I think this is a bit too much of a strawman for an argument that's in line with what's actually discussed in the linked article. Especially when talking about a guy who directed Schindler&#…

That was a breath of fresh air! Also, the notes page warmed my heart. [0] Such a shame that digital gardening hasn't really taken off that much. Scrolling through some of the posts there feels in…

Clearly Superior Technologies (CST) is the brand :) After a quick search, I think they're being manufactured by a different company now: https://xkeys.com/xkeys/trackballs.ht…

Yep. This article is a good example of how to not do science. Not a single counterexample is provided from another decade. Not to even talk about actually trying to prove the same point for the 50…

Yep, still says it's on the Feb 13 version for me as well.

Asking ChatGPT Plus whether the model it's using is GPT-4 responds with the following: > No, I am not GPT-4. As of March 2023, there is no official announcement or release of GPT-4 by OpenAI. …

In case anyone missed this part of the article: The livestream of the GPT-4 demo will be on the OpenAI YouTube page in three hours. [0] [0]: https://www.youtube.com/openai Edit - Dire…

Changing the system prompt is not going to get you banned, as it's something OpenAI encourages people to do when making API calls to gpt-3.5-turbo. [0] [0]: https://platform.openai.com…

Either you can try it out with a longer system prompt, or wait until OpenAI releases a fine-tune API for the gpt-3.5-turbo model. The system prompts aren't designed to be very long, so the fine-t…

Let me get this straight based on the other posts in this thread. You suggested the idea of the other person sending out invites to another server, and he said that he's already on it? And after …

There was an interesting profile on Lucas Pope in Ars Technica years ago. [0] What struck me was that he's very development tools oriented. Development not as a means to an end, but as much a lov…

Yes, I've been going back and forth between Google and ChatGPT quite a bit lately. Sort of using Google as the verification step, after getting deeper into a subject.

Could you elaborate on this? It definitely is able to decipher whether it has knowledge about the future, or some specific political events. This is obviously a pretty straightforward bonus layer on t…

Hold on, at least for me, 90% of the stuff is not just coherent-looking, but coherent. I do think that when it's wrong, it should give a heads up about not being certain about a subject. It'…

Isn't this one of those things that usually ends up having the opposite effect it's supposed to have? As in, people who scold themselves about their specific addiction are likely to include …

That's not a satire? The vibe of that is just so eerie, especially the transitions between departments. And the player literally having to aim and throw the jug of milk back to its place? What on…

“We felt it was time for a change. This might sound weird, but while we got very good at making ‘Zachtronics games’ over the last twelve years, it was hard for us to make anything else. We were fortu…

At least in Europe, quite a few shops that sell drums, pianos and guitars also have some grooveboxes, drum machines and synths you can try out. Bigger ones could have Elektron ones as well with some l…

I think for defensive puzzles to really work better, the principle of what's counted as the right answer would have to be flipped on its head. Often in defensive situations there's one move …

This is definitely a problem. Defensive problems do appear, but much more rarely than attacking ones. I guess their rating gets pumped up pretty fast, because they're much harder to solve - or pe…

There are interesting edge cases to these sorts of relationships, like Deadmau5 finding a vocal from a fan on stream for a song that is now one of his most well known ones. [1] From what I've see…

Making a generalization off of that specific anecdote is pretty unfair IMO, there's a huge difference between Gap and Herman Miller. Gap is closer to IKEA while Herman Miller is closer to a well …

This reminds me that everyone should read Consider The Lobster by DFW. [1] It's such a straightforward, yet well written think piece about this exact subject. [1]: http://www.columbia.…

Don’t agree with this writeup at all. It seems like writeups comparing life and chess are heavily biased towards the strategic concepts, when in reality playing the game well is heavily based on grasp…
