Improvement in what way and over what previous phone? The parent mentioned a number of metrics.

That’s not true. You can swipe up from the bottom, just as you described. That brings up the app switcher. Or you swipe along the bottom in a straight line (no arc, no corner) to g…

Yep, trash.

An essay is a good gauge of how one can organise their thoughts, argue a position, respond to a stimulus. In short it’s a good way measure thinking.

> essay writing is no longer a viable form of assessment. Of course it is. In person, with an unseen prompt/question. By hand or not doesn’t really matter as we can airgap or just …

I'm an English teacher - I'll be sharing carefulwords with my students and faculty. Thank you, it's bloody great.

I agree until your last sentence. Pubs closing can be devastating. Pubs are often the centre of a community, especially small ones. Not even small towns . Traditionally they have b…

I spent 30 seconds and the first word that came to mind was drivel. As an English teacher this shit makes me hate LLMs even more. Like so much techbro nonsense, it completely ignor…

Good point, you did ask in good faith for an explanation and just fired off a quick comment that didn’t serve to further the discussion!

Not danger as in being kidnapped by government agents, danger in terms of being denied a job or insurance or anything else. Your comment is extraordinarily naive.

Good point. Music is much more personal, perhaps?

He was successful at Air NZ from memory. But they're completely different jobs. For example, he cut services and jobs which helped increase profits. Not uncommon for an airline. Th…

New Zealand isn’t on that list, but two parties generally take 70-80% of the vote. Last election (~65%) was an outlier due to the two leaders being pretty unpopular. However, NZ ha…

I’ve lived here 15 years and seen two snakes, zero deadly spiders, zero crocs. Yes, I’m on the city fringe. Like millions of others here.

> every single child here in Australia is learning on a school issued Chrome Book Many? Most? Possibly, but absolutely not every single one.

That's only partially true for me. Recommendations? Not at all. Subscriptions less and less. I can think of two that I regularly watch, and even those I'll just binge their most re…

Whoops, I didn't see parent comment and thought the reply was to the submission. It seemed massively out of context but absolutely wasn't :-) Curse HackerNews' narrow indents!

Oh! I've long struggled with the narrow indents on Hacker News comments. I thought this was a reply to OP. Thank you.

What does autism have to do with it?

"beat of a different drummer." I really want to check if it's drum or drummer, but will refrain and live in hope that it was a clever joke
