I think you should consider the option that your friend got extremely lucky. Finding a SaaS idea that works, generates 6-7 figures in the 1st year, can be run solo, doesn't put high demands.and pressure (billing, uptime, legal) on that solo founder sounds extremely unlikely. Each of those is like a 1/100 multiplier..
From my tenuous connections, rugby does seem to be a sport that has some popularity among women who want a more physical sport relative to alternatives. (Which I don't mean at all negatively.)

As you also say, a lot of the same brain injury concerns that apply to American football also apply to rugby to at least some degree--probably lower speed/less high impact but a lot less protective gear--and, at least at the high level of the men's sport, it's gotten faster with bigger players.
It's more like communication than high-seas assault.
Pro-business only when it's run by them and their friends. There are plenty of examples from Nazi-Germany and modern day Russia where businesses had their existing owners/management replaced by party members/political insiders.
Indeed. Other controls would have caused a wrestling match over the controls with probably the same outcome.

I believe the best solution is what Airbus implemented after this incident. An alert if there is dual input, and a button for the captain's side to override the other side. No need to wrestle, press the priority button and take over control.

> I have a feeling Google/Alphabet/YouTube aren't investing a lot of money into this, because they know their opponents have almost infinite resource, of free time and dedication.

They aren't investing because its a CLI tool. Its not really a threat.

If it was, like, a "1 click download free music from Youtube!" app that was trending like crazy, Google would focus more on fighting it.

The project is balanced between reasonable accessibility and not drawing too much attention from Google. Its kinda like the AI Wars video game, where you undermine a distracted/disenterested AI without drawing too much of its attention.
It was widely understood prior to the 20th century that the right applied to the people. Here is a long thread with dozens of sources https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1645290263299117056.html. Overwhelming they all agree that military weapons are most protected of all.

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Understanding "the people" here to mean the government is absurd. The government doesn't need to petition itself for redress. Moreover, they could have used the word `government` instead.

The Bill of Rights was added because the anti-federalist were worried that the constitution didn't protect individual liberty enough.
It would be interesting to see some polling. I have friends in Israel who are super involved in protest, and that’s all I hear when I talk to them. But I have also spent a lot of time hitchhiking or cycling in Israel, and that outrage just isn’t shared by most of the ordinary people I meet, whether they be non-religious, Orthodox, Haredim, or Druze, or whether they be a resident of Israel proper or a West Bank settler. I start to wonder if the outraged Israelis are a bit like the hipsters in my own country: loud on social media, nearly insignificant in the real world.

For the time being, realistically it’s cost prohibitive for users to generate slop without expectation for some return, so that’s a current natural mechanism.

As the prices decrease, due to model improvement, best/worst practice guides, and promotion of successful use cases may act as an additional mechanism to prevent such cases.

Realistically though, given that we’re lowering the bar of podcast creation to effectively the level of blog creation there might be an increase in slop content. I think that’s a necessary problem when you lower the barrier, but there will always be proper curation in the aggregator level. I think HM is the perfect example. Internet has made blogging so easy and there is so much slop. But it goes unnoticed given the curation.
Subpoenas can happen extremely quickly though so don't think it's a slow process today. They just need a DA to talk to a judge and get the paperwork approved. I've heard there are judges on call effectively 24/7 ready to approve subpoenas as necessary.
> Folks like Jamie Dimon and Tim Cook are billionaires, but they made that money by being very highly compensated employees of institutions in which their equity interest is negligible.

Tim Cook went to Auburn, with an MBA from Duke.
The country is neither fascist nor a dictatorship.

However, the legal overhaul does curtail the court's ability to assert a more libertarian, liberal agenda. The government is pushing a religious agenda that will change the nature of the country, and that causes significant consternation to the largely secular population that makes up the hi-tech nation.
Agreed. Generalizing the security of modern spacecraft by what university CubeSat teams get up to is like generalizing all of modern cybersecurity based on an anecdote about a one man company that left an SSH server open with the root password set to "12345."

Don't get me wrong, I have the utmost respect for what academic CubeSat teams can pull off with miniscule budgets and resources, but this doesn't reflect what actually happens outside the university context. Modern commercial spacecraft are well-secured, particularly on telecommand. For a look at what the professionals actually do, I suggest people take a look at the CCSDS 350.x series Green Book publications: https://public.ccsds.org/publications/GreenBooks.aspx
So after 7 generations of improving performance by 3-5% a generation nearly all of those gains have been wiped away by a single bug, and other than the newly supported architecture, instruction sets, core count and gains in raw clock speed, there is essentially no compute difference between a 6700k and a 13700k?

