  • Wow, either you are much more skilled than anyone I know at these tasks, and/or you work in a very different way. I tried for two weeks to figure out how to get something useful out of it, but got only garbage.

    It was very good at generic text, much less so at concise, insightful, technical, or argumentative text, which is most of what I sell.

  • Other than blog and copy generation, what are you using it for?

    I find most AI I have access to either bloats text too much, or is just too wrong to actually save me time. I work in a technical field however, so might have higher requirements than others.

  • Werewolves, vampires, baba yaga, fae, bean sidhe, vättar, tomtar, will o the wisp, trolls, Näcken, sylphs, undines, changelings, sirens, cyclops, gorgons, demon boars galore, and loads more local legends

  • Cats don't fight to take anyone down, they mostly fight to scare eachother off, as they are so fragile as beings, both in attack and defence

    Might be that they just transfer that to anything they want to get rid of.

    Had my elderly, whole life indoors cat stare down a British Mastiff (130 kg dog, bred for guard duty), and consequently train it what surfaces she was allowed on and not.

  • There's a lot of propaganda coming all directions, as parties are interested in taking control of the narrative.

    There are still a lot of candidate explanations, but tensions in Russia are high enough that the truth might not matter.

    Putin has done similar things against Russia, there's currently an armed insurgency going in Russia with independent groups acting, Russian civil discontent after the fake elections and increasing tolls of war is high and fresh.

    Ukraine hasn't done anything like this previously and has gone to great lengths to minimise civilian casualties, but have also had some rogue plans/actors.

    It could be Israel trying to keep eyes off of their conflict, they've shown to care little for the lives of non-citizens.

    It could be a big brain play by a western state trying to provoke NATO involvement, or clumsily fan unrest.

    It could also be unconnected to the war with IS/China/post-soviet states stirring trouble for their own gains.

    We don't know yet, but Russia wants to pin it on Ukraine no matter who did it. Ukraine needs it not to be state affiliated, and so must deny.

  • I don't know where you're at, but around here there are stores with refurbished phones, where you can play with last year's models, and buy them at low-mid range prices. Sometimes they have 2-3 year old phones at a steal, some of the online ones have generous return policies as well, where you can try it for a bit and then send it back.

  • I've had Samsung androids for over a decade, and they've had smoother animation and less loading lag since about iPhone 4 (which I've used for work in the same period). They've also had comparable feedback on presses.

    Then again, the HTC androids I've tried occasionally have been real bad, so I get the question.

    You shouldn't have to rely on the words of Internet random though, go try one out.

  • Thank you for providing sources.

    I'm still not clear how your data supports "having issues pre-2020, your data only shows a 2008 dip, which we've explained as a one-off event that UK recovered from before the dip 2020. There's no Brexit dip, which seems suspect, but I'm unwilling to trawl through raw data sources and so will cede that maybe it didn't dip in 2014.

    Then we still have the 2019-2020 dip, which coincides with Covid and Hard Brexit. Covid effects aren't expected until 2020, whereas Brexit ones would be felt 2019. Even if we disagree about why, I see no no indication at all in your data, that there were problems pre-2020, no significant dip in neither GDP nor productivity. So where does your conclusion come from?

  • Please provide a source.

    According to Worldbank GDP/capita increased from '94-07, dove with the financial crisis, rose again until 2014, and then dove with Brexit, then dove with Covid/hard Brexit. Almost recovered 21, but is currently trending slightly downward, probably hobbled by war making recovery efforts difficult.

    Brexit seems to have set the economy back about 5-6 years of growth, and is also dampening new growth (making recovery slower).

    The data does not support your conclusion.
