Reddit didn't need to be heavily subsidized. Old Reddit was open source, had community-built apps, and could have been run indefinitely with a handful of employees and Reddit Gold. Like a Craigslist or Wikipedia model. Instead with the

What does this mean? What sort of "assets?" Why doesn't the site give you a preview of what you'll see when you sign up?

He could have just sent it to a few friends at those universities/companies. Nobody should take those sorts of 'trusted by' sections seriously anyway.

I've tried this and it took ~5 minutes to generate 10 seconds of studio on my 3080. That just doesn't work if you're trying to generate an hour long podcast.

What would happen if only bad actors had access to LLMs, deepfakes, and stable diffusion models? They could convincingly fake image/video evidence and accompanying online support for disinformation, and most people would buy it. But to

This is absurd. The GDP of the entire world is on the order of ~$100T. How can this article claim that 15% of all GDP is spent/lost due to PFAS without going through absurd calculations like how long it would take to remove every bit o

The tin foil hat in me thinks that Blackrock saw little startups taking over the burgeoning crypto market and decided they needed to be #1 there too. So they have their pals at the SEC create a regulatory nightmare that beats down the start

In my experience if you set the temperature to zero it works 99.9% of the time, and then you can just add retry logic for the remaining 0.1%

IIRC, there's a way to "force" LLMs to output proper JSON by adding some logic to the top token selection. I.e. in the randomness function (which OpenAI calls temperature) you'd never choose a next token that results in

The worst I've seen are subreddits focused around physical location like cities/colleges, you get a lot of what amounts to cyber-bullying of individuals (like students posting hateful memes of professors they don't like), and

Reddit should realistically charge for lost revenue rather than lost expenses. Instagram makes $50B annual revenue on 2 billion users, or around $25/user/year. I'm certain that Reddit is making nowhere near that per user, but

No matter how you look at it, Reddit leadership massively screwed this up. When half your site goes offline for two days and the entire front page is calling for the CEO's head, it's obvious that they have lost touch. And since th

However, unlike a Macbook, you could own a few external batteries and swap between them. You'll probably also see aftermarket batteries for this pretty quickly with even more power. I'm wondering if they're including a small

How do we know that Binance is "above board" when they have never published a GAAP audit and their auditors have taken down their "proof of reserves"?

People buy commodities like Oil to make a profit, too. The question is, what cryptos are commodities and which are securities?

Same experience here, I really wanted it to work but it often got stuck in errors or infinite loops. Hoping it'll improve in the next few months.

Remember the guy who asked ChatGPT to pretend to be a terminal, you could probably do something similar to mess with SSH intruders.

I have recently ventured into home-hosting some non-critical services and it's awesome. I can get 5Gbps residential internet and a dedicated IP through AT&T fiber, I have Solar+PowerWall for uninterrupted power... Once I got throug

I think the fallacy you're making is assuming all homeless have the same problems. There are definitely some homeless or near-homeless people where having a safe place to sleep, shower, and store their belongings will allow them to hol

Some evidence to support your decision: The CEO of Reddit hasn't posted or commented on Reddit in almost a year. Same goes with most of the decision-makers. They're not users of their own product.

In economics they call this rent seeking[1] > Rent-seeking is the act of growing one's existing wealth by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth. Rent-seeking activities have negative effects on

It became a lot more possible this year to start doing AI content moderation. It won't be perfect, of course, but human mods are probably worse. and yes, I've used content moderation AIs in the past (like Google's Perspective

Likely would have to be a depth camera. iPhone is in a good position to do this with the rear-facing Lidar and front facing IR projector, plus onboard secure element chips.

This is a pretty astute tactic. Because AI models operate on tokens and not characters, it's pretty easy to confuse them when you go down to the character level. Even asking "how many letters in _" is tough for LLMs.

Perhaps it is not racism that the bug exists, but failing to find, fix, or disable a feature that makes offensive classifications is racist.

My firm regularly does large B2B payments in USDC, for all manner of things. For us, it's more convenient than wire transfers because of lower cost (just a few dollars for gas), security (configurable approvals and MPC co-signers), ope

Ethereum was pretty successfully ASIC-resistant. Other PoW algorithms are GPU-resistant. Even so, I doubt most spammers are sophisticated enough to create ASICs just to make cheaper requests to this guy's service.

You could use a custom interface with your own system prompt where you tell it to refuse to talk about certain topics.
