Afaik that is handled through tool use in modern models (ie they didn’t learn to do maths, they learnt to use a calculator), assuming that’s true and I haven’t missed some advance, their conclusions are likely still relevant

Edit: though the article does seem to discard the chain of thought techniques a little readily, feels like they could come close to fitting the role of executive control, but perhaps that’s just the article lacking detail from the original work.

If I could wire a calculator into my brain I would have cheated on all the maths tests tbf

I want this comic on a mug

Fuck, is that article hard to read.

Nobody in Britain would mistake this as consequence free if we rejoined. The pro-brexit crowd would be spitting fire and the remainers would be bemoaning the lost decade. Who do you think would be in this hypothetical smugly oblivious state of superiority at that point?

Not that I think there’s a chance in hell of us rejoining on original terms, but if we somehow did it’d be more like a shellshocked and half dead soldier falling back into the trench, hardly “consequence free”.

More seriously, if you want to put new conditions in, I’d focus on forcing the uk gov to invest in bringing awareness of and encouraging engagement with eu institutions, that was the real downfall here I think, nobody paid attention to how it all actually worked, so the shit rags could claim whatever they wanted and there was insufficient real experience amongst the public to counter it.

I always liked the extended version:

The camera bump sure isn’t going away for a folding phone. cameras have fundamental volume requirements to maintain quality, if they don’t think they can justify making the normal iPhone thick enough to enclose the camera then there’s no way in hell they’ll think the folding phones doubled width can include it, if anything you’d expect it to be more prominent on a folding model

I just want a headset that doesn’t descend into hissing at me in mono over a crackly 1940s phoneline whenever I dare to use the microphone.

You can follow the law and still screw up the response/announcement pretty badly, and so many do not even manage that much.

So yeah. It’s satisfying when someone acts both professionally and conscientiously in a situation like this.

All because Reagan felt their power trip was more important than maintaining safety in a system entirely dependent on maintaining safety.

Email isn’t going anywhere. It’s the ipv4 of communication. You can list 100 things bad about it and none of it matters, too many things are now built on top of it, no competitor can possibly have a chance without first reimplementing email, and then they’re just adding extensions which everyone else ignores, and email continues.

The more plausible threat to email is that it gets siloed into the top 5 or 6 providers and everyone else gets filtered out as spam (ie you need gmail, hotmail, etc or your emails will never reach anyone)

They ruled the planet for 150 million years and didn’t ruin the environment once ? What are they even doing?

We’re clearly superior, who else could speed run the mass extinction end game?

I don’t know where it all went wrong. All we did was incentivise spewing shit all over everything and now for some reason there’s shit over everything. It just doesn’t make sense.

They didn’t “build” their business model on it so much as “clung desperately onto the only lifeline in existence to avoid drowning in debt”.

There really isn’t a plan b, it’s not like they’re refusing to switch to the obviously better business models out there that could replace their search money. There just aren’t many business models that can maintain the development costs of a web browser and engine.

If it was a matter of half the price then nuclear would be the clear winner. Paying double to get stable power rather than variable power is currently a clear win.

Nuclear has a lot of baggage on top of being more costly (eg public fears, taking a lot longer to get running, building up big debts before producing anything, and having a higher cost risk due to such limited recent production), if it was just a simple “pay twice the price and you never need to worry about the grid scale storage” then nuclear would be everywhere.

Well that sucks. My favourite moment in a hidden role game was when a player won by misreading their card and convincing both of us that we were allies at the start. They ended up the only evil player for most of the game and then in the last round after we’d worked together to systematically kill everyone else (all weirdly innocents, we were both feeling guilty by this point), when they finally realised they knew there was no evil player they checked and… killed me. Total madness and a glorious victory for them. How can you be mad at that?!

Voids often have limb arrangement malfunctions

This is ours from last year

Criminals are famously environmentally conscious, and never have any spare cash for a pricy car as a mode of transport. Of course.

Who said he was wrong? He basically guaranteed that android users will respond that way by refusing to support them, thus ensuring he will always be right about them
