It seems like it would be great for any kind of voiceover work or any recorded training or presentation. If you want to correct a mis-speak or add some information, instead of re-recording the entire segment, you could seamlessly update a f

Your job is now to find a new job. Push as hard as you can on job searching. Dial down the effort you are putting into your current job. You absolutely should not stay where you are. You are also extremely unlikely to be able to make any p

I did eventually show a teacher and they were shocked. Their older eyes had no way of focusing on the text and they could barely tell it was anything but a sheet with grey lines.

Whe I was in high school I had plenty of dull classes to sit through. I’m old enough that there were no phones and laptops to keep entertained. My parents had a laser printer for their business. I realized that it had a very high DPI and al

These apps have sounded like an incredible cesspool for a long time, though I have been recently hearing they are even worse. Honestly, I think the very concept is broken from the start. Neurotypical people do not need to use online dating

I had the same thought from Thinking, Fast and Slow. Another variation of this seems to be the “thought loop” that agents such as Devin and AutoGPT use.

I don’t think you’ll find many people on HN that are too concerned. On the other hand, I truly pity aspiring devs in school now. The drawbridges on the profession seem like they are getting raised and I don’t know how an intern or junior ca

I’m not sure what the use case is outside of having real time information about the world as a search replacement. For example, if a major event or discovery happened, the model would know about it once a critical mass of news stories and d

Reddit seems to have well and truly jumped the shark. Most of their communities are barely moderated wastelands. Bot activity is absolutely rampant. It had a golden age, but I have no idea how this survives in the post LLM world.

It’s funny, because while technically correct, you may end up fundamentally wrong that there was a limit to the value we might find in parallel compute. After all, we may have lie of sight to AGI through parallel scale alone.

Certainly not. UBI is basic. It’s subsistence living. Anyone with a job would enjoy the benefits of their labor.

No, of subjective cognitive decline. Not decline as measured through testing, decline as self-reported. Basically pot makes you less self-aware.

Because it’s not a helicopter! It’s a fixed wing aircraft, making it very much not a helicopter. It would also be reasonable to rename an aircraft class if it was significantly different from other aircraft. For example, an electric, vertic

One of the best sites remaining from the old internet. I am always happy to learn it’s still going.

I don’t think we are at a plateau. We may have fed a large amount of text into these models, but when you add up all other kinds of media, images, videos, sound, 3D models, there’s a castle more rich dataset about the world. Sora showed tha

This feeling has been accelerating for me. I get the sense that state actors are ramping up their use of LLM powered bots. Hacker news is a great place still, but Reddit has become a void except for some of the more niche subs. I also see m

I guess I have a different perspective since having children naturally is not in my cards. Needing the child to be genetically related to me through IVF vs. adopting always seemed a bit self centered.

I don’t think there’s any one size fits all way to digital nomad. I go back to the same places year after year. My friends and family are in those places. They are not in New York and San Francisco, I have no family there. My partner and I

I understand it, or at least what it could be. Picture something in eyeglasses or even invisible contacts or neural implant. It adds an AR layer on everything. There are no devices, no screens, no buttons. You look and think and the world r

Not that it failed per se, but there were lots of reports that they ended up at a very bulky and compromised headset that was not much different than what Meta was selling when they really wanted AR glasses. Reports also said the executives

I wonder if this is connected to the Vision Pro release. That’s another giant hardware fishing project that failed to meet the “vision” of an all-day wearable iPhone. Perhaps it became obvious that the car was in even murkier waters. And to

They are probably thinking that life starts to pass by fast and wondering where the last 10 years went. I had some friends living interesting lives when I was settled. Sailing the globe, doing seasonal work in the arctic and backcountry ski

Oh that’s true. She was a most excellent chatbot. But I don’t recall her making images, movies or composing music. I recall that movie seemed cute but probably technologically impossible. Now it’s reality for many users of AI girlfriends.
