They might need to do some vibe refactoring.

Are those gas plants not peakers? It seems wild to me there is 5gw of curtailment while there is 16gw of gas going. Surely the grid could use some more storage capacity.

It would be interesting to see if this could be combined with those little sidewalk bots to do the last mile, effectively having the Waymos act like buses for the bots.

I’m curious about how you confirmed some things you wrote were in the dataset.

When Node was just getting big I met Mikael for the first time at some Node event or another. It’s hard to overstate or forget how welcoming he was, always excited to see folks, and the one getting the energy of the room going.

The more time I spent with Mikael the more I saw him doing all the small things that needed doing for a community, or an event. Even just hanging out Mikael was always so considerate and tried to make things special for everyone.

He will be missed.

Also “England” but the shape is the UK.

I think this is a great point. The author seems to have a selection bias. All the “great” problems in maths are the ones that have remained hard to solve.

All the stuff in the middle has been solved and then taught and is no longer “interesting”. Or, are we build on those results the new problems are a bit further from the fundamentals so you have to look in specific more specialized domains to find new areas.

What the author seems to forget is that most of the stuff we take for granted now were at one point the cutting edge of maths and obscure to all but the leading mathematicians of the time.

Is that based on the average level of maths at the time? I would argue that there are far more mathematicians now who understand the results from that period now than there were then because our mathematical literacy, especially in higher education and in the developing world has increased significantly.

The fact that those results are easier to understand is because of our increased literacy. Trigonometry was the cutting edge of maths at one point and math literacy was even less then. Now it’s material for tweens.

I think this is one of those examples where many people wouldn’t think about botulism because both garlic and oil are common and store safely out of the fridge uncombined.

Things like meat people might be more skeptical about, but imo this goes back to do Google, et al really trust their LLMs to give definitive answers on food safety. If it were me this would be one area I’d have the LLM refuse or hedge all answers like with other sensitive topics.

If the phone was locked, passcoded, remote erased and sim-locked how did they know her number? I’m not doubting the story I’m just curious how they figured that out.

Sam Altman holds.. no degree? So presumably using their academic qualifications as a basis for their eligibility for the board of OpenAI is as silly as using Mr Altman’s?

Would you give him the benefit of the doubt as an “AI expert” because of his well know work experience at YC? Without discussing their careers at all this comment seems at best unhelpful.
