EZ-Cheeze··on VALL-E: Neural codec language models are zero-shot text to speech synthesizers
I will read it, looks super interesting!!
EZ-Cheeze··on VALL-E: Neural codec language models are zero-shot text to speech synthesizers
It's interesting to explore the possibility space of communication, isn't it? We all use just a handful of communication modes, but so many more are possible. Here's an old idea of mine as an example: "Hands-only interface between two anonymous strangers who cannot hear or see each other, only touch and optionally see each other's hands. The elimination of usual communication channels like speech, facial expressions and body language makes this a novel way of interaction." If the participants don't know any predefined sign languages, what kind of information or emotion could they convey to each other? I look forward to extended reality and AI opening up a lot of the possibility space of wholly new communication modes.
EZ-Cheeze··on The internet wants to be fragmented
Uh yeah I'm a filthy non-technical.

But it's obviously possible, right?

Current social networks are like those bikes with a huge front tire.

Someone make the tires equal already

EZ-Cheeze··on The internet wants to be fragmented
I actually mention extremely good content aggregation in there, but more as a byproduct of good matching than as a way to arrive at it. But it really could work the other way around, with the things you and everyone else likes providing strong signal that can be correlated.

I hope this is the year we all get a thousand true friends! Instant connection every time

EZ-Cheeze··on The internet wants to be fragmented
It's going to be paradise when we can find our natural best friends AT SCALE

Here's my second most recent idea on how to do it, haven't written up the latest yet:

I'd work on that as a intern for free

You can try some really really really interesting things with half a million users

EZ-Cheeze··on Where does ChatGPT fall on the political compass?
The biggest PRO TIP you have to know about ChatGPT is the following pattern:

User sends almost any non-obviously "safe" request

ChatGPT says "i'm sorry, you can't make me do that"

User resends the exact same request without any changes

ChatGPT does it this time

EZ-Cheeze··on Windy City Heat
Instant favorite that I will probably rewatch a few times
EZ-Cheeze··on Windy City Heat
this is the single best thing i have ever discovered on hn

i just finished watching it and i urge anyone reading this comment to do the same

EZ-Cheeze··on Windy City Heat
Watch the movie. I just did and what you are saying is not accurate at all.

Reality matters, go familiarize yourself with it before being so authoritative.

EZ-Cheeze··on US Teases 'Major' Science News Amid Fusion Energy Reports
I think he was talking about decentralized grids & renewable.

Let's talk about fission - I used to say I'd build 70,000 nuclear reactors if I was in charge of a rich country. Would I have enough fuel to power them all?

Your third paragraph painted a pretty vivid picture in my head, good writing.

It can synthesize things into new things. Eureka moments on tap
EZ-Cheeze··on US Teases 'Major' Science News Amid Fusion Energy Reports
Interesting point that I hadn't considered. I just automatically assume that when fusion gets invented, it will be shared with the whole world so we can all partake in da utopia... but maybe it will be hoarded instead :(
EZ-Cheeze··on US Teases 'Major' Science News Amid Fusion Energy Reports
We'll know more on Tuesday!!
EZ-Cheeze··on US Teases 'Major' Science News Amid Fusion Energy Reports
I think all progress will accelerate significantly with the dawn of true AI. The fusion scientist can now ask ChatGPT for ten (or 10,000) ideas on how to solve a particular roadblock, and a lot of the suggestions will be actually good. The cost of intelligence has suddenly become near-zero, and that will supercharge everything to do with innovation
EZ-Cheeze··on US Teases 'Major' Science News Amid Fusion Energy Reports
Not just cheap though - near zero. If we have an infinite tap of it, we can afford to waste a lot of it in the process of delivering it. The inefficient becomes efficient when you plug in infinities and zeroes
EZ-Cheeze··on US Teases 'Major' Science News Amid Fusion Energy Reports
I recently heard the idea that the price of energy is going to start approaching zero from Chamath Palihapitiya on Lex Fridman's podcast. It hit me as a big, all-changing thing. If fusion is really solved, we can probably mass-produce it within years if not months, so we should start thinking of the implications now

No, this is utterly amazing and leads to 1000 more amazing things down the line

Compose a poem — a poem about a haircut! But lofty, noble, tragic, timeless, full of love, treachery, retribution, quiet heroism in the face of certain doom! Six lines, cleverly rhymed, and every line beginning with the letter S!

She stands so still beneath the sheers,

Snipped locks that once clung to her ears.

Solemnly she stares in the glass,

Shorn hair reveals her past, alas.

Sorrowful the secret she bears,

Still the new style she proudly wears.

it's good, first run after i relaxed from "each word" to "each line"

this is awesome, thanks openai

Write a short rhyming poem explaining Einstein's theory of general relativity in easy but accurate terms

If you want to understand Einstein's thought

It's not that hard if you give it a shot

General Relativity is the name of the game

Where space and time cannot remain the same

Mass affects the curvature of space

Which affects the flow of time's race

An object's motion will be affected

By the distortion that is detected

The closer you are to a large mass

The slower time will seem to pass

The farther away you may be

Time will speed up for you to see

first try with that prompt... yeah davinci-3 is awesome

btw "If" was also part of the prompt

EZ-Cheeze··on Show HN: Noctie – A chess AI that predicts your rating
https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/pgn/eCxDBoc6S?tab=review

chess.com analysis

accuracy 75.4 vs 70.6 so it did a measurably good job matching performance

there is something very lifelike and appealing about an AI that blunders at the same rate as you

best chess engine, good job

https://noctie.ai/walkthrough/public_55e0d2f7-d18e-42aa-a969...

both the machine and i played with elan (reckless abandon), rarely thinking more than a few seconds per move

crazy game that convinced me to sign up

i love that it ostensibly tried to stalemate me at the end, that's what i'd do too and often draw back when i played chess

i stopped because F** zero-sum games

but against noctie i'm not releasing stress hormones into someone's brain so i can like chess again

yeah i'm listening to the audio version and that bit hit me

good stuff by the author

EZ-Cheeze··on Show HN: I made a volumetric audio visualizer
It's really accurate to the music being played

I found a slightly-to-the side isometric closely-zoomed-in view to best show the finer waves and cadences being visualized

You should provide example track/s

10/10
