It's a work in progress and southern Europe is not covered well, Spain is not covered at all. I focuses on Eastern and Central Europe because that's where I'm from, I'll try to add Spain next :)

Although it seems the night train offering in Spain is not great.

Altman is an advocate of Universal Basic Income, as far as I'm aware. That doesn't sound like he's not worried about massive job losses.

So he says. And the way he proposed reaching that was with a scam cryptocurrency under his control which has rightfully been banned in several countries.

Meaningfully?

Is there an advocacy arm of OpenAI pushing for legislation for UBI? Or is this like Musk's supposed support for UBI while also insisting that welfare payments to the poor are a bad thing?


If there's one thing that's clear from the article, it's that he's a proponent of anything that will benefit him, even multiple conflicting things at the same time.

It would be absolutely astounding to read TFA and then continue to take this weasel and his word at face value.

It's easy to advocate for something when you know it's essentially impossible to implement.

The 8B model response to my "Harry Potter knowledge-bench" question is too funny not to share.

> *Fathers of Harry and James Potter*: - Sirius Black is the *father* of *James Potter* (the older brother of Harry).

> - James Potter is *Harry's uncle* and the *older brother* of *Luna Lovegood*.

> - This means *Sirius and James are Harry's uncles*, though they are *father and brother*.

I agree, their autocomplete (tab) model is the best, but recently I realised I am using it less and less - the new models are so good that I mostly just do agentic coding, and I do very little changes in the codebase by myself. This is probably a general trend and if the usage of autocomplete models is dying out, it's understandable the companies are not investing resources into it.


That has been true for some time now, definitely since Claude 3 release two years ago.


According to the announcement blog Le Chat is powered by the new model as well: https://chat.mistral.ai/chat


I wonder when we will see an LLM deployed directly in a space rover on a mission like this. The time savings could be huge.


I usually love names by Mistral (Mixtral, Ministral, Pixstral) but this one just sucks. Not sure about Clistral though :D


It's not just you, I hear this often, but I am always suprised people can read for so long in bed. No matter how interesting a book is, I can rarely read more than 20-30 minutes before the urge to fall asleep becomes too strong.

But I can sometimes code until like 4AM. Weird.


Reading is usually more passive than coding. I'm often never sleepy if I'm actively coding something late at night but reading a book (no matter how engaging) or watching a tv show can very easily make me sleepy. That said, everyone's brains work very differently.


This is just so weird. In general coding won't let me fall asleep but a book 100% will never let me sleep until I finish.

I also find the idea of "forcing" yourself to read rather peculiar, but we're all different people. I wonder if there's genuinely something different in how the brain reacts.


Well you are sitting in front of a relatively bright lamp when coding.


Funny coincidence, these are the exact sci-fi books I read this and previous year, in the exact order I read them (I read some non-sci-fi books in between to not get overwhelmed). I finished Project Hail Mary literally one hour ago. All the books were great, but Remembrance of Earth's Past series was literally life-changing, truly a masterpiece.

I'm guessing you plan to read Dune next? ;) I plan to start with it during Christmas break.
