As a fiction author, I don’t feel gpt writes good fiction at all. It’s a non-fiction tool, just one that lies to you constantly. Half of what it says is a lie…
I’ve been sharing videos like this for a month or two
I have a 2015 MacBook Air I abandoned recently for being so painfully slow to use that I had almost not touched it for months. I have an iPad Air 2 that is basically unusable at this point. Both are 2-3 orders of magnitudes faster than those old computers that work instantly.
But windows and web apps are super slow now too
Think of all the landfills and wasted work hours earning the money needed to fill those landfills. The heavy and rare metals
This is proof that if computers were 10x faster, they would run slower than ours today, because in the past we’ve seen that be true over and over. The software companies will just make heavier and heavier programs and operating systems until we have gained nothing but a significant amount of co2 emissions
What about upvoting and downvoting in hn? Do you find that to be positive?
Personally, I find I have to work to not write striking statements because I know they give me chance of getting a ton of upvotes. If I’m tired, the temptation is harder to resist
As a non Twitter user, I’m curious how this social experiment will play out.
Twitter has been a pit of outrage, fuelling mobs to attack people for so long — will this new version of it be any worse? I’m curious to find out (from the sidelines)
I was under the impression that cars died in the cold due to the battery dying. Are evs more reliable because they are likely to be plugged in over night?
As I’m sitting here reading this, it is -35 C after windchill. The reason we didn’t get an ev is because we are getting the sense that the companies that make them do not take Canadaian weather into account
It looks like some of those manufacturers only lose 3% of their range in weather like this, but that’s estimated. The verified numbers are far lower?
Art is there to create experiences for people. If somebody writes a novel in the woods, but nobody is there to read it, does it really make sound?
