I recently needed to buy some hardware for a piece of furniture. Ran Codex, it found it for 18% less than what I found in the top Google results. It did it by finding smaller shops, applying a discount code, subscribing to a newsletter for

The best trick I have after asking it nicely in all sort of ways is: 1. Have it build a scoring script that penalizes words outside a simple English list and approved jargon. Penalize sentences over 15 words as well. Add whatever else. 2. R

Aren’t Waymo prices above Uber’s? That’s what I’ve seen in SF. That is to say that I don’t think the economics work. You’re better off offering free Ubers. And I doubt that will solve many issues.

This is not a very charitable explanation, it takes politicians at their word during a war. (One should not do that, and you can refer to Putin’s language at 2022 as a parallel example to Trump’s) The initial US goals clearly were: 1. Regim

Where I live (NYC) putting altered images like that has been the norm for more than a decade. It’s just used to be more expensive to hire someone to do it for you. The altered images always e free stirs the same bright walls and grey magazi

The Linux kernel is not in any way at top of big projects. A kernel, as the name suggests, deals with specific issues and tries to remain small. The world’s biggest software is usually built over endless adapters of different data and a nee

Now let’s see you do this with 40B. The f you can do that I will be intrigued, since it sounds like you solved a bunch of complicated economic problems.

The truth is that the backlash is stronger against E2EE . Avoiding E2EE is less PR hassle to Meta than having it. As a supporter, I must admit the E2EE interest groups have not had the upper hand recently (if ever)

They are blocked from insider trading I think this in the previous comment undervalue just how many more complicated ways there are for corruption to bubble. Assume super strict rules. Consider this example to circumvent them: Senator-elect

Recent research disproves the old limit which has grabbed headlines like that old half a glass of red wine is good for you paper. And also. Up to a certain point is still a correlation. Getting a lot of downvotes by people not knowing what

Because research on this topic supports it. Happiness and wealth are correlated.

No they can’t just draw by themselves. It’s extremely bad and random. Their teachers teach them from a very early age how to hold a carton, and how to draw. Maybe some miraculous humans will reinvent all drawing of growing by themselves in

Here’s one example: I just recently used for image generation to design my balcony. It was a great way to see design ideas imagined in place and decide what to do. There are many cases people would hire an artist to illustrate an idea or ea

Roughly, trying to keep it with minimal judgement, as hard as it is: - since 79 Iran is marking the US and Israel as enemy countries. (The US due to the 50s revolution, Israel because of the Palestinian problem?) - Iran has been developing

I slightly corrected it not to trick op. But to clarify their position was naive. Sorry about that. It still is naive no matter the quote though. It’s also naive to dump down the conflict to being over oil. Oil is being used as leverage. Bu

Quick reminder, the only humans to ever make it to the moon did it due to “barbaric tribes showing who’s better”. It wasn’t bankrolled with billions for the good of society. Being naive is fun, but being realistic about the species we are i

You also have to be quite stupid to do it with insider knowledge. A bunch of them have been caught in Israel. Being indicted for treason and treason like charges sounds worse than the SEC coming after you.

The people who need the constant price do that, but creating this contract generates an investment at the same time. The person promising the price is taking a premium to take the risk, they can the sell that risk in a free market.

Meta did a bunch of mistakes, and look like Zuckerberg spent a lot of money on talent and made big swings to change it (that happened about a year ago) I think it’s unrealistic to expect them to come back from that pit to the top in one yea

And it’s perfectly okay to fix and improve the code later. Many super talented developers I know will say “Make it work, then make it good”. I think it’s okay to do this on a bigger scale than just the commit cycle.

That chapter struck me as paranoia and hit piece. What really happens there, if you ignore the author’s spin on it and concentrate on the facts is Sheryl is repeatedly asking her pregnant employee to please come stay in the big bed in the p

I personally find that fighting dismissive attitudes is better done by not being dismissive towards other things (or people in this case) It’s healthier for the discussion culture here as well.

Have you seen an agentic AI work its way through blockers? If it’s in the mood, it will find something not blocked that can do what it wanted.

All 1049 posts were peaceful? The pdf mentions this was mostly after October 7th, a terrorist (as in, meant to induce fear by targeting civilians) attack which was live streamed on Facebook and posted repeatedly during that day. I’m surp

My car hit the breaks for me last week on a highway. I’m quite happy with the computerization of cars for this reason. It could be better as the link shows the downsides, but it probably has saved (tens of?) thousands of lives overall.

Generally, all problems used for crypto are in NP. Since given the secret, you need to be able to compute it efficiently. It’s just that being NP hard or complete is not enough. The theoretical definition of one way functions is used to def

Ok, but then what is a way to do it? The text gives an example to the core problem, and to argue differently requires thinking around it. In practice. I’ve seen many attempts at measuring productivity, but once you dig into them, you see th

Credit cards provide kickbacks (ahem, cashback) to customers while virtually all products cost the same for debit or credit. If you use debit, you might be leaving 2% of the deal on the table. (But you are helping the merchant, which could

Barring all the issues, if you did build a huge fleet of autonomous taxis - smaller, lighter cars with less moving pieces would save you a lot of money. 2 seater - smaller car No wheels or stuff - saves money on the build and parts.

Consider the alternative: richer people, the few of them, but your game, other people pirate your game. Now instead, you find a way to get the amount of dollars a person can pay extracting cents from the people who used to pirate a game, an
