I just saw some post 9n the subteddit talking about methods to get it to provide exactly that about hallucination and confidence. With various techniques. I think in the future it'll become less problematic or more transparent about ha

Among other reasons many fighter aircraft have max altitude of 50k to 55k and starts requiring more specialized equipment. And the balloon was at 60k feet. So perhaps they don't want to reveal which aircraft have capabilites beyond the

Don't some people prefer to say the slow expansion over using the term big bang? Although it hasn't taken off as a term. Or something like that?

its hard to be critical. ive never seen a great game not do well. even games that might seem pretty not doing well if you look closely enough are often still missing something. I challenge anyone to provide a link to an actual great indie g

I personally don't think youtube or twitch is the right medium for a curated reviewer store system. It doesn't scale the right way. You need to basically be an app store but do it better than original.

So we make small dinosaurs? What about not bringing back dinosaurs but changing the dna of say a chicken to resemble that what we'd consider to be a dinosaur without it actually being any historically known dinosaur?

So how 'big' is GPT-3? Is it anywhere near being able to be run on local consumer hardware? How long until we can have the GPT3 or 3.5 chatbot locally like we have StableDiffusion locally for image generation? I've been spoil

I get it but that just seems really dangerous. I hope they have a lot of guard rails and roll back support or something.

I love going to the movie theater by myself. I dont think it sucks at all and its quite great. Its easier to get fully immersed. Its easier to find a seat. I can still chat with friends who saw the movie later by themselves.

Your kinda comparing simple basic api in perl vs likely more complicated python code here aren't you? If you had a set of single simple python functions maybe they wouldn't have broke as much if at all?

Having more data points can help give more insights into the quakes propagation. I'm no expert but I'd imagine it's not perfectly circular an is influenced by a variety of factor that with more data points makes it easier to

I never thought about it like that. I've always considered it inconvenient to not have my order details in my email history when I do a search of all emails looking for when I bought a thing or something. Especially if I dont remember

Could you mux the data of the coins? If you have a stack of gold containing 5 uuid and mix it with another stack of 3 uuid but only support 5 uuid per stack. Then calculate proportional weightings which 5 you store. You could probably find
