I can trivially just print any AI image I want, then take a "verified" picture of it with my camera. That seems like a pretty large failure point.

The thinking goes: - any job that can be done on a computer is immediately outsourced to AI, since the AI is smarter and cheaper than humans - humanoid robots are built that are ch…

That OpenAI demo is available right now to subscribers; I have access to it

Ironically, it seems the article itself was written by AI

There's no good reason for BTC to be set up to use that much energy. There are viable, proven alternatives like proof of stake. I'd also be more forgiving if BTC only required a gi…

This is/could be a legitimate use of blockchain, e.g. see https://gwern.net/timestamping

Isn't that a bit of a cop-out though? They're just redefining the word "intelligence" to be something else (here, the ability to learn new things). That's fine and all, but that do…

It was a multi year effort mainly around 2015/16 but extended into 2018 IIRC

Genuine question: are the health risks really that bad? Plastic has been around for decades - surely also then these micro/nano plastics have been around for decades? I can't help …

This is either brilliantly absurd, or ridiculously stupid, depending on your POV

This is not a fair comparison - Tesla is comparing miles driven by their systems, which are inherently limited in scope to "easier" scenarios (only lane assist/only on highways/ect…

Yes, but transmission lines can only go so far, and you still lack the ability to arbitrage over time instead of just spatially. E.g. from a solar power POV, it's night everywhere …

> My gut feeling is that transmission lines would still be cheaper Transmission lines are great for moving electricity, but only if there's demand for that electricity _right now_.…

1. It's opinionated, so there's often only one way of doings things. Largely, the "one way" is a good way, so people appreciate the forced consistency 2. It's simple. It is very ea…

I've thought about doing this as well, but I haven't tried it yet. Are there any resources/blogs/information on various strategies on how to best chunk & embed arbitrary text?

Doesn't this completely miss the point? DCA is about reducing volatility, not maximizing return. Your expected value is higher without DCA, but it's not about the expected value - …

Yeah this isn't using goroutines at all? I don't see how this is a good comparison of goroutines vs coroutines.

It's not _quite_ the same: you can't call async code from a sync context (hence the color issue), but I can always pass a "context.Background()" or such as a context value if I don…

The proposed solution is to feed relevant data from a database of "ground truth facts" into the query (I'm assuming using the usual method of similarity search leveraging embedding…

This is slightly misleading - what matters isn't the peak G force experienced, but moreso the integral of force over time. In a roller coaster you might experience 5Gs, but only fo…

I think it's more like: with the original GPT 3 model, it's easy to summon _any_ ego. With ChatGPT, you can either summon a) the intended Luigi or b) the unintended Waluigi, but tr…

As the article states, the idea is that this would be faster than ships, as well as operational in areas without large bodies of water.

Yes, but if you have many fat tailed distributions, increasing the sample size makes it increasingly less likely that it's _the same person at the end each time_

Going to second Carcassonne, and say that one thing I really like about the game is that's almost purely contextless, in that it doesn't require you to hold long-term strategy/idea…

Probably left it running? I've definitely left my factory to idle to build up resources while I'm gone, when I'm playing on peaceful mode. You could also run headless version of th…
