Re: GPT-5: 4 New Features We Want to See

ChatGPT need to cite its sources, consistiently and accurately. Any kid writing a simply school paper knows how to do this, or any respectable journalist has to do this, and certainly the actually intelligent scholarship relies on it heavily. An AI should do it, too.

Scanning hundreds of pages with a handheld phone is inefficient compared to what can be accomplished with a purpose built device. What's a taxi?

Re: Onyx Announces the Boox Typerwriter

Dylan Kinnett — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 16:17:50 -0000

Does anybody know: was this device ever released? Or is there anything else like it? I'm curious about alternatives to the Freewrite devices: something laptop-like with e-ink and mostly for writing. Is there anything like this?

Re: Why the Closure of Oculus Story Studio is Good News for VR Filmmakers

Dylan Kinnett — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 11:04:58 -0000

I know this is old news, but I'm still bummed about the end of the Story Studio. Closing it down and checking it off as a marketing and PR accomplishment was short-sighted. There's more R&D to be done around the narrative potential, the structure and format of stories in VR, etc.

Without a deliberate "Story Studio," as opposed to a "Game Studio" -- as we've seen, it's mostly video games for VR, and those largely follow the same formula they had over on the flatscreen medium. It seems there's already less narrative content, and consequently there's less demonstration of the potential, so we return to the reason for Story Studio in the first place. Story Studio did make an impact, but it wasn't lasting enough, because it needed a more sustained effort.

Does anybody know: who has picked up the mantle here? Thanks for any replies.

a search for international copyright reciprocity should help point you to the details here. essentially, because of international treaties, there is some measure of international jurisdiction.

I ran the .exe described here. Now I need to do the opposite because I need to run Ubuntu more than I need Android on this machine.

Unfortunately, I don't see an .exe to reverse the change. I tried doing all the steps listed in the article, but in the reverse. Several times and several reboots later, I still can't launch Ubuntu. Please provide a reliable way to undo the changes made by the .exe file.

I read that book, but it was a long time ago. I found it useful. Let me know what you think of it!

Do you think they're bogus, absolutely true, or somewhere in between? Me, I think it's somewhere in the middle. They're interesting conceptual frameworks, but they're not exactly laws of physics or anything.

I agree that there should be an opportunity for Place to interact with the controversy. It seems to be an important part of making a work like that.

OK I'll play with that in the next one, a sort of quote-and-comment hybrid. Thanks for the input!

LOL I was also curious about that stain. I feel like there's a story there.

I think the disappearing comments are a feature, not a flaw? When there's a very active conversation, sometimes the comments can get in the way of the video, so i guess they fade out to prevent that.

Re: A Truth About Partnering with Amazon …

Dylan Kinnett — Sun, 15 Feb 2015 13:07:37 -0000

What about literary journals, zines, magazines or what-have-you? It seems that to reap the benefits of Amazon+POD you have to do an ISBN, but maybe there's no love for ISSN? Has anybody out there traversed this issue? I'd be interested to compare others' experiences to those I've had with Infinity's Kitchen.

I love it when the salad bar has unlimited toppings. I recently went to town on the toppings they've got at the salad bar in the National Gallery. The nearby bookstore, with its shelves arranged along a long wall, also feels like a buffet. It's hard to go to town on art books though. They're not as cheap as croutons.

Re: Point/Counterpoint: Reading from Smartphones

Dylan Kinnett — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:33:54 -0000

+1 for this! Whether it's shuffling through papers or flipping through app screens, when the reader isn't prepared it lessens the quality of the experience in my opinion.

Re: Point/Counterpoint: Reading from Smartphones

Dylan Kinnett — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:30:53 -0000

I have a Kindle Touch that I like to read from on occasion. It has that nice paper-like screen, which has the advantage of being much larger than my phone, and it has a very long battery life. (I have seen someone's battery go out on them mid-reading. very sad.) Still, I prefer paper because I can make last minute corrections on it without much fuss at all.

Re: Notes on a Trend

Dylan Kinnett — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:24:05 -0000

To avoid a trend, it seems tempting to seek its opposite or even the opposite of trends altogether. What's the opposite of the trendy stuff? Is it the canon? I wonder: is "canonical literature" the stuff that has been trendy for a very long time? Even with the canon, there are occasional redefinitions and shifts.

I like feedly a lot but for me the dealbreaker came when I tried to search through the feeds. They make you pay for that feature.
