Conductor is a more fully-featured app rather than a TUI (some people might prefer one or the other), and is Mac-only.

Tried this for a couple days, but conductor.build is way better IME. Running _in_ the terminal is a flex, but doesn't actually bring any advantage.

God, I loathee the use of "moreso" as a synonym for "more" (rather than as "having the previously-mentioned property to a greater degree"). I'm convinced it's a hypercorrection by people who want to s

Indeed. "Lethargic" meaning "affected by lethargy" would hardly be difficult to guess!

Can you elaborate? Who are the imagined "they", and in what way are they conducting experiments with or monetizing this investigation?

> Open AI claims You undermine your own point when you misrepresent the situation like this. Real human mathematicians, including at least one Fields Medal winner, have validated and complimented the result.

I mean...they _are_. That doesn't mean that they doesn't have quality beyond what those dregs see.

FWIW, I didn't read this as AI-like. Even on a re-read, it's only the quasi-em-dash, and _maybe_ the polite acknowledgement of "Very fair pushback" (just good etiquette, IMO!) that would ring any alarm bells. You're

A deeply repugnant man, carrying out painfully-obvious sleight-of-hand to obfuscate the clear gaps in a cancerous philosophy. I'm pleasantly surprised to see the comments being so critical.

OK, I'll bite - what would a failure of UBI look like?

I like the presentation I heard from a Principal, that AI tools amplify your competence. If you start out incompetent, it'll just allow you to be incompetent with greater scope and (negative) impact.

> that doesn't really help this discussion It's the clearest possible example of the fact that simply "eradicating non-native species" is anything _but_ simple, and will have unforeseen implications and consequences.

So paper _can_ look guilty, you just don't like this particular usage of rhetoric? Which is it?

There are plenty of valid criticisms of the article, but this isn't one of them. I'd be embarrassed to call myself a fan of Pratchett while failing to recognize dramatic anthropomorphization (indeed, Pratchett was where teenaged-m

Kinda baffled by people preferring buttons on their devices. When trying to de-Amazon I bought two Kobos - a Clara BW (without buttons) and a Libra Colour (with). I _much_ prefer the Clara because I can slip it in a pocket, whereas the extr
