All we need is native Excel support, and HTML5 web support. In web browsers it should be the default copy formatting, and if you’re writing an HTML document these characters should be an alternative to using TD and TR tags.
Millionaire class? The article describes a small business owner who wants to retire. Meanwhile, the private equity firms are going to monopolize the market and raise prices. Sadly, none of the 20 or 30 year olds who are actually doing the work will be able to buy out their owners business.
Any young tradespeople: form a coop and buy your bosses business. Better to be a 10% owner than 0%.
Vertical integration is not monopolistic. A dairy farm can make great ice cream, like McConnell’s or Strauss. Apple’s acquisition of Beats is maybe the one that shouldn’t have been allowed since they were in competition for headphones. Most of their other acquisitions are pretty small companies with specific integrations into Apple products or services.
Not even close. LLMs can spew word salad. Images can be classified or dreamt. Physical movements can be iterated and refined. Speech can be processed as text. These are components of intelligence but these are all things that most animals can do, apart from the language.
Intelligence generally requires something more. Intelligence needs to be factual, curious, and self-improving. If you told me ChatGPT rewrote itself, or suggested new hardware to improve efficiency, that’s intelligence. You’ll know we have AGI when the algorithm is the one asking the questions about physics, mathematics, finding knowledge gaps, and developing original hypothesis and experiments. Not even close.
Chanterelles are not a great example as their look-alikes are easily distinguishable. Furthermore, they exist in symbiosis/parasitism with particular tree roots as a host. When you return to the same spot you’re harvesting new fruiting bodies of the same organism that you visited last time.
Some people can’t deal with collaborative decisions, if the group is wrong. He started xAi because OpenAI didn’t care that GPT had no logic or factual accuracy. I don’t like Musk but I actually agree with him on this one. In that sense, I think Wolfram Alpha is a better “AI” assistant than anything else that’s come along so far.
When plugged in to a computer, it would be cool if it reverts to being a smart display with touch screen. It could still charge and transfer files too maybe? I don’t know enough about USB-C, but I really wish devices could do dual function like this.
If we spam critical EM frequencies drones may fall out of the sky. For example a laser pointer may overwhelm optical sensors, while ultrasonic distance sensors are often used to determine height and proximity to obstacles. Some pilot software may fail gracefully, by safely flying blind and landing gently - but I’m guessing most will fail spectacularly.
Legacy keyboard shortcuts are still supported in Excel for menus long gone. For example Alt EAF is clear all formatting, and Alt EAA is clear all (values and formats).
I’d really like to see something like this optimized for regular subtitles usefulness, rather than for attention grabbing. Two subtle changes from regular subtitles to make it more fluid. First the words appear as they are spoken and from near the mouth (if on screen). From that point they fly down to form the phrase or sentence at the bottom of the screen. It would help avoid comedic spoilers when the punchline is out before it’s spoken. Ideally the AI processing could just happen real-time during playback, by looking at the existing subtitles and then refining the timing of each word using the audio and video.
Agreed. When I type a good word that isn’t accepted, I usually just stop playing that days puzzle. My guess is that Sam is not very scientifically literate. Simple weather words like cyclonic or adiabatic, advection, no dice. And then you get some pretty obscure literary words.
Makes me want to make a free clone that includes science words, and isn’t afraid of the letter S.
