“Currently, there is no consensus on the face of the Democrat Party, as a majority of voters either give the title to AOC (26%) or simply say there is none (26%),” Co/efficient concluded.

Never heard of Co/efficient, but “Democrat Party” is a bit of a red flag. From mediabiasfactcheck:

FiveThirtyEight, an expert on measuring and rating pollster performance, has evaluated 20 polls by co/efficient, earning 0.7 stars for accuracy, indicating they are Mixed Factual by MBFC’s criteria. They also conclude that their polling moderately favors the Right with a score of -2.7, which equates to a Right-Center polling bias. In general, co/efficient is considered moderately accurate and demonstrates a right-leaning bias in polling.

Looks like Cooper bold.

ε, the base of the dual numbers.

It’s a nonzero hypercomplex number that squares to zero, enabling automatic differentiation.

I think the general rule (that also applies on one-way streets, etc.) is that the pedestrian lane closest to traffic should face in the direction of oncoming traffic, so cars aren’t approaching from their blind spot.

How about a reality show where immigrants compete against Trump cabinet members for their jobs?

Those look like fig leaves, but the pole doesn’t look like it came from a fig tree.

I think it’s a strangler fig, which grows from seeds that are left in the tops of other trees by birds.

Look at phenomena that should be totally random, and try to find evidence that they were produced by pseudorandom number generators.

They’re not nuts that resemble peas, they’re peas that resemble nuts.

Because advertisers want viewers to associate their products and brand with feelings of annoyance, aggravation, and frustration?

So the upshot’s that Grok bot’s a crackpot?

Sure—but I grew up reading a lot of 19th-century literature.

It’s like when you get inoculated with a weakened form of a live virus so you can build up an immunity to more virulent forms.

The basic idea behind the researchers' data compression algorithm is that if an LLM knows what a user will be writing, it does not need to transmit any data, but can simply generate what the user wants them to transmit on the other end

Great... but if that’s the case, maybe the user should reconsider the usefulness of transmitting that data in the first place.

You only know the total mass, charge, and angular momentum of the black hole—you don’t know how those properties are distributed inside the event horizon. You see the apple approach the horizon and the horizon expands to encompass the apple-black hole system, but that information isn’t coming from the singularity at the center—it’s coming from the horizon.

One of the requirements for administering any department is being able to tell when it’s doing its job, and for his position that means being able to tell good policies from bad ones.

“Who do they think I am, the Secretary of Health?”

I guess Kamala Harris’s former campaign advisors found new employment.

Here’s a list of WP’s templates for adding social media links to articles—looks like they have one for Mastodon.

AlphaEvolve verifies, runs and scores the proposed programs using automated evaluation metrics. These metrics provide an objective, quantifiable assessment of each solution’s accuracy and quality.

Yeah, that’s the way genetic algorithms have worked for decades. Have they figured out a way to turn those evaluation metrics directly into code improvements, or do they just keep doing a bunch of rounds of trial and error?

It’s just the name of Google’s AI division.
