My statements based on high level meetings I had at the time with all 3 companies when I had started an early neural network PaaS company and was looking for them to invest. Nvidia knew what they were talking about and were already moving t

"Complete understanding" isn't a real objective. Understanding more than we knew before is more realistic, and yes, I'd say we understand more than we did before, if you take a sample every 5 years or so. Every 5 years i

I suppose it's impossible to prove the specifics of the conspiracy, but that Jack Ruby, a guy running strip clubs for the mafia, takes it upon himself to publically shoot Lee Harvey Oswald kind of proves to me that there was some kin

I do the same thing, don't hook it up to internet, never update, don't use smart features, watch everything off a separate Kodi box. But TVs have become so hopelessly enshittified I would support legislation at this point. I am su

It was great in the beginning! But yes, it's gone down hill, I avoid now.

I actually prefer it over Factorio, spent a fair bit of time in both.

Really good post and great example of how someone can incorporate these tools into their work. Maybe there will be a new resurgence of proc gen games that finally manage to get past the same-ness problem with more diverse, interesting gener

Get Ableton or FL Studio or Reaper for DAW, get Dexed as a free VST (or serum, not free), and search YouTube for "how to make synthwave with X" and you'll find a bunch of stuff. The DAW is software that organizes all your ins

"Not much" has fundamentally improved since Alexnet??? Honestly half the comments in this thread boggle my mind. What is even the word for someone that is shown something amazing that they don't understand and then dismisses

Don't be negative about revolutionary new technology that can make the world a better place. As it stands, people believe whatever dumb thing they read online. Thanks to AI, they will have to learn that if something is out of the ordin

Netflix and other tech stocks did not lose their value over decades, it happened over the course of months. But yes, market volatility is a thing for stocks as well as bitcoin. They're the same in that regard. "Bitcoin to zero&quo

I dunno, Bitcoin loses 65% of its value and it's a scam, but Netflix does it and it's... not a scam? SVB implodes and investors (but not depositors) lose everything and it's ok. You're nuts if you think there's no i

Kebabs are alright but the Europeans need to find out about burritos, they don't even know.

Agreed. And the whole thing really reminds me of Ted Chiang's short story The Lifecycle of Software Objects, but the real life version is much stranger than fiction. Similar ideas though.

If heroin was legal and pure, there would be far fewer fentanyl overdose deaths. The number of deaths from not-fentanyl is low so calling it "drug overdose deaths" instead of "fentanyl overdose deaths" is disingenuous. W

It's more of a cool technology that is rapidly advancing. A couple years ago, it couldn't do this much. A couple years from now, it will be much better. It does much more than mash images together, which you would know if you dug

Do you have any leads on short term contracts? Would accept one in an instant. The problem is upwork takes a 20% cut and has bad terms and has a very flaky client base, while everything that VC money touches pays way better but hires non-co

Maybe the time is right for anti-agile coaches to call all the companies that bought agile coaching over the past 15 years. I guess they'd be talking about why waterfall was best all along. I think some of the root issue is the annoyin
