The main linked article actually does not have that video; the article linked from in the description does have it. Not surprising that someone missed it.

I live nearby and really enjoy Oodi. It's usually much busier than in these pictures.

Nitpick: The early moves in the game are called fuseki. Joseki refers to well-studied local patterns of moves and they appear through the middle game, not just in the early game. A…

The Wikipedia article says: "Rock, sand and concrete has a heat capacity about one third of water's. On the other hand, concrete can be heated to much higher temperatures (1200 °C)…

(Off topic.) Not only that, but Linus's parents were politically active communists and young Linus was a pioneer (like a boy scout but for communists). His father also lived in Mos…

_Miles_ from the ocean? Budapest is 620 miles from the nearest ocean at the mouth of Elbe. (Incidentally exactly 1000 km.)

It took me a while but I think the difference between Vertex and Gemini APIs is that Vertex is meant for existing GCP users and Gemini API for everyone else. If you are already usi…

Yeah. Alternative explanation: I'd say 3 and 7 are out because they often come up in fairy takes etc as magical. 5 is out because it's half of ten and the number of fingers. 2 is o…

Oh, right! I forgot about it. I guess 8 would do too.

Also it is one party (The Finns) presenting a rail initiative competing with their government partner's (National Coalition) older initiative. It is very unlikely that they both wi…

Stray thought: Why 4 and 9? Because the joke is funniest if the number is completely ordinary. 0 and 1 are special and so are all prime numbers. 6 is out because it's the maximum d…

The article is about choosing 12 colors from the 4096-color palette.

Isn't white vs blue collar a latent variable? You have to operationalize it somehow. If you just ask "how blue collar are you?", people's answers will be influenced by all kinds of…

We got access soon after the API was announced and have happily been using Claude Instant in production for a couple of months now. It may have helped that our use case was a good …

Suppose we have trained a model to perform a certain set of tasks. Later we would want to teach it a new task. Catastrophic forgetting means that teaching it a new task makes it un…

For questions such as the difference between typhoon and hurricane, ChatGPT and Claude give accurate answers in just a couple of seconds. It’s such a different experience compared …
