Yes, but many are also very old and don't necessarily have large power lines leading to the car park as it's never been necessary in the past. Newark was mentioned as a case in point, where power is simply not available at the scale they'd need it. Of course, Hertz should have thought of that...

Funder? Finder? Sunder? Just generalize it to Nunder already!

Sorry, but that's a terrible article, almost entirely devoid of content. It does link to [1] though, which has some actual background and [2] from MIT itself.

That is certainly true, I did not mean to imply this is not the case. I have noticed however that in the Singaporean English acrolect certain words and phrases are used differently than they would be in BrE or NAmE ("I'll send him to the airport.") In less formal registers the differences become larger, which is what I was looking for.

In the few commits from Jia Tan that I've seen, the English parses (to me at least) idiomatically as a native speaker from either the US or UK, and I did not encounter any signs of Singaporean English. Obviously, this is a very small sample so one cannot read too much into it.

Almost 10% of Singaporeans share the family name Tan. [1]

As far as we know, they're rare...

Blame the tax code. Buybacks are a more tax efficient way of returning capital than dividends, which get taxed twice (earnings at corporate and then income at shareholders).

Collision is at 1:28 EDT; you'll need to go back in the livestream.

The LinkedIn app on Android clocks in at using 351 MB on my phone, but 187 MB of that is cache and 13 MB is data. The app itself is "only" 151 MB.

Yes, they link to Bankrate [0] where FL has a median of $66k, HI is at $210k and CA at $141k. And the numbers they present at the lower end seem much too low as well. None of this makes sense.

More likely because it's a maintenance issue at the airline, and not a structural issue at Boeing, especially given the 777's solid track record over decades service.

OK, that makes sense. Thank you!

Thank you for clarifying. I have been wanting to dip my toes into LLMs at home but obviously I have a steep learning curve ahead of me, and would need considerably beefier hardware!

The headline and introduction on the linked page say "You can now train a 70b language model at home. We’re releasing an open source system, based on FSDP and QLoRA, that can train a 70b model on two 24GB GPUs."

How does "fine tuning" differ from "training?" Reading the linked article I had assumed I could create my own trained LLM at home with two 24GB GPUs.

You could make it a matter of style discipline. In my non-trivial spreadsheets I typically have cell formatting conventions, e.g. light yellow background is input, light green is formula, etc. You do have do it manually but it's worth the effort in my case.

The anecdotal, apocryphal rumor I heard back in the day when Concorde was still flying was that the big Wall Street investment banks accounted for a third to a half of all Concorde traffic between London and New York. Impossible to verify, and possibly too good to verify... but I would not be surprised if a large chunk of passengers did come from that demographic.

BA 001 LHR-JFK 10.30am arrive JFK 9am

BA 002 JFK-LHR 9am arrive LHR 17.25

BA 003 LHR-JFK 18.25pm arrive JFK 5pm

BA 004 JFK-LHR 12pm arrive LHR 8pm

A same-day return would be useless as you'd have only 3 hours at JFK.

A football field is an area, so a cubic football field would be a six-dimensional volume.

Because you need to reverse the polarity first.

Conversely, it could be companies feel so confident and comfortable that they don't mind potentially losing staff (or being outcompeted for staff) when they impose WFO mandates. Don't want to WFO for us? Fine, we'll find someone else who will.

For a vintage SF treatment with the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis at its center, read The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance. It's been a while since I last read it, but I have fond memories.

Same here. Add to that the fact that very few apps can be installed anymore with the old version of iOS and it's of surprisingly little value. Even letting the kids watch YouTube has become impossible...

I run my own Docker image for the Unifi server, no cloud needed. The CLI is limited though but I can ssh into my switches and router. I haven't used their camera offerings though.

I was a frequent visitor to Manhattan in the 2000s, and I generally felt very safe at any time in midtown, and the upper east and west sides. My recent visit last year (the first in 10 years or so) was shocking in how much Manhattan had deteriorated in terms of safety. I don't know what it was like in the 70s so I can't compare.

Satya's statement at the time may well have been true at the time in that he, Sam and Greg had agreed on them joining MSFT. Later circumstances changed, and now that decision has been reversed or nullfied. Calling the original statement a lie is not warranted IMHO.

In either case the end effect is the essentially the same. Either Sam is at MSFT and can continue to work with openAI IP, or he's back at openAI and do the same. In both cases the net effect for MSFT is similar and not materially different, although the revealed preference of Sam's return to openAI indicates the second option was the preferred one.

[Edit for grammar]

If all members of the old board resign simultaneously, what happens then? No more old board to agree to any new members. In a for-profit the shareholders can elect new board members, but in this case I don't know how it's supposed to work.

Not sure "elected" is the right way of looking at it. More like "selected" or "nominated" by Sam/MSFT perhaps. His main qualification may be that he's an adult?

I don't understand that either, but let's see what the board looks like in a few months/weeks/days/hours?

>> a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance.

That's quite a slap at the board... a polite way of calling them ignorant, ineffective dilettantes.

ALT+E, S, V is paste as values. ALT+E, S, T is paste formats. ALT+E, S, F is paste formulas.

Those are the ones I use most frequently and these keystrokes are now deeply embedded in my muscle memory.

BTW, I would take slight issue with your expectations of what a human might expect... I actually think the standard CTRL+V paste does what 90% of Excel users expect.
