LLMs aren't even that good at summarizing poorly structured text, like email discussions. They can certainly cherry-pick bits and pieces and make a guess at the overall topic, but my experience has been that they're poor at identi

For what it's worth, that bit of the policy was written early in the life of the App Store, when there really was a glut of low-effort novelty apps, particularly in the categories they mentioned, and when app discovery features in the

10 years ago, Google was already one of the largest companies in the world - and even then they never got into IC fabrication; they had the parts made for them by an established foundry.

Absolutely. It's a published article by a reputable source - the fact that it had to be obtained by FOIA doesn't make it any less so. As an aside, I'm amused that the FOIA officer felt the need to redact the names of the fict

Nor does it make sense to measure the efficiency of a boost converter as a single, static number. In the real world, that'll depend on 1) the input and output voltages, 2) the load, 3) the switching frequency, and 4) the parameters of

Not that it's necessarily wrong for it to not be listed there, though. The article on GWB is about him and what he did as president - it isn't meant to be a complete history of the United States between 2001 and 2009.
