Nah, the altitude component is less than a rounding error at the scales involved.

It's clearly in a vaguely geostationary orbit above Guatemala City.

Why do you think Epic is okay with Nintendo, Sony, and XBox?

Because the three of them are all making their store business decisions outside of CA such that it's far harder to have California law applied to them?

Yeah, let's not train people properly, better give techbros more money

What evidence is there that we can train people to be better drivers? We've got a century of effort and it seems the bulk of road death prevention has come from improved, and more expensive, design.

The parent comment specifically quoted both, making a citation for arrests fairly topical.

>Keep in mind the UK already arrests and imprisons vast numbers of people for speech offences

>>I think you’ve been spending too much time on Twitter

Did you miss it or are we moving the goalposts for some reason?

>> We are offering shareholders $17.6 billion more cash than the deal they currently have signed up with Netflix

> It seems the main thrust of the pitch is "we're friends with Trump therefore more likely to win approval"

It seems to me that the main thrust of the pitch is more money.

Sure, if you think that the portion that would be spun off and stay public under Netflix's deal would have a stock value of like $2.

this brings us to a cultural divide, westerners would see this as a personal scar, as they consider the integrity of the publishing sphere at large to be held up by the integrity of individuals

i clicked on 4 of those papers, and the pattern i saw was middle-eastern, indian, and chinese names

these are cultures where they think this kind of behavior is actually acceptable, they would assume it's the fault of the journal for accepting the paper. they don't see the loss of reputation to be a personal scar because they instead attribute blame to the game.

some people would say it's racist to understand this, but in my opinion when i was working with people from these cultures there was just no other way to learn to cooperate with them than to understand them, it's an incredibly confusing experience to be working with them until you understand the various differences between your own culture and theirs

Where do you see the authors? All I'm seeing is:

>Anonymous authors

>Paper under double-blind review

Not the OP, but after a couple of decades of people pointedly talking about eye contact, small talk, and body language, you learn “coping mechanisms” to deal with neurotypicals and make them more comfortable.

Did your sporting team have success on the weekend? Wonderful, direct eye contact, smile, mirror. Ok, now, to business:

It sounds to me like the article author calls that social awkwardness not autism, no?

>The key distinctions are that socially awkward individuals understand what they should do socially but find it difficult or uninteresting (versus genuinely not understanding unwritten rules), show significant improvement with practice and maturity, are more comfortable in specific contexts, lack the sensory sensitivities and restricted/repetitive behaviors required for autism diagnosis, and generally achieve life goals despite awkwardness rather than experiencing clinically significant impairment.

It seems to me that this sort of definition would preclude any person having general intelligence such that they are able to learn to mask (or feel like they have to mask less in certain safe areas).

> The metric reflects the proportion of all tokens served by reasoning models, not the share of "reasoning tokens" within model outputs.

I'd be interested in a clarification on the reasoning vs non-reasoning metric.

Does this mean the reasoning total is (input + reasoning + output) tokens? Or is it just (input + output).

Obviously the reasoning tokens would add a ton to the overall count. So it would be interesting to see it on an apples to apples comparison with non reasoning models.

As would models that that are overly verbose. My experience is the Claude tends to do more than is asked for (e.g. immediately move on to creating tests and documentation) while other models like Gemini tend to be more concise in what they do.
