Neil Young's "Philadelphia." Link to video

This is like the Orlando Police taking 2.5 years to occupy my back yard. It's at most 25 miles long and 12 miles wide. Geez, take it over already.

Judging from the abstract, the algorithm would actually be slower than Dijkstra's if the graph is not sparse. But still a cool result. Also, it was published at a reputable venue and survived peer review, it's not just a random arxiv paper.

@Axtremus said in Why has no DoJ employee leaked any of the Epstein files?: @Horace said in Why has no DoJ employee leaked any of the Epstein files?: Depending on the veracity one gives Elon, we can already say there has been a leak of parts of the Epstein files. Just not one with any there there. Since Elon has never been a DoJ employee, whether Elon leaked anything has no bearing on the question on why has no DoJ employee leaked any of the Epstein files. It Elon has seen the Epstein files, or been told of them regarding specifics about Trump, we have a leak. Thus my conditionalizing on Elon’s veracity.

I got four out of five correct, but I was a bit lucky I think. I'd like to hear somebody do the same with saxophone. I suspect it would be harder to make an AI sax sound authentic, unless it was Kenny G.

I certainly hope that turns out to be false.

I think this thread was just a test to see who's sick enough to open it, given the headline.

@xenon said in Cryptocurrencies and Private Market Assets in 401(k): Doesn't the almost make private equity public equity? Still not tradable though. And will look misleadingly stable in someone’s 401k when in reality the underlying value will be all over the place. (Cliff Asness calls it ‘volatility laundering’)
