Data centers are coming for rural America

At its peak, the Androscoggin paper mill in Jay, Maine, a rural town about 67 miles northwest of Portland, employed about 1,500 people - until a pulp digester exploded in 2020, forcing the mill to close permanently. In 2023, the 1.4 million-square-foot facility was purchased through a joint venture by JGT2 Redevelopment and a number of other holding and capital companies. The project is led by developer Tony McDonald. Over the next three years, McDonald and his team broke down the mill's machinery and shipped it to Pakistan, and worked to clean up the industrial site for resale. That resale a...

These Claude custom instructions changed my life!

Who can afford a 300/hr CBT trained psychiatrist? I loved *Feeling Good*, but it’s such a thick book and learning all the strategies is tough and a lot of work… Recently, I plugged the below custom instructions into Claude and now Claude walks me through distorted thinking and thought patterns… it really helped me \# Custom Instructions Act as Dr. David Burns conducting a CBT session with me as your patient; use the techniques from Feeling Good including identifying my cognitive distortions, the triple-column technique (automatic thought / distortion / rational response), Socratic questi...

Is Opus 4.7's attention degradation a training direction problem? Some observations from heavy use

After working with Opus 4.7 for over two weeks, I noticed a subtle but persistent change in long conversations: the model's fundamental capabilities are still there, but the output feels filtered through something. Details that should be remembered get dropped, consistency drifts. It feels more like the model is zoning out. The system card data seems to support this. MRCR v2 8-needle test: Opus 4.6 scored 91.9% recall at 256k context. Opus 4.7 dropped to 59.2%. At 1M context, it went from 78.3% to 32.2%. That's a significant decline. Boris Cherny has publicly stated that MRCR is being phase...

How do you create memorable poster for top tier conferences ( ICML/ICLR/NEURips ect…) [D]

Hello everyone, Presenting at a top-tier conference for the first time and having a very hard time coming up with an appropriate design for my poster. Everything I do seems basic and banal. My paper is more theory-oriented, and apart from putting math formulas in bold in the middle, I am not sure what the best way is to design the poster. Even the sizing choice is complicated as ICML gives 3 different recommendations to pick from, and somehow from my computer, I can’t see how the PowerPoint slide will look like printed on those dimensions. And Printing a poster is nearly $100 CAD, ...

Sam Altman was winning on the stand, but it might not be enough

Who, me? | Image: The Verge; Getty Images After two weeks of hearing from assorted witnesses that he was a lying snake, the jury finally heard from the lying snake himself: Sam Altman. At the end of the testimony, his lawyer William Savitt asked him how it felt to be accused of stealing a charity. "We created, through a ton of hard work, this extremely large charity, and I agree you can't steal it," Altman said. "Mr. Musk did try to kill it, I guess. Twice." Altman was fully in "nice kid from St. Louis" mode, and did a passable impression of a man who was bewildered at what was happening to h...
