What are you even talking about, why would anyone be building chatbots at this point? Chatbots are like the hello world of using an LLM API, it has nothing to do with what this article is about.

I don't think I've seen that before. But the article you linked doesn't make the conclusion you suggest at all, instead they pose a corrected value. If indeed no one estimating had no information at all, the average length of

Running prediction markets is probably more free money than that. Building and maintaining research teams like that is not easy or cheap, if it would be then Good Judgment Inc. would be rolling in cash. Edit for context: Good Judgement Inc.

You assume all the people betting are enthusiasts. The theory of prediction markets is that rational actors in the market will recognise that a portion of the betters is overhyped and adjust their bets to make use of their irrational beha

They're producing the wisdom of the crowd, which is a real and highly accurate piece of information. It's quite difficult and expensive to produce information as fast and reliable by other means. And they don't cost much, it&

Not to take away from your point, but there is a better way than prediction markets, and that's careful objective research by non-experts ( https://goodjudgment.com/ ). It's been shown that teams of such researchers

The blade is usually manufactured as a single fiberglass piece. With how big this thing is I imagine it's manufactured somewhere directly at the shore, and just lifted onto a boat directly from the factory. The base is segments (shaped

Yeah I agree, I guess it should have been up to whoever packages Docker for Ubuntu to make sure it plays nice with the standard Ubuntu tooling. Given how Docker forward Ubuntu itself is, it probably should have made UFW aware of Docker. Btw

GP is being annoying and I agree with you for the most part and I feel Docker should have tried to play nicer with the firewall. That said it is a mistake to consider Docker in the same class as nginx. Docker is a system for telling the Lin

If tarsnap has even a modicum of popularity, thanks to these prices it would be bringing in bank. If he's making bank, that means he's providing value (even if it's just to "uninformed"). And it seems this system mo

Is there a connector/crimp tool set that's recommended for hobbyists? I make just a couple devices per year in a year where I'm actively pursuing the hobby. Mostly audio, some home automation and on the fence if I should dive

Is there an alternative explanation possible for the video? Couldn't it just be a magnetized piece of ferrite that is magnetized in a weird way causing it to lift up like that on a strong magnet?

To try and understand it I just skipped through this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d4NAEPZrbg To a layman like me, the most interesting bits start at: 6:14 and 37:36. If you're interested in the materials (

I would think so, it's honestly strange to think about. The idea of having the node come back after it broke is a bit ridiculous to me. A node breaks, you delete it from your interface and provision a new one, the idea of even waiting

Haha, imagine what the AWS status page would look like if they had to update their global status page anytime a single host would go down in any region. Fly.io messed up, they didn't want to be a Heroku clone, but their marketing and t

I think you're not exposed enough to the reality of hardware. There was no need for the host to come back online at all. I think it was a mistake of Fly.io to even attempt to do it. Just say tell the customer the host was lost and offe

We had a customer once that our automatic billing system tried to reach for 3 months about failing credit card charges (<$5k/mo). Our system stopped the service.. I'm pretty sure their subsequent outage cost their customers mil

Try filing a bug with any of the big three cloud vendors when you're on their free plan. It's really not different, the thing that is going to get you fired is not realizing you're not paying a couple hundred bucks per month

No restrictions, but they offered no way of getting home either. My colleague had the same problem when she wanted to visit her dying grandfather in Japan. They weren't letting sick people in even if they did manage to get on a flight.

The line of sight does not need to be direct, light can bounce and still retain enough brightness to communicate. Which is also how 5ghz wifi works because 5ghz wifi also has trouble with going through objects like walls.
