I frequently buy a domain that I think is funny and use that to forward all my emails to my main email account. It's trivial to do from Cloudflare. Then after that 1 year is up, my domain goes away and so does all of the spam.

And when you can measure how effective those ads are in changing human behavior; it's easier for businesses to spend there. As an American, I would love it if pharmaceutical companies couldn't market to consumers. It would free up

You're correct. I was trying to build on the parent comment about convenience. Worst case this is an option I don't take, best case is that this would give me more time (shorter commute) with the benefits of being able to read or

+1 for convenience. My commute is 60 minutes of train + walking. I prefer that to driving for 30 minutes where I can't read or create.

I thought that the author had used AI to vibe code the software to help him look through the genomic data "Like all of the others, this WGS came back non-diagnostic. Unlike the others, my heartbreak had passed the point of hopelessness

Burr is named after Aaron Burr, founding father, third VP of the United States, and murderer/arch-nemesis of Alexander Hamilton. What's the connection with Hamilton? This is DAGWorks' second open-source library release after

There can be plenty of prior art; however, AI can democratize that knowledge. There are many things it's helped me accomplish which are trivial to people who are far more knowledgeable than me.

Apple hasn't "invented" most things, from the personal computer, MP3 Player, or smart phone. They tend to revolutionize the things by making them work extremely well.

It's a bond not a fee. If the maintainer feels that it's spam, they keep the bond. If they feel like it's not, they leave it.

I see AI as a barrier remover. Unfortunately some barriers are good or minimally necessary. I think we'll need to revert to artificial barriers such as bonds, e.g., if you want to do a PR to my repository you need to pay a 10 dollar bo

I would day that the dotcom was directionally correct but the timing was wrong. For instance you had pets.com in 1999 but in 2020 you had chewy.com. It's like you had broadcast.com in 2000 but by 2020 you had YouTube that was making mo

Lawful Masses with Leonard French (a very dry legal diagnosis of the Bricks and Minifigs drama) I was shocked to see how many things that I got wrong, especially about the consignment not automatically staying with the owner.

You're right that we don't have the facts. That said, the way that Bricks and Minifigs handled this has been horrible. The CEO should have said on camera that he's willing to work with the lego owner to return the property an

I believe they would need to dissolve the business entity. These default judgments against them should count as debt that needs to be paid before the business is closed unless they declare bankruptcy in court and not like Michael Scott.

They hired a PR firm that was looking at the base case and those averages. As Nassim Taleb points out, we live in Extremestan. No idea what the value was of the Bricks and Minifigs, but I'd be shocked if it hasn't dropped by 2 or

I believe what is missing is a Brick and Minifig's attorney with a law degree. This is why you shouldn't buy a business for 1 dollar because you can inherit its debts.

It also leaves OpenAI vulnerable to any GPU breakthroughs. You could imagine company X comes up with a XPU that is 100% faster than what's currently there.* * NVidia GPU, Google TPU, Apple SoC, etc.
