It feels like a natural result of life expectancy increasing over 70 (world wide average) only in 2021 and a number of years past publication being required for something to be deemed a major work means it is natural that there are few today. Something like 100%, 110%, and 120% if life expectancy at the author’s time of birth might be a more useful measure today.

Fairly easily feels like it is doing some heavy lifting here. How much code would it take to produce a list of authors of major works (whatever that means), and their age when the work was published?

It’s a long way from got lazy to didn’t write their own Internet scraper to scan for books, author’s age and opinions.

No, but you can’t use CoPilot any more.

Does that mean I can get an ice cream?

I’ve only used it once, for WorkFlow creation but it seemed really useful there, but that may be more of an indictment of WorkFlow than an endorsement of CoPilot.

Did Microsoft force you to follow the tutorials and use CoPilot for business?

By advertising Copilot as capable of doing something they are guaranteeing the product is capable of it.

I think a “spirit of the law” world would result in judges that already abuse their absurd powers way too much have free rein over any abuse they want to do, and there would be no system for ensuring everyone is treated equally or fairly.

The current alternative is the corpos abuse their absurd powers, and there's no system for ensuring everyone is treated equally or fairly.

Really? How many Starlink satellites have blown up? How many F9 second stages?

There are a lot of better ways to present your point; for example:

How many batteries supplied with Elon Musk’s companies’ products have encountered an unplanned combustion event after light or no damage?

Does SpaceX use in-house or third-party batteries in their satellites?

Is their explosion rate of 2(?) per N, where N is the number of unexploded SpaceX satellites, plausibly still within the statistical ranges defined by non-SpaceX satellites given the data available to us?

Did the satellite deflect before it exploded or are the shard trajectories consistent with a zero-impact scenario?

etc.


hate to be pedantic, but for 2 out of N, n would have to be the sum of all satellites including the exploded ones

You’re probably right but the question isn’t mine in the first place; look up some data and you’re set to discuss with OP. I was constructing communication examples, not mathematically-correct ones. Guess I did well enough at that!

Perhaps they could do the audio+EM equivalent of LIDAR - put out a high frequency audio signal and than listen for EMF that matches.

A microphone is using so little electricity / voltage that I’d be surprised if you can detect anything even right beside it. It’s also not going to be tied to any fingerprint you’re trying to transmit.

And also do be doing positioning requires multiple spatially separated receivers (nothing like LIDAR). And good luck separating out other much larger sources of EM noise.
