The first iPhone did not have 3G when it came out, no GPS either, and no App Store - you were stuck with all the stock apps. It was definitely far behind its peers in several key aspects

Here’s a flashback: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/original-iphone-review/

Thanks - that makes sense. On that basis the article’s thesis is totally wrong - it would be like a computer program rating its ability based on how well it predicts moves played by grandmasters in the past. It’s not inventing new moves.

I understand how a computer can know that a chess move is more likely to lead to a win, and therefore “correct”, but I don’t understand how it can know that a token is correct. Can someone explain?

You can feel his love for her. Heartbreaking.

I’d say everyone got on the internet, and it turned into the equivalent of your local bar for discussions

Exactly - I am a lawyer and we are told to use dedicated AI products as much and however we want. There will be errors made

And when it comes, people will use it for porn, memes, and to argue with each other in bad faith

What stuffy traditional practices does the UK have?

It’s not western etiquette and makes no sense to me

Tinder was launched in 2012 though

I admire your patience when faced with someone who clearly has not read the article but still wants to be right no matter what...

Thank you - it is indeed €120k minimum capital

Then I suggest they make noise to lower it to €1 - much easier than creating a new legal structure

How is this different from an SE, which has been existing since 2004?

I suggest you read the article, it states the exact opposite and agrees with you

How effective is AI at pulling out relatively niche data from a document? Like - tell me which of these contracts has an arbitration clause?

I don’t think they were following Tesla. It’s a trend that affects everything, including washing machines. Tesla is a mere symptom

It’s not politics over competence. It’s getting things done in the real world

I think there’s a nuance. Chasing the low millions, and therefore financial security and comfort, is not the same as chasing billions, which would be Gatsby territory

Thanks for this - Graham hits the nail on the head

Indeed. And I see no evidence for the premise or the article. I read the book at school, and we all understood the not very subtle point about the illusion of money and how it does not bring happiness. The hopeless romantic aspect does get more touching as one ages though.

You are going to love Honore de Balzac and Emile Zola.

This has nothing to do with JFK - it was put in place in 1945

If only this were about eliminating a nasty despot…

The institutions work if all countries abide by their rulings. The US doing this sort for things is destroying the institutions we have, chief of all the UN and the ICJ, put in place at the end of World War 2 to avoid a repeat. We have not learned.

He was awful from the start, sending political opponents to prison and transferring oil money to himself and his croneys, but he claimed to be taking from the rich to give to the poor, so the Western left lapped it all up. It took them years to realise what he was actually doing (from the start).

How exactly will the US run the country? They have just one guy

Article I of the Constitution, Section 8: only Congress has the power to declare war.

International law exists - it’s the very purpose of the International Court of Justice

Yep - Reddit is unfortunately now where the simpletons hang out. This is far better, you can have intelligent debates

Exactly. And worse, it’s violating international law just because you can. This will be used by Putin and China etc to justify ever worse actions

Gas prices would have plummeted in any case, we have an over supply of LNG that is scheduled to get exponentially worse in the next 5 years
