The looking glass was only rated for 4,000 feet. Implosion happened around 9,000 feet, which would suggest the glass handled over twice its rated depth.

Also worth mentioning not all pixels are created equally. Many years ago a Nokia phone’s camera had 44mp but the images were worse than many 12mp phone cameras.

Most people won’t care for the extra definition going from 4k to 8k or 16k+. Barely perceptible.

That said, Microsoft’s plan on keeping GitHub independent and all the acceleration to make it a developer platform as opposed to just a VCS/SCM solution, with bets into CI/CD, security, and AI shows it would have been the better p

Sundar wasn’t even aware the deal was live. Greene had an infra background and didn’t understand GitHub or what made it special. If I had to guess, Google never formally made a Board-approved offer.

That’s the egregious thing. They wanted 20x their own revenues per user. And mind you that’s comparing revenues and costs. So it’s actually like 40-60 times more.

Oh man. I remember playing the paladin/knight character and I was 6 years old, didn’t know English. Spent maybe 100 hours trying to kill a monster. Bugger just wouldn’t die. Couldn’t complete the game and had to play on other character

It’s further unclear whether a fine tuned model which has different weights counts as a copyright violation at all. Doesn’t stop a wealthy company from suing though.

This whole thing was about small sums of money. Reddit isn’t profitable. And now it’s going to pay an army of moderators? Yeah, good luck.

Reddit is seriously underestimating the impact of users waning in muscle memory launching their app or going on their site. This is going to cost them way more than the $1M per year or so in missed ad revenue from users who wouldn’t user th

I mean he was chumming up FTX before it imploded. He seems personally butthurt about crypto for some reason. He’s contradicting himself on statements just a few years ago. He has the maturity of a child, playing games.

This can kill an entire sub like FreeFolk. It imploded and never survived the fallout.

Reddit stated that non-commercial apps keep free API. Reddit leadership doesn’t like that itself isn’t profitable and that others get to profit without paying anything, unjust enrichment. Reddit won’t touch any dev that’s too small, only th

Or you know, just tell 3P apps, 30% of your top line is ours and call it a day. Would leave everyone thinking, well this is fair. The crazy part is how they are back tracking on things like API usage for mod tools and accessibility. They ga

Exactly. They’re not doing the deal because the $20M is complete BS.

The point here is, if Reddit thinks the user base is worth $20M per year, paying $10M to take over the app and implement ads on it, would be a steal. They’d return the money in 6 months. Usual payback periods are like 4-8 years. Clearly the

My understanding is that Reddit is saying that by not charging for the API they are losing $20M per year. So he said, well you can buy me out, and instead of doing a multiple of that $20M to be like $100M, he’s only asking for half of only

They can definitely be nerfed. Go private and no one gets invited. They can also block any new content except if on a post approved list, which could be as few as the mods. Each in effect would kill a sub.

Correct. If you go to the playground, choose Chat, you see two options, GPT4 and GPT4 (3/14). The former appears to be powering CharGPT4 right now and the latter is what used to be powering it.
