I use it everyday but have been told by friends that Gemini has overtaken it.

250 species of hummingbird alone!

I'm surprised noone said Meta. They have the capital, they have the moral ambiguity, and they have the tendency to jump the gun on new tech (metaverse)

Hey Hacker News Community!

Thanks to the Hacker News mods for allowing us to post this here. The HackerNoon team has created a new platform to nominate and vote for your favorite startups all over the world - anyone can nominate, anyone can vote!

To talk more about the details behind the development of the software, here are some words from our lead dev of the project:

"Hey HN community! We built a ballot voting app when we started the Noonies (our yearly writer awards) because we found the current solutions out there too limiting, and most of all requiring user registration in order to limit duplicate votes. We got around that by storing session data on which awards a user voted for. Granted, it’s not a fool-proof approach, but it sufficed for most general users. We could still monitor for suspicious voting activity via analytics, and correct accordingly. We also made use of Google’s reCAPTCHA v3 to hinder bot voting.

Startups is a fork off the Noonies with a fresh lick o’ paint and some structural differences. But it’s powered by the same voting system."

We hope that this platform can help startups with limited marketing budgets get their name out there and have a place to live permanently on the web and be shared with a larger community.

We'd be happy to hear your comments on what we've built and any suggestions you may have for us.

Cheers!

I'm not surprised

TechCrunch is pretty trusted. I don't think they'd publish this if it weren't true. They'd be accountable for all sorts of libel

So I could simply take a photo of a restaurant and sell it on flickr to be used in advertisements or whatever the buyer wants to use it for?

(maybe the only thing I'd have to do is then blur out the logo)

This is quite astonishing for some reason.

Thanks for this!

Agreed. I applaud Epic for taking this stance. Of course, they are likely doing it for their own interests. However, this fight can help all the indie developers who don't have the lawyers or the money to stand up, and hopefully lower the amount that Google Play and Apple take from hard-working devs that upload apps to their platform.

My first thought reading this was "why just India?"

We live in a world where politicians use Twitter as a main tool. Times are changing.

I'm starting to rethink my career as a content writer...

I live in Japan and when things got bad, a box of mask that normally sold for $20 USD would be priced at $100 + on Amazon. It's quite easy to make a buck when you are taking advantage of people's panic and paranoia

What a sick world. If I saw that happening, I'd probably be in jail for manslaughter.

Ahh I see. That would be incredibly interesting.

No worries! Your work was very impressive and I hope more people see it.

I like my job (content writing)

Here is a list of global coronavirus datasets that could help you: https://lionbridge.ai/datasets/coronavirus-datasets-from-eve...

" The field of AI itself is super interesting, and it will keep growing, but deep learning – which is what people often mean when they say AI – is already dead.

What I mean is, it’s kind of an old idea. It was invented in the 60s, although the first models weren’t doing any learning. The first attempts at learning came later, even before backpropagation existed. We recently made neural learning work extremely well with convolutions and other tricks, as we also have huge amounts of computation we didn’t have before. It’s pretty cool, and we’ve made this combination with backprop in those architectures, and now we’re applying this research to many application areas. But the research in deep learning is actually dead."

Everyone who thinks it's not a big deal and the young people who are still partying and hanging out as normal need to read this twice

Medium sucks without premium. I don't know why they went with that route

lols whats wrong with medium

Gpt 2 is a very interesting release from Open AI. It begs the question of what is to come in the future with similar tech and how it could change the way articles are written

Hmm I think it depends on alot of things. Public officials have little rights in terms of satirical parodies, so there could be grey areas in terms of using deepfakes to impersonate officials doing stupid things. Articles in the satiracal site, theonion.com, are often libelous but since it's on a comedy site it is allowed.
