I agree, so much of our tech was built out as part of the global war machine. It was easier to keep your head in the sand with "libertarian-esque" ideas (at least for me), but as those ideas came to fruition and social media expos

Using AI has all kinds of new and unusual limits. It's hard to get exactly what you want and you often get unexpected results along the way.

MusicBrainz is awesome! If you like this kind of thing, also check out the Discogs data dumps: https://discogs-data-dumps.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index....

It is inevitable that this is the direction we're headed. It's already been happening, Google, browser plug-ins... can all read both sides of an email conversation. Your phone can (if it wants) listen to you and those around you.

Could be a Cruncyroll error. Looks like it's on Hulu and Apple TV too.

If anyone is interested in Ukiyo-e prints, there's a really fun episode of Samaruai Champloo that talks about them and gives a glimpse of the role they played as a sort of pop culture during the Edo period: https://www.crunc

That's not really an AI problem, it's an analog hole problem and the very nature of communication. If you give someone your thoughts, they now have them.

The infrastructure hardware and software is a commodity. Any real moat comes from access to data. I think we've seen data close up quite a bit since people realized that you can train LLMs with it, so I don't know that OpenAI&#x27

For second homes, mansions on the beach... totally. There are a lot of impoverished people in the area that won't be able to move though. I have no idea what will happen, but short of some sort of assisted mass-relocation, it doesn&#x2

No word on home insurance rates? It's already completely insane in the SE (and other regions of the country) and can only get worse. I don't see how it's possibly sustainable or what will be done. With the current state of in

Try Lambda Labs if you want to host a bigger model.

I agree, I don't think there's a moat and this is going to be a commodity feature.

I'd say Llama has improved at a much faster clip than anything OpenAI has released, so probably in 3 years what I said will be even more true.

by bbqfog 2y ago
Llama is good enough and I don’t have to give my data to a very sketchy organization. Happy to never use OpenAI again.

I believe it's typically eaten raw in Japan too.

Very cool! > “I think sociality, or at least attention to social information, is way more deep-rooted in the evolutionary tree than we might think,” Maybe, or maybe the neural power required to move all of those limbs is good enough at

Israel has killed orders of magnitude more children than Hezbollah and has launched orders of magnitude more ordnance into civilian neighborhoods.

by bbqfog 2y ago
I don't agree. You're not engaging with the reality on the ground, which is increased Hezbollah aggression since the pager attack.

You said they would be demoralized, and as we can see, they were not.

Blowing people up in a grocery store is pretty far away from making peace!

Israel has been trying this strategy since the inception of Zionism and not only has it not worked, it's created a massive amount of armed resistance. Sure enough, massive waves of rocket attacks have been coming from Lebanon since Isr

I would definitely be radicalized and take up arms. Hell, I'm not even there and it's radicalizing me! I know a lot of people who are making significant life changes in the US based on what Israel and its supporters are doing. I

There's a lot of great anime being produced today. Have you watched Vinland Saga or Chainsaw Man?

by bbqfog 2y ago
Demon Slayer is incredibly popular with younger people.

by bbqfog 2y ago
No doubt that it would be best for fans if a16z stayed far away from anime, but you're wrong about quality declining. There's a ton of great stuff from recent times: Vinland Saga, Ranking of Kings, Chainsaw Man, Dr. Stone... There

If a bomb went off next to me in Safeway, I'd consider the people who did that to be my enemy for life. This was an attack on civilians, civilian infrastructure and the general population of the world who now has to worry about being m

It changed the world because now "regular" people are looking to divest of Israeli tech as fast as possible. They turned consumer devices into bombs and made everyone in the world less safe. It will be seen as the biggest strategi

What's the Lebanon "terror contingent"? Hezbollah (not terrorists, but resistance) is fighting Israel as we speak, so surely you don't mean them?

by bbqfog 2y ago
Circulating thousands of bombs disguised as innocuous consumer devices into the public is targeting civilians. I'll add that Israel's terrorist act goes beyond those who were hit with explosions. We're all more at risk. It&
