It's not like England in that respect at all. Yes, there is a mix of usage in the UK but it is very limited. People use metric for everything except miles in cars, pints in pubs, and height and weight of people.

It can answer my favourite riddle for LLMs: "Anna, Becca and Clare go to the play park. There is nobody else there. Anna is playing on the see-saw, Becca is playing on the swings. What is Clare doing?" (Sometimes I ask similar que

The knee-jerk dismissal of all AI features is as bad as the pointless addition of AI features. Some AI features are pointless, some AI features are useful. Segmenting, generative fill, object removal, AI scaling are all examples of really u

I'm convinced the best haptics that I use every day are the "clicks" on the Macbook trackpad. You can only tell they're not real because they don't work when it's beachballing.

That's KS2 material, so 7-11 year olds. They don't cover the Holocaust until they're older. Here's an example of KS3 material about the Holocaust. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zt48dp3

There were US citizens and businesses in Ukraine last time. Russia will just go around them like they did then. Having some US businesses will provide zero protection.

No of course I don't. Russia will certainly try again. Ukraine is absolutely right to not want to do this! I'm just pointing out what Trump's motivation is.

Trump just wants the war to end. Ukraine doesn't want to surrender a chunk of its territory under bad terms, so they won't make a deal. Putin is more than happy to take a deal that means they win. Trump thinks that if he weakens U

If they succeed in Ukraine then they are free to re-arm. Meanwhile Trump has made it clear that article 5 is worthless, so the Baltics are there for the taking. As much as I'd like to say they can rely on the rest of NATO, I'm rea

A week ago Trump killed the western alliance when he made it clear that allies could not rely on the US. This week he has killed the US weapons export business. Not a single country will trust them now. It would be quite an interesting thin

Those mostly aren't counter-examples though. In most cases they supported them long after most people had stopped using them. Google is notorious for killing popular products.

The UK needs to do both. It needs to allow denser development, but that isn't enough. It is also possible to expand the green belt without causing suburban sprawl.
