Thanks for pointing that out, they’re actually tied for second-to-last. As for % tested, states that don’t mandate the ACT tend to have higher performance in general. They don’t have as compelling of a need for the mandate, and they have ma

The main changes to reading instruction were made around 2013, and math instruction in 2016. I wouldn’t expect a decrease in ACT scores 12 and 9 years later respectively, even when considering that it takes some time for instructors to ma

Mississippi's average ACT scores are tied for last (edit: tied for second to last). I’m sure some of their educational outcomes are improving, but the demographic-adjusted stats from elementary school students are misleading. Holding k

The market ultimately determines the discount, not the company. In a competitive market, some of the gains from Apple’s change will accrue to the consumer, and some will accrue to the developer. What % goes to whom depends on demand elastic

For Plus users the limits are: o3-mini-high: 50 messages per week (just like o1, but it seems like these are non-shared limits, so you can have 50 messages per week with o1, run out, and still have 50 messages with o3-mini-high to use) o3-m

I don’t think early AGI will break out of its box in that way. It may not have enough innate motivation to do so. The first “break out” AGI will likely be released into the wild on purpose by a programmer who equates AGI with humans ideolog

If the first AGI is a very uneconomical system with human intelligence but knowledge of literally everything and the capability to work 24/7, then it is not human equivalent. It will have human intelligence, superhuman knowledge, super

AGI will commoditize the skills of the owning class. To some extent it will also commoditize entire classes of productive capital that previously required well-run corporations to operate. Solve for the equilibrium.

You have so much time to figure things out. The average person in this thread is probably 1.5-2x your age. I wouldn’t stress too much. AI is an amazing tool. Just use it to make hay while the sun shines, and if it puts you out of work and a

The nice thing about capitalism is that it doesn’t care what a company wants (in a properly functioning non-monopolistic market. I’d say that the international market for automobiles is more functional than not, despite some degree of subsi

You are correct, and there are genetic studies to back you up. Modern day Egyptians have substantial continuity from ancient Egypt. Even in Ancient Egypt, there was trade and mixture with people from the Levant, but that didn’t massively ch

Sometimes contentment is followed by a good partner, not caused by one. To reach that state of contentment usually requires some mix of effort and satisfaction with the outcomes of that effort and ultimately your confidence in your ability

Often in America the government waits for something to fail miserably before engaging in a high effort high cost activity that requires a lot of coordination and public buy-in.

I assume the two would be discernible from each other in your brain data to a sufficiently advanced AI. One is your visual stream and one is your visual imagination. On top of that would be signatures of intention to deceive, which are also

Florence is absolutely not a tourist trap. It is a beautiful city that was one of the wealthiest republics in Renaissance Italy. Great art (Uffizi Gallery is amazing) and architecture (i.e. Duomo) abounds. It is an essential visit in Italy

That just depends on where your focus is. If the safety issue is much more salient, you’re not as prone to recognize the humorous aspect of the situation. If you see the image on a meme page, you’re already primed for comedy.

Ars tried and failed to reproduce the text, and then assumed that OpenAI closed a loophole when in fact they may have changed nothing - it’s just that NYT hired a team of experts to make tens of thousands of attempts to break the normal beh

It’s beating loose slander with less loose slander. Seems fair game to me: “ OpenAI believes that it took tens of thousands of attempts to get ChatGPT to produce the controversial output that’s the basis of this lawsuit. This is not how nor

Genuine question: you don’t think that outlier analysis (with moderate diligence) would have picked up the error in the original study, despite the plotting library issue? Just look at this link - this wasn’t detectable with any type of cro

In my opinion, this thinking is wholesale incorrect and actually terrifies me more. Yes, there is global warming. Yes, it is extremely concerning, and leads to countless endangerment, extinction, and coastal/island loss etc…it will cos

Bizarre. How do people make such big, splashy findings that can mess with people’s sense of optimism about science and innovation, without doing the simplest types of checks on their data and methodology.

MicroLEDs will fuel the next display revolution and are smaller than some bacteria. They can eventually achieve the perfect pixel density for AR/VR while having better display characteristics than even OLEDs.
