But I can incentivize, hold accountable, and hire people I trust to be competent. I cannot incentivize, hold accountable, or higher better quality LLMs.

The incompatible library and overly expensive computer recommendations aside, CS is full of things "you literally never use". It's a theoretical discipline more akin to mathematics than anything else, and it certainly isn&#x2

AI Art is second-order human art. From this viewpoint it's still human by proxy. And anyway, is it measurably different from art produced while tripping on LSD or in similar states of altered consciousness, such as schizophrenia, demen

A similar local example of this is UHaulers moving in for their freshman semester in Boston destroying their truck and backing up traffic for hours by getting themselves onto a road with a low overpass. This overpass strips the roof of the

I use GPT-4 to assist in some programming, and it's useful. But I've been struggling to figure out where LLMs make sense as something integrated into a larger product. As an end-user, where I can directly ask them for something sp

This comment perplexes me. Do you think there is no research happening? In that view, what do you think disease research, anti-aging research, and medical/pharmacological research is? And do you suppose that there are a finite amount o

This is a very good article, written well for an audience that might not understand the details of memory layouts. Also, in the 0x0x11223344556677889900aabbccddeeff sample value they're using, what is this 0x0x format? Is this some som

This was the case for me yesterday as well, but as of an hour ago, using Mullvad (by way of Mozilla VPN), I am now blocked.

Yes, those are the the proximate causes. I'm worried about the effect these causes will induce going forward. With enough time, this expanded hypersensitivity will move out of TikTok and into wider culture permanently.

Something related I’ve been wondering about is the change in language catalyzed by social media companies and their morality / fear of advertisers. You see it especially in TikTok videos. When people aren’t straight up censoring themse

I'm conflicted on comments like that. On one hand, companies make mistakes otherwise they'd never lose in court, but they do from time to time. On the other hand, Vultr has their own lawyers, presumably higher paid and better arme

Indeed there are. There are many hills I’ll die on, and while this isn’t one of them, I do find it deeply uncomfortable to so clearly deny a whole category of citizens representation.

Yep, I understand the practical issues with my position. But I can’t ethically condone saying “you have no voice” to a fellow citizen, so I prefer no restrictions.

I have the opposite take you have. There should be no restriction on voting age at all. Everyone possesses the right to have a say in the direction of the government that governs them.

He was very strict, valuing correctness and rigidity, but entirely well meaning. It was never about showcasing superiority, nor was it ever nitpicking. Being in the spotlight though, it could certainly feel like an attack. And in some cases

It also adds a severe amount of visual clutter between the code. Individual preference I’m sure, but I’d prefer less comments, I think. Or maybe my IDE just needs to collapse comments inside functions automatically.

Some artists had very long chains, n >= 8 between them. But a lot of artists either never collaborate at all, or only collaborate with a specific group of people. Usually that group of people is a very niche sub-sub-genre of music, like

I had something similar once - it was a graph of connections between all the artists in my Spotify library to see who had collab'd with who. It was a lot of fun to see just how distantly connected two artists were through a long chain

You joke, but I think about this relatively often. There really is something cool about the aesthetic of using cigarettes. I also think about a related but opposite problem of helmets, for instance for bicycling, skateboarding, or snowboard

Other companies are no stranger to this phenomenon either. Warcraft Classic is Blizzard's, and arguably the MMO genre's most innovative game right now, and its 20 years old.
