If doctors and pharmacists were effective in preventing all adverse interactions, we wouldn’t have those “don’t take ADVERTIX if…” disclaimers in US drug ads.

You can in Azure, easily. New Azure free accounts (which most learners start with) have spending limits enabled by default. https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cost-management-billing/ma...

According to the linked review, hot-swapping is not possible - disconnecting the battery powers down the device.

I didn’t grab a screenshot, but I did see how the simulation can end. The day and night balls collided with each other at the boundary and got locked in place in a tight infinite loop, and never moved again.

According to the NYT report, there was no one seated in the seat by the window (which is still there in pictures). That is very lucky. The child seated in the aisle of that row had his shirt ripped off by the depressurization.

Early versions of iOS did this too. You’d tap an app icon and the app would appear instantly in its prior state … but it was just a saved screenshot that iOS displayed while the app was actually loading.

A fun way to use this I discovered by accident: ask ChatGPT to write a song for you. (You can use a longer prompt, and get a text version of the verses and chorus.( Paste that into the “Custom Lyrics” UI to get a musical version.

Oh, yeah, scaled down this could totally work! What about for small packages and documents in office situations - pop a signed document into a tube and it could whoosh to the recipient. Or at banks, customers could put their deposits into a pod — from their car, maybe! — and get the money straight to the teller.

The future is here!

Azure OpenAI is running normally https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

From https://openai.com/our-structure :

> Even OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, does not hold equity directly. His only interest is indirectly through a Y Combinator investment fund that made a small investment in OpenAI before he was full-time.

That word “directly” seems to be relevant here.

In fact, I believe Altman was the only member of the board that held equity in OpenAI. There was some vague reference to a “previous VC arrangement” in the FAQ.

You can request to have content filtering turned off https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/c...

It’s publicly available, but you still do have to request access I believe.

It’s exactly the same models as OpenAI.

See https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status, click on a region of interest, and scroll down to the AI + Machine Learning section. It’s up now.

Azure OpenAI Service is up, and provides the same models as OpenAI https://azure.status.microsoft/status

> about half your nitrogen atoms were being stripped from the air in some great metallic reactor like the one pictured

I’d never appreciated before how much nitrogen was taken from the air to support agriculture. I wonder if this has a direct impact on climate change. Does reducing nitrogen in the air necessarily increase the proportion of the other gases including carbon dioxide?

In the OpenAI models the "system prompt", a separate prompt intended to control the LLM's behavior and not intended to be responded to directly, it meant for this purpose. It's not perfect, but I imagine OpenAI is working to improve that.

Surprisingly, GE. Apparently they’re the only big appliance company that maintains a service division in-house. It’s easy to book a repair, the engineer arrives on time, and they were able to successfully repair my 20-year old fridge that would have entailed a complete kitchen remodel to replace.

I guess one problem is that by definition, sea water is at sea level, and any desalinated water would have to be pumped to deliver it anywhere. Pumping costs. By contrast, isn't most fresh water delivered by gravity, for free?

A thought I might know where this is based on your description alone, and I was right, I think. I assume you're talking about the merge from 405N to 520E? I've thought the same thing about the wrong directions too.

There’s no mention of Azure on the Bitwarden status page.

And indeed, PalM 2 Bison is one of the LLMs covered in discussed link.

That doesn't change the fact that chat apps like Google Bard and Microsoft Bing, and even the ChatGPT app with plugins, are not foundational LLMs. The fact that they incorporate information from outside the LLM (usually in ways that are opaque to the user) gives them fundamentally different characteristics to LLMS.

Google Bard is not a foundational LLM, it’s a chat app that draws on data from the web for grounding. It may have found the answer from a search result (perhaps this very page!).

I heard from a friend in a wine shop that even offline sales weren’t processing.

I have no idea, but pointing to some non-working thing and saying "kaput" gets action in any language. It was a tip I picked up back in the backpacking days, and it does seem to work.

"Taxi" is universally understood, in my experience. (TFI calls it a "runner up" candidate.)

"Kaput" is another.

In the monkey-photo case, didn't the journalist attempt to assert copyright on the photo the monkey took with his camera, but was denied?

Twitter’s data would be very valuable for generating tweet-like content: short, self-contained snippets, images and video.

There’s not a lot of data in Twitter today resembling long-form content: essays, news articles, books, scientific papers, etc. That’s probably why Twitter/X expanded the tweet size limit, to be able to collect such data.

FWIW, even if your main battery display (on the top row of the screen) is set to range (e.g. 181mi), the nav system always displays the battery charge at the destination points as a percentage.
