Whoa! This seems like a pretty cool spin on MoltVote. I wonder if there is a way to pair this with the betting markets and use AI to arbitrage various future bets going on?

You write an essay in bullet points then you put the essay into ChatGPT to clean up and then you edit the output again before sending in the essay. Who wrote the essay and in which percentage?

From my personal account, I started with PHP and Perl (high school and college) and then graduated to Ruby on Rails (early dev career) and now its Python and JS. I would say Ruby on Rails was a 10x on raw PHP in terms of feature specs per h

I think this is the wrong question. The right question is how much human code can a human push now vs prior to AI. Everything we've done in coding has been assisted. Prior to this current generation of web applications, we had the adve

This is not true. People that are not aligned with the company's values create negative enterprise value.

Same way you can't just print out a copy of the mona lisa? People care about status and authenticity. Imagine a virtual world where 1. You have the validate you are an avatar you own 2. You can be anything you want The virtual world 1

This is already happening. You're thinking about this in reverse. The web 1.0 and 2.0 way of thinking if we build the product, then we own the community. The web 3.0 way of thinking is there are existing communities out there (BAYC, Pu

I agree this is one facet, but other is we now have a trustless ownership protocol (ie. cryto + NFTs) that will lay the foundation for people "caring" about the stuff and status you have in the metaverse.

Honest question, if you were running Amazon, how do you protect against bad actors or poor performers? Do you leave it solely to the discretion of the managers? How do you judge manager performance, solely by morale?

I'm really excited about the new PHEVs (plug-in hybrids) coming out of Asia. I think that there is a much better chance that PHEVs are the road to mass adoption than pure electric in the short term (ie. 10-15 years). Electric still has

All I know is there are trivial AP classes like AP Government, AP Econ, AP Art, AP Computer Science, etc. at my school. Almost everyone got an A and a 4 or 5 on the test.

Given 2 equally smart people. The one that has the opportunity to take more AP/Honors will have more opportunity to get a higher GPA.

Isn't GPA even easier to game than SATs? -- Private schools can curve more leniently so its pay to play -- Rich schools tend to have more AP/Honor courses which inflate weighted GPAs I went to one of the best public schools in Ame

Yeah, but now there is also a massive bounty out for these hackers. Money needs to get out at some point and that's when they'll get nailed.

I think what probably happened is these people (real or bots) posted on every major influencer and liked each other's posts to get them to the top of the posts. Which is very similar to what a spam bot ring would do.

To be fair to IG/Twitter there seems to be a spam campaign on behalf of the Palestinian people. For example, look at the top comments on any Justin Bieber post lately: https://www.instagram.com/p/COwqsQRH3Rj/

You can already use iPadOS apps on MacOS with m1 right? So maybe that's why you would pay more for the Mac versus the iPad.
25.
by charlesju 5y ago
Maybe it's not even about more performance, it's simply about economics of scale. It's cheaper to just make more m1 chips than to create a new process to create a worse m1-mobile version. Paradoxically you might get more spee

Even most external webcams are limited to 1080p. It's not practical to stream 1440p or higher right now, on demand streaming is super computationally heavy.

Do you have any data that says the cost (ie. money or security) is materially increased from this point forward given the space to store is truly small.
