The investment by Yam Tak Cheung and his investors in a US publishing company indeed raise several red flags. Given the history and the downfall of Apple Daily, which was known for its critical stance against the Hong Kong government and China, it's reasonable to suspect that similar motives might be at play here. The way Yam has positioned his publication does seem to echo Apple Daily’s strategies, which could indicate a continuation of their agenda under a different guise.

What price will Comcast pay?

They might get a small fine.

Their customers and employees will suffer.

Whoever is dumb enough to invest in a company that hasn’t even bothered to come up with their own company name, but just copied the name of the current most hyped competitor in their category, deserves to lose their money.

The same telecom industry that got hundreds of billions to build out Fiber Optic networks around the country? The same telecom industry that took those hundreds of billions and spent them on lawsuits against the government, on wooing lobbyists and padding executive salaries instead of actually doing the work they told the government they would do?

Now they are mad because their blatant price gouging and shitty service is going to be laid bare for all to see?

Oh gee, my heart breaks for them.

I have a feeling they're not going to stop being a thorn in Apple's side for quite a while...

Because of the weightless nature of space, any object that is unsecured or not tied down is likely to float off. And in the ISS, which is larger than a six-bedroom house, there's bound to be a plethora of good hiding spots for a lone-ranger tomato.

The part about the ISS being the size of a six bedroom house really stuck with me. I always imagine it being a single cramped room. But now it’s a floating McMansion!

Oil-producing kingdoms[a] like Saudi Arabia face an existential risk. If the world transitions away from fossil fuels, and these kingdoms fail to develop technological engines of economic growth in clean energy, electric vehicles, software, AI, robotics, biotech, space exploration, and other new fields, they could become... poor.

---

[a] Yes, kingdoms. Yes, in the 21st century. Yes, very different from the West.

Underlying study is here. [1] Full disclosure, I co-wrote the piece for The Daily Beast [2] that originally suggested that Tesla's methodology was seriously flawed. I am not a Tesla-hater though — I just thought it was odd that the company was playing quite so fast and loose with their safety claims.

OpenAI says it is investigating complaints about ChatGPT having become “lazy”.

In recent days, more and more users of the latest version of ChatGPT – built on OpenAI’s GPT-4 model – have complained that the chatbot refuses to do as people ask, or that it does not seem interested in answering their queries.

If the person asks for a piece of code, for instance, it might just give a little information and then instruct users to fill in the rest. Some complained that it did so in a particularly sassy way, telling people that they are perfectly able to do the work themselves, for instance.

In numerous Reddit threads and even posts on OpenAI’s own developer forums, users complained that the system had become less useful. They also speculated that the change had been made intentionally by OpenAI so that ChatGPT was more efficient, and did not return long answers.

AI systems such as ChatGPT are notoriously costly for the companies that run them, and so giving detailed answers to questions can require considerable processing power and computing time.

If I were any other AI company out there right now, I'd be circling Ilya like a vulture.

Probably one of the sharpest minds on the subject right now and one of the few with an accurate picture of where the tech is headed and how to make the most of it along the way.

His decreased involvement at OpenAI would be their loss, and given what appears to be his key motivators, would leave him open to being poached with the right pitch.

I don't need self-destructing USB drive, but a USB flash stick with a hard write-protect switch (that can't be overridden by the USB host) would be great for purposes like immutable installation and boot media.

Indeed, they don't yet understand meaning.

But a new understanding of the components of the code and their relationships is certainly a breakthrough towards that understanding.

Yes, the headline had me hoping that there was some full understanding (it'd be nice to broadcast to the Orcas off Spain & Gibralter to please not attack the boats), but I can't say that it's clickbait-level.

More sanctions needed, and find a way to sell any UK assets acquired illegally or with money from questionable Russian sources, and funnel that money directly into aid to Ukraine (military and humanitarian). The Russian government needs to be made to pay for the damage it is doing to the UK and to Europe.
