Sorry, what's the implication here? are you saying this was LLM-authored?

Mbta commuter rail is not a good system. I tried it for a month (Fitchburg line), the train was scheduled once an hour and was regularly half an hour or more late. The passes were exorbitantly expensive, too; more than the cost of car owner

it's not so simple because many countries make lots of money from remittances of people working abroad in wealthy countries. setting up industry takes time; in the meantime they've lost a huge source of income.

Higher education institutions, like all bureaucracies, exist largely to sustain and validate their own existence. In this hypothetical scenario, if they admitted the masters student who taught themselves an undergrad equivalent with AI, tha

I also work with genAI daily. to say there's no improvement between gpt3 and gpt4 and gpt4o is massively incorrect. the improvement in the latter two was measurable and obvious. Just the speed of answer alone is improved by an order of

NYC Subway, Metro North, and LIRR have much broader and more frequent coverage to a lot more places outside the urban core than the bay area's network does. Iirc muni metro has passable coverage inside San Francisco, and Bart and Caltr

in the US or parts of Europe you could wait there for 10m past the scheduled time and barely notice. In Japan if the train clock disagreed with the station clock by 30s, causing the train to arrive 30s late, they'd have to write all of

It turns out that, like biological evolution, evolution of machinery is the survival of the "good enough". it's probable that the best gauge for railroads, starting from scratch in 2024, would be wider than current standard g

I read it just now because of this comment and it was a joy! I recently read the history of the mbta book, which helped me understand the old names of lines and stations. The fictional network has a few connecting lines that never existed,

space is big. there are probably rocks within sight of I-95 that have never been touched by a human, yet tens of thousands of humans flow by them every day. We could be in the middle of a galactic empire and not know it because our system i

my understanding is that: a) the quad design works better at small scales b) it's naturally unstable and will fall out of the sky catastrophically if the computer fails. Standard helicopters can auto-rotate and land without power. We p

the last line says they recently took it to Paris to be exhibited, so how "stuck" was it really?

Freight trains can require several miles to stop even at full brake application (which will also ruin the wheels). I agree that it's not the same as a plane, but they still definitely can't stop whenever they'd like or for fr

The British in WW2 had hope and collective purpose. Shared suffering for a noble goal feels meaningful and worthwhile, and you get to be a part of something bigger than yourself. I'm less certain about peasant life, but I suppose if it

Seconding this. Gemini 1.5 is comically bad at basic tasks that GPT4 breezes through, not to mention GPT4o.

It may be once in a generation, but I don't think they're going to be the ones to capture it. I've been working with Gemini 1.5 in the past few days and I'm pretty unimpressed. The tool calling system in particular is no

I've heard that, sometimes, buying ads in a prominent public place like this can be the best way to influence one or two crucial executives that you're trying to target. It can be worth the cost just for the one or two impressions

There's more to it than that. Our freight trains are much larger, heavier, and longer than swiss/European freight trains. It's not unreasonable to think that a passenger train sharing track space with North American freight t

DID (multiple personality disorder) is far, far more common in media than real life. This game gave me a greater sense of empathy for someone experiencing (a cartoon version of) DID. I don't have DID but I have a comparable condition,

Wisdom of the elders usually comes in the form of reasons not to do X. If the young doers heeded all of our elders' advice all of the time, we would be cautioned and red-taped into not accomplishing anything in a meaningful timeframe.

This sort of chain of custody thing you're referring to is also known as Data Lineage and it's a highly difficult problem that many large institutions are interested in solving. I've talked to a number of them. Only a very fe

This is fascinating. I feel like you're serious but I don't understand. does anyone have a source about this gay-but-not culture in Kabul?

This may sound silly, but until this comment I, a non-gun-user, always vaguely thought that the AR in AR-15 stood for Assault Rifle. Apparently it's ArmaLite Rifle. Huh.

This is Wikipedia; if you think it's important I hope you'll consider making the edit to add it to the list!

The game does a lot of plane-like physics instead of space-like physics as far as flying goes. Some of it is explained away by the ship "simulating" things for you, like drag. In practice it's just more fun/intuitive tha

The mouse cursor moves at like 10fps, even on the main menu before you've loaded anything. It's really comical.

it may be higher than 5%, but definitely not all 30% of those make 2A their only issue. plus there's a good fraction who have the mindset "I'd rather nobody have a gun, but if he gets a gun then I want one too".
