I don't know if it's a scam but there's been guys hanging around the local greyhound station with stories like "my phone battery died while I was on the bus, can I use your phone to call my buddy to pick me up". And

So who's going to build the sex phone line where you can talk to celebrities like Marilyn Monroe?

Die? I think it's die. Look at Biden, Putin, Xi, and Rupert Murdoch they range from old to really fucking old.

Yeah this thread has been the motivation for me to sign up on the wait list and cost out what it would take to try fine-tuning their older models on our data. There's still plenty of work out there when it comes to building a solution

The price isn't even that bad, even the most expensive at 6cents per 1k tokens, it won't cost me much. It's the context size that's amazing. Gone are the days of only being able to pass ~500 tokens into something like BE

I'm not at a big tech company, and we don't sell algorithms, but my team does use a lot of NLP stuff in internal algorithms. The only panic I have is trying to keep up and take the time to learn the new stuff. If anything, things

If you're in NA, I bet there's undergrads running around campus just as skimpily dressed. What do you do, walk around with your eyes closed lest you be fired for looking at a woman in public?

The sad thing is this isn't even that hot of take given what happened with Facebook and the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar...

Thousands of laid off tech workers playing around with the bot / scraper / side project they always wanted to build? Maybe we'll see a flood of indie games on steam in 6 months too.

If it's trained on material scraped from the web, I imagine it would include all the test prep sites and forums.

They weren't all strictly the same though, there's some variations on the theme. One company in the past was in the business of buying fish from fishermen in small remote towns, transporting and selling it wholesale. They were als

Aw come on, those little hands are just perfect for getting into and cleaning all the nooks and crannies of industrial equipment.

Heck, there's this case where the workers aren't even citizens. Just cheap labor imported en mass to work in the service/hospitality industry: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island&#x2F

Are bidders expected to forget or "un-see" such knowledge afterwards? Or is the information not that detailed / anonymized in some way?

The analogy kind of breaks down because black swans all look the same so I'll propose switching to snowflake events. Each one is beautiful and unique and we're starting to head into a flurry of them.
