No, thanks…

Maybe not in aggregate but definitely in local areas.

“Companies identified Los Angeles, San Francisco/Oakland, Houston, New York and Seattle as the five cities and metropolitan areas most affected by retail crime.”

Please either write out "Thanks" or just leave off a close. Thx may as well be "f you."

Dawkins interview with Helen Joyce, author of Trans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu72Lu5FqE4

Since demand won’t be going down the only solution is expedited development as you suggest. We’ve seen government pump record money into businesses so it’s frustrating that in both the US and Canada more isn’t being done to solve the problem of housing affordability by pursuing the only real solution.

Kind of sad how ad-hoc mode was such a a failure. I always imagined how cool it would be to have a huge number of devices all connected to the internet through each other but it was hard enough to just get two devices talking.

Main question I have is who is the target audience? If you're making this for work teams then it seems an app would be necessary. If you're making this as a burner line it seems there are cheaper options.

The killer feature of Mailchimp for me is templates. Make the editor great and I would move over quickly.

The main reason correction is needed is a matter of economic and national strength. Increasingly we see students opt out of college because the cost benefit to them doesn’t make any sense.

You can argue that those people will learn skilled trades or online but university has always been and will continue to play an important role in economic output in the US. When only those in the highest tax bracket can afford college it exacerbates instability and undermines the economy.

Thank you for making this tool. So impressive how many features work well in this initial version.

I keep trying to give ChatGPT-4 math problems that will confuse it but it keeps getting the answer correct. If the model is only using tokens and probabilities and not actually computing the equation shouldn't there be more incorrect answers?

It’s a good question. Intel P/E is around 17 while Nvidia is around 82. With government support or infusion I have a hard time seeing it go lower.

I think Intel is a buy because they’re going to be too important to fail for US in the chip war. Anyone else buying?

The core issue is the content these models get trained on. If you train your model on copyrighted work are you guilty of copyright infringement when the output is used commercially? We are going to see a lot of these cases over the next few years.

Seems arrogant to say there’s no such thing as a soul when we have a hard time even defining consciousness.

It makes sense for the Fed to raise rates to something closer to historical averages. But the speed at which they've chosen to hike rates shows they were asleep at the wheel for the past two years and are now slamming the breaks - there will be more collateral damage.

Exactly. When someone rips off someone else's art a court can usually determine that the copyright was infringed. But when an artist uses an AI model trained on other people's works how can that be proven even in a courtroom?

NIST study suggests that gas is the most eco-friendly home energy option.

The most important thing I’ve learned about anxiety in the past year is that the conscious/cognitive part of your brain is not effective at calming down the stress response. I recommend this book to anyone who struggles with anxiety: https://amzn.to/3B3muZ9

Chat tools that help power users access features or settings inside of an app are where I think the immediate value is. App interfaces are super simple which reduces cognitive load on the user but hides many needed features. I have to hunt around so many app and website pages to find the setting I need and I think this is an area good chat interfaces can excel.

Does anyone else feel like the crypto crowd just migrated to AI?

It seems like the slight speed advantage was in uncompressing the files beforehand on the HDD essentially skipping a step that had to be performed on every boot from NAND.

31 light-years away. Proxima Centauri b is about 4. Don't think I'd like to visit either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri_b

I'd like to visit Kepler-452b but it's 1,500 light-years away: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-452b

This looks like a very useful tool with a wide range of applications. Is it Windows to Linux only? It would be so nice if it was system agnostic.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I think the longest lasting legacy of covid will be the distrust it created for big government, big pharma, and big tech.

I see more layoffs in Meta's future.

I’m reading this book to help overcome my fear of talking to strangers.

There are nine thousand known PFAS. They are essential to many products and processes. Many don't have a clear alternative. Other countries will continue to produce them. But 3M is going to ban them all without any discernment. Am I missing something?
