This prompt actually works pretty well. I suspect that because you added a step requiring the model to list out what it needs to draw first, it has a much easier time creating a reasonable SVG. https://chat.openai.com/share/be9cea50-d00d-4b05-ab54-b64619...

Is anyone else troubled by how they're trying to drive traffic away from the site on which the disqus comments are embedded? It doesn't look like there is any way to disable this functionality.

SproutVideo founder here. We actually introduced an import tool for DailyMotion Cloud users to easily import their videos into a SproutVideo account. DailyMotion Cloud was a product of DailyMotion. DailyMotion Cloud is shutting down on April 12th. DailyMotion has offered to migrate their users to their main platform but that puts several serious restrictions on content such as:

  *  Distribution of your video catalog on Dailymotion.com
  *  Monetization of your video catalog
  *  Compliance with our content moderation rules

For many users, this is simply not a viable solution. SproutVideo offers a very comparable platform and we've already had several former DailyMotion Cloud users import their content. Companies can have very large video libraries and migrating to a new video hosting platform can be a lot of work. To that end, we created a tool that will allow former DailyMotion Cloud users automatically import their libraries into a SproutVideo account. Hopefully that clears things up a bit! http://sproutvideo.com/dailymotion

Is this just a API front end for oEmebd?

I think the usefulness of a SSG really depends on your goals. If your goal is simply to publish a blog, perhaps a SSG is not the right solution for you. SSGs are interesting because they have zero external dependences. I can just deploy my blog to Amazon S3, use CloudFront if I so choose, and never have to worry about scalability or how much traffic my blog can handle. To me, that is more important than the perceived friction that it takes to get a post online.

Although Alibaba is a huge company that does a ton of different things, I feel like this article went out of the way to avoid mentioning that companies like Google and Amazon (as well as Microsoft and Apple to a lesser extent) come close to checking all of these boxes. The other thing to point out is that Alibaba owns stakes in many of these companies and doesn't really own them outright.

As others have already pointed out how Google compares, take Amazon for instance:

Online Payments - Amazon Payments

Cloud Services - Amazon Web Services

Mobile Apps - Amazon AppStore

Mobile OS - Amazon FireOS

Maps and Navigation - Amazon Maps API

Retail Outlets - N/A

Group Buying - Amazon Local

Cloud Storage - Amazon CloudDrive / Amazon S3

Mobile Messaging - N/A

Car Service, Ride Sharing - N/A

C2C e-commerice - Amazon Services/Amazon WebStore (not quite the same, but close)

Online Travel Booking - N/A

B2C e-commerce - Amazon.com

E-Learning - http://www.tenmarks.com/ (owned by Amazon)

Microblogging - N/A

Music Streaming - Amazon Cloud Player

Streaming Video - Amazon Prime Instant Streaming

Money-market funds - N/A

12/18 isn't bad.

You can buy Game Of Thrones on Amazon. It's just not available for streaming through Amazon Prime. http://www.amazon.com/Winter-Is-Coming-HD/dp/B007BVMVDU

I dealt with a somewhat similar situation a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4291454

I issued a DMCA takedown notice to their host and it was taken care of in a couple of days. I suggest doing the same.

If chess can make it to the front page with a vague title, why not darts?

Seems kind of similar to Max, from Netflix themselves: http://blog.netflix.com/2013/06/let-max-be-your-netflix-guid...

Although I really only watch on my TV and not my computer, I like the concept and it seems well implemented. Cracking the nut of figuring out what to watch is a tough one, that's for sure. Good luck!

Is this blog also running on Meteor? I can't get it to load so that's not instilling confidence. Maybe it's their host, https://modulus.io/ that's having problems?
