it doesnt generate text though, only probabilities

use it to classify a bunch of research papers (by feeding it section by section, or summaries of sections if too long)

works like a charm

(not a product, so not much to share)

your crumpet post is very informative!! but wont waffles get jealous of crumpet

its still called twitter

(for some of us)

riding horses is many ways way more fun than driving a car (earliest form of self driving!!!); but I'd never consider riding as a real form of transportation

it's fine to keep riding though as long as you're having fun!! but it will definitely get worse and worse as a form of transportation

(this is true for hand coding too)

yeah, and its happening in every country, but a lot of ppl make it feel like its just here

Mac's liquor store must be making a killing

(it's right outside GT's campus)

as long as there are things in and our lives to improve, there are opportunities to build great companies that provide a lot of value

i dont think those exist purely in software anymore- but if you look around at say, the skyrocketing number of elderly and nursing homes (just as an example) there are probably dozens of ways to improve lives and make a good living there

and electronics and hardware has always been so difficult and expensive to get into- but with new infra and workflows and 3d Printing and getting stuff from China- it's vastly cheaper and easier to do a robotics or hardware startup than 20 years ago

there will always be opportunities!

cost of living is bc of high price of energy

idk when most ppl's cars break down, they dont have the mental model to fix their cars either

we've been here / done this before, but in other journeys and with other "vehicles"

this is just another kind of vehicle, in a field where vehicles never existed

FYI if you're getting a Worker Exception, using Cloudflare Warp / 1.1.1.1 can get the article

If they want something that looks more like FDA sanction clinical trial proceedings for these products, then what they have to also realize is that they will need a third party to audit every single thing for every single product release and you get something like ERoom's law where every success and model gets more and more expensive release and probably billions of dollars in multiple years release so I don't know if this actually helps them

I've been reading Chip War and it seems like original funding for chip design was for the Space Race and for guided missiles - so basically most of Silicon Valley was started / funded by military all along

have they ever improved the charging system so the charging leads dont get gunked up?

I have a pair of airpod pro 2 and i have to scrape the leads almost every day

would be amazing if they did it thru induction charging (tho i guess thats really slow)

i absolutely love seeing the entire feed of links - already found a few great reads. thanks for this treasure!!!!

this is really nice! i think it looks great!

the infinite scroll prevents the footer from ever being seen though

https://rdltr.app/help is in the footer and it looks really helpful!

also, any plans to open source 0:)

I think this is true with some people, but I don't think this holds true for some (or even most) people across the US (at least not all the folks I've worked with)

this would wreck a lot of the marketing efforts and probably be bad for their bottom line in the long run

I'm surprised the Sony team isn't freaked out about this

it's more horrifying to think that an entire generation's "taste" might be built on the constant output of LLMs

it's like a new generation of chefs that only knows of Chili's, and thinks it's good.

shudder

Americans get another message that's similar: https://www.oneplus.com/us/adjustment

didn't know that! have a 2024 Premium and it's still loud

no one's complained (I don't even know if they notice), I just feel like it's obnoxious - I can feel the car arrive from the apt shaking haha

great choice NOT getting the GRC — it doesn't fit a car seat comfortably if you're 5'8 or larger haha

the stock GRC exhaust is intolerable already; every time I pull into the apt complex where everyone drives an EV, I feel like we're the neighborhood hood rats

I have a GR Corolla and it's great in the mountains! It's tiny light and fun and fits a car seat (barely).

I wouldn't consider a loud GRC w/ catback a "sleeper" though - it's quite the opposite??

I like the idea that Costco and Amazon are diametric opposites — for example I couldn't shop at Costco for a very very long time because I lived in the city and didn't have a car.

Amazon and other delivery companies (e.g. Weee) came to the rescue. For a while I lived close enough to a Costco for a 20 minute bike, so I'd load up my gym bag full of food - even then Costco is not ideal because there's only so much you can carry (one thing of meat, one thing of eggs, some veggies).

For those that think Costco are the uber-shopping experience are missing that they both provide very opposite consumer experiences. (Yes Costco has shipping, and same day shipping, but it hits different from Amazon).

This is also opposite to corner store grocery systems where you can pop in at any moment to get fresh fruit, a wider choice, smaller quantities at more flexible hours etc.

---

tldr - what I think I'm saying is that Costco is the perfect "suburban" purchasing experience - great if you tick the boxes that you have a big family (otherwise why do you need a 60 pack of toilet paper), a big house (where do you fit all that toilet paper), a car (to transport the toilet paper), etc.

anyone who don't tick those boxes can't really take advantage of any of that - so while Costco is amazing, it definitely shouldn't be the only way to shop.

there's plenty of tells, e.g. "how to actually bank the part that is real" — AI tends to just "throw words out there" with very little information density

you COULD create a writer/reviewer loop hook to catch and rewrite sentences like this, but almost no one does

the result is usually very long essays that say very little (kind of like in grade school where we're graded on "length" so we just add words as filler)

should really look at the Australian system... it's not really a free market there and the internet is awful

fantastic bloke, I wish most people did this

yeah this is what I meant - as we get older we're supposed to move slower, and spend more time working on mobility and strength (moderate strength building, walking, and other movements like taichi and equivalent)
