It’s definitely common in Denmark, enough that it’s a perennial national debate. Maersk is a huge employer that officially made their corporate language English something like 20 years ago, which spawned discussions about whether you should

For this book specifically, I think the reason is just that Lean is the theorem prover he already knows and uses in his own work [1]. Now as to why he picked Lean a few years ago as his go-to theorem prover, I do think that would be an inte

I agree, especially because in practice the vast majority of AI-generated videos uploaded to YouTube are going to be from one of about 3 or 4 generators (Sora, Veo, etc.). May change in the future, but at the moment the detection problem is

I don't think it's been dead for 10 years. I'd place it at maybe 3? I teach at a mid-ranked university and the majority of my fresh out of college students were getting good-to-great entry level offers just a few years ago. T

Genetic programming systems have periodically made improvements to algorithms (dating back decades). Whether LLM-powered GP, which is effectively what this is, will be a step change or an evolution of that is still an open question I think.

This might have changed after you posted your comment, but it looks like 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash are available in the Gemini app now, both web and mobile.

Indeed meteofrance appears to be monolingual. I would say they're a bit unusual in that though. Most other national meteorological services I know of have forecasts available in at least two languages. E.g.: Finnish/Swedish/E

I believe the implication is that they're seeding the problems in the discourse for the purpose of selling their solutions. A slightly more overt version of the submarine: https://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Yeah to me the overt lying is more damning than any particular decision. If he owned the decision to bypass ethics review and release a model, fine, we can argue if that was prudent or not, but at least it's honest leadership. Lying th

> For the 2nd to the 5th quintile, only 3% to 23% of households are still in the same quintile a decade later. I think you're misreading the table? Table 1 says that 72% of 5th-quintile households were still in the 5th quintile a de

Yes, there’s research showing that models’ self-assessment of probabilities (when you ask them via prompting) don’t even match the same models’ actual probabilities, in cases where you can measure the probabilities directly (e.g. by looking

Yes, this has historically been a nice aspect of living in the U.S. compared to Europe, for those of us who like obscure stuff. Want to order some book only available from an eBay seller in another country? If you're shipping to the U.

That's pretty common in Japanese typography that mixes in Latin characters, especially in older fonts. Pretty decent explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/typography/comments/vvfmpu/comment&#x2F

That appears to be the case, although the wording of what they agree to up front is considerably more vague than the agreement they're reportedly presented to sign post-departure. Link to a thread from the author of the Vox article: h
