FYI the Analogue Pocket supports a number of OpenFPGA emulators quite well, I have several carts but also plenty of harder to find NES, SNES and GBA roms loaded right on.

I disagree. ratfuck is a specific term, not just a general pejorative. and I think class traitor is appropriate here as well. but i get what you're saying. that's the result, pro and con, of the shift away from edited journalism t

I enjoyed the feeling when I made this connection talking with a startup doing this a while back. It's just a different "language" and although it's not a given that LLMs can operate in it, it's a reasonable thing t

yeah we are struggling with this question too, though an honest subjective assessment on everyday tasks has value, just as benchmarks do. no one has really solved this yet https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/23/why

Lang's Fairy Books are interesting though obviously very "of the time," as we say. But in those and his work editing the Folk-Lore Journal (of which I have a few volumes) he was taking on or nurturing some really serious anth

That explains why I got this email from my broadband provider this morning: >We've increased your internet speeds to show you our appreciation I was wondering what I'd done to deserve it!

I'm curious about grain encoding - did you work on that at all? My friend heard they were doing a grain extraction layer that was re-added client side. Feel free to contact devin@techcrunch if you have any interesting insight.

Don't underestimate the power of informal networks. Buzz is hard to quantify but it clearly has a huge effect on "real" metrics like citations.

Of course you're right, my mistake. And it's sitting right here next to me... embarrassing. Anyhow, all worth reading.

There's plenty of good fights out there recently... this writer just hasn't watched them. Korea is putting out a ton of great action. Obviously stuff like Oldboy and Man From Nowhere, but watch The Yellow Sea, or the recent Netfli

Funny that the word is the same as the 9th "canonical hour," Nones, which is what I thought at first. Probably because I'm reading a book set in the 15th century.

You might want to read "His Master's Voice" or "Roadside Picnic" by Stanislaw Lem. The first one especially concerns what you're talking about, and the second (basis for "Stalker") is a little more of

I don't know what to tell you. I've tested dozens of pairs of headphones and some have a clearly, obviously larger soundstage than others, with the same exact inputs. Others have a more "inside" feel. I think we must sim

I don't think this is correct. The headphones themselves certainly have an large effect on the size and quality of the soundstage. Obviously encoding binaural delay and other psychoacoustic features is important too. But Apple is far f

by devindotcom 3y ago
I don't mean to question your experience, but the inside/outside thing can very easily be a property of the headphones, not the mix. Certainly mixing it to emphasize that is a choice, but a good stereo mix is really not so fundame

My guess is there are huge opportunities for fairly mundane uses of GPT models in military database and research work. A ban on military uses would include, for instance, not allowing the Army Corps of Engineers to use it to improve disaste

for what it's worth, i asked altman directly and he denied using libgen or books2, but also deferred to murati and her team on specifics. but the Q&A wasn't recorded and they haven't answered my follow-ups.
