Founder of CodeWall here. It's quite funny because whilst an LLM did write the bulk of the posts factual content (based on the agents findings), I wrote the intro and summary at the end. That's just my writing style. Feel free to read my personal blog to compare: https://darkport.co.uk
Idk how big your team is of course but imo try to hire a technical writer (they’re really cheap now), it pays dividends for a long time as consistent style and keywords build up SEO reputation. This article is making the rounds, some bigger papers picked it up, it is very valuable to land it well.
If you really DID come up with that paragraph 100% completely on your own with no LLM influence then...I apologize for the insult, though I can't really back out from what I said. It's still a bombastic way of saying very little.
Obviously they’re bullshitting. Notice how they only said “I wrote the intro,” not “I wrote the intro without any LLM assistance.”
Just look at the first two diagram images, we can all agree those are AI slop, right? You think they took the time to write the entire article by hand, then used AI solely to create those two images?
Most likely they’re just so constantly immersed in slop that they don’t realize how obvious it is when they use AI to “improve” their writing.
I've always wanted to do something similar at scale. Generate all possible random mobile numbers 11^10, check if they have a WhatsApp profile pic and run it through AWS' rekognition celebrity model (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/celebritie...). You could identify the personal numbers for a _lot_ of VIPs, politicians, etc.
"Amazon Rekognition can recognize thousands of celebrities in a wide range of categories, such as entertainment and media, sports, business, and politics. With Amazon Rekognition, you can recognize celebrities in images and in stored videos. You can also get additional information for recognized celebrities."
I guess an argument could be made how celebrities are public figures which in some jurisdictions gives them a bit worse privacy protections.
Also interesting: The article "Celebrity recognition compared to face search" [0] does actually have a disclaimer:
> Celebrity recognition should not be used in a manner that could result in a negative impact on civil liberties.
Only to then follow up how face search allows for the very same thing with your own face collections, so it's apparently not just reserved to celebrities.
It's 2021. Maybe if you had a calendar in your office you'd know?
Do people not ever need to sit down to manage any of their finances, personal life, or organisations they volunteer in in 2021? Do you do everything from your phone on your sofa? Where do you keep physical books and things? Do you never need to focus and write?
I do it in my kitchen or living room - for a couple of hours a week at most.
If I had a room that I could devote to something that I barely spend any time doing I would have made it into something more fun - like a workshop, or home-gym, or sauna, or whatever. I'll use it how I please - and my employer can keep on paying for somewhere for me to work.
Completey agree. I thought AirBnB was great back in the day but these days I only find it 'useful' (read: cheaper) when sharing a large property with friends. 99% of the time a 4*+ hotel cost is similar if not £20 - £40 more overall which I would be willing to pay because of your list above.
I made the mistake of buying an HP printer years ago. But I found a 'neat trick'. You can subscribe to the free Instant Ink program using a test credit card, i.e. a number from https://developer.paypal.com/docs/payflow/payflow-pro/payflo.... And ~2 days later you have ink sent to your door. Fuck you HP.
New printers often come with a trial of the manufacturer's subscription plan, which will automatically order ink when it's running low. I guess if you activate the subscription when it runs low, it will send a new cartridge straight away. This probably also works with a real card number if you just cancel the subscription before it starts charging.
I'd assume that only works once per printer - or at least it's enough of a pain to repeat it that most people would rather pay. The smallest subscription plans are pretty cheap.
That’s got to be it. No way would a test card number actually work. Live payment processor environments decline them. They only work in payment processor test environments.
If the merchant’s backend doesn’t special case them and sends them through, they will be declined.
This is great. One of my side project ideas is to build an ANPR based app and 'social network' starting with basic tracking, I.e. you've passed this car 4 times before. I'm new to the ML world so still learning vut Do you think this is feasible to run in real time using CoreML on iOS?
