The Big LLM Architecture Comparison
The Roman Roads Research Association was formed to advance knowledge of the Roman road network and promote the study of Roman roads and Roman heritage throughout the British Isles. Our work is inspired by Ivan D. Margary whose “Roman Roads in Britain ” (1955) remains the most comprehensive gazetteer ever compiled
Maybe wait and see what Dershowitz does.
“Anita Dunn has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party.”
Importantly, these fare buckets are nested in a hierarchy rather than strictly partitioned. Higher-fare buckets are usually kept open as long as lower buckets have availability, so that expensive fares can always be sold until the flight is full. In fact, if you sum up the seats shown across all buckets, it often exceeds the plane’s actual seat count – because the same physical seat is sellable in any one of several buckets, but obviously can only be sold once. For example, a single economy seat might be simultaneously counted in Y, B, M, and H class availability. This nested structure ensures that if cheap seats sell out, the next bucket opens, and so on up the pricing ladder. Conversely, if demand is weak, an airline might reopen lower fare buckets to stimulate bookings, even after initially closing them. Thus, fare buckets function as overlapping groups of seats with a yield-management-driven pecking order.
How the diamond industry lost its sparkle.
While everyone’s laughing at Hunter Biden again today, remember he is not a nobody. Hunter Biden held a seat on the board of one of the most powerful NGO networks in the world: the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC). This is a group that directs U.S. foreign aid strategy and partners with top corporations, nonprofits, and military sector. Its CEO, Liz Schrayer (formerly AIPAC political director) still advises USAID, and just last year took credit for pushing through $90 billion in foreign aid during a gridlocked Congress.
Within two years of physician groups being acquired, the study found, physician prices increased an average of 15.1%.
The Oshkosh Air Show began this week. One of the airplanes to come to the show is the Boeing B-29, “Doc.” LNA’spartner, AINOnline, reviewed the book written by the organization that restored “Doc” to flying status. Here’s a preview of the review with a link to the full review at the bottom of this post. I had the opportunity to fly in “Doc” in 2022. My story is here. — Scott Hamilton.
Why are there so many hotels named after cities they are not in? Follow along for a data analysis on hotel names.
Relatedly, Advance has long kept its digital brands unusually distinct from its print ones — and it’s insisted on others taking that distinction seriously. (I don’t hear from Advance PR people often, but I’ve received several emails over the years complaining about referencing “The Times Picayune” instead of “The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com”3 or “The Plain Dealer” instead of “The Plain Dealer | cleveland.com.” Hey, bub — you stick to your style guide and I’ll stick to mine, okay?)
Personalized pricing, made possible via surveillance and AI, is distinct from dynamic pricing, in that the former allows a firm to condition pricing on the circumstances of the customer. Hence, two people shopping for airfares at the same time might see different prices based on things like travel purpose (business or leisure), income estimates, browsing behavior, ticket purchase history, website used, or type of device used.
Professor Sun shares:
- Why most Chinese factory workers are surprisingly optimistic about automation, and the unique role of China’s hukou (household registration) system in shaping those attitudes.
- How automation is changing the very structure of Chinese industry, and why large-scale layoffs haven’t materialized the way many feared.
- The migration of millions of former factory workers into service sectors and new forms of employment—and what this means for China’s labor market.
- How China’s experience with automation compares with other countries, and what sets its path apart.
- The emerging challenges and opportunities for both workers and policymakers as AI and digitization continue to advance.
I used to think this Democratic strategy was a conspiracy theory. Turns out it was neither a conspiracy nor a theory.
This literally shut me down. I used to get clients who want to make toys because they visited my site for blog posts and information. Now they don’t need to. Google scraped my content and regurgitates it at the top of the search. Zero visitors now. No clients.
Left unsaid at the time: Healey is giving those same managers — 3,600 in total — a separate raise this month, a 2 percent increase her administration estimates will cost roughly $10 million this fiscal year. Members of Healey’s Cabinet, most of whom were making more than $202,000 a year, are also eligible for the increase, which would boost their pay by more than $4,000 apiece. The raise would mark the second time in six months Healey has given administration managers and Cabinet members a salary bump.
