Testing model code tends to be very difficult unless you design your training loop with lots of abstractions and dependency injection which makes the code less explicit and difficult to understand. For example, try to look at the Tensorflow Estimator framework. Absolutely awful to use but is well tested.

The problem statement is the problem - it's way too broad and vague to yield useful results. If the aim is to find a solution to a specific problem (e.g. using less water), that should be the problem statement. If the aim is to find a novel improvement over the "standard" skyscraper, it should start with a reference design and then ask for an improvement subject to some reasonable constraints (e.g. improve one of the listed areas for at most a 10% cost increase).

> [...] the founders were not some random people who didn't understand US culture...This is important to the article's thesis.

This is the opposite of the article's thesis. Musical.ly hit a wall. Only after it was purchased by Bytedance, rebranded as TikTok, and Bytedance poured their magical, cultural-agnostic AI sauce (and ad dollars) did TikTok truly take off. By all indications, this AI magic was wholly created in China and retrofitted onto TikTok.

The article's thesis is that AI doesn't need to understand the culture when it can understand the person at an individual level. The closing anecdote emphasizes the point: a Chinese startup that has a number 1 news app in India and not a single person in the company can read any of the content in their app (Hindi)?! How is that for not understanding a culture?

A petabyte of ram is less than $5MM - using just ram costs and consumer ram as well [0]. So given how much money they make and how many servers they have, I think it’s highly probable.
The caching of images and web pages might be more difficult.

Plus, Google could easily just cache the the results for the top million queries without much ram at all by comparison.

The more modern style of heavier client-side js apps lets you use software development best practices to structure, reuse, and test your code in ways that are more readable and intuitive.

I have seen phrases like that being used to (over)sell something so many times that I feel suspicious and doubtful whenever I see them --- Enterprise Java™ is sold using similar verbiage, and yet I'd never want to work with it again. Some of the worst codebase I've worked with --- ridiculously indirect and abstracted --- were created and described with such terms.

I'll take spaghetti code over whatever dogmatically following "best" practices produces. The former "flows", while the latter "jumps".
I think pricing works in mysterious ways. There are a lot of variables.

- what is the market willing to pay
- does this solve the core problem
- how much is this problem worth (hint time is the most valuable thing in the world)

I don't think it should be more expensive than adobe products at all. My goal is to make it cost efficient for most folks who don't have large budgets. However here are a few points.

- hiring someone could cost a non adobe user $800 for 2-3 videos (this is way more than an adobe product because you are paying for time and skill)
- assets and templates depending on usage can easily cost $100 for a few videos on envato (this also enables non creative users to create professional looking content which solves the problem above).
- if users can move faster and can iterate faster then they make more money (this applies to serious users who know what they're doing and agencies with a higher budget)

Just some of my thoughts. There is no magic bullet for pricing but I think the number one rule I have found with pricing is that it's relative. If Tiffany & co can sell a $1.5k paper clip https://www.popbuzz.com/internet/viral/tiffany-everyday-obje... then pricing is really what you make of it.

There are variables and you have to know what your target audience is willing to pay. My idea on pricing is that I want to 10x your investment. So if I am charging $20 per month. I want you making at least $200 from the service.

If you're an agency making $10,000 from the service I am going to charge $1k

I enjoy contributing to/optimizing the technical core of complex systems. My past five internships and latest research have spanned GPU kernel dev/optimization, malware detection, code regression detection, video acceleration, iOS/Android app dev + acceleration. I love fast-paced environments and learning, and I most especially value opportunities for recent grads.
Compared to how fast things move in frontend world, Django feel like ultra stable to me. Upgrading an old django project to the latest version typically doesn't affect any fundamental things. Maybe some classes has been moved into contrib or spin off as non-core packages, or some methods has been removed and replaced with another methods, but never fundamental changes that requires you to rewrite majority of your code.
Humans being able to invent new existential threats is a very recent development. The way that we have been addressing them so far does not exactly fill me to the brim with confidence.
While there are other document storage services, I'm not aware of any that make commitments for storing data 100+ years. For Fidelius I'm offering a 10 year notice / storage if the service ever sunsets, and I've seen similar from other companies.

The obvious concerns here are the storage media used, the DR plans for the service, and more importantly, trusting that the company will do right by you after you're gone – even if it goes under new management or bankrupts. While I always struggle to find applications for blockchain, perhaps this is a scenario where it could be useful... perhaps you could upload the encrypted data to the chain, and form a contract where the key to decrypt it is released after X years?

Thanks for the feedback! We knew that this would be problematic for some, and rightly so. Especially given the old adage about team and execution being more important than the idea. Perhaps we put this out a bit too early, and should wait until we can be open with our identities. That said, I feel like a clever entrepreneur should be able to get a team like ours excited about a project without giving away the secret sauce.

I would say to those that are worried about us taking your idea and running with it to simply be as vague as they can about the project while still providing enough meat to catch our interest. If we're interested we'll be more than happy to sign an NDA.

This is all an experiment for us too, but hopefully we learn something from this approach :)

I think wide consumption is getting there, but I don't think it will be ever ready for consumption by learners. There is just a lot under the hood.

(It pains me to write that because otherwise I am very much against Joel's law of leaky abstractions, I believe in aiming for leak-proof abstractions, and I know they are possible. It's just that it probably is not always possible, and it is especially hard to abstract learnability, and it is a lot of work even when it is possible.)

