I suspect you don't know what OPs field of expertise is. I also doubt OP would disagree with that statement that the only conscious things we know of have a body and sensorimotor interactions with the environment.

Stochastic parrot was coined by bender, gebru, et al, but it was probably "borrowed" from Regina Rini's "statistical parrot", coined 6 months before stochastic parrots hit the scene. https://dailynous.com

Seems unlikely, unless you're hitting up an extremely shady online poker room. A more likely source of rigging is either multiple players at the same table colluding with one another, or players just feeding table data into a bot which

Loudness isn't too important - timing is. Even with the 4-block-away mic being on a direct line of sight, and the half-block-away mic being around a corner, the half-block-away mic will perceive the event .5s or more before the 4-block

SFO->CHC->SFO is about ~2000kg of CO2 per person[0], compared to the average American yearly emissions of 15,000 kg[1] Rural folk emit about 20% more CO2[2] than city dwellers in the US, so if OP lives in a city, even flying to NZ and

But Tristan never got paid anything, and came right out and told the person he was a scammer before telling him exactly where to find his freight and never tried to extract any money from the victim. So either he's a scammer with a hea

This sounds like a scam run by the storage companies. Otherwise it is hard to understand what motivation "Tristan" had to drop the product off there instead of just, say, abandoning it on the side of the road. I can imagine a scam

Also betting that municipalities can't/won't just pull an eminent domain to regain access to the water. Honestly it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. I'm sure companies are buying rights to water, but I suspect it&#

Nope, not even close to true in my experience. Almost all of the high performers I know have a huge social network they can tap into and you can't finger them as SWEs from a mile away.

Partly because it was the standard when huge advances were being made in astrophysics in the late 19th/early 20th C. Partly, because some formulae are more convenient to use in cgs than in SI, because cgs is not rationalized and SI is.

I think generally, cops do not execute people they find doing something illegal. There are far too many people in US prisons for that to be the case. They do shoot people who they perceive as a threat to them(some of whom did not do anythin
