Yes, by ~20x. Copy-pasting a comment of mine from a few days ago: We decided at work to run a little experiment with GPT3 to see if/how-much it was 'worth it'. Since baseball is back and most of us are fans, we decided to wri

There's just no way this'll get past the lawyers. I agree, it's a great way to assess students. I've been through them too, they are nerve wracking, but end up being a lot better than written. But the lawyers, man, they&

I mean, Elon's really really good at making these kinds of splashy statements. Actually putting things together and making them work? Yeah, he's not the best at that. We can debate what 'truth' means here and what ol&#x2

I love lofi streams on YT. I especially love them combined with ambient nature bathing. Something about it is sad/nostalgic, for sure. But when you get that ambient nature bathing in there, it becomes, to me, more hopeful and ... heali

Yeah, in our case it was baseball and most of us are fans. So, we all knew what to do and what 'good' looked like. It was still pretty open ended though, which was fun. It was good to see what my coworkers came up with and the dif

It does not produce a usable simulation of baseball right out of the box. It'll give you skeleton code that you kinda have to then fill in yourself. But it's really good skeleton code. Like, the functions are used wrong, but it&#x

Hey, just want to say thanks for saying that you changed your mind. It's hard to do on public forums and just in general. It's even harder to say that you don;t know something. Thanks for saying this.

Oh man, now that's a shocker to me. Thanks for the reality check there.

I mean, Jesus. Not trying to argue with you at all, but if that's the gut reaction to a man bleeding out with two stab wounds ... man, you gotta move, you're too hardened.

Are we talking Arizona St. or Santa Monica Blvd or Sotel or west of the 405 here? Because Santa Monica Blvd. has been pretty bad for decades. That Starbucks/parklet area at Santa Monica and Bundy has been the worst for a long while.

I think it would be great for pay-per-view events. Imagine being on the 50 yard line of the superbowl for $10. Imagine being in the stands of your kids volleyball game from your hotel room on a work trip. Live events, large or small, are th

One Nit: I'd say that it's not just friends that will generate 'real' content, it's 'trusted' people. Some of that will be AIs and more of it will be strangers that you know produce 'good' conten

'Fun' Scenario: Some AI company comes along and starts selling AIs for 'educational purposes'. Somewhere in the 100's to 1000's of dollar range, not quite as much as a textbook, but a double digit fraction of t

Because the CEO needs the engineer more than the engineer needs the CEO. By definition, the CEO is issuing stock in lieu of money. They are issuing a chance at very large future compensation (say 10% chance at 12x) in lieu of current cold c

One interesting thing I've tried to understand is emotions. They are deeply personal and deeply physical. It's hard to talk of strong emotions in ways that don't reference the body's reactions along with those emotions.

I'm part of the ~1 in 5 U.S. workers that can't really take all our vacation. We're long term caregivers. Taking a week off means somehow having to find a very expensive and adequate replacement for that time. Unfortunately,

I'm of the mind that gpt4 has just made you even better than before. Combine your skills with it, make yourself a consulting powerhouse. Tutor and teach others at a pace heretofore unknown. Your future may have just gotten a lot bright

Some of the school districts near-ish me are so desperate for teachers that they will up and just give teachers a house and a car. It's not prime real estate and not a new car, but you get the gist. There are hardly any takers. As has
