I didn't understand how a black hole could pass through a star when I read this. I think of black holes as large. Apparently a primordial black hole can have the mass of an asteroi…

This article seems very one-sided, as do many others I looked through. The 'why' of people trying to cross seems to be totally ignored. Very low quality sources say things like: - …

Can you please do a separate post about your job? The technology sounds amazing and I'd love to know how AI is now interacting with this stack. Also, which firm? Might need a desig…

Is it just me or does this read like a re-implementation of LSTMs?

The most interesting point of the article for me is that this vaccine appears to be a series of shots which act as a curriculum for the immune system. Each one slightly different a…

If true this is basically unforgivable. The wanton destruction of history is the stuff of the Third Reich and the Taliban. You simply cannot profess to care about knowledge, cultur…

Guess who's getting an air gap!

I have. They are not to my taste. Here's a voice I really enjoy listening to. https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?search=zNsotODqUhvbJ... If I could have Christopher Lee, or St…

For a bit of context there are some classically very hard things going on in this video, so if you're not impressed, be glad you didn't have to try to build this 10 years ago. - Co…

"Steel is one of the classic alloy examples: mostly iron with a dash of carbon and other elements, making it much stronger and harder than iron on its own." Statements like this ha…

The article sometimes makes it sound like this is a diagnostic tool but am I wrong in thinking it's a reference constructed from a small number of individuals?

Fight extremism with extremism I guess? Maybe we don't have to be either "world govt" or "help me get away with murder". It's ok to say things will be messy and complicated and tha…

Nice! Thanks for confirming. If the last instruction is 'go back to where you started' does it work?

Can we have less terrible voices please? Nothing that sounds like a bubbly millennial. Literally anything that has gravitas.

It's implied, and I'm hoping it's true, that this is a map-less navigation. Which is impressive. This kind of task is much easier if you have a pre-captured map of the environment,…

Even though it said ""Unbelievable. Are you actually Stephen Fry in disguise?" it still estimates I know less than half the English vocabulary. Humbling.

Crazy, such memories. Thanks!

This is search. Please don't reinvent search with a new acronym. Agents can use Google. They can also see all the same signals humans do to judge quality. Maybe there's a need for …

Not a physician. Some observations on these statements. The predicate is "given how we practice medicine and the limits of humans ability to interpret the imaging modalities we hav…

Funny you mention that, since that's what I pilot LLMs to build :)

Shutting down the growth prospects of a company based, not on its behavior, but on the capability of its models right before the IPOs of the companies you're going to profit from i…

"We received the directive from the government today at 5:21pm (ET)" This sounds exactly like the opening line from an apocalyptic sci-fi film.

Brutal. I love it.

Ah, ok. There's a whole body of literature here that I think divides our opinions. I would recommend "Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict (Columb…

Sorry if I was unclear. I don't work in finance. I do work with agents. I think expert engineers in finance who are guiding agents are adding a lot of value because of their knowle…
