the o1 model definitely has a somewhat big variance in how long the task takes depending on what you ask it to do

For anyone curious to hear more about how this happens, and a discussion with someone who was a former police officer (maybe even detective?) yet still fell victim, The Daily did an episode on this in April as well In general, I've see

The linked release mentions trusted users and links to the usage tier limits. Looking at the pricing, o1-preview only appears for tier 5 - requiring 1k+ spend and initial spend 30+ days ago edit: sorry - this is for API :)

I suppose my phrasing was a bit harsh at the end. To be clear, I mean that it doesn't mean they know what they are doing on every investment. Investing misses happen! People are wrong!

That's a very dismissive and unrealistic statement. There are plenty of investors investing in things such as AI and crypto out of FOMO who either see something that isn't there or are just pretending to see something in the hope

The best thing about an iPod was most certainly not the wired headphones, it was how much music you could store compared to most preceding devices.

To be clear, by super polished I mean that something that looks like a modern consumer app is sometimes discounted.

Dense and functional looking UIs are also prime for any sort of B2B software. It facilitates giving buyers the impression that the software is more functional than something super polished.

If you need to submit to their server, I don't know who would use it for commercial reasons anyway. Most biotech startups and pharma companies are very careful about entering sequences into online tools like this.

Interesting - I almost always iterate on code in the same session. I will try doing it with history off and frequently re-starting the session. I naively assumed the extra context would help, but I can see how it's also just noise when

Whether you can see this POV or not, I'd consider that from their perspective you are trying to sell them something. You are trying to sell them on the notion that they should give their time to you for free and they should give you in

I do get what you are saying, and would agree that one should strive to use words as the dictionary indicates for clarity. But I also think that much product and marketing overloads terms and most of the time there isn't a clear defini

Except, there has been a disclaimer for as long as I can remember that clearly states that incognito will not hide your activity from websites, your employer, or a gov agency. It has always been billed as a way to order a present without a

I've known people who have decided to not be a third co-founder because of situations like the other two being brothers. The simple reality is that that no matter how professional people try to be, and how high the bar is, that someone

That's very interesting, thanks for sharing! And yes, always need to be careful about making definitive statements.

Who would actually spend that much money though? Mercedes and maybe Ferrari*? Everyone else would just fall further and further behind. To me this seems like a necessary transition period. Once new engines and regulations come into play, so

The reality is that all motorsports are expensive. It's not easy to do karting in the US and work your way into the domestic racing scene. It's going to involve well off parents, parents who sacrifice a huge portion of their time,

I know that F1 gets a lot of flack for the cycle's of team dominance due to large differences in the cars, but it's something that I quite like about the sport. I find it interesting to learn about pull rod vs push rod suspension,

I just mean that strict controls over the ability to raise prices & not letting the landlord terminate the lease after a 12-month cycle has ended would likely effect the calculations done by landlords. A landlord may want a high price t

Berlin is a very odd city for renting. There are so many protections for renters. I have a friend who's parents bought a place there while she was doing her PhD. She got a roommate who was starting a PhD at the same time. This friend h

This has roughly been my experience in San Diego with SDG&E as well. We are renting with mostly older appliances, including an electric water heater that with an energy rating sticker suggesting a cost of nearly $100 month - the numbers

Until someone develops some sort of multi-spectral imaging that can reliably sort plastic based on it's composition there's little hope of recycling plastic. And then you still need different enzymes that can break down different

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems a little dubious to me that OpenAI could just rely on ToS to prevent direct copying of the source material. Shouldn't there be some onus on them to not spit out portions of stories verbatim?

Am I just overly critical, or does the lack of anything of substance in that abstract indicate that the paper doesn't really have anything to say?

In this particular instance, I think all evidence would suggest that "western" security companies have been extremely successful in developing exploits for iOS, Android, and plenty of other platforms. So it would make a lot of sen

I think there are enough grocery apps that it is better to show price data than not. Though I'm certainly baising that off how I shop rather than a general economics / game theory POV. I regularly use the Ralphs app to cross shop

Isn't this about 6 and 7mm nodes? Aren't those still pretty good nodes with lower costs than the cutting edge (3nm and lower)?

There are a number of ways to avoid being tracked [1], and interestingly the Vox or NYT podcast where I heard about them indicated that Swift was in the program(s). Based on this quote from the article, it does seem that there are ways to s

It seems unlikely to me that the majority of CompUSA purchases were presents while running errands with the recipient.
