They should really just park themselves on the side of the road (or observe in real time), wait for another car to go first, then follow that path

Looks like an amazing product. Been playing around with it for a few mins. The UI is quite buggy and jumps around a lot (Chrome, MacOS), and seems to auto-refresh on the organizations page, which makes curating lists impossible. What's

Thanks for the suggestions! Will implement these. Caching is a great idea.

I mean obviously predicting tokens in the context of LLM output requires planning. But planning tokens doesn’t generalize. This is evident when you train an LLM on a small data set and ask it about any unseen variation of it. There are many

This is one of those things I’d love to be wrong on. I think your point on combining them with other models is interesting. Do you think that Markov chains can reason and plan? Dijkstra’s algorithm? Curious where you draw the line

A lot of the hype around LLMs and the unfounded promises of them solving complex tasks autonomously seem to stem from a lack of understanding on how these models actually work. The tech is impressive and has its uses, but we shouldn’t prete

I kind of think of LLMs as fish in an aquarium. It can go on any path in that aquarium, even places it hasn't been before, but ultimately it's staying in the glass box we put it in.

For what it's worth, there's a huge barrier to get to SV in the form of US immigration policies. Your anecdote is no doubt valid, but if those immigration policies were loosened up, I'd bet we'd see an even larger migrat

Seeing a lot of text-to-image out there recently. Does anyone know what the current state of the art is on image-to-text? Thinking something similar to Midjourney's /describe command that they added in v5

Heroku has been an absolute dumpster fire. Every time their name comes up I can't help but mention that they deleted my account for inactivity, but have still been charging my credit card. No easy way to cancel because... they deleted

Heroku sent me repeated messages that they would shut down my account due to inactivity. I was fine with that because finding and turning off the supposedly active Dyno was impossible. Guess what? Still charging me $27 a month for a server

I've been very skeptical, but recently come around on my position. There are a lot of abstract ideas on why crypto is a good thing (permissionless, decentralized, censorship resistant, anonymity etc etc), but I personally wouldn't

Yes, if you trade it on a marketplace such as OpenSea. You could argue that the benefits and upside of wash trading outweigh the cost (about $10 per tx).

Ah yea, I didn't mean importing yourself as a model. Just a digital wardrobe of sorts with the model being a default like you have in Style Space. https://www.tiktok.com/@_radcollab/video/6973274254406110469

Apologies for the late reply. I downloaded Style Space yesterday after you mentioned here, and the main problem really just was not being able to import my own photos. A consumer play might be super interesting here; let users import their

I'm holding a tiny amount of BTC, but this has been my reason not to invest more. I know that at most I might be comfortable investing $20K in Bitcoin now, but that's literally it. If that amount increased 100x, it'd be $2mm.
