ccheney | 1 year ago | on: Using an 8K TV as a Monitor

Have been sporting a 4K LG CX48 OLED since ~Sept, 2020 best monitor decision ever. I've got two HDMI out cables, 1 going to my gaming rig and the other for my Macbook where I do my work as a developer.

I haven't noticed any burn-in or dead pixels. You need to set it up for success, enable all the burn-in prevention settings the monitor provides (static image darkening, pixel shifting&cleaning). It's also a great idea to do other things such as sleeping the monitor after 1min if inactivity, no screensaver (or just black), black desktop background, hide taskbars, etc

edit: to add, i have the monitor mounted to the wall and about 1" above the height of my desk[1] - this puts the center of the screen directly at eye level

This is absolutely correct. I'm considering removing that part of my pre-prompt because it's flaky and loses context when the conversation falls out of the window.

I find myself restarting conversations a lot as they get too long.

It would be very useful to me if I could have something like a conversation context tree where I could branch off various threads in order to maintain the "main context trunk" of a conversation but on a new branch. This would allow you to have "sidebar" conversations that veer off topic.

When this happens in the ChatGPT UI I tend to scroll all the way back up to the input which steered the conversation (in a different but useful direction), I then edit that input which lobs off the off-topic branch and continues from the main context trunk.

Many states are already addressing this by imposing additional fees on EVs. For example, states like California, Minnesota, Illinois, and Texas have implemented annual fees for EV owners, which are specifically designed to offset the loss in gas tax revenue and contribute to road maintenance.

In my state (MN) I'm actually paying more in annual EV fees/taxes then if I drove an ICE vehicle of comparable value

We need to start ingesting raw scientific data through these models and see what it comes up with. What could these models identify by parsing through raw JWST or Hubble data? Or training against every published scientific paper? Is anyone doing this sort of thing already?

Geohot is working w/ AMD and essentially pleading with them to fix their driver stacks - check out his interview on Latent Space

It's kinda strange seeing some people link advancements in transformer models with stuff like cryptos and NFTs. You've gotta ask, where are these thoughts coming from? Plus, the ongoing use of the 'stochastic parrot' argument is starting to feel a bit repetitive in these discussions.

ccheney | 2 years ago | on: Valve is not willing to publish games with AI generated content anymore?

Seems shortsighted and overly limiting to me. Perhaps in this specific case it makes sense?

What's the difference?

A) Human creates artwork in the style of [insert artist here]

B) Computer creates artwork in the style of [insert artist here]

Both "trained" against existing copyrighted works except one is human. Is this to "save jobs"?
