I see. A polarised two-party system makes long-term planning really hard, like in the US. Ironically, that's not a problem in China, they have a one-party authoritarian state and can plan 10, 20 years ahead without worrying about elect

Makes sense. I'm not entirely sure if the UK has a public-private health system. What I do know is that companies offer private health insurance, even though everyone has access to the NHS. That suggests there's a private system i

Regulating porn, guns, gambling, tobacco, and alcohol has nothing to do with authoritarianism or a lack of freedom. It's about protecting people, just like we already do with seatbelts, speed limits, and food safety. Why do you think s

I don't live in the UK, but the stories we hear about the NHS from people who lived and worked there are honestly shocking. One guy had a brain infection and was told to wait four months for an appointment. Another went in for a root c

I've heard from Spanish friends living in the UK that the NHS is so bad, they fly back to Spain for medical checks and even to see the dentist. That's mind blowing.

At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, Huawei showed its CloudMatrix 384 system, which couples 384 Ascend 910C processors to reach about 300 PFLOPs of BF16 compute, almost twice Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 on that metr

I agree, VPNs make it way too easy to get around age checks. Maybe the solution is for governments to set up a simple age verification service, an official site where you pay $1 (refundable) to prove you're over 18. Then they could off

Having an agenda and a moderator is not enough. What meetings also need is: 1. Context: Why are we here? What's the problem we're solving? 2. Actions: What decisions did we make? What are the next steps? 3. Follow-up: Who's d

Your comment is misleading. 1. LLMs aren't like grammar checkers or translation tools, just like they're not calculators. They can handle far more complex tasks. 2. AI might be powerful, but it can't create anything original.

True. I know of a company that added a pay‑as‑you‑go option. In the first year, more people signed up, but over time subscriptions dropped, so they scrapped it. That said, pay‑per‑post is becoming more popular, and platforms like Substack a

If you want my honest opinion, GenAI is definitely going to change how we write and consume information: - Original, quality content will still exist, and it'll still need to be paid for, either monthly or per article. - Right now, art

Because they're in the business of producing original, quality content. That's why they charge a fee. Their whole model depends on real people writing articles. The moment they stop doing that is the moment they start losing subsc

Singapore-based AI startup Sapient Intelligence has developed a new AI architecture that can match, and in some cases vastly outperform, large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, all while being significantly smaller and more

I agree. If you're a large media org, the best way to monetise articles is to let people browse for free and buy tokens, one token per article. The more they read, the more tokens they buy, and if they're spending $30 a month the

Humans still write for sites behind paywalls like Wired, WSJ, FT, NatGeo, NYT, and The Economist, but I don't hear anyone say "I'm finally going to pay for good content written by humans." Instead, all I hear is people c

Are you saying that now, because of all the AI generated content online, you're suddenly willing to pay for sites like Wired, NatGeo, Popular Mechanics, MIT Tech Review or The Economist? These have been around for ages. Why now, and no

Oh, I was wrong about Roblox. Some users even encourage 8, 9-yo to install Discord so they can groom them. So I guess there are two different issues here: porn sites showing indecent images and videos to everyone, regardless of age, and sic

I'm a teacher in a private high school which allows students to have smartphones. Kids have unlimited access to porn and they circulate it during school hours, and there's not much we can do about it. AFAIK, the UK forced the big

In theory, yes. In practice, not really. There's always a billionaire in the US happy to turn a blind eye if it means making more money from porn, even if kids can get around the restrictions. Look at Elon Musk, one of the first things

The truth is that bad leadership and no clear vision led to Yahoo's decline. They went through over half a dozen CEOs in a short span and each had a different strategy. They failed to buy Google and Facebook, instead they bought GeoCit
