This still can't show that my red is your red, only that my red is on the same position of my color wheel as your red is on yours

But its frequency still rose by over 300x since the start of the chart, which might suggest that for some people it is a basic color term. "English" isn't one monolith. Every English speaker speaks their own version, some clo

To use math as an example, you can always look up formulas. But after more than 1 "layer" of looking up, that quickly becomes impossible. Like, when I had to learn to calculate derivatives and primitives, I could look those things

Yup. Even if Anthropic spends that $40B back at Google and thus the money ends up there, Google is still out of $40B worth of compute or whatever the profit margin is on that. It's why eating at your own restaurant is cheaper, but stil

I had this exact realization. Taking chords from a chord progression generator, putting it into FL studio, adding a random melody that stays in the key from a cool synth preset, some random drum loop, and end result? I guess it could be cal

Over hundreds of hours of actively using AI for basically every area of my life, it has just never actually achieved anything besides giving me the feeling of productivity. Ideas are mediocre. Plans are arbitrary. Research is untrustworthy.

Theres no reason to assume that. Its equally likely trying to replace jobs with AI is the "little crusade" thst no one cares about and will fail.

This is only true if the new technology is actually significantly useful. Which so far AI has not proven to be. Theres no reason to assume people using AI will, on the long term, outcompete those who don't.

I dont think that would teach you much. Theres a reason that math textbooks for high schoolers have one theorem, and then a whole chapter of practice problems. Simply reading how to do something doesn't teach you how to do it, you have

If AI actually becomes good enough to replace intelligent people. Which, outside the online world of AI hype, is not at all a commonly accepted fact.

The problem is that LLMs stop working after a certain point of complexity or specificity, which is very obvious once you try to use it in a field you have deep understanding of. At this point, your own skills should be able to carry you for

In which case, if LLMs can perfectly one shot simple programs, creating and maintaining a really advanced program would presumably be very cheap since it could just one shot every feature. So instead of generating new image editing programs

Also, as someone who's main source of income is a YouTube channel: there is a type of threshold effect, where your videos are not good enough to watch until one day they suddenly are. This means that until you reach that threshold, it

I've noticed this getting a lot worse recently. I just want to ask a simple question, and end up gettig a whole essay in response, an 8-step plan, and 5 follow-up questions. Lately ChatGPT has also been referencing previous conversatio

I think it's just because hours spent learning by children often don't look like work to us. Like, when children are watching children's television or looking through those baby books with shapes and colors, they are studying

Because what we call electricity is electrons moving. So it would make sense for electrons to have the electric charge. Now we are in a weird situation where current flows from positive to negative, but electrons flow from negative to posit

If you asked 100 people, literally everyone would agree Arnold Schwarzenegger is more attractive than Danny Devito. For people in the middle it's a bit more subjective but there are people that are more or less attractive.

How else would you verify age? If I buy alcohol I also need a "government ID"

That seems like a slippery slope. We also require age verification for online gambling, and that hasn't had bad consequences either.

You clearly don't understand tax write offs. How would they "not take the tax write off"?? The tax write off is the expenses they made while creating the film. There is no way for them not to write it off, after the expenses

For more demanding tasks like video editing, even 16gb is not that much. Especially when you're working on big projects with hundreds of files and 100GB+ of footage. I can't see how any "pro" device only has 8gb in 2023
