Wot? They didn't say they cheated, they said they kept a copy of the prompt at the top of their document while working.

...whose published work on the essay's subject you can cite?

Presumably the teacher knows which students would need that, and accounts for it.

But differently spelled names are legally distinct.

For blue checks it's now much higher

This is the opening of both Blade Runner movies

What is actually missing from AT Proto to be usable in the way Doctorow describes? He writes:

Bluesky lacks the one federated feature that is absolutely necessary for me to trust it: the ability to leave Bluesky and go to another host and continue to talk to the people I've entered into community with there. While there are many independently maintained servers that provide services to Bluesky and its users, there is only one Bluesky server. A federation of multiple servers, each a peer to the other, has been on Bluesky's roadmap for as long as I've been following it, but they haven't (yet) delivered it.

But according to the source code repo, federation features are fully available, including independent servers. There's even a guide for setting up an independent server: https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting

Edit: looks like I'm probably not missing anything, and the protocol is fully capable of what Doctorow wants, it just doesn't have any other large instances yet: https://social.coop/@bnewbold/113420983888441504

Edit 2: I found a post that seems much more honest and informative about the actual limitations of AT Proto. In particular:

Relays cannot talk to Relays. If Bluesky Social, PBC decided to show ads (or do something else you don’t like), it would be very hard for you to switch to a different Relay and still be able to interact with all the other folks who stayed at the Bluesky Social, PBC Relay.

Edit 3: the "more honest" post above actually appears to be misleading as well: https://bsky.app/profile/shreyanjain.net/post/3lbndy6pknc2k

Where are you getting those numbers? The ones in the photo match NYT and Wikipedia.

The unnecessary and confusing functions are horrible, yes, but I'd still say that the fact that they're wrong is the "worst" part.

But the human portion has normal human proportions (though potentially scaled up a little). Why would being on a giraffe's body change that?

Holy shit, "prompt" is not primarily an AI word. I get not reading an entire article or essay before commenting, but maybe you should read an entire couple of sentences before making a complete ass of yourself for multiple comments in a row. If you can't manage that, just say nothing! It's that easy!

See how that says "99.8% reporting"? If you look at the NYT, it shows the results after counting 100% of the votes, and it matches what's in the picture.

...why are you in this community?

It's incorrect. Look at the NYT. The difference is that Politico's numbers weren't updated after the final votes were counted.

No Claude? It's pretty good in my experience, and I follow someone on twitter who does absolutely wild things with it.

For what it's worth, she was "quickly" released on bail (the article doesn't say how quickly), and the prosecution is not seeking further jail time but rather for the mom to sign a "safety plan" (although not signing could indeed lead to a year of jail time).

Your point is correct, but "the kid has no parent at all" isn't (currently) true.

Edit: just saw the body-cam footage of the arrest, and wow, they really didn't seem to care at all about the fact that taking the mom to jail would leave the kids with no one to watch them, despite that ostensibly being the entire reason for the arrest.

....ashamed to admit I didn't recognize the flag, and was thinking of people saying that the two political parties are indistinguishable. That does make more sense.

The Green Party is far more left-wing than the Libertarian Party is right-wing.

But...Bluesky is federated, at least in principle. If it stays single-instance for more than a year or so following the current uptick in popularity, then I'll accept that it's de facto not federated.

Why would someone who agrees with the Green Party platform prefer Republicans to Democrats? I'm sure such people exist, but I expect they're a tiny fraction of Green Party voters.
