As a fellow sailor who's only dealt with ferries, what's the wake like coming off those cruise ships? I can't imagine it's just the fumes causing sea sickness when one of those monstrosities steam past your 26' or w

I live in NYC too, but imagine if all of Manhattan was midtown. That's basically Amsterdam these days. The suburbs are fine, but it's a nightmare in the city center. Imagine Times Square but like 6x the size.

Because the knock on effects aren't just in the tourists not spending money, but clogging the streets (go to central Amsterdam on a Saturday evening sometime, it's insane) causing trouble, and even if there's money that'

The difference is that they make money on hardware and the app stores, not on advertising (they have a small ad product but it's probably closer to a rounding error).

Exactly the same for me. I will often get variable names autocompleted, but 90% of the time they're wrong, even when the right variables are declared sometimes in the same function or file I'm working on. More than once has it sho

I'd bet that it was the vibe at the party that didn't set well with him. That or awe had a very specific schedule to keep. Perhaps both.

Then I'm glad the EU forced them to open it up. Imagine if you could only fill your ICE with gas from the car manufacturer's filling stations? Vertical integration can help with costs but it also is pure lock-in.

a16z have always been sleazy, and their entire crypto/NFT run just proved it further. Their hook towards AI the moment the NFT/Crypto market started crashing shows how little they believe their own bullshit. I don't have a pr

Federal law is supreme, so yes, Congress can overrule any state or local law, and does so automatically if they have laws that disagree.

To consider your analogy a bit further: Imagine you had access to only... five 18th century novels, that's it, no other knowledge about the period, the people or anything. Then you try to write your own. You can make up your own storie

I'm going to be curious to see how it plays out with trained and ethically aware psychologists. However, just because they have their PhD or MD or DO doesn't mean they're not charlatans or that they're definitely good pe

Thanks for doing the right thing. If you're struggling (I do, and have as well) definitely seek real professional help. I know it can be a real struggle in the UK especially to find a therapist, but the NHS tries their best and you can

"correct" isn't the way to look at this. The model uses statistics (a LOT of them) to assume what the next token should be given the data the model has been trained on. There is no concept of "right" or "wrong&

The main argument is around GDPR which limits/bans the collection and storage of personal information without consent. They definitely did this, and it's quite clear in the law that it's unacceptable (as it should be). OpenAI
