I always find the use of first person plural pronouns in discussions of the distant future to be too cute…
Humans didn’t exist a million years ago. There were some crafty hominid apes but not the sort you could clean up and mistake for a human.
There is no “us” 7 billion years from now. There is very likely no “us” in half a million years. We may or may not have descendants but they won’t be “us” in any sense.
A billion years is longer than Earth has had visible life

... i would like to have cooked chicken, y'know, like in "cooked terminal" ...
Love is dope, not chicken soup. I mean, love is something to be passed
around freely, not spooned down someone's throat for their own good by a
Jewish mother who cooked it all by herself.
45.4°C in Portugal yesterday, in June!
Unprecedented, there's that word again.

Dear old Violet.
She'll be turning 13 in October, so she's kind of on borrowed time for a greyhound. She seems to have lost most of her vision now and is underweight, though her appetite is still huge and she still loves her walks.
She was once a terror for the local cats and squirrels but now if they remain still she doesn't spot them. She still sniffs every place that she remembers them to have been.
Looking at an interesting AI tool, get to the end and find instructions on how to ask ChatGPT to generate prompts for this tool.
We're so cooked as a species.
This is at times more of a New York story than a Pizza story but still it is quite fun to listen to. Dan Pashman of The Sporkful talks to Patsy and Carol Grimaldi. Though I have to say my chin dropped somewhat when I understood that this legend of New York Pizza is cooked in a coal oven.

Watching a house sparrow eating a grain of cooked rice from the leftovers I put out for the birds.
Size-wise, it's like a person eating a baguette, a whole meal!

Apple researchers detail the limitations of top LLMs and large reasoning models, like o3, especially on problems of medium to high complexity (Gary Marcus/Marcus on AI)

stop telling me I'm cooked. that sounds delicious.
Nice blog by Gary Marcus, for me personally this is not a blow, I don't see current AI as reasoning or thinking, it still will have enormous impact without these capabilities.
Also it's fascinating that models are able to solve some difficult math problems (that are not in their trainingset ) while they fail with seemingly simple other problems.
Today I booked my Advanced Open Water Diver course AND cooked the first meal on our new stove (omlette with vegetables)

This, too, can be done. (One third of the maple syrup is totally fine, and far less oil is needed than specified.) And extremely bone-healthy! #nommention
