Everyone should know about SIMD, so you can know when to ask your good friend Al, who knows how to do it, to use it for you in the right places.

No, he was just talking about reinforcement learning, etc.

Yeah Infuse is actually usable.

If anthropic Hoovers up the world’s books and trains on them, and then spits them out verbatim on command, then it will clearly impact the value of the work; nobody will buy the original, they’ll just ask Claude.

Ah, right. So if we want models to be capable we need them to be trained on as much as possible, yet we also want to stop what you described. So what can be done?

Has someone replaced your return key with a double-dash key?

Why would reading copyrighted material ever be an issue anyway? Wouldn't copyright law only apply to what you create and publish using the model? Training on every comic book should already be perfectly legal, as long as you accessed them legally, right? But publishing your own Batman comic using that training is copyright infringement.

What I'm saying is, doesn't the law already cover 1?

Some day this industry's gonna end.

Film is a visual medium, so this is more appropriate: https://www.rogerebert.com/category/opening-shots

If only there were "real" engineers who could answer this question... https://www.hillelwayne.com/tags/crossover-project/

All the other replies to this missed the joke.

Drawing.

Their ideas have rarely been about form-factors or product categories (every knew what a tablet was before the iPad).

Or, more charitably, they don't want to be controlled but rather want guidance and wisdom in a difficult and confusing world.

Glad to hear that upper management are keeping up with the times, at least.

I keep hearing that "the average person hates AI", but their revealed preference is different. Any time they need to make anything that takes effort a lot of people immediately turn to ChatGPT.

People don't like to consume AI-made things but they sure like to use it.

Office 98

Being able to make large alterations to ffmpeg even though I'm a 2/10 C programmer.

The most impressive was speeding up the drawtext filter by at least 10x.

I am religious, but I think this approach is not the best. It requires that we specifically define what that one thing that separates us from the AI is. Not only is that very hard to do, there is always the chance that the AI can do it after all, and now the goalposts keep shifting.

It is better to develop a theology that can incorporate human-level or super-human level intelligence that isn't a zero-sum game.

Aww, but I have such big plans for it!

The Apple TV app is terrible. I use Infuse instead.

He was, but his instincts didn't lead him astray. He still understood the heart of the show.

Log Lady is weird but not quirky. The back half of season two had Nadine mentally regressing to a high-schooler but with superhuman strength (played for laughs); Dick Tremayne, a pompous menswear salesman wooing Lucy (played for laughs); and Benjamin Horne reenacting the Civil War (played for laughs). It's all very cartoonish.

If you watch season three, Log Lady gets quite an emotional farewell as the actress was dying of cancer. It's Lynch's insistence on treating even the quirky characters as real human beings that makes all the difference.

I'm not so sure about that assessment of Twin Peaks. Look at the back half of season 2, where the "weird and wonderful characters" become the focus of the show. It's barely watchable.

When Lynch came back for the final episode of that season he refocused it on Laura Palmer and brought back characters that hadn't been seen for many episodes, like Laura's mum or Audrey's brother. They weren't much fun, one being wracked by grief and the other mentally disabled. But that's what Twin Peaks is really about and what gave it staying power.

Everyone (including Diane Keaton when she directed an episode) seemed to think it was this kooky place and the weirdness was the point. There's plenty of fun there, but Lynch really understood it: hence Season 3 which gives you all of half an episode of Fun Dale Cooper before pulling the rug out from under you and reminding you that a girl was murdered and we shouldn't move on from that.

I'm surprised how restrained the Frink comments were, considering what a mess Points seem to be.

This seems exactly like Sushi Go but with a different skin. Are there any different mechanics?

Also note that when I hover over the cards in "The Cards" section I see both the front and back of the card stacked on top of each other.

Even if a manager can just conjure the software they want instantly using AI, they are still going to prefer having a nerd to manage it for them - to know how to prompt engineer or even just organise it all.

It might not look much like software engineering, but it's still going to be nerd stuff that most people don't want to bother with.

It's a linguistics thing, it's about word usage more than about colour. You ask someone to get a book off the shelf, and you say "get the blue book" and the person is confused because they see a green book.

We are usually not specific in our day-to-day language, and this exposes/clarifies the issue.

As a kid I literally sent Apple an email saying "hey, my mum's phone is tiny, surely you could stick a phone in an iPod?".

Built-in 5-point harnesses in the back seats would be safer than car seats and far easier, but there is a whole industry working against that idea.

Really? I fit 3 seats in a Hyundai i30. Not a big or fuel-hungry car.
