Hiring someone to paint your house? Sure, it’s worth it or not. But anyone in the advice-giving business can easily end up in a relationship with their clients that is more like a therapist.

Leela without search supposedly plays around expert level, but I thought the no-search Leela approach ran out of gas around there. Without search there means evaluating 1 board position per move. The engine in the paper (per the abstract) use a big LLM instead of a Leela style DCNN.
> Is there a way to vary the [UE] AutoLOD for longer shots?

UE5 (and other 4d graphics and physics simulators) automatically reduce the LOD Level-of-Detail for objects in the distance.

Is that LOD parametric with StageCraft software?

(For example, reportedly Cities Skyline 2 is bad slow because they included meshes for characters' teeth and expected AutoLOD to just make it work on the computers kids tend to have. It doesn't work on reasonable machines because the devs all have fast pro GPUs to develop on, so they don't know what the UX is for the average family (that would be happy to turn down the polygon count themselves for what we can learn from the gameplay). Having game devs dogfood with real-world devices that families afford would be good for these firms too.).

Hopefully they'll continue to sell games through non-Epic stores that people have already invested in.

And hopefully, they'll make sure their products work with Proton and thus popular Linux-based handheld gaming devices.

The problem being solved here is that, no matter how many mirrors of any configuration one has, they are still a squishy human who will eventually make a mistake, given that mirrors are used hundreds of times per driving trip. Or they bad-luck into a situation where another driver changes the situation faster than a reasonable, human mirror-checking regimen would reveal.

But this is just someone who's read the title of a BBC article about the paper and basically saying "yeah but science is hard". We know it's hard.

In the last year or so, I've had a disturbing number of experiences with various large companies messing up or violating contract and responding with, essentially, "f you, sue me."

I actually have a legal dispute going, and have heard of others, where the company responds with various forms of stalling and stonewalling in the hopes that you run out of patience or money - and if you don't - well you're a small exception to the rule and just the cost of doing business.

We need to start treating these examples for the criminal wrongdoing that they are instead of simply terrible customer service. And then, if the state doesn't react accordingly, we need to grapple with the fact that we live in countries with unreliable (or compromised?) legal systems.
> How cool would it be to have the public transit of the future be a point to point

I don't really see any benefit to this being public transportation.

When people go out with their cars, they expect their car to be there when they are done. They expect to be able to stop at a store, buy some things, stop at another store and buy some more, leaving their first purchase in the car while they keep shopping.

Making this work is less "public transportation" and more "short term rental" like Car2Go. Which was a shitty service that I hated using.

If we get self driving cars, I am still personally going to want to buy my own, not rely on some public transportation fleet.

It seems more like they're replacing 5+ hours of business development activities with ~5 hours of coding.
They mimic by estimating the patterns of knowledge & restructuring it into something that looks right.

They don't understand anything + calling generative "intelligence" is disingenuous. It's pattern replication. It's like fractal artwork with a happy interface.

Not many of us touch this stuff bare metal to final product ; it's complicated, too complicated for most individuals to work on solo. I wish I cared enough to learn the math to prove out my logical understanding.

Big tech cares about profit too much to actually document what these models are, how they draw their conclusions. Until independent researchers who care to document mathematically:

Probability of next segment being part of generated pattern, logical connections across known patterns that attach to current /previous pattern

We will continue to have this generative farce propped up on a pedestal, gilded with pyrite, and profits poured into a half-baked pattern bruteforcer.

I beat on the tech and badmouth it, but I'm still using it to make money. :) I'll ride the bandwagon until something better comes along. It's a means to an end.
I can confirm this, when the first post was up this morning I checked and Bard was still not available.

I'm excited to see it is now, and I'm looking forward to test driving Gemini for the next two months.

I'm curious why it is now available, maybe the privacy policy changes for Gemini resolved the issue.

> it is was a bit worse than gpt 3.5 (at least in the same prompts that we already had)

I'm willing to believe that Gemini isn't as good, but my impression was that you expect a new model to not perform as well on your existing prompts because the training set and training methodology is different. That's why one of the major risks of an AI business is vendor lock in, because you spend so much time optimizing a prompt for a specific model and you'll have to redo much of that work in order to switch vendors.

