You can always squeeze tighter. Or find tighter place to apply the effort.

It is a strange choice also because their model aims to be better than others, and obvious choice would be going after filmmaking market, like Veo did. And in presentation they tell about social aspect and scrolling, and how they would limit the scrolling. Are they confused and is it really just three guys working on it.

Author has never ran startup on the internet. For past 15-20 years, if you have competitors you have to bid-buy top ad slot from Google. That’s hundreds or thousands of dollars monthly.

Midjourney don’t do that because they are doing good with new signups without it.


If you zoom in, about one in 20 is tumbling around path randomly, and its description is “Rocket body”. But it’s not on “Debris” layer. I wonder why it doesn’t qualify for debris if it looks likely uncontrollable.

Because of Goldwater thing people don’t discuss it, but really there should be a legislation for mandatory mental evaluation for people in positions of power.

Bus drivers and airline pilots get mental evaluations, and they are only responsible for two hundred people at a time. Yet person responsible for whole country can have any mental illness.

No, the reason people don’t discuss this is that the next question is “so you have a mandatory evaluateion, what are the consequences, and who selects the evaluator?” And you very quickly realize that any proposal is either:

(a) adding nothing substantive that isn't already covered by existing provisions allowing for removing people for incapacity, or

(b) creating a new and unaccountable seat of power, or

(c) designing a replacement (which may be an improvement!) for the processes discussed in (a) to which the evaluation mandate is a jumping off point that turns out to be superfluous.

Also, you realize that to effect anything with any consequences for the Presidency and some other offices, legislation doesn’t work, you need a Constitutional Amendment.


YouTube’s “Download” is not really a download, it’s actually “cache offline” within YouTube app.

Lmao, people really should stop giving them money.

So, it will be two users now!


Also there’s ANYTYPE

Really wanted to go for this, as it's European, but they don't have good calendar support...

It is unfair to humans to make text input (level 3) case sensitive when puzzle is always showing in caps. If robot recognizes characters, it becomes easier for robot to enter correct text than human.

I thought the draw-a-circle level was even more solidly in the class of much, much easier for a bot than a human. Perhaps in rejects if you draw a circle that scores 100%.

Also, did people manage to draw a circle that passed without cheating in some way?


I gave up on this level, ugh.

It's bad ux to make it case sensitive

I suspect that he, as an insider is able to prompt and configure so that he gets good usable results every time, and when he describes that, it sounds so easy and obviously you should do it too.
