Proud Hypercardian here, Excel wrangler, and I even built animations by stacking powerpoint elements. Agree that LLMs have let more people build that otherwise couldn't attempt an application on their own. I met Cory at a book signing

I hear this a lot! What's suddenly different for the web is the volume of scraping. And that fact that the sum of that scraping is building companies with trillion dollar valuations. There are tens of millions of registered copyrights

You do have inherent copyright whenever you post, but it puts the burden on you to prove damages (or how much financial harm you suffered from one LLMs piracy alone). Filing fees are $65 for online registration and they allow you to claim a

This is a phenomenal paper on exploits and hopefully changes the way benchmarking is done. From the paper: We achieved near-perfect scores on all of them without solving a single task. The exploits range from the embarrassingly simple (send

We're also on the edge of the read, and read-nots. There is an abundance of content to consume and AI lets us consume it in any format easily. Why read a book when we can have an idea distilled in a quick infographic, a shortform video

Love the Oregon Trail and Powell's--it's a magical book place. I had a chance to work with one of the original Oregon Trail creators on a board game concept these past three years. Don is a true pleasure to work with and has a sha

Ha, I had a chance to work in the "blueberry world" over a decade ago. Ridley's blueberries are bred for flavor first and truly are exceptional. Most of the comments are correct, generally fruit is grown for looks first, yiel

The reason you're seeing blueberries year-round in stores is due to a huge improvement in naturally hybridizing commercial blueberries to remove this requirement for frost and chill hours. The industry owes a big debt mainly to U of F

Most projects put 12 month or greater lockups on tokens (which I'd recommend for both vesting considerations and protections for the protocol against dumping). The standard YC advisor templates are fairly easy to translate to token-bas

Great question, I feel like GPT3 does a great job with predictable generation, like Family Feud answers. The first two are very predictable and the remaining 10 fall closer to a line that most folks would try out at least as an icebreaker,