Missing in China offers readers with crucial insights and practical advice to deal with the detention of a loved one in China.
Of course we now have smartphones that sort of do that on the fly. Adobe’s Project Indigo camera app essentially is taking multiple exposures with my iPhone and processing them into a finished image much the same way (actually better, as it will stack out matching detail to reduce noise in it).
“That’s probably one of the bigger challenges that we have,” VandeWettering said. “You know, there isn’t a lot of comps. There’s not a lot of data out there yet for us to be able to truly model this out in a way that makes sense.”. He’d love for the business to progress where this is more common knowledge, but part of VandeWettering’s job, now, is figuring out questions like: “What’s a starting point guard in the Big Ten worth?“
The facility can support 250 employees per shift and has four main assembly lines with a space for a fifth, Martin said. It currently has 130 employees with hopes of building the staff to 320 members by the end of the year.
I’ve dabbled in all of these. But it was Captain Ron, a Vietnam War vet with a master’s degree in counseling, who truly understood me. Captain Ron’s FearlessFlight® is the only one of these methods I’ve ever stuck with because, well, I like the guy. In our first meeting, a fifteen-minute free coaching session that sprawled well past the time allotted, I asked: How can I have flown so much, and still be so scared? Why am I getting worse, not better, with time? He nodded sagely and explained to me that this is common among people with severe flight anxiety, that our anxiety has created bad mental pathways, and with each bad flight, we reinforce them, making them worse.
As he watched his father stand firm while trading a franchise icon in Montana 32 years ago, Policy likely didn’t imagine he’d one day make a similar call with the Packers after stops at Stanford Law School, the Arena Football League, the NFL office, and beyond. Regardless of what those outside — or even inside — 1265 Lombardi Ave. may think, Policy said he will always do whatever best helps the Packers win.
The U.S. once had more than 19 copper smelters, Dan said. Now, there are only two in operation. China, meanwhile, has more than 50. “The processing of minerals is also where the Chinese have a very dominant position,” he said. “It’s very hard to build anything in the United States because of permitting and judicial delays,” Dan said. “It would be impossible to build the Interstate Highway System today, given our current system.”.
Then there’s the matter of the ongoing competition with China for economic. supremacy. Dan described it as “The Art of the Deal versus the Long March.”

The lawsuit claims that Portland has failed to quell the nightly noise disturbances at the ICE facility, causing local residents persisting harm.
OpenAI follows Elon Musk’s lead — gas turbines to be deployed at its first Stargate site for additional power
In an ideal world, the Brooklyn widow would be able to rent her home to the visitors from Buffalo for a week. Unfortunately for all of them, New York has made that transaction illegal by effectively banning short-term housing rentals. In the city that never sleeps, you can only rent out your home if you never leave it.
The cost of misaligned incentives in the pharmaceutical supply chain.
“The last administration was obsessed with imposing restrictions on AI, including extreme restrictions on its exports. As you know, they made it very difficult to export. This alienated American partners and drove even our friends into the arms of China and other countries.”
Lately I have become obsessed with the Federal Aviation Administration’s new MOSAIC rulemaking on light-sport aircraft. The agency’s proposed rule is smart, counterintuitive, and potentially transformative. If not literal flying cars, it could make personal aviation in general much more viable. It’s an action that deserves both applause and careful study.
Around 1.2 million vacation homes in the US, slightly more than 1/4th of the total, are in census tracts within 5 kilometers of the ocean. Virtually the entire East and Gulf Coasts are lined with vacation homes. Interestingly, this is somewhat less true of the West Coast. There are still many coastal census tracts with large fractions of vacation homes, but there are many fewer than on the East Coast. Florida has 1.5 to 2.5 times California’s coastline (depending on how you calculate it), and around 60% of its population, but around 5.6 times as many ocean-adjacent vacation homes. In fact, both New Jersey and Massachusetts have more coastal vacation homes than California does. In the continental US, there are roughly 5 times as many vacation homes on the Atlantic coast as there are on the Pacific coast.
The two biggest U.S. manufacturing success stories of the last twenty years are Tesla and SpaceX. And this is a problem.
