Vision language models. Basically an LLM plus a vision encoder, so the LLM can look at stuff.

I'm pretty sure the person who wrote this has never run pricing research for a brand. Short answer, they can ignore Gabor-Granger because their cost base is so low compared to their revenue, so they'd be looking at Van Westendorp&

Currently using the Superdough and transpiler parts of Strudel as part of the game engine I'm making. God I wish it was better documented though.

I've spent the last three years building a game engine specifically to do this, and currently finishing the final draft for the game story I've created to go alongside it. Happy to share anything you'd find helpful. The big t

Welcome to what happens when everyone optimises for the same metrics, and looks at the same companies for inspiration as to what to do. At most of these corporations, over time they've learned to be product and financially oriented, be

A strategic error would imply he actually has a strategy. No-one doing anything in American government right now has a strategy. As long as he gets to play as much golf and watch as much TV as he likes, he doesn't seem to care much. I

Not mutually exclusive. "We're incredibly powerful and government is evil" and "we're absolutely going to use governmental power now we have it to fuck shit up that we don't like", is totally a position th

Not at all. I'm not saying we actually will simulate it, just that it's got the property of theoretical simulatability. Which means there's not anything magical going on under the hood. Which means consciousness isn't ma

The question is, what evidence is there that the most simple structures we can call brains are doing something which is fundamentally impossible to do with something other than a brain. Given that brains are fundamentally governed by the

What you really mean is is there any meaningful difference in what can be processed by biological computing and non-biological computing. The answer to that would appear to be, no.

Building two things ATM - first is an interactive fiction engine (almost done) and game with it (halfway there). Just wrapped pre-production on music and art, going into the studio to record final tracks later in the year. Launching end of

In the UK in particular, it makes more sense to think of things in terms of working class Vs middle class, rather than left Vs right. The working class used to be more left wing as a block, now it's more right wing as a block. Equally

You never have one except because everyone decides they do. The moment anyone with a modicum of power decides to say it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist.

Not yet. Keeping it fairly quiet until summer. Don't worry - I'll announce it here when it's ready for it.

Building an engine at the moment. 2 years in. Launching the game with it end of the year. Still a thing.

Light collection. You want to observe one point for a really long time so you get a really good understanding of where the light is coming from, the properties of that light, and its behavioural patterns. A lot of the detection is statistic

He means phlogiston. He's just inventing words to make it sound more interesting than it is.

Building a narrative interactive novel/RPG thing. Wrapping music composition this week, writing about half done, game engine built, art finishing around Christmas. Aiming to launch next summer, with various media.

I find it weird anyone is surprised by this. LLMs don't understand what they're doing at a fundamental level, so when you ask for a summary, you're asking for it to make something more concise. Which it will proceed to do, wi

To be clear, this is just the 5.2 SRD, not any of the core books. 5.1 SRD is currently creative commons too. What's more interesting to me is that they're going to review the older edition SRDs, with an aim to releasing those unde

This. People always underestimate how much noise rolling resistance of tyres plays in the sound profile of traffic. Electric cars are worse under 50mph, basically because they're heavier.

Distance and time are two of the fundamental constraints for how much delta-v you're going to need to move from point A to point B, with the third being how you control your velocity when you arrive. The other child comment and my answ

The problem with a Hohmann transfer orbit is that you rely on launch windows. You can only do it when the two planets are in a straight line from the sun (or more accurately, and the same equivalent points in each of their orbits at the sam
