I imagine it's not long before we see hyper-targeted commercials where the actors look like us, live in our city, etc.

A little off topic, but the 2019 movie Sound of Metal explores some of deaf culture and is a pretty excellent film for anybody interested.

I have a RadCity 4 with fenders and a basket. It’s much heavier than a regular bike. But it’s quite fun to ride and can hit 25mph. My city is rather flat and has passable bike infrastructure. I haven’t used it all that much simply because I

Yeah the project name is kinda clickbaity, ironically. Love the idea though

I imagined the AI would be reading the steps aloud to you, and so would be aware of your progress. I don’t think an AI assistant precludes the recipe being projected tho, just as in the driving example it wouldn’t replace an on screen map.

I agree. I think apps that would initially benefit from LLM-powered conversational interfaces are those that have the following traits: - constrained context - part of a hands-free workflow A couple use-cases I have been pondering

Do you mean use the LLM as a post-processing step within a ChatGPT conversation? Or generally (like as part of Whisper)? If it’s the former, I’ve found that ChatGPT is good at working around transcription errors. Regarding the latter, I agr

Interesting that removing sulphur emissions may have resulted in more solar radiation being absorbed by the oceans. Wonder if cargo ships could purposely emit some benign material that would reflect away sunlight. Although I suspect there c

This is true today, but will it be true in the future where language models are a common interface between human language (probably voice) and software actions? When I go to my bank's website, it's easy for me to find my tax forms

This is awesome. How much effort does it take to go from this to a generalist robot: “Go to the kitchen and get me a beer. If there isn’t any I’ll take a seltzer”. It seems like the pieces are there: ability to “reason” that kitchen is a ro

this piece reminded me of the way i sometimes regarded the world, maybe specifically the natrual world, as a child; that is, i felt that every piece of it was just bursting with meaning for its uniqueness. e.g. a tiny sun-speckled piece of

Yes, and there are often YC company job postings on the front page, which are technically ads.

OpenAI already does charge access to its API. ChatGPT is currently free, but LLM model access has been available through a paid API since before GPT-3.

I tried the five most recent messages I received and it worked as expected for all of them. I imagine that I'll encounter some that don't work, and at that point I'll try adding more examples to make the model more robust.
