Weren’t there well over 100 launched, most of which were intercepted by Ukraine, and 20 made it into Polish airspace?

I thoroughly enjoyed their Toronto show on that tour. To be fair it was the first time I’d seen them in concert so I didn’t have any points of comparison.

I also hadn’t really clued in to just how political they were until seeing their visuals, which I also thought added a lot. Surely not everyone’s cup of tea though.


ST is not electron..


My (somewhat elderly) father only refers to it as ChatGBT and when I tried to get to the bottom of why he said it’s because “thats what it’s called in my phone”.

Seems pretty scammy to me, akin to typo squatting with potential to collect a lot more personal information but he can’t always be reasoned with.

Hopefully he heeds my advice to not provide anything personal.


To maybe save others some time METR is a group called Model Evaluation and Threat Research who

> propose measuring AI performance in terms of the length of tasks AI agents can complete.

Not that hard to figure out but the way people refer were referring to them made me think it stood for an actual metric.


Depends on who exactly you’re trying to convince.


“Played piano acceptably.”


To the downvoter — this is a quote from the liner notes of one of his albums, where he published middling to damning reviews of his concert lol.

Is it the redundancy? Or is it because markup is a more natural way to annotate language, which obviously is what LLMs are all about?

Genuinely curious, I don’t know the answer. But intuitively JSON is nice for easy to read payloads for transport but to be able to provide rich context around specific parts of text seems right up XML’s alley?


The lack of inline context is a failing of JSON and a very useful feature of XML.

Two simple but useful examples would be inline markup to define a series of numbers as a date or telephone number or a particular phrase tagged as being a different language from the main document. Inline semantic tags would let LLMs better understand the context of those tokens. JSON can't really do that while it's a native aspect of XML.


Or is is because most text in existence is XML - or more specifically HTML.
