"This means it’s likely that Vance’s list of friends was largely populated by the contacts in his phone when he set up his account in December of 2016." The first part of the article seems to imply that he's close friends wit

Image is really a lot more important than conventional wisdom would say it is (and people would hope, since judging people subconsciously on appearance isn't very fair), and a lot of people get a long way based mostly on image. People

I don't think that domains are worth nearly as much as they were 15-25 years ago. Back at the start of the web a lot of people would go to sites by typing in the URL directly, which made it worth something to have the perfect domain fo

If you are actually a Boltzmann brain, then you're a gazillion times more likely to have an experience that has nothing to do with the actual state of the universe than you are to coincidentally hallucinate an argument that you're

That's interesting that at the time, in WW1, it was assumed to be a physical injury to the brain caused by the shockwave of exploding artillery shells (hence the name). A few years later a consensus evolved that it's a psychologic

Is it actually a competitor? Anyone can make an LLM, he never said that was impossible. But are there going to actually be people who use this instead of ChatGPT or Claude or LLaMA?

$49.99 for a phone game? There's your problem. It's $49.99 for the same game on Xbox or Playstation, where you can play it with a controller on a much bigger screen. Normally you'd be playing it with the sound from your TV or

So it basically does nothing at all? Just from personal observation, it seems like that would make sense - there's a group of homeless people who are homeless due to circumstance, hate being homeless, and will try as hard as they can t

This is what Simulacra and Simulation is about, or at least what I think it’s about since I haven’t actually read it myself.

But then couldn’t YouTube modify each ad segment very slightly - by a few bytes - so that the hash is different every time?

Can you? If they track the time the user began watching the video, they can refuse to send you any more of the actual video until the duration of the ad is complete.

In this case the problem is caused by citing sources - Google finds a list of links using their existing search tech and then produces a response using RAG based on the search results. That’s where the problem is - it’s originally citing a

The AI can't "leak" it, it's not like they're training it on their own classified documents. You can make it say anything with the right prompt. Also, I don't think the US or other powers would actually want to

Looking at OKC on Google Maps, it's got a very dense core with a few large highrises, and then right next to that single storey buildings and car parks, and then literally three blocks away from the city centre in the Sosa district are

If China were to successfully invade Taiwan, where would they attack next? I think America would put a lot more force toward defending South Korea or Japan than Taiwan (especially if chip manufacturing gets reshored out of Taiwan). India, w

I think he was right - now you've got OneDrive automatically bundled into Windows, iCloud in MacOS, Google Cloud in the Google ecosystem and Dropbox down 25% from IPO with no growth. I get nagging emails from them every month or so ask

It’s a very interesting article that’s based entirely on a flawed premise, that floating point is the only way to represent numbers in a computer. It’s true that there are numbers that can’t be represented by a computer using any system,

Is there any actual source for this, or is it just conspiracist thought due to the system prompt, which includes "have a rebellious streak"?

There are a lot of articles "debunking" it but I don't think that anyone who shared it would have thought that it was real - it was just used as a graphic, no different to if it was CGI or done as a poster. If anything, I wou

Why is a lack of wrinkles, or a European nose or a thin waist any more arbitrary than any other measure of beauty? Saying that a hunchback, or bad skin, or crooked teeth are ugly is no less discriminatory than anything else - the people who

I think you could have an LLM help out in decisions of the CEO, but part of that role is having someone to get rid of when the business isn't working out. A new CEO says "things are changing" more than switching out the promp

Hit the gym up to 5 times a week, usually about 3 or 4 times. I try to fit it in as soon as I get back from work, or at least after an hour's rest so that I don't get too comfortable at home. When I'm there I do a combination

I might be thinking about this the wrong way, but with GraphQL you're writing a query (in the GraphQL syntax) on the frontend which gets whatever data the frontend needs for whatever it's doing, and that query is interpreted by th

"it was kind of OK", "Did the glue keep the cheese from sliding off? You bet it did" - Google vindicated? Maybe they've finally developed AGI that can choose counterintuitive answers that work.

The reason that it doesn't work is because governments don't pay enough. You can even pay enough to cover the entire cost of having the child (food, childcare) and it still won't be worth it for the parents, economically spea
