Good points here. I certainly see the opportunity for start-ups to break through here. I just don't have much faith in ones where GPT-4 is their core tech. On the other hand, companies going after the entire vertical where AI is a feat

There are a ton of companies that are basically a wrapper around GPT-4 with some minimal amount of application code. These folks can create impressive demos that wow minimally informed investors, but the reality is that if it took a few wee

Depends on how you define the word. "Justice is the ethical, philosophical idea that people are to be treated impartially, fairly, properly, and reasonably by the law and by arbiters of the law, that laws are to ensure that no harm bef

AP Computer Science, at least as I remember it, was more of a Java programming course than a theoretical CS one. And at my high school there was extreme variance in everyone's programming ability, which led to very little lecture time

I would expect they were already getting pressure from other cities to pause driverless rides, so they might as well pause on their own terms.

I’ve got 5+ rides with each platform and would agree with this assessment. Cruise rides generally have a few uncomfortable moments per ride with some erratic swerving or sudden unexplained stops. Waymo rides feel much more predictable and h

Hardly any politician wins an election only considering their personal beliefs and ignoring that of their electorate. It's pretty obvious he wants to run for President, so moving a bit to the right as opposed to what he'd do for a

San Francisco could add a ton of housing without adding super tall skyscrapers across the city. Maybe some YIMBYs want to Manhattanize SF but certainly not all of them. Paris has a height limit of 12 stories for most parts of the city http

I disabled Gmail Smart Compose for this reason; I felt like it was putting words into my mouth suggesting entire sentences for the email. I'm much more open to using transformers as a better auto-correct, where it's one word at a

GPT-4 finished training in August 2022, before the release of ChatGPT. If they had announced this sooner hardly anyone on the internet would have noticed. Props to them for adding it now.

The key thing for me is whether it's really a text focused app or they ruin it by trying to cross promote Instagram/Reels and turn it into a mindless time suck. If they get the little details right, I see this as the only real com

VSCode Jupyter notebooks + Github Copilot is my favorite way to interact with notebooks. The autocomplete is super helpful for assisting with discovery of matplotlib or numpy operations.

FWIW I'd trust data security of Google+Bing over OpenAI in the short term. OpenAI's product is extremely new and evolving quickly so it is way more vulnerable to to security vulnerabilities. https://openai.com/blog

I was curious what the added price on a $400 console would be if Sony couldn't guarantee a cut of game revenue, so here's some napkin math. Avg 9.6 games sold per console [1] * $70 game * 30% take rate [2] =~ $200 additional. Curr

How would this legislation impact game consoles? Sony has a market cap of $100B and Microsoft is clearly above the €75 billion euro market cap discussed. Perhaps incorrectly, I don't see that market needing this legislation. The consol
