I just tried Claude Squad this morning , the instructions to use and interface was very clunky . There also was no uninstall instructions or scripts , so I had to write one and uninstall it. Lame

Silk Road was a neutral marketplace ? What kind of drugs are you on ? Or are you just completely not aware of what happened

Ross willingly sold weapons, body parts, etc on it. He personally ok'ed the sale of these things (text proof from the prosecution)

your argument is actually quite dumb, because they have messages from Ross giving the OK to sell most of these things.

He wasnt some hands off executive who had no idea. Smart people should be able to not equate an illegal market place with a legal market place

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading the comments on this thread. Multiple teenagers (one in Australia) died from the drugs distributed on Silk Road. Ross was ok with selling grenades, body parts, etc on there. But everyone is saying he served his time ???

Bing's chatGpt does most of this, but their usage seems to not growing that much. I think people's learned behaviors are entrenched with Google paying for default search access (Safari, Firefox, etc)

Thanks for posting this ! I actually laughed outloud at the response

Where is the pricing for the API ?

How is that under custom when Eleven Labs and everything else clearly describe the price. Not showing that is an instant reject for me

Looks like its just matching words near other words. It doesnt understand NOT in sentences or what anything actually means. I'm not impressed

How were the VCs aware of the MRR of a private company ? I'd assume some external indicator like position in the app store, but outside of that, I'm curious how'd they know ?

This reminds me of counterfeit capitalism https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/wework-and-counterfeit-ca...

"Engaging in such a strategy used to be illegal . Capitalism works because companies that thrive take a bunch of inputs and create a product that is more valuable than the sum of its parts. That creates additional value, and in such a model companies have to compete by making better goods and services.

What predatory pricing does is to enable competition purely based on access to capital. Someone like Neumann, and Son’s entire model with his Vision Fund, is to take inputs, combine them into products worth less than their cost, and plug up the deficit through the capital markets in hopes of acquiring market power later or of just self-dealing so the losses are placed onto someone else."

I agree, I just disabled it today. I'd say 3 out of 10 times it produced a good result. Most of the time the structure looked ok but the variable names were wrong, or the types were wrong, or it had logic issues. Surprisingly, I thought it did great with autocompleting the comments. In Visual Studio, it would block function autocomplete which was really annoying also

yea, that's my biggest fear right there (in terms of raising money). I doubt he walks away with anything after pouring his life into the company for years. I get that they raised $15 million, but to lose your code, company and time is horrible. He ended up being powerless at his own company

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this ? Do you have any examples of what this could look like in practice ?

Funny, I've actually had a lot of fun working on this compression software. It's a weird mix of needing it to be fast and hitting a compression threshold of it being useful. One of the best projects I've embarked on

I'm working on a different type of compression (for all file types). I am able to to get in the 10-20% range, but the speed to compress is to slow many times, or the compression doesnt complete at other times (I've been working on this for years). My personal website: http://danclark.org

I'm also working on a conversational search engine (using NLP) at http://supersmart.ai

Slightly tangential, the image on the homepage of the woman/baby is 11MB and scaled down by the HTML attributes !

Thats ridiculously large for that image

Parler is being used to plan murder. See the link below. Posts arent being taken down on Parler. This has nothing to do with Amazon not liking a product. People are planning actual murder. Are you serious ? https://twitter.com/IntelDoge/status/1348099918381068289

I have reported posts like that to Twitter and its been removed. Parler's CEO said they arent removing posts from anyone because Parler is "leading the protection of free speech online".

Just because someone posts something like that on Twitter does not make both equal. I've yet to see these terror planning posts get taken down on Parler

People are literally planning to murder other people on Parler but you don't find the content compelling ? There are tons of posts like this on Parler. This isnt a slippery slope, they arent moderating at all

https://twitter.com/IntelDoge/status/1348099918381068289

Everyone saying this is a slippery slope to tech companies regulating speech are being completely ridiculous.

https://twitter.com/IntelDoge/status/1348099918381068289

Check the images there. People are literally planning murder on Parler and people are acting as if AWS, Apple, etc should not do anything. Parler REFUSES to remove these posts.

I could see if it was something other than murder, or violence but I can't take anyone serious who is ok with all the craziness on Parler.

I would completely agree with any conservative or person of any political persuasion if AWS, Apple, etc were deplatforming Parler for their political views.

When did it become controversial to try to stop companies that people are using to organize violent acts ?

Levandowski just filed for bankruptcy saying he has less than $100M in assets . Does anyone know if he will only pay a percentage or is only delaying this by kicking the can down the road to another court ? I would be highly surprised if his employer (Uber) shouldered any of the this

You should post these on yourstack.com so it’s easier to aggregate and comment on. The product hunt team just released that. I hadn’t heard of Wip but am keen to see if there is any value in joining it. Thanks

I completely agree with Marcus' assessment of GPT-2 and its ilk. They are simply regurgitating words with zero understanding of any words/meaning.

It seems that OpenAi and others are peddling this AI when its simply a glorified Eliza on steroids.

People really need to stop using AI in everything. It reduces the meaning.

There is zero AI in this , just a scripted workflow .

I’m sure it’s not as catchy as saying “Scripted Actions for Email”

This isnt true, you can achieve that easily with SPARQL using property paths. I've been doing that and much more with Sparql for years

I've been gently reminding my son that Dude Perfect is pure entertainment and he is barely learning anything with it. He's slowly been drifting away from it.

Thankfully, he watches kurzgesagt, BackYard Scientist, VSauce, TED and mostly scientific or programming videos so its mostly 5 to 1 , educational to entertainment videos with the limited screen time he has.

The Khan Academy courses are really good as well as the ProdigyGame (for math) for keeping him engaged and multiple grades ahead of his current grade.

https://www.prodigygame.com/

My 7 year old son watches Dude Perfect on YouTube, which I had never heard of. Apparently its all the rage, in elementary schools and he heard about it via other kids.

I watched a few to make sure they were ok, but they mostly came off as older guys doing elaborate stunts that kids would do on a much smaller scale (like throwing balls off tall buildings, fat suits on cars, etc )

I'm not shocked they are making $20M or so. One of the episodes showcased their new Dude Perfect headquarters that looked like a block long warehouse with basketball courts, foam pits , etc in it with their DP logo all over it.

I guess it pays to cater to kids base desires on a grander scale
