I knew a bunch of them. Most of them moved on: retired or started over in new careers. It hit them hard. Maybe not so hard because trading was a lucrative career, but most of us don't have that kind of dough to fall back on.

I'm not anti-union at all, but I do think there is a very common experience that sours people against them early in their career: that of a mandatory union that docks your already meager pay without any obvious benefits. It of course o

100% I think the author is really misunderstanding the issue here. "Hallucination" is a fundamental aspect of the design of Large Language Models. Narrowing the distribution of the training data will reduce the LLM's ability

Carbon capture from the air is at best a tiny fraction of the solutions we need. Right now our time is better spent on emissions reduction. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00953-x
