I'm conflicted about this. Custom tutoring available at all times and at mass sounds like a great thing, if done right. On the other hand, the research skill you mentioned is something that I wor…

Oh, that's pretty good! I've been doing this with various LLMs already, making elaborate system prompts to turn them into socratic style teachers or in general tutors that don't just st…

I understand this, and also partially feel this way as in it's garbo that they won't allow the artists to own their work and are able to strongarm this due to the size of Minecraft. On the o…

i wonder how much of that is simply due to how incredible dxvk is. I think intel even uses it as part of their windows drivers to translate some older dx version games to vulkan because it performs so…

Cool idea! Small typo on the landing page, in the media section it says "german nationa media" without the l

Woah, cool to see a bit of how it all works. Seems similar to basic antivirus signature checking? As a side note, a few years back, they had a GDC talk about a (then-new) machine learning based appro…

This applies less for basic human needs like a roof over the head, especially in a supply constrained market like we've been in for quite some time in many places around the world

As an aside, I really enjoy a lot of the quanta magazine articles! They manage to write articles that both appeal to compsci people as well as interested "outsiders". The birds-eye view and …

FYI, I think the $10 plan that's now "basic AI" used to just be the unlimited search plan and they just recently added a limited capacity of the AI stuff to it.

Yeah, I'm using them as soft bookmarks. Turn them into hard bookmarks every month or so, not to actively look at them, but the firefox address bar searches in bookmarks as well and offers them up…

Oh, I can 100% imagine / understand that. If it were that easy, it wouldn't be a problem.

Don't have kids myself, but as a source, I was once a child. Isn't the big problem then even if you do limit the time, it then becomes an even bigger want because we always want what we can&…

I've only started using gui search since using fedora. the tracker search in the activities view is fast and finds files in the home folder by name pretty well. The only shame is that the pdf-con…

I'm incredibly grateful for MIT OCW and consorts. I've been using it as a secondary resource for my subjects and learning about the same topic in two different ways is incredibly helpful, es…

Oh hey, I used phind a lot a while back and really enjoyed it. Sort of fizzled out of it for other stuff a few months back, but this looks pretty exciting! The visual explanations are great. I've…

I think that's the least of the problems, if there's anything we're good at it's adding superlatives to product names. You can call it Hyperintelligence, Quantum Intelligence. Alth…
