They still killed the book for me. The underlying idea (no spoilers) is absolutely great sci-fi. All this useless blast-from-the-past did was make the story look silly to me. Such a shame. He could have written a great sci-fi book witho

I am curious, is the audio book abridged and the book far too long? Or what else could it be?

Beware, you'll also get Vampires in space, which is so silly, it kills the book.

If you want the AI to "learn" something about your methods, you need to put that stuff into the context window, done. Thats basically why "You are a helpful assistant." is not enough for a prompt. You basically need to

Still, his "Go f--- yourself" reply was one of the best things ever since sliced bread. I am still appaulding.

No. In fact, I am the antithesis to a vision pro user. I am 100% blind. Will save me a lot of money in the upcoming AR world. And once it is finally established, it will also finally cut me off from everything digital. Fun times ahea

Awww, Apple, don't become Google... I mean, if you go for a product like this, you should be prepared to sink money into it for at least 3 to 5 years. Thats what you owe to early adopters. There is nothing more sad then owning a pie

Thats a bit like calling the code your intern just handed in "legacy". Modifying AI code doesn't have all the same shortcomings as with a legacy codebase, because the AI code was likely not very good in the first place. It

Probably the most important lesson my C mentor ever told me: "Never be afraid to delete code, no matter how nice you think it is." It still hasn't fully landed with me, and I can relate to what you wrote. But I am trying to

That. Joscha Bach pretty much summarized the problem with just one word: Overfitting. I've since spotted the pattern several times. People going all in on psychedelics, seeing them as the solution to almost everything. Leary and Mc

Oh damn, DEI has finally made its way into books! The Horror. I totally dsagree. We dont have to shoot down exceptionally good peple just so that the mediocre are noticed. I dont want to notice the mediocre, I dont have time for their s

Demand and supply will determine if the standards changed. Its such a classical USA position: the market wll regulate itself. So, if you are unreplaceable, go for the gamble. However, I am afraid most people here are not, and the young g

LLMs are surprisingly effective recommendation systems. Throw in a list of your favourite books, music labels, tv shows, movies, you name it. And it will reply with some useful suggestions on what to consume next. I had particularily goo

Wha? The best sci-fi novel ever written? An Ode to free love? Stranger In A Strange Land is so creepy, I started to wonder about the sanity of Heinlein. A sex cult around a pseudo-alien? C'mon. It feels like it was written by a 1

Quit, and you have full control over your life again. Stop being so childish. Comparing holidays, sick leave, pay and nightly sleep to physical presence is simply laughable. The pandemic was an exceptional situation. Holding onto that s

You're mostly hinting at a very obvious shortcoming of synthesized speech: Its sequential. The phenomenon is most obvious if you look at screen readers using speech synthesis. Its a fundamental problem of the medium, which some devs

You're full of negative energy. Precondition for your rant being yet another pandemic, which is... diabolic to say the least. Please take a deep breath, and try to get the hate out of your system.

Relevant to this discussion? So you believe there are 45M journalists in Europe? Seriously?

I implemented Prolog and Z3 as a function tool for my little OpenAI Assistants API client. Z3 (SMT-LIB, actually) seemed even more promising. The model speaks both languages. However, I didn't find any convincing use-cases yet. B

X is by far not as relevant in Europe then over there in the USA. Nobody in my private circle has a X account. Over here, its basically an echo chamber for journalists and other hate-crime-distriibutors.

I am sorry, melatonin doesn't really do anything. It might give some the extra "kick" to fall asleep in a relaxed situation at home, but it definitely is not useful for "I need to go asleep while being pretty wound up&q

Nobody wants to be resonsible for giving allowing exceptions in security-matters. Its far easier to ignore the problems at hand, then to risk being wrong just once.

I always wondered why I personally know almost nobody who has managed to exceed average age. With the only exception of my previous landlady, she became 95. In my family, the average age is roughly 60, with three siblings on my fathers si

First question, does it pronounce numbers > 9 correctly? At least OpenAI's model doesn't perform at all, marking garbage out of almost every number it finds. I actually dont remember if I checked with EleventLabs... But I wa
