I haven't used AI yet but I definitely would love a tool that could do the drudgery for me for designs that I already understand. For instance, if I want to store my own structures in an RDBMS, I want to lay the groundwork and say &quo

So what happened with previous customers who (I'm presuming) paid for the app? Did their app keep running or were they given a refund? I am guessing it used publicly available weather data, but even then, if the server names changed (a

unfortunately I think you're right, the cons massively outweigh the pros. One constructive use would be making on-demand audiobooks.

Black rock shouldn't buy any family homes. Not a single one. I'm sick of the arguments that rely on the meaning of "most/many/some/not all". The arguments are irrefutable because you can always weasel your

They should have some kind of controls: - throttle how much a new account can wager, allowing more to be placed after the account gets older - limit double-down bets to some fraction of your initial. To reduce the benefit of last minute wag

Similar vein: reading in general is down, overall. Especially among young people. "Banning" a book isn't affecting anyone, it just gets a bunch of people riled up on two political tribes. Now, if they actually banned a book

I also want to shout out to Emby, which is almost identical to Jellyfin. It seems a bit more polished, and works very well. I've been using it for over 2 years. It does have a paid tier and nags me to upgrade for 10s on my TV, but that

You are just reciting the "fancy reasoning" that I already mentioned. All the esoteric stuff is designed to do is concentrate the wealth into the hands of the wealthy. It is a step away from fractional ownership.

I agree with that. For code, most of it was in a "public space" similar to driving down a street and training the model on trees and signs etc. The property is not yours but looking at it doesn't require ownership.

Not just that, but if it were "fractional ownership in a business" then every profitable company would pay a dividend. Now it has become normalized to not do such a thing with all sorts of fancy reasoning.

google has a lot more products besides the 2 you picked. Some of them are wildly successful, even. Maybe they use their "best engineers" on the more successful products?

Let's say they are paying for "research". The research is very expensive and has a high likelihood of being worthless, but a small likelihood of having value later. So by claiming the financial loss, they can offset the cost
