fwiw this is exactly what i thought - oai pursued it as a skillset (likely using a large chess dataset) for their own reasons and then abandoned it as not particularly beneficial outside chess. It's still interesting to try to replicat

Every piece called out here is clearly labeled "opinion" - did they even read the normal news and analysis sections? Countless newspapers and outlets and actual scientific journals have opinion/editorial sections that are gen

I've always loved this quote: "What audacious criminal, what mystifier, what maniac collector, what insane lover, has committed this abduction?" Though Peruggia claims he did it out of patriotism, I've always nursed the

FYI (and to those concerned) I ended up changing the headline after Aravind clarified. Since they are an AI company offering AI-powered election-day tracking that would presumably have replaced what the striking folks supported, I think it

"Bending the knee" is a way to say that someone knelt - going down on one knee, a sign of loyalty and subservience. In this context it implies Bezos acknowledges Trump as an authority he submits to.

You want them to name... readers of newspapers? Editorials, by an outlet's editorial board or otherwise, have consistently been among the most popular content in news for over a century. That includes endorsements.

I understand diffusion models somewhat, but I simply don't understand how the actual denoising steps can be skipped in this method. Like isn't the whole point of diffusion, which this uses as a basis, that it must go stepwise from

I have more or less the same setup and frustrations. I just have a list of things in my head (certain settings panels, calculator app) that I know neither Everything nor Launchy can find, and those are the one time that week I click the sta

Rotoscoping is great but pretty labor intensive and not really creative in itself, though it can obviously be part of a very creative process. That makes it a perfect candidate for AI/ML tools to accelerate and I hope they do (or rathe

It took a little getting used to - i had the same qualm. But honestly, I don't mind now at all. The text adjustment is very fine in the default reader and the resolution is high, so pick a font you find readable and it's really no

I have a Palma (they sent for review) and I think it's great, though I agree it probably isn't worth the price for most. https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/03/boox-ereaders-poke-5-palma... But the text

Go back to Suetonius and The Twelve Caesars. Amazing read, even if you can't believe everything. The contemporary (or close) historians are lots of fun.

Anecdotally, all of my friends renting have had their rents continually raised with no breaks. Perhaps there is a wider trend, but if so, their landlords do not seem aware of it.

Yeah, I had to work with SOs in my previous job and this sounds accurate. It's very hard to characterize this kind of thing though so if anyone else is curious it would be best to read up a bit on modern approaches.

An odd article. Their previous work hits a lot of the same notes. But the selective transparency on the methods - for instance, only briefly describing how they arrived at these "taboo conclusions" - suggests they're more int

Yeah it's pretty gross. I've tried to move away from synthetic fabrics wherever possible. It's just plastic. I learned recently that a huge amount of the lint you see in the dryer is microplastics. Guess what? A similar amoun
