I don't disagree but the great thing about Vienna is that, while Schlosspark Schönbrunn is amazing and puts most other city parks into shame, it's not at the top of nice parks in V…

"money-losingest" -> AI already brings in billions and many AI companies could become profitable in little time if they'd stop R&D and simply keep selling what they already have. y…

This "new math" might be a recombination of things that we already know - or an obvious pattern that emerges if you take a look at things from a far enough distance - or something …

Maybe I'm missing the point here - but how is this connected?

Talking to developer (and increasingly non-developer) friends of mine, the following pattern has emerged: Many of them are caught in a "just one more feature" loop that keeps them …

#1: You do not want randomness. You may believe you do until the Titanic crashes into your front yard and your significant vanishes into thin air. You want quite a lot of predictab…

But remember, don't (super)determine and drive

opens coat Hey kid, wanna try some superdeterminism?

Couldn't agree more. Simple REST APIs often do the job as well. MCP felt like a vibe-coded fever dream from the start.

Don't disagree but being the social animals we are, images and videos will never not be important. Things will always feel better when I can connect it with a friendly face.

Next up: Executive AI takes over from AI executive

I'm genuinely curious. I've read a lot of stories of people adding it to group chats, using it as a remote coding and research assistant, or getting it to clean up folders and inbo…

Anybody else experiencing severe decline in Claude output quality since the introduction of "skills"? Like Claude not being able to generate simple markdown text anymore and instea…

Claude to the rescue: This is an interactive data story from The Pudding about research showing that talking to strangers makes us feel better, despite our expectations. The piece …

It looks nice and I really want to engage with the page further but since my time is limited today and I'll have forgotten about this by tomorrow: What's the tl;dr?

How do you deal with specific wording that needs to be used in certain languages (often required for legal topics) or specific brand-related messages that need to be in place witho…

I'm interested in understanding the practical aspects rather than the technical details. Specifically: - What merchants and platforms are supported? - Where does ChatGPT source its…

Congrats on the launch! How does your PDF to text feature compare to services like LlamaParse and 2markdown.com? Especially in terms of layout and image understanding. And for a pr…

I wonder if a well trained rat can beat an AI in terms of prediction quality per energy spent. "Buy a bunch of H200s and build a SMR next to the data center? Nah, just take these r…

Last time Google made a big Gemini announcement, OpenAI owned them by dropping the Sora preview shortly after. This feels like a bit of a comeback as Veo 2 (subjectively) appears t…

> So by the time the 12 year old has met ~20 people, there is a 50/50 chance that amongst those 20, there’s a birthday pair. If you randomly choose the ~20 people from the global p…

Took a brief look at the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

Thanks, I was not aware of this classification. I primarily tend to think of paradoxes as "self-contradictory statements" but you just expanded my definition.

While the math is clear, I'm a bit annoyed by the label "paradox" as the whole setup is too simplistic and reductionistic. The actual chance of being in the same room with someone …
