I have noticed a similiar issue when I was searching for technical support with some applications, and eventually I had to make a Discord account, join a given server on it, and then search its backlog to find my answer. The server was &#x2

Love the demo links under the search bar: "Try these: TechRadar, AVC, Paul Graham, BBC, Medium, Pulse". I think one mistake a lot of people make on their landing page is to just give the user an empty search box and force them to

It would be weird that they'd make it display a 404 though. It's possible Signal could be returning that when they see FB perform a request to them for some reason (e.g. want to make sure no metadata leaks to FB).

I like the idea but I think there's probably a few too many chat apps going around already as well.

What a time for news. It was only two hours ago when I wrote: "I'm curious if this will also escalate to low-level platforms (will hosting companies, registrars, or even ISPs start taking similar actions on a regular basis?)"

Yes, and I think that's one of the first complaints that many think of here, e.g. how many users on Twitter are there that post worse things than Trump, how many thousands of websites does AWS host that are worse than Parler?, and so o

It must feel pretty surreal to be someone that is constantly moving to different communication apps and instantly finding them pulled by anyone and everyone. We've seen an escalation of this from higher-level platforms (obviously Twitt

Unfortunately it's hard to convince anyone they should care while they're enjoying seeing their enemies being deplatformed. The smart choice for Amazon imo is to defer the decision to others, as much as it's obviously not a f

This ban seems to heavily take advantage of the current moment, as it's obvious that he has tweeted worse things in the past. It's strange that they picked such a poor way to justify the ban when they could have made a significan

This is rather strange communication imo, with no timeline provided, no information as to why, or, well, anything. Looks like Stripe atlas still lets you use them as well, so maybe they didn't give others a heads up before this either?

It's very hard to say, and I would imagine it's hard to say even for the average Facebook employee too, given how large the company is. If it was a single coherent entity with its own knowledge map (which, last I checked, it still

I always thought it was obvious they were going to ban him after his time in office was up, it's hard to imagine anything else happening with how they feel about each other.

imo Facebook has enough data that if you want to use it completely anonymously there is no reasonable way to put in half of the effort, and even Visa gifts cards won't be enough.

>If I train an AI on classical paintings, can it ever invent Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism? I see your point, but it's an unfair comparison: if you put a human in a room and never showed them anything except classical paintings,

I think it's both - we have a lot of architectural improvements that we can try now and in the future, but I don't see why you can't take the output of generative art models, have humans rate them, and then use those ratings

It's too hard to say I think. Big players will definitely benefit a lot, so it probably isn't a bad idea, but if you could find the right startups or funds, you might be able to get significantly more of a return.

Yes, but there's no reason we can't partially solve this by throwing more data at the models, since we have vast amounts of data we can use for that (ratings, reviews, comments, etc), and we can always generate more en masse whene

Not entirely, no, I don't hope I implied that. I listen to human-created music every day. I just mean to say that I've also listened to AI-created music that I've enjoyed, so it's gone from being 0% of what I listen to t

I agree, and due to the amount of compute that is required for those types of works I think those are still quite awhile away. But the profession for creative individuals consists of much more than highly-paid well-credentialed individuals

I really do think AI is going to replace millions of workers very quickly, but just not in the order that we used to think of. We will replace jobs that require creativity and talent before we will replace most manual factor workers, as har

If I was meeting a co-founder here I'd probably try something like video-chatting with them, every day, for a week straight. Inevitably you'd end up talking about just about everything, and hopefully getting a real feel for how ea

I love a lot of CLI apps, although they can take a good deal of configuration and time to get used to until they're more efficient than alternatives. Some of my favorites for personal (non-server) use are zsh, tmux, irssi, youtube-dl,
