Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.

House of Leaves reference?

Most of the larger LLMs state the results of the model stemming from the user’s prompt intellectually belong to the user.

It’s a massive grey area, and the sum of these kinds of cases are what will define ownership of LLM output for the next ~50 years.

Don’t get me wrong, kid absolutely did not comply with the spirit of the assignment.

E: @[email protected] makes an excellent point:

If the student hired someone to write their essay and the author assigned all copyrights to the student, it's still plagiarism.

Who legally owns the work isn't the issue with plagiarism.

Somewhen in there are creatures we’d really get along with were it not for the 58.71M light years between our galaxies, and the unlikelihood we both exist as simultaneous civilizations.

They have! 2030.

I’m not sure if it’s a mandate, or a goal, but it’s there.

While it’s no consolation to these current people, they are trying to make the switch to lead-free aviation fuel. It’s partly a regulatory nightmare, and partly a genuine safety challenge; mandating a fuel change in aviation without adequate research and understanding can result in unexpected engine malfunctions.

The author needed the word count lol

There are ones with clauses that say “cancel any time” and then when you actually try to cancel they make it a substantial pain.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned the film Gattaca, which is centered around genetic identity.

Hi friends!

I am in search of a small Morse Code trainer/electronic keyer small enough to fit in my pocket, and has the following features:

  • Speed selectable
  • Works with an iambic key, and is Type B selectable
  • Has a key jack for an external keyer
  • Polarity selection, I key southpaw.
  • Headphone jack

Bonus:

  • Can adjust tone pitch down to 440Hz

Google turns up a few things here and there, I’d just like to see if any of y’all have any immediate recommendations.

Thank you!

I got it into my head that I would like to see a spherical depiction of my QSOs. Azimuthal and other representations weren't cutting it for me.

I managed to coax an LLM to output my ADIF into a KML so I could better visualize the reach of my QSOs, and I am quite stunned. 20m has almost complete global reach, as you'll see below. Admittedly, on CW it probably does. In these visualizations, the vast majority of contacts are on FT8 20m, but there are a few dozen SSB contacts as far as Indonesia. Usually I made these contacts well before sunrise.

This is a representation of my entire logbook, so any QSO not from the SW US are 10m.

Setup: IC-7300, barefoot, 15m mast, and a 20m twinlead j-pole. Having been temporarily based in a residential area, I had quite a high noise floor from various EMI sources, and could have probably done better with weak stations had my noise floor been lower.

Moving to the west:

More west, Australia prominently visible:

Antipodal view:

Looking toward the east, the west coast of Africa coming into view:

Africa; the lonely QSO east of Madagascar is Reunion Island, got this one on FT8:
