This is the second ChatGPT shared conversation I've seen today that is truly fascinating. The first one was someone proving another conjecture false by just repeatedly saying "keep going" to ChatGPT: https://x.com&

For anyone interested in a breakdown of the basic logic, this recent blogpost that trended on HN is probably the best: https://austinvernon.site/blog/standardthermal.html Really interested in seeing how it fares in rea

"In response, Lord Watts added that young people “are not stupid”, explaining that if they assume they will “earn low incomes and there’s no future”, then youths will likely lower their aspirations as a result." There's proba

You're on the right track in channeling this negative energy into productive work on the company. There are a few things to keep in mind, some of them you've already argued yourself. One, Engage is a common word, so that's on

There is a tremendous share of medicine specialties facing shortages, and fear of AI is not a relevant trend causing it. Even the link explaining shortages in the above article is pretty clear on that. I do agree with the article's aut

Waymo was providing 10,000 weekly autonomous rides in August 2023, 50,000 in June 2024, and 100,000 in August 2024. Not everything has this trajectory, and it took 10 years more than expected. But it's coming. Not saying AI will be the

Maybe this will be helpful to the author (partially already mentioned): - Nonprofit business model does not equal "everything is free for the user forever", I'm guessing you already know that, but the wording on why you don&#

Perhaps a simpler analogy, you see a new bag/flavour of chips in the store, "super crunchy" "delicious", you buy it, go home, tastes horrible, barely crunchy, do you get to take it back and get your money back?

Do you get your money back if you go to the store and buy some new food/fruit/snack you don't like the taste of? No, you throw it away, and probably won't buy it again. If you don't like NYT, don't buy from the

Very much agreed on a lot of the points there, and on that note, how new frameworks market to developers is probably a great lesson in that. Pieter Levels (of nomadlist.com and similar fame) recently talked about it on a podcast, how he bas

What an evolution for the tech industry. From being the underdogs trying to change the world for the better, to becoming top dogs with all the same egoism and "money and power above all" that Big Oil and similar industries have be

Having bought a Toyota hybrid for the first time about 2 years ago, the value proposition was overwhelmingly in their favor. Cost the same or less as equivalent gas cars in their class, with about 30% to 50% less gas usage, meaning ongoing

Have to add a different perspective here (the management one), just to try to give a potential explanation. I did pretty much the same thing to my team, though with a lot more background as to why. We were severely rocked by a Google search

A lot of the changes just don't make any sense? Some of the features removed: - Using your voice to send an email, video or audio message. You can still make calls and send text messages - Rescheduling an event in Google Calendar with

Can't find the tweet that dug a bit deeper, but basically, this difference entirely evaporates if you take a look at the GDP PPP, vs just GDP. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.PP.CD?locat...

It's clearly intended to weed out third party apps, same as Twitter. I have a pet theory that all the companies doing this are converging on the same long term plan - kill third party apps, have premium subscriptions (Facebook recently

I feel you, and where the algorithm is completely insane for me is in the YouTube Shorts section. I literally get the same videos in the same order multiple times during the week. It makes it feel like there's about 100-200 videos in t

A lot of common sense from SoundCloud with this. Is there a sensible argument why Spotify doesn't go this route? The only one I've heard is that music publishers hold too much power, and shifting more value onto the artists would

Any details from verified creators or Brave directly regarding revenue? Even if it's tiny right now, it would be great to hear some data from anyone giving it a real go.
