This is literally almost all fluff and contains no details about doordashes shitty and shoddy business practices (signing up restaurants without their consent and offering discounts in their app). They have no proprietary technology that gi

by bfeynman 4y ago
Doordash is a zombie company propped up by VCs, their tech is trash. I remember reading their "ML Engineering blog" and it was the most elementary crap every, they just used google maps apis for delivery and we're trying to

that's exactly opposite of consumer behavior, people want simple experience they can trust. That's why google and amazon are so popular, even with their flaws, no one wants to scan multiple different providers to get a simple ans

It's incredibly annoying to read all these news articles that really never touch upon or lead with fact that Google basically invented the technology, has had similar one for some time (even made the news with the engineer who thought

I think this is a joke or something a la MSCHF, their spokesperson is the Gigachad lol.

This is really the quality of projects we're upvoting? This is a python script that calls another API.

yeah wow, imagine a company providing a free product in exchange for the externalities it provides like more traffic and marketing, unheard of!!

ChatGPT is cool, but you're misappropriating what you think is a solution to a problem that you cannot understand. If you cannot understand the question, it doesn't matter what the solution is. Why does it matter if it can answe

surprised this pump n dump is still publicly listed.

by bfeynman 4y ago
You are not even describing a problem, and you seem to thoroughly misunderstand how ChatGPT works, it is able to digest new material, where does that material come from? Getting answers to basic facts is not a valuable skill and is not so

That's not what education is about. AI is not novel concepts, and learning is not just rote facts. Things are answerable by AI because humans have written it and recorded it. It dismays me seeing such poor takes everywhere about how

I too go to dinner and expect to pay with the pearl I find in my oyster. FAANG are relatively merit based jobs that pays exceptionally above band and a lot of people try to get into them. The jobs are scarce, sure there is more talent, bu

I find there is something aesthetically and professionally pleasing about the plain old term "colleagues".

can anyone link to summary of how underlying tech works?
256.
by bfeynman 4y ago
My guess is they probably put more money into it (higher quality appliances and such) to get higher rent that would give acceptable cap rate.

Wow, you've discovered lending and personal loans.

by bfeynman 4y ago
you said they needed more support for existing products.

by bfeynman 4y ago
they aren't running out of capacity, they just can't afford 100k+ a day in compute. Number of users who will pay will be much less so I doubt they will have problems
260.
by bfeynman 4y ago
Other than just marketing BS, probably lack of customers who use GPUs. Both AWS and GCP have capacity issues. The biggest factor is also that Google is a direct competitor and invented the technology even, so obviously they will not canni

Anecdotally I disagree. I think I have a pretty eclectic taste, and spotify has helped me discover tons of new songs, but also still keeps my daily mixes coherent. I find myself listening to their autogenerated ones most of the time since

by bfeynman 4y ago
I think your view is very simplistic and reductionist on how tech companies work. They are not not factories, they did not over hire to get boots on ground for support. They were hiring and creating brand new things with glee as stock and

What a great way to spin "we've been losing money for 15 years and cannot afford real talent anymore"

33$ to mail trash...? Hoping that this is viable just for people who want to compost in backyard and don't need to pay extra to ship trash.

I'm in same boat as you, but I've noticed the autosuggested feed, shown after pauls is mostly far right paid twitter blue subscribers.

I did not say anywhere that I was happier, rather I was surprised that something I feverishly would check constantly multiple times a day could disappear and I wouldn't have any problem with it or urge to get it back. It's anecdo

Do research yourself don't listen to randos on internet. Just look up on google scholar results for "implantable electrodes scarring" you can get hundreds of papers on it.

I'm not expert but was involved in adjacent field, so I do not have a singular explanation and one pager. Neuroscience/biology research is complex, but a good indicator is that there are hundreds of papers on trying to modulate r

I deactivated my twitter, after constantly checking it for updates and the like all the time. I don't miss it at all, don't even have urge to find it again. Think that might speak a lot to the attention economy and how fragile i

Seems like inflection point has been hit with tesla and EV industry. I remember not even that long ago tesla would try to drive sales by increasing prices and telling people to order before higher price goes into effect.
