OK, the moon has almost circled the earth entirely and no one has pointed this out yet, so I guess it's up to me.
The moon and sun are even more different in relative size than the moon and earth. But if you stand about an earth orbit minus earth radius away from the sun and a moon orbit minus earth radius away from the moon, their apparent size is within a range that includes them looking exactly the same size (since both the earth's and moon's orbits are slightly elliptical, so it varies a bit with either one potentially looking bigger than the others).
Yeah it's just token prediction all the way down. Asking it repeatedly to not do something might have even made it more likely to predict tokens that would do that thing.
The tech community came up with a technical solution to the ad problem. If the solution you're looking for isn't technical, why is your focus on the tech community?
Anyone can learn this shit. Use any search engine, type "how to block internet ads", and you'll see results with "firefox" and "ublock origin", that can then be put into "how to get" follow up searches.
The current state of ads is being accepted by those who don't block them. Everyone who does block them (or refuses to visit ad cancer sites) has cut off that source of revenue, but those who just choose to accept the default option enable them by not just seeing the ads but even sometimes clicking them and buying shit.
Yeah, it wouldn't need to be an llm or nn. But a flow chart questionnaire that can dynamically add new nodes can be considered a form of machine learning.
I got a metal ice cube tray and while it is a bit of a pain to use (it has two seperate pieces, the tray bottom and a grid attached to an arm and hinge to break the ice out, but good luck getting it all back together without removing all the ice), my ice just tastes like ice. It's better than the silicone molds but also the older plastic molds. I used to notice ice would get an off taste if left in the tray for long but now that never happens.
I'm convinced at this point that plastic has no business being in contact with things we consume. I'm curious if my attempts to reduce/avoid it have had any impact on how much microplastics have ended up in my brain lol.
Edit: the metal tray in the meme looks like it would be very frustrating to use.
Edit2: nm that's not even metal, just another plastic one
Could even just ask the AI to describe what they need to do if they are just giving it the file link. At this point, you could probably even just tell it to be aware of AI traps in the prompt (though an experiment with gpt 4-o mini just ignored the prompt to ignore anything out of context).
I know you're joking but is it even up? I haven't driven in NYC, but my experience in other large cities is that unless you're parking at a friend's place, having a car in town can be expensive and annoying when you want to park it close to your destination. And that's assuming no one fucks with it while you're away from it.
Though it does depend on how much the tolls are. Hell, parking might even be cheaper now that demand is down, unless they've started repurposing parking space already.
My ex's doctor refused to refer her to a specialist because he didn't think she had the condition they specialized in. Until I went along one time and just asked "what makes you rule it out?"
At that point, he admitted knowing nothing about the condition and said he'd do some research. Which he did do and promptly referred her to the specialist because it matched her weird symptoms very well and she's since been diagnosed with two variants of it (one from each parent).
And the sad part is that doctor was her better newer doctor after getting rid of one whose advice would have killed her because he didn't realize the birth control he wanted her to finish the course of was causing her organs to shut down because he didn't bother with the follow up blood tests he was supposed to do or take her severe symptoms seriously.
And medical diagnosis is one of the areas very well suited to automation, the only thing is answering some of the binary questions in the flowchart involve giving and interpreting complex tests. But a machine could decide what tests need to be done and would probably do a better job than a lot of doctors out there as long as they don't add a bunch of conclusions like "patient is probably just looking for opiates" or "pain can't be that bad if the patient is still able to function and talk about it" or "it's never rare condition".
Then the human doctors can be left to do the interesting work or find a new career if all they wanted to do is say whatever words will make the patient go away (and pay their bill).
Plus legal fees, salaries of everyone at the office (which is a bit more than app development costs when you think of all the middle and upper managers involved), leasing office space itself (and other related costs), assuming they haven't gone full remote. Marketing, lobbying (at national, regional, and local levels, since individual cities decide whether or not to allow them at this point), PR, finances, paying the team that convinces the investors to throw more money at it instead of pulling the plug (though I bet sunk cost fallacy does a lot of legwork for them).
Though I do wonder about profitability. My cousin wanted to start a similarish app (though for connecting yard work providers with seekers) and asked me to join him. I ended up declining because a) there's already a bunch of players in the area, both online and locally, b) the legal liabilities involved in providing a service where people go to someone's house and either party could be a sociopath, pervert, or thief. I figured lawyers would end up getting most of the money.
Those also apply to rideshare and delivery services. They thought they could drive taxi services and local delivery services out of business, but didn't think that others could come along and do the same thing, plus for delivery services, at least, operational costs are already pretty low and adding the infrastructure at the scale required to serve all the areas they want to serve is in addition to all the normal costs. Local delivery services I knew about from before uber and doordash just used cell phones to call the one or two drivers directly and since it was all so informal, they could add less legal options like selling drugs to make even more money, as long as they made sure to build a relationship of trust with clients before opening that up. The online services need to avoid a relationship between driver and client or they risk getting cut out entirely.
And personally, when I need a ride, I'll still call a cab because I don't want the services to win because I know they just want to build a monopoly and charge even more than the taxis were.
