Cast-iron is a huge pain to maintain in my experience, but ceramic pans are a good non-carcinogenic alternative.

If the scientists who invented and tested it worked at 3M, how would the government know it was harmful before they distributed it?

Discord "servers" aren't independent communities. Discord will be the next platform to get MBA'd, and then it'll be off to somewhere else. I'm not sure how they've survived this long, frankly. They have no

It's frankly amazing how bad it is. On benchmarks and human comparisons, ChatGPT obliterates the small but growing open LLM community--but Bard is right in there with the open models. It's insane to me that Google, with the people

M$ is a silly way to call Microsoft greedy. ClosedAI is somewhat better because OpenAI's very name is a bald-faced lie, and they should be called on it. Are there more elegant ways to do that? Sure, but every time I see Altman in the n

GP here. It's 12M because the displays are square, not 16:9, so there are more vertical pixels. This will look better than most existing headsets, but it's not enough to match flat displays. You can't think about it in terms

Sadly no. I've used AR glasses that have double the pixels per degree than the Quest Pro (done by using a smaller FOV). It looks like 1080p on maybe a 32" desktop monitor. You can read but it's not a fun experience. Apple&#

I'm not sold on eyes as a pointer just yet. The Quest Pro can do this and it does not feel great. Based on experience with a lot of other headsets: > Can we comfortably use it for 8+ hours a day? No. Even if the ergonomics are perfe

It's not the sensors. Meta headsets can do this with much worse sensors by using shared anchors, which as someone else mentioned is already a feature in ARKit. Why they didn't mention this or integrate it into the OS I don't

>we will clean up our act way before it cause serious issues. There is already enough CO2 in the atmosphere to cause serious issues. It's not an instantaneous process, but at this point it will happen.

Vulkan Compute is not an alternative to CUDA. There's a reason PyTorch doesn't provide Vulkan in their official binaries. It's in the source, though--build it yourself, try running any recent ML project, and see what happens.

You're mashing together a lot under "gimmicks" there. Texture compression: Useful for games, ongoing work, although I wish they would make cards with appropriate amounts of VRAM Lighting tricks: Not sure what this is referenc

When was Siri ever useful? I have yet to encounter a voice "assistant" that can do more than search Google and set timers reliably, and Siri itself can't even do those very well.

I run into problems like that a lot; I guess I do edge case things. That particular example was on an Intel Atom Bay Trail tablet (garbage architecture) I resurrected with a lightweight distro. It was a huge improvement, but there was no su

Yes, it's never been profitable. The first photovoltaic device was built in the 1830's, and mass photovoltaic deployment only became profitable in the last decade. R&D in fission is absolutely not complete. The investment in i

To be fair to the backers (such winning personalities as Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, ugh), it wasn't a case of 1M DAUs when they wanted 5M. It was more like 5k DAUs when they wanted 5M. The idea was dead on arrival, no amount o

The pitch/studio model does not work for short content, and it never will. It's too slow-moving and corporate. The videos that succeed in this format are zeitgeist, flash-in-the-pan trends that are faster to produce and more dynam

I'm basing these answers off what I've seen GPT-4 do. It's not better than human experts at anything. It is better than mid-level humans, and given access to corporate databases in can replace them by doing nothing more than

I'd be interested to hear why. From using it and testing plugins, GPT-4 is a significant advantage right now, with no additional developments.

Has any corporate attorney ever been disbarred for filing frivolous lawsuits against individuals on behalf of their company? It's certainly not a common occurrence.

Why does Python get so much flak for inefficiencies? It's really not that slow, and in ML the speed-sensitive parts are libraries in lower level languages anyway. Half of the optimization from this very post is in Python.

This is incredible, great work. Have you tried it with the 65B model? Previously I didn't have a machine that could run it. I'd love to know the numbers on that one.

Spotify's power comes from more than its ubiquity. Pop music, the kind that charts (and the only kind labels care about), is way more commodified than TV shows. If Sony were to make a streaming service with just their music and leave S

Not all dark modes are really that dark, though. MacOS comes to mind but there are plenty of examples. I'd be interested to see a comparison of average luminance. Also, gray uniformity is an unfortunate shortcoming on a lot of OLEDs.
