Am I alone in thinking atrophy might not happen? I use a keyboard all day but it doesn't mean I can't write by hand anymore. Predictive text didn't make me forget how to spell. If i buy coffee it doesn't mean I forget how to make it
Counterpoint: my handwriting is way harder to read and my hand tired faster than when I was in high school. And I am worse at spelling and my vocabulary has stopped expanding much since I started typing more and reading less
Small point, if you're traveling from republic of Ireland you don't practically need a passport or an ETA, you can just drive over the invisible border
The display has some bearing on this. Generally, 1080p is good enough but some cinematography benefits from better resolution and as a result, requires a better display.
These AI companies are all in the same boat. At current operating costs and profit margins they can't hope to pay back the investment, so they have to pull tricks like rebranding models and downgrading offerings silently.
There's no oversight of this industry. The consumer protection dept in the US was literally shut down by the administration, and even if they had not been, this technology is too opaque for anyone to really be able to tell if today they're giving you a lower model than what you paid for yesterday.
I'm convinced they're all doing everything they can in the background to cut costs and increase profits.
I can't prove that Gemini 3 is dumber than when it came out because of the non deterministic nature of this technology, but it sure feels like it.
Maybe I missed something in the article but why Singapore and not a country closer in culture to the US? Like why not compare to Canada or the UK, or anywhere in Europe?
Did the study have to go as far as Singapore to find somewhere where the situation was reversed or was there another factor?
A few days ago there was a discussion about how Singapore forces their people to save and invest in bonds. The country makes money on the difference between the daily/compound rates and it keeps their workforce working.
In other words, I suspect it's "we started with Singapore then compared to America" not the other way around.
I don't know which Reddit thread you're reading (there are many I'm sure) but the one in r/Aviation seems to have a favourite theory that there was a credible threat of someone with MANPADS, which are shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles and not some sort of sanitary product.
Apparently they have a ceiling of 18,000ft which is exactly the limit of the restriction in El Paso. Aircraft are allowed fly over if they go above that
That looks like a rather flat trapezoid for something that fell from high above.
With a fast-moving object, we can usually tell its trajectory across the map much more accurately than we can tell where along that trajectory it impacted the ground. See: MH370.
Maybe fits the "DoD is shooting something at some kind of incoming drone" explanation - they know they're shooting _from_ the top of the trapezoid but in terms of direction, only that they're vaguely facing south. (Doesn't really explain why the TFR doesn't extend into Mexico though.)
> EU citizens have elected ineffective leaders for decades -- leaders that ignored the potential to set up homegrown cloud providers, software suites or tech companies.
It's not like there are people out there on the campaign trail every election saying "if I'm elected, I'll ensure we build homegrown cloud alternatives". Nobody campaigns on issues like that. The reality is you have to choose between people who want to kick the immigrants out and people who don't, people who want to enact green policies and people who don't. People who want a European army and people who don't. These big issues are what people vote on, even if we care that there should be a homegrown cloud industry. I really do care, but it's not something I can do anything about at the ballot box
Unfortunately, Edward's project is just a runtime for running AGS games on Mac. The AGS Editor (the topic of the original post) is still Windows-only, and will likely always be due to its deep reliance upon Windows GUI libraries.
