Introducing SubQ - a major breakthrough in LLM intelligence. It is the first model built on a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture (SSA), And the first frontier model with a 12 million token context window which is: - 52x faster than FlashAttention at 1MM tokens - Less than 5% the cost of Opus Transformer-based LLMs waste compute by processing every possible relationship between words (standard attention). Only a small fraction actually matter. @subquadratic finds and focuses only on the ones that do. That's nearly 1,000x less compute and a new way for LLMs to scale.

Exciting milestone that was a long time coming.
Flight traffic this week has exceeded pre-pandemic levels in China, with 4% more commercial flights in the skies than in 2019. Worldwide, commercial flights continue to grow year over year, closing in on 2019 levels.

Thank you so very much. I was incredibly honored to be inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame and humbled by the number of my friends from FlightAware who joined the ceremony. Thank you.

Surely not. It’s a rare miss.
Do the ScreenTime developers at Apple have children? It's such an important tool and so wickedly difficult to use.

This is not a real feature but it's an interesting idea that will work for some businesses. For Starbucks, it seems like predicting demand prior to ordering and/or providing different options (nearby locations) to smooth demand & set expectations would go over a lot better.

Almost all companies add steps to products for the 99% use case because some committee worried about the 1%.  @tesla is a counter example; enter an address and it immediately navigates without a “go” step. You can cancel & redo but that’s the 1% case that others address first.

A great example of focusing on the 1% use case to the detriment of the 99% is @onepeleton where you have to click "English" then "I have an account" to see the QR code to login, when they could just show the QR code the entire time. xitter.cf/dbakerflight/status/16…
Replying to @onepeloton
@onepeloton The bike UI shouldn’t require two steps to get to the QR login code. Just show it on the main screen. Reduce and eliminate unnecessary steps that are rarely the typical use case.

It's a brutal time for Southwest and the 1M+ customers impacted. However, on another day with 65%+ of flights cancelled and 20%+ of flights delayed, here's a glimpse of the silver lining -- Southwest's airborne fleet.

20 years ago when the Bluetooth earpiece craze was in full swing, I never would have predicted that in 2022, everyone would switch to walking around holding their phone up in the air while talking on speakerphone.

I've seen pilots draw trees before on @flightaware, but the gifts, ornaments, and star are really next-level! Well done! (and probably kudos to @foreflight as well -- team effort!) flightaware.com/live/flight/…

It’s that magical time of year when families everywhere sit around the fireplace and take turns opening the heartfelt mass emailed holiday cards from vendors while sharing stories, laughs, and tears about the likes of their electrical provider and dry cleaner.
