the fact that they kept building them doesn't really mean it worked any better. the answer might be that it had all the same problems, they just cared less about solving those problems. the problem with towers in the park is isolatio

i like chat. all the more dedicated ai development tools try to force the author's (or somebody's) specific workflow, and fall into an uncanny valley sort of situation for my workflow, where it highlights all the bits of my workf

does buying drugs count?

Given the openness of their model, that should be pretty easy to detect. If it were even a small possibility, wouldn’t openAI be talking about it very very loudly?

i know it as a "web 2.0 thing", but i guess that counts as old-school internet now. that was all set off by flickr - they might not have been the first to do it, but they were the first to get popular enough to set off a wave of i

i'm pretty sure most content moderation strategies operate on a budget below what most LLMs would cost. for any site hosting user-generated content, how efficiently you can run your moderation system is essentially your unique selling

that's really only a risk when you allow direct retrieval of the uploaded data. if you're only returning counts and you're not even offering a guarantee that every submission will be counted, then the potential for abuse isn&

for me, the most important lesson i've learned when using websockets is to not use them whenever possible. i don't hate them, they're great for what they are, but they're for realtime push of small messages only. tryi

there doesn't appear to be any timeline announced here. the article says the "initial investment" is expected to be $100bn, but even that doesn't mean $100bn this year. if this is part of softbank's existing plan t

This is just the fundamental way the internet works, and is the reason that anonymizing proxies like Tor exist. If you don’t want people to be able to detect your rough geographic location, you should be using a proxy to hide it. For every

not in my experience. i had an edge 120 bike computer and a vivoactive watch, and the last 10% wasn't enough to get through anything. the 10% from 100 to 90% would be plenty, but the last 10% always drained really quick and charged s

i'm gonna say the author mistakenly held their knife upside down at lunch, and then instead of just saying "haha that was dumb" like a normal person, wrote a whole article to explain how it was actually the knife's fault
