A. Someone wants to feel important, and write a book about it. "Read my linkedin post bout vishing... hire me for your workshop"

B. Someone is trying to highten job security. "You cant get rid of me I am the vishing expert"

BBC radio plays some cool music late at night.

Honestly, I think the future is a combination of geoengineering and carbon reduction policies.

The earlier we realize this the better. Geo-engineering needs a lot of research to minimize risk and find effective/feasible solutions. I don't think we would have the time when we decide it is suddenly too hot and need a solution now. I'm not sure if it is that the populace at large dose not like geoengineering, or if its just a combination of fear of the unknown and a vocal minority of naturalists, but I think it is for the best we start the conversation now so at least many people can warm up to the idea.

Carbon policy can't be the only solution simply because, not every nation is on board with carbon neutral policies, either because of naivete, arrogance, pressure from public and or private interest groups. Even if we we get every nation onboard with carbon neutrality, what is to say they will stay that way on the next N centuries of election cycles?

Well yeah... but the point is not a tech breakthrough, it's that AI is being therapeutically used to cope with the fact they are dying.

I suppose I just think you could churn out ten more articles just as (un)interesting about other uses.

I don't even find this one particularly compelling, it must depend massively on personality. Personally if not indifferent I'd find it depressing to be presented with a fake rendering of what I'm not going to be alive for.

I agree its not super compelling, its like cancer poetry, but I do think it is interesting that people seem to be using it for this purpose.

Nice! I would love to study how people hone in the correct color, and how close people get on the first try.

Do people binary search or scan a range?, how do they prioritize the color channels? etc

This isn't a question pro/against immigration, this is a question of did Tata break existing laws protecting domestic labor.

> If anything, we should change the law to encourage much more high-skill immigration.

I don't think any reasonable person would argue argue against importing highly skilled laborers to increase GDP per capita, that is, to fill a genuine labor shortage that domestic supply cannot fill within a reasonable span of time.

All increases in the number of people doing work and creating things can increase GDP per capita (especially if you count the increase in the income of the person who immigrated, as you should). Inexpensive Indian IT guy makes IT cheaper, which is good for everyone except those who directly compete (and even for them it's not really that bad). This makes it so more things that are complementary to IT can be done. Broad-based benefit that outweighs a narrowly-experienced cost.

> turning it into a training set of images of the character in different poses, shot from different angles.

Something is wrong, it looks like it is just using multiple layers of images/video and cutting back and forth to predetermined combinations of layers...

I would polish the idea a bit more before publishing it or people may think, (quoting your Reddit link) "Looks like stinky doo doo. Don’t quit your day job"

Fair enough that you don't like the videos Eggnog makes. We think you can make fun stuff with what Eggnog is capable of today and will be adding more control over the outputs.

Nah, I think the videos are neat, but I have niche interests in art like datamoshing, algorithmic art and whatever... What I am saying is, if you are trying to pull a Midjourney with video that can be sold as a product (i see you are YC W24), wait a little while and make it more appealing before going public so people get the right idea about your product, and come back to it for more. Right now it seems like it is a little gimmicky.

> We think you can make fun stuff ...

To be brutally honest, don't say "We think you can". It does not matter if you think people will like it. Do people like it? If the average Joe sits down and plays a with the model, will they have a good time?

I'm not trying to be abrasive or rude here, just honest.

Sure, tell that to all the people who were bankrupted because of him.

IIRC he must serve 85% of his sentence

First Step Act changed this and it could technically be 50% (12.5 years) although I don't personally think it will be in SBF's case.

See this guys comment...

and a million others correcting the "85%" meme that HN parrots incessantly (not sure why anyone would expect programmers to be experts on federal incarceration nuances)

Wow, that isn't too long for billions in fraud. Thanks for the update.

> Also, frankly, infants are hard.

Honestly, they are as difficult as you want them to be. Some parents stress way to much about them hurting themselves in the process.

If you take everything in moderation, they are not that bad at all. There will be a few bad days ofc, but at large my kids are the best thing that happened to me, and I have two at the same age.
