It seems like few shot prompting and providing some examples to LLMs with large context windows vastly out performs any amount of rag, or fine tuning. Aren't rag and fine tuning fundamentally flawed, because they only play at the surfa

I haven't seen anywhere but maybe this thread knows: all those objects were CGI, surely, right? Like I can't imagine it was possible to make the trumpet and other objects "crumple" at the perfect spot to not disrupt the

Totally agree. The people saying "but now we're talking about the iPad, mission accomplished!" isn't even marketing 101 grade. Like saying that using the color red makes people think of a stop sign, so they won't bu

The web of 3 decades ago, so 1994, when the entire web was 3,000 websites? I feel like the world has collectively forgotten that the web has virtually always been ad-supported. The entire dot com boom and bust was all about ads, and -that-

The web you enjoy today would simply not exist without advertising.

$20 ARPU averages out to about $1 in profit in typical SaaS. Gotta generate more than that to make investors whole, unfortunately

Gotta pay for all that compute somehow. It's not what users want, it's what users will accept. Many precedents have been set here, unfortunately.

I'd be very surprised if Apple is paying attention to anything that's happening with windows. At least as a divining rod for how to execute.

I think (hope) wwdc changes this. The function keys on the Magic Keyboard give me hope. Also, you know you don't HAVE to buy a laptop every year, right?

And here it is in an OS that can't even max out an M1! That said, the function keys make me think "and it runs macOS" is coming, and THAT would be extremely compelling.

Fair use in copyright: it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. But yes, open to interpretation as far as where LLM training fal

I think the opposite. The trial length is simply a proxy for how long it takes the prospect to actually have the meeting to make the decision. By making it 41 days instead of 14, prospects will sign up and then wait 35 days before logging i

Not necessarily. This also uncovers the weakness of the NYT lawsuit. Imagine in your corpus of training data is the following: - bloga.com: "I read in the NYT that 'it rains cats and dogs twice per year'" - blogb.com: &q

I disagree. Weight loss doesn't automatically mean "healthier." Using vo2 as a metric of "health" would not be correct if weight loss is the sole attribution of vo2 gain. One can lose weight without doing a minute o

by mvkel 2y ago
You should know that vo2 measurements that aren't performed via gas exchange or blood measurement are a complete guess. The other thing is the denominator of vo2 is weight. So losing weight without working out at all will increase vo2

Regardless of the defenses used, a company trying every possible defense they can is simply good corporate counsel. Like when you're paying taxes, an accountant using every possible tactic they can to reduce your tax burden is simply g

This is extremely cool. Even the readme is beautiful! I'm going to give this a try. I've been holding off on adding an extension to my app because of the absolute cluster that is Google Play.

Funny, in reading up on both, I had higher hopes for the gravitational waves. It seems like GWB is a superposition of infinite overlapping waves that would be impossible to single out and "unwind" in order to form a map. And big b

The quote "markets can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent" comes to mind. Governments can stay irrational longer than you can stay vigilant. It's frustrating that a decision can be made at great effort in su
