I would have hoped that my comments around growth, along with the fact that I have not explicitly said that they should be condemned, would suggest to any reasonable reader that I am not arguing that they should be condemned.

In point of fact, it is perfectly possible to ask hard questions without being judgmental. It's objectively wrong to deny employment to a woman just because they won't blow you, but if Rogan is as skilled of an interviewer as so many people paint him out to be, then surely he is capable of approaching the subject with tact. Give your guest the space and the comfort to feel open with discussing their past experiences and how they may view them now.

If, however, they end up feeling shame and shut up, well - that's on them.
Divide that price by the # of users and the $300M can make sense...
Oh absolutely, I've been doing it for years. The thing is, it's easier for managers if people are full time, and most tech managers are really bad at managing, so they basically never advertise for part-time. But if you send CVs to people for whom you are a really good fit and say you're only available part time, a bunch will bite. Hiring good devs is so hard now that if part-time is the only downside to hiring you, you can find work. It's usually easier if you are willing to be a contractor, but I've also been an 80% time employee twice now.

You also need to try the right kinds of places. Small shops, startups that are cash constrained, consultancies or agencies with variable amounts of work, bootstrapped companies, and tech enabled service companies are all good fits. Big VC funded companies spending other people's money, not so much. Just plan on sending out tons of applications and you'll find some.

As somebody who's worked at startups aplenty, this is ok advice for the first X years of your career, where X might be ~2-5.

Reading this thread got me to pull up a map and notice the Mohenjo-Daro site[0] is evidently being damaged by the current flooding, particularly in excavated areas[1]. It would appear that in the 1960's there was a flurry of publications arguing about the idea that perhaps the Mohenjo-Daro civilization declined precisely because its cities had been destroyed by catastrophic floods. There's a lot to read, but I found this article[2] from 1965 that goes into a lot of detail about studies of flooding in the area, and mentions some of the research of the time.

It is a cultural thing but not exactly how you describe. Back then nobody expected Free Software to have a security benefit. That was actually the argument for proprietary software: we'll sell you a blob you can't legally or technically modify, and in exchange we will support the software[0]. Proprietary software was supposed to be superior in quality to Free, because the companies making it had the financial power of the copyright monopoly backing them and legal penalties for selling substandard code.

Early FOSS projects imitated the development processes of proprietary with small core teams of hackers only releasing "finished" code as physical media. The first GNU releases were sold on backup tapes, for example. The modern "bazaar" style of having in-progress development done in the open and accepting patches happened later with Linus Torvalds and Linux. This is an artifact of both culture and technology: you have to both be willing to accept and review unsolicited patches and be "online" enough to where this makes sense as your primary development process. That's where you start getting the whole "if everyone can read the code then bugs can get fixed faster" argument that OSI pushed.

Concurrently with this, the personal computer market switched from "here's a BASIC interpreter, a manual, and some type-in programs, go nuts" to packaged shrinkwrap software. Free Software really did not exist in the personal computing world; the closest was "public domain" software which often did not come with source and is more akin to what we'd now call "freeware" - zero cost but not a FOSS project. Computer users at the time did not care about the license, or security, and would copy and execute anything they could because nobody had poisoned the well yet.

[0] This is still an oversimplification. IBM pushed for proprietary software as a way to head off antitrust concerns, since beforehand they sold source-available software packaged with mainframe hardware.

> Hard, hard disagree. I hear tons of of discussion around recent shows like Squid Game, Bridgerton, Selling Sunset, The Witcher, and Money Heist. Saying that Netflix only has Stranger Things is kind of like saying Nintendo only has Mario. Netflix also still has the viral hype marketing strategy perfected.

Sure they put out some good stuff, but those are neither money printing franchises like Star Wars, Marvel, or Pixar, nor are they critical darling genre defining series like The Sopranos, Game of Thrones or The Wire.

For all the money they've spent on original content, they're just not in the same league as the big boys. They are data-driven / engineering-driven, which leads to kneecapping anything too creative (eg. The OA, Tuca & Bertie), and sanding off all the rough edges (https://www.vice.com/en/article/ake3j5/why-does-everything-o...). And their UX? The algo-driven engagement designed to hide the weakness of their library. This works until it doesn't, and frankly I've long since stopped browsing Netflix. I only watch something there once I've already determined it's on Netflix.

> I don't think Prime Video makes the kind of profit margin that its competitors do: it's there to help the no-margins logistics juggernaut stay in the black by giving subscribers an extra little nudge not to cancel.

Yes, this is absolutely true, and this is why Netflix is in a particularly difficult situation. How are they supposed to compete with a loss-leader for a business the size of Amazon Prime?
> On June 22, 2020, a month after George Floyd’s murder, the director of Google.org emailed the Jewglers listerv, to formally apologize to Jewish employees. He cited concern from Jews at the company that Google’s donation to the Movement for Black Lives, M4BL, had unintentionally been antisemitic.

> The reason? Jewglers leadership had issued formal complaints to company leadership about the donation, saying it was antisemitic because M4BL, a coalition of dozens of groups, included organizations that had expressed their alignment with the perspectives and language of Palestinian-led groups.

> The apology from Google did nothing to protect against antisemitism. Instead, it only pitted us against one another, which divides us and makes us less safe. The world is better when all marginalized communities can work together to fight injustice everywhere.

BBB is stupid expensive compared to Amazon/online and even other B&M stores like Target, TJ Maxx and the like.

If a recruiter denies you because you have .NET 6 on your resume instead of .NET 7 then that probably isn't a very lucrative job in the first place. You don't need a month of skill up to go from 6 to 7, maybe like 10 minutes.

> synthesizes multiple intermediate frames from two input images

That's a neat use case, and definitely a good way to show off, but what about more than one image?

