  • Google made their CEO of advertising into the CEO of search. Unsurprisingly, it sucks now.

  • Peope don't usually compare OpenAI with Dropbox, but Dropbox isn't particularly great with the free-to-paid converion rating. 2.6% is pretty bad, but they STILL manage to make money because what they do is pretty cheap on a per-user basis. They just host data, and most of that data isn't really used much. Also, I don't know if Dropbox is "that" profitable. All I could find is that their revenue exceeds their operating costs, but I don't know if that covers R&D or marketing, which they probably spend a LOT of money on.

    Comparisons with YouTube and Spotify get thrown around a lot more, which convert around 5% and a whoppingly insane 36%, compared to OpenAI's measly 1%. And both YouTube and Spotify actually make a LOT of money on their "free" users, via ads. OpenAI has no monetisation beyond subscribers, and they're very bad at getting people to pay for their stuff.

  • What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers?

    Dropbox is nice enough to list it.

    They have 700m users, and 18m of them pay for the service, so about double of OpenAI. Completely unlike OpenAI, however, they make quite a bit of profit, having a revenue of 2.55b and 1.63b in operating costs. OpenAI subscribers can't even cover their own cost of inference.

  • Imagine having 79 unpaid users for every subscriber. Most companies would die from embarrassment.

  • Sure, but you don't go there as a punishment from god for a lack of belief, you go there because you did shitty things.

  • Vantablack is applied via spraying it on at some 200 degrees C, then putting the object in a vacuum to let the nanotubes align.

    Its not really a paint.

  • Do you prefer this not-so-great paper armor, or would you rather have literally nothing?

  • I wonder if this is what it felt like for the first people who thought "you know what, instead of this horse carrying my spare food and spears, I bet I could sit on it DURING the fight!"

  • It's basically a super fuzzy subject that changes as you want, and in so far as its useful it's not new, and the parts that are new aren't useful. Also, the guy who coined the term is a nutcase.

  • All hybrid seeds basically only work for one generation, because basic genetics.

    Terminator Seedsare about 25 years old now, and aren't actually in use anywhere.

  • If you first you don't succeed, do literally the same thing again and hope you don't get your ass kicked in basically the same way because you fucked up in exactly the same way

  • What the hell does this mean? Can only Europeans delete their Google accounts?

    It means you can cancel your account outside of Europe, but they're under no obligation to actually delete your data.

  • Where is the left pic from?

  • That's impressive!

    Even Russia would probably have netting and sonar bouys in place around their own major naval base. It seems extremely unlikely that Russia wouldn't take those super basic measures, which means this drone was stealthy enough to avoid sonar systems AND able to Dodge Submarine/torpedo netting while inside a shallow port.

  • A level 1 diagnostic is basically

    • turn it off.
    • turn it on.
    • see if problem persists.

  • The problem is that "therapy" is so incredibly broad and most unprotected.

    My cat definitely isn't a psychiatrist, but as of 12 seconds ago she is a fully licensed therapist. Kindly fork over 8000 bucks in exchange for her bumping her forehead against your shin.

  • Seperator meat has basically lost all of the properties of meat in term of flavour or texture, so why even bother with using dead animal at that point?

    Also, whenever I eat real meat, my bowels love reminding me the next night.

  • Possible explanation: you love complicated diets, not talking to your partner for hours most days of the week and you simply adore clothes shopping without anything fitting because women aren't allowed to have shoulders and lats.
