Still, I think your attention to picture quality is a niche case (like how "audiophiles" treat music). Above a certain quality that all streaming services pretty much match, I don't really care about compression. Honestly, I

Yeah, in my case that is not it. Turning the brightness up makes it significantly worse though, I agree.

Preferring dark mode does not necessitate presenting #f0f0f0 text on #000 background. Lots of websites out there that present a proper dark mode when they sniff the preference.

I am not talking about dark / light mode difference. I too prefer dark mode in everything I use. Dark mode does not mean highest contrast text on black background though.

It is a bit ironic that the website has white text on black background which is no-no on screens as the very high contrast creates ghosting and eye strain / hurt for many people. Carefully read the text, then look at anywhere else and

I only played the game in VR. It was fun, the flying experience etc. was very cool in VR and I liked how "alien" I felt in different environments. Eventually the game loop became boring I think, I started playing it less and less

I have not had one but closely monitored people that had a colonoscopy. The prep looks like worse than the colonoscopy itself.

I feel this frustration in my bones, and I felt the same way up until the proliferation of LLMs. Just paste your comment to Claude (or ChatGPT maybe?) and it will explain everything you want to know in realtime.

patrons pay patreon, not the author. patreon pays the creator. how can it be illegal? patrons trust patreon to deliver their money to the authors, but that is irrelevant. the patrons pay directly to patreon.

yeah same, from almost 30 years ago. Interesting shift. I distinctly remember having the instinct that it must be the computer that must be wrong, and what I wrote was obviously correct. Thanks for reminding me of that. With some experience

Yeah, we will find ways of training these things faster, and we will have faster hardware. We will have better, more parameter efficient models. This will inevitably be something we can do locally. You can already trade time for money. Like

In a more scheduled hospital / care setting, yes. In ER care setting (the example in the article), it is a lot more chaotic. Disseminating care information to people further down / up the hierarchy takes time that they might not h

Depending on the situation, can make it actively harder as well. Do I spend the time to verbally fluff up the relative of a patient or go and tend to 5+ other patients that need critical care right now (the example in this article)? If the

>(Think of all the short, poignant messages you've sent or received when someone is upset.) If it is short and not fluffy enough, it risks sounding dismissive. Those short messages generally pave way for a deeper conversation about

You can explain it in simple terms. Does not mean they'll listen or agree. Some people just want to feel validated, and they need it repeatedly.

by dkarras 3y ago
It is also draining to be around people that always require feeling heard and validated or else they get crabby. Two sides to everything. The doc in this story probably does not require AI to write something compassionate. He simply does no

Elon thinks they need it because they did not vacate it or break the lease. I don't think there are many tech companies that need a physical office in this day and age. That doesn't mean you can squat offices though.

yeah I never use BBEdit day to day but I have it installed in my drive for those times where I have to wrangle big files.

how does it work though? sounds like you are being rewarded for not holding your own end of the promise (next day you do less challenging thing). I'm not saying punishment should work better but curious how it works.

Honestly, blocked countries are not losing out. I can't believe how behind Google is on all this. Bard in its current incarnation is a disaster. Pretty much all replies are hallucinations. Looks like Google really was caught pants down

yeah, been using it instead of ChatGPT and it performs better IMO. My conversational LLM of choice for sure.

I've been using it through poe and I prefer it to ChatGPT but can't pinpoint why. It just "gets" me better I guess?

I don't get the obsession with CEO salaries. Envy is not a productive way of thinking about economics. In a huge company, distribute the CEO compensation to employees and it will be peanuts (in microsoft's case, it is something li
