   They put individual video frames as images in S3. That’s ubsurdly dumb. It’s like putting a frame buffer on an HDD.

   I’m all for big, fast, monoliths - but I’m not sure I want to hear it from the team that saved video frames to s3 in their AWS Step Function video encoder.

   This uses a log y axis. The circles are actually better for visualizing.

   Are they porting their acclaimed tabloid news service or does that stay in cpp?

   I suspect Europe’s economy would be larger if it had more real kings and queens. Its share of global output peaked under that system. On the other hand their democracy feels strained and exhausted, which is not helped by the contingent be

   This seems completely irrational and emotionally driven. If a single person was responsible it would be easier to show this, but one of the perks of a large organization is that no one is responsible for anything.

    The fact that Microsoft is the 2nd largest company in the world and enjoys a very close relationship with the Federal Government makes it even worse. Very cyberpunk, very dystopian. Overall, this kind of thing makes the species worse off.

    "Open"Ai is still better than Google. Google is so closed they made a GPT-2.5 and got so scared they put the tech on a shelf.

    To my untrained eye, Latex still lays out words in paragraphs in a nicer looking way. Hopefully this can be improved.

    The smiley face is not centered and doesn't look very good. Agree with the idea though.

    You either do AI and talk about AI ethics (OpenAI) or do AI ethics and talk about AI (Google).

    So California, a state where slavery was never legal, is going to tax its citizens, many of whom were not in the country when slavery was legal in the south, and call it justice?

    Unless a tool is so ubiquitous and widely used that it becomes a new standard (like JavaScript), over abstraction is a very real problem.

    This is great to see. I hope they expand to offer VPSs and domains in the future. Those are two areas where I have serious privacy concerns and am seeking a zero trust solution.

    Supporting this view, practically every person I've met who made it from a Public School to the Ivy League talks about 1 or 2 teachers making all the difference. The rest don't register and some are harmful. The story is usually s

    I'm not sure if anyone has tried doing this as a going concern, but economists have done a pretty convincing (IMO) analysis of teachers value-add ex post. The most well known is the 2014 Raj Chetty paper. Seems to support your view. h

    This Raj Chetty paper on teacher quality makes a strong case for doing whatever you can to get as many good teachers as possible (and as few bad ones). https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/aer.104.9.263
