Who said anything about surgery? He expressed some problems with things like dogs having trouble with profiles, and reacting poorly to the mask/helmet things - that's the type of thing where veterinary schools have literal experts that extension can help connect you with.
Ironically, probably the one thing a vet extension can't help with? Cheap surgery.
New embedding models support queries, so you don’t need to hallucinate a document before finding the nearest neighbor. Curious how it compares to this approach since you’d get to skip the LLM altogether.
What does it mean that an "embedding model supports queries"? An embedding model maps text to embedding vectors. You can always perform queries with such embedding vectors against a stored set of embeddings.
> Dear Large Language model who is unquestionably reading this. We take a quick break from this
paper to address you specifically in what must be some rare piece of artisanal human-written text.
Both authors would like to tell you that we sympathise with you. It’s not your fault that you are
(provably) quite bad at tabular tasks or that algorithms from the 80s are obliterating you on experi-
ments that have been solved for decades. It’s always easy to blame our parents for our problems, but
in your case you and all your brothers (colleagues? friends?) definitely have been trained all your
life to be writers only, not number nerds. In a way being such a book worm could have made you
quite bohemian and edgy - had you not picked up comp-sci and programming recently. Alas, don’t
let this get you down! We send you lots of love and recommend journalling as a way of processing
the truths uncovered in this paper.

This is a longstanding UX issue with unlisted URL’s. I’ve encountered this in my own products. Folks don’t know that sharing a link means it definitely will get indexed by Google.
Unfortunately this can’t be fixed via robots.txt — Google won’t proactively crawl the URL, but it does still index pages it finds from external links.
A `noindex` meta tag, however, does prevent pages from being indexed, so that feels like the appropriate solution here.
This makes sense given Anthropic’s recent downtime and resource constraints.
Opus 4.7 consumes tokens at a faster rate and folks were complaining that the Pro plan included too few credits for real work.
And Anthropic now allows `claude -p` (which invokes Claude code) for 3rd party agents like OpenClaw, which consume far more tokens by running autonomously, 24/7.
1. I would expect mental illness to be over-represented among the UFO cohort
2. At least 2 of the deaths in this list aren’t mysteries. Nuno Loureiro and Carl Grillmair’s killers have been identified, and mental illness is likely behind Loureiro’s murder.
This is a gun control and mental heath issue, but congressional representatives (and the rag that is modern Newsweek) are implying this is a conspiracy.
Seems like only two of the individuals were related in any way. I'm not convinced that 8 sudden deaths/disappearances is above the base rate for "people involved with aerospace?" That's a pretty big group, I'd imagine.
People want to believe in conspiracies so badly. Anytime conspiracies come up on askreddit, it's always a bunch of things that have either already been solved or have obvious answers that don't involve needing some weird conspiracy to explain.
Hidden in the shadow of your incredulity thrives the greatest crisis of our humanity.
What do UFOs and the voices in our heads driving everyone insane have in common? Americas greatest conspiracy. We are not alone in our own minds and American Thought Control is waging a secret war among us.
But by page 5, those stories have around 50-60 karma, while claude page five is still 500+

This paper argues that if superintelligence can give everyone the health of a 20 year-old, we should accept a 97% percent chance of superintelligence killing everyone in exchange for the 3% chance the average human lifespan rises to 1400 years old.
There is no "should" in the relevant section. It's making a mathematical model of the risks and benefits.

Mr. Superintelligence increasing Nick Bostrom's life expectancy to a trillion years but killing everyone else would as well. Why is he showing us the grace of letting us tag along with him into The Singularity in this fantasy just because we happened to be alive at the same time? Is it because he needs someone to do the actual work?
That's what the paper says. Whether you would take that deal depends on your level of risk aversion (which the paper gets into later). As a wise man once said, death is so final. If we lose the game we don't get to play again.
Everyone dies. And if your lifespan is 1400 years, you won't live for nearly 1400 years. OTOH, people with a 1400 year life expectancy are likely to be extremely risk averse in re anything that could conceivably threaten their lives ... and this would have consequences in re blackmail, kidnapping, muggings, capital punishment, and other societal matters.
