What do you mean with "then took the scans home"? Anthropic et al didn't buy all the books in the world and kept them for themselves.

Only some finishing touches on the inside in 2027 and 2028 are planned.

For some use cases, AI has been profitable for at least a decade.

The last few years, cycling and triathlon have been experimenting with upto 120g carbs intake per hour. Last year, Cameron Wurf ate 200g carbs per hour when he broke the world record for fastest bike split ever in a triathlon (which was broken again a few months later).

Oops, I went by the publication date of the book

(2012)

This might seem weird coming from a car manufacturer but Skoda is a big sponsor of cycling races, most notably of the Tour de France and other ASO races. And as explained in the footer, they started out with building bicycles in the 19th century.

Your analogy to computer architectures doesn't make sense, unless comparing GPT-like LLMs to different LLM architectures like Mamba or RWKV. It indeed wouldn't make sense to not teach about Mamba or RWKV in an introductory AI or LLM course.

AI is much broader than LLMs alone. Computer vision, RL, classical ML, recommender systems, speech recognition, ... are still part of AI, just not very visible to the average consumer.

It's not an actual file but as a variable in a js file. The last link in the blog post does link to a commit with a file that contains the instructions for Claude, lines 129-737.

And 10 years ago, Reddit was already experimenting with auto-generated subreddits: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditSimulator.

I just checked all wallets, they're all empty with no recent transactions.

Can you please list some of those examples?

You didn't mention Belgium so I'm pleased to hear that Belgium is doing well according to you (4000 cases of euthanasia per year of which 80 are for psychological suffering, 1 child per year).

What kind of psychopath is against people dying in a dignified way?

Coincidentally, today there was an article in a Belgian newspaper about a 25-year-old woman who will undergo euthanasia in a few weeks due to severe psychological suffering with no prospect of improvement. After years of suffering and 40 failed suicide attempts, I indeed think it's much more dignified to have euthanasia as an option.

Euthanasia has some strict rules in Belgium, especially for cases involving psychological suffering. In 2014, the age restriction was dropped (except for psychological suffering). Since then, 6 minors have received euthanasia.

iPad Air 2 was released in October 2014 so the iPhone 6s is not even the oldest device in the article.

If you want to see a ridiculous amount of escalators, take a look at the Collblanc station in Barcelona. It takes 6 escalators to transfer between the L5 and L9S lines.

I'm in a country that uses the 24 hour clock. We also say we meet at 4 or at 10, and are able to derive from context whether that means in the evening or in the morning.

in the Netherlands (or neighbouring countries)

Most supermarkets in Belgium use a coin but some supermarkets (notably Colruyt) lock their shopping cart wheels.

Supermarkets that have a step-less escalator (e.g. to go to the parking lot in the basement) also use these locking wheels to make sure the cart never moves on the escalator. I live near an Albert Heijn that has these.

Sounds like you dressed like a proper tourist.

Oh yes, I'm sure it's the same for French-speaking Belgians! And probably 100 times worse for German-speaking Belgians.

I'm a native Dutch speaker and tried this out for a bit. It works impressively well although it might be challenging for complete beginners. Maybe you can add an option for the trainer to use more simple language for beginners?

I tried practicing some verb conjugations. The trainer displayed some fill-in-the-blank sentences like "she ... home after class", asking me to conjugate "to walk" in that sentence. However, the audio actually pronounced the full sentence "she walks home after class", giving away the answer.

This is a real pain in the ass in Belgium. Many websites assume I speak French while my native language is Dutch. Some websites only offer a French version of their Belgian storefront, even though Dutch accounts for ~60% of Belgians. I can't imagine what it's like for German-speaking Belgians.

This is not only an issue on websites but also on apps. For example, the Books and Podcasts apps on iOS show me both Dutch-speaking and French-speaking titles. I tried to raise this issue back when I worked at Apple but they only have 1 storefront per country and didn't feel like changing it.

It's his image in Apple's internal employee directory, also used for emails. It's an old image, probably taken in the early 2000s.

I managed to claim my 4-letter-first-name@apple.com. Not having an English name definitely helps.

AI is not only LLMs or other generative AI. There is also FaceID, Siri, even the camera uses AI. The author also doesn't make this distinction, sadly.

Indeed, but the neural engine does this faster and using heavier models. For example, on-device Siri was not possible until the introduction of the neural engine in 2017.

Face ID, taking pictures, Siri, ARKit, voice-to-text transcription, face recognition and OCR in photos, noise filtering, ...

For people with their iDevice set to the Swiss/Austrian German or Belgian Dutch locales, Apple Translate initially didn't even offer their languages in Apple Translate (i.e. not even German or Dutch). Only after internal complaining did they allow Swiss/Austrian German users to use German in Apple Translate.

Cervélo is not an Italian company, they're Canadian. Its name is partially Italian as it's a portmanteau of cervello (brain in Italian) and vélo (bike in French).

That is the paper Krapivin read in ~2023 and inspired him. The actual paper with the breakthrough is from January 2025: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.02305.
