Look, the graphics are bad but the gameplay is pretty mediocre so it evens out

Do you like the sauce and cheese part of the pizza the most? Deep dish is basically an Italian seasoning tomato & cheese pie.

This reads like that story of how ChatGPT hired a guy on Taskrabbit to solve a captcha that was entirely woven out of wholesale bullshit. I’ll believe it when researchers demonstrate it independently.

The overconfident tone is baked in. LLMs don’t have knowledge or world models, and all text they produce is nothing more than statistical relation of input to output based on frequency of appearance and semantic closeness. Therefore you can train the things to lean towards doubtfulness (nobody will use them) or confidence (wow, it must be true if it’s this certain). It’s abusing the human tendency to anthropomorphize to sell a really shitty product.

You’ve never gone and explored a thrift shop or an antique store? Or stopped at a roadside produce stall some farmer put up to operate on the honor system? Or just fucked around in a mall with some friends? You don’t need to purchase anything to shop, but the act of looking at stuff is inherently kind of engaging and so corporations try to lure you into taking the stuff home.

Tech bros are so distant from human experience they forgot that people actually enjoy shopping because it’s one of the few places they have any fucking control left

Keep in mind that it’ll always regress to the most average output when you try to use it for creative endeavors. It sandblasts ideas into a nice round shape that’s identical to every other idea it works on.

It’s a lot of stuff that was done to get various powerful sects in alignment and then it stuck for the next forever years. Like, the ex cathedra ability of the Pope to proclaim an inviolable infallible supreme truth from God is only from 1870.

It’s the Iranian nafo equivalent

They never bought the RAM, they put out a letter of intent to buy up to 40% of the global supply. Because business leaders are equal parts malicious and stupid, this lead to a run on RAM before prices spiked due to low supply, causing a price spike due to low supply.

A letter of intent is not a contact and is not binding. It’s the equivalent of a New Year’s Resolution blog post.

The fabs themselves work on multi-year contracts where the buyer commits to purchasing a certain capacity of the total production. If they expect to produce 100 million sticks in a year and someone offers to buy 40 million of them, it’s still in their interest to have many buyers in case that customer can’t follow through or backs out.

TBPN did 5 mil in ad revenue last year and one of the owners is a friend of Altman. Hundreds of millions is ludicrous for a fucking podcast, like even Rogan didn’t get this much and that was already a stupidly uneven deal

If they’ve got 100 packages on a van and each costs $100, that’s an extra $350 in exchange for paying an extra $50 in gas.

Space toilets are pretty notorious. No gravity to assist the turd away from your doodoo ass, no water to suppress the odor, and again no gravity to remove the turd down the pipes.

That’s more Arduino etc, raspis are a baby general purpose computer. You could use them as web servers, or to host bots, or as file servers, or as home automation controllers, or as network-level ad blockers, as proxies or VPNs, as SDRs, as game consoles for retro games, as weather stations, as security hardware (e.g. network scanning for open wifi), and so on
