OK, so as someone who works on this stuff daily, here's my take on LLMs for coding: There are some things they're really good at and some things they're really bad at, and knowing where to draw the line on how to use them is the key. I remain astounded by how incredible LLMs are
I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

These are the most shameful and dishonorable comments one could possibly make about those who came to America's assistance and sacrificed for you.

This is undoubtedly true. This captures a reality that many people haven't yet come to terms with: artificial intelligence is not merely an assistant for writing—it may become a default writer. And the implications of this are far more profound than most assume. People who
I just realized something most people are going to lose when (as they inevitably will) they start using AIs to write everything for them. They'll lose the knowledge of how writing is constructed.

On Palm Sunday Christians commemorate Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem, ahead of his death and glorious resurrection later in Holy Week. We are blessed to be joined today by The Reverend Canon James Walters (@LSEChaplain), who will give the sermon at Sung Eucharist. 🧵

So to be clear, the current Trump administration plan is now to let China do advanced electronics manufacturing while we “reshore”…textiles and coffee production?

The exact same playbook as the Brexit discourse: first, it was "leaving the EU will make us more prosperous". Then, whenever someone pushed back on that narrative (now decisively falsified), they would praise the patriotic virtue of making ourselves poorer.
How quickly they went from, “Tariffs will be a bonanza for our country, resulting in a golden age of prosperity,” to, “Paying higher prices and tolerating shrunken 401(k)s is patriotic.” Economic nationalism is a snare and a delusion. People should stop falling for it.

Estonia is a small country but for our population our losses were up there with US's and UK's. As president I went to every funeral. You can write off Trump's inanities to IQ but a man with a Yale law degree says this??? What an absolutely disgusting thing to say. Apologise.
There's a real - and growing - outrage over these comments. It's worse in some ways than the Munich speech. Europeans died in American-led campaigns. They have been active in multiple theaters. Vance's insult won't be easily forgotten

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world. Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union—an

Three years ago, Russia launched a brutal and unprovoked invasion on Ukraine. They did not succeed taking the country thanks to heroic ongoing defending from Ukrainians. The war on Ukraine is a war on Europe. I stand with Ukraine. Time for Europe to step up its support.
Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people

This made me curious: what else can be learned from studying Stonehenge? I used Nature Research Intelligence's Nature Navigator to create a topic exploring #Stonehenge-related research, and I was immediately struck by the variety of research related to the stone monument.
