OED says anticlockwise is used 0.09 times per million words. Counterclockwise is used 1 time per million words.

Yes, that will happen when most of the people in the world who speak English aren't actually English. Your single example of the researchers writing in UK English withstanding.

Any time I've read or heard the phrase spoken by Brits they prefer anticlockwise to counterclockwise. One example that quickly springs to mind is the British Global Cycling Network. I thought this was common knowledge.

And while I am still working on OpenWater and Alignable, the only thing I've gotten from LinkedIn in the past year is rewrite-your-resume scams

And therein lies the problem. People who just want a simple, sane political system feel (correctly) that it's not something they should have to put in a lot of effort to get or maintain. But the horrifying extremists have all the energy in the world to get their nonsense through, and won't expend any energy at all to just step back a bit and consider that their policies might be hurting themselves as well.

But yes, at the bare minimum people should put in the effort to vote and not nope out after buying into the nonsense that politicians are all the same.

Given the reference list, I suspect not ChatGPT, but rather https://magisterium.com/

It's the difference between a communist state where the government is forcing their people to head in the correct direction on this and a democracy where the people are choosing the wrong one time and time again.

I'm all for democracy. That's why I'm hoping its citizens will improve enough for it to survive.

I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://informationr.us/

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.

Indeed. And yet Stephen Miller is still gonna have a tremendous fit. Probably more so.

OK. But I'm pretty sure that generation could have gone to the moon 11 years after without the spousal abuse as well.

I was actually in college in the 1990s, but yes, a middle schooler today with python on a raspberry pi and a pretty simple GPS module could do this.

I didn't say it wasn't abhorrent or alarming. I'm presenting the scenario that this task of "defend this three dimensional coordinate box" doesn't require AI.

Yes, it did. The beacon signals weren't that good back then, neither were the sensors. I had the same problem in the fake robot battles I was involved in.

The answer turned out to be a solution not from Defense industries, but from Genie Garage Door Openers.

The robot doesn't care. The robot's job isn't foreign policy. The robot's job is "here's a box defined by this coordinate cloud, defend it"

Like I said, I programmed it for a fighting robot back in the 1990s. It ain't that complex, and with today's drone factory ships, the Navy can now output this level of AI in killbots at a rate of 10,000 a day.
