Why this waffling around helping a western democracy defend itself against an enemy that purposefully bombs children's hospitals, is run by a dictatorship, and spews active measures disinformation campaigns all around the world? Let me

For me, just playing Half-Life Alyx through the link cable alone was worth it.

The reviews are already at 4.9 on Meta Quest. I'd rather not go straight into commoditizing the product.

Quite honestly I have no time to market the game nor add significant features since becoming a father. My day job as a machine learning engineer pays more than I would expect to ever make from this game

Quite honestly, virtually no marketing and no more than $200 in paid ads. I actually have a full time job so spending time on making the game decent and marketing and raising a kid is currently impossible. As long as my game is out in the w

Really impressive. I wonder if the fact that it's one of the only graphically cohesive games built with Rust/Bevy has anything to do with its relative success. I'm jealous. My indie VR game Rogue Stargun has sold abysmally on

I remember flipping through that Raising the Bar book at Barnes and Noble 20 years ago and playing HL2 with min setting on my paltry Geforce 2 Ti. I am so getting the reissued book!

That company name is not easy to remember how to spell. This will be nice for Maker projects, but I don't see it getting traction without 6DOF

Curves that look exponential in virtually all cases turn out to be logarithmic. Certain OpenAI insiders must have known this for a while, hence Ilya Sutskever's new company in Israel

I suppose there could have been something like Q derives from Mark but overwrites or omits some details, then Matthew and Luke are written by authors with access to both Mark and Q but are unsure which source has precedence. This rooted hyp

by LarsDu88 2y ago
I read about this hypothesis many years ago. I never quite understood why it would not be the case that the book of Mark might be the original source, with Q being a Mark derivative, and Matthew and Luke being a Q derivative

Your daughter might simply be allergic to a substance in one of these oils and may not be reflective of the experience of the population at large.

There's pretraining which is just raw text from the internet but there's also supervised preference data sourced from users. Right now the edge is in acquiring the latter which OpenAI has a slight lead in

So basically data warehousing, and making it possible to do joins? Super boring, but super important stuff, which I've seen neglected at far too many places I've worked. Sounds like data engineering with a dash of ML.

Interestingly enough India abandoned Soviet style command economy about 15 years later than China did (under Deng XiaoPing) so if India is contributing to this, it may be the case that in both cases it was due to moving towards more capital

The takeaway here is that rather than invent some high tech wacky thing, just target some existing cartels/government monopolies. Hotels (AirBnB), telecommunications (Facebook versus AT&T Bell), taxi services (uber/lyft), broa

This made me think of Charlie Munger. As he was getting into old age, he told an audience that "to get ahead in life, you should specialize in one thing and get really good at it" Mr. Munger was really good at stock picking. As he

To combine with a language model simply replace the action vector with a language model latent. Alternative as of last year there are now purely diffusion based text decoder models

Iterative denoising diffusion is such a hurdle for getting this sort of thing running at reasonable fps

Impressive that the machine was that good of an avatar, but it was pretty darn suspicious all the robots had different accents. I mean are we to believe that Tesla designed their robots to have a California dude accent, a Chicano accent, AN

Funny. The article says investors were looking for a lower priced vehicle. Instead they got a "cybercab" that has an outline suspiciously similar to Model 2 concept drawings from China. And also this cybercab also happens to be im

Yeah but then you get headlines like 10% of children get cancer. How many children? 10 children? A million children? When the sample sizes are small, it's better to just give the fraction IMO.

To insert the gene, you use lentiviral transfection. The gene can wind up inserted in the wrong location of the genome, causing a mutation. Worst of all, natural selection can happen where landing in a region of the genome that promotes gro

Honestly, $3 million for a tailor made (needs to be customized for every patient individually) single shot cure that saves a person's life is pretty reasonable. The median lifetime earnings for an American is about $1.7 million though.
