I thought the same while reading this - I can easily imagine the AI using hindsight to affect "how contrarian the leader's outlook was at the time", in a way that's similar to how we often do the same. Would be interesti

So... contractors? I don't understand how what you're describing is any different.

I was 100% on board with WordPress/WC at first, and had already started building with it, but was immediately coming into issues. Just Work (tm) was my expectation, and was most definitely not what I found. - I used the product variati

I was about to start a new project with Next.js... is anyone willing to give me some advice? I'm about to start building an e-commerce site (30-50k poster print designs, i.e. no inventory), and was leaning towards a Django backend (bec

Night lenses! Yeah they're pretty crazy (I'm in the process of getting them and a friend of mine has them). 10 hours is low though - they're supposed to easily make your vision last all day, even two. My friend says he only r

Tried it out for a bit - recently upgraded to Max so was willing to try one of these run-stuff-in-parallel tools. It wasn't great. - Installation using the provided binaries just fails on my machine - I have Ubuntu 22.04, which apparen

> some may argue that this was a good thing I don't think anyone was arguing this - Pebble simply went bankrupt. FitBit just bought some of their IP/assets I think. There was no expectation of them buying it and continuing supp

It will kill another living thing though. It's not that hard to understand - you know it tastes good but don't want to cause direct suffering.

I think this removes any amount of human-labeled data: no RLHF and stuff like that. You can use their technique to create an unsupervised reward model, and use that model to RL your way to having a useful assistant LLM. The paper is very ac

Surprisingly, it didn't infer anything from my protonmail email address.

From what I understand these medications make you want to eat less in the first place, so it's not quite the same thing.

And they're advocating for the end of 8th grade, so coming into Year 10. i.e. start of GCSEs.

I remember reading somewhere that LLMs are actually fantastic at reading heavily mistyped sentences! Mistyped to a level where humans actually struggle. (I will update this comment if I find a source)

Sonnet 3.5. Opus is the largest model, but of the Claude 3 family. Claude 3.5 is the newest family of models, with Sonnet being the middle sized 3.5 model - and also the only available one. Regardless, it's better than Opus (the larges

This is very typical of New Yorker pieces - I enjoyed the broader context of capital surveillance. We can’t editorialise titles here, so this is bound to happen.

I think there might be a level of hindsight being used here - I distinctly remember when the Watch came out that very few people actually thought it’d be useful, and other similar criticisms that are being used against the Vision Pro now. (

Within a year of launch, nearly all my friends use ChatGPT on a weekly basis. Granted, I'm a university student, so I'm sure I'm in quite a specific bubble, but still - it already feels quite ubiquitous. 100M weekly users too

Didn't see any replies with specifics, so here's mine: Door-to-door, it takes me no more than 30 minutes for a shop, and I usually go 3 times every 2 weeks. So about the same as you. I wouldn't consider my location "luck

For people that used to enjoy Spotify, such as myself & the author, this was never a main concern.

by platelminto 3y ago
I'm also not a fan of the direction Spotify is going, but if I want to keep listening to music, I don't see a way around it - and I don't think other music services are materially different. I support the artists I care about

I’m confused by this article - I thought ProtonMail already did public key encryption on people’s emails? And where does blockchain fit into this?

As someone whose lived in multiple European countries since I was born, I also don't understand this comment. I don't know anyone who uses these smartcard readers at home. I don't think it's common at all.

Half way through and though I’m enjoying it, it’s not super clear at times. For example: the Flutter example is introduced, then not mentioned for a while, then mentioned again with a specific problem, then ignored again, then used again wi
