With most of these moments put X into everything is just a moment of temporary insanity with a high dose of FOMO. It eventually settles into a clearer patterns of where it makes sense and makes revenue at margin.

The last point is key though if there’s actually margin to be made we’re stuck with it.

Even if it wasn't generated by AI, it reads like an advertisement for some company which sure sounds like a wrapper on top of a LLM. I think the moat for that type of company is a lot less defensible than any of the Vertically Integrated category leaders by a country mile.

This is so cool, I’m glad the company allowed the author to release this to the public. People like myself with knowledge of some of the art and technology involved but that stand outside the industry can get a little bit of a sense how the SOTA of animation evolves.

Secondly the bit about the evolution catching the unnamed studio, likely Pixar in production capability as of the first Zootopia certainly shows up on screen.

What did I just click on? Love the no context drop in with 37 points and no comments.

That being said whatever this is… something

I think you may want to adjust your units there. 500M is a Tuesday breakfast for these AI companies burn rate

Seems like the obvious reason for this is that Mac is now a niche for people that operate computers, where there are likely 6 people that don't for every 1 that does. We keep hearing that the next generation is "true computer" illiterate.

The second reason is likely that there are computers that are 1/3 of the price subsidized by the terrible ad-supported OS installs. (Has anyone tried to setup a MS computer lately, it's an ad-box).

Looks like this post was buried, what part of the rules did it fall afoul of?

I feel like Charles Shaw is an exception to that and cheaper in California?

"Netflix is also looking at making its ad tier more attractive to advertisers, including by bolstering its sales teams and ad operations to “meet brands where they need us and how they need us.”

“We’re focused on the long-term revenue potential here,” said (Co-Ceo) Peters. “We’re very optimistic about it. It’s a huge opportunity."

Seems about what everyone was predicting, and inline with making the watching experience worse. It's surprising they added subscribers. I wonder how many were due to deals with Phone providers etc.

Interesting, they just gobbled up the Mint Mobile MVNO for something like 1.35B which was already using their network and of course there's the Sprint for 26B and now are cutting jobs to save half that.

I wonder how much of this is the articles cable company wireless deals, and more just consolidation of jobs around the new megaco they've created.

Thank you. This will be great to work through with my kids - They're really into the Captain Underpants and Dogman which feature a lot of characters and I'm building their creations into video games with Godot.

Seems like an opportunity to do a reprint? I don't love printing 240 pages on a home printer... but maybe that's the only option.

What's the copyright situation if I tried to reprint this for personal use through an on-demand printer, would they accept it?

Pretty good at transcribing the text, but the outputted music feels for lack of a better word “safe”. For example the kicking beat is way to generic and soft.

I tried to implement this for quite a while but the ecosystem situation both server and client seemed to be a status of "Weekend Project" rather than a robust implementation. Is there commitment to create a reference implementation etc.

Is this confirmed that it's really launching in July, do you have a source?

Can anyone (perhaps a former employee) confirm this behavior. I can’t tell if I’m imaging connections or the words spoken are being ingested by the ad machine.

It seems like a huge overreach to be listening, the microphone privilege I could see being abused for this, but it just seems so wrong.

I totally get your point, that was a fun metaphor.

Wait, obviously Amazon has their own checkout software. Is this a name recognition play to have AWS come with Stripe batteries included?

That was an extremely well written explanation of his viewpoint on the future. Government providing guarantees leads to a weaker central bank and all the ramifications that would have.

Not specific to Twitter but as I understand it. Generally a data engineering team will setup the pipelines and ETL processes to turn transactional data into aggregate data necessary to run analytics.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned this so, I’ve built a very easy to use and modify stack based on PostgreSQL (or SQLite) depending on needs fed into a Flask Python BE. You can ORM it with SQLAlchemy if you like or just run raw queries. You’re running that basically out of as little as one file and you have your API and DB.

At that point you’re free to decide how you want to run your client side, I tend to start with HTML and avoid JS until it’s necessary, then convert where relevant into React. As other posters have mentioned Tailwind is awesome for avoiding writing custom css, there’s a class for literally everything.

Clear separation between your API and your FE pays off down the line.
