I can recommend Dr. Becky's introduction to the issues surrounding the Hubble Tension and recent JWST measurements in this 16 minute clip, as she introduces laymen to the problems well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h

I much prefer Claude 3 or even ChatGPT guardrails over Gemini. Gemini feels kind of powerful and then it does the most egregious things like this or hilarious imagegen of those black nazis as if they hammered it into the system prompt, bad

Yeah, I've also started having those info bars on subsystems like Intellisense crashing when trying to popup the context menu to present refactoring options etc. It began less than a year ago.

Yes, F# is an often forgotten gem in this new, brighter cross-platform .NET world. :)

Holy crap, ChatGPT 3.5 fared terribly on that one. I'm usually negative to these kinds of tests and rather rely on the blind test at the leaderboard on Hugging Face, but this one was special in the unique results that still makes &quot

OK? Why do hallucinations on meta topics still make news? Even a 7B model could tell you this.

True and this is also the reason why open source models are commonly uncensored. It's frustrating though because these companies have the resources to do amazing things, but it's been shown that censoring an LLM can dumb it down i

Like the upcoming Gemini Pro 1.5, I note that even Claude 3 Sonnet (free usage at claude.ai) is much more powerful than ChatGPT 3.5 according to the benchmarks, sometimes reaching ChatGPT 4 class. Um, this is starting to become a trend, Ope

Inspired by the article, this is the first definite and attributable mention of Commodore going out of business that I could find in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.amiga.advocacy/c&#x2

I've been thinking, just for fun, which browsers still would support Windows XP. The answer was that nothing current or even half decent really did and I had to go back quite a bit in time to find anything. So this actually fills a nic

Ah, I didn't know this and I agree this is a fairly big issue and increasingly so over time. I think smartphones in particular hastened the demand for HDR quite a bit, what was once a premium/enthusiast feature you only had to exp

Wow, that new jpegli encoder. Just wow. Look at those results. Haha, JPEG has many years left still.

WebP is awesome at lossless and way better than even PNG. It's because WebP has a special encoding pipeline for lossless pictures (just like PNG) while AVIF is basically just asking a lossy encoder originally designed for video content

Pay attention to just how good WebP is at _lossless_ comparison though! I've always thought that one as flying under the radar. Most get stuck on WebP not offering tangible enough benefits (or even worse) over MozJPEG encoding, but Web

The key to why I use AI is basically their tailored and to the point answers. Google tries to find prewritten blog posts etc. that may or may not hit the mark, and to get there you probably also have to wade through lots of ads and cruft an

Yes, it's not for altruistic reasons but to lower the barrier of entry.

I agree and also delete my account. The only "fix" here is to act like Hetzner and null route upon DDoS, price cap the thing, or offer unlimited bandwidth on the free tier like e.g. Cloudflare Pages. Uncapped but paid is a recipe

I understand the lack of limits but I haven't accounted for DDoS attacks on Netlify infrastructure to impact me. I was assuming this only included real, "organic" traffic. What I think Netlify needs on their Plans page is to

With 128K context (1M paid) compared to 32K. Man, Google is going to be a game changer for especially free AI tiers. Edit: BTW, more Mistral benchmarks here: https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/endpoints/ TIL Mistral

Alright. So the tldr of this article is that the more we are, the more we can commit to research in eg shrinking agriculture area per capita, which will be less hard on Earth. That we need a large population because it's cross discipli

I think it's sensible to have at the very least federation function as intended ahead of DM's as I imagine DM is another part pretty contingent on federation due to the privacy issues becoming approximately 10x more complicated wi

Yeah I can't imagine using the current model as part of an API (a popular use case for GPT-4) having seen this. I'm not sure it impacted their API edition of GPT-4 but this plainly shows how it could have given it leaked into anot

I think it was in Ukraine's interests too in order to urgently block Russian profits. I think USA, Ukraine, or both in a cooperation.

Gemini Pro is free at gemini.google.com, Gemini Ultra is the paid one. The remaining tier is Gemini Nano for on-device use. This has some serious implications for OpenAI as Gemini Pro 1.5 that is tested here indeed seems to beat their premi

This might be good strategically from the perspective of EU companies where the physical location of operations can matter a lot depending on your field of business, e.g. NIS 2 Directive for energy companies and other sensitive infrastructu

You say this almost as if there is political clout in hyper taxing CO2 or forcefully cooling down the world economy. But yeah, it would be fun if we could simply quickly begin reducing emissions. But there is a reason emissions are instead

I recommend you to look for alternatives to X rather than alternatives to access it. It's several months now since I closed my account and I find news and discussion in other social media and news sites now. X is a less big deal than o

This sounds stupid. And that lofty $5B target. Surely Meta don't want Reddit threads at this point? Then there's only one outlier within social media I can think of that is as silly as this and wants the kind of content and tone o
