Very curious to hear if someone actually posted one of these and got likes/new followers?

On some videos we can see other climbers' face that are not blurred in the background.

Maybe convince your relatives to do the same?
Could you expand on that?
I've seen a student using ChatGPT for almost everything in his PhD (in engineering). You have some data but you don't know what kind of statistical analysis tool to use? Ask ChatGPT. Code for the analysis? ChatGPT. How do you interpret the results? ChatGPT.

And so on. I could bet that some of his scientific questions where generated, and that's no surprise to me, it's just SO easy this way and if the PhD advisor just says "ok that's good" and no one ever complain during the PhD defense then for sure this will keep going.

But regarding OP's link, when Lemire says I kept my mouth shut. I am never rude on purpose. You can't say that and complain that academia "is blown to bits". It's your responsibility as a scientist to step up and say that some research is garbage when you see it.

Please, stop destroying human everyday life experience with technology and for your personal wealth.

What do you mean by "social media network of Github"?

Codeberg's philosophy sounds really good, I build open source scientific research projects, would you advise me using this platform instead of Github for making my code public?
If I understand correctly the conversation, ChatGPT had to compute for quite some time, meaning a large amount of computations. What kind of resources would be we needed to achieve the same results with a local LLM? Is it even feasible with current open models?

For instance, would it be affordable for a research lab to not rely on OpenAI?

It's funny how much they just couldn't resist their inextinguishable thirst for money.

Perfect to check if Anubis [0] is correctly installed.

Do you feel like it is accurate? Sounds like life is about getting rich or die, no in between.

What about doing something meaningful like, how they say, fix grandma's printer...

I don't know if this was peer reviewed yet, let me know if you find a published paper.

Not from the US, how accurate is this? It feels frightening :(

Is it me or there are furries in the article's main illustration?
IIRC there exist already systems based on an equivalent of sonar for blind people

Thanks a lot for the reference, sounds a exactly what I'm looking for!
Can't wait to see the first horror movies about home robots
