There is the Republic of Ireland, not in UK, and Northern Ireland, in UK.


And Apple's "haven" is in Republic of Ireland, so no, not UK.


fyi, if you see Ireland or Irish mentioned it nearly always refers to the Republic of Ireland.


Following up on Boaz Barak's comment quoted in this article, my best local model did get the answer to the kiwi problem correct when I changed the system prompt from "You are my helpful AI assistant." to "This is a math exam."


For me the dealbreaker on Graphene was inability to record my phone conversations. I went back to Lineage.


GrapheneOS can record phone calls just fine, there is a record button in the dialer.


I can confirm this, and will add: on my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, I have to scroll down the "6 pack" of buttons on the in-call screen to reveal the record call button. There is no UI hint that these buttons are within a scrollable element, so discoverability is poor.


Vision language models are blind because they lack the Cartesian Theater, which you and I have. Which you and I say we have.


May as well argue that they can’t really know things because they lack an immortal soul.


Does the part of you that 'looks at' your cartesian theatre also have a cartesian theatre?

Also, fraud.


Here are audio recordings from actual conversations I had with scammers trying to pull a "family member in distress" scam:

No HTTPS? Hmm, it's been awhile on that.


A true control seems impossible for any "breathwork" study; anyone doing regimented breathing knows that they are doing something. And placebos work, whether you believe in them or not (say the studies ...)


If you can't show that a specific breathing exercise is somehow better than an essentially random breathing exercise, then it doesn't matter what kind of breathing exercises you do.

If you can't show that a breathing exercise is better than e.g. same time spent on stretching, then there's not much point in doing (separate) breathing exercises at all.


Typo "signiGicant" in abstract.


This could be an unfortunate oversight in an otherwise stellar document, but it biases me to question the entire outcome. If they can't even complete the abstract correctly, what other error is in this paper?


What do you mean by "cutting state-level university funding down to nothing over the last 15 years"?


I mean exactly that. Every state in the country reduced funding to their public university system during the 2008 financial crisis. 32/50 states have yet to restore that funding. Universities must make up for the shortage by increased tuition and increased reliance on international students (who pay significantly more).

Ivy League colleges aren't meant to educate the masses, but people somehow aren't able to come to terms with that. Your kid is significantly more likely to find a place at the local U, but now they must take crazy loans for it and compete with a rich chinese kid for the spot, all while you are fighting big bad Harvard.


This appears to be your source [0]. I'm posting it because it's easier to have a conversation about the full report than about your extracts from the report.

"Exactly that" hardly. Reducing funding to a level of a year ago is hardly "nothing" and most states didn't even go that far.


It's not quite that bad, but UC/ Cal State tuition used to be next to nothing. In my mother's time it was effectively free. Now your out 14k for a UC and 8k for a Cal State.


Tuition at uc/cal state is free for residents, by law.

You must mean “fees”

:(


Listen to episode 157 of the excellent podcast "Blocked and Reported" before you think this is real.


Oh my. Yes, there is more than meets the eye here.
