- Comment on WAR! What is it good for? 14 hours ago:
If you spot it. If you manage to get a bead on it in time. If you don’t shoot too early and lose your opportunity. If, if, if. Obviously the Ukrainians have shotguns and are still badly affected by drones.

I rarely need the biggest burner, and the gas valves only go so low (to avoid accidental extinguishing) so i tend to use smaller ones. Full chat on the biggest one will incinerate most food!

Slight correction: I don’t believe anyone ever actually made the mistake during the war; i think survivorship statistics were in fact first analysed correctly, rather than incorrectly! But obviously it makes a good story the other way :P

Fruit also has a cultural (culinary) definition, and vegetable also has a technical definition (probably more than one)

Yes! They used a reed with a wedge profile and pressed it into soft clay at different angles to make the different marks. There are many different cuneiform writing systems - cuneus is Latin for “wedge”.
I think it’s fair to say it was quite impractical compared to modern writing, and you can see how it got vastly simpler over time - some symbols had dozens of individual marks, but were eventually obsoleted or simplified to have only a handful. The thing is, society was not literate then, so it was only the scribe profession that needed to use it.
And when you get into the akkadian system where one symbol could have a phonetic meaning (like a letter) or more than one, or also a logographic meaning (one symbol=one word), it is quite chaotic.

I love letters that used to just be a little guy. The LUGAL cuneiform symbol 𒈗 is another example. (Tilt your head to the left - he’s wearing a hat! )

What do you do if the engine dies in your car? Put your hazards on and pull over. In your helicopter? Pray you can autorotate to a field.

It looks like a cartoon character - I could easily see it as representing an adult or a child, and the easiest determiner would be comparing it to other characters from the same thing.
Attraction to cartoon characters is always going to be pretty weird. Trying to lump the stigma of paedophilia on that too is a bit pointless IMO.

So if it’s been steganographied with something the tool you use doesn’t check for, you’d never know. If someone’s post-processed the picture enough, the steganography will be destroyed and you’d never know. If the image was generated with a model that never embedded anything, you’d never know.
So as ever, AI detectors are unreliable snake oil and should not be mentioned except to point out how unreliable they are.

Even if the AI bubble collapses tomorrow (it won’t), to see lower consumer prices you would either need old stock to be marked down or the fabs that are currently making AI cards to switch to making gaming cards and those cards to be manufactured and come through the market. That will take months. Not only does the bubble need to pop, but everyone involved needs to believe and accept that it has popped, otherwise they will continue to keep prices high and AI production high in the hope that their plans remain correct.
Remember that it’s psychologically much harder to accept making a less money than you thought, which happens when you mark down prices, compared to making more money than you thought, which happens when you mark up prices! This is why prices tend to be “downwards sticky” and so, instead of going down when demand drops/supply improves, they instead tend to stagnate while other prices continue to rise gradually with inflation.

Likely bad for me specifically am have a pretty niche tariff that got worse last year and I imagine will be axed entirely.
But really, what the fuck is the competition and markets authority for? Privatisation of power got us some quite interesting tariffs from Octopus but seems pretty pointless apart from that.
