I bought my used 2012 Nissan Leaf in 2015 for $6000. I left it sitting uncharged for 8 months while I travelled and lost no discernable range, I have done absolutely no maintenance other than tires and windshield wipers, and I can sell it f

Kanten is a Japanese processed agar product that is refined to jelly and then sun dried into fiber blocks. It is virtually tasteless but added to soups and salads for texture. It doesn't have to be monadically appetizing to be a delici

The obituary cold case example leads me to the opposite conclusion. A determined criminal can literally use another murder to close the case on their existing murder with a well crafted prosthetic.

I really wanted to use the service but as a hobbyist it was simply too expensive. Perhaps you'll consider cases where people just want to use it non-commercially, for instance a personal home automation system or accessibility TTS.

I actually got so frustrated with gpt making me read AI-ipsum filler verbosity that I made a custom prompt along the lines of: "you are a lazy assistant. Your goal is to use as few words as possible. Monosyllabic responses are ideal. W

I think it's safe to assume anyone trying to criticize chatGPT who has access to gpt4 would specify that their attempts are using even the latest and greatest. The disclosure is in the interest of their core argument. Therefore the inv

Is it exploitation to pay someone above the average salary in their country? I would posit that it is more akin to exploitation to keep rich nations rich and poor nations poor.

I would posit the example of Carmack himself being unable (despite being IMO the greatest programmer of our generation and having all the resources and responsibility he wanted) at Meta, to make this kind of coding valuable for them.

Carmack is, of course, 100% correct. But so is the student. As someone obsessed with nuts and bolts coding, grinding on technical problems and cleverly eeking out performance, that type of career is sunsetting. The role Carmack describes is

I think it would have done well if you added an explicit rule like: "the path chosen should always minimize the number of fire tiles passed through." The way the prompt was phrased sort of invited the all-or-nothing fire approach.
