"We will introduce a digital ID within this Parliament to help tackle illegal migration, make accessing government services easier, and enable wider efficiencies. We will consult on details soon. "
I wonder how many different justifications are offered around the world for digital ID, and how those reasons shift depending on the issues perceived to be most pressing at the time.
Good that it has an “allowed domain” list, makes it really useable. The OpenAI Responses api web search doesn’t let you limit domains currently so can’t make good use of it for client stuff.
I agree, SpaceX has 13,000 genius staff working in the aerospace industry, I'm pretty sure they can add some value to an aging ATC system.
The system is largely developed by Lockheed, Raytheon and Thales (all defense contractors). If there's a legal issue with SpaceX doing this I'm sure you'll hear about it.
Do these companies close on a week day, like they just don’t open on a Monday. Or do the staff just do 4 out of the 5 days, but the company operates all week and the team need coordinating so they have coverage all week? I’d love to do this at my place, but would want to close the whole business and I don’t think our clients would be happy.
My company works 24/7. I don’t. Nobody does. Vast majority work “office hours”. Those working shifts tend to do 3 or 4x 12 hour days, those working flexible hours work when required. I might work on a Saturday morning to deliver a specific part of a project, or get a fault escalated at 11pm after the runbooks have run out, but then I will obviously be off for a day or two in the week in exchange.
The company I work for, Wonde, allows staff to choose the day. There's negotiation with the manager to ensure appropriate coverage across the week, and a fair bit of flexibility around swapping days around as and when necessary too.
The book you're thinking of is likely "In the Country of Last Things" by Paul Auster. While not a collection of short stories, this novel often gets mentioned in relation to discussions about Auster's work involving themes of dystopia and allegorical narratives. The reference to Noah's Ark might be metaphorical, reflecting the themes of catastrophe and survival that are common in Auster's work. If you specifically remember a collection of short stories involving Noah's Ark, it could be another author or a less known work of Auster, as his major works don't typically revolve around this theme directly in the form of short stories.
I have tried to use chatgpt to identify novels and songs from descriptions and it is poor at it. This is despite, I assume , ingesting reviews and descriptions of popular novels and even ingesting the novels themselves. Perhaps the training itself isn't enough for the model to be able to identify what work it is being trained on?
It's about £2,500 ($3,100) per year in the UK if you just buy it online, not subsidised. I don't know how the US massive price hike is justified when the whole western world is buying it from the same supplier (Novo Nordisk in Denmark).
I think this is mostly true. Perhaps truer still is that the US willingly had rules that massively reduced their market power in negotiations, which in a game of parallel negotiations leads to the obvious price discrimination. You cannot blame big pharma for giving a client willing to pay any price without negotiations what the client wants: high prices.
One counterpoint is that in my country we’ve successfully reduced prices for medicines a lot by strong negotiations in the last decade. We are last in line among western nations for medicines now. Shortages all around.
And the US isn't paying for the R&D (that sounds like a regurgitated line from somewhere?) so much as paying for the pharma company's profits, due to the US's totally screwed-up healthcare system and situation.
How is it different from the normal market? If I have a product and sell in Germany for 50 USD and Switzerland for 100 USD because that is what people are willing to pay, would you also say that Switzerland pays for R&D while Germany gets it below cost?
That is right, but it is a global market where Novo Nordisk can decide to sell in a country or not, so I do not think they would sell below cost. I agree with the point that the US pays disproportionately much for the R&D portion of the cost, though.
I’ve thought this for months now, since GPT has become a go to tool I use it all the time for questions that Google has no chance of answering. E.g I’ve just played G - C - Am on my piano. What’s a good next chord? It understand music theory and gives about 5 optional chords and describes what each one may do for the song (add suspense, resolve something, lighten it, etc). Google feels really last gen very quickly. They’re basically AltaVista at this point. And ChatGPT is what AskJeeves claimed to be!
As much as I dislike openai, you are right: google is altavista. Not just because chatgpt is advanced but because google is steadily regressing. Their search is appaling - both engine, inbox and google drive. Simply appaling. It's taking the route of IBM - turning focused grouped to death.
I haven’t got it to anything that appears to be posting a form or similar. The content has to be indexable on bing by the looks of things. The second it can submit forms the internet is doomed.
