Sushi and Ramen restaurants are both extremely popular outside of Japan, and often started by Japanese immigrants. Other Japanese food is less well-known.

I'm currently in a coastal American city, and all food is expensive here! You can have a casual lunch or dinner at a ramen shop, a Neapolitan pizzeria, a Thai restaurant, or an American burger spot and you will pay $25-30 per person af

> I would be pretty ruthless about disallowing all the slop-adjacent wording. I’d think that trying to play whack-a-mole with slop like that would result in a lengthy prompt, as well as being brittle to future changes. If you want the pr

Fair enough. I realized the issue with my comment as I was writing it, but posted anyway since I was curious to see if other people felt the same way.

Thanks, I’ll make sure to use the phrase correctly in the future.

I don’t know that the lack of information should lead you to assume that the Mexico lawsuits are justified. From what I’ve read, they’re contesting (among other things) the mandated black octagon on the front of packaging that says “exceso

Isn’t the answer to all of these “OpenAI” in this case??

Oh awesome, you're way ahead of me! The JSON downloads quickly and had all the info I needed.

One thing that would make this information even more useful and searchable would be a JSON dump of your dataset. You could serve it statically on S3 or similar, to keep hosting costs to a minimum. Of course, having created a cool thing gene

Thank you for this. I sorted the "technology" and "science" sections and saw a few excellent books that I've read and a few that I would really like to read. This motivates me to start setting aside "reading ti

Do Americans even believe that US policy is likely to steer development in a way that’s safe and beneficial for humanity? The rest of the world certainly doesn’t. The US currently seems to primarily use their superpower status to be the w

I don’t think any of these examples represent _successful_ opposition, though. Except maybe the warming center for homeless people? I can’t tell if it got built or not. These examples basically amount to “some people didn’t like this”, whic

I did some analysis on this, although I’m not a finance expert. If you put $100M of GPUs in a Virginia datacenter then you might pay $2M per year in local taxes over the 5 year life of the equipment. (I don’t think tech companies tend to pa

I call them “Chinese models” without vitriol. I think they’re great. Although it’s good to remember that all models have ideological biases inherited from their creators.

I don’t think anyone imagines that it’s an ironclad steering method, but it seems to help, so why not?

It’s a pro for you (the user), but I’m sure Disney (or whoever made this app) cares very very little about this, or treats it as a negative.

Yes, this is the answer. It’s easy to forget if you live in a tech bubble, but there are probably billions of smartphone users who don’t even know how to type a url into a browser and navigate to it. I’ve worked on projects where we ran thi

I don’t agree. Whether or not these girls had phones, or social media, was irrelevant in this case. And I’ve never heard anyone seriously argue that 16-year-olds shouldn’t have phones, or that 16-year-old girls are at fault when an old man

Not who you’re responding to, but I also don’t really think the article makes any kind of sensible argument that I can follow. Yes, it’s bad that a creepy drunk man used his phone to take pictures of teenage girls. Yes, it’s commendable tha

It’s also important to distinguish between an os thread and a userspace thread. The author said “thread” without qualification, so I don’t know which he meant. Userspace threads can be many times lighter than processes.

Yeah almost all code is just good enough to get the job done. Exceptions include (some) open-source codebases, a few key projects at leading tech companies, and probably the work of obscure geniuses at random companies that nobody else will
