Sure that was why there was never really a business case for Concorde, but ……

• I would pay a little more to get there a little faster. Research is not only trying to quiet the boom but also trying to make it more economical.
• I believe the company listed there is focusing on private jets. Someone who can afford a private jet might be more likely to pay a premium to get there faster

I can’t speak for all LLMs but the ones I use

• web based LLM cites its sources. You can just click
• coding LLM tends to have obvious sources (for example if I tell it to use a vendor API to do something, I know there’s API documentation as the source of truth and the script is just like the example I would previously have found on StackOverflow.com).

And yes, I frequently check its work and iterate through telling it to

But why? If you try to be objective, how is this any different from an op Ed or other published article? Those are good starting points as well, but also shouldn’t be published as your work or trusted as is.

The problem with LLMs is not when people use them as a tool, but when they use inappropriately, blindly trust them or treat them as a final result instead of thinking, reviewing, or adding value.

I don’t know about going that far - LLMs can be a great starting point …. As long as you click through to the sources rather than blindly accept

Just like with cars. If you always have to have the latest and greatest, need to be seen with “the best”, replace your phone frequently then yes leasing is cheaper than buying. This would be stupid but people seem to do this

My company fixed even more bugs “with” ai during June. Because of AI project Glasswing and the fear of looking stupid, I was finally able to get priority for updating everything. All the tools, all the dependencies, all the programming languages are now on supported versions. Even the most legacy projects are now up to date. Tens of thousands of bugs fixed.

Farley talks a good game but has always been full of shit. If he agrees that ford needs to turn around to compete with new technology, he should talk to the CEO about it

Where’s that conviction when you gave up on EVs instead of trying to improve your own technology? Where have their ever been ford EVs that normal people could buy? What about those for employees eager to jump to new technology when you shut down their factories?

And seriously, they’re competitive with Chinese cars in Europe because they resell Geelys (Chinese cars)? What kind of bs is that?

What about swasticars and Bezos mobiles?

Not that it’s stopped them before but is this even legal? When congress allocated money toward cancer research, you can’t legally redirect it to proving renewable energy is bad for the environment or all vaccines cause autism

Bold ideas, no need for scientific value

The article also talks about a spinoff of AlphaFold……

I didn’t click into what that spinoff was but maybe an even better headline is “for profit company creates a free AI to predict protein folding and is moving to monetize it”

Are we reading the same article?

The incident took place at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport in January 2025

So the important takeaway is to delete your phone before customs. Presumably you have an encrypted backup you can restore without too much effort

I’m not saying I agree with it, just that it’s always been so

We don’t need hyperbole here …. If authorities have a legal reason to search and you interfere with that, destruction of evidence is a crime. Delete all you want …. Right up until authorities claim the legal reason to search. Usually that takes a warrant: investigators must convince a judge there is a good reason

This also includes “when entering the country”. It always has. There’s nothing new here. There are so many things the current administration does to violate rights and due process, but this isn’t one of them.

The slippery slope here is “or within 100 miles”, but that wasn’t a factor here either

Cool!

That changed this year. Tesla enabled adaptive headlights this spring and I read that Rivian did more recently. Audi is in process but can’t do it with an over the air software update

At least in my state, the annual inspection is supposed to check headlight alignment. However I’ve never heard of anyone getting a fail on that so I doubt they do

Yes adaptive headlights are excellent. It’s finally coming to the US. I believe Tesla and Rivian have them and Audi is in the process.

It is definitely entertaining driving around with them on, watching the dark spot follow oncoming traffic

I’ve also seen referential self-leveling headlights but never paid attention to what those are

Given that many things, including reflectors, reflect light directly back, yes it is beneficial to have the headlights close to the drivers sightline
