the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.

Yup, that was exactly my experience too (in northern France in August 1999).

On Wednesday, prompt engineer Riley Goodside tweeted an AI-generated song created with the prompt "sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License," and it began to circulate widely in the AI community online.

I've seen parts of the world where people currently live in partial cardboard boxes with dirty mattresses as their only furniture. They still live as if the are not part of the modern world.

I'm sorry... I'm trying to understand what you're saying. Are you saying these people choose to live that way because they've chosen to opt out of capitalism? And that they could instantly and effortlessly have a fantastic life if only they joined the club?

Are you serious?

I assume that banning all robocalls requires new legislation, whereas the regulation mentioned here didn't.
