I don't know what OP's intent was, but the objective reading is likely true; they have (previously) been miscalculated.

Louis XIV famously said "You have cost me more territory than all my enemies" when he received a more accurate map of France in 1682 (the Cassini map), showing its size was ~20% smaller than previously calculated.


Efficient LLM interaction is context management. The golden rule: Nothing irrelevant in context.

Non-exhaustive consequences of following that rule:

* Each session handles one task, or at most, a few tightly coupled tasks.

* Emotions stay out of context; no showing frustration, no saying thanks (or at least wait until you're about to end the session)

* When possible, provide relevant files (or sections of files) instead of making the model search and read many irrelevant files.

* Keep CLAUDE.md short.

* Disable irrelevant tools.

* Revert history when the model makes mistakes. Don't make it read its mistake and fix it; fork the chat before the mistake and exclusively mention the correct action.

Attention is more limited than the context limits imply; stuff at the beginning of context stays high-attention for a while, stuff right at the end is always high-attention. If you're about to ask for something the model frequently forgets (eg, style), remind it that those instructions exist ("Following the style guidelines, implement feature X.")


Denmark's been in the top 3 of the "World Happiness Report" since the report started, the rest of the Nordic countries are always near the top of the list, too. Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world 9 years running.

That seems like a good place to start looking.

(commissioned by the UN, polls are run by Gallup, report is put out by Oxford, and the editorial board is multinational and doesn't have any Nordic nationals; seems reasonably unbiased to me)


Thanks. I wasn't aware of this interesting report.

It wasn't easy for me to interpret these rankings though, or how they came up with the life evaluation score. More explanation around that would have been helpful. The column headers have hover-descriptions, but they don't really say how the values were calculated.

Anyway - it does seem that Scandinavian countries are well represented at the top. That's not too surprising. Costa Rica at #4 is very unintuitive to me. Viet Nam at #1 for freedom is REALLY surprising to me, having visited there a number of times and having many Vietnamese friends. Likewise, The United States at 104 on freedom seems very weird.

Ideally it would run a web search to check questionable knowledge. Google-fu has been one of the most important SWE skills for a long time!


The wind is the major problem.

During the ~1 week of the year where it's safest to summit, they're typically looking at 15kph winds with up to 50kph gusts. Conditions are worse for the rest of the year. It's unsafe to try to hover near the ground in those conditions, and the thinner atmosphere just compounds that problem.

Also, you're talking about designing a new, specialized helicopter... that's not cheap, and someone would have to pay for it. What's the commercial incentive?


Remember how, for SEO purposes, every food blog has to bs a multi-page story that everyone scrolls past to get to the 10 line recipe?

That's training data too; that's how we got here.


It’s not only for that. The story provide them the copyright protection since recipes are not copyrighted


Very large primes are not a particularly useful result.

The mathematical tools which people develop along the way to finding them can be useful for other number theory problems.
