@badlogicgames @deepfates why do you have sympathy though for a bunch of chemical reactions? it's just atoms doing what the math of physics demands

i give you that in the movies/shows there's that element there as well for sure.
but i'm afraid given my background in ml, i will likely never few a machine learning model as anything other than what it is on a "physical" level, no matter how "human" it appears to me.
i've seen too many actual humans being mistreated without anyone giving a shit or speaking up for them, to give a bunch of matrices the same sympathy just because they can interpolate between texts found on the internet convincingly.

i had a cto once, gaming industry, ca. 2010ish. i was just a humble tech lead.
he'd cite us into the meeting room to "tackle large asset sizes in mobile app bundles once and for all". he literally proposed base64. he called it asszip (i have witnesses).
this is what it feels like seeing all the posts from former engineers turned VCs now getting clanker induced ai psychosis.

@EliotHiggins It's a clever manipulation technique. By creating this ridiculous picture they are tricking anti-russia accounts into propagating it, thus spreading it outside their regular reach. Subconsciously it repeats the message that Zelensky is anti-God.
English
Pretty incredible Zelensky can leave his hand on Rishi Sunak's shoulder while also taking a photo of him from the across the room.
MFA Russia 🇷🇺@mfa_russia
A picture worth a thousand words: "There is no God", says the tattoo. And indeed, for the unholy Kiev regime, neo-Nazis & their warmongering Western sponsors, nothing is sacred. Hence, the PR stunts on the bones, persecution of Orthodox Christians & murders of journalists, etc

You die when you run out of ideas or money, whichever happens first.
The key aspect in between is learning and VCs best bet is in the teams ability to experiment and learn fast.
Poker is a good analogy. You want to see many hands.
English
This unfortunately is wrong. It confuses the investor's experiment within a single round with the actual startup.
Startups must maximize across as many experiments as possible. The difference is fundamental and confusing it can kill startups. paulgraham.com/die.html

Forever on repeat 🔁 ___ 'A startup is not a company: it's an experiment to see if a company deserves to exist. Until product/market fit, the speed of hypothesis testing trumps everything. Startups die when they spend faster than they learn.' - @yanda

@clehene You ask for the impossible, there is no simple term explanation of complex numbers. All who try end up with an hour long exposition at a minimum. acko.net/blog/how-to-fo…

IDK - as a computer scientist, I like it but, as a regular user, this doesn’t blow my mind

The striking thing about the reaction to ChatGPT is not just the number of people who are blown away by it, but who they are. These are not people who get excited by every shiny new thing. Clearly something big is happening.

@izakaminska My mistake. You're right, I was thinking about bank money creation, but I got side-tracked. So it only applies to $, not GLD
English
@izakaminska Otherwise you just have "paper" BTC, which will not be accepted by other parties
English
@izakaminska If I have 1000 BTC deposits, I can only lend 1000 BTC, and then I'm left with 0 BTC as capital. This if u take delivery of BTC
English
@izakaminska Unlike $/GLD, you will only be able to lend exactly as many BTC units that u have in ur deposits, and they will be gone from u
English
@izakaminska Will you trust someone from Internet to still have the gold collateral when you'll request delivery?
English
@izakaminska Scenario: I receive 10 GoldCoins from the Comex and take physical delivery of the gold. Then I send them to you for payment
English
@izakaminska Yes, but different issue. I use FB because my friends are there, I don't care about the other 100 networks (liquidity)
English
@izakaminska I agree, if you trust the other party to not "spend" the asset multiple times (needs audit). BTC asset doesn't, you receive it
English
@izakaminska If you transfer anything but the BTC asset your are liable to collateral double spending (rehypotecation), counterparty can lie
English
@izakaminska Confirming a centralized paper trail (central bank ledger) doesn't need the bitcoin system. You just trust the bank.
English
@izakaminska I don't care if PayPal, Western Union or my bank are profitable. If they go bust, I'll just use another one
