The $48 million in political donations might have something to do with the terrible deals.

You should be able to verify facts outside of your domain of expertise. Every time a new study comes around saying “actually, everyone should be drinking 3 glasses of wine a night”, do you take a trip to the liquor store? LLMs are far from

But the point is that this article shows that this is real people’s preferences, not just some wacky hackers with an axe to grind.

> It involves scanning a QR code and clicking confirm > No idea where you got that idea… Block lattice relies on private ledgers owned by the 2 parties of a transaction. It then consolidates those ledgers which is how it saves energy.

Also when pensions managed by Sequoia took the FTX hit. Also when the augmentation of FDIC coverage happened for SVB, taxpayers covered that. Pretty much impossible to avoid unintentionally contributing to the grifters

Block lattice is IMO far too unwieldy to use, and is useless for decentralization unless the system you're making payments on is actually yours, meaning you can't use it for real-world payments. Also, still nothing solves the orac

Fast and fee-less? Does that work on a distributed ledger? Is there some magic I’m missing to make consensus quick and cheap? Micro-transactions were never going to be feasible considering gas fees required to run a sufficiently secure bloc

I’m glad to be seeing this because I went down all the way to 25mg. My doctor said there was no way I was getting side effects at that dose, but I felt awful every morning for the first 4 or 5 hours of the day.

Mine seems to detect burning about 3 mins into pressure cooking (which stops the heat). I’m fairly certain nothing is actually burning, but even if it is, there seems to be no amount of liquid I can add to get it to stop.

If there are 2 houses, the second guy no longer buys his vacation home for 500. This is actually what the situation is in the US. There are more houses than people, they’re just too expensive.

As a percentage, the poor will have more money. It's pretty obvious that if there are 2 people, 1 with no money and the other with $5000, taxing everyone 20% of their wealth and redistributing it evenly makes the first person better of

I'm basing that off this community post and a few other forums that noted that GPT knows about events after September 2021. Point stands either way. https://community.openai.com/t/what-is-the-actual-cutoff-dat...

Unfortunately it’s not true for most positions in the tech industry, including the highest paying ones. All of these are game-able. Spend a month running through leetcode questions and learning some jargon, and it won’t matter whether you

At google, a substantial amount of employee comp is in equity so any drop in share price would lower morale.

The claim is that Google is using their dominance in browsers to unfairly drive business to their search/ads product. Yes, google has more market dominance in search but that’s not the reason for the lawsuit.

We should probably also be clear that LLMs aren’t the only ML models that can learn to code. If hands-on programming is automated away, it’s not obvious that it’ll be an LLM that does it.

> And if the product is bad, people leave negative reviews, and it's easy to filter for those. This has to be a joke, right? It’s nearly impossible to filter by legitimate unpaid-human reviews on Amazon.

I don't know about Sam Altman or whatever, but IMO the world is in desperate need of Software Engineers with perspective outside of software. If your concern is more about whether you can actually get hired, you can.

FWIW, I don’t sign up for any recurring subscriptions outside of major utilities, so this feature won $108 from me.

I don't understand why Kagi needs to be mass market. Why not just be the search engine for people willing to pay for better search? Does Ferrari feel the need to enter the economical midsize sedan market? Advertising is a lot of work,

It's not what you're asking for, but FYI, you can sign up for a month or a year and immediately cancel your subscription very easily on the Kagi site. You'll still have access until the end of the subscription period.

I think it's still probably better to throw all the money down on an unlikely sports bet or some crazy options trade. The lottery is particularly skewed to the house.

Subreddits that are about buying things (/r/buyitforlife, /r/frugalmalefashion) are done. Same with any askreddit thread that's like "What's a product for under $x that changed your life" or something
