    I've found it outstanding at isolated long running tasks (eg completed one of our tests in 3 hours and a 100% accuracy score versus 5.5 xhigh's 10 hours and 90% accuracy). For shor…

    Let's say you could follow and unfollow once a second and they knew it. Then you could replicate the dots and dashes by the length of time you toggled the status plus the gaps wher…

    It's worth checking who the author is... Cristian's not exactly new to the game. I think he's being humble he doesn't know something despite his experience.

    Thank you, that's very helpful. I think I could get close to that in some coding sessions where I'm running multiple in parallel but I suspect it's very very rare. Even with token …

    I'm thinking about switching to ChatGPT Pro also. Any idea what maxes it out before I need to pay via the API instead? For context I'm using about 1b tokens a month so likely simil…

    Same. 30m tokens in a few hours (of which many were cached it seems and only a few output tokens). I use Gemini to solve only specific problems and in my case $20+ was worth it.

    That's brilliant and even more absurd than mine!

    One of my favourite exchanges with Gemini saw it arguing with me that what I was asking of it was wrong. It culminated with it declaring (approximately) "I cannot in good faith con…

    Recommendation: add more info to the home page to describe what it does without requiring sound. To evaluate this in a work environment I'd have to use my headphones which is an ex…

    One of my first jobs (~1999) was as a research assistant working on seeing whether it's possible to make reentry vehicle heat shields from oak. Sadly, it wasn't.

    I used magic patterns for a couple of months and it was one of the first no brainer AI services I've paid for outside of the main LLMs and IDEs. It did such an amazing job on quite…

    Congrats on the launch. Another happy user here. (Caught a really sneaky issue too!)

    I've found an air fryer on dehydrate works well. The Ninja I use controls temp within a few degrees and will happily do so for hours at up to 80C (actual recorded 80C unlike my fil…

    This is great (in theory). During lockdown I got an ambisonic mic (Rode NF-SFW1) and used it to create Dolby Atmos experiences. The workflow - including sending it to Dolby's tool …

    R1 is the first model I've used that one-shotted a full JavaScript tetris with all the edge-case keyboard handling and scoring. It also one-shotted an AI snake game. With the right…

    The other thing is you'll need markers. At least in my experience. I think if you don't need precision photogrammetry and AI will get you the results way faster (To be clear I love…

    This is the kind of comment that can change a person's life. Really thoughtful. I'm going to quote it in future. Thanks.

    Good timing given computer use was just the other day jailbroken and "succeeded" in ordering an assassination via the dark web.

    I definitely recognize what you're saying and it's fantastic, but hiring managers and execs do indeed need to be active on this too. The channels to reach out to more diverse candi…

    I suspect you're right. But I've just last night finished Brave New World and what strikes me is production of children in that book almost entirely for the purpose of labour. So, …

    I wonder how the probability of securing such a job - with huge layoffs lately and increased competition - compares to the probability of business success. There's unemployed engin…

    This is the approach I use to get ChatGPT to generate images that get around copyright. E.g. Me: Create something in the style of Escher AI: Can't due to copyright Me: Precisely de…

    I love this and applaud it. It's also very timely: next week I have arriving a portable 3D scanner (an Einstar Vega) precisely because as a hobbyist sculptor the only way I can ana…
