How do you know how much effort they're putting in? If they're making stuff up then they're not useful, I think the labs want their models to be useful.

I mean it's a raspberry pi...

I mean, I wouldn't buy this one, but I see the use case. A lot of reading (code, webpages) is done vertically, it's helpful to have more vertical real estate in a typical form factor.

I'm not sure about robustness, would have to wait and see tests.

The magnitudes make it s.t. it doesn't really matter, I think.

Don't think it's a flex, I think it's useful context for the rest of their comment.

I and every other smart person I know still use ChatGPT (paid) because even now it's the best

My smart friends use a mixture of models, including chatgpt, claude, gemini, grok. Maybe different people, it's ok, but I really don't think chatgpt is head and shoulders above the others.

I'm opening up my app right now, and I see none of this. Granted I'm a recent installer (this week), and all I've followed are tech/ml based lists. But it is a much quieter place than twitter.

The major accounts from twitter are not on bluesky, but I don't care for vitriol or meme replies (all of which are much higher on twitter). That being said, twitter still has a lot of interesting people, who are the main reason to continue using the site.

Where are you seeing this?

I'm not a Googler, but would still ask commenters to show some respect for the person who died, and save your opinions about youtube for another day.

The recent MIT period of dominance correlates very well with professor who is coaching the team there.

I think Activeloop(YC) is too: https://github.com/activeloopai/deeplake/

^ Just pointing out, the parent didn't say NP-hard or -complete, so they weren't wrong (but could be misunderstood). But saying Quantum doesn't help for NP isn't right either.

Isn't binance going away? Feels like they're going under heavy pressure and are getting restricted everywhere.

Google?

I believe much of the people that are going back for whatever reason never planned to stay

But why do you believe that? You're asking for the article to prove that isn't the case, and I'm asking in all earnestness, what is the argument that it would be the case?

I don't think the US is better off with foreign nationals that seek education in the US but have no desire to get permanent residency

I don't think this comment draws the distinction between people who came here without long-term plans, and people who came here and left because they felt they would not be welcome long-term.

Not that I love the ads, but bad ads might not be the main or only reason that people are leaving twitter.

This story kind of misses the point, and there's a whole lot that goes into "try" and "try harder".

Not everyone can do anything, but I think any individual person can do a lot. But are they trying and are they thinking about how they're trying?

I don't want to cast any judgement, I just want to ask what the initial product is. The claim is they sell computers, and there's a link to the tinybox. There's a $100 preorder, for a 15k computer (I guess I'd have to pay 14.9k eventually?).

And then we get a computer that... how do I interact with it? Will it have its own OS? Some flavor of linux? Is the intent to work on it directly, or use it as an inference server, and talk over a network?

It's fast, easy for beginners, and free. That's pretty good to start with.

They're describing the worst-case thing someone could do with the privilege

I understand that - I wrote just that in my comment above. But it's a lot scarier to see a pop-up saying "This extension in the worst case does this", versus the worst-case scenario and a longer explanation. I see from your profile that you're at a web3 analytics company. I'll just say that I think metamask would be a lot less popular if at install-time, the chrome store alerted that it can "make you lose all your crypto savings". Yes this is possible, but there's more to the situation than just a few words, and you can't express that all in an alert() window.

if there aren't any fine-grained permissions suited to doing your task — then propose some I think that is easy to say, but being subscribed to and reading updates to the extension feedback threads that I've been on for the last few years, I'm not super confident in Google acting on community feedback.

I spent some time some productivity extensions, for gmail replies[0] and quick notetaking[1]. It was a lot of fun, but like other people have mentioned, porting to and working with manifest v3 is not as nice. I've noticed also that the way Google asks for permissions from the user is done in human-understandable, but worst-case language. For example, I think there was something where I wanted access to the current tab, so I could inject an overlay. I think a friend told me during installation that I was asking to see their history and browsing data. Which is true - knowing what page they're on does let you recreate their browsing history... but when presented to the user like that, it makes it seem like tracking history is the primary thing the extension does? Anyway, frustrating.

(Replying to this one, but the sibling comment feels similar in vein).

- I'm not really saying the crypto-side argument is right, really just trying to clarify my perception of what they're saying re: the comment above me.

- The physics thing is really just a comment re: when it's hypocrisy and when it's not.

- FWIW, theft in crypto isn't super well-defined to me re: the laws of men either. Maybe someone who knows current law better than me can explain, but calling a function in a contract that sends updates from one pseudonymous address to another... I don't actually know if current written definitions of theft covers that, or needs some court to interpret it as theft. We kind of understand it as people, but I honestly don't know if "laws of men" as written, do.

Respectfully disagree. I think I've seen several times the belief(from crypto supporters) that the code is the code is the code, and these are the rules that we play with.

The "laws of physics" analogy doesn't match up. I feel like it would be more appropriate in an anarchist society (physics are the only laws, thus everything that obeys physics is game).

This feels more like discovering an exploit in a video game. It's up to the devs to patch it, or tournaments to outlaw, but if you find something out, you can use it. We agree to play by the rules, but if someone comes up with something last minute, they can win.

FWIW YC has changed over the years, both with different partners and a changing startup ecosystem. Geo-based feedback 10 years ago probably isn't relevant now.

Not in blackjack, you're playing against the house.

I don't really agree with this, with what I've seen. Or maybe we're just interpreting tea leaves differently. I think in a lot of cases, "market is moving in their favor" is not lower valuations, but higher valuations in the verticals that the VC is themselves investing in. Some of that might be signalling for later-stage VCs to invest at later rounds. But I think, other than the onset of Covid, and the last 6 months, I haven't seen an overly negative messaging. It might be true that the immediates (lower valuations) benefit them, but the long-term (no later-stage funding) is not in their favor.

The "private markets" right now are probably depressed, given that ABG is suing and kind of shitting on them? If they want a position in Bolt I feel like it would be the long view.

you incentivize users to switch

Lot of startups do this but have pretty high CaC. In the Sushi/Uniswap case, users were already crypto-native. In the twitter case, the majority of users are not. There's just going to be a bigger barrier than in the former case. Sure, I think if you spend money some people will switch, but it's much less clear to me how much money you'd need.

I hear what you're saying, but I would not state so confidently what prediction "is" and what concepts "are", in the human model.

I don't anyone would find your squishy confidence it's worth 50% more than current value any more credible than shorters who think it's worth 50% less

It's not my opinion that TWTR is worth 50% more. Please don't understand it as such. It's an example of what someone long TWTR could be thinking when they simultaneously hold their position and want to reject the Musk takeover.

I don't think it's worth continuing this thread anymore though. Have a great day.
