Not sure if the winky-face was sarcasm, but in case not, dropbox collects lots of telemetry https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Integrations/Why-So-Much-Tel...

This seems likely lower than their costs. Is there a breakdown somewhere?

Yeah obviously the US is huge and there’s plenty of nature to be found, but somehow we’ve just forgotten to integrate that into our communities and walkable areas completely.

In this case there’s nothing specific to humans that make us uniquely capable of completing an information task. It’s not like we’re talking about creating great art or something. There doesn’t have to be intent behind completing a spec in

My guess is a leapfrog would have more to do with how LLMs are integrated into an operating system, rather than just coming out with a better model. I don’t think we’re gonna get a substantially more capable LLM than GPT-4 anytime soon, but

If your manager can assign you a Jira task with a 3 sentence description and get a reasonable result, what makes you think they can’t have the same interaction with an AI? Sure, it won’t be ChatGPT, it’ll be something else, but same thing.

But there's also the sprinklers that go off every minute to keep the grass looking healthy so no one can sit on it. Or the grass is part of the baseball field. Plenty of good parks in the US for hanging out but wayyy more bad ones wher

Maybe it’s just me but I quite like the community that’s built up around most makerspaces. People helping each other out, giving classes, showing off their projects. Seems absolutely worth the occasional misplaced tool.

Not even redneck. Basically anywhere without public transit/uber people will get fairly drunk and drive.

I feel like parks in most of the U.S. are dominated by activities. Sports, jungle gyms, etc. Often times there’s not a great place to just sit down and socialize.

We're not going to get a 200 IQ model by simply scaling up the current model, even with all the datacenters in the world running 24/7

Also you could likely use GPT3.5 for this and still get near perfect results.

by yunwal 4y ago
But we're still nowhere near that, or even near surpassing the skill of an average person at a moderately complex information task, and GPT-4 supposedly took hundreds of millions to train. It also costs a decent amount more to run infe

AWS’s market position is deteriorating rapidly. They’re now at just over 30% of market share compared to 50% in 2018. Meanwhile the trend right now is big companies pulling their core infra out of the cloud and into their own datacenters. T

I’m not sure how making a bomb out of liquids works, but could you not just freeze all the necessary liquids and then hit them with the hand dryer in the bathroom?

It’s a fair argument but ultimately not one I subscribe to. Time and time again global charities become vehicles for corruption, exploitation, and power-seeking [0]. They become critical infrastructure replacing things that should be provid

The second thing is that even if students magically guessed that the line can grow after the government offers coffee, the answer is still wrong (or at least, makes unreasonable assumptions). The line will grow until the last person in line

If anything McKinsey has a lot to gain from exaggerating the numbers so more companies come to them for AI solutions or whatever their next consulting product is.

In my experience, charity reviews are great for telling you if a charity is outright fraudulent, but not great at evaluating effectiveness. The best thing to do is either become involved with a local charity and evaluate for yourself, or do

> to escape the privacy issue Genuine question, do you not use GitHub for things other than copilot? It seems to me either the privacy issues of copilot are overblown or the privacy issues of GitHub itself are underblown, because they bo

Infra as code is really where copilot shines. GPT/codex isn’t great as a state machine, but it’s great for solving the “what’s that variable called?” or “how’s that yaml supposed to be structured?” problems. I think the architect and i

Most of these are either management issues or written as if the person is acting in bad faith. But there are plenty of engineers who are 1) smart 2) driven, and 3) well-meaning that still find themselves in this position One time I found my
