I would argue that they create a secondary item. The same way lumber is created from wood, and then picture frames from lumber. Value is added, and this creates revenue. Here, the value is virtual, but it's still value -> the market

One slight adjustment to your thinking, tech titans create massive value: "In 2021, the Big Five tech giants—Apple, Amazon, Google (Alphabet), Meta, and Microsoft—generated a combined $1.4 trillion in revenue." https://

IMO, I think that pursuing a standard of living for you and your family is a reasonable and honorable goal, even if that means work is a chore. If you can love what you do that's a perk, but even if it's not there, the goal still

I'm saying that access to world class hospitals in urban centers makes the difference. If you live 2 hours from the nearest medical center and all you have is the Dr. that's willing to live 30 minutes from you in a corn field...

Given that republican counties also tend to be rural, I wonder what would happen if you corrected along those lines...

The reality is likely that the algorithms are trying to increase viewership, not quality of views. So they are likely to feed you things that get you to watch another thing, rather than things that are worth watching, leave you satisfied, a

Does anyone know how safe such a thing could be? What keeps the virus from mutating and being dangerous?

You could simply encode a score for how well the output matches the input. If 25% of trees in summer are brown, perhaps the output should also have 25% brown. The model scores itself on frequencies as well as correctness.

I would say interactivity. A spreadsheet for example, you are constantly modifying rows. You want that in memory in the browser, not on a server, where you need to constantly be making ajax calls. How many micro-interactions do you want ---

But if the system learned from enough previous examples, you may get a better, more cohesive, and artistic result. Though given the fact that Google can't filter obvious spam from my inbox, past performance is an indicator of future s

Well, also, in the Biblical account, it was too late, they were all too far gone. I would argue it's not so bad now. :-) Imagine if your Mom sacrificed your older brother, and your Father was raping your sister, and ... Crypto in that

Me putting my cynic's hat on, I wonder if Meta is trying to offload as much responsibility given recent belt-tightening?

One of the hardest lessons I've been learning is that I need to "choose" what I want to be and then do it. When the responsibility fades a bit after hectic decades, it can feel pretty empty. Do you want to become really aweso

As a non-speaker this would be pretty fun as just a pattern matching game. The only problem is not knowing the words. If non valid next matches grayed out as I went, I would know what constituted a word, without knowing the language.

Given what I think the operations are likely going to face -- how to swap out one bot for another when it breaks. How to fill in the line when there's a gap. How to service the bot.

Yes, absolutely. I think it can feel pointless when it's just a few people or less. At that size it may just be easier and more effective to wing it, or keep a todo list. However, when you start involving more people than you can talk

While I rather like this idea, there's something to the fact that we need a check/balance. What you don't want is to have a mob make bad policy, which I think is what would happen in this case. This is precisely why individu

I've found it really helpful to re-challenge yourself. Do it faster, do it better, learn the underside, read the sources. In the end, you'll create real value while improving yourself. Then it's an easy matter to be recogniz
