Last session I had a corrupted unicorn that the players need to subdue to cleanse her. So I asked chatGPT for possible rituals that could be used to cleanse the corruption.

I also use it to come up examples of cons that npc's might try and pull and most recently a bunch of taunts that pixie's would sling at the group as they crossed the Whispering Woods.

It's great for doing easy work and for bouncing ideas off of to shore up storylines or to spark creativity.

And the biggest use case, flavor box text.
- Describe a musty library with water damage.
- Describe the players entering a peacefully glade that lets them know they can relax.
Yeah, also "How" and "The" sometimes get automatically removed. But I don't recall seeing such an option after my submission was re-titled.
The comparison to a car salesman is apt. If I were to trade in my 6 week old Model 3 to Tesla right now, they'd offer around 20 grand less than I paid them for it.

Though to be fair, that's probably true of any random car dealer, because of what Tesla did to the used market a couple weeks ago.
I think the reason those restrictions exist is more important here than the rarity of the restriction. I argue this because I think the magnitude of the implications of unrestricted ingestion of public and private data is similar to the magnitude of the implications of unrestricted camera use without limit, i.e. as good a candidate for a restriction as those camera use cases currently restricted by law.

The reason you cannot record what's going on in a bathroom has as much to do with the implications of the recording as it does with the implications of being observed in the first place.

I don't disagree about the ensuing mess of laws, but I don't think we have a reason to believe Stable Diffusion will be spared from it.

Rockchip devices have stellar mainline (that chip rk3588 doesn't have it yet), for business reasons (radxa relies on it for industrial support, Chromebooks push mainline very heavily). I can't speak for this new one, but previous rockchip flagship (rk3399) have exactly one binary blob, which is used for display port over usb-c. Everything else is supported as open source, and mostly supported mainline (Linux and uboot and atf)

We certainly hauled a bunch of sats home over the decades, see STS-51-A for a typical declassified example of some relatively boring comsats.

The classified missions published landing weights for some reason; they were low; the assumption is they never hauled anything home or they faked the landing weights because it wouldn't matter if they told the truth or not to the public (AFAIK no payload related change in realistically observable flight path was ever seen by independent observers)

Westar 6 was later relaunched as AsiaSat 1. It trips non-space people out because "everyone knows" SpaceX and the old shuttle are the only things ever launched into space, landed, and re-launched back into space, but they were doing this back in the 80s with comsats and who knows what the military was up to.
I expect you are right. The few times I've used Apple for a trade-in, I recall that the actual trade-in is to a third-party. I'm not at all convinced the hardware ever makes it back to Apple themselves.
I often cited example is to write something in the style of "Dr. Suess". Doesn't this imply that Dr. Suess's books are in the training data set ? How can one find out what other books, screenplays, magazines, etc. are in the training data.

I'm looking for a role as a Founding Engineer, Head of Engineering, CTO, or very early member of a funded startup (or one seeking funding). As an engineer I'm a full stack generalist with over 15 years of experience as an IC and manager. My strength is deeply understanding businesses, the product, the industry challenges, the customers, unit economics, sales cycle, and market opportunities. I use that understanding to build and execute great product-technical roadmaps that deliver both incremental value while opening up long-term opportunities.
What are the best options for maps driven by data from SQL? So far the best I found is carto.com
This sounds pretty similar to non-academic corporate life. People who show up to hang out, get mad at people who don't do the same, you're encouraged to work extra hours to get ahead, only able to work on things you get funding for (i.e. what clients will pay you for or projects that those above you will greenlight), being controlled by corporate executives, etc.

But you probably get paid more in the corporate world, at least.
> You'll be working for The Man instead of doing what you really want either way, I promise

As an academic who does work on my own projects all the time, I'll have to disagree. I mean, yeah I have to do things I'm not thrilled about, like advising students and filling out course evaluations. But at the same time, I only work 4 days a week, 28 weeks of the year, and those days I'm done at noon. The rest of my time I spend working on my projects, which are 100% what I'd be doing if I were to come across a billion dollars tomorrow.

> If you want to do Science, just spend 1-2 decades in industry and save your money.

I see this advice a lot, and it's logical. But I don't think practical. If it were, I think we'd see more people going this route, but I'm not aware of too many (well, any really). Can you point to anyone who has amassed a small fortune in industry and now is a successful independent researcher?

It seems like the more popular route is to spend 1-2 decades amassing wealth and then just retire on that money. Or to invest it. You'd be what, 40+ at that time? That's a prime age for family rearing. The kids' college funds need to be swelling at that point. At such a critical time in a family, who in their right mind would leave a lucrative career to be an independent researcher, a job path that is largely reserved for independently wealthy people.

