3D printing a building with 756 windows

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-29 03:31:41

I’m writing this in a building with 756 windows. I know because I counted, and spent months researching, measuring, designing, 3D printing, and assembling them for the final project of an architecture course I took last spring. I’m a computer science major, but I make a point of taking a few non-math non-CS courses each year, made possible by Brown University’s Open Curriculumn. Last semester, those courses were in architecture and epigraphy; this blog post is about a project for the former.

ChatGPT’s safety guardrails may “degrade” after long conversations, the company that makes it, OpenAI, told Gizmodo Wednesday. “ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis helplines and referring them to real-world resources. While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade,” an OpenAI spokesperson told Gizmodo.
