I just used them to reflect pauses in my speech for tangents - and old habit from my IRC days.

The tell here is that you used a hyphen, not an em-dash.

Black and white film retains the developed silver particles, whereas color processing discards the silver entirely and leaves clouds of dye behind to form the image. The silver has higher acutance, of course.

This seems more plausible than an undiscovered big planet.

Why?

One great reason is that you need an account on X to read the thread. I deleted my account many months ago, along with many, many other people.

but as far as I can tell

Did you actually look at the details? It's literally in rule #1:

1 . Any observations you add must be the first photograph(s) of that species anywhere. If an observation is the first one for that species to be uploaded to iNat, but other photos of that species from an earlier point in time already exist anywhere elsewhere online/in print, then that observation should not be added to the project. This is the biggest source of observations that I have to remove from the project. So your observation must be both the first photograph of that species on iNat and also the first anywhere.

It could have been made bigger too. Who cares?

You don't have to be a big fucking nerd about it, you know what I meant. The generated music wouldn't exist without the foundation of stolen music made by people.

Yes it is. How else are they "trained?"

I would definitely listen to AI-generated music if it were good enough

Why not just seek out the original works that the AI stole from?

It has learned to predict the next word very well and the prediction probability distribution was later tweaked with human feedback and automated test feedback.

It didn't predict anything here, it just ripped off a reddit comment.

Have you read Elizabeth Kolbert before? Or anything in the New Yorker?

I think the alert is to try to get people to stop calling the police to ask/inform them about what they felt.

They are feeling the p-wave, which arrives just before the s-wave that you feel as shaking: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/ask-s...

What is your basis for strongly believing that?

It wasn't a documentary.

There isn't enough data to say what percentage of mushrooms are toxic when uncooked. Anyway, do you eat a lot of raw meat?

Maybe you need to be more clear in the future.

the most likely situation

What is the value in posting a long, entirely speculative comment like this? It doesn't even appear that you have any credibility in this field. Even if you did, this comment would be useless.

The question has been answered - corporate entities do a much better job of curating spaces.

Do you have a citation for this, or are you just asserting it as a fact?

I didn't find it to be ruined at all. It might be worth asking yourself why it bothers you so much.

Usually A calls B, and B accepts the charges. In this case, A calls B and then C is contacted to accept the charge.

the company never went public or sold to large agricultural interests to maximize shareholder value

Wow, shame on Bob :eyeroll:

Which isn't true, the government must also protect you from arbitrary violence.

"The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm"

The first line of the article is "My memories are of New York around 1899 — when I was just a boy of seven."

Why? Something to do with tidal influence on the core?

What did you use to pay for all of it?

Many species, but by actual counts the non-natives are vastly over-represented.

Dandelions are considered weeds in a botanical sense because they are non-native invasive plants in the United States. Same with clovers, crabgrasses, dallisgrass, and many other common lawn plants.

It's possible that they not only reached it, but spread across both American continents before Europeans arrived.
