    Near flawless is an unreasonable expectation. SpaceX had the advantage of running years of cargo missions. The error was simply not using the same successful model with any new veh…

    I struggle with this question. The editor plays a valuable role and it's not hard to swallow the argument that editors make science better, they're the front line filter. Employing…

    I'd guess the more mundane, someone probably had a spreadsheet of a few thousand updates or improvements, checked a reasonable sample of them, then accepted the lot of then. I bet …

    I suspect someone was tasked with using the latest tools to improve a bunch of listings. 50 years ago they were given a typewriter for the same task, today they were given an LLM. …

    That way of looking at it feels like it focuses on the one error while ignoring that, in all likelihood, the same action that caused the error, probably improved 1000 other listing…

    This feels like something of a non story to me. Using AI for product descriptions seems like an obvious and reasonable use case; and data entry errors are not uncommon nor terribly…

    This study is getting a fair bit of media attention and I'm curious what others think of it. The study is large and appears to follow sound methods. My concern about it is their fo…

    I haven't been running windows for a year or two now, so this was a while back, but I think I was on Windows 10, possibly it was 8 back then, no tweaks. But I was quite successful …

    On Windows I could consistently open a 32GB matrix in Matlab with 16GB of RAM on my laptop and perform operations on the matrix. The disk would spin, and it would take 20 minutes t…

    In Windows on a 16GB RAM laptop, I've often fired up Matlab, opened a 32GB matrix, and performed a few simple operations on it. In Windows Matlab dutifully chugs away on the proble…
