Last couple times over the border the officers have pointed a camera at me (travelling on US passport), so I assume my mug is in there. Seems completely routine and universal at airports now? I wonder if the original passport photo has simi

For any book popular enough to have be put into GPT training data, you can get a summary without uploading it. The idea that these big, corporate models (their "intellectual property" if you will) have been trained on data they do

Testing and development by an actual operational airline, but running into regulation and certification issues. Could be a while even for this relatively narrow use case of seaplane flights of under an hour duration. Interesting update. ht

100% agree. I've been a remote since 2009 (!!) and although it is entirely my "normal" I do remember that it was nice to have co-workers and the rhythms of standard work day. I am a much lonelier person than I was before.
