Fair enough, thanks for calling me out. I'm glad it's not as bad as I thought. The article title threw me off as well.

January 2018 for the UK, wild that the US is so behind that even California is only just getting to it.

It makes sense, but what would be even more valuable for real estate is if we gave up on crampt open plan offices and give people some space 😅

It amazes me that leaders don't get this. My office is filled with separate one-sided calls and it's unbearable. Furthermore I've not been in a meeting without Silicon Valley listening in in at least 5 years.

I think it is a pelvis on the left as others have said. I have to admit though I thought I was looking at two skulls, probably because I was biased to look from left to right so I just accepted the left one as a skull and then the right skull actually looks like a skull. My first thought though was that it was an abstract depiction of overcrowding, so it was intentional to show two skeletons pushed close together.

Couldn't agree more - there are some wonderful insights to gain from seeing your own kids grow up, but I don't think this is one of them.

Kids are certainly building a vocabulary and learning about the world, but LLMs don't learn.

Yeah it's not exactly going to be WCAG AAA either.

Oh sorry, I'm not denying that at all. I was only drawing on the comparison of Gmail being pretty ubiquitous like WhatsApp is.

My guess is that in some form they track contacts and link clicks. I genuinely don't think they're reading messages, but I think they do know eg that Bob is someone that likes to send people links and that there are 5 people that always open those links. So they may have directed model of linked topics between people.

Even if this isn't true though, owning WhatsApp probably gives Meta a lot of culture impact in a similar way to Google and Gmail. The fact that they could create their Meta AI model and put it in front of like a billion people overnight won't be lost on shareholders.

Not American and maybe I'm just OOTL but this confuses me as well... I'm aware of a peaceful protest against the mass deportations, but what else? Why do they need armed soldiers??

I know my job!

Only opened the comments to check someone had covered this, thanks!

Oh interesting, I had Dishonored on PC and didn't remember it being so bad. And I know what you mean, the controls feel so off beat though it's hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. Some kind of acceleration/mapping function thing. I like to use motion controls for ADS as well and those were very sensitive.

I had it on PlayStation a while back. Really enjoyed so much about it, but ultimately found the controls on console to just be unbearable.

Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko.

It's rose-tinted glasses in play as well. I have many fond memories of my university days and deeply miss all the time I had with my friends that I now rarely see. I would encourage any student to cherish that aspect. There were many, many, difficult aspects of that time as well though, and a decade or so on I deeply appreciate the autonomy I have now.

It's a good reason for us to use base 10, but in the past many people have not used base 10. However, the bases a society use often are somehow tied to something about the body. As an example (haven't looked it up for a while, sorry), I think there is/was a group that used base 8, and counted on the gaps between their fingers.

It was really unfortunate. I think sadly the torchbearers probably felt pretty locked in and just followed through. Perhaps they assumed the doves would fly away. Regardless I believe that real doves stopped being used shortly after this ceremony!

Reminds me of the South Korea 1988 Olympics open. Human traditions are cosmic horrors for birds.

Farrow & Ball go further by just calling their salmon paint colour "Dead Salmon".
