You’re allowed to just say I’m right. When Google puts enormous amounts of resources into something like Google Home, then acquires Nest, haphazardly merges the two ecosystems while co-opting the Nest brand for unrelated products, then effe

I assume you’ve never had the delightful experience of relying on a product Google built or acquired then let decay or killed outright because it doesn’t contribute to ad revenue and the people who cared leveraged it in their promo packet t

I have to wonder how many CEOs and other executives are low-key bouncing their bad ideas off of ChatGPT, not realizing it’s only going to tell them what they want to hear and not give genuine critical feedback.

Do you have more of your writing available anywhere? I’m fine-tuning a model to act as someone with uncritical deference to authority, a paternal view of government, and no apparent awareness of what it takes to comply with regulation or op

There’s no way to say this without sounding like an asshole but perhaps in 8 years your memory of what meat is like has drifted. I only say that because the rest of us wish the fake stuff was remotely comparable in taste and texture.

Perhaps not, but my point stands from personal experience and knowing what’s going on in labs right now that AI is greatly contributing to research even if it’s not doing the parts that most people think of when they think science. A suffic

No, Firefox is the conduit through which the funding provided by Google to stave off claims of monopoly are used for pet projects and padding CVs by people wholly uninterested in Firefox.

Incredible! Funny enough of all the dozen different Esp32 boards I’ve collected that’s the one I don’t have. If I ever have the time I may try to do some legwork for you for the c3 and c3-supermini if that would be helpful

Are you some sort of off-brand version of the TempleOS guy?

This is amazing, thank you! If anyone knows of something similar for any of the more popular Esp32 boards I would love to know about it!

Or maybe unlike the rest of the models, his solution to the problem of “our model becomes measurably dumber as we tack on more guard rails meant to prevent bad press when it says offensive things when prompted to say offensive things” is to

Take advertising away from both. Which one would crumble vs contend with a few worse than expected quarters. Google is something like 75% ad revenue, <5% hardware. Apple is something like 75% hardware, <5% ad revenue.

Bad faith typically encompasses willful blindness and deliberate ignorance. There’s a reason why courts can equate not knowing something when you should have and chose not to, with actually knowing it.

Sounds an awful lot like the reason the IRS and CRA use for going after a waitresses tips and not tax fraud by HNWI.

Even better in the Vancouver case. Most are “students” and “homemakers” with $0 declared income!

Has the median net worth of those driving gone up? Vancouver did all sorts of “make having a car really expensive” moves like removing parking lots and making the remaining ones prohibitively expensive for the working class. Must be nice fo

Most natural populations of a given species have density-dependent population regulation. Be it from a reduced food supply, or multi-year cycles where they provide ample food for their predators population to grow to the point they become t

It boggles my mind that an army of the most talented electrical engineers on earth somehow fumble a power connector and then don’t catch it before shipping.

I love that there are somehow authorities on tech that realistically they could have 1-2 years experience with tops. It’s the reverse of the “seeking coder with 10 years of experience in a 2 year old language” meme.

An iPhone 11 does indeed do all of those things easily. The only thing it lacks is LiDAR, which I would argue very few people use intentionally and was introduced the following year anyway. Camera of course not going to be equivalent, but s

Texas alone is twice the size of Japan with 1/4 of the population. There’s little need for efficient allocation of essentially infinite space outside of urban areas constrained by geological features. And in those places parking comes

It’s not limited to hominins. There’s a bit of a trend among Chinese researchers to conduct extensive genome sequencing and then conclude that economically or culturally significant plant species from Africa or elsewhere in Asia actually or
