He's the sole reason that student loans are non-dischargeable in bankruptcy and stuck with someone for their rest of their lives. e: nevermind, misread. anyways the answer is yes, and democrats are gleefully giddy to make the freeloading lazy masses pay up

Lol at the people posting earlier today about material conditions. Nothing can stop this ride baby https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-24/sam-altman-valley-vcs-bet-48-million-on-blood-testing-startup Sam Altman, Valley VCs Bet $48 Million on Blood-Testing Startup The idea will give cold sweats to any investor familiar with Theranos Inc. That company, too, aimed to run large numbers of tests on small amounts of blood... Vital Biosciences and its backers are aware of the parallels. “In some ways, it makes it more intriguing,” said investor Lachy Groom The notion of streamlining blood diagnostics holds an enduring appeal. “I’m not a fan of needles. I’m not a fan of blood,” said Groom, a former product manager at Stripe Inc. who invests out of his LGF funds. “I got so excited by what they’re tackling.” Groom was introduced to the startup by a friend who spoke highly of the team. After what he said was considerable due diligence, he concluded it would be difficult to pull off fraud twice in such a specialized field. Vital Biosciences plans to conduct its first official demonstration on Monday at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry in Anaheim, California. Theranos-watchers will be familiar with the event as the same one where Holmes spoke in 2016 to try to restore confidence in her company.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:Stupid, in terms of the needs of the average consumer, but extremely smart for profit. The fact that they're bringing back a non-premium-consumer-level EV is, frankly, kind of shocking. I wonder what their rationale is. Building only premium consumer EVs means that BYD, SAIC, Geely, etc. snap up the rest of the world with affordable average joe EVs.

Let's double down on insane articles tonight https://www.businessinsider.com/marc-andreessen-teaching-son-chatgpt-ai-2023-7 Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he's teaching his 8-year-old son ChatGPT: 'This is like the most important thing I've done as a father' "I set a time aside and I sit him down on the couch and I was like, 'Okay, there's this amazing thing that I'm going to give you.'" the Andreessen Horowitz cofounder told Joe Rogan of the first time he introduced his son to ChatGPT. "This is like the most important thing I've done as a father that I've like brought fire down from the mountains and I'm gonna give you AI and you're gonna have AI your whole life to be with you and teach you things." Andreessen said he was astonished when his son seemed unfazed by the technology. "It's a computer. Of course you ask it questions and it gives you answers. What else is it for?" Andreessen said his son told him.

err posted:Why did that happen? they've always been heavy handed with regards to quality of both questions and answers. i guess they updated their policy a while back. honestly though, a lot of the "core" answers just don't need answering again like basic algorithms or older frameworks no longer in vogue, and there's been a shift to poo poo like discord for tech specific real time support, for better or worse. i'd also argue documentation across the board is better than it's ever been, because there are so many frameworks and libraries that all do more or less the same thing (such as stuff built on react) that people aren't willing to put up with the bad user experience of lovely docs when plenty of competitors could have good ones.

sleep with the vicious posted:"It's a computer. Of course you ask it questions and it gives you answers. What else is it for?" Andreessen said his son told him. this sounds like the part in the sci-fi book where the point is that the humans have lost all context of what a computer is and how it works and where the information and answers come from. anyhow check this out, I was in the kids section of this sports store Scheels, and they sell these little toy wooden swords for $20. the shield is $30  then I went around the other side of the store and in the knife section found these  and ever since, a whole chunk of my brain has been in a weird sort of bugged feedback loop that begins and ends with “what…”

triple sulk posted:github is a really problematic monolith but they're completely subsidized and the competition is lacking Now that Microsoft owns github, it's basically impossible for companies not to use it. Most computer toucher farms exist mostly to shovel as much money at Microsoft as possible, and deviating from this stance is too psychologically painful to bear.

Spotify was planning to roll out HD audio and surround sound as part of a higher cost subscription tier. Then Apple included HD audio and surround sound in their base price($10.99). Apple also included the Classical app (the standard sorting methods for pop are not very useful for classical enthusiasts). Amazon Music Unlimited also put HD audio and surround into their base subscription for prime members at $8.99/month or $89 for a year. That makes it hard for Spotifty to create a desirable new tier. Spotify Hi-Fi was originally supposed to launch in 2021. Spotify does have the best UI, discovery, and user playlists by miles though, and that's important to me.
