This is nonsense. These nets regurgitate the most average possible output given inputs. By definition. You’re conflating and hyping and mixing up so many weird things at once. You literally couldn’t get GPT to come up with a single novelty

SwiftUI looks nice and definitely is the right direction for a compiled UI language. But in practice is terribly hard to work with compared to most web frameworks. Terribly slow recompile, no HMR, miles worse dev tooling, no way to dynamica

Avoid using "anti-vaxx" to describe everyone that disagrees with exactly your opinions, it really hurts your argument. Try defending your point rather than name calling. I will agree my "against" wording was a bit stron

It's dumb to dismiss it. Finland, Denmark and Sweden recommend against getting vaccination for young men as they have almost no risk with Covid outside of extreme co-morbidities.

I think the data still supports what I said, even in that article, but also if you want to be really accurate you'd need a meta review of a variety of articles I've read now in detail, and my general intuition is its clear that &l

The Mycocarditis line is not true - it highly depends on gender and age. Repeating that its more frequent for infection outright is wrong, it is only in certain sub-populations (female, older).

It can definitely have internal weights shipped to prod that are then "suppressed" either by the prompt, another layer above it, or by fine-tuning a new model, of which OpenAI does at least two. They also of course keep adding to

Just like the model, you’re technically correct but missing the point. No one cares if it’s good at generating nonsense, so the metric were all measuring by is truth not language. At least if we’re staying on context here and debating the u

Actually it totally is having those inner thoughts, I’ve seen many examples of getting it to be extremely “racist” quite easily initially. But it’s being suppressed: by OpenAI. They’re constantly updating it to downweight controversial area

Definitely not true for my very common use case of Postgres + Hasura + Node API. Especially the DB is way faster based on compute. You're talking ~300+ms gains in perf just in the DB layer, with the graph and node layers also getting s

The point is it's actually impossible to get good performance, even when I scale the nodes up to their highest the raw CPU is a lot lower, and that really matters. Also the cluster has nothing to do with it as this was testing reads an
