A lot has changed since ChatGPT was released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act wasn't in effect back then. Microsoft hadn't made their big investment yet either. OpenAi is a growing target, and the laws are becoming more strict, so they need to be more cautious from a legal perspective, and they need to consider that compliance with EU laws will slow down their product development.
The references seem wrong though. I'm looking at the response to a demo Bing query, "What cars should I consider buying that are AWD, go 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, seat 6 or more and have decent reviews?"
The 2022 Kia Telluride is a midsize SUV that can seat up to eight passengers and has an AWD option. It has a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds [10] and has a combined fuel economy of 21 mpg. It also has excellent reviews from critics and owners, and won several awards, including the 2020 World Car of the Year [7].

The references don't back up the 7.1 seconds or World Car of the Year claims.
On monetization it's not even close afaik. Some YouTubers make seven figures, and I don't know that blogging can get there. Although if some bloggers are making seven figures I'd be intrigued. Several YouTubers voluntarily discuss their numbers.
In other words, megacorps should buy up / produce all the housing so that the employees can't become home owners?
In California this would be framed as a repeal of Prop 13. Not sure why you think that is easy to legislate away.
Is facial recognition so good that it can distinguish you from a billion other people? I assumed the photo recognition relied on the social graph i.e. to look for your friends or friends of friends in your pictures.
What would you ban?
Not sure if Signal is doing this, but they could send a notification with title "New message" and encrypted payload. The payload can be processed by a client-side notification extension which decrypts the payload and chooses what notification text the user will see.
It would be hard to find a job that pays $400k cash (yes I'm aware of Netflix) so there isn't much need to put a specific cash value on the RSU component for comparison. You're typically comparing two job offers which both have an RSU component.
RSUs have a volatility component (so discount the value for that, depending on the value of the grant vs your net worth), but also RSUs generally appreciate over the vest (it's not too common for a stock to be down over a 4-year period) which is a plus.
I like it. I think it's missing the option to increase the stamp sizes though?
What I really liked about Kid Pix was the ability to make animations through the slideshow mode. You could put together up to 100 pictures in a slideshow and set the time per slide to < 1 second to create animations.
I feel you, and I spent most of my time at non-FANG earning much less.
At https://www.levels.fyi/addcomp.html I see someone could upload an offer letter, or a W2.
Base + bonus + annual refresher should be in the 700s annually. Likely the way this gets to $1M is with stocks going up and stacked refreshers (getting a couple annual refreshers while the initial grant is still vesting).
Wouldn't checking for remote jobs around your area sort of defeat the purpose?
Stocks (and therefore RSUs) are up. I joined a FANG in 2019 with $500k RSUs. Now I have $740k in unvested RSUs, including $600k remaining from the initial grant.
The PDF doesn't mention trading rules. You can refer to tournament rules or Monopoly computer games for what is or is not allowed -- and these types of trades are not allowed.
If your object IDs are 1, 2, 3... then attacker can check all the IDs. If instead each object ID is a 256-bit UUID, then the attacker can't make a query for every possible object ID.
I'm not sure I understand the concern here. Typically there is a logged-in user, and server asks Zanzibar if the user can or cannot access some document. Whether a certain document exists or not isn't typically a secret i.e. you might get HTTP 403 (forbidden) or 404 depending on whether or not the document exists.
Even though FANG and startups are giving similar whiteboard interviews, they are evaluating on different dimensions to select candidates that fit their respective companies and the specific position. Reducing the Leetcode skill to a single number would not work well for this reason.
The difference is that what you can learn on StackOverflow might actually be useful on the job.
Also don't forget all the blog posts about how hiring is broken, particularly because high school dropouts are able to put hundreds of hours into the game while senior swe are busy with their jobs and families.
A majority of the time is spent on the "LeetCode grind." You can evaluate your own progress while you solve practice problems by checking time and checking how many solutions are correct on the first submit. Most likely 1 week would barely be enough to establish your baseline performance per category (DP, trie, etc.).
I recently noticed that about reddit. I thought it was just a time wasting site with a political bias. But actually it is a site for spreading false information. Maybe it doesn't get called out often because it's a bit smaller than FB. But for its 50M+ DAU, I presume that false information must be harmful.
Not sure what you mean by free market in this case? Right now households can use electric and gas, and there is no ceiling to how much they can use of each. How would politicians reduce the carbon footprint of homes without changing that? Even adding taxes would disrupt the free market.
How were you not using a gas water heater 15 years ago?
Why would Stripe write legislation to create a new tax? How does that help their bottom line or their customers' bottom line?
Thanks for reading. I've added a section about this in the "logistics and risks" section.
I'm basically adding this to the list of hard problems to be solved, instead of providing a specific solution. I do not know if the existing airports can be remodeled or operated differently in order to handle more passengers. I do not know if a high-speed rail will be put in place that could quickly shuttle people to an airport in Bakersfield, etc.

Backups would be great and solve the issue I mentioned. I assumed that of all the people tinkering on the Pi, only a minority would set up automated backups
Same.
Hosting websites at your house? Slower load times for your users.
Hosting git at your house? If your house burns, you might lose all copies of the code.
Hosting a manual WordPress installation? That's making work for yourself IMO.
