How will you fight the inevitable slide that happens if you ever got on top? I’m convinced Google started with the absolute best of intentions before the money and greed turned them into a horror movie villain.

Maybe another company will take over at time. Why does one company have to stay perfect and on top of game for eternity?

I liked it a ton. Its nice to see hollywood take a chance on new IP. Not exactly the same comparison but The Silo series by Apple also comes to mind.

The Silo is a book adaptation, not a new IP.

I’ve been using urtext as a “Second Brain” for several years now and love it. Miles beyond any other personal knowledge and notes system.

Simply the ability to place, edit, and sort by timestamps sets it apart from other notes/knowledge systems.

Requires some familiarity with Sublime Text and ST’s quirks, and eventually an ST license is basically a necessity.

Can you elaborate on how you use it? I tried googling any mention of it and failed (all reddit posts were deleted). I installed it into sublime but it didn't seem to do anything

What you could do, I guess, is write up 5-6 implementations of it yourself first, then feed those into the training set for the model, and then it should have a decent shot at understanding that particular problem. (maybe /s?)

I guess my question is if you had a good solution you'd done before, and also a good understanding of what kinda changes it needs, why bother with hours of AI prompting?

To write a blog post! "I used AI to solve this challenging problem" gets more traction than "I solved this challenging problem"

You say "political" as if expressing any hesitation whatsoever about how our limited taxpayer dollars are spent is some sort of insane delusion. Maybe think about how the average taxpayer trying to make ends meet would see this.

A conference could simply be inside one of the many large and existing academic buildings at one of our fine universities. Why they need to fly to a Las Vegas conference center is nonsensical

junipertea · a year ago
Most universities do not contain sufficient capacity to host both the conference and the overnight stays of thousands of people. Even a major university would face significant disruption by hosting a conference, it is simply not built for it. Building venues at each university doesn’t make sense either because it doesn’t have 100% utilization.

Conference venues provide incentives by having cheap venue rent and minor discount on housing and the city makes money by having more people do fun things in their down time.

Purely from efficiency, disregarding politics or “waste” or “delusion”, conference centers are built for a very rational reason - it makes sense and saves money for event organizers.

Not really - I want security which is why I always keep a reasonable amount of emergency savings. Not to mention my retirement funds that provide security for the future when I can't work. Ideally I'll die just as I spend my last dollar, but it is highly likely that I will have money left over.

I referred on high compute mode. They have table with breakdown here: https://arcprize.org/blog/oai-o3-pub-breakthrough
junipertea · a year ago
The table row with 6k figure refers to high efficiency, not high compute mode. From the blog post:

Note: OpenAI has requested that we not publish the high-compute costs. The amount of compute was roughly 172x the low-compute configuration.

I saw many projects like this a while ago, and, although they all seemed great, I kept wondering why do I need such a complex thing just to save/run a bunch of scripts?

I ended up building my own script runner, fj.sh [1]. It's dead simple, you write your scripts using regular shell functions that accept arguments, and add your script files to your repos. Run with "fj myfunc myarg ...". Installation is basically downloading an executable shell script (fj.sh) and adding it to your PATH. Uninstall by removing it. That's all.

I'm not saying 'just' is bad—it is an awesome, very powerful tool, but you don't always need that much power, so keep an eye on your use case, as always.

Why would they go backwards in capabilities and get shunted to a niche instead of growing?
junipertea · a year ago
Probably as copyright lawsuits settle and they will have to pay for their training data
