Really cool! I did something very similar about a year and a half ago, and it's been coasting with okay traffic since then: namy.ai

Curious to know what you're using in the backend? Did you do any finetuning? Happy to share my process (what I did was scrape top 1mill websites and use that as training data for names on T5 nlp model)
Daytime too curiously enough. Though I suspect some of it may be the proliferation of cheap LED replacement “bulbs” being put into housing meant for halogen bulbs and never being aligned/aimed to mimic the factory cutoff.

I don't think that is how it works. In the ad the Kaltmiete is €1900, which is simply the rent without utilities. It does not mean that a. you are eligible to buy that property b. the buy-to-rent price will be the same.

And even if it was, the legal costs alone add up to a few tens of thousands of EUR for a property like this (eg. if the property is worth €500k, you are looking at at least in the order of €50k of legal costs and taxes...). But I don't know of any bank that would lend you 100% of the price of the property you want to buy, if you do please introduce me to them...

If it really was so easy, everyone would be buying these properties. But the upfront costs are simply prohibitive.
Tesla ignited this EV moment. If humanity using EVs will have a minuscule impact on climate change, then you are correct.

What’s the big deal with the film? JFK is a bigger deal because he didn’t survive. Otherwise his assassination is one amongst many. Whether or not there is this conspiracy going on, how much different would things be if the opposite really happened?

I don’t think much would be diff. Very important assassinations like MLK and Malcolm X would still happen. Capitalism being the primary “thing” in all American’s lives would still be a thing. Liberalism would still make the government a tool for private capital/capitalism as it is now.

Whether or not the US government is captured by Organized Crime seems unimportant. The deepest rabbit hole one could find these days in why the world sucks would be investigating capitalism, neoliberalism, and imperialism.

There are many cases, such as: https://www.wmur.com/article/lawsuit-new-hampshire-sig-sauer...

In this cause the suit is that the gun is defective, it can fire without a trigger pull.

The Apple suit is claiming negligence on the part of Apple because they did NOT do something "simple" to prevent tracking. It'll likely come down to whether that "simple" thing actually was, whether it was known, etc, etc.

How a product is marketed can also come into play, which is why Apple has been very careful (just like gun manufacturers) to never say or imply that it could be used for crimes.
The plaintiffs argue otherwise:

> Smith explains that she decides whether to take on a commission based on the message that the work will convey, rather than the person requesting it. This means, she says, that she would “happily” design graphics for an LGBTQ customer who runs an animal shelter. But she will not take on commissions that would be inconsistent with her Christian beliefs – including, she says, by promoting same-sex marriage – because a custom wedding website would “express approval of the couple’s marriage.”

> Smith warns that allowing the 10th Circuit’s ruling to stand would mean that artists will be required to engage in speech that violates their conscience. Calligraphers who support abortion rights can be compelled to create flyers for anti-abortion activists, she says, and musicians who are atheists can be required to perform at religious ceremonies.

> To be honest, I already got to the “why bother” state by seeing on the internet how many human artists are so much better than me.

Same here, it's extremely hard to find motivation when I know every idea I have has been done better by someone who isn't me, or recently by a computer. In either case I can't meaningfully compete and if it's been done better, why do it at all?

This applies to art, but even more broadly than that. I get no satisfaction in creating something when I can see people who have done it far better than me via a quick search.
By adding another portion, you decrease the chances for the whole.
I have trialled live coding with it and while amazing it suddenly generates half outputs and gets stuck. Right no, no, its swamping their volunteers, not suddenly making their service better.

I think we disagree of the relative complexity: operating smart contracts is way harder and less proven than what I described, I think the smart contract vulnerabilities described on https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ show that well enough.

It seems like there are plenty of people essentially thinking something along the lines of: "I know this is a useless asset that only an idiot would think has real value, but I will get in and unload it on a bigger idiot before the crash...".

The issue with investing using the "bigger idiot hypothesis, is that sometimes, you are the biggest idiot and are left holding the bag of sh$#.

Sadly, it seems that often the biggest idiots somehow end up in governments and financial institutions.
> power lies with the large coin holders.

That is not true. This shows a terrible misunderstanding of how PoS works.

Stakers are only rewarded in proportion to their stake. "Power" in PoS comes from being a validator node, which requires the minimum stake of 32 ETH. Having more ETH on a node does not give them any power. Yeah, whales could try to create many nodes, but they would need 66% of the nodes to even consider the possibility of blocking a transaction or making a double spend.
>Explain why the problem you’re solving is impacting society, rather than brag about the amount raised, valuation, or the VCs pedigree

I feel like this fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of "startups". Startups exist to make fast cash for investors, with the downside of often being vaporware and being worth nothing. This is *not* a model in which solving a problem is your objective, your objective is to capture a market or (most likely) be bought by a bigger company who has more confidence than you do. Accept that and producing a shiny toy for the VC ecosystem to play hot potato with.

