It's Fediverse and not AT protocol though. I'm curious what you find

Also, on iPhone the "Provide Feedback" button doesn't work. Nor does the "Suggest New Field Guide" but that's less relevant

Actually, I just tested and there are Wikipedia entries for the US (at least around the Grand Canyon) but I can't seem to find any for the UK

Is that not pushed out to iPhones yet?

How is that clear?
I also haven't personally said it should be impossible to do a 50 year mortgage
I shared a link that described some pros and cons, did a summary, and noted in general it doesn't have benefits
As solution to current issues, it does seem limited <- feel free to attack that

What exactly is my perspective in this comment?
Also, I don't recall mentioning buying something or being upset that I can't. What am I not buying?

Also, like I said to the other person, the suggestions in the article are not mine and ignore the complexity of supply and make it sound unimportant by only talking about it for about two words

Wealth inequality is an issue that needs improving
Supply has a lag that can't immediately be fixed
If you have rich people, whose children have left, and aren't selling their house because of a bad market then that makes the supply issue worse

The first item in "What Actually Could Improve Affordability" is "increasing supply"
Agreed the callouts focus on the next two items "improving mobility, and modernizing outdated tax incentives"

Simply swapping the words in your question doesn't void the underlying maths describing the situation.
It doesn't even sound smart to anyone that bothered to read the link.

I'm not going to argue a 30 year loan is ideal for all. Nor that a 50 year loan is bad for all.
But the article described both loans and that there is a higher affordability improvement from 15 -> 30 than 30 -> 50 and that debt increases.

No, there was no argument, there was a description of a situation.
The shape of this chart doesn't change.
- A 15 year loan has unaffordable repayments for most.
- A 50 year loan has low equity at current resale (~12 years).
- A 30 year loan is improved for both.

Isn't that the same impressiveness that got handwriting recognition and autocomplete? I agree it was impressive then, and that it's progressed. I just think being vague with "intelligence" is doing some heavy lifting here and it's masked by some anthropomorphic elements

@cilantroperfume.bsky.social , it seems like you might also be one of the named contributors for Flyover Country. Do you have an answer to the above?

I think theres also something there where most people have a good intuition for not taking a machines test scores that assess basic arithmetic or reaction speed and generalising like you kind of can with a human. I think we're still learning what doesn't generalise well for LLMs

Its not impossible for the training to result in close to for Test X, Question Y give Answer Z if the answer key is part of the training data and I don't think the statement accounts for that. It presumes the LLM input is suitably different

Not my point. They're pretty black box and open to interpretation. Humans have been bad at missing things like machines learning the metadata they didn't intend. Intelligence tests for humans have issues for humans, but other issues for machines
