Yes, exactly this. I have had this for a while and works wonderfully well in most cases but it’s wonky and not seamless. I wanted a more integrated approach with Photos app which only Apple can bring to the table.

Was there anything about searching through our own photos using prompts? I thought this could be pretty amazing and still a natural way to find very specific photos in one’s own photo gallery.

Yeah it was confusing. Idea is to press first and the last number of the equation as far as I have understood. UX is wonky but I love such math challenges so it’s all cool.

Moderators can turn archiving on or off in subreddit settings. That dictates whether someone can comment or not comment on posts older than six months.

Some of those “hackers” are twelve years olds, so earning money may not be the most important thing for them.

Great example. Similar design patterns result in similar user experiences irrespective of platform. Who would have thunk?

You sound burnt out? Why not take a brief sabbatical and see if you still feel the same after? Since you felt passionate about what you were doing earlier but that took a hit because of that employee, and that still remains an unfinished business, that passion may come back to you.

Exactly. I still find noses and ears to be such noticeable protrusions once I let go of my knowledge of human faces.

When I played it some three years back, one needed to find usually some oxygen plants and caves for oxygen refills. I bet core play still remains the same. It really isn’t that hard tbh.

> One could argue a common characteristic of the above exams is that they each test memory, and, as such, one could argue that GPT-4's above-average performance is not necessarily evidence of "reasoning". That is, GPT-4 has no "understanding" but it has formidable reading speed and retention (memory).

I don’t think they will make this argument since it will heavily negate their (expected) argument that they’re not open-sourcing the model because of safety concerns.

Isn’t addiction an “excessive” form of any craving? If it can be curbed at a craving stage, why should it still be called addiction?

As much as I deride any kind of awards except classic gold, I think this was one of their better decisions all things considered.

Thing is not many were buying expensive awards when smaller much much cheaper awards were available at their disposal. They perhaps found from their research that giving so much choice to users was working against them in this case and took this decision.
