It is also important in context to include castles in Africa to show that the area did contain castles. This fact often surprises people that Africa has castles and some of them dating back to the 11 century.

For example just by looking from my eye you are missing Lamu Castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamu_Fort Siyu Fort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siyu Thimlich Ohingahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thimlich_Ohinga

And then in Tanzania you have the Gerezani Fort in Kilwa Kisiwani, the Old Fort of Zanzibar, the German Fort in Bagamoyo. And then Taleh Fort in Somalia.

I have not even started on either Mozambique, or Angola.

The importance of the definition is to actually save the castles. For example in Lower Silesia in Poland, which was Germany, and Czech before, there where about 2000 Castles (Schloss's). Now many of these castles lay in ruins. By only including the popular ones like this map does it means the less famous ones will become even less popular, and a piece of history will disappear.

That was exactly the point. The fame came from the number of copies of the painting.

Some people say brands like Gucci became more famous because of the number copies made.

But as the Frankfurt School Famously said about the Mona Lisa that the copies make the original. In other words the copies give the original all the publicity to make it famous.

Is this because of the cost of memory or because the product is no longer competitive?

So they can be disabled from the ground? Why has russia not thought of that? Is that why Starlink is actually concerned about them been used by Ukraine?

I wonder if the us has a means of protecting the Starlink satellites?

The story is a joint joint investigation with Le Monde and Der Spiegel:

Are we talking about train engines or games engines:)

Basically the article is arguing that distillation is a moat leak from USA to China.

But what surprises me is that the frontier labs can’t detect the Chinese making the distillation attempts?

It’s not just that. Working with multiple agents and tasks switching will increase cognitive load significantly leading to both poor decision making and increased stress.

In a car with Recirculation Mode on Levels routinely spike between 1,500 and 4,000 ppm within 20 to 30 minutes.

I wonder how many driving accidents can be saved by having a co2 monitor in the car.

So in Poland with Starlink I easily get 120 mbp/s but often in Kenya which I visit the maximum speed is just 10 mbp/s. Often the local 5g network is faster. The reason I believe that this is the case is dues to congestion on the Starlink network in Kenya. Ie. too many users in Kenya.

The article gives valid advice in using AI on tasks AI is good at, but the article could be clearer on is what AI is good at and what AI is not so good at.

Actually I am been asked to pay for Reuters

For a bit more context the Belarusian activist built on the anti communist Polish Activist Waldemar "Major" Fydrych who in the 1980’s was arrested by the communist authorities in Poland for handing out female sanitary products.

As he said “The Western World will find out much more about the situation in Poland from hearing that I was put to jail for giving tampons to a woman, than from reading the books and articles written by other people from the opposition.”

A counter point to Paul Graham’s How to Earn a Billion Dollars speech at the Oxford Union. https://paulgraham.com/earn.html

I agree more with Graham, but it is worth a debate as so much power is tied up with People like Elon Musk.

What is surprising is that GSM-R is 2g. Does not 2g have many security issues?

Their argument on page 10 is that now agentic coding reduces the effort of writing code there will be far more failures unless you validate the idea properly.

We are actually seeing that in that the number of apps on the app stores is increasing but usage is not increasing.

Some would argue that the right process will lead to the right results.

Your making an argumentum ad verecundiam which even if you are right means we have to discredit it.

It’s poor science to make an argument on authority, if you know the science then you should be quoting the published research and not relying on others so called expertise.

Groupthink is very much the scientific method. According to Imre Lakatos the key question is does the group expand knowledge or contract it (very rushed reply as about to catch a flight)

I wonder how much of this is to lower the valuation of Anthropic.

Also according to the Financial Times that this confidential filling gives employees who are considering to sell shares transparency.

According to this from oracle the technology is there for closed loop systems. https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/blog/closed-loop-co... But is it green washings?

I wonder how many people saying similar things have the same background, but having said that she was VP of Engineering at GitHub, and VP of Engineering at Heptio.

Should we not be counting function points rather than LOC’s.

Lines of Code is a meaningless measure. It should also be easy to count function points using AI.

Often to me it seams like using MA is like letting a million monkeys lose.

Has ai forgotten about high level design? Surely all it needs to know is what the methods, objects or functions in the code base actually does and the actual code it is meant to be fixing?

I wonder if half the issues is that the LLM try to change too much?

So what harness are you using? And what LLM’s

I think some justify it as SpaceX plans to offer hosting in space, and then use Starlink to distribute it.
