Because that editor was installed in order to be able to censor CBS. They also bought Tiktok, and are trying to buy other media companies in order to be able to better control the flow of information.


Oh god, I'm sure I wouldn't come close to 50%; that's so hard to read


It's tough but my dad is quite good at it. He has books of common abbreviations and agglutinations from different centuries. After you get used to it it's faster and very fun.

We were mind blown how good Gemini was at it.


I am too. Gemini 3.0 fast on old scrawled diary entries in English from 100+ years ago got them 95% right. It also added historical context when I prefaced the images with the identity of the writer, such as summaries of an old military unit history in Europe post-WW1 it got from a very obscure U.S. Army archive.

Huge timesaver.


Same! I want to do some data stuff from documents and 2.0 pricing was amazing, but the constant increases go the wrong way for this task :/


Wait so quantum is going to actually deliver something useful within the next 10-20 years??


Hope they don't confuse her boat and blow her up :/


She made it to Oslo and is celebrating her peace prize by calling for an invasion

Love this! Would have liked to see something like textract for a pre-LLM benchmark (but of course that's expensive), and also a distinction between handwritten text and printed one.

But still, this is incredibly useful!


A lot of comments here about how diversity is great etc etc. Yes, but also a lot of people value consistency. Now that Win10 is gone and people are reluctant to use Win11, it would be a great opportunity to switch. Yet even I am still reluctant to switch entirely (after using Linux as my daily driver some years ago) due to the lack of UI/UX consistency (I have to use Ubuntu at work; have Mint in my jellyfin pc at home, and even between those there are a lot of annoying differences)


Same here. My three-year old loved maps and we always played with them (making map of her room, etc etc)

We enrolled her at the local Montessori and she rushed to the map section but was told she is forbidden from using it until she takes the lesson on that or whatever is called. That lesson was 2-3 months away, and meanwhile all other kids were able to play with the maps.

This, combined with other rigidities and a crazy schedule totally unsuited for working parents (9-1pm wtf) made it impossible. After struggling a lot for two months, she went back to her old daycare and was very happy there, and is now at her elementary school now


I’m by far not an expert on it (my wife is, she teaches Montessori), but AFAIK what you observed was because it isn’t viewed as play, but as work - as in school work. All of the activities are called “works,” and they’re taken very seriously.

Part of this is, I think, to teach responsibility; for example, if a student gets a work out, they’re expected to put it back exactly how they found it. Montessori classrooms are incredibly well-organized, with everything having its (labeled) place.


Update: I asked my wife, she said that without other context, it sounded like the school may not be “following the child,” a core tenet of Montessori. She said that while they might steer a new student away from that initially, if they’re clearly interested, she’ll bump that lesson up early instead of when it was scheduled.


Can you share where your wife learned the Montessori method from?


Center for Montessori Teacher Education/North Carolina. They don’t have the greatest website, but they’re MACTE-accredited, and AMS-affiliated.


That kinda misses the point for me. I use LLMs a lot and have become an invaluable part of my work (coding, collecting data, proof-reading text) and even personal time (amazing Japanese menu translator!).

But I still think they can "fail" in the sense that current investments need an absurd amount of profits in order to have a positive NPV. Data centers depreciate fast, so if you just did $500bn in capex, you better make sure you will get $50bn/yr out of it from the get go or you will fail.

And that's the problem; even if sales are high, all vendors are bleeding money and so far the offerings are commoditized enough that I can't see how they will recoup their investment.


So long as there is a reasonable earning potential, or actually a reasonable expectation that the market will expect a decent earning potential the capital will be there.

Unlike crypto (which has yet to fail as a category, just dips), the elephants taking up the tens of billions in investments aren't purely speculative pyramid schemes.


Quick q what does "yield" mean here?

Also, in which currency are these returns? Because forex shifts (which for sure happened on oct10) mess up the observed returns quite a bit


It's what E-Trade lists for dividend yield or SEC yield. I have no idea if it's before or after exchange to USD. The total return is from totalrealreturns.com, it accounts for USD inflation and includes yield (at least I think), but probably didn't include the Oct 10 drop itself.
