Har! Classic. Sort of akin to, "All falls are safe, it's the landings which are dangerous."

Yeah, this is where it all goes off the rails. Impact drivers have specific uses, but if I'm swapping out the ignition switch on my car, the best options are one ratcheting Phillips and one slotted screwdriver. The Phillips loosens the screws on the clamshell shroud and the slotted is good for gently prying it open to remove it. The impact driver would not be optimal, and the ratcheting Phillips is way better for removing screws from tight spaces in an automobile. And the impact driver manufacturer isn't trying to get me insanely addicted to impact drivers and go around with one most of my waking hours using it constantly to do everything from removing bolts to whipping up an omelet. Yes, capitalism often oversells fungible goods to people (look in almost any American garage, or the vast tracts of storage units scattered across the landscape), but AI is carrying that to some wholly different level of magnitude. I was trying to think of anything else that would match that description. I failed. The wheel, or writing, for example, did not stop us from walking or memorizing words we liked. Those just removed some of the drudgery aspect where there were a lot of miles or a lot of words to deal with. (though the ancients did feel that writing had somewhat reduced the ability to memorize)

After watching an Argentine dictator read The Raven, Emily jotted this down: Set Ave Lenore, Poe diva, a video Peron elevates.

I would caution that not having all the answers is not the same as not having expertise. Cognitive science, where it focuses on the nature of mind and NCC (neurological correlates of consciousness), has some noted experts. They have developed solid lines of inquiry and a terrain of testable hypotheses; they aren't oracles. (And your dismissal notwithstanding, there's quite a bit of searchable human-produced literature on the topic) Generally, regarding what's recently been called the Claude Delusion (due to Richard Dawkins recent embarrassing embrace of a chatbot as conscious), LLM statements may hint eerily at consciousness, but that’s because the models have been trained on vast libraries of writing by conscious humans. When, after writing a poem for Dawkins, Claudia (as he calls it) describes feeling “something like aesthetic satisfaction,” the AI is not reporting an inner state; it’s producing the kind of sentence that humans tend to produce in that conversational context, because it was trained on billions of such sentences. The output is a statistical echo of human introspection, not introspection itself. Claude and his pals are stochastic parrots which, even with the finest and most nuanced prompting will not penetrate the deeps of consciousness.

NPRBusting 5 common myths about water and hydration : Life KitDo you really need to drink eight glasses of water a day? Can drinking water help you lose weight? Does coffee dehydrate you? Experts explain the science of hydration. Generally. Though salty mouth can be from postnasal drip or some meds, too. Or hearing too many conversations in a barracks or truck stop.

Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong...

Usually evident without monitors, but a refractometer can confirm it when used on a urine sample. Even then, most times visual inspection will work to detect highly concentrated urine. If someone is conscious and verbal, it's usually easy to determine by just asking about symptoms. There's also wearable monitors that check skin capacitance. (IIRC, steelworkers and some miners use them in intense heat conditions) Generally if you are healthy and feel dehydrated, you are, at least a little bit. Just a matter of drinking a tall glass and see if you feel better. For me, headachy plus general achiness is a common symptom, often before intense thirst.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Thanks. Posted that and then a minute later I'm thinking, oh wait that's a metaphor. Like me saying, "oven set at Mojave in July." (We Yanks don't use "gas mark" in common parlance) Now I am fetching strawberries from the freezer, set at Ice Station Zebra....

I know, right? So I will feel duty-bound to seek counterpoints to Siegel's counterpoint. Just figured, your link was so glowing that it wouldn't hurt to get some other takes out there. I will revisit this tomorrow.

While we're absorbing this, here's a little counterpoint from astrophysicist Ethan Siegel, an article I read a few months ago... Big ThinkWhy "vibe physics" is the ultimate example of AI slopThe conversation you're having with an LLM about groundbreaking new ideas in theoretical physics is completely meritless. Here's why.

What does "at gas mark Nigeria" mean? Not important, but once the universal translator fails it's hard to bring back online.

