At one point, the shark thriller Beneath the Storm was ready for a theatrical release by Sony, set for release in 2024. The following year, it was retitled Shiver and…
🔥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: A few weeks ago I wrote about how I thought intelligence is becoming a commodity. The idea is quite straightforward, and widespread now: when everyone races to build the best model, the models get better, but so does every other model eventually.

No comparable primitive has been known for continuous mathematics: computing elementary functions such as sin, cos, sqrt, and log has always required multiple distinct operations. Here I show that a single binary operator, eml(x,y)=exp(x)-ln(y), together with…

Structured around striking time signatures and wry tales of unfulfilled lovers and misplaced pills, its tracks referenced everything from UK funky to new wave and sea shanties.
