ChatGPT uses a 1.7 trillion parameter model IIRC. I wouldn't expect a 70b model to compare well. There are medical finetunes that might be better to try for this, like https://huggingface.co/wanglab/ClinicalCamel-7

There are a few good points here but the author doesn't help their case by suggesting that ringing phones should be illegal. That's ridiculous on multiple levels. I prefer to have my phone on silent, and I often leave my home with

I started using vim about 12 years ago during my first dev job, after challenging myself to learn enough of it to use it for a day. It's very possible that my muscle memory will retain vim keybindings for the rest of my life. His impac

I once worked in a role where my boss made me rework commits that were too DRY. I had to completely decouple features that were early in development, then reopen the PR. I thought it was excessive and pointless at the time, but I've se

It seems like a really, really difficult task to enforce any laws that might develop around this. This isn't like paparazzi nudes that get out every few years - it's just math, and thousands could be generated overnight with littl

I'm a sports fan and I see it as an annual subscription model. They update rosters and make small tweaks, and if I don't care I can stick with the older games. I've seen Jetbrains use a model where you optionally subscribe fo

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. I'm working on an open source AI project, and I use a kanban board for two things: items I know I'm likely to forget, and items I've completed already when I enter them. I ge

I feel like 2010-2020 was a stagnant time for hardware, which was most visible in the lack of huge leaps in gaming console quality. AI is changing that. Having tons of RAM and VRAM really does open up options that would simply be impossible

Sorry I missed this! Fourth of July weekend. This is the last thing I'll say on this topic, but I don't take direction from others on when to share my views in a public forum. Thank you. My opinion stands.

I can tolerate different viewpoints on branch names and codes of conduct, but this is just an unhinged way to respond. I feel bad for everyone who has contributed to Nim and now has to live with this stain on their project

I don't think it's about servers getting hammered so much as it's about AI causing them to rethink the value of their data, then deciding user hostility is the best way to extract said value

I really don't want to work for someone who reluctantly "allows" me to be in my home. Or someone who views it as a generous perk that might get taken away during tough times. So, I think people who want in-office work should

A bar is giving away free beer, but if you pay $10.00, you get a party hat. So you grab a free beer and notice a group of people wearing party hats. Idk, still seems like a pretty good deal to me. Wouldn't hurt to support the joint eit

So we just have to use that feature that lets you add non-Steam apps to Steam. What is the real impact of this? Seems like it'll reduce exposure to the extremely rare Steam user who doesn't know emulators exist and/or how to

Sometimes it can sting a little to know that I did a crappy job at something, but I see a lot of value in learning from it. When my brother was in art school many years ago, he asked me to critique his work. After a few polite comments, he

Saw this coming. Clubhouse was exciting at first when it was a place where you could pop in on random celebrity conversations, but now is mostly a place for bad bad business advice, bad relationship advice, and clout chasers trying to get r

I'm an MMA fan and I'm not concerned about this affecting UFC's integrity. Their matchmaking is already often based off of what will be marketable. It's an accepted part of the business, and they know they need to balanc

I find it useful in Edge where it's aware of the tab contents. It's nice to be able to ask it to summarize a long article, or find Reddit comments about it and summarize those. I think it uses Bing's search index because it d

I was thinking about this the other day and assumed they would just relicense it. Guess I was wrong. What's the point? Streisand effect ensures it will be the most sought-after model while they're making a big deal out of it, and

There's a part of me that loves this, and loves any UI inspired by older operating systems. Then there's the part of me that doesn't want to feel like I'm learning a new operating system when using a website. As much as

There is so much untapped potential in Youtube right now. Hopefully new leadership means improvements in YT Live and YT Music, both of which feel like afterthoughts even though they have large competitors.

It's a front end for running Stable Diffusion. It can generate anything, but the embeddings allow people to augment Stable Diffusion with specific concepts. So the embeddings they linked to could potentially be seen as something that t

I'm not super familiar with Planet and know it's totally different, but this sort of reminds me of Google Reader. I've seen others replicate its newsreader UI, but never the community.

They're both polarizing, but for different reasons. I'm not a fan of Musk, but his ability to reason and reflect on his mistakes is in a whole different league from Trump IMO. A major factor in the outrage over people supporting T

The frustrating thing about this is that it's still extremely common for people to spam the n-word over voice chat, that's been a problem for years, and I haven't noticed any significant progress in reducing their numbers.

I started the wiki linked in the article (codconsumer.org). Long time HN lurker and was pleasantly surprised to see this here! I was only banned for a week, but I'm absolutely certain that there was nothing sketchy happening on my side
