Anyone who thinks AI is immune to the same promise made by all major technologies of the last 150 years needs a little more...experience.

When legacy systems are already diabolical, throw in another language and they become close to impossible.

Technically-minded people have a responsibility to either:

1. Contribute to improving these systems in some way 2. Find ways to legally and efficiently shorten, circumvent or outsource them

There are other far more pleasant and productive ways to embrace a new language and community. Diving in to red tape is not one.

A shame that this took the threat of war to be taken seriously, rather than the reality of disenfranchisement faced by the elderly, immigrants, the homeless and the unbanked for whom cash remains a lifeline.

It is of great convenience to governments that digital payments require registered accounts on easily-tracked systems.

Just let people buy vegetables without becoming a cell in a Borgesian spreadsheet.

Despite knowing the correct answer to the question in the first section, the diabolical wording on it absolutely threw me:

"Erase the shaded background: does the share of ink that shows the five numbers go up, down, or stay the same?"

In the spirit of the project, try asking me instead,

"Remove the shaded background: is the amount of ink now left on the chart more useful, less useful or the same as before?"

Damn...even that was hard to write.

Max Junestrand has consistently said Legora treats the model layer as swappable, selecting across frontier providers rather than building the product around one.

OpenAI didn't need to name Legora and Harvey in the second paragraph of the launch post.

They are pre-empting the obvious interpretation of Astra for Law: that moving this far up the legal stack puts them in direct competition with their biggest legal AI customers.

“Don't worry, they can build on us” is a pretty conspicuous message to include on launch day.

They have clearly thought about some pessimistic outcomes.

Try Spanish roundabouts. On the whole, poorly designed, implemented and regulated. On roundabouts with two or more lanes, laws favour those on the outside lane, so everyone takes the outside lane even if they are travelling 3/4 of the way round. As a result drivers who are in a position to take an exit, do not take that exit. In addition, indicators are not used by most drivers, or they simply leave their indicators on all the way round. In addition, it is not allowed to exit a roundabout from the inside lane even on to a two lane exit. In addition many roundabouts have three lanes to enter onto a two lane roundabout, or two into one, etc. No one knows the rules, or follows them, and no one seems to care, from the civil engineers right down to the end users. The only winners are repair shops.

In comparison, UK roundabouts are civilised examples of harmonious intellectual etiquette. Enjoy them.

One is reminded of Damien Hirst's famed retort to a critic who said "Well I could have pickled a shark" ... "But you didn't, did you. I did."

Somewhere there are tiny people going "Don't let the giants eat those mushrooms!"

Stefan Sagmeister talks about taking 5 years of your retirement and interspersing them into your working years in this great talk, pertinent moments at 01:30-02:00:

Ha, have also slept outside Biarritz station whilst interrailing. Must be the sea breeze.

Wow that's a fantastic deal. I seem to remember it was about £280 in the 90s for standard class, 30 day unlimited.

Thanks, great to know. I hear you on at least knowing where you might sleep. Age 18-23 even this isn't that critical, when 'beach' or 'park' are viable answers.

The best part of interailling for me was turning up to a major train station, looking at the giant departure board, choosing an enigmatic destination and just getting on the train. No booking or reservations or even planning at any point.

Is this not possible any more?

This is absolutely needed for media companies in London, some of whom may pay freelancers many months after invoicing and only if the freelancer repeatedly reminds them and escalates towards legal threats. When I ran such a company we made a point of paying people the same day they invoiced in order to stand out as being great to work with, it was the easiest win ever.

They should give the data to people who ask, which will be a snapshot in time presented in a spreadsheet. Then what you are paying for is the interface that shows you who clicked yesterday with a thumbnail and a link to their profile, and who will click tomorrow, as long as you keep paying. But refusing the download option is not on.

So you don't want to be accountable to users, or to bureaucrats? If you had to choose one who would it be?

Your question ramp makes sense to me except in two ways: 1. why this "destroy lives in seconds?" question? 2. where do you see sugar sitting here?

Okay sounds like we agree that sugar and junk food should be on the wrong side of the line, but turns out those industries have very little stigma. Who is standing outside the school gates protesting against big cola? My point is it's complicated, ambiguous, sometimes hypocritical, differs by jurisdiction and so on. None of it is clear.

There are plenty of other products that literally ruin people's lives: alcohol, tobacco, sugar, pharmaceuticals, credit cards, firearms, timeshares, junk food. Society has them all on very different parts of a stigma spectrum.

Honest question: why is this line so clear for you?

Search for the MinaLima edition of the Wizard of Oz, it's absolutely stunning.

Great work, thanks!

I'm making placards now. Meet you on the corner of Pioneer and 78th st.

Wow. Downvoted for factual clarification and helpful citation. No idea what drives such people, but must logically assume deception and obfuscation.

Both are featured in the video and both have credits visible through the microscope.

Watch the video if you believe it's worth being clear. The credits are perfectly visible on both the LaserDisc AND the CED. Approx 22:00-24:00 is the laser disc and 25:00 onwards is the CED. Enjoy.

Not simply repeating patterns, readable text from the credits as shown in the video.

It says its tailored for beginners, but I don't know what kind of beginner can parse multiple paragraphs like this:

"How wrong was the prediction? We need a single number that captures "the model thought the correct answer was unlikely." If the model assigns probability 0.9 to the correct next token, the loss is low (0.1). If it assigns probability 0.01, the loss is high (4.6). The formula is − log ⁡ ( � ) −log(p) where � p is the probability the model assigned to the correct token. This is called cross-entropy loss."

You claim to cite 'technologies' but include a few brands and companies for some reason.

The one you keep citing, here and in the article, Quibi, lives on in technology-form (the spirit of your article we must presume) as an 8 billion dollar business in China and is rapidly upending every Hollywood film studio.

So, arguments about substantiation or even 'this time' fall flat in the face of not even understanding your own message.

Glad to see this here, Balearic slinging has a rich and impactful history. But sadly this is not much appreciated today on the islands.

The Federation hosts open days where only a handful of people show up. Top slingers from the islands are treated with great acclaim when they travel to international competitions but at home few know who they are. The Balearic Government and local councils show little interest in supporting or promoting this activity.

I can't help feel it could and should be much more popular, with an injection of support and enthusiasm, especially as the islands try to rediscover a post-tourism identity.

But I don't see any evidence of this yet. I continue to do my little part in telling everyone I know how fascinating this sport is.

And yes, how incredibly difficult! I had probably 50 attempts before I hit a large target just 7 or 8 metres away.
