I wish the Gmail connector that OpenAi offers had a read only mode. I get fantastic mileage of regular ChatGPT Plus chat connected to all of my public and private Github - I have about 900 repos - probably about 100 relevant ones. I can wor

I recently tested a whole bunch of models (basically whatever was recent and available on openrouter filtering by audio input) for STT for mixed language audio - mostly English mixed with Latvian. In the end I was basically forced to go wit

Maybe things have changed but it was a big mess trying to getting an API key from Google as an individual a few years ago. Way too much conflicting documentation. Eventually I gave up and run a few hundred million tokens (edit a few billion

Decathlon is pretty neat and technologically advanced actually, so not surprising news for them to adopt Wero. In eastern European stores they use RFID for every product, so you just throw stuff in a bin without scanning and can self check

This is rather like SAT from 35 years ago. Same strategies apply for guessing the unknown especially with a modicum(it was on the test!) of Latin knowledge.. Strange that pretty every one here is getting 70k estimates (93/100 for me).

As long as Codex remains so affordable and useful they do not have to slash prices, just keep Codex usable. I keep meaning to try Claude Code, but I can't seem to run out of limits on Codex on regular pro plan. Meanwhile all my friends

Fantastic practical achievement! I wonder if I could get similar or even better performance from similar Dell T7610 workstation with dual Xeons and also 128GB DDR3? The CPUs are better core wise, but that probably does not make much differe

I am paraphrasing but I think it was W. Buffett who said: "Work at the job that you do not hate" In other words, not all vocations that you are great at and talented and want to pursue are valued by current world. I love playing c

People do have different emotional response to big achievements. Still this seemingly detached "matter of a business" look by the winners was intriguing. They are all high level athletes not Rosie Ruiz, but hopefully this record i

Along with already mentioned "Buy, Borrow, Die" strategy is the more widely practiced "Expense everything" strategy which often ends in tax disaster for the practitioner. One of the early adopters was https://

The latest clickbait style can be mitigated by custom instructions. I use: "Tell it like it is; don't sugar-coat responses. Use academic university level explanations unless instructed otherwise. Do not end with teaser offers or

Basically you have Cremant type sparking wines which are produced from other regions of France besides Champagne. It is just like Champagne just that other French regions like Loire, Alsace, Bordeux etc are not allowed to call it Champagne.

After, RAM, SSD, GPUs, now HDDs what else is there left to sell out? Power supplies, fans? In a way this feels a bit absurd for these AI centers to hog HDDs. As pointed by others neither training nor inference require HDDs and storing raw d

This is very cool and having stalemate is nice, however how much space would it take to implement the full ruleset? As you write: not implemented: castling, en passant, promotion, repetition, 50-move rule - those are all required to call th

What about SSH requires GUI? I mean I SSH to my Hetzner Ubuntu fun box usually from Powershell or PuTTY, but sometimes I SSH from a Debian server without any GUI.

Interesting information but these are not hard numbers. Surely the 100-char string information of 141 bytes is not correct as it would only apply to ASCII 100-char strings. It would be more useful to know the overhead for unicode strings pr

How about picture gen though on Dall-E? It is so infuriating to get content block on ChatGPT for pretty much any fairy tale that has had a Disney related adaptation. Try getting a Grimm's 19th century Snow White illustrations. You can

OpenAI has ridiculous guardrails for illustrations covering any public domain subject that has been covered by Disney or any other major public corporation. So by that benchmark Japanese companies have a case. Try generating a 19th century

To be a bit flippant, you can absolutely destroy energy by creating some mass.. Then again most of us do not have particle accelerator nearby looking for Higgs boson.
