Hydrocarbon refinement is on a similar or exceeding complexity as refrigerated food processing. I suppose it was once … food … that took a long dirt nap.
Generations have tried to standardize-commodify, and it just remains hard af.
Huge respect to petro engineers.

It’s worse. The answers weren’t on Google, they were in a binary file on GitHub that was XOR-encrypted to make it impossible to Google. The AI decided it must be a benchmark; systematically went through benchmarks; downloaded the file (which it shouldn’t have been able to do); and decrypted it.

sure, maybe it’s expensive, but GPT-5.4 on xhigh will cost you anywhere between $0.0001 and $10000.00, depending on how you phrase the question
Prime Minister Carney meets with Prime Minister Takaichi in Tokyo, Japan.
Prime Minister Takaichi and I are launching an ambitious new Strategic Partnership.
Canada are Japan are going to work together in defence, energy, critical minerals, trade, and technology to unlock enormous opportunities for our workers and businesses.
Line believability was a key reality indicator.
Damn.
It was one of those fascinating reverse cons, by which, nobody could tell him truth.
Remarkable.
End of a season.

After all: “Stalin was the SECRETARY of the communist party.”
“In any case, a better future requires bringing these fragments together to build a world worth fighting for. Refusing the ‘inevitable’ is the first step to action.”
Great spirit. That right exists. And that’s the liberal spirit right there.

The median American likely won’t ever process the decline, nor the root cause.
Best prediction:
It’ll take at least a century.
I’ll predict that the median American doesn’t appear to understand that they needed to reform the tax code.
They could have started when it was obvious they needed to do it.
And so much of their thrashing can be tied directly to that.
Tax code.
Tax code.
Tax code.
Fix. The. Fucking. Tax. Code.
The British seemed obsessed with their decline, from 1770 on, and they’re still having trouble processing the emotions.
The Russians don’t appear to understand that when Stalin died, the unironic attempt at Communism ended, and everything later was a slow notification. They aren’t processing.
"Globally, the research found ocean levels are an average of 30cm higher than previously believed, in some areas, including south-east Asia and the Indo-Pacific, they may be 100-150cm higher than previously thought," according to research, published in Nature.

Leadership gets exactly what it deserves. And that’s justice. I suppose.

Right!
Because firms are private government (Anderson, 2017) and leadership capabilities are power law distributed, it follows that OKR-flows mirror Soviet Gosplanning in most org.
To incentive for the most productive W/ AI, within the median functional orgs, is concealment.
“It’s this uneasy relationship between information and power, the individual and the collective, the state and the citizen, and the nation and the state, that the absolute rulers of 17th- and 18th-century Europe would claim to resolve …with the cultivation of salutary terror.”

Tim, it’s almost as though he’s unaware of ex-US, global, revenue.

In countries where students spent a lot of time using devices for leisure during the school day, test scores plummeted between 2012 and 2022. In countries where they spent less time, test scores merely slid. Thus there was a significantly larger decline in scores in the countries where students spent more time using devices for fun during school hours (see Figure 1). 505 500 495 performance mean 490 485 480 475 470 465 460 455 d • Science, less device use • Math, less device use Reading, less device use Science, more device use Reading, more device use Math, more device use 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Figure 1: Scores on standardized tests of math, reading, and science for 15- and 16-year-olds in 36 countries, by low or high use of electronic devices for leisure during the school day.

The global decline in test scores since ~2012 is highly correlated with smartphone penetration

It helped with an intuition about life and learning rates at microscopic scales.
