You're right — the wording in the doc is that the "first prompt" was sent after learning about the rumor, although this might be the first prompt of this solution approach, not necessarily first prompt to any Navier Stokes so

Sure and whoever sells the monitor can sell it in a bundle like that, people will just stop buying their monitor and buy the competition's instead You can do that with software, too. It just turns out that there's more people who

This is really cool! Although a little disappointed that it punished me for using an emdash instead of a dash when an emdash would've been syntactically correct :)

Content, like software, is easy to copy and distribute. Traditional supply-demand diagrams no longer apply; content doesn't get more expensive to produce if it reaches more people. This creates a monopolistic economy where top content

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. You are correct, and it is so rampant these days that I wish we just banned the word "after" in headlines.

What makes you think they've canceled it? Did you read past the headline? What should they have done here — keep the movie despite the obvious conflict of interest? Be more secretive about the fact they're trying to separate so no

1. Because Amazon is a bigtech corp making a film about another bigtech corp. Plenty of conflicts of interest here (in either direction). 2. Regardless of whether it is or isn't related, implying they are without any evidence is just s

The conversion would be more accurate if it compared wealth and capital gains taxes, no? A defining feature of wealth taxes is that they only tax those that make most of their income through capital gains. This is why they're popular a

This was interesting to do on my own profile. It got a bunch of personality attributes about me right that I haven't directly mentioned on here, which is impressive. I then followed it up with "Given my chat history, how do they c

This looks really useful — occasionally I run into the issue that I'm on an odd machine with minimal packages installed, and want to use AI to do some stuff without setting up a full Node/Python environment. This seems like the pe

It's easy to address the limitations of AI by simply not using AI for those. No one forces you to use AI for tasks where its capabilities are limited; regardless, there are plenty of tasks where they aren't. AI is very good at som

True, but you can't have complete tests without 100% coverage. It's a necessary, but not a sufficient condition; as long as it doesn't become the sole goal, it's still a useful metric.

Genuine question, why does Flock get so much bad press in the US compared to other, much more infringing surveillance tech? Your mobile provider knows your exact location at any point in time, and the NSA probably has access to most big tec

Likely it's just a coincidence — there were other Sybil attacks that are not in February too, so the chance that you'd get 3 in Feb isn't all that low.

Which video was that? Garry has been an outspoken Trump-critic and moderate Democrat on Twitter. Either way, my point is it's an extreme stretch to believe their departure, Trump, and crypto stablecoins are somehow related.

What's the context here? When, where and for what did they recommend SVB? (FWIW, it did end well, as going with a relatively large federally insured bank meant that no one lost any money during the crash)
