I'd argue (simplistically) that AI is largely introspection.

Thank you for a very detailed explanation. The rich international student pipeline has always stood out to me – we've seen dozens of 30, 40 or even 50 storey skyscrapers built for students, enjoying lifestyles usually reserved for tho

I'm still sure we can do a little better though. Maybe a personalised diet and exercise plan based on a huge range of information: preferences, biometrics, habit forming, disposable income, your local area etc

It would probably depend on the target audience. I was very impressed by Anthropic's swarm of agents building a C compiler earlier this year with 1000 PRs per hour. Easy to nitpick that it wasn't perfect, but it sure was impressiv

As a Brit, I've never had the sense the UK (specifically the City of London) has any genuine interest in tackling money laundering. I suspect our economy is structurally reliant upon us being extremely good at it.

Responding to the tweet quoted in the article: why are the examples given of futuristic capabilities always so visionless - it's always booking a flight or scheduling a meeting. Doing this manually is already pretty trivial, it's

Best of luck! I completed mine 2 years ago and have to say it was 100% worth the patience.

It was fun and exciting at first. However when phone batteries started getting low and the streetlights were still off you could see that changing. Candles and the relaxed Spanish attitude to life helped a lot :)

It would be remiss not to also mention The Cube Rule https://cuberule.com/

By mass, sure - but have you considered delectability?

Apologies as this is fairly tangential: There's a parallax effect in Street View on Apple Maps that separates out the layers of every image. Things like lampposts or telephone poles all rotate slightly differently to whatever is behind

This is really cool. I loved the technical breakdown and side by side comparisons. Surprised to hear that Microsoft and MacOS default fonts didn't score so well!

Just earlier I received a spew of LLM slop from my manager as "requirements". He clearly hadn't even spent two minutes reviewing whether any of it made sense, was achievable or even desirable. I ignored it. We're all fed

The streamer PayMoneyWubby did a hilarious deep dive into the world of artisanal pencil sharpening last year. He couldn't quite tell whether it was real or a genius comedy bit.

For the curious, Clickspring has recreated something a lot like this and uses it on his Antikythera Mechanism videos on YT.

Just checking (genuine question) there wouldn't be a sneaky way to weaponize a million satellites in orbit around the Earth, would there? I can't imagine it wouldn't have ever been looked into.

The Toss emojis at the end of the article are surprisingly artful!

There are many versions, it's a popular theme. I saw 4 or 5 together in the Museum of Western Art in Tokyo recently.

That second video was fascinating, thanks for posting.

I used to make these for myself and found them very helpful for planning out the year. Mine had only one difference, which was aligning the days of the week between each month.

Bob Dylan used to regularly play a small annual festival (Hop Farm) near me in Kent, England. Growing up, I always found it slight strange that this big global name was playing down the road.

I imagine this would be a great use case for AI helping out?

I literally reused the definition of stealing you gave in the post above.

> Stealing implies the thing is gone, no longer accessible to the owner. Isn't this a little simplistic? If the value of something lies in its scarcity, then making it widely available has robbed the owner of a scarcity value which

It could be a wide range of things depending on your field: highly particular materials, knowledge or processes that give your products or services a particular edge, and which a company has often incurred high R&D costs to discover. Ma

Given the conduct we've seen to date, I'd trust them to follow the letter - but not the spirit - of IP law. There may very well be clever techniques that don't require directly training on the users' data. Perhaps genera

Earlier this year I thought that rare proprietary knowledge and IP was a safe haven from AI, since LLMs can only scrub public data. Then it dawned on me how many companies are deeply integrating Copilot into their everyday workflows. It&#x2

I had the same sense. I can see why people like the shows, but to me there's a subtle arrogance to the rich, white American guy just holding court everywhere he goes and explaining local matters as if he's an expert. The food aspe
