  • Late but I’m pretty sure it’s a byproduct of the RHLF process used to train these types of models. Basically, they have a bunch of humans look at multiple outputs from the LLM and rate the best ones, and it turns out people find lists easier to understand than other styles (alternatively, the poor souls slaving away in the AI mines rating responses all day find it faster to understand a list than a paragraph through the blurry lens of mental fatigue)







  • You need a large redistributive mechanism to prevent wealth accumulation at the top, and you need strict regulation on the size of businesses to prevent them from dominating markets.

    We had those things, and we can bring them back. If we survive the next four years, I suspect most Americans will be less opposed to a wealth tax and an FTC/DOJ that can actually do its job.







  • Also the Android TV app is AWESOME!

    What do you run Android TV on? Raspberry Pi? My cheapo solution has been to use an old Android phone that supports DP alt mode (USB-C to HDMI adapter) combined with a USB hub + generic air mouse/remote + customized launcher.

    It actually works surprisingly well. I installed FCast on it, so it even works like a Chromecast. If I’m watching a video on my phone using Grayjay, I can just cast it to the phone and it will start playing automatically. The only thing stopping it from being perfect is that it can’t turn the TV on automatically. As a plus, since the phone has a battery, it’s always powered on so I don’t have to wait for stuff to boot, and it uses relatively little power.

    … but overall it’s janky and finicky, and the OEM bloatware is probably spying on me, so I’ve been looking for alternatives that can match the good parts of this setup.

    I don’t like Raspberry Pis for this because they’re overpriced. I have a couple that I could use for this, but I’m hoping to find a cheaper solution, and one that I can recommend to friends/family when they ask. (the Android phone I’m using cost me a total of $15 on ebay)
