Yea the weights are the secret sauce that OpenAI and competitors generally protect.

> For those reading this who haven’t bought a new-in-box retro computer lately, $59.99 is fall-out-of-your-chair cheap, but Pellegrini has largely avoided price-gouging. Only recently did he increase the price to $99.99.

Looks like they've raised prices a few times since. Latest listing by them is at $180:

It is truly painful to watch narcissists rewrite their stories.

And yet, socializing any potential losses across banks (as opposed to homeowners, back in 2008) feels like the appropriate move.

Those who did foresee it made highly profitable trades: https://twitter.com/notmrmanziel/status/1633940364460474372

I assume you're deriving the 23¢ from the 23% they have banked, but I would like to note that of that 23%, roughly a third (3.3bn of 9.7bn) was with SVB. The rest was with other banks not facing the same issue.

Centralized projects are more likely to be deemed securities. If that were to happen with a coin Coinbase actively trades, they would be in legal trouble.

I can't believe they managed to grind that one.

I am not a history expert but it is interesting to hear that re: Rome, given the author's background

> Ugo Bardi is professor of physical chemistry at the University of Florence, Italy. He is a full member of the Club of Rome, an international organization dedicated to promoting a clean and prosperous world for all humankind, and the author, among other books, of The Seneca Effect (2017), Before the Collapse (2019), and The Empty Sea (2021).

Facebook recently used a version of this song in their first ad for the Meta rebrand:

Generally you aren't limited in how much you can sell. If Tesla deposits $270m worth, the exchange won't stop them from selling. I think you mean withdraw (there are pretty strict limits on how much you can withdraw)

Epic - you should mint those emails.

> Some founders create structured equity that only pays out after the company’s stock appreciates significantly. Other CEOs have out-of-the-money options (Elon Musk is famous for this).

I looked up OTM options and it looks very similar to the first sentence. Basically, you (the founder) tie your compensation to the success of the company. You win big if the company wins big. Can anyone disambiguate the two situations in the quote further?

A lot of dunking happening here - titles like this article's can definitely turn people away, as people have learned that money means something (undesirably) different in "crypto." That said, the article does provide a pretty good job documenting the creative process, the path to minting, and the launch of a campaign. I encourage anyone interested in the space to get past the triggering headline and give it a read.

Don't forget "soared" and "plunged", used practically any day the market moves more than a hair.

Oh man. This level of shame for someone not used to it (e.g. not a public figure) will certainly lead to some trauma.

I see other major differences. Discord and other chat-apps invite much more real time participation than the other two you just mentioned. Also discord you have to be logged in to be part of a server, not much casual lurking going on.

Ah, a soft fork focused on SegWit transactions. Every time I try and follow along with the latest in Bitcoin I just don't get that excited. I think that's part of the point, though. "Hard money" and all.

I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe there is a path travelled by horseback often, and that's just where it was found

Reminds me of Camlistore, one of the earlier content-addressable personal storage systems, by Brad Fitzpatrick. Now called Perkeep apparently https://perkeep.org/

For me, mostly work issues. While I find pot is great for interpersonal relationship building, I've struggled with the following while smoking and running a startup:

* I can't prioritize tasks properly (both within work and outside e.g. fitness)

* I become passive as a leader, which isn't good leadership

* I evaluate situations based on emotional resonance rather than factual data

There are more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. These led to bad decisions, poor productivity, and ultimately hurting my trust with the team.

> If you're doing the few simple errors in judgment, time will expose you, no matter how well you appear to be doing right now.

Like smoking pot. I love smoking pot, but wow can it cascade errors in judgment (only realized upon looking back)

Here are the steps I took that have helped me not smoke for the past 1.5yrs:

1. Switched from cigarettes (great taste) to an iqos (disgusting taste).

2. Threw away my iqos the day before I moved countries (back to my home country).

3. Arrived in new country around new years, set that new years resolution.

4. Spent first 1-2 months of new year living with my parents while I searched for housing.

Aside from the resolution, each step wasn't particularly aimed at quitting _forever_. With time under my belt, I've since adopted a hardline "no cigarettes for life" mentality. It comes at the cost of being overly judgmental of others who are smoking. It keeps me in check though; otherwise, I sense that a relapse is far too easy.

It's not like the "New Taylor version" will be valued completely independently of the previous "Taylor version."
