Geospatial data would be great. This stuff is notoriously annoying to search for. For example:

"Give me a list of free imagery service endpoints I can use in a maplibre style sheet. Include information such as name, description, service endpoint, service type, extent (global/regional)."

This might be possible if you specify geospatial location as an enriched column. The visualization of it as a map though is not supported in the UI, but can be built by giving an LLM access to the Websets API

Look into Vincenty [1] or Karney (for a more robust solution) [2]. Vincenty should be good enough for most use cases.

Has Reddit ever spoken publicly about this issue? I would think this to be an existential threat in the long term. Posting patterns can be faked and the models are just getting better and better. At some point, subreddits like changemyview will become accepted places to roleplay with entertaining LLM-generated content. My young teenager has a default skepticism of everything online and treats gen AI in general with a mix of acceptance and casual disdain. I think it's bad if Reddit becomes more and more known as just an AI dumping ground.

Maybe people will gradually take AI impersonations for granted. "Yeah, my wife is an AI. So is the priest who married us. What of it?"

It would be neat to run their pdf through their implementation[1] and compare results.

I decided to do that, and made Paper2Code2Code: https://github.com/alexyorke/Paper2Code2Code/tree/main

And... does it work?

Damn, i was hoping the link was your result of that. Please do that. I can't start another project currently. But i'd love the short result as an anecdote. But if you don't do it, i might have to. Please let me know. Great idea, really.

If I was the paper author I would have done it and include the results as an appendix or a repo.

haha would that itself be a product of the paper then?

Maybe by doing it enough times o3-mini will end up reimplementing itself?

It's be something like this that creates the Singularity, just you see

Imagine, this was actually the consequence— against all odds. The true power of AI is about to be discovered... through this silly experiment... and you are the one... all you gotta do— is do it. And imagine you don't do it, because you think it can't lead to such a serious result... and if we miss this great leap forward... go, throw your life away and do this. now. the universe is waiting on you, my friend.

That's how nothing ever works outside fiction.

I thought it would be humorously ironic :D

I love crows so much. I had some in my backyard that I would give stuff too a lot. When I would leave in the morning for work, they would perch on my gutters and make clucking sounds while looking down at me. I'd wave and be on my way.

We have been very welcoming to the crows in our backyard and they now hang out with the chickens and ducks when they get leftovers / table scrapes.

Now they are arriving slightly before the hawks and other predators and scaring them off.

If you see crows randomly arrive, and look around, there is almost always a circling bird in the sky.

It's super cool.

I was watching some crows eat some food in a parking lot yesterday. The first one landed next to a tiny morsel, investigated it a bit, then did a head bob thing while looking up and making what sounded like a cross between a hoot and a caw. Another crow swooped in about ten seconds later and they poked at it a bit. Then a lady walked over towards them, they flew away, and she dumped out her half eaten to-go meal in the parking spot. Too easy.

I had a 17 year old account that got shadow banned so I went ahead and deleted it. All comments I've ever made there were in good faith and respectful and I avoided hot topic discussions (i.e. the entirety of the front page). It's no big deal. I'd say up until 2014 or so the site was pretty decent. The decline in quality in recent years is especially remarkable. Maybe they are trying to do something about this, resulting in people getting caught in the crossfire. I've moved to old-school forums for niche topics of interest. Even niche subreddits have really poor discourse these days. I'm tired of interacting with random user names as well. It's nice to recognize who you are talking to.

Vespers is great. I also recommend the classic Lovecraftian adventure, Anchorhead.

This post went from #2 to #91 in an instant, maybe that has something to do with it?

I suppose that's debatable but the point is the site is heavily moderated, something the owners can manage without volunteers for now because it doesn't appeal to the mainstream. I think your post is interesting and should have stayed, for what it's worth. I think it's a topic worth discussing but alas, many people just thought you were a bot as well. It really highlights the state of things.

I've started using old-school forums where I can find them for communities I care about (e.g. music production forums like vi-control...sometimes Hans Zimmer shows up!). It's a joy when you find one, kinda feels like the old days. The only annoying thing is the never-die threads. Some threads on these forums are over 15 years old. But honestly, I've really soured on the voting mechanic.
