N3cr0ph4g1ston Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent

I've been alpha testing muse and there's precisely one area it's useful in.... Finding things on Facebook marketplace and haggling for me lol

N3cr0ph4g1ston Google, Nvidia, and OpenAI

you live in a bubble.

my mom who barely knows how to use her own phone googles stuff and recently showed me tips she got from hitting ai mode after searching something on google.

my dad uses gemini built into email and sheets and chrome.

just 2 anecdotal examples. oh and ai pro subscription i bought applies to my whole family for 20 a month and comes with 2tb storage.

insane value. and again google can do this and is still highly profitable all whilst competing on having the best model.

this shit ain't close.

N3cr0ph4g1ston MobileDiffusion: Rapid text-to-image generation on-device

Assistant makes reservations for me just like that demo :P but in general I agree it's gone very downhill

N3cr0ph4g1ston Google lays off hundreds in hardware, voice assistant teams

Get rid of Sundar.

N3cr0ph4g1ston Figma and Adobe abandon proposed merger

Good fuck em. They dangled this deal in my face why I was interviewing with figma and at least the people I dealt with were so sure it's a done deal.

Lame

N3cr0ph4g1ston Layoffs.fyi

I'm getting a lot more too. I'm applying for senior DS or a level lower mle positions and have gotten significantly more interviews in the last few weeks than the previous 2 months

N3cr0ph4g1ston Google preemptively banned hundreds of millions of 'pirate' URLs last year

How does it compare to searx.be?

N3cr0ph4g1ston GPT-4 API General Availability

Easiest would honestly be just to use gpt api. You can literally fork a streamlit or chainlit app and run it locally and then use langchain for any further customization...ex:https://streamlit.io/gallery?category=llms

All of them are open source minus the gpt part so you can get a feel for how it works.

N3cr0ph4g1ston Function calling and other API updates

I'm assuming something like humata.ai

N3cr0ph4g1ston Show HN: I made Hacker News but for research papers

N3cr0ph4g1ston Now offering 2TB SSDs for Steam Deck in the Framework Marketplace

How's the battery life

N3cr0ph4g1ston Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?

This is great. I would love a date filter but even without, it is very useful.

N3cr0ph4g1ston Caloric restriction increases lifespan but affects brain integrity in lemurs

Is stopping eating 3-4 hours really legit or just some traditional thought we've heard over and over again that sounded intuitive that we've come to accept? Lots of cultures that are long lived have late night meals and from a quick NCBI search, I found that even the old perceptions are getting proven wrong. Example:

N3cr0ph4g1ston ChatGPT is a ‘code red’ for Google’s search business

A combined google and PaLM like experience along with the fact that google can scale this up much more easily and cheaply than any competitor due to their in house TPUs makes me think otherwise but we shall see. Very cool stuff happening.

N3cr0ph4g1ston Stanford's War on Social Life

Your college experience sounds pretty terrible. Some of us were able to have a great social life while learning

N3cr0ph4g1ston Use of ChatGPT generated text for posts on Stack Overflow is temporarily banned

Google is most likely already working on its own version. They have the resources and ML chops to probably build one far more powerful. I'd bet they'll stay dominant

N3cr0ph4g1ston Tell HN: ChatGPT can reply like a specific Reddit or HN user, including you

This did not work for me at all... Gave an article that sounds nothing like my comments lol

N3cr0ph4g1ston The great Miyazaki watch of 2022

Anime has entered the mainstream for a while now, idk what you're talking about. You see the number of NBA stars saying they love anime? There's a video just a few days ago of wiggs talking about demon slayer, a ton of players love Naruto, etc. Don't act like a dweeb and anime isn't the turn off it once was.
