Between the face ID part, the awkward interaction for selecting the card, and the inconsistency for loading the wallet app, I disagree in my personal experience. Plus, how often do you have your phone in your hand when you’re checking out s

Sorry if this isn’t directly relevant to the article. It’s paywalled, so I can’t read it, but perhaps this is a good place to vent anyway. My issue with Apple Pay is that it’s more tedious than just using a credit card. Especially with tap

But let’s say you used the OpenAI GPT4 service to generate training data for a new model. You then train your model using that generated training data. In theory OpenAI can ban you from continuing to use their API and maybe even sue you for

Is it actually clear that license restrictions on the training data really do affect the model itself? I know OpenAI says you’re not supposed to use the output of GPT3/4 to train competing models, but that doesn’t strike me as legally

Woah, I’ve been actively using GitHub for over a decade and I had no idea it had profile pages like this if you make a repo that is the same as your username. Is this a new thing? How did I completely miss the bus on this?

The problem is I used to be able to spend a couple dollars on lightbulbs that consistently looked great and didn’t require a ton of research or money. I’ve bought hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of high-end LED lightbulbs since movin

Seems like it would make sense for that to be the real reason, and the safety concerns to be a convenient scapegoat, although from talking with several people who work at OpenAI, they really do seem to believe the safety/alignment issu

Perhaps I misunderstood the video in that case, maybe it was a subset of the tax code. But he copied and pasted the entirety of what appeared to be the official tax code.

That interpretation never occurred to me either, actually. I suppose that makes more sense. But since it did not occur to me, I can give GPT4 some slack. It came up at the same explanation I would have.

In the livestream demo they did something similar but with a DALLE-generated image of a squirrel holding a camera and it still was able to explain why it was funny. As the image was generated by DALLE, it clearly doesn't appear anywhe

From the livestream video, the tax part was incredibly impressive. After ingesting the entire tax code and a specific set of facts for a family and then calculating their taxes for them, it then was able to turn that all into a rhyming poem

Wouldn’t the first sale doctrine protect that? As long as the Honda dealership isn’t abusing the Ford trademark, my understanding is it’s perfectly legal to buy a product, modify it (even by removing branding), and then resell it. Of course

Interesting, and potentially useful for me. But I’ve tried a lot of “read this news to me” text to speech systems and I haven’t yet found one that sounds pleasant enough to listen to at length. Maybe yours is better, but there’s no sample a

Do you have any recently updated examples, blog posts, whatever showing that DALLE is worse than modern stable diffusion? I was still under the impression that DALLE was better (with better meaning the images are more likely to be what you

Joking aside, that does seem like it would be very useful. Kind of reminds me of the analogies that were common in initial semantic vector research. The whole “king - man + woman = queen” thing. Presumably that sort of vector arithmetic is
