Smartphone is required for everything there, yes. Signing up for services, authenticating yourself (e.g. when entering a train station), payment, social media, etc. Computers used …

I think the endgame is a shift toward a platform of services that tightly bind users to a single LLM provider. Right now, many small startups are essentially just thin wrappers aro…

According to Hiro's latest update on the matter, no. [1] https://x.com/hirox246/status/1912603340292448258

>Zelensky implied Russia would invade the U.S. Do you think that’s likely? He did not. What he did say is, that should Russia start to expand the war to other countries (as is very…

Honestly, Regex is not nearly as complicated as most people make it out to be. Read through the rules and then design some simple expressions.

I quite liked ReadEra. Scans your phone for all epubs, allows grouping and organizing them, but most importantly, has a good looking, customizable reading interface.

I think they are best at information extraction/classification tasks, especially for complex tasks with little to no training data, and data synthesis tasks. However, you should al…

Just talking about the software-side of things: I think they actually have been adding very neat features with the past few updates. Automatic image OCR, so you can copy/paste text…

Even you are still personifying the model. There is no motivation. An input sentence is multiplied by a series of weights and the resulting output vector transformed back into a te…

Most of the time I try it to use it, the website won't allow me to use the '+' in an email or will never send the verification mail to activate my account.

I mean, even here people regularly don't understand what ChatGPT is and what it can do. I wouldn't expect reddit to be any better.

Well, Chomsky already dismissed corpus based linguistics in the 90s and 2000s, because a corpus (large collection of text documents, e.g., newspaper, blog post, literature or every…

Due to upcoming EU regulations they most likely have to update their policy.

It's a language model trained to return the most likely answer given a specific prompt. The goal of the answer is, to simulate a conversation and to sound realistic. ChatGPT is not…

Is it really that much of a problem though? I own PC games that are close to 25 years old at this point and have problems installing and playing them on the PC I build two years ag…

I had a similar problem to you. While it was easy for me to complete assignments on Udemy or similar, I didn't develop a deep understanding of anything I am doing. What finally hel…

What do you normally use a search engine for? Sure, if it's just specific, factual questions, AI generators might become good alternatives for that in the coming years. However, cu…

There are sites like japanese.io, that allow you to copy/paste any text and get vocabulary lookup, furigana support, allow to add words to a flashcard deck and other things. I real…

You say that your semantic search works best with short texts? What exactly do you define as a short text? Just single sentences, paragraphes or even a couple of pages? Other than …

Any of the courses from the University of Helsinki [1]. They are free for everyone, have good explanations, and most importantly, great exercises to practice programming with an au…

It's good to keep in mind that games like League of Legends alone have over 100 million monthly players. While I agree that mobile is far bigger (especially thanks to Asian countri…

Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law. I usually take my prediction, multiply the time by 2 and add another 1/4…

The nice part about Germany is, that you don't pay any tuition fee there (except Baden-Württemberg). So doing a Master's there is a lot cheaper than in the US. As for CS, it is pos…

Btw, not having any sort of contact information (address and name of the business/person running the site) is illegal in the EU. And generally just highly unprofessional.

There has been a couple of studies on the topic that observed network traffic and never were able to found anything. So despite the persistence of the rumors, so far this remains a…
