I think ironically enough, the AI might actually be the tipping point that forces grant application to put tighter limits on length. Im a part of evaluating compute grant applications, and we are now getting extremely large applications regurgitating completely irrelevant information (some of which i recognized, because i helped author some best practice guides in the field). Its straining our process because we can't ethically offload evaluating the applications to LLMs. I suspect this will be a continuous theme of time; that LLMs will highly strain all human processes that for any reason cannot be offloaded to LLMs.

I managed to take this with my phone from an airplane recently. It took quite a bit of manually fitting the settings and a "long" 2 second night mode integration time.

I really like fall of civilizations podcast, there are many hours of well researched and produced history. And also for a smaller creater underthefigtree is very cozy.

Oh! thanks a lot for pointing out my error. Well then it is only the by far largest party not pushing against chat control. Slightly less disappointing...

I checked the danish votes here and it seems like only social demokratiet (social democrats) voted against this bill. All other stronger left leaning parties voted for it as well as all the centrist and right leaning parties. Truly disappointing.

I imagine oop refers to the water in the pipes getting cold over night in winter, and they're probably not patient enough for the hot water to start flowing.

Very interesting points, and I see your point between all five, although except maybe praepropere? while in theory i can see this helps syncronizing communities, especially people with different lives (such as families), to sit down for the same dinner ritual. But in practice I have friends and family some of whom 1) have very active lifestyles such as running to/from work, and so requires more snacks to keep stable energy levels and 2) they have different eating habits for other reasons such as avoiding the psychological effects of truly feeling hungry. In either way, we keep having shared dinner rituals, they just eat different amounts.

So i dont really see how the is a bad lifestyle or some ethical shortcoming, but just a rule to adhere to a specific social norm.

Hmm I don't know what to make of this, it seems like mostly a question of semantics of the scientific vs. casual use of the words attention span. The scientific use seem to refer strictly to the biological capacity to pay attention. But the laymen seem to report that they feel and act as if though they have short attention span. The science description of this phenomenon seems to be "short attention habits". So they argue that it is not about biological capacity, but the societal reward structures which enforce short attention behavior.

As a layman it is not particularly obvious to me, why they define attention span to relate to the capacity and not the habit or behavior in the first place?

Would you happen to have some references reæated the these statements? I would like to read more about recent developments.

Haha those are my cringe tourist hands, with my body cut out for privacy

I actually went to see this went I passed by Suzhou on my China trip a few years back! It is leaning quite a bit, but taking a good picture of it was difficult, as you can only really see it from one angle.

It is actually even worse, if you look at the lighting direction in the original granny picture, the seemingly only light source is the spark of the magic wand. To me this creates a sense of mystery, caution and tension, and it highlights that magic is the only tool to light the darkness.

Then in the sloppified version, they just blast the scene in lighting from the right for no reason. Their ai bot even subdues the light of the wand, making it look like a cheap prop. I also get the feeling that they change her gaze from looking at something to looking directly at the camera. So while the 2x5090 GPU slop might technically highlight more details, the entire artistic feeling just ends up with a grandma looking in a makeup mirror.
