For me the distinction is that your rice only needs to be edible once, while your code may need to last for decades. Using AI to code anything I could comfortably throw away if needed is a lot less fraught than letting…
Users already proven to be trustworthy in one project can automatically be assumed trustworthy in another project, and so on. I get the spirit of this project is to increase safety, but if the above social contract…
Unless you know all the terms the valuation is pretty meaningless. For example if I invest $500 for 1 share of your startup with an extra clause saying that I get the first $500 if you ever sell the company at any price…
I share your feelings. What it most brings to mind for me is the infamous StackSort from the image alt text on XKCD comic 1185 (https://xkcd.com/1185/)
Some additional color: CORS today is just an annoying artifact of a poorly conceived idea about domain names somehow being a meaningful security boundary. It never amounted to anything more than a server asking the…
> the AWS team has implemented it poorly by enforcing it This is whiny and just wrong. Best behavior by default is always the right choice for an SDK. Libraries/tools/clients/SDKs break backwards compatibility all the…
Potentially unpopular take but I don't think free services linked to physical goods are a good idea in practice. Maintaining such services costs money forever, companies can't sustain that as a business model, so the…
This is definitely worthy of concern. There's an infamous case where an AI was trained to detect cancer from imaging but all the positive examples included a ruler (to measure the tumor) so it turned out it just was…
Definitely agree liquidation is non-starter here. They don't sign long term deals with their own customers so WeWork's only real asset is the brand. What the creditors will do is take over ownership from the…
The insurmountable problem is that the practical interests of "consumers shopping on Amazon" don't actually align with the abstract interests of "consumers in general" that the government is purporting to defend. On…
Since I haven't seen it mentioned I'll throw out the Rails/Merb split in the late 00s as a significant momentum killer for Rails (and, by extension, Ruby). Rails 3 reunified them but I don't feel like it ever fully…
Adding a veneer of security isn't necessarily superior to leaving it out altogether. Systems of this sort are best secured at the network level, i.e. only trusted hosts should be able to connect to it. Redis is a good…
Fortunately Meta has chickens and eggs. Bootstrapping the graph from Instagram hopefully means that Threads gets enough critical mass that Twitter->Threads tooling (ala Mastodon's Movetodon or Debirdify) will actually…
Deliberately trying to create an extreme situation in order to find when/where/how a service breaks is inarguably "abuse" regardless of whether the intent was malign.
PE already got theirs, through the magic of a "leveraged dividend". There's really no bigger scam going these days. From the S&P rating note a couple years ago: "U.S.-based Instant Brands Holdings Inc. (formerly known…
Awkward timing to highlight the Apollo widget...
It doesn't really help understand what they are, but for completeness CUDA is an acronym for "Compute Unified Device Architecture" while HIP is "Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability"
I understand that this sucks for specific merchants like you (or OP's Viahart), but if you consider it holistically (across all merchants and products in a category) I think it's a lot less sinister. Imagine some vendor…
I'm not sold that it's reasonable to equate "losing Featured Offer status because of violating objective criteria" with "Amazon is suppressing my listings". Amazon does look at off-Amazon prices to decide whether to…
I'm guessing the critical issue is this assertion in the original blog post If we sell our products for less on channels outside Amazon and Amazon detects this, our products will not appear as prominently in search and,…
This definitely seems like a significant element of the ask, but for any popular package a list of all the downloaders would be pretty overwhelming in size (and I think of very limited utility). I'm guessing that some…
This announcement has nothing to do with physics. As stated, it's just an agreement for Microsoft to buy electricity, and not obviously an agreement to do so at any particular price. And why make this move now? Is…
If they are really only 5 years from producing sellable power they are already capable of a science demo that would render this sort of vapid publicity stunt pointless. I’ve set a reminder to check back in 5 years, if…
They definitely have valuable IP already: whatever slide deck/demo reel/kompromat they used to pull this nonsense off is clearly worth its weight in unobtanium.
I'm guessing a very small subset of trainers make that much. An awful lot of AI training is done via Mechanical Turk like systems that pay pennies per task. They may work out to more than $15/hour on a per task basis…
