The issue is you'd still need humans to verify its correctness... It could come up with all sorts of new discoveries, some of which would be hugely groundbreaking, but a lot of which would be correct-sounding nonsense, just like AI at the present does with normal sentence... The issue with ML is that it doesn't really doubt itself, and anything that could would be a whole new technology, not just a hugely improved version of gpt4

CO2 is 72.7% oxygen by weight, and 27.3% carbon. 2kg is 28.5% of 7kg, so with rounding it works out even if that is assuming that the coal has no impurities - it may be closer to 6kg but essentially it takes oxygen from the air and adds it to the carbon in the coal to form CO2

Well it's helpful that the income that the government gets from the royal family's estate is increasing by around 400% then I guess, even if it may only help cover a tiny fraction of the real terms cuts?

He's going up from effectively paying 75% tax to 88%... He's fully entitled to increase his funding by way more than 45% but the government are keeping a larger chunk rather than increase it by a silly amount, I don't see a problem with that

As you say, it's not unreasonable for them to charge more for riskier insurance, so it's not even like cutting the riskiest x% would or should boost profits... If they think the risk has grown, raise the premium at the next renewal opportunity and their profits should be just fine even if they have to pay out

However that's an issue with the legal system rather than anything else and could also exist without capitalism - it's possible for the legal system to be dominated by any powerful entity from corporations to the state to unions depending on the political system, and if you don't have enough sway within one of those powerful entities then tough luck

Copyrights and patents
Used to collect the products of another person's labor

If you ask me it's the exact opposite... Copying someone else's work with no benefit to them removes a big driver for innovation.

This also only really applies with corporations - you could in theory have everyone be self-employed in a capitalist society

I actually thought about that and changed "enjoyed" to "usable"

Dodos were tasty and Vaquitas are cute but chickens, wheat, potatoes, rice etc. are a borderline infinite food glitch for humans compared to most food sources so they naturally get cultivated in huge numbers

The best way to never go extinct is to be usable by humans

Where are my boys þ ð ƿ and ſ at though???

I stopped going for a while to one because they put the multipack crisps on the other side of the store to the larger bags though as I thought they'd just stopped stocking them

It's all well and good rotating things around but don't put stuff in nonsensical places

1890s right?

Thing is when your system is dying and nothing is responding, you can almost always trust task manager to respond because of its privileges, simplicity and the fact it's built into the OS rather than using APIs, even if explorer.exe crashes.

Given there's no "ctrl-alt-f2: Imma go fix this mess" on Windows, having at least something you can rely on to not die is super valuable even if it is bad.

I'm not saying this tool isn't better for system monitoring (but I would like to see something like KSysGuard), just that Microsoft absolutely shouldn't touch task manager to fix whatever's wrong with it's resource usage monitoring functionality to avoid breaking something else in it

My reaction to this was "but there's obviously going to be a footbridge", followed by "wait, really?"

I guess that second thought just about sums up North American infrastructure

Depends on your device

My 5 year old laptop's screen is so dim that on bright days you fully can't see dark mode, but my phone and monitor work just fine on dark mode on all but the brightest days

But people will buy an XBox rather than a PS6/7 if they can't play CoD on the latter... It's not like people are already tied into a console 1-2 generations in the future, so this would influence what console people buy next.

With Minecraft most players play on PC and frankly taking it off Mac and Linux would make a lot of business sense for Microsoft, however as it's Java and how easily modifiable and portable Java programs are, they know people would just get it working anyway. The same does not apply for CoD, where nearly everyone plays on console, and a significant part of what console someone buys is what games they can play on it.

Regulate Sony to not be so anti-competitive then, rather than turning Microsoft into them

Taking over Activision and making CoD an exclusive down the line (I know the deal specifies not for a while, but it's clear as soon as that period is up they'll be making it an exclusive) is a negative move to combat that - it tries to combat dominance by introducing dominance

Microsoft should invest in their own exclusives to improve their own offering without affecting Sony, which would leave both in good positions, rather than taking offerings away from Sony which leaves both in mediocre positions.

Fingers crossed the CMA aren't swayed on it

If it comes to it then there's nothing stopping you adding an endpoint for that yourself...
