Sheets also has an `AI` formula now that you can use to invoke Gemini models directly.

The linked post is more a story of someone not understanding what they're deploying. If they had found a random blog post about spot instances, they likely would have made the same mistake.

In this case, the LLM suggested a potentially reasonable approach and the author screwed themselves by not looking into what they were trading off for lower costs.

My personal favorite take on this is the Dark Forest concept (probably because I just finished reading the book).

It makes sense to me that unless there were some way of ensuring mutually assured destruction, any advanced alien race would simply eliminate any sentient species they became aware of that could possibly become a threat in the future (whether that's hundreds, thousands, or millions of years).

Am I missing something? With numpy on my 2017 Macbook Pro, I can generate 1B random, normally distributed numbers on a CPU in ~1.3 microseconds.

In [3]: %timeit np.random.normal(1000000000)

1.3 µs ± 26.2 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

Edit: and 2.5e17 in ~7.95 microseconds

In [5]: %timeit np.random.normal((500000000, 500000000))

7.95 µs ± 90.7 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

It's called Middow and it basically takes two locations and finds the midpoint between them. You can then search for pretty much anything around the midpoint and meet people in the middle or whatnot.

I have already pushed out the first update which will save addresses you search for so you don't have to type the same ones over and over. That should be approved by the App Store either tomorrow or sometime soon after that.

Also, if you wanna be a sport and give me some free publicity, digg this story!

Any tips, suggestions, praise?
