I think the author is focusing on the wrong thing. They focused on the difference in format, when they should have focused on the compression. Different image processing programs will have different compression even when set to the same n

Apples case was not a jury trial iirc, it was decided by a singular judge which can make for a very different outcome.

Bartosz does an amazing job of making custom interactives and animations to support his articles. It looks like he uses custom canvas with webgl for the 3d renders. There are 3d engines in JavaScript like three.js ( https://three

There's a massive jump in that logic, which is basically equating a large neural net to being exactly the same as a singular human being. If you ask me that is clearly not the case. They operate in entirely different ways and have

It also has a pretty good chess clock if you have a physical board but want to play timed.

I don't think it's a universal assumption. Some people do think it will hit a wall (and maybe do so soon), others think it can keep improving easily by scaling up the compute or the training data. Good LLMs like ChatGPT are a rel

This is a common argument currently, but I think training a LLM is clearly not the same as a student learning. There might be some superficial similarities but they are fundamentally different on many levels (speed, scale, perfect recall,

It's not a completely imaginary problem or a problem only affecting big corporations. If I'm an individual writer or artist and my work gets fed into an LLM against my will it can seriously undercut the value of that work or disc

I copied your P38 question verbatim into Google and seem to have gotten the answer immediately, so not sure that's a big win for the LLM.

I wonder who did that art, I'd love to hire them for something similar.

If it gets very good at "understanding" YouTube and other video content, Google could maybe find some kind of training data advantage not available to a pure text based model.

Netflix has already damaged their brand of original shows for me. After years of starting something and having it suddenly canceled and left unfinished I now don't bother to watch any original Netflix programming unless it's alre

My original favorite engineering "game" was Garrys mod, which is basically just a playground using the Half Life 2 physics and game engine. I had great fun slapping wheels on something like a bathtub and making a makeshift car, o

I'm not sure this is true- Microsoft put something like 10 billion into OpenAI, which they absolutely needed to continue the expensive computing and training. Without that investment money OpenAI might quickly find themselves at a hug

I like the font and was thinking about putting it on my blog, but $75 seems like a lot when there are other pretty good options. Maybe I'll test the free version and see if I love it..

Absolutely not, job referrals are extremely valuable and probably the best way you can fasttrack or boost your interview chances. They aren't a guaranteed job offer, but they're far from worthless.

I've played in an intense chess tournament where both players have two hours on the clock, meaning a game can take up to 4 hours plus a few extra seconds per each move. After some of the games I felt genuinely exhausted despite just

I had a T420s I think? It got me well through college and for some years after, although I eventually retired it. It was a workhorse that stood up to a lot of abuse being thrown around in my backpack every day. After I wasn't using

Seeing the exact same character in a single word having two different sizes is way more infuriating to me than a classic monospaced font having "wide" i and "narrow" m. Maybe I'd get used to it over time but right

The bot problem has not even slightly been solved by charging for API access, while lots of real value drivers have left the platform. I have tons of crypto and NFT bot spam waiting for me every time I log back in.

Twitter charges 42 thousand a month for enterprise API access. Why would Sony pay 500 thousand a year to make posting screenshots to Twitter slightly easier? It has nothing to do with whether or not the PS5 is a walled garden or their feeli