If you want to *solve* a problem, you should form a business with the expectation of slow, but steady growth and long term objectives (or if you're feeling really bold, a 501c3). Anything which can be created by 2 fresh college grads in 6 months isn't solving anything major, honestly it's probably just a wrapper about some POSIX and a few APIs.
On the bright side, dumb people have always been around. It's not like it's getting worse, in fact I would bet it's getting better. The meta-phenomenon is not something new here.
What's worse is that the Apple Music app on Mac doesn't even have lyrics (and is ridiculously bad in many other ways). It feels like they are slowly abandoning the platform.
In all fairness, the legal situation in outerspace is very anti-private business. It was based on the Antarctic Treaty which basically says "everything here must be done under the auspices of a government, and non-public activities are to be avoided."

We should have based it on the Law of the Sea which says "As long as a ship is flagged by a government, it can do pretty much what it wants as long as it follows customary rules."

You can't own territory on the open sea, but if you're using it for something, it's yours for as long as you're using it. That would be a good rule for the moon but realistically, if a powerful agency wants you to move, you move.
I think this is the big open question of evolution as a whole, and language and art can be seen as the evolution of ideas/memes as Dawkin wrote about in the Selfish Gene. Were these developments sufficiently iterative, or was there some great leap that came out of nowhere? Was the wing merely just a stump on an animal that allowed it to leap tree to tree a foot further, or was it some process unknown to us? Was art just a splatter of blood on a cave that looked like a face to our brain’s face neural network, or did some inventive genius paint a mosaic when nothing else was ever on the cave wall?
While employees at startups don't take on the exact same risks as the founder, they do take on personal risks when joining one and I think the reason founders are demonized is because they regulary ignore this fact, especially when it comes time to divvy up the cash.
Bill Wurtz on HTML Energy
While semiconductor fabs are highly automated, the machines are complex enough and do extreme enough things that they break a lot, requiring human intervention. MTBF for many of the machines used can be measured in hours, it's not like you can set up and go home. TSMC has around 65k employees overall - a cursory search did not yield their makeup by job breakdown, although from 1997 through 2003 around 50% of their employees were 'factory' workers via [0].

I'd expect high-margin items like semiconductors to be more amenable to onshoring anywhere - certainly Intel has almost all of its fabs in highly developed countries, but I think this is hardly a cost efficiency move - rather it's a hedge against the failure of globalization and the risk of the US losing access to advanced semiconductor technology in case of strife in Taiwan. Russia has already lost this access. TSMC took in about $56B in '21, of which about $28B was 'cost of revenue', the amount they needed to spend on supporting this revenue (marketing, legal, production, e.g., not building factories or R&D). There's certainly room for increased production costs while maintaining a profit.

P/E ratios for the SP500 are 18, while Developed is 12 and Emerging are 11. That’s a 5.6%, 8%, and 9% real return, for an expected nominal yield of ~12%, 15%, 16%. Looks like good P/E ratios to me, and you’re out here acknowledging you’re buying unprofitable garbage co meme stocks. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
That makes sense when there's audio that Apple hasn't seen before. With Apple Music Sing, it makes more sense to do that processing once in the datacenter.
In an ideal world this would make Apple, Samsung, Google and the others start using a common system where you could find out if a tag is following you regardless of your phone's OS. I guess a big part of the problem, if there is a technical problem, is that these tags are siloed in separate systems. How many Android users are going to download and run an Apple app to get notified if there's an Airtag following them? What about Tiles, Samsung tags, whatever is sold on AliExpress, etc?

If course the real issue is that people will always do bad things to others. These abusive exes could have followed these women in rented cars, would we really blame Hertz in that case?
Always blame the workers, never blame a system that is based in the following pillars: the exploitation of said workers, unlimited growth, the plundering of developing nations and the vast ammount of profits being kept by the capitalist class.

Using Caffeine to Optimize Mental and Physical Performance [video]
What he did with the money is irrelevant. He sold people a lifetime support contract. He then decided he wanted them to pay more, so he canceled them all just because he felt like it. The fact that his original sale was a stupid idea is also immaterial. Every one of those people should get a refund, because he's explicitly told them they're not getting what they paid for. Instead he keeps their money and invites them to give him more. It's revolting behavior.
Another thing I'd add: The Vancouver Special arguably led to the legalization of secondary suites across Vancouver.

Their design was optimized for 2 suites even though they were usually built in single-family zoning districts; enforcement of the 1-family rule was fairly lax: https://twitter.com/GRIDSVancouver/status/134921351159592140...

It led to a situation where the law was at odds with reality on the ground (tens of thousands of people living in technically-illegal suites), and I think that was a huge factor in Vancouver's decision to (finally) legalize secondary suites across the city in 2004.
Business values have definitely changed over the years. This has lead to a drastic change in options available to consumers and what they have come to expect. And even in what schools in the US teach.

