There are certainly some good points about some statements Carr has made that seem to be pushing at the limits of what the FCC actually has purview over, but the contention that Carr is "the most direct and sustained threat to the Firs

I feel like this is less a "Teslas don't work for police" as much as it's a "a small luxury mid-range sedan doesn't work for police". Like, of course it doesn't? Later in the article, it praises the F

Starlinks are being dropped for free by volunteers all over the Helene disaster area. They were being blocked by having to setup payment, so Elon made it free in that area to unblock them. This is an absurd article, the people who need Star

I don't think the MP3.com case is a good comparison, because copyright law is adjudicated on the output being infringing material, and in the case of MP3.com, the output was the exact songs they were storing. That's a much more

Listening to the ATC recording, I feel like the real problem is that they didn't explicitly say "hold short" (which means "wait right before the runway on the taxiway"), like they do in the US. If you say that phras

My guy, nearly every single tech CEO has done iowaska and stuff like that at this point. Steve Jobs used to go in front of Stanford business classes, sit at the front table cross-legged, call out a student at the front and ask "have yo

What you described is entirely fair use, actually. Not only that, look at a few news articles from Tier 2 and down publications, and you'll realize that almost all of them are directly sourced from NYT and others. They'll say &quo

Idk how you took away that he was criticizing the Starship program at all. SpaceX pivots designs on a swivel, conducts tons of incremental tests, and ends up succeeding at the claimed impossible time and time again. If anything, NASA should

The Castro example doesn't really fit here. That would be an assassination of a foreign national, not a domestic assassination like in Rabin's or Abe's.

Yea definitely makes sense to me that you're concentrating on the company's experience! It's also such a massive market (just like, all companies), that there's an insane amount of room to grow, even without tackling t

Um, yea, I would expect an app that is meant to help manage your meetings needs access to your calendar invites... that's the whole point. If you used this logic, you couldn't use any non-open-source calendar tool, or apps like Su

Glad to see this idea actually built! People kept talking about wanting this on Twitter. Makes a lot of sense inside companies. Definitely wish I had it at some past employers that had certain regular sync meetings that were pretty useless.

The article itself isn't actually dunking on AI, the title is a (kinda clever) clickbait. If you actually read it, the author uses image gen models and such a lot , and is opining on how technology that allows us to tinker and "w

I agree with the sentiment, but if anything is made clear by how ChatGPT plugins work, it's that standardization of a protocol here is unnecessary when you are talking about tooling designed to be used by LLMs. They can just figure it

That's straight up not true, unless that "demo learning project" is feeding GPT the entire Bible or something. I have a project that uses davinci-003 (not even the cheaper ChatGPT API) like crazy and I don't come close

Really nice API design! Also love the way you're handling workflow jobs, super intuitive. Definitely going to try this out!

It's not actually the same model. ChatGPT uses InstructGPT, which is davinci-003 with added RLHF training, which makes it a lot better at instructed tasks.
