Because publishers are assholes.

I'm used to user-facing macros (as opposed to say a Lisp macro) being scripts triggered by a keyboard shortcut, so the terminology was confusing to me. Calling this "text expansion" or "text substitution" would have made immediate sense.

Weird that they chose an example that ended up somewhat nonsensical.

Where did they get the human brain organoids from?

Here are some photos I took in Kashgar in 2008: https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=kashgar&w=36101702059%40N01

And some stories from my visit: https://theporouscity.com/show.pl/1980?id=1980

Wonderful place. Unspeakable what's been done to the people there.

Can anyone compare to Lexical?

You evaluate it the way we've evaluated production ML for years, with cheap QC layers sampled and checked by more expensive layers (with humans on top.)

LLMs didn't invent stochastic process steps.

You don't need a super agent, you just need two LLM-based systems with errors that aren't too correlated.

No, the whole thing is very woo. It's fun though.

If you want something similar but non-woo read about bacterial chemotaxis.

actually the paper turns away from IIT - the latter part of section 5 decides that “the electrical and magnetic fields within and around the sun seem a more promising starting point for a discussion of solar consciousness than IIT in its present forms”

It’s potentially a state fiscal crisis if the state keeps operating as insurer of last resort.

The example of "why spreadsheets bad" made me wonder - why don't spreadsheets have a visual indicator for cells with a formula rather than a static value?

Is anyone else disappointed with Gemini Ultra for coding? It just makes basic mistakes too often.

Huh. So they’re impersonating real AirPods to get the pairing pop-up?

can't you just plug it in and never configure the wifi?

I disagree about federation having no value. If email didn't exist, we'd have to invent it.

What do you use $comment for that doesn't work in "description"?

As someone who has lived in SF for 13 years and loves it, 100% agree. So much preventable human misery here.

It sounds like the "region inputs" are raster or vector inputs. So I'm imagining highlighting a region of the photo with my finger and having it tell me "that's the Duomo in Florence."

Not exactly: "As industries moved in, its once-overwhelmingly white population began shrinking. Today more than 70% of residents identify as Hispanic. The poverty rate has risen from 15% in 2005 to nearly 21%. Almost a quarter of the population doesn’t have health insurance."

I mean, they did get Sam off the board, right?

North face of Jannu wearing North Face, no less

Expensive, time-consuming, and after multiple trips to different audiologists I never got a good impression of my right ear. If it works for you though (I'm probably a rare case) I'm sure it's great.

Isn't that https://wandb.ai/ ?

I love meditation and practice daily, but not everyone can do 1 hour a day (Goenka recommends two) and one ten day retreat a year.

If one or two guided trips can transform someone's relationship to death, that's hugely valuable.

Second Apple should be lowercase

So the perfect game is played to a draw - does this mean that competitive play is over? Or is it impractical for human players to memorize the moves required to punish deviation from the perfect game?

Nuclear power is a great carbon-free option.

They're not really directly comparable due to the architectural differences, right? For pure rendering workflows I'm sure the 4090 is faster, but for anything that hits the CPU ...

Works great on my M1 iPad except for textures not loading on the planet of focus.
