Paul Graham came out publicly to defend Sam, and we instantly have this blog post about, wait, just a sec, let's dissect actually why Sam is still evil. Can we believe that Sam cou…

I mean, yeah, same thought after seeing the signatories. What are some of the cliches being used around here ? Toothpaste is out of the tub? Arrow has left the bow. The dye is cast…

LLaMa technically is only limited to researchers, etc...

agreed - can you think of any other model that has such unrestricted release ? Open means available for wide use

exactly. this isn't a leetcode problem where all you have to do is re-run the function, or do it iteratively vs recursively.

Interests align - those who keep the secrets are better off for keeping them (not just for punishment of breaking NDAs, but the fruits (pun intended) of revealing something wonderf…

Umm, tech salaries are indeed not falling in SF Bay Area thank you very much.

> Similar to balancing other social issues, I don't believe private companies should make all of the decisions on their own. Then give up majority control. This article needs a lis…

I think one of the comments said vulgar and predatory. I second this. You don't need a bootcamp to break into Data Science, or Data Engineering, or Data anything.

This is my main grip with YC touting startups as a great place to join, but not helping them negotiating fair equity. Yes, founders deserve credit because they took risk, but they …

People have been saying these kinds things about Apple forever. Betting against a $2 Trillion company, not sure about that.

You also want to have someone doing a scientific study to be as unbiased as possible. As I understand it, (most of?) his family is immunocompromised. This doesn't mean he shouldn't…

When giving out numbers scientifically, it's important to be precise, or have the uncertainty known. In that case, 96% is widely different than 70%. As Andy Slavitt says in his Apr…

I would argue that Apple is a luxury brand, and iPad Pro is an Apple product. If you're saying the Surface Pro can make people happy too, I'll give you that. It doesn't make me hap…

We need to stop seeing the iPad Pro and Surface Pro as equals. iPad Pro is a luxury item, and it gives me so much more pleasure to use it. Aesthetics, design, the way I feel - thes…

And Elizabeth Warren wrote it in her book, The Two Income Trap. Such a a great read! This was before I knew she was running for president, many years ago.

I have some criticism of the idea, actually. As someone who doesn't think they have good taste in clothes, I would not use this. I would want to upgrade my wardrobe and improve my …

Eh, kind of a naive view. There's a moat in all the data Uber's collected, and analytics it's performed. Not to mention R&D into things like automatous driving, etc...

Nathan Marz talks about this previously, with unique insights: http://nathanmarz.com/blog/how-becoming-a-pilot-made-me-a-be...

Doesn't matter if Uber is actually worth anything - it matters if a lot of people think Uber is worth anything :)

there's probably a correlation somewhere there. Usually if you do a big hit in the tech world, you have hard work in your DNA.

My biggest problem with the advice from YC and Startup school notes like this is that they pretend they're the first to ever discover these ideas or principles. They have experienc…

A lot of people seem to forget that Apple is a luxury brand. Their tech is not going to be the latest. Does Louis Vuitton care about the latest fabric ? No, cuz you're gonna pay a …
