Silicon Valley has been auto-parodic morals-wise for a while. Hell, just the basics of you can have super violent gaming but woe-betide you look at anything sex related in the appstores is intensely comedic. America desperately tries to exp

I’ve just switched to using a big screen with laptop closed and a usb webcam. I’m now on my second webcam model (razer kiyo pro, after logi brio 500 was not good) and still people I call say my audio distorts after about 5 minutes. It’s so

IT DEPENDS. But for standard ecom/ops stuff (and this is heavily biased by the fact this is what I know and have deployed with low overhead): Big query. This is fed by an ETL pipeline of the stuff you need. dbt to ELT into useful, repo

Yes. This. People are insane around their kids and the de-risking etc. We've gone with a childminer (in-home childcare, but is govt. registered here in the UK) and local school-attached daycare for two days a week each. Saving us hundr

New Zealand and Ireland? You're wildly off. Both countries extremely expensive and hard to get by in.

They all left facebook for IG. Whatsapp doesn't monetise and basically can't.

Amen! The lack of decent errors from OpenAI is the most annoying. They'll silently return 400 with no explanation. Let's hope that doesn't catch on. OpenAI compatible just seems to mean 'you can format your prompt like t

For the chat models, they're all finetuned slightly differently in their prompt format - see Llama's. So having a conversion between the OAI api that everyone's used to now and the slightly inscrutable formats of models like

Meanwhile high earning millennials quit instagram because the product mostly sucks. Hell of a cathedral they’re building though.

Apple’s been doing this for a while with their separate GPUs and Neural Engines, no?

There’s a difference between academic discussion and debate and scare mongering lobbying. These orgs do the latter. It’s even worse though, because the spend so much time going on about x-risk bullshit they crowd out space for actual, valua

An extensive HYPOTHETICAL argument, stuffed with assumptions far beyond the capabilities of the technologies they're talking about for their own private ends.

In the article it sounds like he wanted it to sound and behave more like a concert hall. Interesting choice.

Has anyone successfully fine tuned it for function calling? Thinking could use a lightweight model like this to interpret args in a pipeline then format them for passing down the chain

everyone in my circle has drifted away from facebook and mostly just uses whatsapp groups to organise events.

Agree, I'm certainly not trying to minimise the effects of real addiction, but I do think for a lot of us it's more crutch than dependency.

This and the author's other post both remind me of tyler the creator's famous tweet about cyber bullying ( https://twitter.com/tylerthecreator/status/28567082226430771... ). We choose where we put our time

Not true. SF low code is great because the platform is closed. It saves a lot of time - up to a point of course, but it's a pretty complex point.

ChatGPT is like living in an information tunnel. It’s amazing but it doesn’t replace search for me at all. Irony is when it does search, because it’s obviously just doing a quick crawl it actually makes things worse as it treats whatever sh

China, maybe. But mafia state Russia??? Come on.

Partially, but China is also struggling and needs to export to offset the shitshow in the property market and slumping demand.

I think you're confusing the last few years for productive innovation. It wasn't. A whole bunch of valuable capital got pissed away because LPs were desperate for any gains they could get. The world is different now, gains have to

It doesn't mean that, it does mean there might be less time-wasting, over-funded startups wasting talent though.

The mediocre VC glut is almost worse than - and extremely symbiotic with - the mediocre startup glut. Good riddance to both.

Definitely worse - on paid. It’s just so fucking verbose instead of doing what it’s asked - despite setting base prompts to be concise etc. Every coding problem it writes me a tutorial instead of giving the solution. It’s infuriating and di
