TIL that the Addams family was originally a New Yorker comic en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Addam…
Good article about the DSA-2000, hopefully soon to be the most powerful radio telescope in the world. The bitter lesson of radio astronomy is that we just need to keep scaling the number of dishes! pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/o…
"The fix is correct - the test expectation was wrong." Lies
The formal Turing Test still has not been passed, for a reason that I would never have suspected 15 years ago: that demonstrating your AI is good at misleading people would be bad PR

The AIs finally beat my IMO score. I'm a bit sad... but it would have been more disappointing if AI had stopped making progress. Now it's exciting. What will we be able to build or discover with the tool of superhuman math AI?

It’s funny how many different things the GLP-1 drugs improve. It’s like drinking a potion of +1 Constitution
As a baby I had pyloric stenosis. A valve in your intestine is too tight and food can’t get through. Before Conrad Ramstedt figured how to fix this via surgery in 1911, it was a death sentence. Nowadays, it’s a simple surgery with a survival rate of nearly 100%.

Dating app idea: no swiping or anything like that, you just chat with an AI who has the personality of a friendly little old matchmaker lady, and she sets you up with someone who would be a good match for you
People should unit test their documentation by giving an LLM a set of prompts and testing that it works. "Read this documentation and implement X."
This... actually makes sense. If stablecoins work, why not stockcoins? Crypto could let random people on the internet bet on startups that are private, even if the startups themselves don't have anything to do with crypto.
We need a YIMBY-NIMBY compromise, where we upzone the areas that are furthest below their potential, like the Mission and West Oakland. But we keep the nice places unchanged, like Marin and Orinda. Enforce it at the state level. YISEBY: Yes, in someone else’s back yard.
The weird thing about publicly-owned national forest is that a lot of it is *currently* being logged by private timber companies. There isn't much difference between selling the land to a logging company, and maintaining ownership but selling timber contracts.
Such a scam, Windows trying to sell you things on startup with the default button being “buy”. Now I need to warn my children never to trust anything this Microsoft company says.
Interesting theme in common with recent events in Ukraine, surprise drone attacks taking out more-expensive conventional equipment before it can be activated.
