You can build that with Claude in 2-3 hours. Not sure how this is a business idea.

It is pretty much what Suleyman describes in The Coming Wave as one of the measures we need to take to contain the risks of AI.

What Dario does not mention is that concentration in a few states or companies also poses a risk.

AI generated? The humanity!

I like the way you think.

Claude already does that if you ask nicely.

My hero!
How does the "scale plan" work and how much is it?

Where is part 2? :)
You should take a look at Andre Michelle's work. https://www.audiotool.com/
Just a hint: you can set your player's colour.
I just saw a machine-translated text that was given to a translator I know for "post-editing". Basically you have to delete everything that the machine translated and do it all over again.

If you want to offer that for 1 cent per word you are going to get exactly what you are paying for. 90% of qualified translators are bad enough that I would never let them translate anything for me. I cannot imagine the remaining 10% will work for 1 ct/word.

That is probably the reason new models are en vogue every other decade.

Could you be a little more precise?

Nice product, nice website, nice video. But I wager not many people want to see chest hair in a commercial video.

I don't really care about Karma on this site (mine or other people's). If I did I certainly would have checked this comment earlier ;)

If people post for Karma instead of for content, IMHO it is their problem. It won't make the site much better, but it won't make it much worse, either.

"Shame on you" was my way of saying "who cares?".

a) Far too difficult b) Addictive c) Ouch, my fingers.

Shame on you.

I don't think other people in similar situations are helped by you period.
Re:Just pay me. on Tuesday July 24, 2012 @11:12AM (#4286009)
I would never work with anyone who even proposes such terms. Not because I don't want to pay on time (we always do) but because those terms are unprofessional, to put it mildly. If you want to be treated like a pro, act like one.

Update: Having looked at your resumé, I probably wouldn't work with you anyway.

Re:"therefore, starting now, waffles are now $450.00 each" on Tuesday July 24, 2012 @04:57AM (#4284874)
True. And I think the way Groupon handles this is unjustifiable. I still think that you should be able to work "out of pockets" for at least 3 months. If you can't do that, why start a business? Seems very risky...
Re:17 Year Old Builds a Better Search Engine on Friday July 20, 2012 @03:08AM (#4269777)
I think he wasn't very good. He was obviously underprepared, or he would have had a couple of nicely phrased questions in his head. For a media professional, he was just too inarticulate.

Please tell me that the end of your scale of permanence with regard to writing isn't blogs :)

Pure genius.
I don't really see the point. Getting from my favourite places to my favourite places I usually don't need a map.

I never use it, but Safari's Reader will actually make the text readable with no need for an additional tool.

Bad case of fan-boyism. Go see a doctor.

JFTR: I like many Apple products, but come on.
