I’ve been coding long enough that I still think of that as a fairly new thing in JS.

I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is “what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?”

1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
1/2 = 1/3 + 1/6
a half is one sixth more than a third.

btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I’d missed a word from the question (reading comprehension’s clearly not my strong point today)

Ah, you’re right - I misunderstood jbrain’s point to just be about the “relative to the original” understanding. Guess I’m no smarter than Google’s AI.

The ExplainXKCD is great:

In truth, no such spoon is present on the probe, and Europa’s icy crust is too thick to be penetrated by a spoon of such size.

The author is either being very tongue-in-cheek or very literal and humourless and I’m enjoying it both ways.

Yes, and the Google AI response is correct (and quite clear) in what it says. edit: Thanks Batman. I mean that Google’s understanding of the question is logical (although still the maths is wrong as you say (now I’ve re-read you)) and its answer explained the angle it was answering from.

However, I think the reasonable assumption for the intention behind the question is relative to a whole. I had third of a pizza, and now I have an extra sixth of a pizza. It’s subtle, but that’s the kind of thing AI falls down on.

If programming.dev is down, it’s helpful to be able to see @meta@programming.dev from other instances and check for planned downtime, etc.

Google’s AI seems dumber than the rest, for example here’s Kagi answering the same (using Claude):

edit: typoed question originally

Perhaps Google’s tried to make it run too cheaply - Kagi’s one doesn’t run unless you ask for it, and as a paid product it’ll have different priorities.

I’m more surprised that trapeziums aren’t related to triangles.

I thought he’d cloned them when I was reading, but you’re right, they’re all different.

While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?

Vulnerable: VHD PTZ camera firmware < 6.3.40 used in PTZOptics, Multicam Systems SAS, and SMTAV Corporation devices based on Hisilicon Hi3516A V600 SoC V60, V61, and V63

It looks like they’re using AI correctly: to identify patterns in huge amounts of data.

I think they’d struggle to mention their own name more often in that article.

I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

Greg thinks that Rosie has low self esteem? That is absolutely not the impression I get from her.

It’s been so long that I forgot about the hotdog.

I’m amazed how quickly the detective figured out the trick, and with the quotable logic of “He’s Andy Zaltzman, he knows what velvet is!”

I’m kinda disappointed that Greg chickened out of double deductions: -3 × 2 = -6 as we learnt in primary school.

Hot sauce avoidance was genius, although I don’t believe he actually knew the rules allowed it. On the other hand, Andy very was confident on that subject. yeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEES he was.

Andy’s technique of throw high (and so land vertically) was my first thought.

I’ve had salted egg yolk crisps and they are indeed really good. I want to try oyster and vinegar - I love vegetables in oyster sauce.

Pairing is an idea that’s kinda obvious in hindsight but I’d never heard of it before.

I thought Rosie’s solution to the fish dots was genius, although the pen was obviously superior. Andy definitely got Greg with the fisherman line, you can see his look of fascination until he realises it was just a joke. In fact, Andy’s studio lines were stupendous all episode and I was happy to see him win.

I liked “You dotted the rim” as a possible episode title - do they ever use lines from Greg or Alex or is it always contestants’ lines?

Alex’s joy and glee when it turned out that Jack’s only attempt netted the worse possible fish was beautiful to see.

Mr Poo was more disgusting than I was expecting. The voice combined with the Nutella (I assume) was too visceral.

It was weird how the studio guest would nod as he said no.

I think there’s a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

sweet stop

I think you mean sweet spot. Now I’m wondering if it’s a typo or an eggcorn.

This was a great episode.

I loved the unnecessary snooker costume, and the unnoticed joke about getting into the right frame of mind.

I had to listen again to hear “your mum’s just like…” as “your mum’s a slag”, but now I can switch, like those pictures that you can see both ways.

I couldn’t get enough of the robot’s giggles. And Jack’s glee when the robot pointed at its bum when asked to find the plug.

In the smelly task I was thinking that being sealed up might stop some of the things from reaching maximum stink as the organisms would run out of oxygen. Jack was smart to use the concentrated liquid and not go for a foul smell (although Greg still described it as unpleasant). Andy’s looked gross and I loved him trying to play it cool while contestants metres away were backing away from the smell. What is a goblin fart?

That was pretty unreal to watch. So little drama, it was like it was a render.

It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).
