I hardly use Google search anymore in favor of ChatGPT. It's surely an existential threat. Google has a lot of layers of defense in Android, Chrome, Gmail/Accounts, and a stranglehold on internet ads. But at the center of that is

That is probably true but I also think it's unfair to blame the pilot. This was a last minute flight to a small airport for a medevac. It's easy to say that as pilot it's ultimately their responsibility to make a safe fligh

More than one thing can be true. Flying into the side of a mountain is an error by the pilot (obviously). It can also be true that if GPS wasn't being jammed it wouldn't have happened.

No, it's not necessarily true but it is a well trod path.

It says "they've entirely derisked capital" and now ~6 months later they raised twice as much. Lying is a strong word but that post clearly wasn't accurate at the time. They've raised a lot of money and there will

I needed a website and did the same. I would say it's a mixed bag to do it from the command line codex. It nailed generating the code but lots of stuff was annoyingly off. Any copy it wrote was terrible but using it to expand and ref

>This is also a datacenter. I imagine just about everyone living nearby knows its a datacenter. https://maps.app.goo.gl/wR4NgcWQVhJAy5Gy6 That's not much bigger than the two warehouses next to it.

Inference is profitable and demand can't be met. They might eventually overshoot the mark but it hasn't happened yet and doesn't appear to be on the horizon.

They aren't economical in the general sense. They are economical to provide frequency stabilization, grid efficiency, and maybe a few hours of demand shifting. They're not yet economical to store solar power during the day and d

Not nearly big enough for data centers approaching 1 GW. Largest is 3 GWH which gets you 3ish hours. Theoretically you can put as many batteries together but it'd be enormously expensive and run into the same supply chain issues.

Half the time you get 0 solar power.

I think you'd be better off getting 1% of a $40,000 card. Or maybe 10% of a $4,000 card is more realistic. I think that's the problem at the moment. A much better LLM that doesn't use my battery is 20ms and <10mb of data

They won't have the years of chat history to customize the vacation.

ChatGPT is synonymous with non technical/work related LLMs. They're amassing a ton of user history. That history improves the product for the user because it has more context into the person. They can feed it back into model im

I think this is off. LLMs are severely constrained by hardware and we've seen at least an order of magnitude improvement in flops since ChatGPT launched. Over the next couple of decades we are likely to see that level of improvement

The first prototype of a cellphone was functional in the early 70s. Before that you had walkie talkies and farther back wireless communications. We're just shy of 10 years since attention is all you need and just a few years past the

This isn't accurate. The first mobile phone came out in 1983. It took at least a decade before they started to become common.

You start by fixing the problem of people sleeping on benches and in tents. Then you go to those in cars, then those crashing on a couch, then those living 8 to a house, then families with small places, and so on. What the problem is keep

It's not quite that black and white. You have fixed amount of policing resources and it goes to the most impactful crimes. If crime goes down then they start caring about petty stuff. If it goes back up then they stop. This applies

Ticketmaster sure but back in the day I could get tickets for a song on stubhub. That seems to be a relic of the past and the resale ticket marketplace is barely less than face value.

It's a bit of an interesting Chesterton's fence. For most of human history your job is whatever your dad's job was (with a large degree of hand waving). It makes sense because there's at least some genetic disposition

This is even worse for gas. Most months I pay more in sales tax on the fees than I do for the gas.

Cameras do address that problem. We live in a country where people go to jail for life because two witnesses they swear they saw pookie shoot dee dee. Where cops beat the hell out of citizens and say they were resisting arrest. That Pooki
