I really wanna see that video of the party! I can’t believe Leo has a tattoo on his butt!? WHAT?!
I wanna see Steve boogie down.
ChatGPT’s description of the image was incredible. I was very impressed. Accessibility is really the driver of cool tech
When I was a kid, I remember having my legitimate Windows 7 boxed set, but I actually made some money (not a lot) installing Windows 7 and then using a crack from a piracy site to give them(friends&family) a brand new OS. That must’ve been in like…2009-10. It was such an easy thing too; one click. I for one am happy to see it still being so easy.
The physical AWS locations are probably going to be partnered with local Internet Exchange centres. Usually big data centres and whatnot already have nodes for big companies (here in Montreal I’ve visited and work inside a QIX location a handful of times)
There are 24 hours to watch, get started
Here’s hour 1: TWiT's 24 Hours of 2015 - Hour 1 and I think the rest are linked below.
The part Leo didn’t mention (this time) was that he, and I think Paul, shaved their heads as part of the fund raising, and it was right before Leo’s wedding so Lisa was a bit pissed by him having no hair in the wedding photos… and that may be, in part, why they’ve never done it again
Stephen Wolfram has an essay on his blog, What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work? This blog post is an earlier version of what became his book a few months later. Wolfram also likes to be an explainer-in-chief to his followers. I’ve had his book on my stack; I will read it now.
Wolfram has had great success with its ChatGPT offerings. They now have a chat window available where you can request that the AI provide you with code fragments, etc. in the Wolfram Language. Stephen says this focused application of the AI surprises him with the solutions it provides. He did a writeup about it in his blog: Useful to the Point of Being Revolutionary: Introducing Wolfram Notebook Assistant. The WL does such gorgeous computational visualizations; it would be great for non-programmers to swing for the fences interacting with this flavoring of ChatGPT.
