Which macronutrients and micronutrients are those?

I don’t know what I’m talking about but it seems to me OpenAI is heavily emphasizing productization of LLMs. Dots, ChatGPT Work, scheduled tasks, in-app projects etc.

> They too will tell you to ask the AI

I’m sorry you had that experience. It sounds like your supervisors don’t take their job seriously.

That’s exactly my question reading this. Granted I don’t know much about the training side ofbLLMs, so maybe there’s more code changes involved there than I expect, but in terms of public-facing software, they make, what, a couple chat apps, a product website, and an API?

I couldn't see it either, then I clicked the 'Antigravity' button in the top right, switched back to the main screen, and it appeared in the model selector.

This is in the Gemini app on macOS.

Weirdly, the post OP linked says:

Fine on arc search (which I think is just WebKit) on iOS.

Thanks for sharing. Is that Wonder or Wonder Full (barf)? Wonder full is supposed to be the one close to Opus 5.5

Thanks! For some reason it was behind a paywall for me earlier — maybe I used another link.

Would love to read the original research paper if anyone has access to it. My university unfortunately doesn’t.

Where does that come from? Why are people who happen to hold the same passport as you more deserving of your care/attention/resources?

The word 'skitzo' is pretty offensive to people who actually suffer from schizophrenia, maybe try 'unhinged' or 'bizarre' or something.

I'm not getting any audio, bunch of 404s on loop.m4a... anyone else?

EDIT: seems like British audio does work

Why not fund Congolese educations against? Why not fund Indians' educations instead? Why not fund Cubans' educations instead?

Does it matter? Are these not all people deserving of education?

Blindsight is probably my favorite novel, and I liked echopraxia fine but it was definitely of a different class to me. The worst parts of blindsight are Watts' descriptives (where is everyone right know? What does this area look like? What actions are currently happening?) and Echopraxia suffers from this even more than Blindsight already did.

This is a stupid thing to latch on to but why is everything an “experience” now? It’s a fucking programming dashboard, not a three-star Michelin restaurant.
