It needed a little prompt engineering, but I got to: “Ah, "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen! He's the boss when it comes to rock and roll, renowned for his music and stage presence. His nickname certainly fits his iconic status in the music industry.”

I guess some people just don't care that their work is suboptimal. They just want to fill in their timesheet and get paid at minimum effort.

Yes. Technically it is diffusion with a source term. Physical boundaries extend to infinity. Symmetrical, no sign of drift.

Yes, but it is a free boundary value problem, like Stefan problem. It will reach a steady state when this OT lobby moves on to new pastures. tt's like Oxygen Depletion.
