Also, speed.

Also the pregnant man / Bill Gates was added there :)

At least two other Croats broke the same record in the last 11 years (Goran Čolak 23:01 in 2014 and Budimir Šobat 24:37 in 2021). There must be some genetic predisposition.

> There must be some genetic predisposition.

Impossible. It's purely cultural factors, like West African runners or Jewish Nobel prize winners.

This is a claim that you can actually bet on. For example, you could have shorted Microsoft when Satya Nadella became CEO.

Yep. In Croatia it has a cult following. Similar to obscure Italian comic “Alan Ford”, and Hungarian-Israeli writer Ephraim Kishon.

Anyone still listen to Roddy Radalj and Boris Sujdovic there? ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZCuCg-UM-U )

Does not look Roman.

Hard to tell the size, but based on the tree doesn't seem all that giant either.

It looks barely 2:1 scale, IMO big but hardly giant:

The "Roman" aspect is the tradition not the style I assume.

The population of EU is roughly 450 million compared to 330 million in the US.

Yes, however due to how homogenous the US is in comparison to the EU it is a lot easier to market products there.

I definitely don't expect Apple to come to the conclusion that they should pull out of the EU, just suggesting that the US 330M population is easier to target than the EUs 450M, and that therefore the US market (rightfully) probably weighs higher than the EU.

Funny to use that homogeneity of the market as an argument here. The EU is the very institution that is working to make the market more homogeneous in Europe, and the DMA is part of that same goal.

The US is easier to target because the EU has stronger consumer protections and stronger laws against monopolies (and other forms of market distortion). The reason Apple has a harder time targeting the EU is because the US is weak, not because it's more homogeneous.

> Funny to use that homogeneity of the market as an argument here. The EU is the very institution that is working to make the market more homogeneous in Europe, and the DMA is part of that same goal.

Regardless of EU efforts, the EU can never be as homogenous of a market as the US. Even if all laws become uniform across the whole of the EU and there are no longer VAT, legal incorporation, etc. differences (probably ot happening in our lifetimes) if nothing else, any company has to translate all their content, apps, websites, etc. to the respective language(s - yes, there are countries with more than one official language, a few of them in fact) of each EU country to be able to cover the whole EU market.

I’m not sure why companies think it’s okay to not translate products in my language just because I could possibly know some other.

Money

Marketing campaigns also often reference culture, which differs heavily across the EU.

“Extra charges based on income” - does this mean that if you earn more, you pay more for electricity?

So you're now required to share your tax documents with the local utility company, and they will charge you a monthly fee just for earning more money?

No, the plan was changed to have a fixed monthly fee in addition to the cost per kWh for all, but lower income households will have a lower fixed monthly fee.

How do they distinguish those lower-income households without referring to tax documents?

I have no idea about this particular program, but similar programs already exist for other utilities, you can look at how they do it (open the "What information do I need to provide..." section): https://www.att.com/internet/access/

Previous proposals would have required everyone to provide income data to their utility which the utility would verify “somehow” (never fully articulated AFAIK)

The latest proposal (which has been accepted by the CPUC) has fixed charges applied for everyone (much lower than previously proposed fixed charges) with discounts available based on existing low-income programs ( https://www.pge.com/en/account/billing-and-assistance/financ... )

So yes in order to get the discount low-income customers need to declare income and may need to verify that income with tax documents (depending on how much fraud these program plan to tolerate) but other customers do not need to provide income information.

Yes. But put differently "if you earn less you pay less." It depends one what you call the "normal" price.

Still gives incorrect code to the following prompt - the description is correct but not the code. I have yet to find one LLM that gives the correct code. This is the prompt:

“Write C code to calculate the sum of matrix elements below the secondary diagonal.“

This feels as much likely to be a prompt problem as a 'bad answer from a model' problem.

I wouldn't know what "secondary diagonal" refers to myself, but if the model correctly describes the problem and then follows it up with incorrect code I would still say that's an issue with the model not the prompt.

NATO reporting names use common starting letters for different categories of weapons. For surface-to-surface missiles all begin with the letter S. Most of the names chosen wouldn't raise eyebrows: Sapwood, Sasin, Sibling, Stone... Some of them seem to have an appreciative "cool factor": Skyfall, Saber, Stiletto... But generally there isn't a derogatory theme to these code names. For instance, codenames for fighter jets include Foxhound, Firebird, Fencer, and Felon. Some of these are really cool names that could have been given to western jets by marketting while others seem derogatory. There's not much of a pattern here.

I've always thought the worst thing about ICBM's is the hypocrisy of the name too!

But seriously these names are pretty much random, sometimes 'cool' sometimes not, just sequential NATO designations like Falcon, Felon, etc.
