They only lose out in the long term by doing this if you believe they can compete in the long term. If you're an exec at Hex-rays and you believe that Ghidra will eventually out compete you, then it makes sense to squeeze every penny y

Yeah, I've always been impressed with how well GPT3 can give cogent responses, but I've never seen anyone show how to get it to give truthful, informative responses while behaving as a chatbot. Could you feed structured data into

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the content filtering section of their docs, especially in regard to getting GPT3 to behave in a customer service role is hilarious https://beta.openai.com/docs/engines/with-no-e

I think the scale of compute speed really muddies the water with what we traditionally consider a super computer. A DGX pod is probably a super computer imo. But with some problems we're seeing that we can solve them with petabyte scal

In the case of ORCA a bang is an activation So a clock periodically emits a bang that can be used to trigger the synth for a simple example.

Oh this is absolutely gorgeous, deserving a post of its own if ORCA weren't already on the front page. I love ORCA, but sharing that passion with other people is difficult due to the effort needed to get started with it. Now I can just

I love this idea, one of my peeves is that I tend to accidentally scan the next paragraph or bottom of the page and it can really ruin pacing in tense moments. Great concept!

How do we know that this only effects OpenStreetMap comments and isn't just a more general bug? Even if it is, I'd wager it's likely just a poorly trained spam filter rather than some malicious attempt at suppression.

Well, given I have a pixel, I'm pretty good on patches. I wish google patched their devices for longer, I'd happilly only update every 5-6 years these days, but security doesn't allow for it.
