I believe they will be replicated outside OpenAI, given enough time. But the fewer details OpenAI releases, the longer it will take for someone else to replicate them. To your second question, I am worried about the power dynamics of one la

Not saying I haven't been there, but that's a lot of multitasking. You could probably get the tasks done more efficiently if you worked on the homework assignment and recruiter emails in serial, and then set aside dedicated time to check yo

I've been working on this for a little over a year now, and full time since January. Just wanted to share and see what people here think! It's for musicians who need help with music sight reading, and music teachers who want to help their s

I love that xkcd and the Einstein paraphrase. The article is a good reminder to start with the simplest solution and iterate. Never forget that launching is your most important feature!

WordPress has become my favorite platform for building websites. The software is so robust and the ecosystem of themes and plugins so rich - I find it's really conducive to productivity. That's why I decided to port Try Arc to WordPress. I

Thank you for sharing this during the downtime! Try Arc goes down under heavy traffic because every page load requires its own sandboxed Arc instance to be running on the server. It only takes a few of these to gobble up all the resources o

I don't remember anything from the video about tptacek consulting tips. Could you fill us in? -- Update: OK, I see. It's in the Quitting The Day Job section starting at "Also at Christmas I had a conversation with Thomas Ptacek".

But how can you know this? Google's algorithms are proprietary, and they have data from tons of sources beyond links (including clicks) that they could be using to guide search relevance. How do you know that they're not?

You're in a good position to negotiate for things other than money right now too. Consider what is really valuable to you. Maybe: 1. You're struggling to pay the bills or want to save up. Bargain for the highest salary you possibly can. 2.
