"Similar" is doing substantial work. If this is your only clue, it is likely to mislead you for at least 50% of the game, and I strongly suspect you will have fun anyway :)

Outer Wilds, the video game, does a brilliant job expanding on this theme if you're hungry for more. "There's more to explore here." Warning: progression is gated behind knowledge …

Outer Wilds vibes! I love it! (It's a video game that does a brilliant job touching on similar themes to The Last Question. If you liked The Last Question and can fit a video game …

It is, but he got the macroeconomics backwards so enjoying it on an aesthetic level rather than a mechanical level is still the right choice.

The internet itself went through a similar growth pattern without astroturf. The original users were all researchers, which served as a strong implicit filter, and then the new use…

No, that was 4o. Agreed about factual prompts showing less sycophancy in general. Less-factual prompts give it much more of an opening to produce flattery, of course, and since the…

Yeah, the heavily distilled models are very bad with hallucinations. I think they use them to cover for decreased capacity. A 1B model will happily attempt the same complex coding …

ChatGPT opened with a "Nope" the other day. I'm so proud of it. https://chatgpt.com/share/6896258f-2cac-800c-b235-c433648bf4...

Good point. Still, I have to imagine that the engines themselves are dual use in some regard. GNSS or spy satellites maybe? These days it seems like everyone and their dog has a GN…

Yes. The idea was to keep the engines (and engineers) out of the hands of the other likely buyers. You've seen how soviet military surplus gets around: the same channels work for r…

Offices revalued due to increase in WfH? Those dastardly Democrats must be at it again!

If it were 400BCE they'd blame writing this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the ex…

Academics? Almost all of the free speech complaints I see these days come from the right, from people who would feel insulted if you called them an academic.

The feature lag wasn't the problem, the bugs were the problem: the only reliable OpenCL implementation was the one from Nvidia, but this meant it tended to drive people towards Nvi…

She turned the company around and got it on the right path, but in interviews I get the feeling that she might also be responsible for the "Hardware 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... eh, mayb…

They can absolutely be recycled, lol.

Sounds like a big step back from the car charges at home and is "always full" without ever "filling up", except on roadtrips, where it schedules periodic rest stops.

Nobody cares about preachy commercials, except in that doing the opposite of what they preach makes you edgy and cool. A big celeb getting caught doing something gauche and getting…

It should be. "Allowed in the US" is a bar so low that you can get oil out the end of it.

Oh no. Ohhhh nooooo. No, no, no! Xilinx dev tools are awful. They are the ones who had Windows XP as the only supported dev environment for a product with guaranteed shipments thro…
