Why would someone in their right mind ever buy a Nintendo product?
This is a gaming console, so for games obviously?

RankPic (https://www.rankpic.info) is an app to help users crowdsource their best photo.
I've been building over the past 3 years & just recently monetized and crossed the $500/m mark through a Pro subscription. It's grown into a lovely community of people who help each other pick their best pictures for dating apps, professional photos etc.
I've seen some pretty fun novel use cases, such as (multiple!) people using it to pick out glasses, wedding invites & so on

How does an app like this work in the beginning when you have no/few users? Were you ranking images yourself or hire people to it?

They should sell their database of correct answers to one of the AI companies. They have college-level, human-verified authoritative answers to common questions. I'm sure somebody is willing to pay for that kind of training data.
I can't image it is worth much for training. A lot of student submissions are going to be incorrect bull or only worth partial credit at best.

save yourself some time and just write your resume in a google doc and export it to whatever format you want

It checks out, sales/consulting folks are pretty infamous for their tendency to abuse metrics. The metric here is npm downloads and Github stars.
The strategy does mean that he's _technically_ not inaccurate in claiming this on his LinkedIn -

I encountered this type a lot in college consulting groups, it's a little funny seeing one make their way to the OSS community.

This dude is counting each one as a project hahaha

Do these people type all lowercase on purpose? Is it a power move/status thing?
I'd have to go out of my way to type like that, on mobile or at a workstation.
I do it sometimes when I don't feel like using my pinkies to hit shift. This happens more often on laptops where the keys are flat.
TENTATIVE AGREEMENT (9/25/2023)
Regulate use of artificial intelligence on MBA- covered projects: AI-generated written material is not considered literary material, source material or assigned material under the MBA.
AI is not a writer under the MBA.
Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services.
Company must disclose to writer if any material given to writer has been generated by AI or incorporates AI-generated material.
Guild reserves right to assert that exploitation of writers’ material to train AI is prohibited by MBA or other law.
----------------------------
Notably, the demand "MBA-covered material can’t be used to train AI" appears not to be part of the tentative agreement.
> Writer can elect to use AI when performing writing services, if Company consents and provided writer follows applicable company policies. Company cannot require writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services.
Seems like a loophole: a company could increase the workload to the point GPT tools are needed and claim a writer is not performing (when compared to a writer that does use GPT).

Just use android if you care about things being open. Apple products are good because of the walled garden. Most people just want things to work out of the box, not to tinker with options.
