I have literally the exact same problem. Now I can sit on my couch in a much more comfortable and ergonomic? position with 4k screen size virtual display. Plus I can watch movies with the sound on and not wake anyone up.

Nah it’s bigger than 1080… You can choose 4k resolution and get extra real estate

Had similar experiences: Running late, took a webex call from the back of my minivan on my MacBook Pro. Except I had enough screen real estate with the virtual monitor to do work during the boring parts. The best part was going full immersi

When I saw the iPad demo on that stage with Steve Jobs I thought: it’s a big iPod for old people to look at pictures. Meh.

Took the family back to the place where my wife and I met as ski bums (small town in the mountains) We went to a weekly music event and noticed that people were talking, dancing, laughing while the kids were playing in the grass/dirt a

Im not trolling here either. Genuinely wondering who your heroes are? Could be a case of mismatched focuses. If someone is focused on tech, they might idealize Musk or Jobs. If someone has roots in the financial realm, they might thing Buff

Same here. I find it lowers the barrier to entry for me starting something, it also sends me down roads I would not have travelled before, which expand my range of solutions to problems. It does all this in sub 10% of the time I would have

I think either way, your leadership has an impact. Clearly there’s been some internal strife for a minute, but the amount of innovation coming out of this company in the last year or two has been staggering. Altman now doubt played a role i

Exactly, I have to weigh whether this means I unwind some google shorts, or if the cat is out of the bag and google is still in trouble. Can’t tell, but this news is a pain in my a$$ Thanks for the drama openai.

This is correct. It’s either video games or the electric car.

I did this a few years back using the .gov database and it never caught on. Will see if I can dig it up sometime and put it back online

I believe LoRA developed after GPT-4’s cutoff date. So this appears to have come from a human…

The real take away is that he’s out front shaping regulation before it impacts him. In the US he knows it’s easy to manipulate our policy with a little song and dance because our policy makers don’t understand what they are looking at. It’s

Yeah it’s tough to tell. I could see a world where if you create the right architecture then complex tasks can be broken into smaller individual tasks where your only concern is the outcome and not the underlying code. Very deterministic E

To some extent I agree. As a parent of two children under 4, I am exhausted. Given my current obligations though, I’m compelled to keep going. It’s 3:30am, I have a stomach bug and I’m about to give up on sleep for now and get some work don

If you look at what the prompter had to know in order to get a useful output you can see how far away we are from replacing that individual with a business stakeholder. That’s why I view these tools as “productivity enhancements” rather tha

I still feel violated everytime it plays on my home pod by accident.

I’m kind of excited now. I used to build random weird things all the time (mostly centered around connecting physical devices up to the internet to accomplish something silly) - but lost my mojo once I had kids and didn’t the ability to pul

Yes. It will be painful for some folks to transition to doing something else for sure. I know you are just using random numbers but 10 million people die per year. The benefit would outweigh the cost.

Used it live with my team to write an inspirational speech then I read back to the team. We all had a good laugh. It’s just not contextual enough yet to understand how to sound genuine to a team that has had enough connection and time toget

The honeymoon phase will end man. When they are about one and half or two they will try to find ways to injure themselves nearly every 5 minutes the entire time they are awake. If you are the person responsible for keeping them safe while w

I found the article extremely informational by explaining what the situation could look like for my aging parents. In fact it even motivates me to start planning out costs with them. Sometimes the point of articles can simply be to relate o

To some extent I agree with the sentiment. COVID seemed to create an awareness amongst employees that they could have better living conditions. There was a capitulation on the part of employers (especially in the tech industry). Now it seem

I think it’s a little naive to equate “on-demand learning” with essentially learning frameworks or tools. I remember early in my career when I got a request to make a graphic slowly start to circle around a user’s mouse as they hovered over

Agreed on the boot camp thing. I’ve interviewed more than a few folks who got their start with boot camps but couldn’t answer some basic questions about web development. Not knocking those who are motivated to go through a boot camp, just s

Everyone has opinions on this so take mine worth the price charged. You could go to a talent / recruiting program, there are usually some university affiliated programs that have ties to major tech companies or advertising firms. Of co

Your great-granddaddy sounds like a very smart man. I think this phrase speaks volumes about the value of these folks (and not just in the startup world). Even in large companies there are opportunities for improvement everywhere. Once we i

I can’t confirm “befriending” crows, but I can confirm that you can make them your enemy. A while back I had found what I thought was an injured bird. I captured it and brought it to a rehabilitation center for wild birds. Turns out I had j
