Does this make sense with economics of software though? Throwaway products compete with more durable versions of the same product because there is a cost per unit produced that can be minimized by using cheaper materials or production proce

Do investors still not care about revenue and profits at a $300 billion valuation? Seems like the bigger problem for them is that they are losing money on the vast majority of those WAUs with no obvious route to profitability because most t

I bet my entire Beanie Baby stash that your NFT stash won't be worth anything by the time you're ready to judge this bet.

Yep. This example basically convinced me that they were unable to figure out anything actually useful to do with the model's new capabilities. Which makes me wonder how capable the new model in fact is.

It's weird seeing comments like this that argue simultaneously: 1) LLMs aren't stochastic parrots anymore! 2) You can't prove humans aren't stochastic parrots! It pretty clear the whole point is minimize the difference b

Not really an open market when one company has as large a share of sales as steam. Valve may have a different ethos from Apple, but both agree on principle of extracting monopoly rents.

So fun much scrolling past all the blue check morons at the top of all the replies to any popular post. No changes at all.

I’m skeptical. There is a lot wiggle room in “no specific training”. Could just mean the didn’t fine tune the model for any of tests. Their training data probably included many past LSAT exams and certainly included many instances of people

Yes such useful and constructive new ways organize Ponzi schemes. Andreessen is a member of the laptop class himself, just one of the most grating ones. Seems to think telling other people to build makes him a builder. YIMBY in his tweets,

Excited a future where a bullshit generator helps automate the rationalization of redlining! So great! Just like this website and community around.

Depends on how that labor is valued. Just because a project creates jobs with export value in country doesn’t mean that project is a net benefit for the people of that country. A project like a waste reprocessing facility might create expor

Hmm? No equating happening in my comment. The point was that just because statement is about a political group doesn't mean it's a only an opinion. Mentioning Nazi Germany is just using an extreme example to make clear that statem

What makes it an opinion? If I were to say that the Nazi party in Germany peddled in hatred and demonization of already-marginalized groups would you say that is an opinion? Just because a statement pertains to political groups doesn't

Yes the HN cogniscenti have such a fine sense of humor. Why share some of it lads? Nah man, jokes are forbidden on HN.

Definitely seems like more of reddit comment than a HN one. I had a laugh though so thanks and here's to more laughs until dang shows up and takes all the fun out of HN for umpteenth time.

I strongly disagree. I would quite happy to invest a venture like if I was confident it would help us make a transition to renewable energy faster, even if the ROI was significantly worse on average than S&P. My concern is how do I know

The could have chosen to work on smaller models and used their already substantial amount of funding to be truly open. Instead they chose a path that demonstrates the Open part in OpenAI was just marketing.

You can use it to infill subregions. Or you could add a “but <your requested edit>“ to your and run again. It’s not super robust to prompts involving complicated composition though so that might not be a reliable strategy.

This is about heating more than cooking as heating is a way bigger energy use for most households, but you are seriously proposing it would a smart move to build out gas delivery infrastructure just so people can keep cooking with gas? More

It’s deeply depressing that none of the comments here so far are positive toward this move. The earth will be utterly transformed by climate change in next century to detriment of nearly every living thing on it. We have only one reliable

Chromatic aberration may be a contributing factor, but I am surprised the author didn’t mention that S cones (which we use to perceive blue) are only 2% of the cones in the retina [1]. Additionally S cones are distributed randomly when comp
