I don't disagree you should improve your skills. but I don't think your app is optimized for that.

But, ok you're the gamemaker, then well done building something, and I hope people enjoy it.

For me, an analogue watch is good for giving you an extremely glance-able approximate time. And potentially as exquisite mechanical jewellery. If you need to know the really exact time to the second and want to be able to tell it quickly, you might be better with a digital watch, especially vs a mechanical watch where a mickey-mouse digital is more accurate than even a COSC mechanical.

But my initial point is that your game is not so much about recognizing the time, even the exact time, but about entering it into the keypad.

Maybe add a multiple-choice mode - show the analogue clocks, pick the digital match.

We've got used to 'reasonable' society and politics in the last few centuries, but check out politics in developing nations or dictatorships, or woke, or Trump or places like pageantry. All fake news and gossip and performance, and AI just makes this potentially much much worse.

It already has a name in academia I think, post-truth, or post-reality or whatever, I think it all started with the French post-modernism thing, then critical theory, etc.

But I'm not sure it's a post- 'advance' at all, but more like a rejection of the enlightenment and a return to the tribal village.

Then just show them the watch, or look at your phone or whatever.

How often do you need the exact time, and don't have a means to get it, like in tv broadcasting etc?

lol, this completely misses the point of analogue watches or clocks.

It should be called 'keypad data entry game' instead.

The point of an analogue clock is that it gives you an instant sense of the rough time at a glance. I can immediately see it's 'about half past' or 'only a few minutes left until the meeting at 11' or whatever.

Semple's humorous long-form performance art, pillorying Kapoor, while developing a menagerie of new pigments, is much more interesting than Kapoor's sculptures.

Anyone could have made at least the same with the given material, and a more talented artist could stun, but sadly they are not allowed to because contract.

It actually does work for a whole range of things.

Is it a panacea? Of course not, but it is potentially a sustainable business.

Except - open models are barely months away from the same performance and there is no moat, so we will see commodity pricing, and the billions being heaped on the fire currently will probably not see a return, unless someone comes up with a genius trading bot perhaps.

The whole idea of a 'sovereign' data center is that it is under your control and jurisdiction, and you can protect it.

Iceland is not an EU member, and is remote. What happens if Trump decides Iceland should be a US state?

The first example only tells me that the energy is dependent on your frame of reference, since the collision seen from the train appears to have more energy than the head-on collision, simply due to the moving viewpoint, whereas they must be the same.

Surely the roots, if we skip over the early preceptron work', are in backpropagation and Hinton, and the work going on at Edinburgh and elsewhere in the 80s.

Indeed I remember buying a set of three conference-papers-as-books around that time, titled Artificial Neural Networks .. proceedings of the whatever the conference was.

No doubt Schmidhuber made important contributions, but I see him pop up claiming to be the 'root' of it all every couple of years.

I think the rule applies to far more than apartments.

But also, there are no ants. Everything is made of table-cloth.

We should be teaching people to be cynical of AI answers.

Even if the answers are correct, they could still be biased, incomplete, misleading, and all the other media-literacy things people should be looking out for.

This ruling seems to go the opposite direction; 'I am legally obliged to give correct answers, so I am always right, trust the AI'.

It is a leadership role though.

I don't know how many staff there are, but it's surely one of EH's most important locations.

I agree, the table-cloth is rubber.

IMHO, as an analogy, matter is not 'a bowling-ball on a mattress', but more like a scrunched-up section of table-cloth. Tiny knots or whirlpools of space-time/quantum fields, different particles are different topologies of knot, albeit the nature of space-time is unclear and it may well be a projection.

This seems like a similar argument to the Chinese Room.

There is certainly something missing from current models before we could call them conscious.

They need to operate continuously, and self-update while doing it, have 'awareness', and possibly a more realistic grounding than mere text tokens.

But that does not mean there isn't a weak version of 'consciousness', and certainly of 'thinking' going on fleetingly with each pass.

There's always something with apple, from the breaking keyboards, scratched screens, antenna-gate, cracking gpu solder, ...

The comparison itself seems moot, comparing a consumer-grade consumable device built out of a phone, to a more sustainable, modular, upgrade-able device.

Surely this comes under defamation law or something similar, as if they photoshopped the girl's heads onto porn photos.
