IMHO o1 it’s still comparable to a lot better for accomplishing actual stuff than DeepSeek. At least for my use cases. Of course cost is incomparably higher since plus has a very low limit. Which of course is a huge deal.

No. I assume exactly that. There is no objective and unbiased definition of “critical thinking” (unless you think it can be “taught” to someone in less than 60 minutes) let alone of specific teaching methods

So make the system (that’s already inefficient) several times more inefficient and then increase funding by a magnitude or two? Certainly seems like a reasonable option. I bet all problems could be solved using this approach. What could go

Yet the conviction rate in England was 84 % in magistrates courts (misdemeanors and low level felonies) and 78 % in crown courts (more serious crimes) which is not that different. Especially if we consider how a lot of crimes like DUIs are

So police should ignore all crimes other than murder? Because that’s what you’re going to get… e.g. nobody will prosecute any property related and others low level crimes (e.g. damage is less than hundreds or at least tens of thousands). Cr
