You might be underestimating how many Cybertruck buyers are not pickup truck buyers. Also not sure that a little added charging convenience is going to sway Cybertruck buyers to an F150. The "antialiased 3D polygon" design is a bi

I would guess that on the whole hashtags provide negative value to users. It's a neat idea but it almost immediately devolves into SEO spam.

It's wild to me that there's still no dedicated hardware MIDI sequencer that's designed for making _songs_. Pretty much everything is designed for making lots of 16 step patterns. But then arranging those patterns is a myster

You're splitting hairs. The average reader surely isn't going to separate the wealthy tech entrepreneurs from OpenAI, and they shouldn't — OpenAI is still run by wealthy tech entrepreneurs. The point is that it's disinge

You could've said the same about Notion and its current valuation is at least 10B. Don't let this kind of feedback deter you, OP.

Alright, so then you're NOT going to pay artists for their labor? In the current system, artists might work for many years on a single work, or work many years perfecting their craft before anyone wants to pay for their work. Copyright

You didn't answer my questions at all. But ok so I'm a young musician. Nobody's heard of me and nobody wants to commission a concert or album. What do I do? Quit? @Vicinity9635 It's not just lawyer greed, it creates econ

How do you know what the value of the art will be before it's created? Guns N' Roses is a top 40 artist on Spotify nearly 35 years after producing an album. Should they not have been paid after 1991? If you argue that they were a

That seems like a great way to destroy what is left of art as we know it. Anna Karenina is just numbers. In The Mood For Love is just numbers. Right. What do you propose is the business model for artists in the absence of copyright?

Surely there are ways to improve and simplify the pinsetting machine without resorting to strings? I suppose it's not a glamorous engineering challenge but this feels like a pretty lazy "solution"

My experience (FAANG) has been the opposite. PMs want to dream up features and put together a roadmap and then they think their work is done. A great PM is both creating a vision or plan and guiding the execution and iteration. The plan is

Seems easier to just break Beeper's implementation a few times. No one wants to use a messaging service that works sometimes.

Morality and legality are the only relevant questions in the discussion. The two methods are virtually the same... in fact I'd argue that ByteDance's usage is more fair and moral. It really doesn't matter than it's cheap

What "muscle" did spotify add? Not sure the metaphor works. It's bloat from bad management and copying what other companies are doing.

There are two giant download buttons on the Noiselith homepage. The mac button downloads a dmg and the windows button downloads an exe.

No idea whether or not the UI is user-friendly, but the installation steps alone for InvokeAI are already a barrier for 99.9% of the world. Not to say Noiselith couldn't be open-source, but it's clearly offering something differen

Doesn't Telegram have like 10x the number of users that Signal has? Even if channels are popular I would imagine there's plenty of 1-1 and personal usage on Telegram. Data point of one: I use Telegram with about 20 contacts for pe

Okay but how many people are actually transferring large amounts of data to and from their iPhones via cables? And on the rare occasion that they are transferring 10GB of data, it takes a minute or two? And if they're doing it frequent

It's not the same. If you make exactly the same mouse movements in paint 100 times, you will get 100 identical images. If you enter the exact same midjourney prompt 100 times, you'll probably get 100 different resulting images. Th

YouTube made 28bn in ad revenue and probably somewhere in the range of 5-10bn (and growing) in ad-free subscription revenue last year, so it's clearly a viable model even if what you say is partially true. That said, I'd argue tha

I had an M2 Air and ended up swapping for the 14 M1 Pro. The Air was plenty powerful and I loved the weight and battery life, but: - The 14" Pro's native resolution is 3024x1964, which means at 1512w you're getting perfect do

What's the practical benefit of this? Metro North already runs into Grand Central, which is less than minutes away from Penn Station. You don't even have to go outside if you don't want to. Would much rather see progress on I
