Not just battery and range. I've had problems with the passenger side airbag not enabling, and turn signal not working. Both scary issues. Made appointments with the support. Both were cancelled outright by them (!). They tried to conv

I was once a naive man. I used to listen to someone talk, and feel super "connected" with them. I would be convince beyond any doubt, that they were so brilliant, benevolent and genuine. It was Sam Altman that taught me that it do

This is all public information. Why hasn't the market reacted? EDIT: I was convinced what you said (or similar) was true and missed the better part of last year's gain. Going forward I will be very careful when people confidently

If you are like me and confused about how pre-registering doesn't cost anything but downloading could be triggered automatically on the launch day: the app is free.

All I really want to know is did Zuck reserve his username, or did he try to sign up like the rest of us.

The editing can be checked. Basically the verifier is given the input hash, the editing function (e.g. remove noise) and the output. By using zk-snark the verifier can be convinced that yes indeed the output is the result of editing the inp

That's true. However the solution solves both problems. If I can delete my post by invalidating the proof, then no one can "undelete" it.

I said this elsewhere which is relevant: I firmly believe that in the future, what you say doesn't matter. What matters is what you can prove you've said. What's the difference between the following two? (a) You say something

There's a saying, if you don't believe in VR, you haven't played Half Life: Alyx. Joking aside, I do think gaming is important to bootstrap VR. Once it's cheap enough and many people have it, it will be much easier to bu

My suggestion: Sometimes you just have to accept that there exists a vastly different perspective that you'll never understand. If you really want to try, go read all they have to say. There's no shortage of that here. If your goa

Why is it bonkers though? In a complete free market, everybody does whatever they want and as a result you get the best deal on your insurance premium.

Ironically, this is why we need crypto.

This reminds me of those "biggest X since Y" headlines. No matter how insignificant the event, you can always write a clickbait-y title.

How does it compare to ledger-cli? I've been using ledger for a long time, but heard good things about beancount and hledger.

Example: I want to buy some construction material that I've seen somewhere. I don't know what to search for since I don't know the term. Prior to LLM, the only way was to ask someone familiar with it, e.g. a plumber. Now I ca

No offense but you are almost certainly using it wrong. Consider the following: 1. Use it when you know how to do something but don't want to. 2. Use it when you don't know something, and don't know how to find the answer.

I'm not really concerned. More likely, we are currently experiencing a calibration phase for a new technology, during which individuals are attempting to gauge others' understanding and interest in it. Right now, everybody is shou

I look forward to a future where almost all software would allow me to plug in an LLM API: - browser: ad removal/skipping - RSS: information aggregation - recommendation systems - games: customized NPC scripts; AI opponents - home auto

I did switch away from Google mostly, and I've been pretty happy. Here's a query I just did with GPT-4 that I wouldn't have imagined doing a few months ago: > Show me the top VR games with the teleportation movement option

> The robbery was quick, quiet, and clean, and netted more than 2.2 trillion ISK—that's $22,300 in real money. If you mean to compare the monetary gains of these exploits, 22k is nothing in crypto even in this bear market.

I have a theory about this. All these LLMs are trained on mostly written texts. That's only a tiny part of our brain's output. There are other things as important, if not more, for learning how to think. Things that no one has eve

I'm actually a little sad. I desperately want better VR. Hate to see one fewer player in the space.
