I suspect people who dunk on this haven't actually tried using Copilot / ChatGPT for coding in their workflow in any meaningful way. For me, I love engineering, and I'm very experienced at it. But I use Copilot/ChatGPT

What's wild is that it turns out we were only a few years away from technology that could completely replace the purpose of the cinema camera, with off the shelf GPUs on a normal desktop (NeRFs)

Yea this is almost certainly the correct answer. I think any founders that raised a round in the last 2 years can easily understand how this happened. Especially to Sequoia, which felt like they were behind in crypto investments (while a16z

I was skeptical about this concept when I first heard it, until I actually tried some of the latest image models. Now, I’m fully bought in that this is correct. There’s a model you can use on hugging face, for example, where you can feed it

Not too hard, just "map reduce" it: Have GPT-3 summarize each section of the article, and then have it summarize the summaries.

They own most of the largest music venues in the world, after their acquisition of Live Nation in 2012. So, if Katy Perry goes on tour and needs to choose a ticketing provider, she pretty much has no choice because several of those venues w

A lot of comments here saying corporations have hiring budgets and you're wrong, etc. I guarantee you startups < 100 people do not actually have formal hiring budgets. A lot of people here haven't actually been employers before

That's something that 99% of software teams probably don't have to deal with... (I've never worked on one or heard of one that had to) I wouldn't be too worried about it if I were a company working on cloud IDEs for now.

Idk about the European job market, but in general the CS Masters is pretty useless. That time is far better spent working in industry, in pretty much every dimension. The only time it's worth getting higher degrees in CS is if you inte

Woah, this is very dangerous. We'd basically have to go back to web 1 (no user-generated content) if Section 230 were struck down.

You're totally right about startup times with apps like VSCode, but there's a reason that never gets worked on really: the most active users startup those pro apps (VSCode, Photoshop, etc.) and simply don't close them . Opti

TLDR: The Pres. of FTX made a confusing tweet about some external FDIC-insured accounts FTX uses to store some customer funds, that the FDIC claims could imply FTX accounts themselves are FDIC insured. And another tweet that says "stoc
