Tinkerers can fine tune a model though. Unfortunately most fine tuning seems to be outmatched at the next iteration of the model.

I think the main problem aside from the side effects you listed is the fact that frequent injections sounds really inconvienent, and the cost is pretty prehibitive unless insurance is covering it.

"The "not good for" list is "practically everything." This line of debate is quite tiredsome. You don't see the advantages of crypto because you live a privlidged life with good banking, and thus don't se

Started playing with GPT3, and building services on top of it. I built what I believe is a compelling service (unfortunately if I monetize it, it'll probably be replaced by openAI easily)

The financial services aspect is something I'm also aware of. That's in a way what I want referring to when I said it has defi benefits. It's another example where the big guys have an advantage, but I think crypto can even

In practice, web3 has proven to be more open and composable than web2. I guess in theory web2 could start coordinating with each other. But it just doesn't seem to happen often. On the other hand web3 companies have shown to be extr

My design philosophy is to use the blockchain for the parts where it's a good solution, and to not use it for the parts where it's not. For physical products that means adding some trust into the system. For pure digital systems

Some people buy and hold inventory, but it's pretty common to do a process called "drop shipping" where you have a relationship with the manufacturer, and have them ship it to the customer. The benefit for them is YOU deal w

When I worked in a LARGE eCommerce company maybe 6 years ago, everything was driven by CSV files dropped in an FTP folder. There were a few exceptions where companies had API's. Still even those were GET requests initiated by us, and

A reply you got already mentioned zk functions, which is the best answer (cool tidbit, Avalanche's custom VM allows you to build these functions and anything else you want as precompiled code. More gas efficient.) My second reply woul

Every approach has risks, and the right approach depends on the person. I'd never reccomend self custody for my mother (actually I'd never reccomend crypto for my mother) but if you have the technical skills and are personally re

Elon receives a disproportionate amount of hate. Nobody is perfect, but people seem to dwell on his mistakes, and ignore his.... gigantic successes. I'm not sure I would have given anyone with $8 a blue checkmark. But i've also
