One issue with this analogy is that paper encyclopedias really are precise when used correctly. Wikipedia is not. I do think it can be used in research but not without careful checking. In my own work I've found it most useful as a sea

This was debunked - the agent was actually fooling the verification harness https://x.com/SakanaAILabs/status/1892992938013270019 . One particular test that showed a 150x speedup is actually 3x slower .

99% of the population finds this easier than setting up a user/pass. If you care about this, understand that you will not be the target user for most new apps. Incredible that this comes up on so many new Show HNs.

Shame that this is downvoted, I assume for tone - this is the feedback the founders need to hear

"social media feels unusual" bro what? I've both spent time at a VC fund and have successfully fundraised as a founder - every partner adds you on LinkedIn bare minimum after a call, twitter was pretty common too

Real talk: This VC probably has at least ~10 meetings like this per week and they do ~10 deals per year . Neither adding you on social nor presenting you at a Monday meeting means anything. If they proactively set up another call in the ve

Do you have any resources on the latest with electrolytic carbon fixation? Like, how do you go from solar panels -> energy -> plants?

IMO this all hinges on if the company has traction with the new direction and pivot. If there is traction, the message to investors becomes clearer and there is motivation to invest regardless of you being around especially if there is a cl

Have you used Topaz Labs? That denoising is pretty good, definitely more advanced than a tuned-up gaussian.

Not too familiar with CoralCDN, will check that out. Would say the comparison with IPFS is apt, BitTorrent though requires people to seed on a per file basis right? so versioning for the source of truth etc becomes tough and you need people

Ok I know it's not in vogue right now but this is actually a good use for the blockchain. Like the database here could just be placed on-chain in a smart contract, and anyone could read it (for free, only writes would cost money) forev

Has there been a study done yet similar to the racial bias in medical imaging study to see if a neural net can detect it?

What is the complex answer then? The parent's question is salient. Using your analogy as well, you could say humans see the world through the visual spectrum and reason about the world through that, although there is certainly much mor

I was surprised by this too, but AWS only has 32% of cloud market share https://www.parkmycloud.com/blog/aws-vs-azure-vs-google-clou... .

Depends on the state but at least in TX parents would be liable for a fine if caught giving their children tobacco ( https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/tobacco/regulatory.php ). Of course that's not enforceabl

There's an online form where you upload your info, they verify your income level (duration does not matter), and that's it (at least in NY). I don't think any government healthcare programs cover care outside that government&

If you live in NY or CA (not sure about other states) and are under retirement age, Medicaid is a thing and works great. No asset limit, just income, so regardless of what you've saved you're likely eligible - so you can quit your

It's funny because this seems like a textbook case of the innovator's dilemma (from Clayton Christensen) in a nutshell - what worked for Intel was just working so well, that cannibalizing it with something new didn't make sen
