Analog clocks represent a different way to think about time. They aren't so much about exact hours and minutes as they are about a continuum of time. The hour hand marks a share of the day and the minute hand a share of the hour. For me they are if anything easier to interpret at a glance.

The space shuttle was a death trap. Iâd say the main problem with dragon is that thereâs no alternative at the moment because Boeing had so much trouble with their starliner.

The âshuttlesâ are the privately funded starship program. Government contracts are for falcon 9 and dragon and at least for dragon there is no alternative for putting astronauts in space for the US at the moment.

And in that case it's deep because the tunnel goes under the sea and then there's a tall cliff.

Are they spending billions and making the station much worse to use to avoid some temporary disruption to the street?

It's ok to try to convince people that more immigration would be good while also saying that democratic politicians should not be campaigning on more immigration. Those are two different things.

They can't bring in the capital ships against the death star as they would get destroyed, only the fighters can get close. Plus they took all those losses at Scarif. Plus the death star shows up at Yavin and they do a desperate quick defense without time to bring in all their forces.

Try it with Gemini 2.5. ChatGPT has a short context window and canât really read an entire long fantasy book.

What Anthropic actually said is that in some cases when the model is given access to a command line interface and thinks you are doing something terrible, it might try to contact the authorities. They did not say this is what it's designed to do, they are saying that in testing this is what it did.

I use it (or rather gemini recently) all the time and I don't use it to write anything I expect others to read. Maybe I'd ask it to check something I've written for issues.

Oh wow now THAT is a naive take.

I've also heard this about Chicago having more Swedes than any city but Stockholm at some point.

29 year old woman making six figures angry about how the liberals have handled the economy the last ten years? Yeah it sure sounds like they doomed her to poverty.

This is part of a general system where language, vision and actions are all handled by one integrated model. It is not a preprogrammed contained task. I assume it had some sort of training data specifically on the actions for folding a fox but this is absolutely something new.

This is autonomous, well at least according to google I wasn't there. But this is the same AI lab that got the Nobel prize in chemistry last year so they know their stuff.

Honestly, after seeing gemini robotics I feel like it might not be that far off.

Yes, people got places to live but have you considered that developers made a profit?

Supposedly they are going to introduce highway driving for paying customers this year. I know they have been doing demonstration runs without safety drivers already.

Well, I guess my point is that sometimes the stakes are low and perfect accuracy isn't required. For a good amount of uses, the hallucination rate is low enough that it's fine. These systems have improved a whole lot in the last few months, they are good enough to save me lots of time.
comment in response to

Well, mostly when using them for fun, writing stories or rp and such. Anything low enough stakes. Absolutely a common use of them.

There are lots of areas where the state of the art models are quite trustworthy if you are used to them and know their limits. Beyond that there are plenty of areas where finding an answer is much more difficult than checking that it's right. Finally for many uses accuracy isn't important.

If there was infinite demand from institutional investors without prices dropping then building more housing would be an infinite money making machine.

How the hell did they build a system where this is even within the realm of possibility. This is just absurd.

Well, just because he says it doesn't mean he believes it. Ascribing the quality you want in someone to them to influence them is like persuasion 101.

A bit awkward that they compare it to Gemini 2.0 pro, a model that Google phased out like yesterday because 2.5 pro is far superior in every way. Where's Meta's reasoning model?

I guess you build your data centers in Canada and elsewhere. Really screws with current plans but that's an easy way around the tariffs.

The study says "NĂ„got underlag som
motiverar den valda lösningen med tre stationslÀgen och tvÄ separata tunnlar finns
inte. Det har dÀrför inte varit möjligt att klarlÀgga exakt vilka övervÀganden som
ligger bakom den valda utformningen." Literally they don't know why two tunnels were built.
comment in response to
post
Overall the whole thing is strange, in the 90's they wanted to experiment with public private partnerships and made some strange deal where the whole thing is privately owned and expensive. The express trains use one tunnel and all other trains the through tunnel.

Hah, I looked into it and this government study from literally just four years after it was opened concludes that it doesn't make sense and they don't know why it was done that way.

That article passed through a game of telephone becomes interpreted as doctors using chatgpt and it killing people. I'd say it's irresponsible to just link this without any comments on what it does and does not say.

Reading the paper the article is based on it's not about LLM's. The study looks at various statistical and simple ML methods. They look at one transformer model they made themselves with less than 1 million parameters (largest in the study but still microscopic).

I once read an article where a NY official claimed grand central terminal was the busiest train station in the world. It's in New York so of course it's the largest in the world!

My trade deficit subsidy to the grocery store is outrageous, I won't be paying for that anymore. What do you mean I won't get my groceries then?
