Huh. I can’t find a single book on here of the last 100 i have read. Is this all just self-help books or something?

All yums.

For sci-fi, one I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.

Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.

Mmmmm… SoakCenter.

I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn’t show any table like you describe, and no links to the other “parts” out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!

“Living fuels” as opposed to fossil fuels?

Well, I’m using GitHub. I don’t know what to tell you.

I guess I would be ok sending the money on my own. But these other services have the nice feature of allowing other users to contribute to the bounty into a single pot. I.e., I can put a bounty of $20, then user b also really wants the feature and will add $5. When the PR is approved, the developer is guaranteed $25 and doesn’t have to contact user b to send their $5 or give out their financial info to X number of people.

Is it available right now? What do they call this feature so I can search for it?

If you haven’t already, look up Graphic Audio. They make a lot of popular books into audio dramas. It felt a bit cheesy to me the first time but it’s grown on me. I find them often on Hoopla or at my library.

“We’re Alive” was a pretty fun audio drama that I think started as a podcast, but they edited into more seamless “books”. Available as a freebie if you have Audible.

“Impact Winter” is another Audible freebie I think, about Vampires.

Alternatively, you may be interested in the Magnus Archives. It’s a podcast with a short horror story in each episode, but all tied together by the researcher who narrates it. Eventually some connections form between the stories but each one is pretty short so you don’t need to be super dedicated to the whole podcast if you just want a few stories.

What do you mean by keeping bookmarks? You mean like recording your place in the book so you can continue where you left off? I’m not understanding the benefit of that over a normal paper bookmark?

Yep, if you liked the author, Project Hail Mary by the same guy has very similar vibes. Optimistic scientist dude stuck in space using science in creative ways to save the day.

Ok so, the instance owner pays them to host, and with that revenue… They pay the instance owner back? Isn’t that just a “discount” with more steps?

What are they getting income from? Are they wanting to run ads on your instance or something?

It’s a newer image file format. You could think of it as a “better” version of a GIF or PNG. It compresses to a smaller file size with better quality, so lots of sites are using it now to speed up image loading without sacrificing quality.

The problem is they aren’t comparing apples to apples. They asked each version of GPT a different pool of questions. (Edited my post to make this clear).

Once you ask them the same questions, it becomes clear that ChatGPT isn’t getting worse at math, because it has been terrible all along.

My understanding is this claim is basically entirely false. The tests done by these researchers had some glaring errors that when corrected, show gpt-4 is getting slightly better at math, if anything. See this video that describes some of the issues: https://youtu.be/YSokS2ivf7U

TL;DR The researchers gave new GPT questions from two different pools. It’s no surprise they got worse answers.

Ender 3 V2 Neo. Low cost, good quality, easy to put together, and includes most of the “upgrades” you would usually end up buying separately anyway (auto-leveling, etc.). Good entry-level printer that performs very well and will handle most anything you throw at it (large bulky parts, or small detailed miniatures). May be all you need for a good long while. I’ve had mine printing 2-3 things a week for a year and a half without any issue.

Indeed. It will be interesting to see how this all evolves.

I’m also from Vlemmy. Not a word from the Admin; just vanished. A day or so before they had posted about defederating with some instances known for CP/CSA due to Vlemmy being hosted in Ireland, which has law against allowing such things to be hosted on your server, even in cartoon form.

One theory is he got spooked/warned by law enforcement and just noped out.
