I think some skepticism is warranted. If this is a medication that most of us can be on and it comes with positive health benefits, that would mean that humans as a species have lower than optimal GLP-1 levels. I guess it’s possible that ou

That may be the narrative that the GOP has sold to the right, but it’s simply not true. Crime is down from what it was decades ago. The US is far from perfect but it’s not the crime ridden hellhole that the right portrays it to be. I’m also

Nothing says “stick it to the man” like having heads of state and some of the wealthiest people on the world be heavily invested and doing business with crypto.

The criticism was that UB worked at a company that allegedly didn’t ship code to production, not that he doesn’t have a corpus of open source projects on GitHub.

I’m sure you can find some evidence of that. You also need to find evidence that every department that is getting slashed has those kind of inefficiencies. The government is large and complex. Even inside large companies, which are comparat

It’s like if Google employees complained about Google paying Apple a bunch of money to be the default search engine on Safari. “Why are we spending so much money propping up another mobile OS when we have our own to worry about? Let them de

Only time will tell if Google’s caution in productizing their technology was prescient or just a dumb business decision. It seems like we’re moving into an environment where the US and China will try to beat each other at achieving AGI with

Google did absolutely have a moat on internet search. It wasn’t just about bankrolling a an alternative as Microsoft proved time and time again.

The biggest risk when going with a long established solution is the potential danger of picking something that is on its way out of the zeitgeist. Not that picking your tech stack should be a popularity contest (and in fact many people make

I feel like you ignored the many qualifiers in the parent comment. I read it as painting broad generalizations rather than stating universal facts about all twitter users. It wasn’t just the OP who noticed people posting fluff. It was a mem

Does this goes both ways? Can I infringe of Disney’s IP on the grounds that their stories are so derivative that they aren’t actually that new? The betterment of humanity seems to involve some parties making a ton of money while the people

This thread is trying to have a serious conversation about the merits and dangers of the US banning TikTok. I don’t think it’s going to happen. There’s too much value for Trump to leave on the table. He’s a showman and he’s giving us, mainl

I guess it depends on the goal. If you just want to build things then you don’t need anyone’s permission, but if you want people to use it or to make a living off it, it’s important to know why people would use what you’re building.

It’s very difficult to recreate the network effects of an app like TikTok. If it were easy, Zuckerberg would have already done it.

The people directly responsible for advancing the latest AI tech are both small in number relative to the entire population of devs and they also have a chance of building generational wealth as a result of it. The rest of us are trying to

What do you mean by stealth? I looked at the website and nothing about it makes it look like it would necessarily be free or open source.

It’d be interesting to understand why immigrants to Canada are disproportionately coming from a small number of locations. Unless there’s a good reason behind it I think it’s reasonable to find a better balance.

Sorry to sound like a party pooper but this project gives off strong “fake it till you make it” vibes. Most AI projects I’ve seen share some type of information on how they work, yet this is completely devoid of it. Is this a new approach t

What a future. We can generate images with words, turn those into physical objects at home, but I can’t read the plain text and images describing it because of a broken site.

How is this a counter argument that LLMs are marketed as having intelligence when it’s more accurate to think of them as predictive models? The fact that humans are also flawed isn’t super relevant to a $200/month LLM purchasing decisi

Be sure that people management or a PM role is something you’re actually interested in as opposed to just being a plan B. If someone asks why you’re switching, “because I grew bored with coding” is a terrible answer. Each of them also has i

My issue with YouTube channels that focus on AI news is that they’re heavily incentivized to give you a frequent stream of attention-grabbing news. Week-by-week updates aren’t that helpful. It’s easy to miss the bigger picture and there’s t
