There's nothing wrong with consuming generated output for training. Blindly accepting trash input is the issue.

But the wealthy don't spend their money. A billionaire doesn't spend more money than a million people on...anything probably.

There's a bit of a mental difference between being able to (literally) endlessly swipe up to the next tiktok vs having to click the next button on hn though.

I've toyed around with a similar idea. A pizza shop style manufacturing/fixit hub that would pick up and deliver locally manufactured items like that. I even think that repairing items at a loss could work out, because you'd

I found an 1969 ad for a kitchenaid mixer. It's cost $125 in 1969 dollars. That's over $1000 in todays dollars. You're comparing a mixer that costs half as much. And, believe me, fixing the skimp issues that kitchenaid intr

Products of the past did not last longer. Products of the past for the same price point as today (adj for inflation) especially did not last longer, if they even existed at that price point.

Why would it be better? If you can cancel your competitors contracts and award them to yourself, the only incentive you have is to just...raise the price.

YouTube is such a great, single-source, area for this. It's wild how many 10m+ subscriber youtube channels that I've never even heard of . So much variety in the world :)

I'd disagree a bit there. I do something similar, saving interesting webpages, and it's really really nice being able to quickly search for something that I halfway remember a few months down the line. I'm not saving everythi

It's not like that though, especially when you have the *arr software + jellyfin all setup. It's literally a matter of type name -> watch at that point. It definitely used to be like that, and it was enough of a hassle that I w

The argument is that the previous system wasn't a meritocracy either, and by accounting for the existing biases we gather up the talent that was previously ignored. You don't stop reading the resume upon hitting <minority group

Honestly, you'd be shocked at how much gaming you can get done on the integrated gpus that are just shoved in these days. Sure, you won't be playing the most graphically demanding things, but think of platforms like the Switch, or

No, but it's a papercut. You can piss off 1% of your customers and get 1 star reviews, but do that a bunch of times and it adds up.

I doubt much. We've been pumping billions of tons of co2 and only slightly raised co2 and that's a small small portion of the air in the atmosphere.

That's kind of interesting that you say that, since multiple characters are raising money due to medical reasons. Technically it's not debt (treatment hasn't occurred, no money is owed), but medical issues are still a big dea

Honestly, I'd say that the vision pro is going to get less traction with VR enthusiasts because it's not that much better in some respects, and much worse in many others. The vision pro is much more suited to people who haven&

https://openlibrary.org/ has a pretty good set of data and a decent API. You can mix and match too, since openlibraries covers kinda suck half the time.

LLMs are a tool though, so it benefits getting in early and gaining experience using the tool. Companies need to either train up people using a tool, or buy that expertise with the tool. Not to mention all the LLM adjacent tools as well. It

Would it really be any worse than living near an airport? Launches are loud, sure, but so is an airplane flying overhead.

I think the quote of "I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." it very fitting for this situation. Both that random nurse, and that nazi soldier are working for evil institutions. Being k

Hey now, the Nazi's believed they were making the world a better place. This guy was just lining his pockets off the bodies of his customers. He's in a class of evil above them. But, the ideal goal is to go from top down, and the

It doesn't need to be paid though, it's just a result of poor design and poor documentation. It's the only OS where I feel like I'm both 20 years in the future and 20 years in the past.

If it's affordable and practical for one person/team to do it, it's probably affordable for two or more groups to do it.

Except we didn't. Instead of 500 channels we don't want, we have 10 services with 50 channels. We've managed to actually find the worst of both worlds, which in of itself is an impressive accomplishment.

If someone pirates Photoshop, Pixelmator should be suing? Honestly, I'm surprised they don't try and add that into the super believable damages.

I very much disagree, your view in vr tracking your head as it does small movements in xyz significantly increases immersion, and more importantly, significantly decreases motion sickness and fatigue.
