A marker point for geodetic marking. Also known as triangulation station or trigonometrical point, it's fixed to the ground with its known coordinates.

Randomness (even the computer's pseudorandom) is really amazing. Perlin noise, Sierpinski triangles traced through random walking, etc... Lots of things can be done with random sequences.

If it weren't for "CA" (California) in the description, I would firmly believe that the photo is of some house in simpler inland cities here in Brazil. It's a fairly common thing that we call as "puxadinhos" (constructions that have no engineer, often built by the owners themselves, because both a civil engineer and a mason are generally pricey and inaccessible to a vast majority of Brazilian population).

As a Brazilian, I kinda see what's going on: "Você consegue me entender?", to which it's often replied "Sorry, I don't speak Spanish". Portuguese is not Spanish, galera!

I don't know if I'm allowed to share here, but there's an... how could I say... alternative... archive snapshot, from the moment when the paywall weren't in place yet... It's available today at a site that are known for archiving things. 😀

"The system can listen to conversations".

What a timely coincidence! Patent got published basically at the same time Meta's, Google's and Microsoft's "Active Listening" got public as well. 🤔

Bots are like microplastics. No place on Earth is free from them anymore.

It's half empty and half full, at the same time, in some quantum overlapped state. The actual state, either half empty or half full, collapses as soon as it's open.
