The problem with Altman isn't that he's "furthering his own interests". It's the deceitful behaviour he employs in the process.

Surely there are pitfalls either way. A ballast file can be deleted too readily, or someone could forget to re-add it.

I don't know about you, but as soon as a car starts I'm pretty sure I know whether it's an EV or combustion engine.

Is there not a big image factor? Like, people don't want to be seen as the type of person who'd drive an electric.

Wikipedia has an interesting example where it's still ambiguous: They went to Oregon with Betty, a maid, and a cook. It's not clear whether Betty is the maid. But tbh removing the comma doesn't help either. Personally

Good vs bad is an orthogonal spectrum to true vs false. LLMs are trained to be convincing, not correct.

I think it's to do with the bottleneck shifting away from code generation and towards specifying and reviewing and integrating code. The process of working with AI agents to produce specs, tech specs, code, and reviews lends itself mor

At a recent AI workshop management made clear that they see AI as rendering sprints and scrums obsolete, that Kanban makes a lot more sense, and that estimating effort/story-points is also becoming meaningless. Which is a strong silver

The abstract suggests they're proposing speed-up techniques for the assignment and centroid update stages of the classic k-means algorithm. Which would therefore also apply to k-means++.

There are big differences between the historical notion of a courtesan and the underage women trafficked by Epstein. The main one being that courtesans played an established and visible (if unwritten) role in society.

It depends how convenient it is for you to constantly be carrying devices that have 2fa software or the correct SIM card installed. I might prefer to simply access my email account, which I know how to do anywhere.

Not if you don't happen to have a device on you with that app installed.

I think if 20 years ago you claimed that there was a global sex trafficking ring that procured young girls for elites, politicians, celebrities, and royalty, you'd be laughed off as a David Icke level conspiracist. These days it just s

Email link is way more convenient than a 2FA text, surely? It means you don't need to remember credentials or have your phone with you.

Surely it's meaningless to compare the efficiency of slavery vs other systems, since your set of resources is completely different.

Great article. Especially loved this > “I love you,” Jess said above his cot one evening before lights out. “I love Henry,” came the reply.

There is an issue on their GitHub relating to customisable contraction hierarchies, but it doesn't seem to have gotten much interest. https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/6574

James Dyson advocated for Brexit on the basis of supporting British industry, and shortly afterwards migrated the company HQ to Singapore.

by n4r9 8mo ago
Some of those objections to Contraction Hierarchies are possibly a little out of date. Modern variants of the technique allow for rapid live traffic customisation, see e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.10519 . I suspect

Carlson has never been that strongly pro-Israel as I understand it. He's carefully toed a line that maintains a solid right-wing fanbase. See e.g. this [0] from 2012 and this [1] from 2019. [0] https://www.politico.com/

I think there are many people (myself included) whose plans would change dramatically upon discovery of Alzheimer's, dementia, or some other degenerative disease. I might consider moving to somewhere with more liberal assisted suicide
