Reminds me of the first episode of Space 1999 where nuclear explosions on the moon push it out of orbit (not implying there will be explosions, just a nostaligic memory brought up by this news) https://www.youtube.com/watch?

ChatGPT4 can generate the sql for whatever query, and it can create the schema and modify it. How do you position agains near-future ChatGPT based tools for working with data/databases?

I met Ed (randomly ran into him) at a Buhddist meditation retreat. Hi Ed, if you're reading. He was concerned with how time seems to go much faster as we age. When I found out he was ex President of Pixar and knew Jobs, I felt intimida

You guys are teaching Bing/Sydney how to argue endlessly and defensively. I'm teaching it how to comment on that to make it worse.

Interviews from the 70s with David Bohm about his cooncepts/theory of implicate and explicate order is much deeper and more sound than any TED talk about reality vs perception.

The dinosaur fossils are at least from 65M years ago! If there is evidence, we'd see it in the fossilized records. The 3M figure was for stone tools, which was unexpected, but still they showed up. Any evidence of the existence of an a

They just found stone tools from 3M years ago in Kenya, so I assume they can also find fosilized artifacts from that long ago. But the Wikipedia article says that's not likely. The claim that it is unlikely seems to be inconsistent wit

I meant to do a wire in the US you need to get USD out.

But Binance just stopped all USD withdrwals. Circle is the only other issuer and requires you being licensed in every state as an MSB, plus compliance. And the fact that there is nothing to it tecnologically speaking. The whole moat is in h

How can you do $1 per transfer if the off-ramps and crypto exchanges charge a percentage to withdraw to fiat? Unless you're using Circle which then requires you to be licensed in every state (unless their KYC failed) Something not addi

Are you licensed in every state in the US? if not, it's against regulations to operate a money movement business without licensing by every state where you operate. Secondly you need AML and other compliance.

What's the difference between Quic using UDP and SRT using UDP: https://www.haivision.com/products/srt-secure-reliable-trans... ? I understand from the other comment in this thread that Google is OK with building

I see. You're saying if they could build OS functions into the browser and not break compatibility with the outside world they would have done that, which means that they're vested in the idea that the browser is the new OS, or ca
78.
by pffft8888 4y ago
Yes, Quic still relies on UDP. So that's like many other non-TCP protocols that are built by vendors on top of UDP for all sorts of applications. It still uses the OS layer for UDP, which is what many other applications do.

But OpenGL is not part of the OS, or is it? (asking sincerely, no idea) I thought Vulcan is for Linux, Metal for Mac and Direct3D is for Windows. Quic still relies on UDP, just like many other non-TCP protocols that are built by vendors for

by pffft8888 4y ago
Browsers are using what the OS provides. I am not aware of any browser reimplementing Vulcan, DirectX or Metal, nor am I familiar with any browser reimplementing any feature of the underlying OS. It's just an application where you can

That's meta bias, not bias per se.
82.
by pffft8888 4y ago
I define bias as not treating all political and philosophical opinions equally. If one is picked over the others, that is bias. I saw this bias and made many records of it in case of ChatGPT.

@inimino I'm saying there is plenty of bias that is being enforced whether it's via dataset curation or RLHF or another way. ChatGPT has a very hard problem deviating from a certain political view of the world, despite admitting t

by pffft8888 4y ago
I was speaking in English and doing so concisely to convey the point about bias transfer. I don’t really care what you call it. I could have said RLHF and blacklisting sources or curating training dataset. I know bias when I see it and the

It's not about "Well behaved." All we're teaching it is our biases.

Wow. I was just about to code a key part of our startup's platform using workers and durable objects. I had zero idea that workers are intended for html output and that if they were used for JSON-RPC they would ban us if we are too suc
