So in your opinion, how should we determine who should have this knowledge?
weeblewobble · 2 years ago
Very carefully

Saying they make it “open source” in the same article where they say they need “350k high end GPUs to build it”. Is the equivalent of saying: ”we offer free nuclear submarine driving lessons”.

I know you don’t need as many resources for inference as for training. But still…

What do you mean “but still…”? It’s a pretty important distinction. Meta does indeed use their massive GPU farms to train models and then release the weights for free and people indeed run inference on prosumer hardware

I must be still confused. The startup employee knows what their strike price was and here Carta was offering to hook them up with a buyer for those shares at price $X (which I presume is/was different than the strike price of the employee).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding? But that doesn't seem like they're sharing cap table data with anyone. They've found a buyer for the employee's shares at some price. Is it implied that they shared the cap table info with that buyer (i.e. the third party investor)?

The information that person X owns Y shares is private cap table info. Carta breached that privacy by using it for lead generation

Can anybody explain the fundamental issue with the original reach out from the Carta employee?

Barring something within the shareholder agreement (between the startup employee and the startup) that bars the employee from selling those shares on Carta's platform, what's the issue?

I think a rough analogy would be:

You’re a startup who keeps a payroll spreadsheet in Google Sheets and the Google recruiting team accesses that data to recruit your employees and decide how much to offer them.

There’s nothing wrong with Google trying to hire your employees, but it’s wrong for them to use your confidential data from another business unit to do so.

Yay, an internet pizza thread. Get ready for:

1) snobby east coasters telling everyone what good pizza is, which is only found at the slice shop in their neighborhood;

2) no true Scotsmen, keepers of the purity of pizza, arriving to tell everyone what isn’t pizza (typically a subset of 1);

3) random people in Midwest locations describing how their favorite pizza has ranch as the base, or is cooked in a deep fryer, or whatever other local innovations/aberrations (sure to be shouted down by 1 and 2).

Vetted always means people with the time, resources and desire to navigate through the vetting process, which makes them biased.

Why are people signing up and wanting to receive MORE censorship and advertising? The internet has become a very strange place.
weeblewobble · 2 years ago
It’s fun and I don’t care about censorship. Also there are no ads (for now)

Generative AI is almost always a service problem. If a model can offer customized art instantly 24/7 for free but the artist says you have to wait 3 months and it’ll cost 500 dollars and I only accept PayPal, then the model’s service is more valuable.

Are these charts simply displaying the gradual decline in children-under-13 walking and riding bicycles?
weeblewobble · 2 years ago
The chart shows child pedestrian deaths went from 1632 to 144. So a tenfold decrease. No idea about the stats on child pedestrianship but I’d be surprised if it was down 10 fold.

kmlevitt · 2 years ago
It's one thing to add stories to a startup website and created the illusion of a couple dozen users instead of just zero. But all these years later Reddit has millions and millions of unique users per month and is still one of the top ten most visited websites in the US and has been for many years, beat out only by google/meta properties and wikipedia etc. You can fake "activity" internally but it's harder to fake stats calculated by independent evaluators.

And if it wasn't, everybody would be doing it. What makes you think reddit would have an advantage in doing that over anyone else?

weeblewobble · 2 years ago
It’s also facially absurd to anyone uses Reddit beyond scrolling the front page.

Some malicious actor is fabricating 100 comments a day about the nitty gritty of the New York Times crossword?
