    I noticed this interesting fact during my secondary school education. Additionally you can use this to prove that e is the point where a change in the exponent causes a larger resu…

    Interesting. Who are paying these people? I'm not aware of any software products based on ChatGPT&co

    Unverified and unsupported sweeping statement

    QOI caused a huge burst in interest for image formats. Audio is a little harder to work with and understanding so I can imagine less impact for QOA (still good though). What I'm re…

    Maybe by asking the AI to be concise they're reducing the server load? It has been running awfully slow recently, probably due to a surge in mainstream awareness.

    Three is widely considered the worst mobile network in the UK. I think they have won #1 worst network for years in a row.

    Wouldn't it be better to save the publication datetime as a Unix timestamp, then convert it based on the reader's timezone?

    In their examples section they mention how a double agent was charged with tax evasion based on $2m of undeclared income from bribes. But if the agent WERE to mention the income on…

    The performance hit is quite unacceptable in games such as CSGO. I cannot really think of any competitive game where the performance hit is justifiable.

    It does seem possible, e.g. rather than sending an uppercase alphabetic message as 8-bit ASCII bytes, you can send their position in the alphabet instead, so 01000001 becomes 00001…

    Oft reposted, usually engenders an interesting discussion about MVPs though so I enjoy reading the comments everytime

    After reading this, it seems clear (for most users) that the paid REST api for GPT-3 is a good deal.

    I've always imagined that voxels are the pixel art of the 3D world. Much easier to create from both an aesthetic and development point of view. Hard discrete edges that fall along …

    Money laundering? Fundamental incompetence? Pick any reason honestly, they all make the same amount of sense. I've never understood why Mozilla bought Pocket.

    These free-speech reddit clones always seem to descend to far-right Nazism. Maybe you have to ban all political discussion to survive as a reddit clone on the modern internet.

    He's well known in certain areas (Debian, Hypervisors)[0] I worked with the author a few times while he was at Citrix. Always struck me as extremely clever and pragmatic, I think T…

    Yeah honestly this blog post just seems to be highlighting a bug in gcc when it is compiling to an older version of C. Not sure why the author chose to frame it as some big point a…

    I tried: "When is the first full moon after October the 18th 2021?" It should have said the 20th of October but it said: "November the 19th 2021". Big AI models have quite a way to…

    Clients should really be using something like exponential backoff ethernet-style.

    I'd say "right-wing dystopia" is putting it too strongly. The USA is definitely further right than the UK, but the main perception I'd say is that the politics in the USA are toxic…

    This is an interesting project, I made a somewhat similar NN to C "compiler" but that was for feedforward networks only. Could this in theory be extended to support models saved in…
