I don’t have any specific inside knowledge about Amazon, but I would hazard a guess that the first approach also provides better training material for the LLM.

Can anyone recommend documentaries about pre-Triassic life? I’ve seen the “Ancient Earth” short-form series, and keep up with PBS’s “Eons” on YouTube, but I still feel like this is…

Yep - same story here with Nuke (the old one, but then it happened again on the new one too). Got to global and it was a ghost town save for the same 5 man we ran into every night.…

Interesting that you call out his lack of data/sources, assert he is wrong, and don’t provide any sources of your own. It seems like zip code is a good indicator of public educatio…

there isn’t an easy answer, as it’s always going to be dependent on the source you’re encoding from. That said, in my experience anything higher than CRF 25 on AV1 is noticeably co…

while the lectures in they were encoding would definitely look fine with these settings, I have to question your baseline for quality if you’re watching full Hollywood movies encod…

With respect, they said pollution is the icky part. I’m not aware of any major industries that are responsible for an appreciable amount of CO2 emissions and no other pollutants/ic…

why isn’t that an accomplishment? who are you to decide what other people get validation from?

i’m sorry, i just don’t understand what you’re trying to say. you’re happy that the leading AI firm is full of shit despite promises to the opposite? what makes you happy about tha…

“So long and thanks for all the yachts”

He wasn’t trying to convey the story you wanted him to convey so it’s poor filmmaking? I’m not sure I understand your position. He’s a bad filmmaker because you preferred the book’…

Are you asking how a middleman is different than a consultant firm controlling the industry via proxy?

Would you expect the PR to cater to, and speak extensively about third party hardware?

If most/all of the major players used the same consulting firm, wouldn’t that be a conflict of interest that borders on - perhaps even is outright - breaking the law?

personally, i’d love this, as long as i know everything is staying local and not being sold/shared for a profit. i regularly find myself thinking things like “what movie was i talk…

music lovers!

This makes me sad HBO cancelled Raised by Wolves

I find this varies from person to person. I have nothing to back this up, but I have a hunch it is a genetic thing, like how cilantro tastes like soap to some but not to others. I …

Would having an open bidding process preclude the use of .gov TLD? Why couldn’t the highest bidder handle the payment and processing at e.g. tolls.gov?

I’m still not sure what you mean in regards to the quality of streaming content. I’m not even sure whether you mean “quality” in terms of bitrate/picture clarity or “quality” in te…

I think they mean that a bag of tobacco doesn’t make the room smell like an ashtray, but a bag of weed is excessively pungent even when wrapped and stashed.

Can you explain a bit more how removing licensing procedures for the “DVD” logo has any connection to the quality of streaming?

The pricing restriction is only for selling steam keys on external services. So if your game is priced at $15 on steam, you can’t sell steam keys on the Humble Bundle store for $12…