That you gave up so quickly when trialing a new model suggests the problem is even worse than I thought—you're locked in to OpenAI because every other model will always look worse to you, even if it would be better if you took the time to tune a new prompt.
I’m watching this happen to someone I know. Similar stories abound.

The way they rack up so much spending:

1) Cult-like sales tactics. I don’t mean that as a simple put down, I mean literally a lot of the same tactics cults use to gain recruits. “If it’s not working, you just haven’t committed hard enough, this is your fault” is universal, but far from the only example.

2) A pattern of coaches-coaching-coaches. Almost nobody makes money coaching normal people, in these systems. The actual market for that is tiny, and the number of people offering such services is enormous. Newbies drop out after muddling along for a year or two (paying coaches before and after starting their own thing) OR “graduate” to trying to coach coaches (for which they’ll need a coach, who will also try to refer them to their coach when they’ve gotten as much out of them as they can—it’s almost a self-organizing pyramid scheme). This intersects with #1 because they constantly demonize ways out of this cycle, especially getting a normal job (“ew, gross, yuck, don’t you want to be your own boss?”)

> In my experience, the majority of these type of uncertified coaches don't go out of their way to mislead people into thinking they have more training than they do.

Oh, and this part? Lying about their personal history, past entrepreneurial work, success at coaching, sometimes media coverage they’ve had or clients they’ve worked with, et c, is nearly universal. Many also hold bullshit credentials from other coaches who’ve reached the top of the pyramid. They also often have very misleading offers, especially for group-course sorts of things.

I’ve been going down a bit of a rabbit hole on this since discovering the whole thing exists, and have been surprised both at how huge it is, and how similar all the people doing it look, as far as the ways they exaggerate to “sell themselves” and the ways they scam with their offerings (but if there’s one thing these scam courses teach, it’s… how to scam. Like, really, that’s often the only material curriculum)

[edit edit] oh and you’re unlikely to “naturally” end up seeing this stuff if you’re a guy. The industry is overwhelmingly women, selling to other women. Many bill themselves as “helping women succeed and become entrepreneurs” and otherwise have a feminist coat of paint on their operation, which is incredibly gross because their business model is scamming women.

Lol it's 9 miles. The anti-car motte is "just put a little bit more funding into buses and it'll be great", but the indefensible subtext is that we also need to abandon our homes, our present communities, and get relocated into high density urban zones.

I've been there, done that. I used to commute from Philly to Radnor on SEPTA's regional rail. I like trains but the amount of time I burned every day on the train, let alone walking back and forth to the stations, was simply a waste of my life. Reading on the train is great and all but I'd rather have that free time at home.

I was just thinking this.

I mean, we're talking about tracking those hanging out at places where terrorists are known to gather, and associating with said terrorists, however casually? That's just military sense. Are we just supposed to let the known terrorist go to the bar, have his/her coded conversations with an unknown subject, and then let that subject go on his/her merry way without looking any further into the matter? That would be naive in the extreme.
> Is there a reason you're so certain that they are being disingenuous?

Well, for starters because 5 hours/month amounts to almost nothing in any non trivial project.

I am not saying this is dishonesty or a scam, I think it is a legitimate way of marketing your services. But I would be the fool if I thought that there would be no followup.
> When an industry consists of hundreds of small- and medium-sized enterprises, it is a mob, a rabble. Hundreds of companies can’t agree on what to tell Parliament or Congress or the Commission.

I don't think that's fair. We should be going wherever our customers or users are.

And that's dangerous; give people a lot of advanced options and they will inadvertedly use them, and nobody will dare to touch it, and it'll cause a lot of headaches, etc etc etc. Scala made this mistake as well. Go is the antithesis to TS and Scala, and I hope they keep it up.

Uh, it’s revisionism to say that third party apps were slow, and therefore the iPhone was slow, when the iPhone was out for an entire year before the App Store launched. I’m talking about the original iPhone at launch, not capability that was added a year later. I don’t care what the reviews said, I had one and experienced it, after several years of owning other phones. The reviews also moaned loudly about the software keyboard, which I thought was great on day one. It’s not revisionism that I (and lots of other people) have a different opinion of the iPhone launch than you do.
