Can anyone help me find a novel I enjoyed years ago, set in a village on the rocky Cornish coast?

The main character had come to live there and finds himself drawn quietly into the community. He owns a small boat, moored on a river that opens into a bay which is guarded at the sea-edge by dangerous rocks where ships have been lost, and where one historical tragedy in particular is scored into local memory. Eventually, there's the need for a rescue to be attempted.

Anyone know it?

I'm a reporter looking to interview freelancers who have seen demand for their work go down -- or shift -- in the wake of ChatGPT and all the AI image generators.

This is for a story about how freelancers, specifically, have seen demand for their labor change as use of AI has spread.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@mimsical Your post ⬆️ could be interesting for the group @writers and for - I remember they already talked about the problem of fakes as a hard concurrence for their real books.

Is the testability of a theory essential to good science or is there room for more unconstrained exploration of ideas? @thetransmitter looks at whether this might be the case in relatively young fields like neuroscience.

mycelium (fungi) create expansive networks between themselves, soil, and plants. they communicate, between themselves and the plants that support them, to ensure their habitat remains safe and both they and the plants remain healthy and fed.

meanwhile, we let people starve and go without housing, and we can't even manage universal healthcare.

conclusion: humans are less civilized than fungus. 🍄
