This has to be one of the quickest valuations past a billion. I wonder if they can even effectively make use of the funds in a reasonable enough timeline.

I read that it cost Google ~$190 million to train Gemini, not even including staff salaries. So feels like a billion gives you about 3 "from scratch" comparable training runs.
Your estimate seems way off given Google already had their own compute hardware and staff. And if this company is going straight for AGI there's no way $1 billion is enough.
He's pedantically correcting the poster who said "NASA were able to land humans on the moon 55 years ago". The first moon landing was July 20, 1969, so 54 years and 193 days ago.
To be fair to jaquesm, it looks like nanna's comment used to say '80 years ago' and was edited, so the correction was more significant. See comment by kitd.
That depends on how you're rounding. Human age is always rounded downwards, but with general timeranges, it differs. 193 days is 52.8% of a year (52.7% of a leap year), so you can round that to 55.
Is it much better than the martian? Everyone said this about that book and it frankly sucked. It was probably still true though because for a lot of people it was the only sci fi they read in years?
I'd say they're about even, it has some things I enjoy more and some places I think The Martian was better, they're very similar in how they read though, if you didn't like The Martian you almost certainly won't enjoy Project Hail Mary.
I agree with this 100%. They are very similar in idea -- I can understand why some people might feel some kinda way about Weir pushing out a samey book. I adore both though.
Issue #1 irks me so much. Often I'll find myself having gone through many things in a list opening all in new tabs. Only to check my first tab 5 minutes later and find the same page reloaded.
Yep, I am sorry, I also use tabs this way and I just ran out of time this year. I made the mistake of doing my user testing on a small non tech crowd who doesn't do that so I just missed it :(
I have a raspberry pi gathering Reddit comments with an Amazon link in them every hour, then exposing them on Shop By Sub categorized by subreddit, sorted by upvotes.
Same with OP I put my Amazon referral link in there.
It's been decently well-received by Reddit, but I have a hard time getting recurring users. It seems like they just forget about it by the time they need a Reddit recommendation again.
Your site has a lot more subreddits than OPs. Wonder how you did that given there are literally millions(maybe even billions) of comments on popular subreddits. As for getting recurring users you can ask interested users to join a mailing list, you don't seem to have that on your site.
I've just been using a combination of the Reddit API and PushShift, warehousing data in such a way where it makes sense for Shop By Sub since Sept 2020.
Using the PushShift API, I started backwards in time and searched for a bunch of different regexes I thought were important, slowly creeping my way towards the present.
Using the Reddit API, I wrote a script to do a deep dive into specific subreddits, so I could index more popular ones first.
It's mostly just patience to get the amount of data I've got :) (and PushShift can't be overstated, it's very useful).
A mailing list isn't a bad idea. I'll have to figure out a way where the user can see a sign up box, but have it not be intrusive. I've been thinking of adding infinite scrolling to the most recents on the homepage, too, just for folks who are curious as to what weird things Reddit is talking about
My dog loves his for security; we always leave it open and whenever he feels stressed out he'll go in there for a bit to recharge. We have a blanket over the top and sides with the crate under the stairs so it feels like a cave to him!
