The surface book had what you mention, it's a laptop with a detachable keyboard, and it can be attached to the keyboard in normal laptop orientation or reversed just like a tablet on a stand. Can be used as a standalone tablet with pen/touch input, or a normal laptop.

Pretty great device, it's unfortunate Microsoft discontinued it.

What makes you think they don't?

The breakdown for AI usage is four categories though, not three. While the first three are negatively correlated with increased usage, the one for using AI "to help me learn" is much more flat when it comes to usage frequency.

There are probably various metrics like language used to prompt the model, number of hours per day spent prompting, and many others.

There are quite a few other mitigations that could be done by providers that aren't mentioned in the article.

Why would it be bureaucracy? In places with universal healthcare, you go to the doctor, show your card, then go to your appointment. Go to the pharmacy with your script, show your card and pay whatever is left to pay, if any.

That's it. No open enrollment, no surprise bills, no trying to figure out which ppo or hmo works best, no wondering if it's in network or not or any of that BS.

Part of the issue is that KSI events are so rare, and it's the same issue that AV companies face. If it takes you millions of miles to encounter a single event, how can you even start to quantify the rate of events, and even prove a different rate?

To scale it in human terms, say that you're a human driver and you're 2x better than the average human driver. If you wanted to prove that you're better than the average driver, you'd need to drive multiple hundreds of millions of miles to statistically demonstrate so.

Given that the rate is significantly lower for taxi drivers in aggregate, to prove that they're safer than taxi drivers if Waymo is 2x safer, they'd still need to drive multiple billions of miles to statistically prove that they're safer.

The base weights can't be updated but from what I recall it allows adding a low rank adapter to customize the model a little bit.

I can't recall the last time that it was useful knowledge when writing code. Reservoir sampling, online softmax, Otsu, sure, Tianenmen square not really.

The cost isn't about the actual mileage though, it's having two paramedics each earning about 100k/yr per ambulance, while having coverage 24x7x365. So fully loaded, the labor for one ambulance might be in the high six figures to seven figures.

The article argues the exact opposite:

> The standard answer is greed: rapacious ambulance operators, owned by villainous private equity firms, exploit patients at their most helpless. But I don’t think that’s actually what’s going on. Ambulance providers are chronically unprofitable businesses; margins are thin, crews are underpaid, and operators exit the industry every year.

> No CFO approves a $1.4 million annual commitment on the strength of a chart showing that the commitment scales.

Except the company probably approved a budget for AWS or another cloud provider, and basically gave a blank check to developers to deploy whatever is needed. So developers are going to just deploy MSK or whatever is trendy, instead of trying to get the most throughput from the servers they got from IT.

No real feedback other than it's pretty awesome. It'd be cool to have a version of the display above the doors that shows the upcoming stations, but I'm not sure in practice if that would be that useful since I assume most people would have that in the background as you point out.

It's also kind of hard to know if you already know someone who could give you an invite, since I don't really know the online handles of people I know in meatspace. I've resigned myself to maybe someday getting something posted that gets picked up there and asking for an invite at that time.

The RSS feeds though are pretty neat, it's what I use to fetch articles for archiving so that I can get a curated set of things to read on the go.
