I often want chatgpt to answer concisely and tell it that. If it really needs to do this 'thinking out loud', could it do that under the hood and not in the final output on my screen? Its first pass could use as many words as it w

Maybe this is giving reddit too much credit, but I do see people say "append reddit to searches" literally every time the topic of search is brought up, so what if reddit is aware people do that but doesn't want to be a sea

It's funny how people always say you only realize how bad fact checkers are when you know about their subject...and you only realize how true that is when you know about their subject They write "It’s a doctored image of the accou

This is super cool! I tried it on a video I recorded a while ago that I completely forgot about and was like wait wow the summary came away with points that I'd be glad a viewer got. One thing is it was a very long and rambling video a

As context this was a big international fiasco. Nobody was acting maliciously but fans of RNG and other teams felt wronged. RNG didn't want to attend due to covid restrictions on travel but Riot really wants Chinese viewers in internat

This is a good question. I remember having to give my identity before walking out of a store with a computer with a GPU in it, and if someone really wanted to buy multiple GPUs for mining that wouldn't stop them. The SEC lists some fac

According to the wikipedia article they jump and shoot ink and are generally very annoying, to the extent that there's an april fools day story that they were genetically modified... one of the sources has some funny stories/comic

Matt Levine seems pretty popular here and his dumb investment certificate idea, while ofc a joke, expresses the sentiment that maybe it's not possible to regulate everything but some investments (eg nfts) are transparently dumb and if

Thanks for making this! As a fellow very bad hex player I have had a lot of fun inevitably losing to the agent. You might be interested in this - the one time I won, it seemed like a bug? I was playing red and blue could have easily won, bu

This is the only thing that makes me pause before dismissing the article as ridiculous in cases where it's people choosing to spend money on cosmetics. There might be whales who are addicted to the spending or gambling somehow. Otherwi

As ss108 said you mentioned email but for me the real challenge has always been calling customer support numbers (eg ISP) and dealing with unhelpful automated menus. What I found really useful is to ignore all the stuff they say and just sa

It seems like the issue was more that the class was not only bad for her but poorly structured in general - it would be a good thing for non math majors to learn topics like linear algebra but the department could set up classes differently

It should be increasingly expensive and time consuming to add more sides to your profile shape, eg pentagon->hexagon is a step up. Adding enough sides to be a circle, or indistinguishable from one on a pixelated screen, would be very pre

In a happier example, New Orleans sinks old Christmas trees to fortify the receding wetlands. Not a totally happy example actually because overall there's still destruction of nature and increased risk of floods. At least it's a g

It's interesting that in the British navy, "Able" seaman was not about disability as we would think about it at all (even though they would, like, climb up ropes or whatever sailors do). It seems much closer to how we'd

I mean, I can see the point. Maybe facebook is getting money but not actually creating value for people. ...but if we get Mars bases, so what? I'd rather play video games on earth than farm potatoes on Mars. Call it a lack of imaginati

To add to the other reply, governments can be pretty good at unoptimizing the user's experience. As opposed to, like, game companies trying to make it really easy and tempting to pay for stuff on your phone, the specific government per

The Paxos paper...I mean it seems funny, especially so to the author's academic audience who get all the references? From the distributed systems class I took, the main takeaway was Paxos seems inaccessible mainly due to the byzantine

I have no idea how this or GPT3 works or how to evaluate them, but couldn't you argue that it's working as it should? You tell copilot to write a fast inverse square root, it gives you the super famous fast inverse square root. It
