After the initial 60 seconds of shock that nobody is at the wheel, the rest of the ride makes you quickly realize how much better AI is at driving than regular humans.

I've very interested in this, and completely agree we are still trying to evolve the horse carriage without realizing we can move away from it.

How can I follow up on what you're building? Would you be open to having a chat? I've found your github, but let me know how if there's a better way to contact you.

It doesn't mention how scrolling would work - is that supported?
Re:Title drops in movies on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @03:25AM (#42058070)
I remember about 12-15 years ago, as a weekend project, I reached out to the creator of OpenSubtitles dot org and asked him for a dump of all the subtitles, which he promptly and happily provided. I then indexed them all in elasticsearch (it was a pretty nascent tech at the time), and created a movie quote finder, with timestamps. E.g. you could search for "i love you" and it would tell you all the movies and timestamps that phrase would be uttered. My lazy ass didn't go beyond a localhost version, but I still remember fondly of having gotten that working, it felt like magic at the time.
Re:Shrunked JavaScript monorepo Git size by 94% on Sunday October 27, 2024 @02:43AM (#41960343)
In most EU countries we have multi-gigabit internet (for cheap too). Current offers are around ~5 GBIT speeds for 20 bucks a month.
Re:Geico terminating insurance coverage of Tesla Cybertrucks on Monday October 07, 2024 @04:41AM (#41763958)
What do you mean? It's basically steel blades and sharp/pointy edges on wheels. I'm sure other vehicles will hurt if they hit a pedestrian at speed, but even getting hit at 5 mph by the cybertruck could create very dangerous wounds.

Thought the same until I saw your comment. For those in the same boat: Wiz, Inc. is a cloud security startup.
Re:Today's Cheap AI Services Won't Last on Friday July 05, 2024 @06:08AM (#40881451)
I have pretty much the opposite take: years from now we'll tell our grandchildren that the AI APIs we used to use were paid BY THE TOKEN!

We're in the dialup days of AI, where capabilities are in the hands of very few companies because hardware and training costs are prohibitively expensive. Sure, the apps we use are heavily subsidized by investment funding and the competition is very fierce. I'll also concede that 99% of the AI startups today will fail. But that doesn't mean only the 1% will be left: new ones will continuously enter the arena, compete for attention, and to do that they'll need to lower their prices. All the while, hardware costs will decrease, and incumbents like NVIDIA will inevitably grow stagnant and others will come to eat their lunch. It's the circle of (business) life.

"pluckable strings". Don't really need anything more exhaustive than that. The discovery process is part of the fun.
my company regularly pays for techcrunch, so yes
Mood is too coarse of a filter - I have a feeling in mind that I want the book to help me amplify, not an overall mood. E.g. feeling adventurous vs. "excited".

Re:New Federal Rule Caps Credit Card Late Fees at $8 on Wednesday March 06, 2024 @06:13AM (#39614694)
I saw more than one post about people maxing out credit cards to go long on Bitcoin or other crypto, ALREADY anticipating they will not pay back those cards and just go to collections to pay back 30-40 cents on the dollar. It's like it's become the norm to default.

How do you spot a satellite? I've never seen one.
By that logic, "one language" is actually apt for an app like this, a la 1Password. I.e. one way to interpret is: the service democratizes access to languages so much that one language is all you need to start learning, or all languages are as accessible and as easy to learn as a single language.

If his JS library is as well thought out and as his writing is logical then it must be among the worst UI frameworks ever created.

Re:Making $32k/month as a ticket reseller on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @02:38PM (#37769654)
I know I should respect the hustle, but hard to respect a middleman adding 0 value to the process.

I also love how they softened his side hustle by fitting "helping make tickets more affordable" in the same sentence where he says he resells them at a higher markup.

Re:The Greening of Milan: Porta Nuova and Vertical Forest on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @11:02AM (#37766206)
Milan is not very different from any other EU city. It's just that the majority of the pollution stagnates due to the mountains surrounding the city preventing airflow. There was a famous individual who proposed to wipe out a mountain to solve this...as you can imagine that is a little too drastic.
