the navy was at the forefront of early computers during the war, mainly as a way to try to speed up turret rangekeepers and AA gun directors coming up with firing solutions

This is a normal post fun
but i'm not sure how fair it is to suggest that creativity can, or ever should, be assessed with a tricksy vocab test. my daughter is way more creative than me, but i'd beat her at this game every time.
it comes off like a pretentious interview question at a consultancy firm, to me.

This is a normal post I think the difficulty is clearly defining what creativity is, objectively.
The test probably does test some small, narrow, facet of creativity, what that means in wider terms is another thing entirely.

This is a normal post yes, it's this false idea that coming up with odd associations is a big part of creativity, like "hamster bingo"

This is a normal post not sure about its algorithm
"fish" is 73% different from "therefore", is it?
I'd like to see which categories they're in together. "similar contexts" would suggest a certain amount of subjectivity in the rules.
Got a 92.29 but it doesn't seem to be out of 100 as "conditional" and "stole" are 104 apart on their matrix
And I don't think it's measuring creativity, more one's knowledge of lexicographic categories, making sure you have just one from each with sufficiently different subject areas and tenses

This is a normal post never said it was. I expected an even higher rating as they are quite different words
but it seems it's a simple measure of word frequency juxtaposition in sentences rather than any measure of intrinsic difference or creativity, and being lazy academics they probably pointed their compiler and some journal database, hence therefore and fish appearing together more often than you might expect

This is a normal post I think it's a bit early to tell on hospital admission. The surge in cases has only come in the last week, rising exponentially from a falling base of 300 to 10,000 yesterday
the experience of other surges in cases like the recent sydney outbreak is that there is delay of a week to 10 days before hospital and then ICU admissions rise. covid has a median asymptomatic phase of 5 days. I'd give it another week before you could claim the vaccines are preventing admissions to this subjective point where it's acceptable to most. I hope youre right. However higher vaccination rates were hoped to also significantly reduce transmission and infection rates, and they don't seem to be doing that which is worrying and the cause for their government's alarm. It's rising very fast, infecting the vaccinated and even previous covid victims with the new variant.

This is a normal post Here are a few reasons why it might be a problem

I've also not seen data on how vaccination reduces the incidence of long covid - based on people I know who have it, it's not something I'd risk if I could possibly help it.

This is a normal post Long Covid is pretty horrible
Plenty of people get long symptoms without needing hospital.

Massive future burden on the NHS.

This is a normal post I wouldn't be pronouncing on this subject with anything like the confidence you see from others online
And I've been working in healthcare for over three decades.

Still, y'all carry on

This is a normal post I suspect it is more a political stance than medical.
Too many facts spoil a clear assertion.

This is a normal post It would be a good reason
Why the govt. is shifting mask wearing from compulsory to being personal choice so they can deny responsibly when it goes pear-shaped.
I notice that their wording that the vaccine has "severed" the link between cases and hospitalisation/deaths has suddenly changed to "weakened".

This is a normal post Thank you for that : nice to see a PM owning a mistake...
