Wow, never knew this... That said I'm not sure if I'll remember using it as my muscle memory is already trained to kill hung processes via ctrl-b s, ctrl-k, ctrl-b x (in tmux).

There are a bunch of competing companies in that space but it's true that transparent pricing and self-service is rare. Good idea to focus on that.

Can we get a version of Rust that swaps lifetimes and ownership for a GC and a JS-style event loop? I love the DX of the language, but I don't always need to squeeze out every microsecond of performance at the cost of fighting the borr

I was confused by your comment. I assume you meant to say "I would NEVER tell anyone to use Oracle DB" (as opposed to Oracle Cloud)?

That's security theater. The package can still run arbitrary code the moment it's actually used.

If you hold confidential information, using it to bet on prediction markets could arguably violate secrecy rules since the market effectively receives the information. If you are not bound by confidentiality, participating should be fine. N

Countries known for big breakfasts: USA, Turkey. Countries known for light or skipped breakfasts: France, Japan, China. I think I'll wait for a more thorough study.

I always setup my terminals to open a tmux session by default (or attach to any existing one). For example, in my ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml: [terminal.shell] args = ["-l", "-c", "tm

It protects US compagnies at the expense of US consumers. Almost no economist think they are actually good for the economy, not even retaliatory tariffs.

I think OpenAI is just heavily woke tuned. I had similar lack of reasoning ability when discussing subjects like gender dysphoria.

For the same reason tax codes are complex. If you have a simple law, there's no way for a politician to say to a group of people: "If you vote for me, I will get you a special favour".

Their mission was always a joke anyways. "We will consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve AGI" yet going to cry to US lawmakers when open source models use their models for training.

Are investors really that gullible? Whenever I see "AI" slapped onto an obviously non-AI product, it's an instant red flag to me.

Looks like they pivoted to "AI storage", whatever that means.

I know it's not for everyone but depending where you live, buying research peptides and paying for an independent lab analysis on them can still turn out cheaper than buying the drug version.

Would be cool to have a benchmark with actually unsolved math and science questions, although I suspect models are still quite a long way from that level.

You can get Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for really cheap (think ~30$/month) if you buy it from a "research peptide" supplier. The biggest challenge is finding a trustworthy supplier.

You don't have to, that's mostly a benefit for merchants. Although it does translate to lower prices and greater competition.

You can have instant settlement while still maintaining fraud safeguards (e.g. daily payment limits) and remediation mechanisms (e.g. reversing fraudulent transactions). With modern 2FA and device-based security, this risk is extremely low.

It's not a technology problem. It's a problem of being compliant with vague government regulations (e.g. AML/KYC) and getting banked (which is very difficult... thanks to perceived AML risk).

In my opinion, it mostly comes down to contraception and changing lifestyle choices. Most child-free people I know simply prefer not to have kids. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if, within a few decades, the dominant concern swings

1. Progress is unstoppable. Refusing to fund it won't make it disappear. 2. Most VCs are normal people that just want a bigger slice of pie, not necessarily a bigger share of the pie. See the fixed pie fallacy.
