Exploring the area before HARRIS with a bunch of cool folks.
Not every day you get to look *down* on a tower crane after climbing a ridiculous number of stairs.

Photo of Köln seen from the top of the cathedral, slightly blurry because the camera tried to focus on one of the stone carvings in the corner of the image rather than the city. But there's two tower cranes in the distance, clearly lower than the viewpoint

It's very popular with the bees.

To the left is a woman in blue trousers and top standing on lawn and further to the left a tree. Behind is a patio and an arbor with sweet peas on cane supports in front.

"What is a token"
Very nice article. You might like the popularization of how a LLM works, if you don't know already.
I personally appreciate the last third of it, about the meaning for coding tools, and about how single-purpose models could theoretically be so much more useful. (And - my addition - they could do so while being ethical and efficient too.)

What is a token
AI is meant to seem like magic. But there's no such thing as magic. It's all illusion. So, allow me to spoil that illusion for you.

After some days work, I finally made my first unassisted warp, and got it on the loom and threaded up - 189 ends. It seems I had only one small mistake in the threading, just had to swap two threads. Can't wait to explore some lift patterns with this ! #weaving

Western car manufacturers are making what one former boss calls a
“profound strategic mistake”
as they pull back from electric vehicles (EVs) and refocus on the combustion engine -- just as oil prices are soaring once again.
Experts say the industry’s future
– and that of tens of millions of jobs
– could be on the line.
This time, however, the threat is from China.

‘It’s stupid’: why western carmakers’ retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance
Iran war should be wake-up call about costs of not going full throttle towards EVs as Chinese have done, experts say
