From TFA, $0.12 is an optimistic calculation taking better-than-best revenue divided by a pessimistic user count. We can double that again if you're expecting a late-stage product like reddit to launch a new highly monetizable feature

We have price as a proxy precisely because consumers can't accurately evaluate the quality of all goods, especially in an age where spectacle marketing dominates.

I mean, their track record is fine. Starcraft 2: The age of Blizzard RTS is over now, but it was the best RTS ever made and the devs left a final patch with a massively expanded community tooling. Overwatch: Was absurdly successful and then

Yes, I listed it first because I think these guys are eating up all the oxygen in the room and the more plausible risks get kinda unfairly lumped with the crankier stuff. (And apologies if I misled people into believing the superintelligenc

Well that's just the thing, the AI crowd spans a lot of opinions, from those who believe the endstate is a time travelling cyber Satan that will torture everybody and make clones to torture more people until the end of time, to those w

Putting on my economist's hat for a second: Services like healthcare inherently have extremely inelastic demand, and are difficult to serve to a large number of people without a large number of resources, which makes it naturally easy

floating point math is math like any other, just with a vastly different number system. There are valid arguments on both side if we should hide or expose those differences in the implementation, but there's always going to be pretty b

In another thread here, the founder states that their solution is to reduce the rate of updates from every 5 minutes to every 3 hours.

I mean, let's take a step back and ask how we ended up in a society where there's a large portion of people who reacts with fear rather than excitement when presented with a button that does their work for them.

It takes one mildly determined person and 30 dollars to rent a server farm to post 150 threads of garbage, and there goes everything else on the catalog. edit: actually, in the world where there's _zero_ moderation then you probably wo

It'll surpass human content in quantity by a lot almost definitionally and in quality probabilistically. But I'll have to read AI content on both sides of that probability.

The assumptions were to minimize the amount of work for the developer in this case. If it wasn't an open source library then they'd need to roll their own, or scrap the entire feature if it isn't workable, both of which invol
