> that “extra” is going to be somewhat school and school system dependent Is it? That’s news to me. I grew up thinking it was standard to just have 5 grade points for honors and AP classes. I guess the nuance comes into the bar for a cla

Interesting idea, but look at it from the applicant’s perspective: you’d have to front like $50,000 to apply to just 5 schools (if you call $10k the average price for a semester). Even if you solved the financial aid question here, admissio

They sorta do: each comment on a discussion starts a thread you can reply to, unlike on issues where you have to keep quoting each other to track a topic if there’s more than one. It still sucks, especially since long threads are collapsed

So does OpenAI (last I checked) which I sadly learned the hard way.

Signal has a desktop app. Unless you mean phone number , in which case I get where you’re coming from, though I think they allow just usernames now.

Because both Ukraine and Russia have changed? Ukraine is war torn, deeply in debt, and no longer provides the strategic benefit to Russia it might’ve in ‘22. Russia’s economy and populace needs to recover from being war-oriented. They have

That doesn’t answer the “why?” at all. To what end?

Why would Russia bother going through this again?

Pretty sure Ukraine shelled its own people for ~6 years before that.

As long as someone else does the fighting, right? Last I checked, the majority of Ukrainians themselves want a quick end to the war. [1]: https://news.gallup.com/poll/653495/half-ukrainians-quick-ne...

Nothing to lose besides thousands more lives, of course.

Ukraine has lost massive amounts of lives, territory, and foreign funding under his leadership; Zelensky effectively has zero negotiating power. Where are the voices that simply want the war to end so people stop dying? It’s easy to say bul

Seems like a massive buried lede in an “outperforms the previous SoTA” paper.

How does generating images with 90% less pixels count as beating DALL•E?

It’s not better than o1. And given that OpenAI is on the verge of releasing o3, has some “o4” in the pipeline, and Deepseek could only build this because of o1, I don’t think there’s as much competition as people seem to imply. I’m excite

I agree with many of your points but not your parallel, entirely: > I haven't ever felt like the federal government represents me. Most of the time the US federal government acts against my interests while pursuing the interests of

By this same rationale (dependence), Biden could end the war with one phone call, too.

Needing a smartphone to figure out if your power tool is charging is moronic and a complete waste of human resources in the engineering involved.

I suppose if you think of it as a high-end MacBook Pro + display, it’s an easier pill to swallow.

If you haven't heard, there's an official iOS app[1], so that's probably a far more efficient/private alternative to a custom bot. [1]: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/openai-chatgpt/id644831

a $10M portfolio with 10% annual gains (tweak the numbers as you’d like, it’s still fairly reasonable for the “wealthy”, I think)

So do you: it’s called a job. And you still have to worry about traffic/accidents, performing well, getting fired or laid off, getting berated by customers/clients/bosses, plus any number of additional anxiety-inducing events

Of course, but NPR's origins are from a government-controlled organization.

> Yes, Internet companies will have to go to court more. That's a good thing. Isn’t this textbook regulatory capture? Only companies that can afford to go to court will continue to exist. Or move to IPFS, I guess. We should do a bet
