That linked watch is basically (visually) a timex, which are reasonable quality and sold just about everywhere and for relatively low prices.

Does it matter in this context whether it's metals or tree rings or wrinkles around the eyes? It's all time, right?

Or a spot the difference. Generate 1000 generic facts about Alice and the same 1000 facts about Eve. Randomise the order and change one minor detail then ask how they differ.

I can't argue with that, so I think unfortunately I may have missed the original point. The sun revolved around the earth for a long time until our own model was updated to include more data.

Is that really true? I can go to a huggingface space right now and type in koala wearing a suit serving coffee at a republican rally and there's a reasonable chance I get a result that's something along those lines. Is that meanin

For an automatic with no date, the bulova hack is quite nice if the vintage field look works for you. The one I had was great for the price, probably the most accurate automatic I ever owned but that could well be luck.

> Hence the example is as much of a mistake as doing `return await Task.FromResult(value)` over just `return value`. We have some of these as well. Thanks, seems like it's time for some introspection.

I don't think the parent is suggesting that they be fined based on their profit. They're saying it's unusual to use revenue to talk about how easily a company could pay a fine, given that (cashflow cleverness aside) your reve

You're probably right, and I did wonder if it was just delegating the math. I remember they tried to get chatgpt to delegate to python for that sort of thing. What interested me was that even though it got it backwards 520.4 / 196

Yeah, I did check it all before I commented, quietly preparing to come out with something a little more scathing. It's nearly there though so it's genuinely an improvement on how they used to behave. Leaving aside the general ridi

I'm not sure. Maybe I'm caught in the hype but I feel like possible is one thing, scalable is another. We're at the point now where, for example, a leak of phone number + address book would enable a high quality, large scale

Some real australiana here. To paint the picture for those who aren't familiar, the industry is enormous and, in NSW in particular, extremely powerful. For a while (still? Not sure) in Brisbane, for example, you couldn't enter a b
