A lot of openAI followers are just people who listen to pop-tech podcasts or watch TikTok get-rich-quick schemes. It’s not limited to programmers in the same way crypto isn’t.

I don’t think this is true. Or, rather, I think this is only true if you define “losing capital” in a very specific way that isn’t consistent with reality. What “gaining” capital looks like is “we upgraded our ovens from the 1980s to brand

Do they get 4% back on dining? Do they take advantage of the 3x rewards on flights and hotels? Every advantage of credit cards is designed to attract credit-rich customers and ward off liabilities.

Questionable in many cases. A bunch of stores have their A/C on full blast while keeping the door open in the summer. You can actually get fined for this in NYC now but in other US cities it’s still the norm.

A thousand times? I’d have a hard time typing out that many queries in 8 hours. Even 100 seems like a stretch for someone who uses it within something like cursor.

I would guess that the vast majority of customers don’t even know when a new iPhone is released and therefore don’t buy in the first few weeks after it’s released. Of the customers that are aware of the release, I would assume that most are

I barely know who Mr. Beast is but isn't his whole channel about, like, the joy of doing nice things for people? Like yes, it's for profit, and yes, it's schlocky and distasteful to us wise adults or whatever, but there'

I think this still has it backwards. People, who are not experts in the content they consume, can't be relied upon to distinguish good from trash. Not because they don't experience the difference, but because they don't know

This is so that your doctor can focus on treating you rather than typing out every minute detail. The notes, in most cases, are less important than the doctor being able to pay attention to you. Unfortunately for billing and insurance purpo

People have used buttons in their cars for years. I’d be curious to know whether Siri is actually safer.

The parent comment is saying once an optional feature gains enough traction, Apple will make it mandatory.

What a weird and rude way to call this out. The parent wasn’t talking about non-sports content and never suggested that sports writing was the only type of content plagued by SEO spam.

Meetup.com in large cities has become a money-grab, spawning a bunch of semi-professional “event planners” who charge much more than the cost of putting on the event. Feeling like you’re paying for the privilege of talking to other people i

I’m not seeing what’s so bad about the popular reviews. I guess my one complaint would be that no one is writing reviews and so they should stop calling it reviews when they’re really tweets about movies, but I think if Letterboxd were actu

No markdown blocks for code makes assistants really tough to use. It also seems to end up recommending that you search the exact same thing you ask it. For example, if I ask "name 5 websites similar to hackernews", it'll end

bookshop.org proxies local bookstores. Chances are if you’ve visited a physical bookstore you like they’re selling on there.

Sellers definitely do care about this. Any seller who wants to maintain any sort of reputation as a high quality has stopped selling on Amazon. Amazon is now for the “we technically have QA but honestly don’t give a shit” sellers. Not quite

Any sort of audio/video control for sure, which is a substantial portion of patreon content. Also, if you want to support offline content, it's nearly impossible to do it in a browser.

The unemployment rate is far from straightforward. Things like "who is counted as part of the workforce" and "what is employment" - the definitions change pretty often, and a well-rounded source would also have to look a
