So need to think about it now. Our future selves will be much better placed to deal with it.
The article is on the BBC site, so Asia means India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/etc. Japan is Japan.
A problem for us to deal with when we encounter it.
Running is harder work than walking. Try it!
Centiseconds was one of the ways time was measured on the BBC Micro. Your convenient options for accurately measuring the passage of time were vsyncs (50/sec), centiseconds (100/sec), microseconds (1,000,000/sec), or…

I'm inclined to believe them too, so when he said he used LLMs to tweak the wording, I'll accept that was the case. Perhaps the opening post was ill-phrased, but I think the second post clarifies it a bit:…
