Object detection can 'normalise' the shape of your couch from a noisy input, and the upscaling algorithms we've seen recently can clean up the textures. It's only an aggressive short-term R&D effort away from being t

As an Australian who has recently visited both the states and Japan, I can attest that there is a significant difference in the quality and care for the commons in both. Personal anecdote: I saw a drunk Japanese businessman vomit on the sid

Imagine the impact on moviemaking that this will have within just a few iterations of processing power. Thousands of hours of visual effect artist work in film and TV will soon be abstracted into some high-level commands, transformed by sof

The point is not that one can/can't do it elsewhere, but Netlify makes it easy. You are less likely to run into that one frustrating problem that takes you hours to solve (like writing a build and deploy tool in bash) - Netlify do

My understanding of node's birth and rapid rise was that it was "backend tooling for frontend-devs" - suddenly it gave the front-end teams the power they needed to launch quickly using what they knew. I've been looking f

Both The Economist and Bloomberg have focused on new monopolies in the past few months, and a key problem has been quantifying the "moat" that provides companies with a lasting advantage. Seems to me that a "moat" is mos

Your product is wonderful, and arguably if you'd just had the conversation on Aether instead of Github, the moderation tools you've spent so long building would have prevented you seeing that crap. Respect. Building is hard. Liste

A moral framework is inherently subjective, so it should be no surprise that the rights of the unborn are considered more important in some than others. Christianity arguably disagrees with you - see the tale of Onan. Buddhists likewise con

This is what always puzzled me about the Google-Alphabet strategy, specifically the idea of having all the assets under a single share ticker (GOOGL). The more services you put under one banner, the more the stink of one disaster is going t

Why would you need to build a railgun? Nuking Ceres a bunch of times at the correct angle should achieve the same thing. But - there's a non-zero chance that this collision, whether by railgun or nuke, endangers life on earth. Problema
