Cool idea and potentially useful in the future. Yet here I am on expert mode and LLM telling me I'm interacting with GPT-3? I got wary after I caught it lying again. I'm starting to think th…

You might have hit the “age wall” there, not enough “training” with VR also usually doesn’t help. The younglings I know all loved the PSVR2 experience much more so than the Quest which they were fans …

“The John Snow Project has set out some of the growing body of evidence that suggests COVID-19 is having serious adverse long-term impacts on human health. This evidence is, however, being subjected t…

Boosting photovoltaics through simulation of photosynthesis which is a quantum mechanical process. https://chemistry.illinois.edu/news/2021-03-08/high-level-si... …

Would be interesting to read some unbiased science on that. My hunch would be that any concept it might detect still depends on 2nd order patterns acquired through training? The ultimate “book smart” …

At the current time it is flawed to the point of being dangerous. It’s a - sometimes - useful new set of tooling. I guess there is value in that … but does it outweigh the always lurking “bullshit gen…

The compression can be lossy though and the model often “predicts” complete garbage even with GPT-4. It would be great to get a probability for correctness “Mr. Spock” style in chat - especially so as…

Isn’t this mostly due to rampant inequality as the main factor? I remember whenever I mentioned the swaths of homeless people, locals would often tell me “they are homeless by choice”. This attitude a…

I tried it as well and it was a net negative to my productivity (the output is also very slow). I guess the use case needs to be much more specific / rote / patterned. I didn’t find the swee…

I assume most people in here had the means to set up their own office / room through the pandemic? I for sure had to with a newborn on its way etc, it wouldn’t have been possible without that. It…

Assuming there is only one parent available to look after them.

I remember the most frustrating usually was coming in extra early so I can get some deep work done and suddenly the whole open office space fills up. People are laughing and trying to get your opinio…

I dig the independence sentiment and agree somewhat / in general on the "should know how it works underneath" part but Heroku is still the one platform I can recommend to most of my exc…

Jon Stewart / Larry Summers (ex secretary of the treasury) interview excerpts that the article is partially alluding to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV7d6PaXkcM …

It might not apply to this company but location independent pay is becoming a thing.

Depends on the company of course. In any case and at this rate it’s also power play though. Worker demands had become too much “out of line” and that creates tension. Look at Elon Musk, he is not acti…

To this old Llamatron fan Akka Arrh is now the definitive killer app for the (OLED) Switch. Disclaimer: must still have high brain plasticity / good hand-eye coordination to cope with it. I…

Maybe that changed over the years, I only remember professional recruiters. But even so, this still mostly amounts to noise as to me the majority of companies are just not interesting to work for at a…

I never let anyone else do the company vetting for me, not even for preselection. I also want to have the leverage of negotiating with my future employer / stakeholder directly, recruiter cut inc…

Counterpoint: I've been working in this industry for ~20 years by now and have deleted my LinkedIn around the halfway point. Turned out it was even more useless than that Facebook account I had a…
