Working on boring accounts software.

I don't even try to read newspaper sites, I just look at the Archive Today version.

I'm sure the UK government (which is against VPNs because they help people circumvent their Online Safety Act) will love them.

What does it mean when it surrounds a word in red? Is this signalling an error?

> and that may exhibit adaptiveness after deployment

So if an AI can't change its weights after deployment, it's not really an AI? That doesn't make sense.

As for the other criteria, they're so vague I think a thermostat might apply.

> strongly suggestive that they have been trained on copyrighted materials

Given that everything -- including this comment -- is copyrighted unless it is (1) old or (2) deliberately put into the public domain, this is almost certainly true.

Putin. It solves the problem of Putin.

EU countries are not required to join the Euro.

They are required to say they will at some unspecified future date, but that's another matter.

> high-quality modern UI

I do think that some UIs are more complex than they need to be.

> Creating websites and apps is simply too complex

And the solution, of course, is a framework on top of a framework on top of JS and the DOM. OK, maybe I'm being too harsh.

This includes some railways but not others. For example the Edinburgh tram is missing.

Is it intentional that the 3D plan image doesn't show the positions of doors and windows? They seem kinda important to me.

I still can't get the "Walk" mode to work. (Firefox 129.0 on Ubuntu 22.04)

You need to count from 0.

1 BC should be renamed year 0. Then the years 0-99 are the 0th century, the years 1900-1999 are the 19th century, etc.

To avoid confusion between new style and old style centuries, create a new word, "centan", meaning "100 years" and use cardinal instead of ordinal numbers, for conciseness. Then the years 1900-1999 are the 19-centan.

Imagine Ladybird is developed and is successful. Lots of people use it to read websites.

But then Badcorp takes the code and builds their own varient with extensions. Badcorp is big and has lots of market share. Lots of people use Badcorps's browser, and because lots of people are using it, lots of web developers code for it, including coding for its extensions.

Soon, lots of websites -- including Badcorp's own websites, and they have lots of popular ones -- use the extensions in the Badcorp browser.

Then people still using Ladybird can't use it for most websites. They have lost something.
