Cool stuff! We are looking to build an application on this or something like this soon. Do you support chat completions or is it just text completions from OpenAI? In other words can I use gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4 with this?

I'd be curious to see a good school most the opposite direction. Admit ONLY based on SAT or SAT+ACT or something. Effectively allow students an "instant acceptance" option. I highly suspect that this "SAT-Only" grou

I've heard this argument often, and it's never articulated correctly. (1) False positives if handled poorly cause suffering. (2) There is problem where we hide the statistics in an attempt to make things more relatable. Tests are

My initial thought, having some experience with this kind of thing, is that this is basically a grab by the plaintiff's law firm to get some legal fees while they can from the corpse of FTX. It would be nice if the bankrupcy court woul

Looking at the top settlements here I think as a society we would be better off without these able to be this big. Generally speaking they all seem to relate to off-label use (which I think we should generally be more permissive of) and fal

The bar for direct listings is not because of the model its because of the costs to go public and be public. Small cap stocks are not what they used to be, and it seems like some process for reducing regulation on small cap stocks seems lik

Just noting the same thing here for me, I tried looking at an example and it failed with this error. I think I would not even hit the API for the examples, just show it. My 2 cents.

Agree, also his example of the CTO was "Dropbox". Dropbox is/was basically only a "folder that syncs reliably". For that role, this is deeply technical low-level work and yeah, that CTO probably should be very techn

This is a huge win! It would be nice if it would also apply to commercial properties too. I highly recommend "the high cost of free parking" if you have not read it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_High_Cost

The paper has several key flaws: - it does not address recent dematerialization and improved efficiency per human in the first world. - it does not address "off planet" in any way. We can build the surface area of over a billion

As a user, I also hate non-transparent pricing and call for sales. I also dont buy many things if I can't see transparent pricing. BUT as a 2x SAAS business I found that this absolutely worked. Make them call. I hate that it works. I h

I never understand the lack of humility by prosecutors and often the victim's families. People's confidence in people's guilt is just so high, I don't understand it.

I continue to be confused why social media companies want to censor, and not let users themselves censor content how they want (including with algorithms). This gets around basically all issues for all parties. Basically let me block Nazi c

I like where you are going with this. Is there any way to set a different "conversion" event, instead of signup? Just move the tracking event to later in the funnel I guess? I think at a minimum, you should explain this usecase in

It's unclear to me if these are helpful markers. I mean, in a vacuum eighth grade stats are nice. But don't we want functioning adults? I was one of the youngest in my class, in hindsight should have skipped a grade, but I will wo

Autoplaying video is the bad part of Netflix UI, otherwise it's great. I don't know how to turn it off, and it is so annoying that I can't stop on any video while scrolling, I have to just keep moving.

I think this depends on the stage, but I don't think for us deploying weekly instead of 4x per week (M-Th). Would help. We also found feature flags slowed us down a lot in the early stages. I feel these should only be done for some fea

Not OP but I think advancements are not exclusive. Going faster is one of the big advancements, but probably not the biggest. Going 2x faster is obviously a good thing, everything else being equal. Costs can potentially go down as you can r

We ran various tests with radar. For us, radar universally costs us more than it saves in fraud. The one time we got hit hard by a fraudster, radar was on but failed to catch them. stripe ended up refunding radar fees because it was so obvi
