interesting.
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

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.

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.

yes, it's this false idea that coming up with odd associations is a big part of creativity, like "hamster bingo"
when a large part of creativity is coming up with something that fits the best in context. give me Miles Davis over Ornette Coleman any day

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

Boot I want to know what you meant, Thu 15 Jul 2021, 10:24,

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

Then I tried again going for a low score. I used “cat, dog, walk, talk, eat, fish, bone” and got 63.48. It appears to have allowed a verb into that selection. I’m highly dubious this proves anything, but it was a pleasant enough three minute diversion.

A journalist friend of mine said that it can take more skill to write for the tabloid press
- compared to writing for the broadsheets. Everything has to be stripped down to the point, then steered toward the editorial goals, whereas there's no economy of language required to write for the FT, the Telegraph, or the Gaurdian. Still got your editorial goals though.

Walk is a noun when it's an event. There's a lot of nouns derived from verbs that way, and vice versa.

Thanks for the breaking news about the interchangeability of verbs and nouns in English. However is ‘eat’ a noun? It’s creeping into the vernacular in the plural as a mass noun, but in the singular?

I've really taken to these Regular Car Reviews

You seem to want to pedal the myth that more lockdown and restricted civil liberties will save us from an apocalypse that isn’t going to happen. What will save us from the pandemic is an effective vaccine roll out, which in the UK we have had. Vaccines work. Follow the science.

The science is that hospital admissions are way down. The science is that deaths are way, way down.
Screeching “We must continue to wrap ourselves in cotton wool forever!” isn’t scientific. The vaccines work. That’s science.

Still with the straw men.
Hospital admission is not the same as long Covid.
Vaccines aren't going to totally protect us until we've protected the whole world.

I'll see your Full Fact, and raise you The Lancet.
Your FF article only claims the numbers are lower than that MP claimed, not that there isn't such a syndrome.
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine article says that there is a post acute Covid syndrome, that it is a concern, and that it seems to be in 10 to 20 % of Covid survivors.

Follow the science.

10-20%?
The margin for error is 200% on the lower estimate? That sounds like numbers being picked out of the air, it does not sound very scientific at all.

That's not an estimate range.
In the article itself, you'll find that 20 % is the number of people with symptoms 5 weeks after recovering from acute covid, and 10 % is the number of people with symptoms 12 weeks after their acute infection.
"Not very scientific at all"? This is the fucking Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal right?
You're telling me to follow the science and you can't be bothered to read the material?

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.

Here are a few reasons why it might be a problem
www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)01589-0/fulltext?fbclid=IwAR2lblLC0x_lDeLbox4yX7tSleTKf4AtPc7QnYBaor12VGlkVactQYrQ8Ac
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.

Long Covid is pretty horrible
Plenty of people get long symptoms without needing hospital.
Massive future burden on the NHS.

And I've been working in healthcare for over three decades.
Still, y'all carry on

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

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".

Thank you for that : nice to see a PM owning a mistake...
