Still the best book on the subject.

Serious question : how do you gain confidence that numbers produced are right?
I have shot myself in the foot many times with numerical experiments (when *I* wrote the code) with stupid mistakes producing plausible but wrong answers.

Further down the linked thread, the feature has existed since 2023. Never mind "general intelligence", this is not even competent information retrieval. π‘
Nothing is perfect, but Quantum gets so many things right that it is painful to consider submitting work to other venues.
I'd vote for that ticket.

Personally I try to keep it simple : "Good question! I don't know the answer."
10 years after its founding, driven by the energy, enthusiasm, & dedication of the community @quantum-journal.bsky.social quietly published paper #2000 some days ago.
At least I think this is a big deal, big shout out to the founders & all authors, reviewers, editors, board members & contributors!

Gonna post it again...
Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Slow Horses is great, miles better than everything else on Apple TV. Also, each season is self contained (because based on a book) so there's no narrative rip off at the end, like pretty much much all other contemporary shows. Caveat given, Severance is good, Silo OK.
