    Sure, but within the context of solo piano it's commonly played as a blazing virtuosic show-off piece. My point was Lang Lang managed to play at warp speed while still preserving voicing, dynamics, and feel in a way that I think is lost by Wang at the pace she chose.

    This popped up in a friend's ad feed. It's got to actually be a sex toy, right?

    Chat GPT AI

    No. It takes a month on 1000+ GPUs and $5M of electricity to retrain the model. We're years out from these things having real access to live data, though I'm sure they'll create some kind of module that creates an interface over standard search results.

    It's only a scam if they're dishonest about the product. This is clearly a novelty expensive turd, like those $1000 gold-plated pizzas. Entertainment via setting money on fire.

    In fairness, I'm sure it depends a lot on use case. I have no idea what fraction of google searches are looking for established knowledge, but it's probably high. And while it might not be technically part of the model I'm sure someone will come up with a plugin that partially integrates...

    People saying that ChatGPT is going to replace Google search don't understand how ChatGPT works. It's (mostly) great for information that is already in its data set, but cannot incorporate new information without entirely re-training the model. New website? New product? News story? Forum post...

    Don't do this. It's almost certainly cheaper to rent or downsize than lose an unnecessary 10% of your retirement.

    Chat GPT AI

    Right, at the moment these things are best described as infinite bullshitting engines. That's probably good enough for use cases like fiction and art, but obviously not where there's a ground truth that must be matched (although sometimes it succeeds even there). There's clearly also some...

    Chat GPT AI

    It's a text generation machine, not a truth machine. It doesn't actually understand anything in a philosophical sense. You ask it to produce words on a topic and that's what it does.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If the F-150 Lightning is any indication, maybe ~120-150+ miles depending on trailer weight?

    Criticizing them... from a new iPhone while simultaneously ogling the performance of their 20% AAPL portfolio. Much like oil, if people actually gave a shit they'd be making different purchasing decisions.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If older product is any indication, a Toyota should last until the sun burns out. I have a 2001 Camry that Just. Will. Not. Die. In 22 years the only problem is that two of the window motors failed. It's a constant war between being deathly tired of the car and being too cheap to get rid of a...

    I'm trying to do some near-term updates on the house I just bought and it's a motherfucker finding anyone reputable who has a schedule opening in the next six months, never mind next six weeks. It's been like that for the last 2-3 years, according to them.

    While perhaps technically true in some cases, 99% of what is labeled "squirting" has to be from the bladder simply based on volume. https://www.vice.com/en/article/dpwqaq/scientists-perform-first-major-study-on-whether-squirting-is-just-peeing

    I was somewhat under-employed while my kids were in that age range (perk/curse of self-employment). I just played games at my desk with the kids napping in a front-mounted carrier.

    Is it a scam? I don't think they're misrepresenting anything. It's just obviously a product that no one should buy at that price. I read somewhere that it's ~2 hours of content, lol.

    As far as I can tell, I've been driving the market for the last few years. Every time I started thinking about buying a house the market would tank before I liquidated my down payment. Now that I'm finally committed and liquidated, the market jumps. #ReverseSuaveREIT

    Dunno. "Space rocks smaller than about 25 meters (about 82 feet) will most likely burn up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere and cause little or no damage." https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/overview/fastfacts.html

    They didn't know it was there because there's no need to look for asteroids this small because they can't hurt us. Anything smaller than 25 meters wide burns up.
