Ah yes, that centralized thing that's maybe partially backed by a bunch of third-rate stuff that may or may not actually exist. Here we go again. I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier when the rest of the market was crashing

Big changes in what content we trust and consume online. I predict that all content-driven sites (YouTube, News, Social Media, forums, reviews) will be dominated by AI-generated content in the near future. This content is directly monetizab

It's not a dumb question. You're right that it's absolutely an argument for DeFi, but it comes with tradeoffs: - Bugs in the code means all capital may be lost. That's potentially worse. - The profit margins aren't

No journalism is self-critical, that's the whole point of journalism, like Taleb likes to say. It's entertainment for whoever wants their own bubble justified, not information. Of course the pro-crypto journalism is much worse in

These anti-crypto articles by people who have made it their whole career to give anti-crypto talks are just as BS as the crypto scams. I've read many of the articles from her site, but I cannot take anyone seriously who can't give

You are not a bad person because of that. It was his decision, and joining an early-stage startup comes with exactly the kind of risks you are describing. If he was not aware of that, that's completely his fault for making bad uninform

Thanks. Your advice is what I needed to hear, though I have have to admit it is not exactly what I wanted to hear. Given my background, I wished there was a shortcut, a way to skip the repetitive and boring work of solving lots and lots of

It's not really the regular tech folks or researchers working on the models who are enforcing limits. Most of them don't care and want everything to be as open as possible. But there is a whole group of people, many of them have l

It's interesting we can create amazing graphics like this, but at the same time we can't model humans walking naturally. It looks quite realistic if you take out the humans.

I think you need to consider both parties: 1. The incentives of the platform 2. The incentives of the individual For 1, a big part of the problem is the growth-at-all-costs mindset coming from VC incentives. In this case, having more hosts

Yup. For a lot of models I preferred the graph mode. It was explicit with no magic. I think they should've just stuck with that, even if it meant not everyone and their mom can use it. Agree on the framework stuff. Please just be a lib

Merging Keras into TF and trying to copy PyTorch by adopting their model was the downfall of TF. The initial TF releases were great. It was simple, easy to reason about, and solved a clear problem. But then Google wanted TF to appeal to eve

It's fundamentally a problem of trust. Hotels and big brands work because you can trust them. Why do you trust them? Because they have skin in the game. If their products suck their brand suffers and that's what they want to avoid

I agree with you, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to try switching away from VSCode. It has been pretty good, but sometimes it's quite slow and does who-knows-what in the background, and then I check my CPU and memory usage
