Anthropic publishes paper showing insights gained on how one of their mid-size models thinks internally as it processes prompts. This is not so much of a mystery as is computer vision. We know that these chatbots operate by treating LLMs as Markov chains. But it's not so clear with convolution and pooling.

Hawaii is a lousy state to own electric vehicles. You can charge at home, but when you're out and about, it's very risky. EVs are appropriate for just a few select areas.

Another article that calls for letting physicians seek mental health without the stigma. As before, nothing will happen, and medical boards will still query healthcare providers as to whether or not they sought help for stress and burnout, and whether they are taking psychoactive medications. Being a doctor is very stressful, and this is one profession where you can get dinged if you seek help.
