Serious question 🤓: How much human effort is going into the improvement of frontier AI models? Conversely, how much model improvement is intrinsic?

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

Few pairs in the $1 million tournament know each other better than France’s Gael Monfils and Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina. That’s because they’ve been married since 2021. on.wsj.com/4gl8T4N

Ted didn’t notice the name of the account who posted this Dolly clip he retweeted until it was much too late. He finally deleted it after he was made aware.

From timeless classics like 'Jolene' to the pop anthems that took over the world, join me tonight at 9 PM Eastern for a full hour celebrating the one and only Dolly Parton right here on TheLex.

We’ll always love you, Dolly www.reuters.com/lifestyle/do...

Dolly Parton was around six when she wrote her first song: "Little Tiny Tasseltop," an ode to her corncob doll with corn-silk hair. Her mother stored it preciously in a shoebox.

If I had to take a stab at explaining this mess - He was born in Youngstown just up the road and I think this is less of a "got popped for sex" thing and more of a "had troubles scoring drugs when home and got caught in a prostitution sting because of it", but that's all pure speculation

As a centrist, I never criticize RFK Jr. for lying about vaccines, ivermectin, raw sewage, and 5G radiation. Here's why I think Anthony Fauci should be hanged for downplaying the lab leak theory of COVID.

Honestly I think they may have confused perimeters with parameters but they may have just as well said Perambulators and it would have been just as meaningful.

Heh

The Eagles are #1 today in 1975 with “One of These Nights”. “.. It's like, putting things off,” said Frey. “Everybody I'm sure has said, 'One of these nights I'm gonna .. whatever, get that girl, make that money, buy that house. .. Everyone's saving it for 'someday.' And 'someday' is up to you."

It’s rabbit ears.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Anyone remember Ronald Coase?

‘Abolish the FCC’: Agency’s pro-Trump tilt stirs small-government conservatives

The word he needed was TRANSISTORS. Transistors act as the tiny on/off electronic switches that form the foundation of digital computing. Because they dictate a processor's power, efficiency, and intelligence, how they design and pack them directly shapes the performance of modern microchips.

An airline is reportedly preparing to allow passengers free flight changes if they’d rather not pass through President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
