I saw a claim at the time that a handful of employees rallied everyone else to sign the letter and post support on Twitter. Between that and Altman reportedly having a vindictive streak, I'm thinking the actual employee support was pap

It's a challenging problem. The whole of Web 2.0 is built on lowering scaling costs as far as possible. The trust problem is itself very big - if someone makes the modern equivalent of the Yahoo directory, how do they establish trust t

Aside from the apples-to-oranges claim that a chatbots teaches you more than a search engine, it's extremely unlikely that AI will remain ad-free. Ads seem to be at a local minimum of the information economy and I don't see how ch

The federalist system is more complicated than that. To justify taking a case to the federal court system, it has to affect relations between US states, relations between any US entity and a foreign entity, events and actions that take plac

> I'd expect legality to be handled for me, inherited from the parent company. That sounds like a really bad idea for many many reasons. Lawyers are cheap compared to losing control, or even your stake, to legal shenanigans.

I'm guessing the ones who actually left Reddit did what I did - they disengaged from the site and then deleted all their content and accounts. It's pointless to complain without any actual power. The relevant stakeholders here are

Marketing, sales, market testing, and doing what customers want are inherently messy processes. I think people who spend too much time immersed in purely technical work start to think that messy processes are inherently wrong, because there

If the AI doesn't get the mechanics right, and you have subtle game-breaking bugs that make it impossible to complete, you will never be able to fix it.

I have exactly the same question. I'm most likely to switch to Linux; I've heard that game support is a lot better than it used to be, and Valve has given developers an extra incentive to be compatible with Linux because of the St

Thanks for the clarification; I genuinely wasn't sure which you meant.

I'm usually somewhat understanding of this kind of thing, but this should be a local app only doing local things, not validating content with the cloud for safety. Not only does that mean that MS is putting a filter gate on your own co

"They're claiming copyright...." Who is "they" in this sentence, the company from the OP or Meshy? I'm guessing the company from the OP?

What is endearing and admirable as the underdog very easily becomes contemptible abuse in the biggest dog of the pack. It's not a contradiction - the hacking spirit is a trait that causes more damage the more power you have.

If they really did that then (A) it's not much better (B) they didn't even wait for an answer from Johansson (C) it's extraordinarily reckless to go from zero to big-launch feature in less than two days.

I have a vague sense that mathematicians take some pride in the uselessness of their discipline, even when it's the exact opposite of useless. Maybe because the more useless the mathematics appears to be, the more it must be motivated

It's general-purpose AI as AI is commonly understood, which is probably specific and useful enough for such a report.

I think the real problem with the OP's straw-proposal interpolation method is that it's stateless and doesn't need to be. I would instead record the start position, then interpolate along a function F(t) to the end position.

Yes, there are worlds in which a huge series of accidents and coincidences explain how this person isn't a scammer. They're just unbelievably unlikely to the point of being able to disregard the possibility entirely.

That story is bonkers. I don't know how any student of chemistry mistakes a rocky crumbly cream-colored solid for an extremely hazardous red-orange liquid with a literal aura of evil wafting off of it.

I always enjoy Derek Lowe's "Things I won't work with", but I have to admit they're getting a little stale for me (although of course this was from 2019 and it wasn't stale then). A writer can use the structure

The wonkiness of modifier keys is a constant barrier whenever I try to do anything to make a terminal environment more ergonomic. In the end I always go back to 100% IDEs and GUI document editors.

The incentives aren't structured properly for these things to happen, it has always been a sci-fi fairy tale that AGI would achieve these things.

I find personal email to be almost useless for anything other than mailing lists and online shopping messages. I don't consider it fixed; we already left it to burn.

Same impression here. The scene changes very abruptly from a sky view to following the car. The cars meld with the ground frequently, and I think I saw one car drive through another at one point.

At the bottom of the text blurb on the Veo page: "In the future, we’ll also bring some of Veo’s capabilities to YouTube Shorts and other products." So...you're not cynical, it's an explicit product goal.
