I assumed it was vandalism, not insurance fraud. I guess it’s easier to get away with slashing tyres looking like a human than as a dubious bear.

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.

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?

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

Telescopes don’t allow you to hear sound from space though…

I wondered if they meant that you couldn’t help but imagine the sound when seeing it - I don’t know if there’s a word for that (or where to ask on Lemmy).

audibly blinking

Huh?

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.

Sounds great. I tried bourbon in an amaretto sour (a godfather sour?) last night, although the recipe I used still asked for a decent amount of syrup so I think it brought it back to a usual sweetness.

sweet stop

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

Why is a judge allowed to compete?

I see! Great work, along with plenty of others in your post history.

Is this unedited, or did you bring out that contrast in post?

btw, it’s a rite of passage.

This is an amazing shot. Do you have any more information, like the artist?
