Oh this is awesome. I think I remember using this guy's stuff for remedial biology (or chemistry?) in HS. Thanks for the link.

This is tricky. Anecdotally, social media has made my cousin much stupider - seriously, he’s begging me for help with stuff as basic as calculus (admittedly, I can’t help him here since I’m not good at math, but still…)
I wish there were free online resources for adults with remedial math needs…

How did they accomplish this without a PM reminding them to get alignment?

Is this an ad for Zyns (whatever that is; I refuse to do a web search to find out)?
No LOL. Zyns are nicotine pouches you insert into your gums for a gradual release of nicotine. They're powerful. Unfortunately, I went from using 3mg Zyns to 6mg Zyns, and had to sit in front of my bathroom sink, fighting the urge to retch. Be careful with them, but they're a good way to ramp up to cigarette smoking
Why are they comfortable saying this?
> Generally, Boyd said his office uses the software to find “avenues for obtaining probable cause” or “to verify reasonable suspicion that you already have”—not as a basis by itself to make arrests.
As if that's not a massive violation of our rights in and of itself. This is my fundamental problem with the internet. As much as stories like these gain traction, as many millions of redditors protest these increasingly common stories (for example, the suspicious nature of Luigi Mangione being 'reported' in that McDonalds), nothing will change.
Perhaps this is the part of the criminal justice system I am most suspect of. Is this what happens in a country with less regulation?

I can't be the only person completely unconcerned about this state of affairs. They're ads. This is the most straightforward incentive structure in the world - they are paid to supply ads on behalf of other companies, and we consume those ads and are, in turn, provided with their product. I don't know why it is, but people are incapable of evaluating this exchange objectively - there's something inherently detestable about advertisement to the human mind. This is a perfectly reasonable exchange.
Besides, if it wasn't for ads, I never would've found out about Zyns, and now I can't stop buying them.

It's pattern matching. Which is actually what we measure in IQ tests, just saying.
There's some nuance. IQ tests measure pattern matching and, in an underlying way, other facets of intelligence - memory, for example. How well can an LLM 'remember' a thing? Sometimes Claude will perform compaction when its context window reaches 200k "tokens" then it seems a little colder to me, but maybe that's just my imagination. I'm kind of a "power user".
Not to be a luddite, but large language models are fundamentally not meant for tasks of this nature. And listen to this:
> Most notably, it provides confidence levels in its findings, which Cheeseman emphasizes is crucial.
These 'confidence levels' are suspect. You can ask Claude today, "What is your confidence in __" and it will, unsurprisingly, give a 'confidence interval'. I'd like to better understand the system implemented by Cheeseman. Otherwise I find the whole thing, heh, cheesy!
Why not start off looking at the cheapest EV or PHEV that you can find without high mileage that’ll fit your daily driving habits, then give it a test drive? Consider how much monthly expenses will cost (might save ~90% on fuel) and then consider if you like the driving characteristics more.
Any brand recommendations? I'm really not one for 'smart' features, though I know they're kind of intrinsic to electric vehicles.
