  • Tesco trials giant trolley scales in Gateshead

    Jump

  • But this is literally how supermarkets provided cheaper prices than the local shops we all used to have. Customers swallow the external costs of last-mile transportation by driving to the business's warehouse. They swallow the costs of service staff by serving themselves. You're just describing their whole business model which, let's not forget, we as a nation gleefully latched onto when it became available, forcing local grocers to close.

  • Trump’s Plan to Repeal Climate Policy Could Upend Shift to Electric Cars

    Jump

  • Well, yes. He works for the oil industry

  • Retro tech: Using the PSION Series 5 in 2023

    Jump

  • Psions were amazing. I had a Psion 3 in the 90s. That thing fell out of my pocket when I was cycling and a van drove over it - still worked fine. I'd like to see an iPhone manage that

  • This woman needs a psychological examination

  • Wouldn't need to work so hard if you weren't making massive car payments

  • The Turing Test, enshrined by the public and media as THE test of machine intelligence, really isn't.

    Jump

  • I can't remember who said this, but somebody said the version of the Turing Test as we all remember it is ridiculous: It's basically saying that the test of intelligence is "Can a chatbot fool one idiot?"

  • It’s remarkably easy to inject new medical misinformation into LLMs

    Jump

  • We did curation of existing knowledge for years, in the form of textbooks and reference works. This is just people thinking they can get the same benefits without the expense, and it'll come crashing down soon enough when people see that you need to handle concepts, not just surface words with a superficial autocomplete

  • Trump Won’t Rule Out Military Taking Greenland, Panama Canal

    Jump

  • I think Greenland is part of Denmark, which is a member state

  • Threads has started limiting reach for posts about climate

    Jump

  • She normalised her numbers based on the number of followers she had on each platforms, so should have adjusted for this

  • This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats

    Jump

  • This ticket is odd by UK standards, and the arrangement you describe isn't the norm. These seat reservation tickets normally specify a particular seat

  • Look out, Britain! I am officially ready to colonize you back!

    Jump

  • Welcome! Don't forget to wipe your feet in the way in

  • The Oil Industry Is Helping to Spread Misinfo About Whale Deaths

    Jump

  • I believe the claim was that the vibrations of the turbines cause problems for the whales

  • US Voters Support Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Extraction

    Jump

  • They absolutely do not support this in any meaningful way. Try telling them they have to get rid of their car and stop flying, and that in the meantime gas prices will shoot upwards, and then let's see how much they actually support this. They just said they supported it in a poll either because they thought that's what they were meant to say, or because they didn't understand the implications of what they were agreeing to

  • UK could loosen EV rules to allow sales of Prius-style hybrids until 2035 | Ban on new petrol and diesel cars starts in 2030 but government may change rules for some models

    Jump

  • Just to be clear, this is capitulation to a car industry that failed to modernise fast enough and now is crying out for protection from Chinese competition while they belatedly get on with some R&D

  • Effects of exposure to outdoor light at night on blood lipids in China: a nationwide cross-sectional study

    Jump

  • If you read the paper, they're building on existing work that shows night-time light affects the metabolism

  • Smoking ban introduced to protect children and most vulnerable

    Jump

  • Smoking ban introduced to protect children and most vulnerable

    Jump

  • If they really cared about children and the most vulnerable they'd be taking much firmer action about car pollution, especially near schools and hospitals

  • Is there an Ubuntu variant these days that works on 32-bit?

    Jump

  • Thanks!

  • Is there an Ubuntu variant these days that works on 32-bit?

    Jump

  • Thank you - that's a really useful answer. I'll check them out

  • Is there an Ubuntu variant these days that works on 32-bit?

    Jump

  • Thank you - I'll have a look at that
