My best guess is that a part of it is replacing US (or in this case Israeli) devs with much cheaper Italian/European ones, earning ~a quarter of their US counterparts and working longer hours, as Bending Spoons has an extremely competi

The article is more about OpenAI hiding the evidence, which if true seems more clearly unethical.

Yes it's "surprisingly readable" only for being so strong and so concise, definitely not production code. The file is 500 lines because of the piece square tables (as you mentioned), comments, and the CLI interface logic Prev

Have you tried to compare Z3 with cvc5? https://cvc5.github.io/docs/cvc5-1.1.2/api/python/pythonic/p... It offers basically the same API and could be faster in many cases

The vast majority of farmed animals are factory farmed: https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/almost-all-livestoc... I agree that cows are an exception and live decent lives, but >95% of pigs, chickens, and fish

Cats are also widely eaten: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_meat But I think eating someone doesn't need to imply causing them as much suffering as our current farming practices do

I'm not vegan, but I'm always really surprised by the difference in how we see cats and pigs. See e.g. https://theintercept.com/2020/05/29/pigs-factory-farms-venti... https://www.ted.com&

That's not true, or at least it only applies to some chapters. Most studies in the book did replicate.

No this is from just one partnership, my sense is that OpenAI alone wants more than that. 5% to 10% of US electricity going to AI in 10 years is consistent with the current valuations of AI companies.

by Recursing 1y ago
For a better sense of scale: it's about 2% of the average US electricity consumption, and about the same as the average electricity consumption of the Netherlands (18 million people)

This is not true. E.g. zucchinis/courgettes are fruits but are widely considered vegetables: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini Same for eggplants/aubergines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

From page 23: > 92. In spring 2024, Altman learned Google would unveil its new Gemini model on May 14. Though OpenAI had planned to release GPT-4o later that year, Altman moved up the launch to May 13—one day before Google’s event. >

I also recommend trying out Gemini, I'm really impressed by the latest 2.5. Let's see if Claude 4 makes me switch back.
