Does this type of ray tracing book exist? It’s something never learned about and would love to know what courses or books others have found valuable

“They sent a few emails soliciting donations” isn’t exactly a horror story in my experience. Seems hardly worth mentioning!

Everyone thinks they have “a bias towards reality”. I have yet to see this actually be true!

Everyone has biases, whether conscious or unconscious, and trying to claim otherwise is a massive red flag on its own IMO.

Are these “millions of people” in the room with us now?

Yeah isn’t this like the number one lesson for startups? People will say lots of things when there’s no money or reputations on the line.

Yeah 17 lessons combining for 1 hour of content kinda makes this seem like more of an email collector than an in depth course.

This guy must have some strong connections to get this sort of coverage out of an AI wrapper + a few gimmicky twitter posts

The primary cost in this case is raw storage and bandwidth. What is AI doing to reduce that cost? Also what source confirms that “processing audio” is 5x cheaper because of AI? Seems like a dubious claim.

That’s a different thing than building “impressive tech” imo. And a far cry from what would qualify someone as one of society’s “future titans”.

I think a small airport/airfield in one of the most expensive areas of the country is a bit of an exceptional case. In most places ATC employees make pretty competitive/comfortable wages, so I’m not sure this is the only factor.

I also live here but that doesn’t give me crystal ball-like insight into what every single fed and fed-adjacent employee is feeling. It’s a fairly big city! Do you work in the federal space? I have acquaintances who do and their mood doesn’t quite match the hysteria you see on e.g. the regional subreddits.

If you get the paid version then customization is an option, just FYI. Not sure when this was introduced but it’s been working well for me.

How much time is this saving you? I’m not seeing how this is worth a recurring subscription cost. Does this do more than simple bash script would?

Saw an interesting case of this type of attack in the CounterStrike community earlier this week.

Someone setup a fake tournament website that asked the user to login with their Steam account. Then it launched what looked like a new browser window with the Steam login page, but was actually just a popover that had been elaborately styled, with window decorations and all.
