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?

Anybody have a list of the books and authors they mentioned? Any personal recommendations on which ones to try first?

Hm, interesting. I have been getting better at noticing the buildup to a meltdown, but you are right it's not perfect. I might ask my doctor if there is something similar I could have in in emergency. Thanks for the tip.

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.

My understanding is most NSFW posts are hidden by default unless you are logged in; if you are just visiting that instance directly and aren't logged in with an account there and changed your settings to view NSFW content it's gonna look pretty empty.

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?

Just finished Doom 2016. Runs smooth as silk, and the controls are great. Just starting Hollow Knight now.

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.

Got myself an sleep mask and weighted blanket for bed. Helps me sleep so much better.

But also, when I notice I'm building up to a meltdown, I tell my wife "I need to hide for a few minutes", go up to the bedroom, lights off, mask on, weighted blanket on, earbuds in, and just block all stimulation for about 5 minutes. Usually prevents any meltdowns.

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.