Hume is an idealist.

And the idea that there's an "inner experience" which is the object of our knowledge is the premise of idealism.

The objects of our knowledge are the world, directly.

When I open my eyes and see a flower, I see a flower. I don't see my seeing of a flower; nor do I see my inner experience of a flower --- where indeed, is the eye which sees inner experiences? And which eye sees that one?

This premise is the dogma of scepticism. Weighed against everything else it comes out vastly improbable.

When I see a flower, the object of my seeing (and my knowing) is the flower. My knowledge consists in having the experience of the flower, as caused by the flower. Without much scientific knowledge I do not know, indeed, that I am having an experience of a flower.

This talk of "having experiences" is a post-theoretical description of an event which is much more primitive. A dog which sees a flower knows there's a flower in front of it. It knows basically nothing about what kind of experience its having.

The dog succeeds in being oriented to the world as it is; the dog succeeds in knowing. As do we.

Neither of us are oriented towards ourselves. We are not peering inside our heads. Such muddles are the religion of scepticism.

true but there aren't a lot of functioning democracies where those reforms are being pursued by a leader who had to already abdicate his position as PM after being indicted for bribery and fraud, while also still being subject to more trials.

If someone like that starts to question the autonomy of the judiciary democracy isn't the word I'd pick for it. Context does matter

Oh boy, I have quite a lot of thoughts. I'll try and compress them and order by priority:

- The popup on your website persists on every page, on every reload, and it locks scroll. This is terrible UX and should be eliminated. In the future you might consider an A/B test with a popup, but it shouldn't trigger on scroll, rather a time delay.

- Yes, this is an extremely crowded space, and your home page language doesn't differentiate Robofy whatsoever. On the Wordpress page, you claim "the first and only Wordpress AI Chatbot powered by ChatGPT" and that type of language is off-putting; are you prepared to defend that statement?

- Your first three key selling points (KSPs) are 1) Reduce support time & cost by 50%, 2) Customised ChatGPT, and 3) Multi-channel integration. I don't think those are the most compelling ideas.

- You have some really great reviews/testimonials, but they're on the pricing page?? Definitely move those to the home page.

- How well defined is your core target audience? If your first KSP is "reduce support time" are you competing with Zendesk, Intercom, and similar customer support solutions? Is your primary goal to offer support?

- My suggestion is to emphasize "increased engagement & conversion" in some capacity. The KSP on the site could be something like "Increase (leads, sales, signups, etc) by XX%" and then support that with some external sources; eventually you could replace that with case studies.

- A video showing Robofy in use would do extremely well for your target demographics (assuming generally less/non-technical people).

I could go on but I've exceeded my allotted time in writing this reply. I'll send you a bill (just kidding).

Good luck :)

It’s interesting how people grow up and pretend they did not watch some sort of pornography in their teens.

Not by any means do we understand enough about ecosystems to justify the hubris to declare any animal as a net negative effect to the environment.

In western Europe, hunters argue they need to cull deer, for example, to keep the forest in balance. That is only true because a) they make an effort to feed the animals during the winter, helping more to survive than otherwise would, and b) because natural predators have been eradicated in the previous centuries.

Don’t ever trust someone that attempts to justify culling a species for the greater good.

Or because nobody listens to the times we research an "obvious" thing and it is anything but! Remember, disease spreading in polluted water wasn't obvious at one point, and physicians washing their hands before doing surgery was so "unobvious" that what was considered obvious at the time was that a physicians hands are of course clean.

"Common sense" isn't merely a myth, but also often is propaganda, that everything we know is obvious and easily understood by a layman from first principles that you can reason through, rather than having to rely on extremely specialized people to do real tests of things we think we "know" to find out what reality is.

Remember that next time someone wants to push "Common Sense" regulation on anything. Humans are explicitly ANTI-rational creatures, and the ONLY defense against that is to verify everything we can against reality's judgement.

At no point could anyone have just "thought about it harder" to get from aristolean physics to Newtonian physics. Rhetoric cannot provide answers or new information, it can only convince.

