Promote and proliferate local LLMs. If you use GPT, you're giving OpenAI money to lobby the government so they'll have no competitors, ultimately screwing yourself, your wallet, and the rest of us too. OpenAI has no moat, unless y

It went from $0/mo (as it had been for a long time) to $5000/mo overnight with no middle ground (for access to streaming data, no matter how small the volume).

Thank you for linking this. I read about old computer stuff all the time on the internet and I've never seen it, and I'm kind of surprised that's the case. I am super excited to screw around with this tomorrow, and hope my ki

"Good" is subjective, I guess. Daniel Gross set up a company that seemed akin to indebted servitude, modern day slavery. They called it "Pioneer" and later changed the terms, I guess because of backlash. They gave you a

This is an amazingly beautiful hack. I'm kind of surprised we never saw something like this done by hand before the advent of SD -- plenty of QR code art, but none of it like this. I'm impressed.

That's a good point. Those form factors were massive improvements in portability and accessibility, without necessarily having a killer app compared to its predecessor (laptop not doing anything a desktop didn't do, iphone didn&#x

But that's silly, it can do all that and also have a killer app. I can already do all that traditional stuff on a macbook or ipad, and "have a screen anywhere", and those things are more portable because I can just sit it o

I don't understand why there is no AR or VR killer app for this thing. Their sales pitch was "it makes it amazing to read articles in safari"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYkq9Rgoj8E&t=5410s $3500 to.

I think Musk bought Twitter to control the media, Murdoch style. It makes a lot of sense, it makes even more sense to have 90% of the public believe you're an idiot who spent 50 billion dollars on a lark because you're childish, w

Alternative title: "Sam Altman & Friends want More Money". They want all the opportunity for themselves, and none for us. Control. Control of business, and control of your ability to engage in it. Another AI company that wants

Yes, considering GPT models are huge, they should probably compare them against the huge local models (as well as the 13B ones which are shockingly close).

I had typed an argument of that nature, but closed the tab because I didn't want to spend time arguing. Now that you mention it, though, my problem is with the word subjugation , which isn't an accurate descriptor of what was hap

The problem with academic papers and stamina is that most of them are bullshit produced only to further the author's career and not to produce new knowledge or inform anyone at all. Publish or perish has side effects, consequences, and

Xenia is the only 360 emulator and "18%" of games are "playable"; that means 82% aren't. On RPCS3, 30% of games aren't rated "playable" because they crash or barely run at all. So you might say instea

it should be a spring wire (like a kids toy tent) or some kind of origami mechanism so it can be pushed away and hidden inside the laptop when not in use, then it'd be very impressive.

No need to drag a gigabyte of docker stuff into this, just extract the zip file from github and type make into your terminal congratulations, it now works. If you're not a developer, maybe you'll have to type sudo apt install

That's up for debate. They have yet to prove it profitable/viable/useful, and 100,000 companies are working on eating their lunch. Others are walling off their data (e.g. reddit). It'll be interesting, at least.

That's what we're saying though: that used to be true, it's not now (at least in my experience so far). JS does a lot by default that used to require jQuery. It's surprising and refreshing. I still hate JavaScript and us

Vanilla JS is now faster and easier than most of jQuery, but I wouldn't knock anyone for using jQuery if it saves them time because they know it. If some reader hasn't taken a look at what you can do with vanilla JS, go ahead and

I recently had a thought about LLMs and vision models. Unlike ever before, the blind can now listen to a description of the world around them, with no other person required. The computer can just tell them what is around them. I don't

Let me answer you honestly and in depth: Why? Why not? If I am alive, I may as well make an effort, since I have a finite time to do so. It's fun. It's a challenge. I know a couple of men in their 50s, one is relatively wealthy (s
