Google and ChatGPT are both running LLMs on free user queries. If Google is doing it more profitably, it’s because they have a much more mature ad business, and/or they are running…

At least it would save you a keystroke every time, if it enables you to switch from cut+undo to copy.

Hmm, which of these is simple pattern matching? 1) refuting the Jacobian conjecture 2) keep repeating the same disproven statement, because your priors can’t be affected by new evi…

It depends on how long it takes to make the video. Most employed college kids are paid minimum wage or thereabouts. $100 is a day’s work.

Have you driven a Land Cruiser? They’re substantial better than the average pickup truck on most of the issues you listed. For example, the current F-150 crew cab which is the most…

Think of the planes as plates of spaghetti.

Same issue happens in models trained by organizations who aren’t selling tokens. I believe it’s because being parsimonious is simply harder. Achieving the task at hand independentl…

Churning is not about taking out debt and not paying it off. It’s about signing up for credit cards and spending money to earn rewards points, and paying off the balance soon to av…

The rent in Austin is 22% lower than it was 3 years ago.

Public housing isn’t actually free in the countries you listed. It’s subsidized, but the people who live there still have to pay. The affordable housing units in New York are also …

You’ve convinced me. I hope on the next iPhone, they make it so you have to put the MagSafe puck on the front where the screen is instead of that back where it is now.

I feel like I have to read this backwards to perhaps understand it. Is 2.9x the multiplier of Swiss GDP/capita vs the Western Europe average in 1940?
