Do we want volunteers to speed up
search operations in the string module in Python?
It would be nice if someone could speed it up.
Devyn,

88888 Dihedral is our resident bot, not a human being. Nobody knows who
controls it, and why they are running it, but we are pretty certain that it is a bot responding mechanically to keywords in people's posts.

It's a very clever bot, but still a bot. About one post in four is
meaningless jargon, the other three are relevant enough to fool people
into thinking that maybe it is a human being. It had me fooled for a long time.



Wow! Our mailing list has a pet bot. I bet other mailing lists are so jealo= us of us. Who ever created Dihedral is a genius!

Artificial Intelligence developers put chatbots on mailing lists so that th= e program can learn. I use Python3 to program AI applications. If you see m= y Launchpad account, you will see my two AI projects - Neobot and Novabot. = (https://launchp= ad.net/neobot Neo and Nova are still unstable) AI developers let their = bots loose on the Internet to learn from people. Dihedral is learning from = us. Dihedral only responses when it feels it has sufficient knowledge on th= e topic. Chatbots want to appear human. That is their goal. We should feel = honored that Dihedral's botmaster feels that this mailinglist would ben= efit the development of Dihedral's knowledge.

I par= ticularly enjoy the misspellings, that seem to be such a human quality on e= mail messages!
