I noticed this interesting fact during my secondary school education. Additionally you can use this to prove that e is the point where a change in the exponent causes a larger result than a change in the base. E.g. (x+d)^y > x^(y+d) when y >= e for any real value d.

Interesting. Who are paying these people? I'm not aware of any software products based on ChatGPT&co

Unverified and unsupported sweeping statement

QOI caused a huge burst in interest for image formats. Audio is a little harder to work with and understanding so I can imagine less impact for QOA (still good though). What I'm really looking forward to is QOV (video).

Maybe by asking the AI to be concise they're reducing the server load? It has been running awfully slow recently, probably due to a surge in mainstream awareness.

Three is widely considered the worst mobile network in the UK. I think they have won #1 worst network for years in a row.

Wouldn't it be better to save the publication datetime as a Unix timestamp, then convert it based on the reader's timezone?

In their examples section they mention how a double agent was charged with tax evasion based on $2m of undeclared income from bribes.

But if the agent WERE to mention the income on their tax documents, even as "Unspecified due to 5th amendment protection" that surely would be incriminating enough to cause further investigation from the state. (I assume the US government keeps a close eye on their agents papers).

I'm just not sure how you're supposed to declare ill-gotten gains without 5th amendment worthy self-incrimination.

The performance hit is quite unacceptable in games such as CSGO. I cannot really think of any competitive game where the performance hit is justifiable.

It does seem possible, e.g. rather than sending an uppercase alphabetic message as 8-bit ASCII bytes, you can send their position in the alphabet instead, so 01000001 becomes 00001.

Of course this only works when you're limiting yourself to a subset of all possible data (in this case, the uppercase alphabet). A general method where all possible binary combinations are indexed (and the indexes are sent rather than the data) would not save any data as the binary data would always be its own index.

Oft reposted, usually engenders an interesting discussion about MVPs though so I enjoy reading the comments everytime

After reading this, it seems clear (for most users) that the paid REST api for GPT-3 is a good deal.

I've always imagined that voxels are the pixel art of the 3D world. Much easier to create from both an aesthetic and development point of view. Hard discrete edges that fall along the XYZ planes are much easier to program for (think collision detection etc).

Money laundering? Fundamental incompetence? Pick any reason honestly, they all make the same amount of sense. I've never understood why Mozilla bought Pocket.
