Glad I'm not alone in thinking Flash 3 was like Composer 1 in speed but smarter

At my place nobody reads my descriptions because nobody writes them so they assume there isn't one!

I think part of that in Britain is because we live in towns. In a small town there's always a shop or pub or restaurant to work in and kids can walk or cycle to work. Same in NL. Because so much of America lives in pure residential suburbs, the opportunities aren't there.

Accurate. Oddly enough on this side of the pond most people who would not want to raise their kids in the US would mention school shootings. The real, ubiquitous, daily danger is massive cars and lazy drivers.

Just because you have even bigger problems in the US, that does not mean that is isn’t cause for concern to be the school shooting capital of the world by an enormous margin.

The US have more school shootings than the rest of the world combined. It is not unfounded or irrational to be concerned.

I live in Britain. If you read back you'll see I am talking about the opinions of Britons and Europeans of raising children in the US.

My point is it still a very rare thing even in the most common place in the world. The weight of school shootings in people's minds is more emotional than statistical. Careless drivers kill way more people in the US and they do it every day.

Gun related deaths and homicide are big enough risk factors to be worth worrying about and mitigating as a parent, but school shootings in particular are so rare they are not a major safety concern for parents- gun accidents and homicide outside of school are much much bigger risks.

As an aside, firearms are the leading cause of deaths for kids in the US:

I don't think it's particularly useful to focus on school shootings in particular vs other shootings

> It is not unfounded or irrational to be concerned.

I ran the numbers upon having kids. It is irrational.

And that's with all the foreign student bonanza money. My inlaws live in Notts and all they see getting built is student blocks. Imagine what'll happen when the next government drastically limits student visas.

That naming deal renewal was one of the most bungled deals in history. FIFA wanted $1bn to renew for four years and to make it nonexclusive, EA told them to get fucked, now FIFA gets $0 and their name isn't even on the game.

I only heard about the naming dispute recently but it happened a couple years ago. Not having FIFA on the name only makes me want to buy it more.

If only EA wasn't on the name either.

Google Antigravity is a buggy mess at the moment, but I believe it will eventually eat Cursor as well. The £20/mo tier currentluy has the highest usage limits on the market, including Google models and Sonnet and Opus 4.5.

It's not in Google's style, but they need a codex-like fine-tune. I don't think they have ever released fine-tunes like that though.

The model is very hard to work with as is.

If the model is better in that it resolves the task with fewer iterations then the i/o token pricing may be a wash or lower.

Agreed, every update of a stable consumer product is a risk that it might just go completely sideways

I've had the same Shield for about 8 years and it's still going strong, has all the hardware decoding I need

Even on the OG hardware, I'm able to use 4K in h.265 or AV1 without issue, it does get hot though.
