_just7_··on All You Need Is 4x 4090 GPUs to Train Your Own Model
I would be much more intrested in a piece on what you can train with this kind of rig, rather than the rig itself

_just7_··on Private company landing on the moon today
The simplest way to do it is probably just to have a high quality 360 camera, that way you mostly get around the problem of orientation

Held in deposit forever, ie until someone sues someone else or the money are forgotten
_just7_··on Did Airbnb kill the PM role?
Yeah I don't really think a meaningfully larger amount people are traveling because Airbnb is an app that exist, so demand from tourism should stay flat, no?
_just7_··on Sam Altman isn’t the answer to regulating artificial intelligence
I mostly agree that there is probably some self-interest at play when they ask for regulation. Though the fact that one of the existing firms in the industry wants regulation doesn't invalidate all the legitimate reason for regulation. For example, existing car manufacturers might benefit significantly from all the safety requirements for cars as they create a barrier to entry for new players, but I doubt that many people want to abolish all the testing and certification cars have to go through.

What is up with that site giving me three seperate popups warning me that the site uses cookies
_just7_··on Large language models are having their Stable Diffusion moment
Give it few shot examples and the quality should improve a lot. If you want a bot able to do technical Q&A give it two questions as well as the answers in its prompt. The model will then infer it's role as an AI that answer questions truthfully, and will try it's best to continue along those lines
_just7_··on Introducing ChatGPT and Whisper APIs
Just use iteration where you continuously update the prompt to include previous messages
_just7_··on Introducing ChatGPT and Whisper APIs
Would probably pile up to an inhuman amount of data storage. Imagine having to pay for storing the equivalent of 1000 tokens of text within that budget of only 0.0002 dollars
_just7_··on Detect ChatGPT Generated Content
The only way I could get it to say something was completely written by a human, was by adding spelling mistakes

_just7_··on Sergey Brin’s $100B Private Fiefdom (2022)
Its a political choice in so far that we have artificially inflated home prices by not allowing enough homes to be build
_just7_··on Sergey Brin’s $100B Private Fiefdom (2022)
The federal government spent 6.8 trillion about 30% of GDP in 2021. If we confiscated all wealth of every single billionaire in the US without any loss what so ever, we would have 4 trillion dollars, or enough to fund the budget for about seven months. In this case we are ignoring that you would probably only destroy that vast amount of wealth without having anything to show for it, because most of it is tied to things like stock prices, which you would probably have a hard time finding a buyer for if you just confiscated everyones stocks...
_just7_··on I am done. I give up
I will add that it's only about luck if your entering a certain kind of industry, where your succes is dependent on popularity.

If for example you start lumber company selling timber wood, the only thing you need to have an edge is to undercut the market with 5% on price. Of cause you won't get rich quick or maybe even slow, but it's a tried and tested strategy. Before starting a business you should ask yourself is my business luck depend, or is my success guaranteed as long as I undercut the competition on price or quality.

_just7_··on The simplest app that makes money
As a former poker player I can say it's quite stupid to use that kind of app at the table, because it's a massive tell. Any time somebody looks at that app the other people at the table know you have mid range hand. Cause your not gonna be looking at it if you have unsuited 2, 5, and you not gonna be looking at it when you have Pocket jacks. Reminds me of how one of the regulars I played with was one of the smartest people I knew, he always calculated the exact odds in his head while sitting at the table, but he was still a subpar player, because he had the most obvious tell, if he was staring kind of up and to the right it was because he was calculating his odds of hitting a range, meaning I could induce when I should bet to get him to leave the pool.
_just7_··on DreamFusion: Text-to-3D using 2D Diffusion
My guess is we have to wait a good 3 months time before someone makes a opensource version
_just7_··on My deepfake DALL-E 2 vacation photos passed the Turing Test
Yep, though from what I heard they are planning to role it out quicker than gpt-3, with a full launch this summer
_just7_··on Unsolved problems in economics
That's about as accurate as saying Medicine doesn't make any more reliable predictions than astrology
_just7_··on DALL-E 2 open source implementation

_just7_··on Tokyo’s Manuscript Writing Cafe won't let writers leave until they are finished
Has anyone else had any luck with creating artificial accountability? Kind of miss the days where I had to show my progress to someone, be that my teacher or parents
