After the initial 60 seconds of shock that nobody is at the wheel, the rest of the ride makes you quickly realize how much better AI is at driving than regular humans.

I've very interested in this, and completely agree we are still trying to evolve the horse carriage without realizing we can move away from it.

How can I follow up on what you're building? Would you be open to having a chat? I've found your github, but let me know how if there's a better way to contact you.

It doesn't mention how scrolling would work - is that supported?

I remember about 12-15 years ago, as a weekend project, I reached out to the creator of OpenSubtitles dot org and asked him for a dump of all the subtitles, which he promptly and happily provided. I then indexed them all in elasticsearch (it was a pretty nascent tech at the time), and created a movie quote finder, with timestamps. E.g. you could search for "i love you" and it would tell you all the movies and timestamps that phrase would be uttered. My lazy ass didn't go beyond a localhost version, but I still remember fondly of having gotten that working, it felt like magic at the time.

In most EU countries we have multi-gigabit internet (for cheap too). Current offers are around ~5 GBIT speeds for 20 bucks a month.

What do you mean? It's basically steel blades and sharp/pointy edges on wheels. I'm sure other vehicles will hurt if they hit a pedestrian at speed, but even getting hit at 5 mph by the cybertruck could create very dangerous wounds.

Thought the same until I saw your comment. For those in the same boat: Wiz, Inc. is a cloud security startup.

New comment by gnrlst in "Today's Cheap AI Services Won't Last"

I have pretty much the opposite take: years from now we'll tell our grandchildren that the AI APIs we used to use were paid BY THE TOKEN!

We're in the dialup days of AI, where capabilities are in the hands of very few companies because hardware and training costs are prohibitively expensive. Sure, the apps we use are heavily subsidized by investment funding and the competition is very fierce. I'll also concede that 99% of the AI startups today will fail. But that doesn't mean only the 1% will be left: new ones will continuously enter the arena, compete for attention, and to do that they'll need to lower their prices. All the while, hardware costs will decrease, and incumbents like NVIDIA will inevitably grow stagnant and others will come to eat their lunch. It's the circle of (business) life.

Click to edit is broken, felt it was read only until i realized you had to click the text-filled area. Make the whole quadrant clickable.

"pluckable strings". Don't really need anything more exhaustive than that. The discovery process is part of the fun.

gnrlst — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 17:33:13 +0000

Mood is too coarse of a filter - I have a feeling in mind that I want the book to help me amplify, not an overall mood. E.g. feeling adventurous vs. "excited".

I saw more than one post about people maxing out credit cards to go long on Bitcoin or other crypto, ALREADY anticipating they will not pay back those cards and just go to collections to pay back 30-40 cents on the dollar. It's like it's become the norm to default.
