I remember once being that teen girl shopping in the women’s section for the first time. I took stacks upon stacks of jeans with me to the dressing room, searching in vain for that one pair that fit perfectly. Over 20 years later, my hunt for the ideal pair of jeans continues. But now as an adult, I’m stuck with the countless ways that women’s apparel is not made for the average person, like me. Children’s clothing sizes are often tied to a kid’s age or stage of development. The idea is that as a young person grows older, her clothes will evolve with her. Youth styles tend to be boxy and oversized to allow room for kids to move and grow. By early adolescence, apparel for girls becomes more fitted. Junior’s styles have higher waistlines and less-pronounced curves compared to adult clothing lines. In short: clothes for tweens are made for tween bodies. By the time most teenage girls can wear women’s clothes — around age 15 — their options are seemingly endless. But the evolution in clothing sizes that followed girls throughout childhood abruptly stops there. This is the reality I find myself reckoning with today: women’s clothing — designed for adults — fits modern teen girls better.

This has terrific graphics, and reminds me strongly of a post which - very annoyingly - I can't recall or find (not via search engine, not via chatbot) which was written by a woman (name maybe included Green?), about British stores' varying clothes sizes, and which I linked to here (so post-2014).

AI makes people boring. AI models are extremely bad at original thinking, so any thinking that is offloaded to a LLM is as a result usually not very original, even if they’re very good at treating your inputs to the discussion as amazing genius level insights. ... The way human beings tend to have original ideas is to immerse in a problem for a long period of time, which is something that flat out doesn’t happen when LLMs do the thinking. You get shallow, surface-level ideas instead.

According to Russian estimates obtained and collated by a western service, Moscow thought only 10% of Ukrainians would fight an invasion, while the rest would either actively support or grudgingly accept a Russian takeover. This was a hopelessly optimistic assessment, but even 10% of Ukraine’s population was 4 million people... The Polish service had good insight into neighbouring Belarus, where the forces who could descend on Kyiv from the north were stationed, and these seemed to be the weakest troops of all. “They were mostly newly drafted recruits … they lacked ammunition, fuel, leadership and training,” said Krawczyk. It looked like a distraction mechanism to draw Ukrainian attention and firepower away from a limited incursion in the Donbas, not a serious fighting force... he first part of January, the Americans got hold of more detailed information about the plans: Russian troops would invade Ukraine from several directions, including from Belarus, airborne forces would land at Hostomel airport outside Kyiv to set up the capture of the capital, and there was a plan afoot to assassinate Zelenskyy... A small group of officers at HUR, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, did begin quiet contingency planning in January, prompted by the US warnings and the agency’s own information, one HUR general recalled. Under the guise of a month-long training exercise, they rented several safe houses around Kyiv and took out large supplies of cash.. In the second week of February, Ukraine’s border guard agency intercepted a new piece of evidence that should have been decisive: communications from the commander of a Chechen unit stationed in Belarus to Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-installed leader of Chechnya. The commander reported to Kadyrov that his men were in place and would soon be in Kyiv...
