GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds,...
Maybe this is wishful thinking but this, at first glance, seems like a sign that we’re already entering the LLM plateau. Like when they got the point with phones that each new version is just more cameras, smoother UI, and harder glass.
When I had to start using MS for work, among the first things I did was turn off all clipboard formatting capture in office apps. I can count on 2 hands the number of times in my life I’ve wanted the destination formatting to match the source - plus office sucks at it and half the apps don’t respect ctrl+shift+v either.
I still probably won’t use this (on purpose), but it sounds a bit better.
I tried to sell a five digit id in college on ebay when I really needed some cash, and they terminated the auction on me. It was over $200 in mid-00’s money. I’m not still bitter.
Transcription4 panels, arranged 2x2. The first panel contains a picture of Jean-Luc Picard holding up a frame containing a number of medals. It has the text “These are your Starfleet merit badges, are they not, Mr. Data?” The second panel has a picture of Data, with the text “Yes, Captain.” The third is a close image of...
Oh, I really want to see Riker and Avasarala in scenes together now. I think she’d take to him as fast as she did to Cotyar… not as quick as she took a liking to Bobby though.
And she’d appreciate the Enterprise’s gravity plating.
Donald Trump offered to weaken climate regulations in exchange for a $1bn contribution from oil company bosses to support his return to the White House later this year. During a dinner for senior oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago club last month, Trump “vowed to immediately reverse dozens of president [Joe] Biden’s...
The newspaper adds that, for their part, leaders at major oil companies “have been preparing for a possible Trump second term by drafting executive orders designed to be ready to sign as soon as he returns to office”.
It doesn’t mention that the oil companies are writing the executive orders themselves because they don’t believe anyone in Trump’s second administration would be capable of writing an executive order that would stand up in court.
Have no idea what it is about, other than being decentralised. Some basic search results suggests that its a sham, scam and riddled with crypto ideas. Or is it apart of something noteworthy? Geuinly curious what the general consensus is of the Web3.
There are very few use cases where an append-only database (like the blockchains that web3 are supposed to be based on) is a good idea. So the idea web3 is most focused on is artificial digital scarcity. That’s about as anti-web as I think you can get.
Every time I watch season 2 I hope, somehow, that Vedic Bareil will get elected Kai. It was a last minute flip-flop in the writer’s room anyway:
Although the writing staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had spent almost the entirety of the show’s second season planning to make Bareil the new kai, electing Winn to that position was a last-minute decision. “We were all sitting in the room,” recalled Robert Hewitt Wolfe, “and it occurred to us, ‘God, we could […] make Winn the kai. That’s a scary idea!’”

I do too, she was a great villain to the point that I can’t help but to root against her. And I love that the writers knew they wouldn’t want to live in the world they were creating.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
All the streamers suck; plus Spotify definitely sucks the most and it has the most subscribers. So I do my best to support artists I love by buying their albums in some physical form (vinyl if possible because it encourages active listening), t-shirts when I need a t-shirt, fan clubs, etc. It’s all I can think to do.
