The Harmony of the Seas, the longest cruise ship in the world, is nearly 400 feet shorter than either parking garage at Apple’s HQ. All because Cupertino has some of the most archaic parking minimums in the country.

Capped off by a link to an 83-song playlist on Spotify only featuring, well, “The Boys Are Back In Town.”

ChatPDF.com traffic is so high that unfortunately we'll run into OpenAI usage limits soon.
Over 35.000 PDF chats so far! 🔥
For now the PDF size is limited to 50 pages, but we might have to lower it even further

The conceit that the only two options available for the GOP are to nominate a total scumbag wannabe authoritarian or adherents of hard-right economics who want to totally shred the social safety net is very bad.

Fabulous point... in 2010 when Obamacare passed, health care was 17% of GDP and uninsured rate was 16%
Today? health care 17% of GDP and uninsured rate is lowest ever: 8%!

I keep finding things that AI can do that are unexpected, even knowing how LLMs work, from applying philosophical theories in novel ways to coming up with a plan for saving the Roman Empire.
I compiled a bunch of interesting examples in this post.

Good piece on the known unknowns about inflation and how, for a host of reasons - both long-lingering and pandemic induced - data right now is erratic and of less use than typical in plotting the path forward.

Fascinating the amount of analysis AI can do:
Bing, what four sentences, sent back in time, could save the Roman Empire?
What four hints about science & engineering could we give the Roman Empire, in terms people of the day would understand, that would have helped them survive?

People love "YIMBY," it's positive, intuitive, and positions advocates opposite loathed NIMBYs. (Hence why NIMBYs are always trying to invent some other IMBY.) The only people saying it has "brand" problems are extremely online weirdos who hate YIMBY and want it to fail.