When something is a cultural change... and you notice something better in the past... how do you push to make it better, again, in the future?
I love karaoke, but I wish we could switch to a system with better visual cues.

For example, anyone remember those Disney sing-a-longs with the bouncy mickey mouse icon? IMO, the icon really helps communicate timing information; you can tell what's coming by the speed and arc of the icon. I'd love to have that system with a wider variety of music.

There's also RockBand's approach, which displays scrolling syllables to be sung when they cross a white line. It's a bit harder to read, but I'd take it over traditional karaoke.
The reflections are overwhelmingly a result of glass. The paint is basically anecdotal by comparison.

"The viability of electric cars is directly related to the local price of electricity."

Is there anywhere on earth where gas is cheaper than electricity? Outside of like the middle east maybe. I suppose you'd have to remove gas taxes for a clearer picture. But that just shows that the government can make electric viable whenever they want by raising gas prices.
Considering you basically can only get a certificate for a domain name that refers to a host (and offering an IP address for an unqualified domain name is an anomaly) I’d expect the required subject to be the hostname. But the RFC does not specify it:

The decision of whether or not to believe the authenticity of the
other party in a TLS negotiation is a local matter. However, some
general rules for the decisions are:

- A SMTP client would probably only want to authenticate an SMTP
server whose server certificate has a domain name that is the
domain name that the client thought it was connecting to.

However in the case of Postfix there’s also the matter of connection to services like an ldap server to check things. In that case it’ll also by default happily connect to an ldaps service with a self signed, expired certificate.
> What can we get from the moon

Similar to what we can get from the Earth (The mineral composition of the two bodies is similar), with the key difference being that terrestrial construction sites don't turn undifferentiated piles of rocks into buildings, doors, windows, elevators, and roadways.

There's a colossal supply chain that turns those piles of rocks into usable building materials. We're likely to see moon roads sometime after we get flying cars, and economically viable fusion energy.
It's not at all surprising that the corporate media has failed on this aspect of the story, they're the ones who hyped this guy to the moon, after all. Most of the so-called journalists are just stenographers for the rich and powerful-- just look at their abysmal reporting on Ukraine.
I wish that before working on this they had fixed the long-standing bug where Apple Music playback on the Apple TV 4K (and possibly other versions) disables the screensaver, making it impossible to use on any OLED TV without risking burn-in.
Yes. Once you get the hang of it, you will figure out where the dangers are and how to avoid them, and you can have a safe and prosperous fortress for ages. And without any cheating or exploits.

The great thing about DF is that after the initial difficulty of figuring out the complex interactions, it is actually an easy game in many respects. If you look at the ratio of the amount of work you have to dedicate for necessities in comparison to the total work your fortress is capable of producing, well this ratio is actually the lowest for any city builder I am aware of.

Even if your fortress reaches 200 dwarves (the usual maximum), you can still feed it with 2-3 farmers, 1-2 cooks and 1-2 brewers once you get them all experienced. You can have one experienced dwarf working on trade goods that will produce enough wealth to get you anything you wish to buy from the caravans. One clothier can make all the clothes your fortress needs.

You do not have to fight invaders or monsters if you really do not want to. There is a way to seal off your fortress and make it impenetrable ... and then you just wait for the invaders to leave. But it is not that difficult to create a well armed, armored and trained military to head off any invading force.

There is a complex stress system, but really it is not that difficult to keep your dwarves happy and free of stress.

So once you have figured out all the possible pitfalls and how to avoid them you end up with this fortress that has massive amounts of spare production capacity.

So you start doing fun stuff: building megaprojects, or trying to make the most beautiful and expensive objects and pampering your dwarves with every possible luxury, or making a powerful military and seeking out and fighting the monsters, etc.

When they say losing is fun, losing happens in a couple of stages. First, when you are newbie you just kind of hit all the possible pitfalls that the game has for you. Ware-wolves, (or ware-tapirs), vampires, goblins, dwarves in strange moods going mad, goblins, underground monsters, necromancers, ghosts, drunken guests in your tavern, etc.

And then you learn about them and how to deal with them. So then you get to the second stage of losing is fun. This is when you have a safe and prosperous fortress and get kind of bored so you embark on a grand and ambitious project, that turns out a little too ambitious and your entire fortress ends up flooded with lava.

Or you get a military so powerful that you decide in hubris that you can face off any challenge and go to a place where really no mortal dwarf has any business going.

But this second stage of fun losing is entirely optional. You can have a happy and prosperous fortress for as long as you want, once you have figured out the game.

The first generation of Vancouver Special owners were largely families who occupied the entire property. By the late 90s either their kids had moved out and they had space to spare or they sold their homes (at much higher prices!) to families who needed to help pay the mortgage.

BTW the "slightly below grade" situation is helped by Vancouver having lots of hills -- in many cases the front door is at grade even though the average ground level is 18" higher.
