This is a bit like the CIA totally failing to spot the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union.

Yes! Me too! A quite inadvertent side-effect of audiobook listening on the go, you end up accidentally creating 'memory palaces'. On the other hand, if you tune out somewhat the story continues without you so sometimes you can end

Yes, be careful of this. If you aren't using a plugin or the web browsing version it will make a total guess about what the article contains just from the URL, and describe it like it has read it!

If you get access to the plugins, there's one called Linkreader that will do this.

Nice observation, will help to formulate our Voight-Kampff tests. Might well get some false positives on neurodivergent humans though.

That 'survival of the fittest' interpretation is not the angle the article is coming from, I think. It's saying 'if you can control the symptoms, why worry if you have the disease?' Or rather, what if you were suffi

Spoiler: No. It has the same issue I've seen people note with some of its recipes - the proportion of the ingredients is all wrong. He dealt it a pretty bad hand though - sesame oil and rice vinegar as the base ingredients!

Yes, also it's funny how we anthromorphise these things but Bing seems so cold and prickly. The emojis seem insincere, and it will slap you down with immediately if you say something it doesn't like. The conversation countdown doe

I find this too. With GPT there is no such thing as a stupid question. That is really liberating! You can really double check the simplest and most basic of your assumptions with no fear of judgement. And as mentioned in other comments, the

I wonder if we will go back to the Star Trek paradigm, where everything is big chunky buttons and anything complex is initiated by voice control to a computer that understands you perfectly. (TOS of course, TNG went all in on touch screens)

Smithereens is my favourite! There is a bit of a cottage industry going in manufacturing Irish etymologies though, you can find someone somewhere claiming just about every unusual English word came from Irish!

Heard this in a few places. Can't say I've noticed myself (though I never lucid dream). I've even seen it put forward as evidence these models are like the brain as they have similar 'failure modes' - anyone know if

Imagining a meme of the sweating button push guy, only this time it's a single (lit) button and it's marked 'disable self-destruct'

And of course we must ask 'cui bono?' for this atrocity and the answer soon comes with the button for the free download of the minitool disk clone tool. Prime SEO work.

Funny observation! Soccer is even worse than this (in England at least, Italian players for example can seem very philosophical but it might be a side-effect of getting it through translation), with the added twist that you have to get your

The title confused me - I think the 'it' is ambiguous. It refers to the school not the PhD. So I think the meaning is "The school that grants your PhD thinks that PhD is not good enough to hire you".

A little frightening really. I do love the fact that it produces a whole load of really rather plausible technical and sales pitch content, then when it comes to the AI generated logo and name it's called stuff like 'Cloaud ShiVor

FM radio really is very good quality even still, it must have been spectacular back in the 30s. In fact, it's so good it's stymied the uptake of DAB radio, at least in the UK. Digital radio in fact is often worse as it is so compr

I get what you are saying, but I think it is confusing to refer to a 'redo' stack at all. There is only ever one stack, and you are always at the end of it. To go back through time you copy the states onto the stack (stack isn&#x2

Glad he got rewarded. Feels like this could have played out differently, if it had hit his disclosure deadline we might have been reading about him going to prison, such is the febrile nature of the legal situation around vulnerabilities.

Very interesting. To summarise, I think the issue is that the phone gets itself into a state of waiting for a locked SIM to release itself before it unlocks the phone - the problem being the attacker could have their own pre-locked SIM they

Great idea until an engineer tells a customer they aren't prioritizing that bug because it's too hard to fix and they aren't a major customer.

Thanks, that's interesting. I had understood that globalism meant something like free trade which is why it seemed so confusing that it was now being bandied around as an insult by conservatives, especially as since Brexit was supposed

Seeing this a lot. What is the coup? What is 'globalism' for that matter?
