Map projections are a great example of what I mean when I say (constantly, incessantly, badgering students and family alike) that it’s •all• tradeoffs.

TourdeFrance is feitelijk voorbij, spanning is weg, na etappe 6 van de 21. Geen sportliefhebber kan hier blij mee zijn. Al kun je Pogacar niets verwijten.

GPT-6.1 was not among those “most capable models” covered by that move, OpenAI told the WSJ.
And while GPT-6.1 won’t be released as is, the company said it intends to use the same base model for further training runs that it said will hopefully lead to future GPT-6 generation models.
