Depends a lot on what kind of prose. For anything that needs to sustain a consistent voice over a long piece, the models that let you steer style with a short style guide up front tend to do better than ones you have to constantly re-prompt mid-way through.
In Musashi's era, meaning the late 1500s, kendo (sword fighting) was absolutely about being as "productive" (read: lethal) as possible.
As it happens, Musashi lived through the era when firearms were introduced to Japan, and participated in the decisive Battle of Sekigahara (1600) where both sides used them extensively.
This developer did actually find screenshots on their TV of everything displayed on their screen, even when they set every available option that's supposed to stop ACR:
I get it that someones annoyed they didn't get credited, but aren't we better off having the solution than not? And surely if the AI rationalised the answer, even off the work previously done by others, then surely it can detail it's solution making it completely comprehensible to others that follow. Storm in a teacup?
Yep, the cost of DDR5 skyrocketed to keep Mr & Mrs open source from parallel developing their own at home solution. Because Governments can't be priced out of the market. China can't be priced out. VC's want open source locked out of the running if possible.
I also don't doubt that the models that are released publicly are somewhat handicapped versions of whatever the government get access to.
They've not plataued but they're certainly not as impressive as the hype would have them to be.
The reality is, it doesnt matter if LLMs keep getting more powerful because they still need a human to steer it. Without the human providing inputs to the LLM it just sits there and does nothing.
Hey, op here. Not sure if you're serious but please don't end it. My message to myself and to you is that your value is not in your work or your abilities, but inherent in yourself. You are unique and amazing. Please look around you for people you can trust and talk to them. Get help if you need it.
Blizzard is getting a lot of vitriol and I don’t think it’s unwarranted. Yes, some of it might be melodramatic but I remember when Warcraft 3 was coming out. Or even Lord of the Clans. People were mega hyped.
This is a huge turn of the tide. Very little of the core fan base, if they even still have that, is interested. Both Diablo 5 and StarCraft 3 getting panned. Very strange of Blizzard to do this, especially as a fuck-you to people who bought Diablo 4 and now there’s no Diablo in it, unless they release a surprise expansion pack which would just be weird.
As for the trailer, it looks like a grimdark Warhammer 40K thing. I don’t know why they are releasing trailers so early. I’m guessing they’ll spend the next 3-4 years in constant marketing mode to drum up sales?
I don’t even get this company anymore. Who the fuck is in charge around here? And where’s our air support?
They're not doing it with consent. LG still covertly takes screenshots of everything you display on your screen even when you set every available option that's supposed to stop this:
And there are cases of LG re-enabling these ACR options without your consent when they push firmware updates, and even randomly without updating, at which point the TV will send all the past and present ACR data it's harvested from you to LG, without your consent:
But those things fall in a category of "things that are awful and I'd like to see solved", which is different than "existential risks which could see my kids dead, and there's nothing I can personally do to shield them from it".
It was very exciting to work at Apple. In one way it felt like I was at the center of the creative world (despite not being in the hardware or software division). But the interesting _web_ stuff was all happening elsewhere. Stewart Butterfield kindly kept asking me to join the Flickr team, and eventually the pull of that outweighed the allure of Apple.
I spent the next four and a half years at Flickr and it was foundational to the rest of my working life. The people I was lucky enough to be around and learn from there were extraordinary, and the environment and opportunities were second to none.
In retrospect another six months at Apple, further taking advantage of their employee stock purchase program, would have been life changing. Shares were about $7 each back then after the discount. But you do what you think is right at the time, and I'm grateful for every moment I got to spent in Cupertino.
Basically my vision was to create the ultimate GitHub. Where you arrive on your main page, you see your PRs with different statuses you can immediately decide which one you want to check, you see the ci there, the numbers of comments, the diff, then you arrive you have this super clear pr view with a nice file viewer, keybinds to navigate from file to file with w and s, full screen mode with R. You have on the left cards for the description, conversations, merging management..
The transitions and routing is optimized as much as possible and I’m merging stuff every day to improve it even more.
I reverse engineered it the queries and now everything nearly feels instant.
I’m planning to make it agentic and that the git “hub” could be my own git hub at some point. Wish me luck guys!
The repo is open source. I spent way too much time on polishing the UI
