Video tl;dr: Psychtoolbox is a popular open source tool for creating vision and neuroscience experiments. As typical of open source projects, the project mostly runs by a single, underpaid developer's time (Mario Kleiner). They tried t

I think it is good to bear in mind that the distinction between perception, cognition and action/behaviour is in reality a reduction. There is more to these categories about the way we communicate and organise our society rather than m

Imo if the northern lights are strong, the live experience is superior to photos because of how they move, while photos are still images. But many times they are not as strong and they do not look like much with naked eye, while long exposu

The target audience is neither engineers nor general public; these announcements are meant for tech journalists/youtubers etc to refer to when writing or talking about it.

It is not about "infinite number of combinations", it is about browsers having some specific functionality as of now (not just in iOS), people preferring using web versions of apps on them because of that instead of installing app

If it is a company laptop, it can be impossible (unless you sort of hack it to circumvent the security settings they put).

Thank you for sharing this! Looking forward to try it, seems like an interesting idea. My strategy on bandcamp is conceptually similar, albeit manually.

To be fair, while they did introduce new restrictions in the past, for example disabling imap support for free email accounts, the restrictions did not apply to older accounts that had already these features activated. Ie if you were using

Making things open is a means, not an end, _in general_. The end is what we do with these things. What you call "competition" I would call "monopoly". A healthy, non-monopolic (or such) state of AI would be open by itsel

I would bet for this use case LLMs to be worse than random walk, as they would probably disregard certain possibilities in crucial steps, unless we are talking about easier stuff.

Considering these models are released by "Microsoft AI", I doubt they do anything against the ToS of "Open"AI.

No, but if you wanted to count how many coconuts you had, you would start with 0 (pointing at nothing) and then you would continue by 1,2 etc pointing to each other coconut. This would allow you to use the same counting process to count som

I doubt that 10xGPT3.5 > GPT4. There are a lot of tasks that GPT4 can do and GPT3.5 just cannot. Also, in such cases I find that GPT3.5's hallucinations are quite consistent, so such a method is probably not gonna help.
