Also possible. OpenAI's models do love their bullet points, and especially having exactly three examples in a list. The catchphrase "math magic" at the end also reeks of GPT-4's didactic blandishment.

Yeah, there aren't a lot of popular map projections that fail that test, unless you perhaps count the polar projection used for the UN logo. I'm guessing that sentence is there as a result of editing; perhaps it originally said equally-spaced parallels (which is true of the Robinson projection) but someone math-savvy was consulted to correct the claim to its current form (without seeing the context) and the maintainer of the page wasn't knowledgeable enough to realise it should just be removed.
The thing is... there have been plenty of outspoken and highly visible survivors of school shootings for decades. How the hell do we exorcise this gray paste of untruth?
In English, "IA" is usually understood to mean "Internet Archive." Only "AI" means "Artificial Intelligence."
Well, if each book has its own docker container...
Hmm. Yeah. You're right. Editorializing by Slashdot commenter fuzzyfuzzyfungus, then!
You're not wrong, but first we must all take two minutes out of our days to laugh at the misfortune of political canvassers, whose methods should be illegal.
No primary source suggests that the effect would be partisan—that's editorializing by Daring Fireball writer John Gruber. The GOP letter, which is somewhat internal to the RNC fundraising effort, simply provides an estimate of their own lost revenue.
If you're an unknown sender, you go into the bin. Simple as.
For what it's worth, simply painting a normal gun to look like a toy has been attempted before, too. But I agree that conversions like this must be pretty spooky if you're in law enforcement. Still, toy gun form factors needn't be the only gimmick; consider the chaos a briefcase gun could unleash without scrutiny. The sky is the limit for designing concealed weapons if one is sufficiently imaginative and determined.
I think you're already plenty concerning just on your own!
Are you OK? You don't seem OK.
It's time to learn about the REU!
"Penultimate" isn't a synonym for "ultimate"—it means the thing before the ultimate. Likewise we have penumbra for the blurry edge of a shadow (umbra). This results in some truly special words like "antepenult," meaning "the thing before the thing before the final thing," commonly used when discussing where the stress/accent falls in a Greek or Latin word.
"Invaluable" does indeed mean "not able to be valued" when analyzed morphologically, but the standard usage of it is indicating something is beyond value, i.e. infinitely or inestimably valuable. A value of zero is still a value, after all.
"Inflammable" however actually means "able to be inflamed," as in "put in flame" or "set on fire." The confusion comes from assimilation of the Latin preposition "in" (which we have as "in" or "on") instead of the more typical prefix "in-" (which demarcates negation.) You don't have to look very far for other words where "in" doesn't mean "not": indicate, inherit, imply, investigate, indict, involve...
Perhaps if it had adequate funding... ?
