And they don't spend money, they take debt against their existing assets to fund projects and investments. So long as they can service the loans across economic downturns, they don't particularly have to feel the effects of a recession, outside of the mentioned opportunities to buy the market at a discount.


The issue with a model like this (fixed small percentage) is that your biggest clients are the most incentivized to move away.

At scale, OpenRouter will instead get you the lower high-volume fees they themselves get from their different providers.


He doesn't have to sell. He can finance the deal with debt backed by his newly risen stock as collateral. Then the debt is used to further inflate the price of the stock.

The flywheel metaphor is pretty apt.


I'm a senior designer who often contributes to front-end code when it's convenient for my client.

Fixing and updating the README when I join a new team and set up their dev environment is always extremely well-received.


If i'm gonna untangle something, i may as-well write some notes. If i'm writing notes on it already, i may as-well refine the grammar a bit and update the docs. It's really quite small effort compared to the main work of learning the system, so i don't quite get why so few people do it.


The article gives a PDF document as an example, but depending on how links are opened and stored for Notion agents, threat actors could serve a different web page depending on the crawler/browser agent.

That means any industry-known documentation that seems good for bookmarking can be a good target.


The only way to see the text is in the movement. The pattern across any single frame is entirely random noise.


> The pattern across any single frame is entirely random noise.

This is untrue in at least one sense. The patterning within the animated letters cycles. It is generated either by evaluating a periodic function or by reading from a file using a periodic offset.


Can't it be continuous random noise added at the top and then moved down each frame.

Roughly you create another full size rect. On each frame add a random pixel on row 1 and shift everything down.

Make that rest a layer below the top one which has Hello cut out as transparent.

In any single frame the result is random noise.


You could do that, but that's not what the page is doing.

You don't even need to maintain the approach of having the pattern within the text move downwards over time. You could redraw it every frame with random data, as if it was television static. It would still be easy to read, as long as the background stayed fixed.


They didn't mean random noise as in certifiably truly random in a cryptographic sense... nobody cares about that for a silly demo.

Random noise as in a normal non-tech human cannot see anything discernable to them at all, without the motion component.


Hah, late reply, but as a generative artist, the True Randomness in Computing rabbit hole has no perceivable bottom.

As you said, I was _not_ alluding to more than being perceivably random/noisy.


That tracks. Being in flow on a task you're confident about is a low arousal, satisfying state.

Monitoring AI output on any task is high arousal, low satisfaction, unless you're constantly prompting for quick wins.


The post ends up somewhat of a caricature about how founders turn everything around them into something about them.


A 50% occurence of systemic improvements across various cancer types is pretty great.

If it has only minor side effects when treating agressive cancers, it could be a huge quality of life improvement for patients compared to other treatment options.


Oh man, sorry for your loss. Sounds like she was lucky to have you as well.
