You can just run more tests to get increased statistical power.

Saying we don’t understand why LLMs are intelligent is both true and completely unrelated to religion. You inserted the word “spirit” so perhaps you are the one conflating the two.

Correct, my opinions have nothing to do with financials. If I was around for the discovery of fire I wouldn’t be wondering about the impact on the bottom line.

If Acetaminophen started exhibiting signs of human level intelligence I would have a similar perspective

It’s not a religious angle, we literally don’t know how or why these models work. Yes we know how to grow them, but we don’t know what is actually going on inside of them. This is why Anthropic’s CEO wrote the post he did about the need for

Yep, this time it’s different.

I’m saying that seeing dubious economics is blinding people from accepting what’s actually going on with neural networks, and it leads to them having a profoundly miscalibrated mental model. This is not like analyzing a typical tech cycle

Yeah, I know. It’s weird to admit this kind of obvious error in public though, speaks to a very big epistemological hole on your part.

Do people really buy this nonsense? I mean just this week Sora 2 is creating videos that were unimaginable a few months ago. People writing these screeds at this point to me seem like they’re going through some kind of coping mechanism that

I tried that and it made the gameplay worse since it harmed your ability to control the camera precisely with your hand. The goal of this is primarily to enable gameplay, and secondarily to deliver a portal effect.

That’s not the main app, that’s the controller app you install on a phone to use with the main app. The main app must be side loaded, because Google will not approve it in the Play store since it installs third party apps.

I video it and demo it on a tablet since it helps make it clear how it works, but my preferred display device is a Galaxy Fold. Pockets great, and is a nice comfortable size when unfolded.

I was going to name it Portal, but I named it PortalVR to minimize confusion. It’s called PortalVR because there is no better name to describe what it’s like to play VR this way. It is like playing games by looking through a portal you hold

Truthfully I’m just going to stop posting here. This place has become a disaster in terms of the general attitude of many commenters. The spirit of the site is to celebrate hacking, and this person is trashing some of the greatest hackers a

Correct, the person you are replying to is telling on themselves!

This is the kindest response I’ve ever seen to someone suffering from whatever it is that causes these kinds of comments on this specific website.

C++ is king for game engines , but many games opt for languages like Lua or Unreal Blueprints because C++ is to those as Rust is to C++ Personally I like Javascript

I wonder why they didn’t go with the file system permissions on the .auto.conf file, and gracefully handling that as a way to disable the feature. Seems like an obvious solution that doesn’t lead to surprising semantics. The container use c

I mean kinda. But there's a good chance this is also misleading. Lots of people have been fooled into thinking LLMs are inherently stupid because they have had bad experiences with GPT-3.5. The whole point is that the mistakes they mak

Sounds like you understand WebRTC yet take issue with describing it as a p2p-enabling technology. It is literally technology which enabled peer to peer connectivity in the browser. Without it, browsers would not be able to directly connect

Stop whatever you're doing right now and go sign up for $20/mo at claude.ai and use Claude Opus. There's something like 20 or 30 IQ points you can add to your experience by just doing this simple step.

When I went to school office hours was where you went if you wanted to get hints on what you needed to know for the exam, not to learn stuff. It was a means to an end. Honestly I never even considered the idea that office hours could help m

Yeah once it becomes clear you’re in the kind of forum I am talking about the satisfaction doesn’t come from the presumed effect on others but the signal that you actually may have said something important.

Flash was great, someone creating a better Flash has been long overdue. I think Rive looks like a great attempt at a new Flash.
