Who needs cashflow when you have sucker venture capitalists?

And yet YOU, dear reader, are more profitable than Anthropic and OpenAI combined.

Unfortunately, the acronym for "Not In Anyone's Back Yard" doesn't sound appropriately connected to NIMBY/YIMBY.

Threads has coined the term "AI;DR" for just such an occasion.

There are some fascinating hypothesised factors, like modern cars being close to impossible to steal, which eliminates one kind of gang activity. Or that gatherings of young people are more mixed-gender than in the past, so there is less chance that testosterone-fuelled violence will break out.

Is it an AI company logo?

It does seem like he's doing less explaining as time goes by.

I heard about it. Nothing happens in Kilmore, so I'd be surprised if it didn't make the news.

It wasn't a mosque yet, though. It was still a decommissioned church. I noticed the story because my grandfather was the minister of that church in the 1940s.

Aesop: I TOLD YOU

I'm quoting a colleague, but yes.

A colleague commented this morning that the Iran war feels vibe coded. I can't stop thinking about this.

The ones we usually call "integers" can be qualified as "rational integers", which sounds like a contradiction in terms.

Yeah, it was just a silly back-of-the-envelope thing because I was curious about just how much the economy of scale actually scales. I was surprised, too.

Trains are MASS transit.

I once did a back-of-the-envelope calculation. A full commuter train powered by brown coal has a lower CO2e per passenger-km (or mile if you must) than a bike rider powered by bananas.

Obviously, it has to be a full train.

Clearing up a couple of misconceptions:

1. There are plenty of businesses like showbusiness.
2. The show need not go on.

I only regret, that I have but one upvote to give.

Juvenal would be proud.

Honestly, couldn't be worse than the tomatoes we get in Australian supermarkets right now.

After this, i is now pointing at an aligned subsequence of four floats that you can do the vector comparison trick on.

This is the fastest way I've found to do this kind of search on modern hardware, assuming that you can't exploit the distribution of y somehow (e.g. bucketing).

If you have a lot of floats and you need to binary search, you can use this variant:

unsigned logl = ceil_log_2(y.size());
int i = 0;
for (unsigned k = 1 << (logl-1); k > 4; k >>= 1) {
int t = i + k;
if (yt >= y[t]) i = t; // Conditional move instruction
}

For the array search part, don't forget that vector instructions exist these days.

With SSE2, for example, you can do four 32-bit float comparisons in parallel, _mm_movemask to put the result in an integer register, then bsr/bsf on that. ARM Neon has all this too.

2. The nature of the companies that make it. But less US Robotics, and more Mom's Friendly Robot Company or the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

Describing AI marketers as "a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes" is... interesting.

Comedy sci-fi made better predictions about the early stages of AI than "hard" sci-fi did:

1. How annoying the products would be. Like, nobody actually wants a Talkie Toaster.
