Do it on a consistent enough basis and you could sell the data to hedge funds no problem.

Why is it unwarranted?

I installed a reverse osmosis water filter at home, it's great for removing PFAS (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/hazar...).

They can be expensive but it's worth it to have clean drinking water. Be sure to get one with a built in pump to maintain the right pressure on the membrane. I like the iSpring brand.

Can I memorize copyrighted material and recite it on Youtube? What if I do so but imperfectly? Where do you draw the line? If it's infringement for a human to do that why is it not for a LLM?

There is selective pressure for aging because populations of organisms that don't age cannot evolve to adapt to new environments.

Most people know that if a car share driver gets enough bad reviews they get kicked off the platform. Maybe part of that trend is not wanting to be responsible for "taking away" someone's source of income, even if the service was just average. Really egregious things can be reported in other ways.

There's also the cognitive burden of having to compare "this" ride to "every other ride you've ever had". That, plus the fact that you rarely see an impact of giving reviews... it's easier to just hit 5 stars or ignore.

Serious question... where can I read the best summaries of the arguments in favor of "AGI will destroy humanity"? and also arguments against? I'm not convinced we can predict how it will behave.

I would love to see that chart of average pay by city adjusted to be after state and local taxes, and maybe with a Cost of Living estimate. Gross numbers aren't what hits your bank account.

What does it mean for a SDC platform to "win"? They either drive safely or they don't.

We're setting up for the biggest "winner take all" product-market fit in history.

Besides, ~99.9% of people won't have the expertise to make an informed decision on which provider to use (if they even have a choice).

The only losing scenario is if one is particularly bad, leading to a ton of regulation (like a FAA for SDCs).

What are the databases with easy schema evolution?

What do you suggest otherwise? Clearly whatever we're doing now has led us to this point.

I went through a "productivity" phase where I tried to listen to podcasts every day at 1.5x speed or more to be more efficient... it did not last long.

For those wondering, the entire top banner is the volume bar. Just drag the volume icon to the left.

I would love to hook this up to a LoRa receiver and use it around town, will be fun to hack on.

I believe that hybrid and remote work is going to lead to more expensive/dense cities, not less. Remote workers will mostly stay in place or snatch up 2+ br places (for their home office) and hybrid offices could rotate employees to up usage (e.g. hot desks/shifts/etc).

I'm thinking about buying a personal voice recorder and keeping it on me 24/7. I could run the audio through Whisper every day and then slowly build up a database of facts that I could query. Like every day if I learn someone's birthday or meet a new person, I could quickly say "I met XYZ at the meeting and we talked about AI bots. Their birthday is May 11th", or "remember to pay the phone bill on the 21st of every month". And then every day the assistant could query that database and tell me who's birthday it is, or which task I need to take care of. If it was realtime then we get closer to a "Her" style AI assistant.

The biggest issue I have is with the models being cloud hosted. I want to own and control all of my data especially personal things like voice recordings... any company will promise the moon when talking about their data security, but we should be 100x more worried about the risks in the long term.

I was in Japan recently and they sell these pocket size translator devices with a microphone, camera and screen. You can speak to it or take pictures and it will translate on the fly. Maybe $100 usd range for a nice one.

It's only a matter of time before someone makes a similar device with a decent LLM on it, and premium ones will have more memory/cpu power.

Just buy glycine, it's cheaper and has the same effect. Up to 20g/day is safe.

Remember the Ubuntu phone kickstarter? I pledged for it back in the day and was relieved it fell through... maybe some day they will try again.

I had to throw away my nice Leatherman Micra (because of the tiny blade) at an airport because I forgot it was in my carry on, only to sit at a restaurant next to the gate and be given a full size serrated steak knife with my meal...

I like the remote code editing feature. I would love a solution that lets me write code on my iPad, including running the code locally. If I could run a server at home and connect to it it would be great. Is there anything like that?

Was its usage actually declining? When it was shut down every other feed reader alternative I tried was overloaded for weeks.

There was a device called the Dreem headband that used EEG and bone conduction earphones to play special tones at specific points of your sleep cycle, the goal being to extend the REM segments. Unfortunately that function was software limited to the EU market for whatever reason and then they stopped selling it to the public. I almost got one before they did but I couldn't guarantee that I would have that functionality. Hopefully it goes on sale again soon.

I feel like the biggest impact will be for authors who have an existing body of work... you can train the model on your writing and generate new text in your own style. What takes days could be done in hours.

I'm sure the same could be done for editors... train it on annotated text (original + corrections), use it to generate new edits.

> they can trick a computer to go against it's programming

isn't it behaving exactly as programmed? there's no consciousness to trick. The developers being unable to anticipate the response to all the possible inputs to their program is a different issue.

Why would an AI be civilization ending? maybe it will be civilization-enhancing. Any line of reasoning that leads you to "AI will be bad for humanity" could just as easily be "AI will be good for humanity."

As the saying goes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The immune system is not a muscle that needs to be "exercised."

They'll just have to chime in and clarify which pathogens they meant.

I was snarky because the idea of "exercising the immune system" is misinformation and used by "immunity debt" proponents.

let me know how your exercise with avian flu, yellow fever, HIV, ebola, hepatitis, etc etc etc goes.
