I agree that AI has enormous potential in the education space. I've been using Gemini to develop study materials for some pre-med classes I'm taking. Clearly Google has put a lot of training into generating quizzes to test knowledge, explaining difficult concepts, and tutoring me when I get something wrong.

That said, I understand why educators are struggling with how to evaluate mastery of a subject and encourage people to pursue knowledge.

Awesome! I'm taking prerequisite classes (probably for Physician's Assistant school) while picking up a few shifts at the local EMS station. Good luck on your journey!

I'd love to see a division of DOT have a bounty program for illegal parking. They do it for idling trucks, why not do it for vehicles parked in bike lanes/illegal double parking/etc?

If the tech industry is any indicator, frontier labs were applying a "move fast and break things" mentality to AI models. Now that they really are breaking things in the real world, they have to reckon with the reality that product safety matters

I noticed that audio quality begins degrading above 100% (at least if the media is already at high volume), so it really is a useful concept. I'm unsure what Linux distro I'm recalling this from, but it was useful on my little old netbook from college

It was an interesting, but counterintuitive result that water temperatures went down after artificial beaver damming. Their theory is that the water is able to permeate more into the ground and exchange heat with the ambient underground temperature [1]

I love the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project for questions like this. Linguists figure this comes from Scots-Irish immigrants to the US

Electric scooters are a walking enhancer in an urban area. Now you can go 20kph in a city and easily park your vehicle. They're also super cheap to own and operate (or borrow one when needed). That's a totally different animal than a $40k subcompact trike car that requires an actual paid parking spot

You can also import gpx files to the online editor! But you do have to manually trace them to add them to OSM proper

This is why I bought a Casio G-shock smartwatch. I use my watch primarily as a watch: I like to track my workouts, and it is nice to get important notifications to my watch when I'm busy / trying to focus

Reducing the R^2 value to ~1.5 excludes skin colors that are extremely blue, green and purple. That seems to be a happy medium between including real outliers and excluding colors like green.

Public investment was responsible for Apollo, so there was no expectation of profitability. Private investment is largely responsible for the AI buildout, and private investment isn't doing that for charity

We carry ketamine on our ambulance where I work part-time. I wouldn't be surprised if some people were legally receiving drug therapy for depression

It is a commodity product and the price is everywhere you go. It's just a low effort topic to talk about, like the weather or the local sports team

Directionally, that's why companies are getting rid of token leaderboards and imposing limits on LLM costs. There's a diminishing marginal return to tokens

There's limited research on readability of monospaced font. But this study suggests monospace is weakly more readable than variable-width font:

People forget that LLM code cannot be covered by copyright. So LLM code cannot be placed under an open source license

AI or not, the government would benefit from investing more money in improving digital services. Merely slapping an AI onto the existing system will only make things worse. Try using one of the AI hotel receptionists right now to get an idea of what that future looks like.

wanderlog is a separate web service

"Me" in this case being a stand-in for the principal owner, which could be a corporation, individual, or group of individuals

Honestly, there should be laws against gen AI models creating fake media with real individuals. We're going to end up with a massive mess on our hands once the video starts looking more realistic

I've had my ham license for ten years, but I've only ever used a basic car-based mobile setup and my handhelds. My morse code speed is abysmal. QRP and all that are really cool, but I just use ham radio to supplement my fire/ems handheld in a natural disaster.

High quality CPR includes AED usage. 30 compressions to two ventilations. After 2 minutes of CPR, perform a rhythm check with AED and shock if advised. There are existing robots that do chest compressions for you (Zoll AutoPulse, LUCAS). They would work in space I bet.

Masimo sells a health monitoring watch. [1] There is direct competition here.

Google Assistant is/was pretty good...for Google apps. It's useless for anything else. The new Gemini powered version is actually a regression imo

Certainly there's an element of personal choice. I currently live in a town of 3,000 in a rural state that was previously served by trains. Once cars became accessible to the masses, that train service was no longer sustainable.

But in actual US metro areas where much of the country lives, land use choices were made to enhance moving cars at the expense of other modes of transport. Urban areas were bulldozed to funnel cars into downtowns from far-flung suburbs. Amsterdam, on the other hand, was once a car-loving city, but has chosen to redevelop streets for transit and active transportation. Personal choice matters, but how much is driven by incentives?

They have an entire webpage/associated github repository. It doesn't seem like they've published anything terribly well-known, but good on them for releasing some tooling

Because there's a better way for bots to get the data via the wikipedia database dump. Sending some large zip archives is a lot cheaper than individually serving every page on Wikipedia.

To clear things up: the throttle used to be a physical cable, like on an affordable bicycle with rim brakes. It is still a cable on most motorcycles.

"tyre" is just UK English
