Give it some time to get situated in the marketplace. There are a ton of "middleware" companies that are going to get absolutely crushed by openai when businesses commit.

Paying a bribe should not get you in trouble. The city forces their hand. One stroke of their pen and your design costs increase by tens of thousands under some minor pretext. If you want to get something done you absolutely have to brib

Of course landlords want to make money. Some make a lot and some make a little. But only recently has "profit-making" become a dirty word.

It's well established that in high demand areas like CA regulations are excessively burdensome. But go ahead and increase regulations, maybe I can retire earlier as a result! More likely scenario to solve the affordability issue is 40

Bankruptcy is nothing to be ashamed about although it's preferable to avoid it. The world changes a lot and it's trivial to get caught in situations where it is unavoidable. Bankruptcy provides a legal way to force some restructur

When will people learn that more taxes make things more expensive? It's like people actually want to have world of obscenely rich and obscenely poor people... with nothing in the middle.

In a place like SF it’s really quite fun to commute to the office. I can easily see cities not having much WFH. Elsewhere, the commute just wrecks your soul. Glad to hear SF bouncing back!

Housing costs are just a symptom of high cost of living. High income taxes. Fees and taxes on everything. Burdensome regulations for everything. Oppressive cult environment. No political power or will to change. Highly litigious environment

Humans are human. What is with the obsession to make us into machinery.

There was an early kickstarter for a watch that did something similar and I backed it, thinking it was brilliant. One of the first times I wore it was to a meeting, someone asked about it and when I explained how it worked he refused to con

If you don't like mudslinging, stay out of politics. Otherwise, maybe try understanding WHAT people are saying and not just focus on HOW they say it.

Agree. Things are very unstable and undergoing significant change. I don't think anything will coalesce until after November 2024 at the earliest. Even still, plan for long term uncertainty. 1) stay hopeful and positive, and preserv

I wonder if we could build a huge floating "island of plants" in the great pacific garbage patch?

This comes up so much it's like a pathological condition. If the voting population want's more houses the solution is not to tax people out of their homes - that just swaps house occupants - the solution is to build more houses.

Maybe if the commute was on the clock, people would be more willing to do it.

This, exactly. We need far more (and larger) protected wildlife areas.

I am very interested in using tech to help the ocean. Does anyone have ideas for technical solutions to this?

I must be getting old, this argument is so tired. W could save X if just Y % stopped doing Z. Stop micromanaging people, bring freedom back. /sigh

Sewing apparel can be really hard to figure out by yourself, even with youtube. The best way (imo) to learn is to find a self-paced, bring your own project kind of class. A skilled instructor will help you step-by-step with a project you a

I've been sewing my own clothes now for about a decade, and it is the one of the most rewarding hobbies I have ever had. Go for it!

Oh they will. And when they do, all you can do is pay whatever amount they decide. Ask me how I know.

I got it to work with MPS by having pytorch with mps support and then editing the cli.py file to allow the use of mps: Allow passing in --device="mps": ie: choices=["cuda", "cpu", "mps"] Set kwargs: k

Which law does that violate?

No, it’s wrong for people to lose their money when it’s in the bank. Deposits should be better protected and maybe banks need more regulations to prevent this sort of thing. I don’t know the solution but we need innovative banks like SVB.

Not I, although I tried. All the ML engineers I have encountered thus far have a Ph.D in physics or math. No way I can compete with that level of education!
