Why “obviously absurd”? They had spotless reputations, until they didn’t. So did the FTX guy, for instance. Just because you don’t understand, doesn’t mean something is nonsensical

How do you make sure chatGPT doesn’t do exactly that? (Manipulation of responses)

it feels to me that to date, selling people's information remains as the only viable large business model of the internet, after ecommerce

In reality, I feel like there’s two main ways successful startups start: 1) you talk to someone who tells you they have a problem, you fix it for them, then scale from there 2) you ship something you find useful or fun and other people find

it had many contributors, but organized through very few reviewers, and in a very organized fashion. It's a good example of reasonably well executed software IMO - nobody pushing code to get promoted or pushing for growth hacks in the

I don't think this is in any way related to "good" or "bad" times, but rather something much simpler: software made by way too many people is invariably bad. Software made with the wrong incentives first (promotions

It is expensive, yes. Fine-tuning is a way to encode instructions without having to resubmit them every time. You also have to resubmit _past iterations_, such that the agent has “memory”, so that’s also quite wasteful Openai is allegedly l

this account is 100% bad takes, I wonder if it's some sort of chatbot?

This was definitely a theory that made people burn tons of money on the past couple of years, but I don’t think it holds water. These models are getting obsolete so fast, and there’s so many open ones, I doubt any one’s privately trained mo

"nobody knew" doesn't mean nobody acted. The rational actors that act only on information "everybody knows" are usually late to the game

Neat! I couldn’t find a pricing page - is there a server side component or is it all p2p?

unrelated to this specific initiative, but - I keep seeing a lot of announcements of huge VC rounds around what's effectively datacenters for GPUs. Curious about the math behind that - I feel like those things get obsolete so fast, it&

my understanding is cancer gets more prevalent when the telomeres get old (short?), since it leads to more mutations/botched replication?

there wasn't really much of a lockdown where I live, so I sincerely doubt that. Also I got COVID after the entire lockdown was over everywhere (2021), sooo no

I had the same after COVID. Took me many months to start feeling functional again. Any time I tried to think about something, it'd just... noise out? First 2-3 months were just awful I went to a neurologist who said there's tons o

I'm not a biologist, but I believe what you're talking about is telomerase?

Since webxr is confirmed to be supported, and u can do 3d video with it, it’d be extremely unlikely they would restrict that

What's the chances the iPhone will end up like Betamax? It doesn't offer porn apps, after all

by herval 3y ago
porn has existed since humans were able to draw pictures on cave walls, and on every kind of medium invented since. That "malicious vice" won't go away any time soon
