But it's not humans reading it, it's using it to train ML models. There are similarities between humans learning from books and ML models being trained on it, but there are also salient differences, and those differences lead to

Regional Vic for me, Daikin Alira X's installed in rooms about a month or two ago, and they've been great. Very energy efficient, and individual units in each room means we can match everyone's preferred climate -- even heat

Ok, I think this has moved on from the original point. I quoted you saying: "As I see it, there is clearly no way to advance ChatGPT into anything more than it is today. Impressive as it is, the curtain is wide open for all to see, an

How about smaller projects that might be hugely successful, but will never be remotely close to a Twitter level of success? It’s interesting to see how much can be done with a single machine, because most projects will never be this big. Th

Yep, specifically it looks to me like the kind of styling for a gambling or raffle website.

Each view of the world has things it explains well, and things it struggles to explain. Some views do a better job overall than others. In terms of idealist and dualist views of reality, the claims that there's fundamentally just mind

In what way do you and plants and you and the ocean 'agree'? I'm not sure how to make sense of these claims. I'm not even sure that you and the dog agree on this matter, but I can make more sense of that.

Some people think that whether something experiences qualia depends on it having the right kind of complexity. For those people, looking along that continuum, they might just say that ALL those things experience qualia, but that the richne

Many others have said this elsewhere in this thread, but the cost of using all those things is not free. Every added service is an extra burden to maintain, all the way from writing code through to running and maintained in production. Som

When asking ChatGPT yourself, I presume most of us would be aware that its answers could be wildly wrong. Given that we know this and it's in the front of our mind when asking ChatGPT, I think it has the potential to be very useful. P

I like new Reddit’s cards layout when scrolling, but I don’t enjoy its poorer performance and new thread view. The good bits from new reddit could have been added without heavy JS, since those are just CSS+HTML.

I think 'rendering' here means something like 'doing what's needed to produce the final HTML for the browser to render'. You can produce the final HTML on the server (server side rendering), or the front-end (e.g.,

I have the same policy for similar circumstances. Sometimes, something isn't working, and I make a change that fixes it, but I didn't expect that change to fix it. Almost always it's worth me investigating why it's now

I don't know about all managed postgres offerings, but quite a few of them have a setting I consider to be insane: if you delete the instance, it deletes all your automated backups as well (and possibly your ad-hoc snapshots too). Thi

Yep, I think there's wisdom in what you say here for good design. My point is (using a very simple example) that there are ways in which server side rendering offers some immediate security benefits that don't automatically come
