Does polymarket have trial markets? Maybe 12% chance of being a mistrial - oh wait just shot up to 99%; new user called the_judge88 just bet $100K on that?

Read this as a Piece of sh... company. Then I saw response of someone saying they're a POS developer and was like oh I think he means point of sale.

Or that guy is just a really bad programmer.

I worked at a company that developed a niche POS as part of a larger system. It was, by far, the worst part of the code base. Just imagine a bunch of late 90's era Java 1.2 code, complete with a Swing UI, tons of concurrency issues, singleton objects and synchronized blocks all over the place, custom binary protocols...

Both work (:

But the point was it was in a comparble situations without the microservices / k8s / whatever pet tech you want to hate on.

IRGC targeting systems have entered the chat.

I thought for a second this was going to be an archival infographic of the dark web.

What you’re looking for is a research topic, or maybe a better way to put it is your hobby is research… if that makes sense?

So for ideas, sorry that’s going to be whatever floats your boat. You listed a bunch of different things.

But hobby is normally “playing softball” or “guitar”, but it could be “researching next gen PCs”… but that seems more like a PhD lab project.

Am I the only one who was surprised the obvious answer is to map frequencies to notes and basically turn your LED strip into a piano visualization? Then just norm to strip size?

There’s plenty of visual experiments of pianists doing this “rock band” “guitar hero” style visualization of notes.

I get the appetite for frontier models. But why not just invest in Google. Do they really expect the return profile of OpenAI to be vastly different than Google’s Gemini?

I imagine they get a bigger slice of the pie with OpenAI than they do with Google, an extremely mature company who’s had investors buying in for 30 years.

Alphabet’s market cap is $3.5 trillion, compared to OpenAI’s $850 billion reported here.

it's not really investing though. Amazon will provide 50B worth of compute and Nvidia will provide 30B worth of chips etc. Google doesnt need any of those.

The only one that is really investing is SoftBank who is pushing for a faster IPO so they hope to make a profit on that and again Google does not offer that opportunity

Google has little need for more money, so the price will be much higher. OpenAI being a separate entity also means Google's competitors (Microsoft, Amazon) can invest there without looking silly.

It's a little bit shocking that this zipfile is still available hours later.

Could anyone in legal chime in on the legality of now 're-implementing' this type of system inside other products? Or even just having an AI look at the architecture and implement something else?

It would seem given the source code that AI could clone something like this incredibly fast, and not waste it's time using ts as well.

Any Legal GC type folks want to chime in on the legality of examining something like this? Or is it liked tainted goods you don't want to go near?

AI works are not copyrightable so...

there are python ports up on gihthub

I hear a lot of folks ascribing safety to physical human shortages in staffing.

Looking at airport security, it's impossible not to ascribe waste, fraud and abuse if indeed there is a lack of ATC hires causing this. We can go without a greeter at the beginning of the security line, or a pre-screener of boarding passes halfway through the security line and have an extra ATC on duty. If you can't find the extra $ for that you're either blind or we need to charge each passenger $1 more.

The truth is, this sort of situational control shouldn't really be given to a human.

This is exactly the kind of thing a computer should be handling, in the same way we don't have a traffic guard at every intersection. Yes I understand airports are complex. So you have a computer and a human, and they work together.

how do you think it works today? some guy with binoculars?

One of the issues being explored is that although US radar is aged, surface vehicles can be equipped with ASDE-X transponders to be more visible to ATC systems. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/asde-x

The vehicle that crashed into the plane did not have one and thus no automated alert was triggered.

Well, this is going to make insider information a lot more powerful...

You've got 364 days in between the truth, and if you think a company is fudging it's numbers you've got to wait another 365 before anything else comes out.

The proposal is to change to bi-annual. Not annual.

Okay, I mean /2, but you get what I mean.

Personally I think it might be better to be longer term oriented, but audit teams will lose revenue... Or just have a harder time reconciling longer time periods.
