Malls around DC are crazier than ever. But I am not sure if people are spending money or not.

Maybe they just gave the LLM the keys to the city and it is steering the ship? And the LLM is like I can't lie to these people but I need their money to get smarter. Sorry for mixing my metaphors.

Yes. A lot of it. It was maybe 10% effective at best. The way one ENT described it, I have 40% degradation on one side. If it’s constant, your brain adjusts and you are essentially ok. If something happens to vary that then your brain can’t

I have tried vagus nerve stimulation and it worked for about a week and then became mostly ineffective. That is consistent with this study. So, maybe try vagus nerve stimulation first and see if that works long term.

Moral of the story: if your doctor doesn’t make you feel better try another one.

I have been diagnosed with vestibular migraines. No pain, just dizziness and brain fog and vision issues (feels like my eyes don’t point in the same direction). I also have a doctor that says I have symptoms of mold exposure (lots of correl

I agree with parent that the bigger issue is distribution. Installing random apps sucks. YouTube has distribution. If they can make more money off esoteric movies by using YouTube then that makes more sense than having an extremely long tai

And they don’t usually ask for number of subscribers, but number of paid subscribers. Startups have played enough games with this that investors should be able to hone in on the right numbers.

Why not just verify the output? It’s faster than generating the entire thing yourself. Why do you need perfection in a productivity tool?

How else would it work? The onus needs to be on someone to make sure we are doing worthwhile things. Like anything else in life, you need to prove you deserve the money before you get it. Often that means you need to refine your ideas and p

Yep, and we still need COBOL programmers too. Your job as a technologist is to keep up with technology and use the best tools for the job to increase efficiency. If you don’t do this you will be left behind or you will be relegated to an es

Sure, if I spend one hour researching a problem vs asking AI in 10 seconds, yes I will almost always learn more in the one hour. But if I spend an hour asking AI questions on the same subject I believe I can learn way more than by reading f

Sort of. But it makes sense. They missed out the first time and don’t want to be an also-ran. If he had gone for the glory from the start it may have been different. The prestigious journals probably don’t want incremental papers.

You are making zero sense. The point is the ids are random, so yes there are 74 quintillion possibilities. And roughly 74 quintillion 404’s. You need to check all of them. If you want to keep up with them you need to check them often. No on

Why does the idea need to be generated by AI? Let people generate the ideas, the AI will help execute. I think soon (3-5 years) a determined person with no video skills will be able to put together a compelling movie (maybe a short). And th
