As a shareholder I am up 75% in a year. Alphafold gained experience makes them better suited to succeed with Isomorphic Labs than anyone else. Research on improved translation gave us the transformer. If you think AI will win but Google wil

This is inaccurate. The displayed reasoning traces are summaries, but the model thinks in nominally regular human languages. AI labs are very light on details (as they consider them as their "edge"), but both GPT5.5 and Claude Myt

Google will happily send from smtp.gmail.com, after verifying that you own that email. You won’t get DKIM, but Google’s reputation is enough to make the mail land in people’s inboxes.

When the US sanctioned Hong Kong’s Chief Executive in 2020, because of a law allowing extradition to China, no single bank was letting her open an account, including Chinese ones. She was receiving her salary fully in cash. The EU compellin

It’s not an America only problem, we are similarly affected. So is every other country on earth. In Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Malta, Ireland obesity ranges from 38%–31% and it’s rising. On an individual level the solution is food and exerc

They are! Russia has been fining Google increasingly insane amounts for blocking state media [1]. It's the company's prerogative of whether they want to have a legal entity falling under the country's jurisdiction and whether

This seems slightly inconsistent with them testing all cartel member's bulbs and fining those who surpassed 1000 hours. If shorter-lasting bulbs were better looking and more efficient their fining mechanism would be energy efficiency &

A team at OpenAI tried to do something similar [1] where they had a 4o monitor o3-mini for when it was tryting to bypass tests because they were too hard. They trained o3-mini and punished it when it did that. All that did was make o3-mini

One of my favourite suggestions to counter this from an essay on overfitting I really like [1] is that applicant's probability of being accepted is proportional to their position in the ranking. The downside is that some great applican

I've checked my DNS logs and there hasn't been a single hit against ocsp.apple.com over the last year, but around 20-30 hits for ocsp2.apple.com per day per device. (iphone, macMini, macbook) Just blocking ocsp2.apple.com is proba

Hinton, Bengio, Stuart Russell and other behemoths voice similar concerns over AI, with enough confidence to switch their careers (e.g. Bengio now doing safety research at Mila, Ilya Sutskever switching from capabilities to alignment at Ope

Ylva Johansson, the EU commissioner who proposed that (apparently failing [1]) law, has used Meta’s model behaviour in reporting CSAM material to NCMEC & EU authorities as the justification for why that law should exist. Considering it

I just want to underscore that. DeepMind's research output within the last month is staggering: 2023-11-14: GraphCast, word leading weather prediction model, published in Science 2023-11-15: Student of Games: unified learning algorithm

My strong assumption is that the majority of times that people toggle off Wi-Fi, is to temporarily resolve connection issues. Keeping it off permanently is probably not what they want. The UI warns you of the temporary nature too. Those who

Few people would choose a life of crime as a hobby, or if it wasn't paying much better than an average entry-level office job, so it's not like someone decides to resort to crime and then later considers the financial aspects. Mos

OpenAI has trained a model to solve Math Olympiad-type problems[1], with some initial success, but currently the model isn't good at coming up with proofs involving more than a couple arguments chained together. Still some very impress

But since, once you spent the $10, they are now somebody else’s income, namely for the person/company you bought from. Which means that now, by simply summing everyone’s incomes, you have an accurate count of GDP, without ever consider
