These problems predate ChatGPT. Their API has been on the market for nearly 3 years. And they raised their first $1B in 2019. That's plenty of money and time to hire capable leadership.

If you're subscribed to their status page, you'll know it's actually unusual for a day to go by without an outage alert from OpenAI. They don't usually write them up like this but I guess this counts as PII leak disclosu

Have to appreciate the irony of someone's SEO spam submission (submitter works for a company selling scraping services) being SEO spammed in the comments... >Thanks for the links. And I read too. I see a lot of useful stuff that I w

Some of you may be too young to remember the context of this. In 1993, an American was sentenced to be caned for what would be considered minor offenses in America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Fay There wa

Wow, surprised to hear this happens to other people! When I discover a new song I love, I'll nearly always have a night where I wake up with the song blaring in my head. Even if I don't know the song that well, my mind somehow rep

I love the innovation going on in the search space lately. Defaulting to a chat interface adds a lot of burden on your users (need to formulate a longer query) and yourself (need to nail the response in top1). Personally I think there'

I'm with you on this. I would love to be able to connect with ancestors I barely or never met, even if it only captures a fraction of their essence. I worked on this for a while but Microsoft holds a pretty broad patent on this concept

Interesting bit at the very end: "As agents were about to begin the search, Ms. Morgan and Mr. Lichtenstein said they would leave their apartment, but wanted to take their cat, the filing says. The agents allowed Ms. Morgan to retrieve

Not the NIH, but this was actually a thing for several decades up until Trump: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_President%27s_Challenge It does not seem to have been effective.

This started out interesting but strayed into rant territory pretty quickly. "Tesla will be reporting earnings just as this article goes to publication today. But in my view, any “fundamental” news coming from Tesla’s earnings is rathe

Funny, I just asked Alexa to set a timer and she said there was a problem doing that. Apparently timers require functioning us-east-1 now.

Hard disagree here. In practice, corporate wikis are always graveyards of outdated and incomplete information. The process usually looks like this: 1. Someone is excited about a new project and creates a wiki page with a lot of aspirational

Congrats on your launch. This is an obvious pain point and challenging to scale to put it lightly. I did have to chuckle a little at this though: >internal development teams (who end up being stuck doing this kind of work) I can just im

The opening of Live Evil is one of my favorite bass grooves of all time. A good portion of that album is very difficult to sit through, though. Interesting intellectually and historically but not something I find myself putting on for pleas

Great reads, thanks for sharing. It's like you can see him getting angrier and more disillusioned with jazz and the industry in general with each session. I also learned a new racist slur from that last one!

It's not that SNL is some strong influencer, it's just indicative that the current name will be an easy punchline and feed into existing fears.

Considering they're already being skewered on SNL, I have to imagine a rebranding is in the cards. https://youtu.be/3c6MqOB4n9o?t=14

Yep. At best this holds true for 12-18 months. The founders/execs play dumb in the interest of minimizing attrition.

What would they patent exactly? Group voice chat? I imagine someone patented that decades ago and if anything, Clubhouse will be licensing or fighting patent trolls soon if they aren't already.

Ugh, I can so relate to this right now. I followed their Node embedded app tutorial closely, submitted my app, then found out they no longer allow embedded apps to use cookies like their tutorial does. Finding up to date documentation is a
