As long as you were using the crossing to escape Thurrock / Essex, I'd call it a win.

The gender I'm not attracted to? What one is that? Let me know if you find one.

I see it as a shop manager doing what the police and the thief's parents never did and actually punishing him for breaking the law. We're not talking about a poor guy trying to steal some food to get by, he's taking thousands of dollars worth of behind-the-counter merchandise to make a profit for himself. You probably think "oh well they have insurance" but when the insurance company pay out thousands for the lost merchandise, who do you think picks up the bill? The 7-11 does. Who do they pass that bill on to? The paying customer. So theft from this shop is theft from everyone who legitimately uses this shop. Then when those people see that prices here are double what they are at the supermarket, they don't shop here anymore, the store closes and the community is out of another resource.

The way I see it, the shopkeepers are not bootlickers at all, they're ensuring a community resource isn't lost, along with their own jobs, and that profiteering theves think twice about trying to do this again.

Yet another scummy energy company led by grifters and ripe for nationalisation.

Isn't this the same paper that has been linked here multiple times in the past week? I can't see anything new on there that wasn't reported this time last week.

Most of Dylan's talks are good, but I liked this one in particular due to it talking about such a relatively old technology and how we've gotten used to some arbetary rules that aren't in the spec. I feel like it does say that we should be careful with the rules we put in place for things like protocols, since sometimes tougher constraints lead to a less ambiguous experience for users and maintainers.

I personally switched back to Firefox after 13 years earlier this year and was surprised just how easy it was. All my main extensions exist on Firefox and it gave me an opportunity to remove some extension bloat at the same time. Highly recommend.

These snowflakes these days and their plant-based rice. Back in my day we had artificial rice and we LOVED it.

LLMs act nothing like our brains and are not neural networks

Err, yes they are. You don't even need to read a paper on the subject, just go straight to the Wikipedia page and it's right there in the first line. The 'T' in GPT is literally Transformer, you're highly unlikely to find a Transformer model that doesn't use an ANN at its core.

True, and this is the annoying thing about people unqualified to talk about AI giving their opinions online. People not involved in the industry hear "AI" and expect HAL-9000 or Ava from Ex Machina rather than the software that the weather service uses to predict if it will rain tomorrow, or the models your doctor uses to help determine your risk of Heart Disease.

This is compounded further when someone makes a video simplifying what an LLM is and mentioning that the latest models use it, which leads to the chimes of "bUt iT'S jUsT aN Llm BrO iTs nOt AI" and "ItS jUsT a LOaD oF DaTa aND aLGorItHMs, tHaTs NoT AI". A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Designed to not need a driver, yet there's always at least one guy standing next to the first set of doors constantly using the manual override key. Seems a bit useless to me.
