Lick! The! Boot!

Hungry little money grab

That doesn’t mean that the subscription itself is losing money. The margin on the subscription could be fine, but by using that margin to R&D the next model, the org may still be i…

That’s not the way they are presented at all. And making foreign goods much more expensive when we don’t currently produce enough of those products domestically to offer actual alt…

Defensive much, Sam?

“Foundational” seems a bit overkill here. There is nothing foundational about it – it’s a convenience tool, albeit a very good one. AI is disruptive technology - like other tech in…

Yea! I totally trust corporations and government to always do the right thing and never abuse their powers!

I believe it’s you who is misunderstanding his positions here. He clearly lays out that he is focused on irrational optimism effecting the investment around the tech, not whether o…

its a good bet on their part (although i hate it). we obviously can't increase supply fast enough to keep up with demand in the current regulatory climate and with an existing shor…

No, there is an airport 10 minutes from the museum but the museum itself is closer to downtown.

Ruby central looks so incompetent it’s not even funny. Bummer all around.

A small company can just pay the $250 a month for X number of employees to each have CC max plan. Not that complicated

An additional requests for html isn’t slow, and now I have to have a whole “build” process for something that is basically static. Not ideal

Finding product market fit is a human directional issue, and LLMs absolutely can help speed up iteration time here. I’ve built two RoR MVPs for small hobbby projects spending ~$75 …

Couldn’t agree more. He’s talking about a management style in such a nebulous way, when I would imagine his experience and proximity to so many founders/companies could provide a l…

> we are just super slow at assembly of large structures… The Amish would like a word with you lol

In light frame residential construction, the structural envelope (foundation, framing, roof, and exterior doors/windows) will usually be about 50% of project cost, if not a little …

Where was this reported?

Exactly. He’s only founded and led a company that’s built some of the most easily adoptable and exciting innovations in human-computer interactions in the last decade. Total fraud!…

I dislike the look of chatGPT images so much. The photo-realism of stable diffusion impresses me a lot more for some reason.
