By definition, a black swan event cannot be predicted. It doesn't just mean "a larger fire" or "the event of a lifetime".

Your examples are cases in which you know what the bill is going to be before placing your order. With LLMs, you're paying per output token, not per request, yet you don't get all the tokens.

They offer both a subscription model and a lifetime purchase. Or that used to be the case, at least. But I agree that it feels like it's getting behind.

In softness I guess? Because I wouldn't consider any of the "B" series really matte :)

How do they compare with Faber Castell 9000? (I normally write with these, in HB or 2B hardness)

How are laptop GPUs these days in terms of energy consumption? My last experience was a while ago, but the battery drained fast with them active.

I only know the Uni system of a few European countries, but generally I would expect Philosophy to be a prerequirement that you take for your entrance examinations, not during studies per se (unless you're studying humanities, of course).

Taking propranolol in this case is, in fact, an example of being a functioning adult, and a solution that also works for oral examinations.

I would claim the difference between being rejected an API request and being potentially jailed/shot is significant.

Not WW2, but GPS depends on General Relativity to calculate time differences between satellite signals and ground correctly.

Not lawmakers in this case, but judges having no understanding of what they're ruling on.

How much is it spending in the Anthropic API so far?

The fact that the oldest current law in the list is about places where nuns are allowed to be buried is quite amusing, in some sort of way.

To be fair, the BOE website often offers the consolidated version for many important laws, which includes further amendments by other laws in one text.

It says it's OSS, but I can't find a link to the source code in the website, am I just being dense?

Having been both in academia and industry, to me Stephen always sounds too academic for business, but for academia, a mix of too "industry" and a crank.

Or accelerated, since development would have ceased to be restricted to Wolfram's employees

Isn't there already Maxima which is several decades old?

The golden ratio makes for even less balanced paper than sqrt(2)

Not closer to the spoken sounds, closer to English orthography.

This was my experience too, lots of cities to choose but all of them US-based. Not even London or Berlin. I'll wait and see :)

Wasn't Murex some sort of backend software for financial institutions?

I used my $20 welcome credit and the Orchestrator mode to generate a JUCE tutorial with kilocode.ai, hopefully I can use it as a base for teaching myself to code audio plugins.

Thankfully it's quite easy to go for several weeks without rebooting, but this is so annoying.

The purpose of a PhD is to certify that you're able to do independent research. Many researchers retrain (or just add a research interest) in adjacent fields during their postdocs or later. At that point it's just research.

This happens to me, but only while brain adapts to the new chemical balance. After that it's back to no remembering dreams.

Ugaritic certainly didn't remain readable and it was alphabetic. The only reason alphabetic systems remained readable is because they remained in use.

As an anecdote, there seems to be increasing evidence of correlation between infections by virii of the herpes family and dementia.

It is taking decades to achieve though!
