Are you joking? Please tell me that’s a joke, because there’s no way a cloud provider that big could be that daft. If that’s true, what’s the fucking point of separating them at all?

An anti-tax advocate on HN, what a surprise. The solution is that they pay their goddamn taxes. Those taxes pay for services that companies avail of as well.

Looking at the last image on the page, if that's meant to be E1M1, unless my memory is faulty, I think the author accidentally mirrored it at some point in the conversion process (possibly when gluing it together, by turning each layer

Because the system prompt is user-specified, rather than OpenAI-specified? I’m not sure how user-specified system prompts could be achieved with a blocklist.

The key is that the length of IntStream.rangeClosed(a, b) is just going to be equal to (b - a) + 1. So there's actually no reason to even invoke the streams API there.

What astounds me is the sheer arrogance of it. The assumption that only humans can be imbued with consciousness, because of... what, exactly? Self-reflection and the rejection of the scientific method?

I'd argue that to be considered a developed country, you need to be able to support your population. Being able to provide social safety nets stopping your citizens from falling into poverty is a sign of being developed. There's a

That’s a bit unfair toward her. She’s not just a professional YouTuber. She is also a bonafide[1] physicist, who has spent years acting as a contrarian to the mainstream ideas. [1]: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AuOlHBbUkX4

But I think that's missing the "magic" of it—for lack of a better word. In the situation you describe, you have to build a specific tool for the task. With LLMs, we appear to have stumbled on a general purpose tool for a myri

I don’t think the 32K context is widely available yet. I have limited GPT-4 access with 8K context after applying for it, and ChatGPT (even with Plus) has even less.
