    I’d say two big differences are 1) human vs machine (especially when you get to the scale of something like Delta airlines) and 2) you have a lot more power in the negotiations you…

    This is an interesting way to think about it. I would argue that flat pricing wasn’t for efficiency but “fairness”. And also point out that AI driven price discrimination isn’t any…

    Curious about the 100 pushups program app — do you have a particular one you like that you can share? Edit: Followed the github issue and found the link!

    A lot of apps allow you to AirPlay to multiple devices at once — would be neat to put this on a bunch of iphones to simultaneously play music

    I think the biggest hurdle would be complying with the TOS. Imagine that OpenAI etc would not be a fan of sharing quotas across individuals in this way

    Anecdotally, I completely agree that consumption of media has shifted since the pandemic and could reasonable explain this gap

    In a sense, the macro trend is irrelevant and mainly used as a talking point by the media. Individuals experience the world from an individual level — it is easy to go along with a…

    Something to consider is that it really could take 20+ years to train like a brain. But once you’ve trained it, you can replicate at ~0 cost, unlike a brain.

    Maybe not “immediate” but withholding rewards results in fewer researchers participating in bounty programs which defeats the purpose.

    Okay that makes sense. Agreed, wouldn’t quite consider that “supporting” as far as I’m concerned.

    I’m confused by how pushing to new branches would work on GitHub (or is the point that it doesn’t…)? Are you able to change the branch of a PR from `v1` to `v2` without making a ne…

    This tool looks great! I’ve been using difftastic lately, which does a fairly good job but struggles with big json files. One feature I’ve yet to see is applying jq query syntax to…

    We don’t know the counter factual here… maybe if he called it “Unsafe Superintelligence Inc” they would have raised 5x! (though I have doubts about that)

    I appreciate being able to quickly skim an article rather than watch a video - especially when in public without headphones!

    Gary Marcus has been a firm advocate that GPT-5 is failing for a while now, based simply on the fact of them not having released it yet. If/when OpenAI releases it, looking forward…

    Yes there is an `—-override` option you can use to specify the language in which a file should be parsed. https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/blob/master/CHANGELOG....

    Maybe their work has a policy against it, but surprising they never used their phone to take a photo either!

    Agreed — isn’t the problem that nothing was actually being set aside for the insurance fund, not that the amount being set aside was based on a random number?

    If a banana costs ~60¢ (depending where you get it!) and GPT-4 is 6¢ per 1k tokens… you’re better off using a monkey for everything > 10k tokens!
