@pmillegan Just needs a native way for merchants to edit translations.

Can’t even use metafields as it seems the useMetafields hook isn’t supported on full page extensions 😭

I did not expect modern Ruby to be this GenZ 💀

So my friend and I were watching the new Black Mirror episode “Bête Noire” and we noticed that there was a stark difference between our episodes… even the viewers are getting gaslit at 16:40! #BlackMirrorS7

it's truly wild how bloomberg managed to completely destroy juicero with a single 60-second video

People have too inflated sense of what it means to "ask an AI" about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers. Instead of the mysticism of "asking an AI", think of it more as "asking the average data labeler" on the internet.

Few caveats apply because e.g. in many domains (e.g. code, math, creative writing) the companies hire skilled data labelers (so think of it as asking them instead), and this is not 100% true when reinforcement learning is involved, though I have an earlier rant on how RLHF is just barely RL, and "actual RL" is still too early and/or constrained to domains that offer easy reward functions (math etc.).

But roughly speaking (and today), you're not asking some magical AI. You're asking a human data labeler. Whose average essence was lossily distilled into statistical token tumblers that are LLMs. This can still be super useful ofc ourse. Post triggered by someone suggesting we ask an AI how to run the government etc. TLDR you're not asking an AI, you're asking some mashup spirit of its average data labeler.

It also works in VR 🤯

Grab a Quest or Apple Vision Pro and step into the immersive cockpit. Got to love WebXR and the amazing react-three/xr.

ELON: THE PROBABILITY OF MECHAZILLA CATCHING STARSHIP IS ABOVE ZERO

“It'll weigh about 250 tons. 

We'll make that lighter over time. 

So, you got a couple of hundred tons plummeting more than half the speed of sound. 

So, this thing is still coming in really fast. 

Pretty much down in a downward direction.

So then, they light the engines, so it's got to slow itself down very fast and correct any errors.

Whatever the X-Y error is when the engines land, it's got to take out that X-Y error and then drop the velocity to basically zero, come in between the arms.

The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms.

And those tiny little, you can barely see them, the little knobs, those kinds of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms, and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple.

Success is one of the possible outcomes. 

The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.”
