Yes, your examples make sense in their own context, but are not relevant to the case of scraping publicly available data.

In short, who's getting put out of business for redisplay or derived data uses of publicly available data?

Who's getting bankrupted by legal fees over scraping these days--which has time and time again be declared not illegal.

Additionally, the CFO position at Tesla has had noticeably high turnover the years.

> a service exposes some capability without authentication, ergo you're authorized to use it

How is this different from scraping publicly available websites? i.e. why would you get in trouble for one, but not the other?

except that person(s) you gave and received the cash from know who you are.

> Terms of service for various companies and other long and boring documents.

OK, fine. Do you have a working example of this? e.g. he's a contract, and please find me the unfavorable and / or non-standard terms. People have tried this before with no success, and it would be great if someone finally made some headway here. Even more points if the GPT things find onerous terms, but says, "hey don't worry about this non-compete bit, it's not enforceable."

Please don't give the marketing team any crazy ideas. ESG + AI = Aladdin!

> Salesforce will print money for a few more years until someone makes a less awful CRM solution and just crushes their business.

This statement undervalues the lock-in Salesforce has. One should probably make migrate-from-Salesforce tool and sell to all the new VC funded CRM shops. You could be selling shovels during a gold rush.

> This floored me. One because in my mid Atlantic area nearly every house has a heat pump. When house shopping many years ago we never saw a listing that didn't have one.

Is this really possible? Is every house in this area less than 20 years old, or occupied by a well-heeled and environmentally conscious homeowner?

> but it doesn’t seem to be good at extrapolation.

This is true to varying degrees for every statistical model ever.

I agree, it's impressive. But still not at the level of useful. For example, I would never use any of these generative art images in company ads or marketing materials. They're not in the uncanny valley, but closer to that than something one would commission from a designer.

We use other signals as well: time of day, ip address, new cookie logs out old cookie. At the end of day we are dealing in probabilities, but we can definitely find the most aggressive sharers.

This is beyond crazy. I can't image even trying to be a farmer without spending a good portion of my time repairing my tools, fences, etc.

We use web fingerprinting and adjacent methods to crack down on ID sharing for our SaaS that charges (per person). I make no apologies for this practice.

I'm reminded of the Chris Rock joke about Lululemon and their $100 no-hate yoga pants. But given that price they actually hate poor people.

The Ghost Map, by the author, is one of the best popular science books I've ever read.

It was quite satisfying to see someone solve an epidemic, rather than make things worse than if we had done nothing at all.

Janet Yellen doesn't seem to appreciate or care about the incentives she and leadership have set up by choosing to make all SVB depositors whole, but not committing to do so for all banks.

I agree that it's a reasonable approximation to say the Republicans are the bad guys, but that in no way makes it true that the Democrats are the good guys. In fact, the more odious the R's behave the worse the D's can do say and still say, "well, at least we're not them.".

I guess, but you can grep JSONL just like you can a regular log file. As such, you don't need any sophisticated tools as discussed in this article.

Anyone who's generating multi-GB JSON files on purpose has some explaining to do.

I hear you what you are saying, but the counter argument remains: The only way you can get ESPN is purchase ESPN (plus the rest of basic cable). For the most part, you can buy basic cable over the top (sans ESPN). So given the state of play, it seems the inelastic demand for ESPN and its one purchase venue is the subsidizer.

Really? I've always felt it was the ESPN viewer subsidizing the rest of the cable universe. ESPN is basically the only premium service you can't go over the top on. However, Iger says he's considering it.

So tell me Johnny, why did you leave Amazon?

My boss told me to go back to office, and I said no f'ing way--fire me! And they did.

Probably not a great conversation to have on your next interview.

> We’ve included diagrams, illustrations, challenges, and over 600 new interactive examples.

600! It's hard for the competition to keep up with that.

They were probably under a lot of pressure to start making some progress on this as soon as possible. Fast resolution is a strong indicator of strong financial markets. Goldman is just more nimble than the competition.

in the same way repealing Glass Steagall did not make sense.

Without increasing student to teacher ratios, this problem is effectively unsolvable. It's Baumol's cost disease writ large.

I guess we know who was buying all the 1% yielding 10Y notes now.

but not really too much. t-bills settle t1. i.e. you can get all your money into cash in 24 hours.

> good old regular banks doing what they do best: making customers deposits disappear.

One of the more inane comments I've read here.
