That seems an awesome concept! I’ll queue the video up!
Mild uh-oh from me, though I had a great time in Origins and everything has been less good since then…

I think that this is the logical place to put those opinions - it would make less sense unlinked to the post.
I dislike that it’s been shotgunned at nearly every post I see, regardless of how relevant it might be, and I don’t trust the output to represent the link.
Given there’s no “bad bot” style feedback functionality (that I know of), what else is there to do than block it?
I dunno, it seems easy enough to say “we’ve got rid of cAIo Colin v1.0 for his clearly insane ideas last year, we’re looking forward to bowing to the whims of Colin v1.3, who I hear has some excellent new data sets from last year!”
Or a different product, or whatever. Ew, in any case.
Is that shittywatercolour? Didn’t realise he was still posting!
That’s just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn’t have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won’t advance past that level of accuracy until it’s a completely different approach.
Apologies, I thought I’d seen 60 seconds but since looking I’ve found a bunch of guesses from “every few” to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.
Going to the source, I found:
are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot.
Should have searched first, sorry!
Love that quote - will say that, to my eyes, what’s happening here is worse than results being wrong and the summary passing that on - in at least a few examples I’ve seen, the summary has contained information that is related to but the opposite of what was requested, e.g. a list titled “things you should do if bitten by a snake” that contains a list of things you should not do.
Or in the example of pizza glue, that being a great tip… If you want to do product photography of pizza.
Though this seems like a reasonably healthy take, it’s another thing that makes me think I don’t need to wonder about going back for The Final Shape.
I suspect you’d have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.
When the founders all left, and/or Eurogamer acquired it (related) and started pushing the same videos/rubbish guides designed for SEO optimization rather than interesting articles written with passion.
To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. “what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine.”
So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.
Actually, for most uses of crypto it’s attempting to muddle in and “add” value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.
You’re doubting that it’s meeting or missing image quality?
I’ve got them loaded up on my reader and ready to go for my holiday next week - dropping a comment so I can try and remember to post my impressions!
For what it’s worth, people don’t generally gift Amazon copies of books when they can send out epubs. A previous Kickstarter campaign for Dragonsteel also fulfilled in this way, I suspect they all have. Have you seen it working differently elsewhere? Why did you think it would work like that here?
No, I didn’t. If you read my post, I said I bought the books on Kindle.
I backed one of the previous leatherbounds, and, understanding from that that there was no Amazon gift code for the e-books, didn’t get that through this campaign - instead opting to buy it when it went up on Amazon.
I don’t think he actually delayed the release of the e-books, just Audible - though I may be wrong. Looking at Amazon, I see that Tress~ was available from 10th January 2023 - which is, admittedly, 9 days later than the release to backers - but that’s really not significant or “withheld” or “boycotting” at all IMO. Wikipedia backs this up.
Published January 1, 2023 (Dragonsteel; available to Kickstarters) 10 January 2023 (Dragonsteel; available to all) April 4, 2023 (Tor)
So, are you just annoyed about Audible not being available at the time? I see that’s apparently out as of April '24, so yeah, more of a delay, and you would have to re-buy access via Audible - but I’d assume you’d already listened to/read the book by now, if you were that into it / backed it.
Out of interest, what specific accessibility benefits are you looking for here? Genuinely a touch curious, having been trying to fill out a VPAT survey this week.
Yeah, I’m confused. I bought the books on Kindle roughly at release. What’s your issue?
Really enjoyed the format, looking forward to the extension of this in the next video!
Really appreciated the deeper dive and calm narrative along with the evolving code and demonstration. I feel like so many videos go into what without touching enough on why, so that was really good.
