I was under the impression a compact resurrected the session anyway so it is not a good idea on a cold session. Is that true or is it actually cheaper?

Neal Stephenson - Anathem is great and not an easy reader. I enjoyed most of his other books but that one was the complexity sweet spot for me.

Umberto Eco and Ursula Le Guin I agree on.

If it's only proofreading text you've written, the changes will be minimal enough that watermarking seems impossible to me.

Right, but I don't think consumers would consider this "intelligence". It's too dumb.

Sets lights to 30% but also off

> Turn the lights low in the bedroom

Sets lights to on

This is a cool idea but I think humans assume more than 14MB of intelligence. This is like the unhelpful guard in the swamp castle of Monty Python's Holy Grail

I'd suggest writing by hand as a proof of work, for now at least!

Sounds interesting but the blog seems hijacked by some advert to me, anyone else?

If that study was of submariners, is it possible long-term high-level exposure causes the body to adapt?

I am suspicious of 0.1% having a significant effect though, given oxygen is around 20% and we naturally exhale a couple of percent CO2.

I think he's doing 15% every month, not every year. It's not an implausible growth rate for a unicorn startup; it is implausible to expect it.

I've been thinking about this, and I think software is uniquely knowledge work that has the most defined structure and least personally interaction. Hell, some of the software I write is for machine to talk to other machines. It's not surprising such a closed system is so amenable to AI, and other knowledge workers are not getting the same benefits.

I miss Iain M Banks. Thanks for this lovely little nod to the Culture

I think you are (informally and correctly) doing Bayes theorem here. The prior is combined with the conditional to give the posterior estimate; the conditional is not itself the estimate.

> Our support flow wasn't set up to route a complex bug like this to engineering.

What does that even mean? Does it mean, "our support flow is just an LLM that fobs off customers and puts their issues into the bin"? Or is there some genuine "routing" of simple bugs to engineering which accidentally drops "complex" bugs? Could you drescibe that process, it sounds fascinating?

Also, how is changing a customer's billing based on detecting a certain string in a certain place a "complex" bug? Grep the string, remove the if statement, done. I'd love a post-mortem about why this was a complex bug.

More questions than answers here Thariq.

If there is oversupply, why are retailers forced to rent and not able to purchase at the depressed market price?

(My theory, landlords are holding onto property in the hope of future returns rather than making a currently rational sale, and doing specific things like holding units empty or 364 day leases to avoid revaluations)
