Open net fish farms are proven to increase parasite counts on nearby wild stock

No, that's the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans official study:

Usually farmed fish, or wild fish caught near fish farms, are the ones riddled with parasites.

This is from a talk the CEO of the self-proclaimed first Canadian company to offer its own points based rewards card, not just AirMiles(which was presumably making money on the same thing, selling metrics.) it was a long time ago, so forgive the inexact quoting.

The purpose of the rewards card is metrics. With it, we know which customer is buying what, at what time, with what payment. This allows us to better target both sales as well as tailor entire stores to their respective customer bases.

Hell, the oldest dildo is made of stone and definitely predates civilization

Yeah but this aren't planets. We could always just reuse the name Pluto. Then all the old books are right again.

We can call the new planet Cerberus. On honor of Pluto.

No, thats not how it works. Ive already explained and posted links as to why.

The Vasa comes to mind. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)

USSRs space shuttle, although technically that didnt fail on its own.

The failed Chinese attempts to use stolen SpaceX plans that resulted in at least one town that we know of being destroyed with toxic smoke and fire.

Virgin's space program.

Boeing's space program. Increasingly, the 737-MAX too.

Amazon's space program.

Musk and the stupid decisions made around Starship, that resulted in over a year of setbacks since the launchpad had a woefully inadequate flame trench that everyone called out long before the first two failed launches.

The Titanic.

Related to the last one: OceanGate and the Titan.

When the Athenians starts the Peloponnesian War by invading a different city state than Sparta(to ostensibly use that city's military against Sparta), but screwed it up, creating the conditions for them to lose said war.

You can make it more deterministic by reducing the acceptable range of answers, absolutely. But then you also limit your output, so thats never really a good use case.

Randomness is a core functionality of not just LLMs, but the entire stack that has resulted in LLMs. Yes you can get a decently consistent answer, but not a deterministic one. Put another way, with LLMs being at max constraint, you can ask them to add 1+1. You'll usually get 2. But not nearly always.

I love your wishful thinking. Too bad academia doesnt agree with you.

Edit: also, I have to come back to laugh at you for trying to argue that the almost random nature of software random number generators is deterministic AI.

AI can be made deterministic, yes, absolutely.

The current design everyone is using(LLMs) cannot be made deterministic.

Nice pipe dream, but the current fundamental model of AI is not and cannot be made deterministic. Until that fundamental chamge is developed, it isnt possible.

Well for starters they keep making it harder to actually delete any mods you uploaded there.

Best project Ive worked on, we went and implemented a scrict code standard, based on the code standard that a firm that contracted my team to do the work had.

Worked perfectly. Beautiful, maintainable code. Still used today without major reworks, doesnt need it. Front end got several major updates, but the back end uses what is now called microservice architecture, and we implemented it long before the phrase was common.

Got the opportunity to go back to it this year. Devs with the 2nd firm not only ignored all of the documentation we put out, they ignored their own coding standards document.

If nothing else, there is space for a competitor to MS teams in the corporate space.

Everyone else is ending up on teams, but no one actually likes it.

China has an Abysmal record on women's rights.

There is something else making this move on than the suffering of women. Probably because this way they get to shame Japanese maid cafes. Not that the idea of those isnt weird.

Most mountain resorts of BC have them, they'll eat from your hand if you hold it out flat for them.

If they're feeling greedy though they'll also just take unoffered food as you're trying to eat it.

The best one was when Hancock questioned the authenticity of a photograph taken by his Wife.