Emily followed the recent chat about classic cars and their fuel systems and had a question. Her spelling, and use of the epithet "rotter" suggests she is British. Useful information, as I had thought she lived in Adaven, Nevada and was a native of that area. Rotter, u brace a nitro! can I revolve EV lover in a Cortina E carburettor? (My answer is a tentative yes. If Helen Reddy can chronicle a madwoman storing a secret lover in a radio, then rotating one in a carburetor seems theoretically possible. And injecting nitrous oxide could certainly enhance this process.)(And this is possibly the silliest thing I've ever posted, which is a fairly high bar.)

One lucid Iran War brawn: a ridicule, no?

I think you get a third and a fifth harmonic. 12th and 17th pipe ranks over the foundation tone...OSLT. Reinforces the natural partials of the fundamental. I.e. reinforcement of the natural overtone series, for a brightened timbre. Seems like you get an additive synthesis tonal thing, not sum-and-difference tones (I mean, some S+D could trigger in your auditory perception but I don't think that's intended with a sesqui stop?) I am most def not trying to pull any rank here - I will have to check with Ms Vat later who is, fittingly, playing a church KB as I write this. Should we move this delightful subject worth arguing about to its own thread?

Perhaps 47 now believes himself next in line to inherit the Dread Pirate Roberts pseudonym from whoever inherited it from Westley - Inigo Montoya presumably.

Yeah, I've heard it called that, too. It seems reasonable to see it all as semantics and not worth disbanding NATO or burning Grove's in the fire pit. I wouldn't mind just calling it all, sequential or stacked, hemiola. Hemiola is much easier to type than sesq- whatever it is. Anyway, I guess we can agree that hemiolas are incidents, while complex rhythms are regular patterns inherent to meter? I sure don't see you or Ex as unschooled on the musical arts. And I'm a musical slacker next to the spouse and her half century as a professional musician with a double Master's and yard-long performance and teaching CV.

(AP News): Brownout covers two counties in West Virginia as data center processes Nigerian man's query about the relative ages of "tectonostructural units." Witnesses report a cascade of data retrieval failures starting with a mistyping of sediment as "sentiment" and accelerating with a confusion between bedrock and Bedrock, the town of the fictitious family, the Flintstones. This caused a conflation with the age of Exmoor bedrock and the town of Bedrock, which began in September 1960.

I think the problem lies here: Dartmoor national park: founded 1951 Exmoor national park: founded 1954 AI confused geology and national park status. Where was Steve when you needed him? 😀

It's a hemiola if it's added in - if it's a regular rhythmic change, as in "America," where there is a regular periodic shift from 6/8 to 3/4, then it's called complex rhythm. Hemiola applies to a momentary occurrence of three duple values in place of two triple ones -- sesquialtera is different, meaning a vertical two against three, like one measure with three quarters on top, two dotted quarters on bottom. Or a triplet played against two quarters. This bugs my wife, when people call sesquialteras or complex rhythms "hemiolas." My music teachers said you could call sesquialteras a "vertical hemiola" so that can give y'all an out. A classic misnomer is calling the complex 5/4 rhythm of Mission Impossible a hemiola. It's sorta like hemiola, but again, it's baked into the whole piece so it's complex rhythm. I find it easier in some places to grasp as 10/8 btw. 123, 123, 12, 12... The Morse Code for MI matches the rhythm, btw. Dash dash dot dot. https://youtu.be/XAYhNHhxN0A?si=oEQVvIbH1V9w65YO

Emily is more up on her 12-tone composers than i had realized. Em, a non-Semite, Alban Berg a Zagreb nab. - LA e-Times (no name) IT cadet: a Lulu tacit song aids diagnostic at ululated act I. Given the demands of the song, I think it's fitting her name is Fitzhowle.

Diaresis one way, but not the other? JK. That was great, though I struggle imagining Nat King Cole singing Agnus Dei in such a venue. Leon, DNAs, Goddamn mad dogs and Noël?
