It's hard to make the case the this is different than Stadia even. I could see it being interesting if it's just games you can run completely in the client you can publish, where you can collect revenue through ads like a YouTube

There is a big opportunity for countries which can overcome their reservations to become exporters of nuclear power, especially in Europe imo. Win-win, exporters find a new way to bolster the budget, while importers can get clean power with

imo, if you don't want the government to track you, the battle is already lost, but there is probably room to limit what private companies are allowed to do on the regulatory front.

The article does not answer the question. (I don't believe there is a straightforward best answer but the article does not so much as make a conjecture beyond the most obvious prerequisites.)

This isn't "the military" doing anything, these are individuals taking their own initiative. (Military probably doesn't mind though.) Are droves of young men really being driven into the ranks of the army in frenzies of

I think what makes this a "fuck you" pattern is the fact that you are given a "teaser" of the content before being forced to log in. Like, if IG forced you to login to see anything, you might dislike that, but it wouldn&

Company exists to return capital to shareholders. In the absence of a dividend, that has to be from stock price going up. If neither happens, leadership will be changed. Efficient market hypothesis is also nonsense.

You don't think there's any political reason they are going after Amazon rather than, say, the New York Times? Just the impartial watchmen of Democracy studiously promoting the adherence to regulation here?

I think OpenAI's moat is a large corpus of well-cleaned training data. There is no brilliant insight behind the model architecture for GPT-4, but rather 100s of small incremental improvements upon previous model iterations. Eventually,

There are so many of these processes which are so difficult that they border on the outright criminal, but the FTC goes after Amazon because it is a big political target to hit. Maybe from a utilitarian perspective it makes sense.

The $140,000 constitutes back-wages and damages. I agree it is still too low.

Well, the problem is you can easily trade gold for cash because it is socially acceptable to do so. If Bitcoin became outlawed, it would be very hard to exchange Bitcoin for cash, since it has no extrinsic value outside of being a financial

You have to be a good talker. If you are not you will struggle. Find a friend who is willing to pay you, or consult for low-pay/free to build up a client portfolio. Then try to get referrals. The hard part is not understanding new AI s

I think it's not the work of updating but trying to remember. If you are doing consistent frontend you can probably keep it all, but if you only touch it occasionally, it's just too much.

I think a lot of people genuinely believe that AI can/should be regulated. People at the companies may or may not want to do this for selfish reasons, but regardless, have been basically forced to "ask" for regulation, or fac

Security is often implementation dependent, meaning: you need to understand exactly how your software does what it does before you can understand how to do that securely. For non-trivial software, this almost always means you will have to b
