One that's impossible to reproduce without all the little quirks of Word.
It's like reverting back to the Internet Explorer era, when every page was subtly broken.

2. On the next launch we send the Boeing board members instead of astronauts.
1% failure rate?
Those are not good odds.

This game asks you to make painful choices. Amazon AI determined that it would be 5 stars if that wasn't the case.
Meanwhile, at boardgamegeek: 3.89 / 5 complixity rating.

If it's a trick like inverse square root, it's neat but we can't extent it further.
Like you said, getting random improvement is useful but unpredictable.
If it's more generalized, it can open new avenues of research and ultimately make us smarter.
Because it's a waste if AI only makes us dumb and dumber.

So the new code is faster.
Do we understand how it became faster, what insight we missed. That more interesting from my point of view.

Natural ozone concentration is 10-15 ppb throughout the atmosphere, but low ground pollution around 70 ppb is unhealthy.

That story is a little like removing DHMO from the atmosphere to empty pools and reduce drownings.

That's weird, the office is a 20min drive and almost everything else is a 10min walk.

Yep, the second sentence couldn't be more confusing.
> So a single "lunar day" is 13.64 earth days.
Lunar day (daytime only) vs earth day (24h, which includes nighttime).
