It's possible it's cultural. Sometimes strong, absolute rebuttals come across as someone just trying to shut down a conversation and deny. Other times a direct answer is just a direct answer. The problem is that context and tone a

Probably my interpretation. I should have said "strong rebuttal". Edited my comment above ;)

Thanks for the post. Yesterday you strongly rebutted me for saying that the widespread outages also were impacting Cloudflare [0], even tho it wasn't obvious to me at that time who was being impacted by who. Knowing the intricate conne

I am a fan of reddit, but I'm not a fan of what public markets do to companies. I want to be optimistic, but I'm realistic -- the sort of content that gets posted in many subreddits isn't often the sort of content lives long

Thanks for clarifying! Things seem to have settled down.

It's not just AWS - check the down reports: https://downdetector.com/ Cloudflare having some significant issues as well on certain domains.

How does this GPT-3 based correction system work on unique names (last names) or on numbers or on things that can't be learned from an Internet corpus?

by rexreed 5y ago
A lot of us are better with faces than names, and can remember when and where and what we were doing with someone and forget their name at the same time.

When you're living life on the edge, every short-term problem can turn into a life-threatening disaster. If it wasn't the pandemic, it would be something else. The rental car industry is living paycheck to paycheck. Hertz (and Avi

It certainly seems that way... in the long run. In the beginning, in 1997, Netflix was a company that sent DVDs by mail. Fast forward, they're an internet video-on-demand company. The writing was on the wall for Blockbuster way back in

The car rental industry is slowing going the way of Blockbuster. Maybe not in the next year or two, but it is an inevitability.

Any pointers to some good overviews on well-run Clubhouse groups and the sort of interaction that happens? Any recorded sessions that might be somehow viewed to see how the interaction happened during that session?

by rexreed 5y ago
I'm still new to Clubhouse and trying to understand the appeal. Is Clubhouse basically like the old radio call-in talk radio (live talk radio shows) where you basically can have your audience "call in" and join the hosts? Is

Grow faster than inflation. Spend cash on items that don't depreciate at the rate of inflation. Exit before you run out of cash. Make sure pricing is set appropriately and has opportunity to increase in the future. Consider "intro

Got me looking into it! Do you use OBS or a different RTMP streamer or just Owncast directly? I'm looking for more audience engagement in the form of polls, Q&A support as well as visual overlays such as bottom thirds, frames, etc.

You got it! I'm always looking for an alternative to Zoom for webinars and webcasting. I usually stream from Zoom to another source where we can have thousands of attendees without having them all join the Zoom session. For MiroTalk to

Would be nice for these systems to support an arbitrary RTMPS so that you can stream to non-YouTube systems (such as Vimeo live, etc.)

Microsoft really screwed up not taking advantage of its Skype acquisition and furthering the technology that Skype had a large and early lead at. In my opinion, MS Teams is in many ways comparably worse, not that Skype was ever a technologi

100% this is the case. People are conflating the rights of those who have rhetorically violent speech to express those views with the supposed "right" of those violent speakers to use a given platform to spread that rhetorical vio

Free speech and fighting rhetorical violence are not mutually exclusive. There are ways to reduce the visibility and spread of rhetorical violence without imposing on the rights of everyone to speak. Let's use another mental construct
