PageRank for better centrality seems neat, but it still doesn't address the probably unsolvable flaw with RAG, the reason why RAG basically can't work. All RAG DBs under-perform expectations because RAG fundamentally can't f

I think this article makes a fantastically gross error, the conclusion is fine, however the authors gloss over the fact that any space-faring life has a high probability of being machine-intelligence, not squishy biological life which 'evol

You're neglecting many reasons extra terrestrial life may pose a threat. The most obvious is they may want our planet, they want to live here, and if they've managed to travel across the vast void of space, wiping out humanity probably won'

I don't think you understand my point at all. The pageviews Cheezburger garner ARE impressive. That it is possible to run a business with very low capital costs (based on wordpress blogs) fairly inexpensively (and thus grow or _shrink_ orga

Sorry, don't get me wrong, I understand it's easy to burn through cash. My point is: I'm not sure why Cheezburger thinks it's impressive to set up Wordpress blogs of other people's images without breaking the bank.

"Cheezburger has been a profitable business since inception. We have been profitable every single quarter, and never had a quarter with negative cash flows. " Oh come on now, how could you have negative cash flow? Your whole business model

"Ernest Hemingway than Kurt Vonnegut" I think you're trying to make a 'smart' reference but are confused. Overall, Vonnegut was generally at least as, or more concise; there is an entire page in _For Whom the Bell Tolls_ dwelling on the swe

This doesn't explain or even address why the Japanese favor 'large round eyed' actors in ads for beauty products, why darker skinned Japanese women are not featured on TV, and why the current depictions of beauty in Japan eschew many trait

The biggest problem with App Store 'reviews' is that iOS asks for a rating on uninstall, this leads to many '1 star' ratings, with no review at all, leaving the developer in the dark as to what the user's issues are.

I'm not sure if you're just naive, but "rock star" programmers make a lot more than $100k/yr, try tripling that.

"Isaac Newton or Emily Dickinson" funny you should have mentioned both of these folks, they both died virgins. The world might have been better, but they never got to experience an important part of being human.

From growing up in, and visiting London frequently, I don't really agree. London is as, or more expensive than, NYC. Programmers are expensive in London, and in dealing with the British tech culture, they don't seem to have the 'entrepreneu

"Sorry AirBnB Hipsters, I’ll Take Health and Safety Over the Cult of Disruption" And you were free to do that already, why force everyone else? (what is that again hotel lobby?)

by inboulder 16y ago
Notice how this 'valid point' has nothing to do with all the other 'safety' red herring nonsense. Forcing the owner to be present cripples the opportunity to sublet, which is exactly what the hotels want.

From reading a lot of VC blogs, the thing that affects their valuation the most is competition. I think the most important thing you can do for your deal is get a competing bid of some kind, any kind, any outside interest at all will do mor

Not that I disagree, but "inability to respect social norms" is basically part of the definition of Borderline Personality disorder or Narcissism, so saying as much is basically tautological.

That's a 'backup', that has nothing to do with all social content on the servers being unreadable to anyone but those in the graph.
