We need to stop pretending that AI is intelligent. The article is talking about LLMs, of course. Yeah, they aren't intelligent yet. You can think of it as a glorified search engine with a different kind of user interface. It doesn't answer your queries based on an indexed list of documents, but rather by its language embeddings, can determine what you are asking for, and can provide the necessary answers.

Apparently vibe coding with o3 is really great. I have to check it out. I'm ready for something better than Claude 3.7 Sonnet.

Democrat solutions to Democrat problems. Edmonds, WA is selling city assets to make ends meet. That's going to just buy the city a few days of operational time. What then?

There's a nucleus in the thalamus that is important in conscious perception. Connections to the cerebral cortex is made through the thalamofrontal loop. Makes sense, since the thalamus is important in processing sensory input from the body, especially pain.
Another group of researchers have also discovered a molecular connection between adipose tissue and anxiety. Immune cells in fatty tissue produce a hormone called GDF15, which produces anxiety. Maybe this is why we are seeing so many mentally ill obese people these days, as obesity has been increasing over the years.
Australian scientists have discovered a quantum-based, jam-proof GPS system. It uses quantum sensors to detect small changes in the earth's magnetic field, and doesn't require sending signals to satellites. It's also portable, so perhaps someday it can be placed in a phone.

Wow, the homeless population in Portland doubled since January 2023. Is it a surprise that the Homeless Industrial Complex failed to solve the problem? Heck no, it's the homeless support system, where people come from all over the nation to enjoy the city's generosity. The city says that this data is helpful, and "that means we can better provide them the services they need to end their homelessness". And of course, Democrats will need even more money to accomplish this. 🙄
And because of taxes, the Portland Blues Festival is cutting back on days. And there will be no Oregon Symphony Waterfront concert. And no Oregon Brewers Festival. Pay more. Get less.

There's a bill that aims to limit the number of bills a legislator can introduce to no more than 25 per session. For some, it should be zero.

They said that “Fred Hutch promotes the belief that everyone deserves a life free from cancer.” Yeah, we all think that – that wasn't the issue with DEI, though. If they can do it, so can Harvard. Was it that hard?
