Once they hit year 6 or 7 (about 10-12) all bets are off My eldest son was so damaged by the cult of obsolete writing that he has to do everything on computer now, including exams. His writing before was neat and fast.

Yes it tends to work one at a time, but some videos have two sponsor segments and it doesn’t work the second time. I assumed it skipped to where people often skip to.

I don’t mind the in video sponsors. Some are good (ok map men ones are good), but crucially it’s not really something YouTube could directly block. They could put terms and conditions in place, but you’re driving product placement and it be

Yes I see those, and adverts for other services (watch this program etc) as adverts. I don’t see adverts embedded in content as adverts. Be sure I’m watching the World Cup on bbc and see an advert on the players shirt doesn’t mean I want my

Certainly in professional jobs in Europe I don’t see that.

Is this singapore specially? My Singaporean colleagues spend less than 30 minute commuting (which is fine for reading, 15 mins on the metro is a great time to get into a habit), and that’s a fair amount of third spaces (mainly outdoor parks

20 years ago I would be reachable at work on my desk phone. I’d be reachable at home on the landline. I’d be reachable at the hotel via reception. The only place that remains is the hotel. If I were out and about and wanted to reach home or

Anecdotally my kids wrote a fair bit before they were forced to do “joined up writing”. Since then they have stopped almost entirely and what little they do write is far less legible than before. If there is one thing I would ban from educa

It’s erosion of closed saas, not the internet. That already broke the hacker environments of yesteryear.

I bought a 4 year old leaf with 25k on the clock in May for £7k ($10k). Get about 150 miles on a full charge. I’d rather a little more as I tend to do 90 a day, so if it doesn’t charge offpeak overnight for some reason I’m left with a manua

You seem to be implying that mankind will decide to scale back AI in favour of tackling climate change, or that it won’t happen but AI will not destroy at least the economy which powers AI long before unrecoverable climate change will occur

Fortunatly there are ways to codify the agreement of the community/nation through the passage of laws and constitutional amendments. Something the US fails to do, as it’s more convenient politically to allow the judges to do it.

Not if the government allows that. The constitution doesn’t take away your right to build or own a nuclear weapon.

I admire your optimism. The only thing I see stopping AI is widespread nuclear war, or if we’re lucky widespread destruction of the electric grid leading to a collapse in gas’s and oil supply for only a billion or two dead.

That’s not how we get to the bottom of plane crashes. Why were the procedures to prevent this not followed or not in place.

U.K. railway like this. Root cause analysis. Sometimes the train driver is at fault, but usually there’s a way the problem could be caught or prevented.

The problem when you rely on unclear laws that haven’t been modified for 250 years is they haven’t been modified for 250 years. The scale of surveillance now wasn’t even thinkable back then. The ability to encrypt. The bandwidth and latency

My next trip to singapore is the end of next week. I’m staying a mile from the office, Apple predicts it’s 89% at 0730 but will drop to 75% during the day, and back upto 80% after dinner.
