I don’t see why people do not use bitwarden. It even supports yubico keys.

I don’t think the title is correct? All OS must have age profiles that external sources can query. There’s nothing explicit that checks the age itself in the law?

It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure the original deepfake used VAE as well. Super powerful idea and architecture

There are different versions of the parakeet model. The 8-bit quantized version doesn't use as many bits. Thus it saves space (only using about 600MB) while maintaining about the same level of accuracy.

I think most apps that use Parakeet tend to use this version of the model?

See if Parakeet (Nemotron) still uses 4GB+ with my implementation: https://rift-transcription.vercel.app/local-setup

Isn’t this the motivation behind polymarket? To incentivize those that have information to bet as a signal of “truth”. What I don’t get is why would anyone bet on this stuff that don’t have insider information besides those with gambling addiction.

It's not just a gambling addiction, but many people consider themselves smarter than the average person, and nature's way of punishing these people is creating things like stock markets and polymarkets.

It’s a gambling site. The motivation behind it is to make money through transaction fees. You can bet on sports games too.

Since when does polymarket charge transaction fees?

Polymarket US has fees:

Some people have better data, like insiders.

Some have better models that predict with higher accuracy, given the same data.

There’s also a vague argument around hedging some actual risks that some market participants genuinely want to hedge… which depends a lot on the specific bet. Eg hedging exposure to specific political events, wars or even company announcements can be relevant and worth a premium for non-insiders. Where there’s a premium to be collected there are speculators to do so.

Because taking high variance slightly negative EV shots is not a terrible strategy when you have a long time horizon.

this is the "lose money on every sale but make it up on scale" version for gamblers and I love that for you.

Definitely not. It’s more like either winning a 1B B2B contract or going bankrupt. Like I said above you don’t want to scale up taking high variance shots because it will reduce variance and converge towards the mean

I feel like the longer your time horizon the worse -ev games are for you?

I bought one lottery ticket, I don't think my odds are gonna get any better than that.

To be clear, I meant the opposite. I meant that if you take a high variance swing and you lose, you have capped downside, so you can rebuild and recover hard long term. Conversely if you win you have a huge head start and can deploy the capital quickly.

Of course you DONT want to repeatedly take -EV bets. That would reduce variance and converge you to the mean which is negative by the central limit theorem.

By “not terrible” you mean “bad but not very bad” and not “good” right?

"High variance, slightly-negative EV shots on a long time horizon" is a gambling addict's way of justifying the old adage, "sure, we're losing money on each sale, but we'll make up for it in volume!"

Disagree, it's way more like overall our sales are losing money, but the long term plan is to get a buy out.

A strategy that works for a non-trivial amount of startups.

The idea is that if you play incorrectly long enough eventually a bigger better that's more wrong then you will come along.

It is for people like me. I'm usually right about things before other people even know about them. Bought BTC in 2011, ETH in 2014 (funded the IPO), Tesla in 2013, Microsoft right when they replaced Ballmer (at $30 I think), Nvidia on the Covid crash day in 2020, learned Rust in 2017, took AI seriously two weeks after ChatGPT 3.5 launched. I never had any insider information. I typically have a good feeling for things.

You are just such a genius. We all stand in awe. Thank you for letting me be in the presence of such towering intellect.

Some might even say Dirac like but I so NO, this simply does not go far enough.

I will remember this moment for the remainder of my life. Thank you.

Great! So how do I follow your moves? Ideally the prediction market would have a way where traders like this filter to the top, but then making that information known would impact the market itself.!.!.

But “making lots of bets” is a measure of your appetite for risk, not your acumen. So unless you are filthy rich (in which case, kudos!) I think you are more proving parent’s point.

> learned Rust in 2017

Seems more like a hobby activity than a decision that would lead to any practically meaningful outcome. Since as you said, you were already a billionaire in 2017 any money you could make by writing software yourself seems insignificant

He even created this channel 5 years ago just for this post. Teach, me bro.

It doesn’t though. If you think about it, improper English and slang strongly effects cultural and social bonding. I too would feel the opposite party is pretentious if someone is correcting me for a casual conversation. If it’s a professional relationship, that’s different.

And so it begins.

Can you blame them? You have 10 million people give or take in about 50 miles.

OpenAI have been very generous in their plans in terms of token and what you use it with. Is Codex better or as good as Opus for coding? No. Is it a decent alternative? Very.

Thanks for the reply. Need to try Codex

I once went to go pick up takeout and they covered the no tip button with a sticker. I was so confused so I put in 10 cents because I could find the button at first. I stopped going to the place since.

Pushing Dan Ammann out was a bad idea. I personally like the original set up at the time. Kyle as the CTO and Dan as the CEO. Kyle was great as an internal CEO, he was calling most of the internal shots anyway. The accident would have played out very differently if Dan Ammann was the CEO IMO.

(Also former Cruise employee)

Was always unclear to me whether DanA was truly pushed out, or if the board (largely comprised of GM execs) wanted to take the company in a different direction than Dan wanted to go, and Dan decided to leave rather than stick around. Ie. IPO vs keep it a majority owned subsidiary.

(Another former employee)

I got the impression that it was a conflict with Mary Barra specifically, not so much the board as a whole. They simply went along with her. The tone of the notice was indicative of being pushed out, not a mutual parting of ways.
