Probably true but if you have several popular short stories done in a certain style or genre then it’s a good bet that a novel in the same will be more popular. They’re good practice too, the article mentions that a lot of the respondents h

Maybe they should be? I suggested short stories as a way to practice and test the waters since they would work well with social media and aggregator sites, people are willing to read a short story they find on reddit or hn but much less lik

Tangential, but do any authors apply the same techniques promoted by software developers for honing their craft? e.g. instead of trying to write the next great American novel you focus on writing a lot of short stories and then analyze them

Nobody’s going to make you :) Write code for the wise cracking door AI instead.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the demand for programmers. Jevon’s paradox has played out enough times that I’m sure as the cost of code goes to zero the demand will continue to increase. Look forward to the day that your toilet paper come

Bad metaphor and worse that you use it to inform your conclusion. If you must have one then use training wheels, experts don’t need training wheels beginners do, simple as that. Though the utility of LLMs goes much further as the author poi

What’s the FPS of human eyesight? How long did Timmy spend looking at Mario, more generally other cartoons and even more generally human forms? Do the math and you’ll find he’s got a pretty big training set as well, maybe not quite the same

Copyright is fucked. Even if Open AI somehow loses this and has to delete GPT4 and their training data, the generative AI cat is so far out of the bag that it’s gone on to live a full life and have many grandkittens. It’s already easy to in

The Tolkien estate should get busy suing all the fantasy writers, comic artists, game developers and board and card game companies. Lots of cash there.

Unlikely. You underestimate the compounding effect of weathering, oxidation, and the movement of the earth itself.

There’s a hell of a lot more holes from prairie dogs than there are from oil wells.

Once it cracks and water reaches the rebar won’t it be gone in less than 200 years? Or at least reduced to a smear of gravel and iron?

Stone blocks will be quarried, weathered, ground by glaciers and then subducted beneath the crust. Small artifacts disappear even faster and are harder to find.

Those are the least likely artifacts to last

Read the paper. The fossil record is very incomplete, only a handful of species are known from it compared to the abundance of variations that have ever existed. We have evidence of mass extinctions far greater than that caused by humans bu

Yes it’s much better now in all those areas, I think you’ll be surprised if your last experience was a few months ago. The difference in ability between 3.5 and 4 is significant.

Spears are easily parried and its really difficult to recover an attack posture afterwards since you need to quickly retreat the full length of the spear. Someone wielding a short one handed weapon has a major advantage because they can mov

Did you use gpt4? I asked it to give me some examples code for a dialog box with an input field and a button and it gave me this: use slint::slint; slint! { DialogBox := Window { width: 400px; height: 200px; titl

Considering they get most of their doomsday predictions from science fiction I’d say that would be a smart bet. Why get it second hand, just go right to the source.

I have a hard time having sympathy for a platform that ruined my suggested videos feed and then proceeds to put two unskippable ads plus a skippable one at the start of videos plus more ads in the middle and end. When uBlock stopped working
