I think @conradludgate was alluding to that we have so much of AI slop these days. But I see your point too. I too like to generate cute and funny images and share it with my friends and family. But this being done at scale can lead to over

So these business cards are from 1940s ? I ask this because on one of the cards the phone number was 10 digits. I would have thought the phone numbers would be shorter. Anyway, pretty cool to see them in high definition and realize they are

So I went back to my chats and there wasn't much there to put in a workflow or something. But here are the things that stood out: > Introduce me to these concepts layer by layer with a textbook style introductions. > Use color co

Great idea! Let me pull some stuff from my past chats, and put it in a github gist or something.

Yes, they are still making that much. I am. I don't fully understand why yet but I think it is because of a few reasons: 1. We still need to keep the lights on. If things go wrong, which they still do, humans have to debug it. 2. Jevon

I think a lot of good might come from medical sciences or chemistry, where LLMs will be used in coming up with new medicines, methods or synthesis.

> cognitive friction is the engine of learning. I agree 100% too. This is why in order to understand new codebase or to ramp up to new projects, I use AI to generate a textbook style reading material for me along with "verify yourse

> It’s tech evangelism, and that scares the shit out of me. I am sorry, but how is this new and why is this scary? The article doesn't make a case for this being genuinely scary. The author may have a valid point or two, but at the

Really? Why ? It's heavy on theory and proofs. I am assuming game developers are interested in the applications of Linear Algebra and there are many other books that are far suited for that. Anyone from game dev community care to elabo

I had this as my very first textbook in community college. Loved it!

Yes, it was absolutely great! It's a good mix of theory and computation. Since it doesn't neglect computation, it's great as an introductory text. After that, and some other math courses you can move on to Linear Algebra Done

Absolutely love Dr. Grinfeld! I watched some of his differential geometry series and his explanations are very accessible!

Thanks again for sharing this information with me. I thought I'd give back. If you are looking for replacement erasers for your autopoint pencil (the slim one), these fit perfectly and come in various colors: https://www.bui

NO WAY!!!! I had heard rumors somewhere that someone bought the rights and the machines but that’s about it! I’m surely going to buy a few! Thank you so much!

Never tried Blackwing pencils, so can't speak about them. I am going to be very very pedantic here so read on for entertain purposes.... I don't like the unusual shape of blackwing pencils' erasers. They break the symmetry of

I never said anything about not getting the current memes and jokes. I was alluding to the current mix of the content on reddit. It has gotten more political and less entertaining if you look at the default feed whether you create an accoun

The discussion quality is unbelievably shallow in most of the subreddits. Unless it's a niche and technical subreddit such as mathematical topics, bio science subtopic, the discussion is quite shallow and in some cases simply misinform

Grok! LOL! Seriously, what's going on there ? Why is it so different from others? Is it just behind technologically/training wise or it's using something fundamentally different?

You are technically right, but I believe the spirit of the question was "how significant Stephen King would be a 1000 years from now?".

> A tensor is nothing but a flat array of numbers, plus some metadata telling you how to interpret those numbers as a multi-dimensional object. Yikes! No. I mean even for the intents and purposes of using this definition in ML, this migh

She specifically said "contemporary lesson" while citing the original WW2 lesson on logistics. By contemporary lesson I assume she means similar lesson but more recent and keeping modern world/logistics in mind.

Same. I might switch back to ChatGPT from Gemini because I use the voice feature all the time. One of my favorite use cases is talking with it while driving on random topics and learning about them.

That was unkind and unnecessary. Please keep these kinds of comments out of HN.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic because I don't know how people view IEEE "digital badges", but anything from MOOCs on LinkedIn stopped being valuable a long time ago, if it ever was.

Here is the linked course in the article: https://iln.ieee.org/public/contentdetails.aspx?id=B570F53B5... $240 (non member price) for a 5 hour course. Did I read that right? Or is it more 5 hours of instructional video

That's a great point. The "vocabulary resolution being low" basically just means within our own limited context, it's low. But that doesn't mean it's a good measure. Heck, I'd say it isn't.

If one were to go about translating brain waves from dogs to meaning, we'd run into a big problem immediately: vocabulary resolution. What I mean by that is we'll have a very limited number of words to which a dog's brainwave

That's just the wafer disc. Looks like it was presented to Sam Altman for ceremonial purposes. The wafer disc is what the CPU gets "printed" on.

I wonder in the case of Francesca Gino, how much of that was driven by Harvard. I remember it was technically initiated by the Harvard business school, but it was probably triggered by data colada launching their own investigation. This spe
