If I were you, I'd build this: - An interface where people select a subset of artists they like. - Build a model on the fly with art just from those artists - Get HQ high res downloads of generated art Freemium model, with 1 HQ downloa

I personally know some of the Talent partners hired at this firm and they are A+ people with amazing candidate rolodexes.

Looks great. I'm on Firefox so will wait for a version there.

Disagree with this. There are absolutely 10x and even 50x engineers out there. Yes they almost always have egos and people complain about them all the time. But they also build the right product at the right time for the right user and do t

They tried to tighten 5 years ago - the market tanked and they immediately reversed. This is for infinity, can only result in external/internal war.

Yup, I've built 2 products that crossed 50M users. One was a browser extension in the years before the iPhone. I always assume my user is blackout drunk and generally not very thoughtful i.e. they know what they want but they want that

I would just get annoyed with the prompts and uninstall. This approach doesn't, hasn't and won't work. What will work is unfortunately a little more complex to build i.e. you need to change functionality on these sites forcib

Hurting Android is embedding unremovable Google services all over the place and implementing bullshit defaults like auto turning your wifi on and collecting + storing all available networks silently. Pretty sure they are intentionally slowi

Do you use a Mac? Steve Jobs fathered a child and went to court to keep his partner and kid poor while he drove Aston Martins. I'd bet almost everything you use has an asshole behind it somewhere, you would need to live in a cave with

There's been a grand fiscal policy experiment over the last 12 years unlike anytime before. It has resulted in every asset class losing price discovery mechanisms and basically becoming untethered from fundamentals. Nobody knows ho

I can't wait until there's a run on the exchanges and they all go insolvent/cease trading. This house of cards has created the most undeserving kings ever.

I would cut off my left nut before building anything that depends primarily on either iOS or Android. It's lose-lose - if you get successful, they'll copy you and fuck you over. Obvious exceptions apply e.g. if you just build a wi

Finding investors is easy (use AngelList), getting them to invest is harder. At your stage, they will look at team, traction, and social proof. Generally being exceptional in 1/3 of the above criteria will give you a pass on any of the

Makes me so happy I took "Computers, Ethics and Social Responsibility" in college. These algorithms are tools and at their worst they are powerful weapons - much more dangerous than some nuclear bomb that wipes out a few hundred s

I just installed and set up Ubuntu after a long time. IMO both Windows and Linux have totally caught up to OSX and while their hardware is still marginally better, that gap is on a downward trend as well. With mobile, I think Android is clo

Respectfully disagree on the "write it out first" advice. I'd argue "think it out first" or "talk it out first" is sufficient. I found while scaling my team tended to bury themselves in miles of docs that

Containerization makes sense for a tiny, tiny fraction of all products. It's just been overblown and overused, creating another point of potential failure for no great benefit at all. Just chroot the damn thing if you need to and keep

The sad part is that most times Google violates your privacy, it's just some PM who thinks having some data will be super important and in most cases they're wrong. Caveat here is that in 99.99999% cases it's also the case th

Set up your Seafile/Nextcloud/Owncloud asap and get your data off these twits' servers. It will soon be: 1) Scraped and analyzed to generate advertising IDs 2) Backdoored to any law enforcement back channel request

Epic, Blizzard, Zynga are basically Philip Morris. Their products are mad addictive, sometimes mad fun and always life sucking. They should be taxed at like 80%.

Good riddance. Unfortunately (almost) all our conversations - verbal and text messaging - are being spied on to target us with ads right now. Addressing anything else is like pissing in the ocean to change it's colour.

Programming is a commodity. You learn to program in Ruby and the next platform makes you irrelevant. CS is a foundation. When you understand how the languages themselves are built you can figure out any of them. The fundamentals don't

False - if I needed a loan to buy a car so I could get to work that's worth it. The work pays off the loan over time, I'm left with an asset and it's a win win for me, my employer and the car salesman.

This debt will all be paid by the US dollar falling dramatically. Many assets will keep their inflated prices in nominal terms though still good buys out there.