Royal Assent

When a Bill has been approved by a majority in the House of Commons and the House of Lords it is formally agreed to by the Crown. This is known as the Royal Assent. This turns a Bill into an Act of Parliament, allowing it to become law in the UK.

What a complete load of garbage. News organizations are asking to be paid for their stolen content.

They are rightfully complaining that tech giants are now attempting to forcefully allow stealing content so long as you’re large enough.

It’s funny, because right now, you’re basically saying that Reddit is correct to forcefully take over subs that are locking down in protest of killing third party apps for the purpose of having better ability to spy on your activity and pump ads.

Same shit dude.

When a liberal government does it = bad

When a sub fights a corporate spy network = good

Funny how that works. Personally, I just enjoy not being a hypocrite.

Library Genesis (and there are multiple LibGen servers now!) has operated for years without the same profit model as Z-Library. In fact, in the e-book piracy scene that goes back well over a decade already, Z-Library’s model is pretty unusual and has always been under a cloud of controversy.

Right, and lot of good insight there.

For some reason, headlines like these always make me think that soccer’s popularity is growing in communities where it hadn’t before. I imagine it is growing, but not at the rate I would incorrectly infer from the headline. Apple seems to be betting on that growth increasing.
Yes, but it was done anonymously. The competitor denied all knowledge of it, but the guy he paid to do the reporting would talk to me through chat every day to gloat about it.

I ended up paying 15000EUR bounty to track the guy down. Found him in Germany. 15 year old kid. Had somebody talk his mother about him. Never had a problem again after that.
There is nothing wrong with a library that limits the number of books people can read per day unless they pay. Libraries in many western countries are customarily free to access, but they don't have to be this way.

In the scenario I described you'll need to consult or maintain such a list anyway.

This'll differ by jurastiction, but in most of Europe you're allowed to deliver unrequested advertisements by post, but you're obligated to stop when asked.

> Some individual exceptions like remember this house and that house is probably utterly impossible.

Most people (even the uneducated, or otherwise considered dumb) can remember and sing along to the lyrics of hundreds of songs, and remember the location of hundreds or even thousands of items kept in their house.

So even if you're delivering to hundreds of addresses you'll quickly start to remember the exceptions, at least that was my experience.
A teenager isn’t going to try to accelerate by turning up the volume on the radio or opening the window but an AI with no training would have to try those kind of things.
They don't, cause the speed at which we have to implement new features means cutting corners. We write backends, none of which are performance-critical. A lot of faster algos that would take too long to implement in C++ get skipped, so in the end it's slower than partner teams' Java code that does similar things, but again it doesn't matter as long as nobody notices the latency.
It's not useful for code, but you can see the difference of approach with NovelAI's homegrown Kayra model, which is set up to handle a mix of text completion and instruct functionality.

There's no 'target' except the assigned 'y'. The compiler would just do

y = CLIP((x+x)+y)

with x and y cast to int64 in the expression or smth like this.

I was just imagining these types. You are most certainly right that it would be pretty involved to get right.

European soccer is 5 hours ahead. By the time I'm settling in for the night, all of the European leagues are over.

Right now, I'm watching a lot of South American and Mexican teams. I have no idea who they are, but they fill a void while I browse on my laptop. MLS can easily fill that prime time/late night void.

> In the case of 447, they were warned about a stall, repeatedly

It's not that simple.

When the aircraft's computer considered the inputs invalid, the stall warning was muted. When they decreased the pitch (would be essential to recover from the stall!) the stall warning sounded.

"The angle of attack had then reached 40°, and the aircraft had descended to 35,000 feet (10,668 m) with the engines running at almost 100% N1 (the rotational speed of the front intake fan, which delivers most of a turbofan engine's thrust). The stall warnings stopped, as all airspeed indications were now considered invalid by the aircraft's computer because of the high angle of attack. The aircraft had its nose above the horizon, but was descending steeply.

Roughly 20 seconds later, at 02:12 UTC, Bonin decreased the aircraft's pitch slightly. Airspeed indications became valid, and the stall warning sounded again; it then sounded intermittently for the remaining duration of the flight, stopping only when the pilots increased the aircraft's nose-up pitch. From there until the end of the flight, the angle of attack never dropped below 35°."[0]
