One metric you might want to add is the network effect: how much of a difference does it make to the user experience to join a large instance (or the same instance most of your friends are on) compared to a small or self-hosted one? (Or in other words—does the nature of the platform software potentially incentivize consolidation?)

I honestly feel like I wasted my one minute of typing this.

Good news—this one weird trick can make you the fastest typist in the universe!

It’s been towed beyond the environment.

Earth travels at 107,826km/ph

In that reference frame, the speed of the ISS varies between 79,826 and 135,826 km/h.

While the project is still in early stages, we’re told there’s an internal prototype focused on ChatGPT’s image generation that has a social feed.

Dammit—I can see that actually taking off with many audiences, if it generates an eye-catching fake image to go with every text post.

Goats will only eat grass if there are no other green plants accessible.

I realize it won’t be like this forever

You can always keep moving to smaller instances.

Great—let’s test it on politicians and law enforcement first.

Ok… but then what’s the purpose of not having three hands?

We thwarted two aerial attacks that the enemy was preparing to launch

That kind of sounds like they had inside intelligence—did the Defense Department accidentally add them to a planning thread?

And by an LLM you mean the people who train and tune the LLM to generate the type of responses they like.

Hmm… I just got shingles last year. Does that have a similar effect as vaccination (since the vaccine is based on an attenuated live virus, and re-infection is practically unheard-of), or does it mean I now have an elevated risk?

Yeah, jpeg converts to lab (or something similar, I think). But the dimensions are the same: one channel for lightness, and then a number of channels one less than the total number of sampled frequencies to capture the rest of the color space.

Spectral JPEG XL utilizes a technique used with human-visible images, a math trick called a discrete cosine transform (DCT), to make these massive files smaller […] it then applies a weighting step, dividing higher-frequency spectral coefficients by the overall brightness (the DC component), allowing less important data to be compressed more aggressively.

This all sounds like standard jpeg compression. Is it just jpeg with extra channels?

So they’re adding phone capabilities to Tamagotchi?

Ok—to the extent that SVG is HTML, the variant of HTML that it is is a flavor of XML.

More accurately, both are flavors of XML.

Also, be sure to fully specify the location—one time I just put “Athens” and ended up in Athens, Georgia.

I like Molly White’s recent take, that it might be more productive to treat this as a labor issue instead of a copyright issue (at least in principle). Even if the AI corporations aren’t technically re-selling copyrighted works, they’re still profiting from the authors’ unpaid labor.
