Leas fortunate in what? We don’t even know housing prices there yet. It could be dirt cheap since they bought the land very cheaply, instead of having a stack of landlords from multiple generations taking their cut in price increase as in a

Descending to a plutocratic hellscape (without dragging others and this project doesn’t) is a basic human right we all should respect please!

Yes please! From your comment (maybe not intentionally?) this sounds like a bad thing. But for inhabitants being able to have stricter rules is a blessing. Ideally that would work like with the countries: different cities have dramatically

This doesn't seem to be true. A quick search on their home page shows a bunch of articles from 2021 and 2022. I caught a few 404s and messaged Alexandra, she says this is some bug and she'll look into this. Btw, using this opportu

This is a very interesting point that requires some examples and further elaboration to have value for the readers. It refutes but doesn't provide arguments. Can you please elaborate?

I wonder what would say average people of 19 century when offered to ride a car. Book reading was also not mainstream just as recently. Utility beats everything though. Is there utility in ar/vr glasses? Are you enjoying reading and ty

The point I think is that they _could_ and _should_ have been large bets and this makes them missed opportunities. At least most of those could have been massive cash cows (see Slack, Teams, Superhuman but 100x, etc). And they just failed t

My understanding (as someone who worked at Meta and sold a startup to a large corporation) is that, in this particular case, money-printing giants are cursed by their own blessing. The thing that prints them money limits them in terms of wh

It's not binary; it is a gradient from actual perceived reality to very distant derivative concepts. For many people (e.g., those who do evil), these concepts obviously don't make sense, so I wouldn't even call it a "com

It's reductionist, but what makes you say "absurdly"? It's a matter of personal choice which viewpoint to use, and I was just commenting on the original point and the viewpoint provided. I personally find this reductioni

Good and evil are constructs in the realms of morals and ethics, which are also constructs produced by society. And so on. If you continue delving into these constructs, you will discover that the only ultimate truth is your firsthand emoti

And this is imo what you should have done instead if saying 98%. I agree with other commenters in that this is extremely misleading.

Wait, what? Why would layoffs make it harder for them to hire? If anything, it’s tge opposite, they can raise the bar significantly now, esp since it’s a buyer market now.

Ha, doing the same with my wife this year! Happy to catch up in Europe sometime. As nested comment said, some planning is needed to pack it in 90 day slots every 180 days :) Edit: saw your other reply - good for you two :)

This is such a wrong take. As an "innovator" who also worked on one of the largest messaging apps: I'm VERY happy about this change. Very long due. If properly executed, this gives a very large advantage to startups against t

Yup, the article even says "It’s now early 2019 and we’ve already way surpassed this first, but very important milestone." Feels like a weird marketing technique.

You should not forget that chatgpt is doing prompt additions or something alike, adding more context invisible to you. Which makes it even harder to argue about this problem. Ie in this case your prompt could actually be prefaced (in a way

Tbh this reads like a comment from somebody who never visited a red light district, not tried a lot of MDMA and neither saw top quality AI porn. If this is true, why do you think your recommendation holds any value? I can totally feel the p

How could it rank higher tho? SO has a huge domain ranking. How an arbitrary website can compete with that? I always thought it’s the opposite and platforms like SO and Medium incentivise posting there exactly via their crazy domain ranking

This depends on what are you training the model for. Arguably wikipedia is a much better dataset for all things related to real world and history than Fb’s feed or activities or a bunch of websites optimized for SEO. This is easily illustra

By then it already had 25m DAU and next year its revenue was 1b already. So yes it's content agnostic, but it started and rapidly grew as a text based aggregator with a strong recommendation system. From what I heard, TikTok's rec

This was also said before about microtransactions in games and here we are. My take - it's just lagging execution due to much less competition in the west. Yeah, this may sound crazy until you actually see the number of companies in Ch

Came here to say that. This is essentially Toutiao and this a great proven model that the lagging west took ages to adopt. And indeed, why won’t people like an essentially an amazing text based recommendation system? Btw it was valued at 20
