The perfect encapsulation of Elon Twitter is the richest man in the state of North Carolina referring to “elites” in third person and meaning NYT journalists making $38k/yr https://t.co/NnmmGbrLyn
Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic
Twitter only verifying elites and friends of Twitter employees was wrong. Democratizing verification for $8 was good. Treating everyone the same is principled. What kind of company sells a product but gives it to elites for free? That's just weird thing to do. https://t.co/KSRItcc26l

Don't try to say he means 'cultural elites', Tim is the CEO of Epic, which makes Fortnite, one of the most popular games in America.

Notes on how I turned an hour-long video of a digital thermometer into temperature readings over time by using ffmpeg to split the video into a frame every 10s and Google Cloud Vision to run the OCR
I got ChatGPT/GPT-4 to show me how to use both of those: til.simonwillison.net/googlecloud/vi…

had multiple conversations this week with builders who think it's already possible to build self-improving autonomous agents through GPT4.
key belief shared is that we are just scratching the surface of what it can do through better prompt engineering:

Here is an explainer about some of the AI advances in the last... 75 hours. While one should not make too much of the suggestive naming, it seems to represent a decent improvement over past performance. And it can be applied by anybody.

i think it is pretty clear that there was a post-January 6th coup and that it is good that there was.
emptywheel @emptywheel
For those asking about Milley: remember that he 1) reached out to China while Trump was coup-ing and told them not to do anything rash and 2) said it was a mistake to be part of the Lafayette Square photo op.
Frothy right believes Milley & Nancy Pelosi launched a coup on Trump. https://t.co/8lw1o0ch0E

Image generators (DALL-E in this case) have absolutely mastered the narrow streets genre, no matter the setting or architectural style. These prompts weren't even particularly detailed.

>If an individual apartment is vacant for 2 months every 5 years, that individual apartment has a vacancy rate of 3.3%.
I don’t think this is stressed enough — this is normal in between tenants! Aggregate vacancy rates are just this, multiplied across an entire metro region.

@bgreysk We have census data on this.
In Los Angeles the citywide rental vacancy rate is 3.5%, and most of those empty units are in between tenants.
If an individual apartment is vacant for 2 months every 5 years, that individual apartment has a vacancy rate of 3.3%.

There's a lot of folks under the misunderstanding that it's now possible to run a 30B param LLM in <6GB, based on this GitHub discussion.
This is not the case. Understanding why gives us a chance to learn a lot of interesting stuff! 🧵

definitely think that the nVidia GPUs accelerating computational lithography for photolithography masks (for more chip creation!) is the 1000x underreported self-acceleration

The best trick the devil (Apple) ever pulled was convincing the world that App Tracking Transparency was a privacy feature. It's an anti-advertising feature.
It's specifically designed to only harm ad networks not actually protect user privacy.

They ignore the economics textbooks, too. Increasing the labor supply by allowing more immigration of workers decreases equilibrium wages in the receiving country. https://t.co/Cz78PLMHl4

Occasionally I think about how different things would be if the UAW had won this campaign to repurpose WWII factories for housing production.
