It's more X marks the spot than following to a T

My god that brought back memories. The first commands when sitting at a new terminal was always, always:

stty sane

stty erase '^H'

It was well into the 2000s before Unix had useable defaults.

A bit earlier still

The Egyptians defeated the Sea Peoples and forced a subgroup, the Peleset, to southern Canaan to act as a buffer state to the Hittites to the north. This displaced the locals who would go on to become the Israelites.

The Peleset became the biblical Philistines.

She described herself as a wood nymph

No because a retired judge, Barbara Jones, has been put in control of the whole Trump organisation and every financial act has to go through her.

The back left leg of the bench in the pencil drawing is in the wrong place - at least that was what I considered the 'tell'.

But I found it really hard to spot the AI.

Maths and reality are different. Very different. Reality can be explored empirically while maths is logic not empirical. We can never say we are 100% sure about the rules/laws we have discovered about our reality, but we can say for sure that a maths theorem is true or false.

Maths is a set of self-consistent tools that can be used to predict what happens in reality. The mathematical description of reality is an estimate, contains countless assumptions and inaccuracies about where things are and what properties they have. In fact in quantum physics, we literally can't know momentum and location at the same time.

Maths can describe (or I should say, approximate) realities that don't exist.

Because maths and reality are different domains, we can know different things about them using different approaches.

In other words, a ROOAALTA.