If you want to blow your family's nest egg at 40 by pursuing an independent research agenda, go right ahead, but I think that's a risk most people won't take. Even if successful, it's not going to have a positive ROI (that's not what research is about). That's why researchers spend other peoples money and not their own.
To be fair to Windows, it didn't take much more powerful hardware before that problem went away—the mp3 stuttering, anyway, UI lag/unresponsiveness is still struggling to match BeOS on ~every major OS, today. Was all Win98 for me in that era, maybe XP and such improved it (I don't think I ever tried to run it on anything that weak)

Astro's Island Architecture supports selectively including multiple component frameworks / JavaScript libraries (React, Vue, Svelte, etc..) for interactivity.

The 5W space is perhaps the space I understand the least.

Things get weird at 5W. There's phones and tablets, but these aren't really general compute devices. But then comes these SBCs like Rasp. Pi, Rock 5B, Le Potato, Beaglebone Black, etc. etc. These use phone/tablet CPUs but in a form factor conductive to USB ports and HDMI ports... like a SFF Desktop.

I've seen people say "Its a great small desktop!!", and hook up the Rasp. Pi (or whatever) to a $200 27" monitor drawing 80W and I'm just... confused by that. You're not making a good power-consumption argument, or a cost-benefit argument either, most of your costs are on the damn monitor (both in power and in $$$).

I think there's value in the $60 7" screens though, which return the form factor closer to its Phone/Tablet roots. With such a small screen, the price is dramatically lower, while the power-consumption plummets to 5W SBC + 5W Screen (10W total).

-----------

In theory, 10W total power consumption fits inside of 15.4W requirements on PoE. So there are real benefits to cutting the power consumption to an appropriate size.

I guess there's also a myriad of "headless" applications where a 5W Rasp. Pi (or competing SBC) is useful. But in my experience, most of those headless applications should be a VM and/or Docker image instead.

----------

With that being said: this Rock 5B seems to draw 15W worst case, which leaves the available area for PoE. That could be fixed with a local battery pack (1270 Lead Acid packs are only $35) + some kind of power-controller to even out the power-draw. I admit that's a bit of custom electronics, but those kinds of custom-electronic problems are why we have ATMega / Arduino Unos laying around, right? :-)
“Electric vehicles are progress… has the potential to become renewable”

How do you contradict yourself so quickly and not see it?

Our electric cars aren’t using “renewable energy” (what a shifty term). They’re using oil being converted to electric energy (at a cost of losing some of the efficiency)

Maybe someday these cars will use energy purely generated from the sun or wind, but given the volume of cars in the planet Im suspicious we’ll ever generate that much. This ignores a growing population where each year we collectively consume more and more

Fusion would be a way to do it, or even fission, but for some reason we can’t consider fission and we don’t put nearly enough money into researching fusion

443 kilometers? That's nothing, I took a picture of Jupiter with my phone through a telescope once.

In all seriousness, this is super cool. But what are the rules? Same planet only I assume. I guess both your feet and the subject have to be on the ground, or photos of/from the ISS would count. Can you use a tripod? How tall can the tripod be? What does it mean to have a "picture" of something? Clean outline, a darkened patch in the frame? Any light-mediated causal chain between object and subject? What wavelengths are allowed? I assume visible only, but near-IR is visible in very dark light (and scatters less in atmosphere). Can you use flash? If I shine a laser at a distant retroreflector and get anything back, does that count? So MANY potential loopholes...

Sears and Roebucks made endless excuses in the 30 years they were going around the drain. (It started for me when they were soliciting credit card signups on a college campus and denied me for living in student housing... This is the only time I've been denied credit in my life.)

Wondering about these questions last summer I looked at package tracking data for shipments I was receiving and did some simple simulations. I get a lot of packages from warehouses that are half a day's drive away, of course these are not driven directly to me, but it is very reasonable to aggregate traffic in nodes such that it gets to me in two days, you get only a small benefit from adding more nodes and stretching it out to three days. The more vendors that are "bought in" to using a logistic network, the faster the network can run economically because it can run more frequent trucks along the edges of the network. If Amazon thinks it is getting ahead by cutting out providers like UPS because they are unionized and end up building their own inferior network at great expense they may be just cutting off their nose to spite their face.

The book The Goal points out that most people's commonsense gets it completely wrong when it comes to operations and logistics and one thing I'd point out is that, to first order, costs go up when you increase the time things spend in transit because it demands capital being tied up in inventory, paying for warehouse space, etc. It may be cheaper to send something a long distance via truck than by air but if it just coming from New Jersey or Pennsylvania adding days adds cost and opportunities for more quality problems such as packages getting lost, damaged, stolen, burnt up in a fire etc.

