Apparently the word was used (also derisively) two years prior to the novel I assume you’re referring to.
(I looked briefly and failed to find a non-paywalled copy of the May 1956 Socialist Commentary for more context than the quote on that page.)


Yeah, no, i am sorry to report that this is an actual thing on yale dot edu in 2025:



200k applicants still might not be enough to reach their goal of 10k new agents by January, unless they relax the requirements even further than they already have.

The stories will be published (anonymously) on the project’s website, which is why we ask for email verification: simply to ensure that each story comes from a real person.
lol, i only skimmed it and actually didn’t notice it’s limited to Europe.
(my attempted joke was meant to imply something about kiwi accents making them not a part of the anglosphere)
another one for !mapswithoutnz@lemmy.nz smh my head
i haven’t used it myself but https://jmp.chat/ looks good if you’re OK with a US or Canadian number.
there is a lemmy community about it here: !sopranica@lemmy.ml.
The bears definitely took notice of the drone. The animals’ heart rate skyrocketed when the UAV flew overhead, and their stress response was stronger when the quadcopter flew in windy conditions that masked the sound of its approach — apparently bears do not like being surprised. One bear started moving faster after the quadcopter flew by. And the bear that had experienced the greatest increase in heart rate — from 41 beats per minute to 162 — moved nearly 7 kilometers in the next 28 hours, encroaching into a neighboring female’s territory.
All in all, though, the bears weren’t stressed all that much, the researchers concluded.
At least there is this:
Ditmer’s team says that their results reinforce the NPS ban on drones in parks.


the leap from “lower factual error rates than an equally-prompted baseline without retrieval (as judged by an external LLM)” to “enables trustworthy, cross-domain scientific synthesis at scale and establishes the foundation for an ever-expanding encyclopedia”


in 2019 when they locked everybody in Southern California using a certain major service out of making edits
I assume that block is not still in effect?
I was trying to edit an article on carbon because they had an isotope incorrectly labeled
Out of curiosity, was this error eventually corrected, or is it still wrong today?
Encyclopedia Britannica still rules and is worth the money
I just looked for the first time in years and it appears you can read it for free… What do you get by paying for it besides disabling the ads (which my ad blocker already does)?
I see they have a list of changes to articles now, but they don’t show the old versions or diffs between them.
Also I see there are “Quick summary” and “Ask the chatbot a question” buttons on every page 🤡


Democrats like yourself insisted that this wasn’t a big deal
lol! you obviously have me confused with someone else


Maybe,
why maybe and not obviously yes?
but Democrats are running an 80 year-old conservative
they’re also running a 41 year old murder enthusiast who is larping as a progressive, and they’re bolstering his credibility by pretending to fear his policies. it’s called hedging.
His problem is he never expected to run for office and therefore didn’t delete his socials.
You think the problem is that he didn’t delete is socials? (He actually did delete them and hoped to get away with it, it’s just that reddit archives exist and someone leaked his username to CNN.)
I think the problem is actually that (in his own words) he “wanted to have an adventure and kill some people. Joined up in ‘04, did Fallujah and Ramadi, and managed both.”


The primary is still seven months away.
Platner says some good things, but given his absurd lies about his lack of knowledge about his nazi tattoo, and his vague downplaying of these murder-loving reddit comments as being “a long time ago” (without even actually disavowing anything specific) despite them reaching all the way up to 2021, it’s difficult to believe anything he says.
Since Maine voters do seem to have an appetite for the actually-progressive policy positions he’s endorsed, shouldn’t someone more credibly holding those positions run?
What? No. Do you really think their “sharing” with “partners” who are “providing sponsored suggestions” doesn’t involve money being exchanged? 🤔
Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:
All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) “LEGAL definition” of “sale” is imo insulting to the reader.
