Dear god no, I hope they don't bring this to my local post office on Hawai`i island. Nothing against EVs, but our local Post Office is way too small for the tens of thousands of residents it serves; the parking lot is nearly always f

This is super neat, and looks way easier to set up than a lava lamp wall.

The GP's post tracks with my recollection from the time. On the return leg of one of the very first trips to Maui three pickup trucks were found with beds full of lava rock, allegedly collected without permission or permits. This was t

Pro-tip: use `ChatGPT Classic` [0] from OpenAI to restore the quality you were used to before the update. The 'all-tools' version of ChatGPT uses a staggeringly-long system prompt [1], which seems to result in significantly lower

The speed is really impressive! I tried it with a moderately challenging task and it failed pretty spectacularly, hallucinating class methods and missing a bunch. It seemed like the UI struggled with my code too, breaking in and out of mark

This is just watermarking and only works with Imagen, not a general purpose synthetic image detector.

It's important to note the misleading paper purported to rule out the lab leak hypothesis. Calling it "COVID-19 lab leak paper" makes it sound to my ear like it's a paper affirming a lab leak origin, but it was the oppos

This sounded like GPT generated content to me, I ran it through a detector tool and the comment scored as 100% GPT-generated.

This post reads like a neoluddite AI-skeptic trashing someone for trying new things. Every CEO should be trying to automate human tasks with AI right now--not to fire all the humans, but to increase their efficiency. Good on your CEO for tr

From the OnStar microphones listening, the driver-facing cameras watching, and the always-on wifi broadcasting, the present state of the auto industry's offerings certainly have a whiff about them of a major intelligence operation dati

Call me cynical, but the ceo of a major defense contractor saying it’s going to take years of testing and R&D to refresh a circuit board design from the late 80s is just a cancerous grifter piggy squealing at the trough. You could crow

“Jip” is phonetically identical to a slur that refers to ripping someone off, so I was curious about what you meant and found this forum post that goes into detail. Kind of fascinating to think of the incentives and how they play out. Messa

Really impressive. The abstract claims sub 2 second generation times, but the youtube demo seems to show generations taking ~6 seconds. Not that I would complain about 6 second generations, my 12gb 3060 probably takes 3-4x as long running S

I think you must be right, I was paranoid I'd been excluded from the future, but it was likely just a glitch.
