GP is talking about the name of the letter H like when you're saying the ABCs. How do you pronounce it?

Some YouTubers always say a like the letter a (e.g. the vowel in "day")

I find it pretty annoying. A different YouTuber had a good video about it though https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4IJLyFAzYes&ra=m

An historic just sounds pretentious, sorry :p

Some people pronounce nvidia as nuhvidia others as envidia so when the writer puts "a" or "an" before it they're revealing how they pronounce it

It's similar to a/an, thuh is before a consonant and thee is before a vowel. And thee is also used for emphasis. But some people use a / thuh before a vowel. Do you have an example?

That one is more natural without the word "some" imo

Not everyone hates them. A lot of people do, it can be a tough job because of that but it's just a form of marketing/sales. So is cold emailing. You can get customers that love your work or your product that way, some people will be annoyed along the way but if you're providing real value to the people who become your customers I think it's usually reasonable to be using those channels.

Anyway I was being facetious i hate ads as much as the next guy when I'm using a service like YouTube where they force ads on you and fight against my ad blocker. But having run ads myself i have some sympathy for the advertisers now.

I wasn't saying people who receive ads find them useful, although that can sometimes be true. I was saying they are useful for the people that are paying to run them

At least traditionally, software engineers avoided everything except coding for a long time, but now i guess that's changed

Did you open a new issue?

Ads are useful, they help you reach customers

Reminds me of the mouse utopia studies i read about where the mice didn't have to work and there was plenty of food and water, no diseases etc and eventually everything got all messed up and the mice lost the ability to reproduce

I probably wouldn't want to drink milk from an unhealthy cow though

If you're on Android you can use AntennaPod. I switched to pocketcasts when I switched to iOS

Beeper and Pocket Casts

What if they charged money? Is it something you'd pay for?

Too bad because they have some incredible products

Nice i didn't realize it was open source now

It's been down for me for a few days now

Curious to see what happens when the fashion cycle runs its course and skinny jeans are in again and these big phones don't fit in our pockets anymore. Will phones get smaller or will we stop carrying them around and instead use wearables and retinal implants?

I guess giving cows extra growth hormone

Launched in 1991, so i guess the ig doesn't stand for instagram

Isn't growth hormone in your milk a bad thing? Isn't that a loophole that should be closed?

Well, banana republics are run by American companies from what i understand

Re this point

> As for intelligence, the frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic are still superior, and they have at least a 3-6 month head start. Distilled models are closing the gap on some metrics, but they still can't compete. That's why they cost so much less.

I would argue that the reason they cost so little is because anyone can run open models and offer them as a service, so there's actual competition and the price is closer to cost. i.e. if the open models were just as intelligent as frontier models but cost the same to run as they do right now, the price wouldn't be higher (unless demand went up so high that marginal cost to provide more of the service went up, due to scarcity of hardware and or electricicy).

On the other hand, if what you're saying is the frontier labs have some pricing power due to their models being better, and that is the reason they are able to charge more than the companies providing open models as a service, then I would agree.

Gotta love this article's use of both the terms OpenAI and open A.I. which are pronounce the same but mean very different things

> arguing that a Reality Labs executive downloaded nearly 20,000 files at his home for work purposes, not for personal use

So is it a Reality Labs executive or a Meta executive? Is the headline lying?

Wait, if it was only firstname.lastname.name, how was he able to register firstnamelastname.name? Does it let you register 2nd level domains if you get there before someone else registers a 3rd level domain that uses the 2nd level domain that you want to register?

Thanks. I know about that sandbox but I'm asking about if I were to use another harness like pi instead

Can someone explain what this is, to someone who has never heard of the .name tld before?
