It seems like the right solution is around the corner: placeholders for these kinds of strings (uuid, hash, etc) Why should an LLM even have these types of IDs anywhere in the prediction pipeline?

Google search results have been the worst part of every LLM I’ve used. I imagine the LLM specifically designed to use Google search is going to be the worst LLM.

Yes but I think you’re underestimating “average users”. If we talk about the median, then probably you’re right, but if we talk about “the group of people clustered around the average” I think there’s a lot of untapped potential, especially

My ideal would be a small "stick remote" with a mic button. The AI listens as long as you hold the button, and the device is efficient enough to carry with you 24/7.

Before someone argues that “this requires enough background technical knowledge to know which buttons to press to make it easy” there is a point there, but distro maintainers have had that point in front of them for decades. There’s now onl

After reading this I went through all the OSM datasets I could see (including double-checking the layers) and none of them showed the tree. Now I’m even more curious.

Can you point to which LIDAR dataset? I did not see any openstreetmap datasets with the tree present.

A tall tree on my street was lost last year: it shows the shadow for it even though it’s not on the satellite image. Now I wonder where it gets the tree data from.

I think (hope?) many of the movie watchers are caught up on the tropes and the “always makes money” formulas that Hollywood has been riding for years. If they pay attention maybe they’ll greenlight genuinely new IP and try things and let cr

Counter-intuitively, I think this puts Johansson in a stronger position. OpenAI did not want to copy her the actress, they wanted to copy HER the performance from the movie.

I’ve been reflecting on Musk’s “roads are designed for two eyes” quote. I’m not sure on the exact wording but he used it to justify dropping lidar and focusing on front-facing cameras. What got missed, I think, is that there are many cases
