Funny. I was just today thinking of this but on a Raspberry Pi with mic and speakers. Google Bard is surely coming to Google Home but it would be a fun project to get a head start of sorts!

I find this interesting not from the perspective of LLMs but it seems to imply that human language being a prerequisite for self-awareness. Is that really so?

I recommend https://write.as if you just want a clean, minimalist blog platform with photo hosting and minimal effort. Integrates with RSS, mail, even ActivityPub/Mastodon. Write in Markdown. No ads. Or self-host this softw

I like this take. It has many clear applications already and LLM's are still only in their infancy. I both criticize and use ChatGPT at work. It has flaws and it has advantages. That it's bullshit or "ELIZA" is a short-s

He's touching a current topic with the launch of Bing AI which many consider might be transformative. But yes, "we" should know better at Hacker News and separate the mud slinging from the news.

And how did it pick the facts out of these sources and compile it into a conclusion? That is a black box you will simply have to either trust or second guess everything it replies with. The first choice is naivety and the second choice is a

I just generated a C# code snippet with ChatGPT, converting an integer to a base32 string. On a glance, it looked correct. But it could impossibly have generated the given answer because it helpfully claimed how it used Crockford's Bas

Check out the Bing start page settings. You can disable the articles, and more. I basically have the text box and weather in the top left corner. I even disabled the daily wallpaper.

Sounds amazing indeed but so far I see no indication of it going to happen at Google. I think the Google ecosystem, at least as it appears to regular consumers, is in a poor and frozen state ever since Google+ failed. YouTube is YouTube as

A regular Windows 11 will also run on 2 GB of RAM. The official requirement is 4 GB because it'll stutter a lot otherwise, but there is no software block against it. This article claims the de-bloated Windows 11 will run "great&qu

A large data set will be biased if the sum of data is leaning towards some direction. I'm not sure you can produce a truly unbiased model without actively interfering with it. Just consider the fact that you'll find less republica

It seems to me it never took off which I partly blame on the direction. It's beautiful but a bit too simple and I had a locked in feeling I haven't felt before while using Linux (to the contrary in fact). As long as I remained wit

This reminds me of some TV show games here in Sweden. :) Got a perfect 1000 points on a pretty gruesome WW2 photo with jews around a train. Sort of a pyrrhic victory there... :| ~2200 on my first try, a lot obviously thanks to That Photo.

Here we go again. The samples look uncannily similar to the early text-to-image stuff we had.

I just use Go (or Nim) for native. It’s not comparable in goals and what Rust tries to do at all. But Go compiles super fast, is very fast, solves the glaring C safety issues, very keen on helping you with threads, and has a very fast garba

Unhook is great even if you’re not addicted! I used it to clean all the fluff to a minimal YouTube and suddenly it felt all like before Google had bought it! :) But now I think I understand why the extension is named Unhook?

Exactly. See my other post here — I think a HTML subset would make more sense. Then these sites would run safely on both Kristall and Firefox for as long as they adhered to this simplified standard.

I think it would be more flexible to instead of Geminispace and developing a browser without JS support to enforce “smolnet” would simply be to define a HTMLite standard with a subset where e.g. the entire script tag or img tag is not part

I agree. I trust this one more than if Google would launch a free, customizable "start page" service like it. They're killing their free services like no tomorrow.

They have grown from 300K monthly active users to 2.5M in December. Nothing compared to social networks at large, crazy numbers compared to the omg.lol user base.
