- Comment on GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that’s not the worst of it. 1 day ago:
This particular model was advertised as being able to use tools, like calculators. And it includes a calculator tool in the package.
So, it should in theory, not have the probabilistic limitations of its native algorithms.
However, there are still the limitations created by multiple posts, where the model will change its answer in relation to previous inputs by users. This may have become even worse in model 5 because it supposedly remembers pervious conversations.

Australians will soon be subjected to mandatory age checks across the internet landscape, in what has been described as a huge and unprecedented change.

- Comment on In the olden days, when people got married a lot younger, there were probably lots of grandparents in their thirties 1 week ago:
The average age of a groom in Britain in the 19th century was 27.
Men were generally unable to marry until they had obtained property.
And the average age was higher than the 20th century as well, because of the high infant mortality rate, it wasn’t a “society of young people” at all.

- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 2 months ago:
The 5th amendment only applies before arrest and during court. You still have the right to silence after arrest, that is a common law right.
Salinas volunteered to go to the police station (he wasn’t arrested), so he had no common law right to silence.
- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 2 months ago:
Where I live you’re prohibited from having a lawyer after being charged before the indictment is written. And a lawyer can be charged with conspiracy fi they fail to disclose all that you said to them to the police before you are arrested.

It wasn’t Calvin it was Luther. And he was quoting Saint Augustine.
Calvin said that although the righteous were selected and so charity would not gain brownie points to heaven, the selected would do charitable works because they were the select.
Martin Luther just opposed all charity.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 2 months ago:
curbsideclassic.com/…/automotive-history-wilcot-f…
The Wilcot solution was adopted by Morris for the 1933 range, except the cheapest car in the range, the Minor. In essence, on either side of the car, was a block of three lights looking very like a traffic light with red, amber and green elements. The idea was that the colour or combination of the colours, showing on one or both sides would guide adjacent traffic of the intentions of the Morris.
Combinations were more complex, inevitably, than just flashing orange lights. Ahead of a need to indicate, the driver would activate the system which would start with both left and right amber lights flashing, like modern hazard warning lights, meaning “Caution”, ahead of an indication being given.
The system was controlled by a knob inside the car, with a spring based plunger acting as a time control for any selection. To indicate turning right, the driver would then request the system to show red on the right and green on the left in a way that almost echoes nautical practice; bearing right was amber on the right and green on the left.

Morris threw a tantrum after the MoT approved the use of blinkers on rival Ford cars and vowed never to install them. The MoT ordered the Wicot “traffic robots” removed and so Lucas trafficators were used exclusively in the UK until Morris was sold to Pressed Metal Holdings in the 1950s (in Australia and Canada blinkers were required by law).
- Comment on YSK that after leaving power, Margaret Thatcher became a lobbyist for tobacco companies 2 months ago:
It was basically a bribe because she’d already lost her marbles by then, so she couldn’t do any actual lobbying.
