Doesn't really make sense though because only two of "FAANG" actually get significant of their revenue from advertising?

Metaverse was a flop maybe, but meta makes something like $1 billion a week from its mobile apps, it'd be crazy to say that is not successful.

The fact that it was so successful, and that zuck picked mobile to be the next big thing before many of his peers and against what managers in the company wanted to do is probably what has made him now overconfident that he can do it again

I don't think thats true. If you'd only ever played Doom, I think you could play, say, counterstrike or half-life and be pretty good at it, and i think Carmack is right that its pretty interesting that this doesn't seem to be the case for ai models

We actually released an app for WP7 and then just as the platform was starting to get traction, they released WP8, made it backwards incompatible and told everyone to rewrite their apps. It killed the platform overnight. Maybe you can get companies to take a chance on a new platform once, but you can't then deprecate every device and app a year later and expect everyone to do the same thing again

Facebook has had foxes in the roof garden in MPK21 for years and they don't seem to cause any problems. Is it a different type of fox?

how do you know the specification is correct? Its turtles all the way down here

markdown can do embedded images with data urls. It works really well, the data gets all appended at the end of the document

Its possible to copy/paste text in at least. Seems to allow a single keystroke, then the text field looses focus and goes into 'shortcut' mode

This is good advice, but I think it is for people who think they are not smart, but are actually just inexperienced. I feel like someone who was actually not smart would have trouble executing on these steps

Oppenheimer wasn't there. This happened in 1946 and he had already resigned many months before

> Why would such a person be in this position?

Such a person will always be in this position, it is the type of personality that thrives in a bureaucratic institution. No amount of fiddling with the process will fix it, you need an alternative form of decision making

Fogbugz just got outcompeted by JIRA imo, and without the cross compiling that allowed it to run on linux (instead of just windows server) it would have been dead long long before.

You can run stable diffusion on a MBP and produce images in under a minute. It's training these models that takes the crazy GPU power - running them is quite reasonable.

Isn't the actual name Marcus Antonius? I wonder why we use the anglicised version for him, but the latin names for most other Romans
