I appreciate the response!

I’ve definitely used tools like LocalStack before and when it works it’s great, but sadly doesn’t usually provide a 1-to-1 replacement.

Seeing your different approaches is helpful and I will have to see what elements I can pull into my current projects!

Hey OP, it looks like you’re the author of the post? If so I’m curious how you handle cloud services like AWS or Azure when taking this approach? One of the major issues I’ve run into when working with teams is how to test or evaluate against cloud services without creating an entire infrastructure in the cloud for testing.

Not sure if you’re serious, but they were making a joke because Intel, who makes chips, is a competitor to TMSC the chip manufacturer from the article.

So they played on that relationship by treating the word Intel in your “thanks for the Intel” comment as meaning the company.

While you’re probably right, I think it’s total numbers that probably matter more for these things. Reddit could loose a number of niche communities and most users wouldn’t notice due to its size. They can also hemmorage more people and content before it becomes apparent to the average user.

This is why I hate the way the media and people talk about these issues. Here you say Lebanon, but the title is talking about Hezbollah. But honestly I’m sure Israel looks at it as Hezboollah is just a part of Lebanon. Why isn’t Israel allowed to defend itself from missiles being launched from Lebanon.

I mean it’s a legitimate political group in Lebanon that’s firing missiles at Israel. Why is that considered okay, what is Israel supposed to do?

All the evolution in AI right now is just trying different model designs and/or data. It’s not one model that is being continuous refined or modified. Each iteration is just a new set of static weights/numbers that defines it’s calculations.

If the models were changing/updating through experience maybe what you’re writing would make sense, but that’s not the state of AI/ML development.

This approach has been around for a while and there are a number of applications/systems that were using the approach. The thing is that it’s not a different model, it’s just a different use case.

Its the same way OpenAI handle math, they recognize it’s asking for a math solution and actually have it produce a python solution and run it. You can’t integrate it into the model because they’re engineering solutions to make up for the models limitations.

Yeah, I was interested in the idea cause I have a saturn which is a bit beaten up, but if I can’t play the disc’s I have why would I bother.

I mean I can list a lot of things AI (and I’ll limit it to Transformers, the advancement that drives LLMs) has enabled:

• Audio Transcription
• Greatly improved language translation
• Improved computer vision, in some situations
• Combined with diffusion models has enabled targeted image generation, which we already know is being used in media and ads.

AI isn’t a scam, but it’s being oversold and it’s limitations are being purposefully hidden. That being said, it is changing how things are done and that’s not going to stop. We’re still seeing impacts from CNNs, one of the major AI/ML breakthroughs from over a decade ago, make impacts.

What was so obvious in that instance was the board members trying to push him out were calling out the lack of openness OpenAI was trending towards. They were literally calling him out for not upholding the vision of why the company was founded.

All the engineers clearly saw their payday slipping away and revolted for that reason. Can’t say I blame them, but it was a scenario where the board was actually doing the right thing and everyone turned on them for profit.

Originally all their work was supposed to be published and shared with the world, hence the “open” in OpenAI. However somewhere along the way they made a for-profit break off of the original company and started pulling everything in that direction.

Yeah, nothing like overinflating the value of things to make your 12k retro console emulator bust sound impressive. Pretty sure stopping a single shipping container from China would find more contraband.

It was sooo frustrating cause they shut down Harris at one point, like stop letting Trump steam roll you and be consistent on who can speak.

That’s actually why I went with the Xbox this cycle. I got a series x for the large TV and a $200 (on sale) series S for the smaller one (although we usually just use a computer monitor and play side by side on the couch).

I mean the counter arguement to that is the joy cons joysticks break all the time by just using them.

Microsoft actually ported their keyboard to android, called “Microsoft SwiftKey” or similar. It’s a great keyboard, but apparently now has copilot ಠ_ಠ

Hahaha fair point

What’s also weird is Minecraft is 15 years old at this point. That means you’ve basically got a huge age range (kids to adults) within the target audience. Why isn’t it targeted at the entire fanbase?

Forgotten City is another interesting game, that like Outer Wilds, has you piecing together a mystery. Hadn’t seen it mentioned yet.

For an older classic in the mystery/no coddling space there is the Myst series. I’ve only played the first, but they’re challenging puzzles/mystery point-and-click games.

I watched a fascinating video describing Tunic, Outer Wilds, and Sekiro as knowledge based rougelikes. Where in playing the game you learn information (or enemy patterns in Sekiro’s case) that make additional playthroughs vastly different.

If you haven’t, watch some Tunic speed runs, as once you know where certain things are you can almost break the game without actually breaking it.
