Require a nominal fee, say 100 Euros, to submit a paper for review. If the paper is determined to be AI slop, keep the deposit. If the paper is accepted or rejectee, then refund the deposit. Sitting on the deposits for months makes it slightly harder to scale the submission of thousands of papers.

Comment Re:Trump has expanded the high skill work visas (Score 1) 172

Can you name one republican that could win a debate with Pete Buttigieg ?

Vance would wipe the stage with Gov. Pete.

I'd like to see Byron Donalds out of FL to be VP for the Republicans besides Vance as POTUS candidate.

I don't think the Dems have anyone that could touch either of those folks in any sort of debate.

It is probably safe to assume the next Republican ticket to have Vance as POTUS and Rubio as VPOTUS

I think the 2028 dream ticket would be Vance and Byron Donalds out of FL....

That guy is just as cool and a great speaker publically as Vance is...

I don't think the Dems could put up anyone that could touch them in debates, etc.

They both handle the press like champs....

And it wouldn't hurt the minority vote the Reps need either....

Comment Blender is such a great open source tool. (Score 3, Informative) 23

Currently have a project going using Python scripting in Blender using scipy.optimize.differential_evolution and Cycles rendering to optimize the shape of a reflector to match a desired light distribution pattern. It's not a perfect tool for the job, but it seems to be pretty accurate.

There's a step inbetween. Fascists are incompentent and disloyal. When on fascist regime secures power, another faction is planning a violent takeover. Thst's just how these guys are. When it is time to hand the keys to the country over to J.D. Vance, someone close to Trump is going to be like: "No! It's MY time. I am the one that DESERVES to rule."

After a cycle of lunatics off each other, and America is in tatters. Then maybe some of my family members will agree that we shouldn't have put these dopes in power. By then it will gave been too late of course.

In the end, tge American people will stand by waiting for a way out that doesn't come at much personal cost or personal risk. We want a democratic republic with recognition of inalienable individual freedoms. But we also don't want to maintain the one we have or fight to create a new one from scratch.

Comment Management hoop jumps (Score 1) 57

The push from management to use Copilot and other tools has been a pointless farce. They've become so focused on adopting the new tools and even track our usage metrics. They they forgot that we have actual products and releases to address, and that we have cross functional bugs that aren't receiving the attention they need from management.

I feel like I could replace some of what project managers do with ChatGPT. Just get it some prompts to work out nag emails and track what outstanding bugs and features are at risk as the branch cut off approaches.