Amazon's big problem is it has no moat. Granted there is a two-sided market in the Scamazon Marketplace but in the long term that is an exercise in brand destruction because each time you buy from it you are rolling the dice to get ripped off. Amazon Prime is a bunch of random services that don't hang together, it's the kind of bad idea that Sears would have gotten back in the 1980s. For instance the streaming video doesn't really add to the rest of the offering and there are so many other streaming services that there is nothing special about it. Amazon is going its own way to make a logistics network that might impress your congressman (he'll get half-day delivery from Virginia) but every other retailer is going to team up with UPS and FedEX to have access to a best-of-breed network for their constituents. If Republicans ever wake up to red states being redlined, Amazon's investments in politics will become a huge liability.
# ChatGPT, suggest plans and refinements to ChatGPT.

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or desires. However, some possible ways to improve or refine ChatGPT could include:

* Fine-tuning the model on specific domains or tasks to increase its accuracy and relevance for those areas.

* Incorporating additional data sources and knowledge bases to enhance its understanding and responses.

* Using techniques such as active learning or human-in-the-loop methods to continually improve the model's performance based on real-world feedback.

* Exploring different model architectures or training methods to find the best balance between performance, efficiency, and computational resources.

* Integrating with other AI technologies such as reinforcement learning, generative models, or transfer learning to create new and innovative applications for ChatGPT.

# What do you think about the common complaint that ChatGPT lectures people on morality so frequently to the point of it being an ineffective tool?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, but I can observe that some users may find it distracting or annoying if I provide moral or ethical lectures in my responses. However, providing guidance and advice on moral or ethical issues can also be seen as a valuable aspect of my abilities, as long as it is done in an appropriate and context-sensitive manner. Ultimately, it depends on the specific use case and the preferences of the individual user. If the frequency of moral or ethical lectures is found to be a problem, it might be possible to adjust the model's behavior or incorporate specific user preferences in its responses.
I routinely get eyerolls for asking people to ask me first before putting pictures of me up on the internet.

WYDM exactly by iOS shortcut? I use a Mac but only an android phone. Do you mean for mobile usage?

> i have found it to be terrible when it comes to something simple, like constructing a regex.

Oh yeah, agreed. It's not good for super specific stuff like that. But more like, I write a weird loop and ask if there is a more idiomatic way to do the above. Or I just describe what I want to do and say, "list three options for accomplishing that". It's great for "feature discovery" essentially. I find it complementary to copilot.

You've made a mistake that most people do with hippies. Hippies were not political. Student protestors and hippies are seen as the same thing even though they're not. Hippies didn't go to protest.

4chan is another place you mischaracterize due to the mainstream media. Social rejects go there. Of every kind. You probably ignored the fact that there's been an LGBT board for more than a decade since you don't go there.
$20 is the very first price tier introduced at the very outset of what could be one of the most powerful companies of our generation. Google.com adding a single yellow box with an advertisement seemed reasonable, too.

Anyone else having serious concerns about the direction this is going? At my wife's company they have already largely replaced an hourly data classification job with ChatGPT. This announcement is the first in an inevitable series of moves to monetize a technology that directly replaces human knowledge work. I'm not saying that those jobs need to be artificially protected or that painful changes should be avoided (basically all tech workers automate human work to some extent) but I'm really concerned about the wealth gap and the extent to which we are pouring gas on that fire. Income inequality looks just like it did before the Great Depression, and now we're handing the power to replace human work over to those who can afford to pay for it.
China isn't interested in it being economical. They have different goals with their systems.

Notice I also said that its not economical _right now_. In the future it may very well become that.

I'm sure it's a failure of imagination on my part, but when you say you might drop Netflix in favor of using the ai generator tools, my interest is piqued! What's your average play session like?
I maintain Python code bases for a living, and feel that the language has simply been pushed too far. Static typing in Python doesn't give you the advantage of actually static typing and even IDE support is -- well it's not terrible, just not great.

The thing is, once we go through all this static typing exercise in Python, we get no performance advantages, and the whole thing seems bolted on, with worse semantics than most modern typed languages. And yes, it can stifle undeniable advantages a dynamic language like Python can provide.

Python remains a fantastic prototyping and scripting language, but my feeling is that it now handles more than it should.
uh - no product is going to meet the goals of avoiding slave and child labor and hazardous work conditions? not sure why you're going to bat for that besides to defend that it's hugely profitable. i think many products outside portable devices do meet that goal but it's not in service of market competition and isn't a scalable solution without a bigger systemic change, so i do agree in a sense with saying that at scale no product meets that goal sure.
Huh cool thanks I didn’t know that! I guess it’s just another action and not something “native” to Zapier (so if you want to later connect it to some off-the-shelf action you can’t).
