It was a win under the rules but a memorably shallow one. Labour won a big majority of seats in 2024 on fewer votes (grand total) than when they lost handsomely in 2019.

That barely got covered in the UK news, but if wealthy rural people (who don't have good wired or cellular internet) get told their Starlink is getting banned it will be much more newsworthy.

I read some of the IMDb reviews and a person making a case for a film with a low score can tip the scales for me.

Had he not bothered with the work and the axis powers had been victorious, we would be executing homosexuals today. Modern threats from Russia and Iran hardly bode any better. Your reasoning that putting his name on an institution that does

Given Alan Turing's work in the defense field, I do not think it grotesque to put his name on defence work.

Might be an effect of your location, field and 3rd order connections. Also India is a big place with a lot of people in or looking for white collar jobs. Granted so is China so I guess the difference is LinkedIn is not so popular in China.

You and the other person may be talking at cross purposes. I took them to mean self driving cars give you a taxi experience without the labour cost of a human driver.

We used to have the concept of the divine right of kings. The current arrangements are a step down from that. Your framing has it back to front.

In the movies they usually sneak in and replace your genuine gadget with a modified one. more effective use of resources.

More recent reports are the police denying they did this. But the police have not got a great image on this topic at the moment which is probably why the headline is plausible.

News reported it was data getting passed around as a spreadsheet attached to emails. Ironically it would have been possible to build a case management tool with rbac on Palantir Foundry and avoid that screwup.

Yes. It came off as sneering.

I never saw any formal analysis, just a few anecdotal blog posts. Your colleagues might have seen the same kind of thing and taken it at face value. It might even be good advice for some models and tasks - whole topic moves so fast!

I was a bit unfair then. That sounds like someone with good intent tried to put something together to help colleagues. And it's definitely not the only time I heard of negative prompting being a recommended approach.

Not in Britain there isn't. We have constant retail theft and violence against staff and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley asking the public to do the crime fighting https://www.witneygazette.co.uk/new

That your firm purchased training that was clearly just some chancers doing whatever seems like an even worse approach than just giving out access to a service and telling everyone to give it a shot. Do they also post vacancies asking for 5

Only boiling the water you need for tea saves energy and time but won't save water unless you were throwing away unused hot water.

It aired on BBC World Service a long time ago. Apparently some guy wrote in from India to complain that robots (ie Marvin) shouldn't be employed in place of human actors. I wonder if he is still around to see how _that_ turned out.

You're right. Amazon UK has a great selection of used ThinkPads with worn out batteries. Fine if you have no plan to use it away from mains power. If something has a battery, I would rather buy new.

I have a Garmin with a monochrome LCD face. Ok, it can't compete on price but battery life is a couple of weeks (and can top up with solar) so the proprietary cable is not a big problem.

You're right. I should have used Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide as an example instead. There's very light processing on his speech.

Profitable schmofitable! But seriously, that is orthogonal to whether those figures are rounding errors at anthropic's financial level.

I've read some complete nonsense in those summaries. I use LLMs for other things but I don't find this application useful because I would need to trust it, and I don't.

Depends on the movie. Ash and Bishop in the Alien franchise sound human until there's a dramatic reason to sound more 'robotic'. I agree with your wider point. I use Google TTS with Moon+Reader all the time (I tried audio boo

From the title I thought this was going to be about a student using AI to take their place in class. I imagined a modern version of the montage in Real Genius (1985) where students leave tape recorders on their seats in the lecture hall.

Reminds me of my Czech friend explaining some of the subtle humour in 'Kolya' which I would never have got just from the English subtitles.

Even if the cash headline is less, some people will consider being your own boss makes up for that.
