I mean, Brass Birmingham and many other high ranking games would be rather poor choices for pick-up and play game nights with most groups (number 7 is Twilight Imperium, which takes 6 hours on the short end!). Indeed, a lot of them can be p

We don't have a formal classification of which technologies can be considered "AI", but computer vision would feel like a valid entrant to me.

Facebook made it out by committing click fraud against advertisers on a massive scale, which I don't see as a viable path for sama (even ignoring any legal concerns) considering that openAI isn't a platform company.

Are you seriously asking why you shouldn't make users uncomfortable with your product?

It is, but the SEO spammers who ruined the web want it to be shopping mall, and they can't even do a particularly good job at being one.

I think there's a misunderstanding. They _are_ doing it right, it's just that the right way doesn't involve building a good product, because you aren't any more valuable. There's no way a startup can make more money

by yifanl 2y ago
They're cutting headcount because they have no conception of how to make a good product, so reducing costs is the only of making the bottom line go up. That's across the board, from the startups whose business plan is to be acquir

f doesn't refer to anything. iterating over the file object at all instead of just calling self.cache = openFile.readlines() means that calling strip() the line below removes data beyond just the trailing newlines.
