1) Leave the phone at home
2) Use a phone with a hardware toggle switch that physically kills power to the cell modem, or turn off the phone and put it in a tested Faraday bag
3) Conspire with other citizens to make such location tracking illegal and to enforce that law
I’m tired of privacy doomerism. You have options, use them.
> False. You can: 1) Leave the phone at home
Then you dont have a phone, do you? Come on you are being pedantic for no reason.
(Incandescents also flicker at 50/60Hz of course, but the thermal inertia of the filament makes this a lower amplitude flicker.)
But also note that not all LED lights flicker.
> Plagiarism is using someone else's words, ideas, or work as your own without proper credit, a serious breach of ethics leading to academic failure, job loss, or legal issues, and can range from copying text (direct) to paraphrasing without citation (mosaic), often detected by software and best avoided by meticulous citation, quoting, and paraphrasing to show original thought and attribution.
> Plagiarism is using someone else's words,
Its right there. LLM is not "someone else"; its a very useful piece of software.
My brother in law is a professor, and he has a pretty bad opinion of colleagues that use LLMs to write papers, as his field (economics) doesn't involve much experimentation, and instead relies on data analysis, simulation, and reasoning. It seemed to me like the LLM assisted papers that he's seen have mostly been pretty low impact filler papers.
Its understandable that you believe that, but its absolutely true that writing in academia is a huge time sink. Think about it, the first thing your reviewers are going to notice is not results but how well it is written.
If its written terribly you have lost, and it doesnt matter how good your results are at that point. Its common to spend days with your PI writing a paper to perfection, and then spend months back and forth with reviewers updating and improving the text. This is even more true the higher up you go in journal prestige.
Secondly, even if it is true that it is a majority opinion in society doesn't mean it's right. Society at large often misunderstands how technology works and what risks it brings and what are its inevitable downstream effects. It was a majority opinion in society for decades or centuries that smoking is neutral to your health - that doesn't mean they were right.
That its a majority opinion instead of a tiny minority opinion is a strong signal that its more likely to be correct. For example its a majority opinion that murder is bad; this has held true for millennia.
Heres a simpler explanation: toaster frickers tend to seek out other toaster frickers online in niche communities. Occams razor.
But the more concerning fraud is when you purchase something and don't receive what you should have received from the merchant. Whether it is due to outright fraud or not. In these cases you will also have your money reimbursed by your credit or debit card.
This may be what the letter of the law says but this isn't reality. Using debit puts you at greater financial risk.
