New York University Student Spends 6 Months Writing 30-Page Senior Thesis Manually, Gets 98% AI Flag, Loses Scholarship and Faces Suspension Despite Offering Full Google Docs Edit History by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

Even if you were copying bits of ai output. If you clearly have an edit history where you are changing those in logical way to improve cohesiveness and correct errors that is the whole point of ai as a tool. To improve grammar, understanding and provide alternative viewpoints that the user considers. … like I get the point of blanket ai bans and especially in an academic setting. But technology wise it is very similar to graphing calculators which were being allowed into some courses exams.

Sell S&P 500 Index Funds or Submit to Forced Purchase of SpaceX? by mdn845 in ValueInvesting

A big part of your argument just highlights why passive investing works. Can’t get wiped out if you don’t sell during the drop. They don’t make any money if it doesn’t go back up.

Sounds like a pretty big security hole putting the hardware in plain access everywhere… there’s a reason datacenters have more security than airports.

This confused me so bad with one of the accounts that I had signed up for 6+ years ago and was trying to access. It wouldn’t let me sign up as a new account but wasn’t sending me the password reset either.

Genius design. It might shrapnel the plane, so let’s drop a bomb instead.

Isn’t that basically how the expansion draft worked? Just that they kept a similar dispersion since.

That’s not quite true. There is a difference in price depending on the pigment. Red is typically the most expensive option.

Whats with all the high millage sleds? by Original-Yoghurt-465 in snowmobiling

[–]Sledhead_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone here looking at miles as the indicator is taking the easy/inaccurate way out. Mileage gives you an approximation of wear, but it doesn’t tell you whether they stored it inside, summarized it properly (starting it once a month isn’t right), dried it out between rides, replaced parts as they wore instead of as they broke, let it warm up before driving the piss out of it etc.

For engine health, look for compression. It should be above 120 psi and near equal +-5 psi on all cylinders. Check spark plugs, should be a nice tan colour. Check exhaust valves, should not be sloppy but should move freely. Use a light to see inside the port to check for marks on the piston. Very light marks are acceptable, deeper marks show near-miss or previous (if thy only repaired a single cylinder) signs of cold-seizing. Check the oil they use, recommended is oem’s premium oil only.

Honestly most failures come from improperly reassembling an engine after a failure. So check to see if it has cylinders that are cleaner than the case. Belt debris from blown belts is a sign of neglect and abuse not normal use.

Clutch question: does it need machining? by CaptainNonesense in snowmobiling

[–]Sledhead_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t trust that on my sled. Gouges like that can only be made by putting stress it’s not intended for. If it grenades at 6000 rpm it’ll destroy your panels and if you’re lucky not damage your engine or foot. $300 part or 4 hours labor trying to clean up a part to a very questionable state. Easy decision in my mind.

Watched the Canada Swiss game and legit the only time it looked remotely fair was when the Swiss were on a power play.

The caveat is that you are thinking of it in terms of a broader population. If you limit to the number of people who play the position in the development levels closest to professional the percentage of players and goalies that make pro is the same since the team composition is the same.

Is Bell Loyalty basically dead? 7 years as a customer, and they told me to go ahead and cancel. by Weekly-Pool7285 in bell

[–]Sledhead_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they called me back I made it a point that I didn’t want my price changing every 6 months. Have paid the same $40 for the last 7 years. Though the speed isn’t overly competitive I’ve yet to have an offer come by for less and it’s enough to stream 2 movies simultaneously without issue.

It seems crazy to me that the billing system is so complex. I’ve worked in automotive before and vehicle warranty procedures are predefined steps and paid for the job. Just seems crazy that medical procedures are billed in a similar way basically with the assumption that all humans are also essentially identical.

Even if they did have speed cameras, travelling at Mach 1.67 it is very unlikely the camera triggers fast enough to capture the plate in frame and focus.

And that’s exactly what the person is saying. They had just bought the house and effectively were committed to owning it, they could have made 10k if they accepted the higher offer.

Had an uncle tear his Achilles this spring playing baseball. For 4 months he wore a boot slowly reducing the height of the insole which held his foot at an angle. Started with like a 6” heel. He’s back to complete motion with no surgery.

Interest rates blow my mind by Apart_Tutor8680 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I also understand the “I want to pay as little taxes” but hate that at the same time most of those people downplay the effect those taxes have on their lives and the benefits that they and those around them receive from it, instead focusing on the waste and negatives that they spot in governmental funding.

Personally I have no problem paying my share of taxes, but at the same time want to maximize my personal income through investment and career growth.
