In most cases that would indicate an organizational failure. However, if something is trillions of miles away, and wrong commands could break communication etc, I'd probably just s…

It can also be less

You discount people's blogs based on them having a non-western name? Maybe I've misunderstood your comment, but the domain is just their name.

To be clear, I'm talking about high word error rate with parakeet vs whisper, not post processing and cleaning up my speech. Re: being faithful to what was said, one small example,…

Parakeet is certainly faster on my machine (m3 max), but I can't stand using it over Whisper for dictating my prompts. It makes a lot more mistakes, possibly because (like you ment…

I get your point completely. I was (naively, I suppose) pretty surprised when I realized how low most people's threshold is to add a logo and claim a client/brand. I've seen VCs ve…

I've seen a lot of companies list logos if just a single engineer or team is using the product.

Physical machines can be confusing too :) When I was in Italy last summer, I couldn't figure out how to pay with my card at the machine in a small town, where you'd park to walk in…

It isn't ones duty to develop for everybody. If someone makes something for their own use case and shares it, that's fine.

I believe they just mean setting the model back to 4.5

And people have economic issues in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. People of all ethnicities all over the world steal. Plenty of immigrants work extremely…

People steal due to economic issues, not their ethnicity.

I could've made my comment more clear. Definitely missing a statement along the lines of "and then after creating, you click 'set up billing' and link the accounts in 15 seconds" I…

I don't understand the multiple posts / comments I've seen about this. I google `gemini API key` and the first result* is this docs page: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/api-…

During peak hours (4-9pm daily) in San Diego you can be paying nearly $1/kWh (generation + transmission cost) to SDGE, so at least in certain areas, the running cost is very much r…

Agreed. They accomplished a lot with distillation and optimization - but there's little reason to believe you don't also need foundational models to keep advancing. Otherwise won't…

You're arguing with me about points I haven't made.

I haven't made any claims about the recent sightings. Some have clearly been planes and people are just looking up more. My original point was and is that there are many laws restr…

1) there was a very public delay to shoot down anything even remotely above people. They just aren’t going to shoot something down over a city From the WSJ article I mentioned: “ F…

The military isn’t allowed to shoot down drones in the US. There was a WSJ story last month about drones flying over Langley for 2 weeks. All the general could do is stand on the r…

Fair :) I was overlooking that this latest computer could be an older intel machine that didn't receive the latest OS, thus won't still still have years of security only updates.

Why can't your dad keep using his existing computer? Sure, if you make your living on the computer the new laptops are great. But if he's just checking email, photos, etc - I don't…

Apple had good reasons for both transitions. In the scheme of 'forced upgrades' these are about as good as you're going to get. Also, if the OPs dad is using the computer for so li…

Yes, I'm not claiming that is true formal reasoning, but it is certainly more of a chain of thought than was previously being done and does indicate that some questions require mor…

the o1 model definitely has a somewhat big variance in how long the task takes depending on what you ask it to do
