GPT works based on tokens, not characters.

Plugging is okay, but you should always disclose if you are involved (which appears to be the case here based on your username).

Twitter's visibility filtering wasn't based on "Your" User Behavior. It was based on what their moderation team decided to filter or not filter.

[2] is referring to 1inch offering 8.05% APY on the 1inch token _only_, which is easy when only 621m out of 1.5b tokens are circulating (i.e. more 1inch tokens are printed to pay the fake interest).

I think you need to work on iOS support, or this will not take off.

P.S. Beautiful project for a problem that definitely needs solving.

Why not implement the tried and true fingerprint verification? Quite easy to do when you're having synchronous, lively video/audio conversations.

'Hide' takes one click :)

They absolutely didn't pay list price. Even the rookiest AWS account manager is going to be able to get a discount on $600k of compute.

No, it won't. A single miner has chosen to *not include* TC transactions in their blocks, but they are not *censoring* TC transactions in the sense that they will validly build upon blocks built by others that feature TC transactions.

As long as 1% of miners include TC transactions, even if 99% choose to not include, TC transactions will still be part of the blockchain, albeit not as timely.

When miners start actively REFUSING to build on blocks that feature TC problems, that is an issue.

For what it's worth, the ethereum development community is actively exploring features that make active censorship a network violation (with censored blocks not being accepted by the network), although this is an area of active research.

Current proposals include PBS+crList.

Is there really great marketplace demand? The hacker/hobbyist community is tiny.

If your hearing aid is made from Apple, you're probably going to be locked in to Apple products for as long as you don't replace your hearing aid.

47% taxes above A$180k/yr (US$125k/yr). Very little loopholes like in the US that allow you to reduce your tax paid.

So considerably less monetary incentive to 'make it big'. For entrepreneurs who want to do that, why not move to the USA and come back to Australia when you want to settle down and have a family?

How can you even buy a 1/4 acre house without making millions? Those go for $2-5 million in Sydney.

How many consumer OS crashes can be attributed to RAM errors?

How many corrupt files, strange bugs, or quirks can be attributed?

The T1 runs an iOS variant because Apple understands that if you can re-use security primitives (Secure Encave from IOS), you have less surface area for attacks and you have a more secure product.

There is absolutely no need for a separate SoC for the lock screen, when the Apple SoC already features high-efficiency cores.

Yeah but Apple products are so expensive, outside of the USA, most[1] people still use Android simply because their budget for a phone is maybe ~$300-$400 and they don't want a SE with the body from 5 years ago.

[1]: 73% according to StatCounter.

This is actually bad news because a super-hot labour market tends to lead to higher inflation; forcing the Fed to artificially slow down the economy even more and increasing the chances that they land with a recession.

Insightful observation. Arab Spring changed Facebook and social media, across the whole world.

Don't forget the AI moderation-on-post. Just recently, a popular 'influencer' posted a scam. I left a comment saying such, along with a comment that the influencer should be ashamed of himself, and immediately, an AI filter told me that my comment may go against the Community Standards, and that repeated attempts to comment would lead to account deactivation. There is no appeal button.

To those building these technologies, beyond false positives and coverage error, it takes one law or PR incident for you to re-train this model against dissent. And to those building technologies like Apple's CSAM scanning, it takes one DB replacement to make it flag photos of the Hong Kong protests or Tank Man.

Things I wish messaging apps had:

1. Forward a message to someone else. Sometimes you're not the best person to answer, but a colleague is. Forwarding should be easy and feature minimal friction.

2. Auto-deleting of messages in a DM after X _messages_ (e.g. only the last 100 messages are retained as scrollback). It forces you to document knowledge in more suitable forms; than having it lost in DM silos. Furthermore, it keeps conversations with your regular contacts more candid and natural; but retains the information and context for infrequent contacts.

3. No typing status (thanks Cardinal!)

Okay, OVH is not realistic, but at Uber scale, you can certainly roll your own data-centres and get costs lower than, or similar to OVH, even when including the cost of sysadmin and maintenance.

Yes, it means you won't get all the shiny quality of life services offered by cloud providers, but you're in a _margin sensitive business_. Deal with it. Optimize every cost.

Also, you don't need expensive engineers re-inventing the most basic things (I know Uber had a huge not-invented-here syndrome). Use the boring tools for the job. Only reinvent what is necessary. You don't need engineers practicing resume-driven-development.

I just do not understand how ridesharing cannot turn a profit. Let's look at unit economics:

~25% take rate on a ride ($15 average): $3.75 take

Payment processing: 2.5% + 30c = $0.68

Servers / datacenters: $0.20 (for a margin-sensitive business, you should be colo'ing your own servers, or using cheap alternatives like OVH/Hertzner)

Customer support: Automate as much as possible (auto refunds up to a certain point; for lost items, connect directly to driver); assume 1 in 50 rides require manual human support with a $3 cost = $0.06 support cost per ride

Fraud/refunds: Assume a 2% fraud rate that cannot be reclaimed; thus $0.30 cost for fraud. Refunds for things like driver purposefully took a longer route can be clawed from the driver.

Gross COGS: $1.24

Gross profit: $2.51

What am I missing?? Marketing? Fuck marketing when you can't turn a profit. Everyone knows about Uber or Lyft already, you need to turn a profit, not waste $30 per CAC.

Rates went down because the underlying economy was seeing slowing growth; particularly due to impacts of the trade war.

Amazon's fulfilment system co-mingles. Checking the seller is pointless, it is an accounting thing only. If it's fulfilled by amazon, then the source can come from _any_ FBA merchant.

so hard to find stock of this in australia :(

Don't think so, as part of signing up to become an Amazon Flex worker, the app explicitly suggests you create a separate Amazon account.

If you make residential investment more expensive (through taxes), you will have less interested investors. This reduces the number of interested parties for home ownership, which means that the remaining parties (i.e. owner occupiers) pay cheaper prices.

Taxes are often used to discourage behaviour society believes to have negative externalities. For example: tobacco excise taxes; and also in the other direction (e.g. concessions for long term capital gains; which is supposed to encourage 'investment').

Without regressing to another ad-infinitum housing discussion, real estate involves two markets: rentals/living, and ownership.

Some people want to own their own home and live in it (owner occupiers); these people however compete with investors who are seeking to rent it out. While investors don't directly affect the rentals market (as you'd expect an owner-occupier to not be a renter), they do push the price of housing, because housing becomes more of an investment (competing against everything else with zero / negative interest rates).

Progressive taxes on investors can mitigate this and make home ownership more affordable. First property, no tax. Second property, 1% of its land value charged annually. Third property: 2% of its land value, etc...
