Thank you, from my cursory look of their comparison page, this is the information that was missing. But maybe that was a deliberate choice on Apple's part.

> With the AI slop being promoted on the major social media platform’s algorithm, I believe we will go back to following real humans. Back to followers, where we decide who we want to see.

This is a nice thought but I think it's wrong. If TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts have proven anything, it's that people don't want to decide they want to consume. It's cynical but it's what the data has shown time and again works for these platforms. Passive consumption is easier for the user and companies know it keeps us online longer.

When you ask people, they will say they want to see who they follow but their behaviour, incentivised by companies, says otherwise.

And in such polite prose too

I agree. It's not too bad heading east to west because there is a seperated cycle path (although, it can cause issues with pedestrians and the bus stops). However, basically any other direction is awful - particularly going from Blackfriars towards Camberwell.

What really frustrates me is E&C has a lot of space. I'm not a city planner but you'd think having the room to fully seperate each form of transport would make it easy to improve.

> The black hole is actually quite special. It is different from all other known black holes, and its existence is difficult to explain with standard binary evolution models.

Given this and the difficulty in spotting dormant black holes, it will be interesting to see if these black holes are suprisingly common. Similar to the way gravitational microlensing led astronomers to find far more low-mass planets than they expected.

This is incredibly important to point out. It's sad when everyone gives up on global collaboration because some things aren't going well - that's not a reason to give up on collaborations, it's a reason to double down.

CFC elimination is a great example but even a hugely complex issue, and one we aren't doing well on, like climate change has had progress according to the latest IPCC report because of global collaboration.

Putting the ML conversation to one side, this is a fantastic piece of marketing.

It's perfect for getting attention from a wide audience and is a great demo of their product.

I write a fair amount for work, mostly dev related content. The idea of 1000 high-quality words a day for a month is terrifying.

The bit where he breaks down how these ghost writers actually need to write 1000 an hour to make a living shows how absurd and broken it all is.

I've discovered later than I should that for me, I need at least a two week break from time to time.

I need actual holiday where I don't answer emails or even do what I used to consider the minimum required. From an outside perspective, that's always been obvious to me and I've always understood that people need it, I just never applied it to myself.

Inadvertently holiday time is often when my best ideas come.

> The decision now rests with Home Secretary Priti Patel

Priti Patel has no problem making it as hard as possible for refugees to settle in the UK, supports the death penalty and is responsible for the absurd plan to fly immigrants to Rwanda for processing. Something tells me she wont hesitate to extradite Assange.

I know it's not the important part of this post but their presentation really is good.

Particularly the security fixes. Easy to find case numbers, impact levels and clear descriptions. All with decent spacing that makes the page feel clear and legible.

> Arpeggio used their own technology to do drug discovery, and sold it as “consulting” to build credibility with investors and trust with a few initial clients.

This sounds like a great example of them focusing on one thing and doing it well. It must have been a tightrope walk not to give too much information away about their IP and get crushed by competitors.

Couldn't agree more. If he was caught after a few hours, that's on him and security are doing their job.

3 months is a damning amount of time for the officials.

It is an another interesting example of social engineering and the ability for people to believe anyone with a badge.

Content purchases like podcasts with high loyalty and high NPS are smart buys. Anything to make the average consumer look favourably upon their brand and add yet another factor for lock-in. With such cheap capital it will be interesting to see how large these content purchases get.

> I am a skeptic and I'm very far from trusting experts.

As you've said this I hardly think anything I'm going to show you will change your mind. However you have asked for some evidence so here is some.

> Sea levels

From about 3,000 years ago to about 100 years ago, sea levels naturally rose and declined slightly, with little change in the overall trend. Over the past 100 years, global temperatures have risen about 1 degree C (1.8 degrees F), with sea level response to that warming totaling about 160 to 210 mm (with about half of that amount occurring since 1993)

> Bird population

In 2018, the all-species index in the UK, based on the aggregated population trends of 130 breeding species, was 11% below its 1970 value.

>Is carbon dioxide bad?

From the IPCC 2014: Human influence on the climate system is clear, and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen.

If you really want to learn I cannot recommend the IPCC's reports enough, whether you 'trust experts' or not, they lay out the problems we face as a species. The scientific consensus is that the Earth's climate has warmed significantly since the late 1800s, caused in large part by human activity.

I see, thanks. Let's hope they don't have to cull the birds.
