And then the wedding speech. What are they thinking over there at OpenAI? This is supposed to be a productivity enhancer, not a way to outsource the most meaningful applications of human language…

The thought of my children being put to bed by a machine is horrifying. Then again, perhaps this is better than many kids have. Shudder.

I really did try to switch to Firefox, but it’s buggy on macOS. Tabs keep hanging in air. Also screen sharing is primitive compared to Chrome…

Humans can do these intersections, but we don’t do it by riffing off the top of our heads. We carefully develop and apply a formal system. LLMs are just (a very important) component.

I think if the author read Time Enough for Love, they would understand where their math went wrong.

Those numbers from the abstract are average generation times, which is very different than the average age of having the first child.

To me it’s been clear for a while: copyright is a fiction which has outlived its usefulness.

Usually that’s not a problem it just means adding OpenAI as a data processor (at least under ISO 27017). There’s a difference between sharing data for commercial purposes (which is usually verboten), vs for data-processing purposes.

Same here. End of last year I had to take more time off than I wanted to because of my wrists and hands. Copilot and GPT4 (combined with good compression braces) got me back in the game.

> positing a coherent ideological message in his story is a bit of a stretch. Also, Tolkien's wasn't one to focus much on real world social and political issues. Maybe this is why I love LoTR so much. It’s just a story!

I’d love to see some examples of how the token-in-context embeddings stack up against sentence-level. What new use-cases are unlocked? Perhaps semantic search with word-highlighting? Any advantage to using the full context window to maximiz

Reading some of the other very thoughtful comments on this thread, I realize the above probably says more about my psychology than it does about the TLP. Nonetheless, I think a cautionary tale is warranted here similar to long intensive med

I do NOT recommend this book. Contemplation this book during college lead me into very difficult psychological territory, without any light at the end of the tunnel. Looking back, I was lead astray by the book’s false assumption that one fo

There tends to be the most variation in the country where a language originated—-the “center of diversity”. Taiwan is the CoD for the Polynesian languages including Indonesian and native languages of Madagascar. (As per Guns Germs and Steel

Is there a quiz somewhere where I can learn what accent I have? (Of course it would be epic to do this with EnCodec embeddings, but a “does X rhyme with Y” quiz would suffice.)

I’m not a big self-publisher myself, but as a hiring manager, I am definitely attracted to candidates who have a robust public portfolio. That said, in hindsight, I’m not sure I’ve noticed any correlation between the strength of the public

Sure they have known for a long time. What is changing is advertisers awareness of the fake clicks. Creates an opportunity for ad platforms that can prove the humanity of their viewers.

You might consider adopting smart products which allow disabling the cloud connection. Or which have no cloud connection to begin with. At Bond Home, we tell users how to disable or redirect the device’s MQTT connections, at which point our

I meant that watching this video made me realize that one could write a program that generates the graphics, like in a video game, and then captures that in a video file, without any intention to run the program separately. A programmatical

First time I’ve seen an ad on a GitHub page. Not complaining—it’s great to have sponsors for open source—just observing that there is an image advert. Is this somewhat common? Does GitHub have a policy for this?

Who is still using restricted shared hosts? I used to use a Dreamhost account like that, but it was years ago. I thought everybody had moved to virtualization for which these hacks don’t help. Am I wrong? Or are new shades/restricted L

That’s the point: a small number of IPs accessing many accounts could become suspicious. (But may not be trivial to distinguish from legitimate usage due to NAT.)
