  1. Posts that lack scientific merit and have no math predate the rise of LLMs. Also the word salad of technojargon. The problem with alleged AI “tells” (such as “bear with me”) is that real people use such phrases. If they didn’t, the AI probably wouldn’t have picked it up, since it generates content based on its training. Like the alleged tell of using em-dashes (—) but people use them, too (professional writers and editors use them a fair amount) (As far as SFN is concerned, I’m not going to ban anyone based on that kind of flimsy evidence. That might mean some AI content persists, or sockpuppet accounts exist, because going on “vibes” just isn’t enough.)
  2. Luc Turpin has been banned for repeatedly spamming us with agenda-driven (and now AI-generated) content
  3. You forgot (or didn’t know) to strip the source identification tags out of your links. Looks like you either lied about using AI, or used it after you were warned not to.
  4. Which is expressly against the rules of the forum. I have no idea why one would think so.
  5. Is it meant to be an actual keyboard (it’s not a photo), or a schematic of sorts, just showing the layout? If it’s displayed on the English version of wikipedia, it’s reasonable that it would use English labels.
  6. You forgot to translate this, but NKTm is not units. As I pointed out in your first thread, the two quantities have units of kg-m^2/s and kg^2-m/s^2 — they aren't the same, so adding them is nonsensical. Any number you generate is meaningless, so even if you had offered an equation that told us how it allegedly affected velocity, it would not be valid for anything. There’s no physical significance here (which would not be surprising if this were the result of an AI hallucination) As such, this is closed. Don’t bring this topic up again.
  7. Another possibility is the phone numbers aren’t legit. I searched one and thought it matched up, but went back and realize it was the AI summary saying the number was “associated with” the company. That could mean that all the spam has convinced the AI that it’s the right number. So they’re leveraging the way AI is “trained“ - if you have a bazillion places saying 2+2=5, that’s going to eventually show up as a possible answer You call the number and they try to get your account info
  8. I’m only guessing, but if you’re being paid by the post, it’s probably more efficient to stay at the same site (several of the accounts were sockpuppets) and perhaps we were thought to be an easy target if there are multiple spammers. More posts raises the SEO score; I don’t know if multiple posts at the same site are weighted equally or discounted. What I don’t understand is why a company would adopt this strategy, unless it’s a competitor trying to poison the goodwill.
  9. The AZERTY keyboard is real “Like other European keyboard layouts, it is modelled on the English-language QWERTY layout. It is used in France and Belgium, though both countries have their own national variation on the layout.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY
  10. I’m assuming these are people, so slowing down the process makes then less efficient. e.g. it takes 5 minutes to spam us instead of 2. We become a less-attractive target
  11. Any way to stem the tide of spammers? Slow down the CAPTCHA/registration process a touch?
  12. Doesn’t seem all that random. Customer service numbers for a handful of actual businesses. If you google the phone numbers I think they’re legit (edit: perhaps not; see later post) and the top results will be posts like these on lightly- or unmoderated forums (so there’s no deletion), so I’m guessing that it’s motivated by SEO. People in India (in today’s cases) is paid a pittance to make a certain quota of posts in some digital sweatshop
  13. I think a lot of programs are based on the same ideas. https://waypointrecoverycenter.com/blog/making-amends-a-crucial-part-of-the-12-steps/
  14. Some 12-step programs have advice on making amends; how to do it, and what options you have if a confrontation might cause pain or harm.
  15. What are the units of NKTg? Please show your work. How do you get from this value to the effect on motion?
  16. Moderator NoteThis is a discussion forum, not a lecture hall. And divination is not science of any stripe
  17. Some main issues to address, per the rules, would be what predictions does this make, and how does it make them, as there is no math? How is this idea testable/falsifiable?
  18. “as in” i.e. your will be done here, as your will is done there. Two different places. People are being tasked with doing God’s will on earth as God does in heaven. We’re here, and she’s there.
  19. It’s clearly not saying that.
  20. Moderator NoteIt’s incredible that someone who wants to discuss advanced physics can’t follow simple instructions, but here we are. I have split this into its own thread. I’m not sure why you were incapable of posting this as a new topic. You may discuss this here, and only here. In this one thread BUT 2. If you hijack any other discussion to bring this or any other speculative idea up, you will be banned

    Moderator NoteYou need to stop hijacking threads
  22. 2024 estimate is 887 GW of solar, according to the US EIA. “Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China’s solar capacity. More than 720 GW of solar capacity are in development: about 250 GW under construction, nearly 300 GW in pre-construction phases, and 177 GW of announced projects, according to the Global Solar Power Tracker compiled by Global Energy Monitor.” Like I said, trending in the right direction. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=65064
  23. The ones that were hijacking the discussion have been removed. Other than that, no, we don’t do that.
  24. Given that solar and wind are often cheaper than the FF alternatives, even if the inflection point hasn’t quite been reached, it’s trending in the right direction.
  25. Indeed. My apologies to all for not noticing that they did not initiate the thread. The preaching has been split and placed in an appropriate receptacle