The overwhelming majority of video that exists today is 30fps or lower. The overwhelming majority of displays support 60hz or more.

Most high-end TVs do some realtime frame interpolation, but there is only so much an algorithm can do to fill in the blanks. It doesn't take long to see artifacts.

I would be more interested to see what an ML-based approach could do with the edge cases of interpolating 30fps video than 2 frames.
We set up an ssh cert signing server using Hashicorp Vault [1] so we didn't have to keep rotating keys across a fleet of boxes we couldn't always reach. It was cool but it made me nervous to centralize something like that.

Cert sigantures expired after 30 min so leaks were not a problem.

It was backed by DynamoDB and the keys were in memory so everytime the containers rebooted someone would have to manually unseal before SSH would work again.

Stable Diffusion is much less of a nanny too.

Thats exactly the biggest concern. Private companies are asking for government ID and most of the time they're not handling it securely, and it is also stored with other very personal information the application collects from you. Totally sketchy in nature.
The whole issue is self inflicted by the German government. So far Russia adhered to the supply contracts. The stakes are high for Russia here. If Russia would not adhere to the contract even in these times, other contract partners like India and China would likely reconsider their long term contracts.

It was Europe which decided not to by cheap Russian gas anymore and to ground their own economy. Instead Europa has to buy gas now on the spot market for about ten times the price. So Russia is more than happy by adhering to the contract and watching Europe to inflicting the damage themselves.

If the West would have decided to buy their NLG somewhere else 5 years ago, Russia would have invaded the Ukraine even with less considerations.
In my case, that often means that I simply won't engage at all.

I usually find myself wondering if now is really the best time to start the trial, or whether I'd be better off saving it for another time. I might need it more later, or have a project that's a good fit for the trial, or have more free time later, so I put it off. Then that cycle repeats until I eventually forget about the product entirely and move on to something else.

It's a bit like the "Too Awesome to Use" trope [0].

I am much more likely to engage with feature-limited trials without an expiration, or at least usage-based trials.

Is it only the rate of production that makes a difference? If we hooked up our brains to computers that could turn our thoughts into pixels at a rate of thousands per day you'd see no issue?

I don't think we should distinguish between meat and silicon neural networks. People should be able to use whichever neural network they see fit for a particular task. If a person has a right to observe and incorporate an image, so should a ML model operated by that person.

Also, you may see a picture and imitate it. You may not copy or redistribute it directly.

> How do you know this AI didn't just imitate one of the million pictures it saw

I think the onus is on the copyright holder to prove a violation to a specific work.

> who should it sue?

I think the operator of the network is liable. If you distribute an image that is found to be in violation of a copyright, then you are liable no matter how you came about it.
I don't know, I think it makes sense to have highly-visible verification UI on profiles that are using names, bios, and/or profile pictures that are clearly claiming to be a well-known public figure. Like, if you see a profile with the name "Jacob Smith" and an unrecognizable photo, what does it even mean to say that profile is verified? You don't have an existing human referent for that profile information anyway, so what is being verified? On the other hand, if you see a profile with the name "Tim Cook" and a picture of the Apple CEO, you do have an existing referent, so it does make sense to be able to quickly spot the checkmark to see that the social network has verified that profile.

Of course, the social network could just attempt to verify every single profile, perhaps by requiring the submission of an approved government-issued photo ID and some human or automated comparison of the ID in the photo and the uploaded profile photo. But that has other obvious issues, namely around privacy and the ability to implement the process reliably.
I can't prove it of course but it wouldn't surprise me if they had this pretty much done already long ago (dall-e has been out for several months at this point). The actual implementation doesn't look like it'd take more than a few days to code honestly (and they've got quite competent coders over there). Only speculation of course.
Love these questions! Regarding zinc oxide, the limits in the US, Canada, and Europe are 25% Zinc oxide in any product (to avoid toxicity) and we are at 17%, which allows us to stay well under that limit, but still get the SPF 30 claim. You're also absolutely right that we are replacing oxybenzone, homosalate and octocrylene - all banned in the EU - which have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and skin allergies. Longer term, it is possible we will find another alternative to zinc oxide, but at this time it is hands down the safest SPF ingredient to be using. All regulatory bodies will agree.

Your question about iron oxide is super interesting! Like any tinted product (even artificially tinted like a foundation), there is always some risk to the product getting on and staining clothing or accessories. Because our product is primarily meant to be used on the face, we are less concerned about this. We may create another version of this product for body, and will need to be much more conscious of the possibility of staining. We also formulated the product to have a fast "dry-down" time, meaning it absorbs relatively quickly into the skin. After a minute or two, it should not be rubbing off easily on clothing or other accessories.

I have relatives in age 17-20 and they use snapchat a lot, and have not abandoned it for something newer and cooler. Some use tiktok, but I think it's more for entertainment. Snap is for connecting with their real life friends. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it has the least churn in its category.

Social media company perceptions are skewed by hype cycles. For instance, snap has more DAUs than Twitter (plus bots likely inflate Twitters numbers more), but everyone talks about Twitter as if it's a giant that everyone uses. It's important to look at the data sometimes, and not just high profile drama.

It comes down to content moderation. If a company begins to moderate content that travels through its network, it can be held liable and forced to remove things that any entity or governmental body could disagree with.

For example that means if the Republican Party was hosting on Cloudflare and the Democrat Party disagreed with the Republican Party, they could force Cloudflare to remove the Republican Party's websites from transiting their network.

Another example is if the Washington Post and Fox news both went through Cloudflare, and Fox disagreed with the Washington Post they could force Cloudflare to remove the Washington Post.

The moment you set the precedence it becomes an expectation -- by Cloudflare remaining neutral they can't be forced into that position.
