Ducks and brutality aside, it's obviously best to comply as you're getting arrested. If wrongful arrest, sort out later as it's all recorded. "Give me your hands," they shouted. He refused. "Lay down on your st

Yes, and when humans make bad guesses it's often seen as funny or nothing out of ordinary. When AI makes bad guesses, it will be seen as a failure of some standard, but with very few people understanding how to fix it. I'm not su

Yep, and humans will make good guesses about the likely cause of the moving box. These guesses will factor in other variables such as the context of where this event is taking place. We might be in a children's play room, so the likely

WFH is honestly like a pay rise. Money and time saved on transport, on takeaway food. Quality of food and life goes up, quality of my work goes up with it. Our company negotiated with staff on a case by case. Depending on the role, some neg

One very overdue improvement to iOS Safari I noticed: the humble HTML select element. Since the first iPhone, iOS Safari displayed a clunky wheel selector for HTML selects, requiring more taps than necessary to view and select an option fro
