"Our findings challenge the widely held belief that humans only began influencing the environment with fire in the recent past"

This brings into question all their findings. No way a million hunter and gatherers had any significant impact other than an occasional wildfire, which we still do by mistake today. The difference is that today we can leverage fossil fuels to extract more fossil fuels; we aren't picking up sticks by hand like our ancestor's did. So obviously this study has a political agenda.

Comment Not even once quarterly. (Score 1) 34

A few times annually is once every four months. TFA does have stats for "a few times a week" users as well. If AI was really all that, lots of people would be using it dozens of times a day. But they didn't study that because reasons. Something that helps a few times a week doesn't sounds like something that can reduce staffing and costs more than a few percent.

Comment Are you an ableist? (Score 1) 191

There are numerous disabilities that can prevent someone from touch typing. For example, chronic joint pain and essential tremor (since birth) makes it impossible to know the position of my fingers without looking at my hands. There are times I have no idea what an entire limb is doing. So if you're judging someone based on their ability to touch type, you just might be an ableist.
