The business was in the wrong, so unless they rectify and refund my money I wouldn't use their platform again anyway.

Charge back with your credit card if Lyft isn't willing to help you. Keep businesses in check.

> we have given it decades Decades is a short amount of time in human history. Many things took centuries to invent. The silicon valley approach of a year or two of runway is how apps are built, but that's not how science is built.

It's actually not that difficult to pick up quantum mechanics and quantum computing if you have a solid foundation in linear algebra. QC really just reduces down to "applied linear algebra on crack". If you're in AI, you

Frequent reauth only makes people figure out hacks to work around it. Passwords get written down, passwords end up in Google Docs, Arduinos with servos get attached to Yubikeys, SMS gets forwarded to e-mail, TOTP codes get sent over Wechat,

The reality is nobody can afford houses anymore, everyone is renting, so modifying doors is usually not an option. If you can work with existing infrastructure without modifying it, that is marketable.

The world flip flops from flat to 3D UI design every few years. We were in a flat era for the last several years, this kicks off the next 3D era.

These kind of "off-white" colors of the 1980s are making a comeback these days; they were considered dated design during the early 2000s but in the 2020s they're "in" again, e.g. anthropic.com, hume.ai, ...

Yeah that's why I didn't write the app already. I feel like the people who want "better faked depth" usually just end up buying a real camera.

It's not that they deliberately made a math error, it's that it's a very crude algorithm that basically just blurs everything that's not within what's deemed as the subject with some triangular, Gaussian, or other

I think the reason it looks fake is because they actually have the math wrong about how optics and apertures work, and they make some (really bad) approximations but from a product standpoint can please 80% of people. I could probably make

I can't imagine sharing a kitchen with anyone but my own partner. Cleanliness is the bare minimum, but design and aesthetics is a big part of it. I'm very particular about how my kitchen (and living space in general) looks. I coor

I suspect diffusion models can shine at denoising single shot deep sky images. Will be attempting when I find bandwidth. I do a lot of deep sky landscape photography (IG: @dheeranet) and I want to do them in one go instead of stacking groun

It's not really something to be sarcastic about. I've actually done this, setting aside a virtual machine specifically for the purpose, trying to move a step towards a full-blown AI agent.

I mean, we're at the very early stages of code generation. Like self-driving cars and human drivers, there will be a point in the future when LLM-generated code is less buggy than human-generated code.

It would presumably be more secure to have the recipient receive them directly with a cell phone or satellite device. Printing them creates a literal paper trail and footsteps.
