I’ve given some more thought to this transformer thing. It really is in the name, just like you said. Transforming text into another form really is the main area of expertise. I feel like I should give GPT some transformation tasks more often. Generating new stuff can be fun, but that might not be the best way to use it.
It’s a very simple observation about the name, but I think pointing it out has really changed the way I think about GPT. Thanks!
I've actually used GPT to summarize book reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I'm not entirely sure if Bing really reads all the book reviews I tell it to read, but it seems to be pretty good at finding the details that matter to me. In my prompt I'm telling it to skip all the 5-star reviews so that it will only focus on finding common complaints. Based on the summary, I'll then decide if I can live with the flaws the book has.
That's a pretty cool site. Next time Bing fails me, I'll try this site to see if the results are any better.
I'm using Brave if I want to watch ad-free youtube videos on my phone. You can also install an ad-blocker on mobile Safari to achieve the same result.
To add to that: On Lemmy and Reddit you care about specific topics such as Firefox@lemmy.ml or Science@beehaw.org. You don't really care who posts there as long as it's good stuff. People also vote the posts and comments so that trash sinks to the bottom while gold floats to the top.
On Mastodon (or Xitter) you care about specific people instead. You follow some people and hope they post good stuff. On Mastodon you can make list that collects together all the hashtags you care about. For instance, you could make a list about renewable energy, so you could throw in words like #solar and #wind. This way you could follow a specific topic. Either way, there's no voting, which means you'll just get a constant stream of anything and everything. People can boost posts, so if you trust someone enough to follow them, you'll also see whatever they boost.
Sounds oddly familiar. Just like how the people who make YT videos are constantly trying to exploit the recommendation algorithm, now Xitter users are going to start making more and more viral posts. What could go wrong.
Oh, that's interesting. You could also ask GPT to generate names and descriptions for places and NPCs according to your specifications. I suppose you might still need to modify these things a bit so that everything works in the story you're building.
Oh, that's just brilliant! Instead of being interrupted by intrusive ads, I'm seeing videos of fluffy cats doing adorable and funny stuff all the time.
Different distros have different limitations and advantages but there are usually good reasons for these things. For example, Debian strives for stability, but that also means fairly old packages. Some other distro might not have a very wide selection of apps in the repos, but it might have some other areas where it excels. As long as you agree with these sorts of design decisions, it should be a good distro for you.
You don't even have to like the default DE or any other package related decision that comes with the default image. Maybe there's a bare bones image that allows you to build your OS which ever way you like, and install only the packages you really need. in this regard, every distribution can be made more or less similar, but your decisions won't change what is or isn't in the repositories or how the devs make their decisions.
For a lot of people, the default image is the one they'll use. In that regard, every distribution is different, but can still be made similar if you put the time and effort into it. Some people prefer to have this and that preinstalled, while other people want something else to work out of the box. With these sorts of decisions in mind, there are huge differences between distros.
Recently I've seen some discussion surrounding this. Apparently, this method also gives lots of false positives, but at least it should be able to help teachers narrow it down which papers may require further investigation.
I've had some good experiences with asking Bing to write a few lines of VBA or R. Normally, I'll just ask it solve a specific problem, but then I'll modify the code to suit my specific needs.
Fortunately for me, I live in an area where there are no dangerous spiders, but if you you live in India, Australia or some other place like that, you can usually safely assume that all the spiders are out there to get you. In my case though, you don't need to worry about them, so we get along really well.
One night, I switched the lights off and went to bed. After a while, I realized I forgot to do something important, so I switched the lights back on and got up. In the middle of the now lit room I saw a big spider (tiny by Australian standards), and it quickly scurried along under the kitchen cabinets. I hadn't seen this fellow before, because apparently that's where it hides during the day. If it eats some bugs in the house, it can continue to live here. I don't mind at all.
