep you safe until you’re stabilized (physically or mentally) and then refer you to s

But how was the 9 year old able to do any of this unless they had access to some account? It says his son also used it, so he gave a 9 year old access to it. Same difference.

There are so many things wrong with this story before you even get to the headline. From the information in the article, I can’t really blame Google for this one. This was a series of deliberate blunders on the part of the father. The first

My wife and I both just stopped wearing our wedding bands, and it turns out you’re still married even if you’re not wearing the ring. Also we just have simple gold bands so we never spent much on them in the first place.

No kidding. If they won’t pick up the phone to take my business, imagine when I’m calling after they already have my money.

None of them are smart enough for that. They think of themselves as Thufir but really they hold power because they’re more like Rabban.

We are autonomous because we have free will to choose our actions, and we may choose to do so at any time between our birth and death. If you don’t believe in free will then nothing is autonomous.

Why focus only on big, showy acts of violence? Christian-influenced violence happens countless of times everyday, such as a gay kid getting beat up because some other kids hear their pastor maligning him every week. Christian violence happe

But it never starts doing anything until someone or something prompts it. It doesn’t even exist until you ask it to do something. It is autonomous in the sense it can continue to function without supervision after the operator has started i
