I had to do something similar with BigQuery and some open source datasets recently. I had bad results with Claude as you mentioned. It kept hallucinating parts of the docs for the open datasets, coming up with nonsense columns. Not fixing e

What benefit do these AI regulations provide to progressing AI/AGI development? Do they slow down progress? If so, how do the countries that intend to enforce these regulations plan to compete on AI/AGI with countries that don’t h

If you’re good looking, you’re not going to be wasting time on apps These days, saying hi seems to be risky for more reasons than rejection. Maybe more so if you’re not good looking. Hence the apps

Retention is at odds with the goals of the users of dating apps. I wonder if there’s a more aligned system that charges for premium features when there’s inactivity. Or you can only use the app’s premium features again after some period of

From my understanding, downloading and running software could be considered a form of conduct or could be considered a form of expression, depending on the intention (e.g. using an LLM to generate poetry would be expression). The latter wou

Other than intellectual property concerns and some obtuse arguments about the model inciting others to break the law (which isn’t specific to China anyway), I’d be really curious what good arguments can be made about how it isn’t protected

The bill is political theater and this article is playing into it. A downloaded model that can be run on US servers is covered by the first amendment as free speech. This is not the same circumstance as the law that required TikTok divest o

I agree Duolingo is not a substitute for more immersive learning or even just taking classes. It's especially not very ideal for the spoken parts of a language since it can't do the best job at judging your pronunciation and you&#

I’ve been regularly using Duolingo to learn Portuguese for the past almost year (according to my streak). All the “dark patterns” you describe have helped me stay on track. I actually appreciate the addictive nature of the app pushing me to