While I also think most people do not need async and will not see differences, I focus on learning aspect and refrain from saying "you probably don't need it", because I found people are not stupid and people who insist on async usually have actual need for async. This may be due to what kind of people congregate on my local community and may not hold elsewhere though.

I agree with your sentiment though: a short period of imprisonment in a presumably low security prison plus <US$1M in fines is definitely on the slap-on-the-wrist side of Got-Off-Easy <> Disproportionately-Severe spectrum.

Exactly as the other guy posted. U235 doesnt do anything "interesting" until you get it to around 3%.

Due to somewhat obvious reasons (not a lot of net-new uranium being formed, and the half life is fairly stable), the Uranium concentration is pretty uniform around the world and is something like:
uranium-235 0.720%
uranium-238 99.275%
uranium-234 0.006%

Evaporation and other factors wont change this, it hasnt changed this ratio in the muti-billion years Uranium has been on earth. What does change this is the half life of U235. U235 wont naturally 'accumulate', it doesnt move around in rock to form higher concentrations, it is generally 0.720 everywhere.

The natural reactor ran becaues back then there was simply more U235 (half life 700 million years) vs the half life of U238 (4.5 billion years)

No Hypothetical examples needed. Open pit mines wont do anything 'interesting' unless you can either go back in time, or reverse the U235 Decay and then add water and you will probably get something like what took place at Gabon.

Where do you see changing goalposts? First, I started from the obvious truth that apple wasn't the first service that advertised itself as 'secure'. Then I addressed the popular technofetish about the e2ee: people kinda like to feel secure, but are rarely ready to accept all strings that come attached to real security & privacy.

You see, e2ee is only practical against the service provider that you have reasons not to trust. But if you don't trust Apple, then you should not trust it all the way to the bottom: and at the bottom we see that iMessage apps give a user zero control over said e2ee. You don't really know who decides your messages on another end: your chat partner or MitM proxy.

If you trust Apple that they do not have such proxy, you might as well trust them to not snoop on your chats and store them unencrypted on Apple's servers, saving you from a lot of problem worrying about your keys, devices, etc.

“Why should I care about future generations – what have they ever done for me?” Groucho Marx

Sure, off-loading the work onto the client doesn't help speed.

But Groucho would say now, "Why should I care about the client? What has the client ever done for me?"

Sure, the web pages don't load any faster 'cause they're now running a cr*p load of javascript. And that javascript is running more and more annoying ads. And that's because ads support most websites and there's a finite ad budget in the world and that budget is naturally attracted to the most invasive ads available.

I often consult d20pfsrd.com, a site that hosts the open gaming license rules to the Pathfinder rule system (D&D fork/spin-off). Information itself is just static text and once was, apparently, supported by text adds. But now, naturally, it serves awful video ads as well. I would strongly suspect the site isn't getting more money for this, it's just that now that advertisers can run this stream of garbage, advertisers must run this stream of garbage.
This is really cool, love the niche this fits into — and for other future founders, there's a lot of low hanging Adobe apps which could follow this path: Audition? Acrobat?

This is caused by induced demand. This comes up a lot for car traffic [0]. If you build wider roads, you will almost always just see an increase in traffic, up to the point where the roads are full again. The metaphor is not perfect, but I think it is fairly apt.

Expanding infrastructure increases what people can do, and so people do more things. In some cases, it just decreases the cost of engineering (you can use more abstractions to implement things more quickly, but at the cost of slower loading sites). But in the end, you should not expect wider pipes to improve speeds.

> I do trust the team of 1Password to be competent and not evil, but there are many things that can go wrong anyway.

Very much this. I don't benefit in any way from having a copy of my sensitive data in their cloud, so as a very basic security principle, I don't want them to have it.

And that's just for my personal use. If they drop support for local vaults, I have to stop using it for work, too, because my employer prohibits password managers that store passwords in the cloud. My understanding is that these policies are specifically designed to keep us in compliance for government contracts, so I don't think they're changing.
Thats because the US requires juvenile moral arguments to maintain support for things that have nothing to do with juvenile moral arguments.

It derives it’s power from a population that has little history, prophecies or goals in common, so childish moral high ground is all it has to continue stewarding its massive resource appropriation efforts.
>> What are you talking about?

> The utility of client-side hashing.

You have responded in the wrong place. Let's start over.

pests claimed that performing a client-side salt/hash in addition to a server-side salt/hash has two benefits:

P1: User passwords on the server can't be correlated with other passwords in database dumps.

P2: Knowing a user's password on the site so protected will not let you learn the user's password on other, third-party websites.

But claim P1 is nonsense. It is true that user passwords on the server can't be correlated with other passwords in database dumps. But client-side hashing has nothing to do with that. If the client-side hashing were not performed at all, it would still be impossible to correlate user passwords with other passwords in database dumps.

Claim P2 is shaky. It's correct that -- if the method of learning a user's password is to read their active TLS connection with the server -- the password learned by that method will not be useful on other third-party websites. But it does not apply if the attacker's method of learning the user's password was by cracking a password entry in a database dump. The password learned by that method will be whatever the user typed originally, not the hash of it received by the server.

What is the value that you perceive in claims P1 and P2? ("Thanks. That was a really clear and concise explanation.") Why are we describing an entirely spurious claim as "clear"?
> pushing to increase price serious?

I agree. I'm puzzled why this is getting so much excitement, it's hardly in the ballpark of "After Effects".
