A lot of hand waiving about how "minor paperwork" for everyone isn't such a big deal. But very little coverage of what benefit that paperwork is accomplishing. This looks like a big bag of regulatory requirements, some which

Presumably this is for people who don't like that idea. Hopefully Google doesn't force everyone to use this, even if they preferred to just meet somewhere and walk together to look for a place.

That'd still be a bit too tolerant for my tastes. It should have some kind of reinforcement signal that's stronger than just preventing the code from compiling. Some kind of shock therapy to help users learn and internalize things

The places where they use the same methodology seem within the error bars of the cherry picked benchmarks they selected. Maybe for some tasks it's roughly comparable to GPT4 (still a major accomplishment for Google to come close to clo

After hearing for years how Uber is a scam and will never be profitable, I guess it makes sense there's some moving of the goalposts here.

Presumably this tenant who is staying for a year would be staying elsewhere in the city if they couldn't stay at the Airbnb. How is it adding to the housing crisis?

Not if you're using ANN. In some cases that will be very similar to exhaustive search but in other cases you'll get results that you don't want. You also need embeddings that distribute things mostly evenly across the embeddi

The Recognitions by Gaddis gets you the 1950s in similar fashion (and it's clear he was a major influence on those postmodern tome style writers who came later). Pynchon has pretty good coverage of the 1960s. Then DeLillo and Ballard g

Neutrinos from cosmic sources are incredibly rare. If you want any real chance of detecting them you need large detectors. The neutrinos from this CERN experiment are much more concentrated. That allows them to use much smaller detectors.

The 'state' they're talking about here isn't about the left/right-handedness (chirality) of the molecules. It's more about the quantum properties of the system. Think energy levels, spins instead.
