I wouldn't.

But I think that's because open-source software development companies are the exception rather than the norm. No one expects you to open-source your software and then hope someone hires you for your services or buys one of your t-shirts. It's still the norm in our industry to write something and sell copies of it.

Plus, software pays more. Software developers generally don't get squeezed. Musicians, on the other hand, never seem to catch a break.

EDIT: Or, even better, it's the norm to sell a monthly right to use what we wrote.

Also, freemium games have business models very similar to music. Yeah, there are some successful freemium games out there, but in general it's pretty brutal and depressing.

Assume they'll be a Visual Studio 2019 TikTok Xamarin project template.
A few years ago 15 companies, among which Qualcomm, Apple, Intel, Nvidia, Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei and more had an architecture license which is perpetual so that probably puts them all on safe ground. I'm sure that the specific licensing terms can vary but I doubt someone like Qualcomm didn't take any precautions for exactly such eventuality given how much they rely on being able to ship new ARM based SoCs. They probably gave up on designing custom cores because of the effort/costs involved and the fact that 99% of the Android market doesn't really require it. But they'd still have to ship ARM cores, standard or not.

Apple is probably the safest of the bunch given how they helped build ARM.

ARM announced it would cut ties with Huawei after the US ban but reconsidered the decision less than half a year later so I assume that the architecture license is either usually iron clad or simply too valuable to both sides to give up.

> GPUs are also much simpler chips in comparison to CPUs

Funny you say that. I've never heard a CPU architect coming to the GPU world and say "Gosh, how simple is this!".

I invite you to look at a GPU ISA and see for yourself, and that is only the visible programming interface.
When I do that that I get political adverts mixed in with meal-kits, diets (I'm not sure what they're trying to sell), and exercise equipment. It's pretty awful and I'm waiting down the seconds to hit skip. It's like going back in time to pop-ups and animated horrors of the 90s and early 00s but with vlog-style ads instead--I guess this style tests well, they all look the same to me.

Instagram does a great job of personalizing ads to both products and the type of companies I like. I don't mind seeing these kinds of ads at all. I'm happy (in this case) for them to track me because it's much much, better than the alternative.

Don't believe him. The php jit us entirely different from Lua hit, other than using dynasm. Even raku is using dynasm.

The PHP jit is actually much easier to understand. With SSA for all tiers, CFG, but not that much type speculation at all. The advantage of php, Perl, Ruby over JS is that objects don't vary that much, methods are not overridden that much, and arrays and hashes are much easier.
The php jit is at least 10x easier and smaller than JSC. Also C, not C++.
>>> BriansClub earned close to $104 million in gross revenue from 2015 to early 2019, and listed over 19 million unique card numbers for sale.

100M for selling card numbers - it actually defrauding just selling card numbers ... holy cow.
Yeah, and the offset is directly causing that much less of the gas to be emitted into the atmosphere by someone else. CO2 is fungible. Rather than eliminating it from the hardest to eliminate use cases first (planes), it makes sense to tackle the easiest use cases first (power generation, trains, and road vehicles). Your dollar goes a lot farther there.
My ex and first love cheated on me in the worst possible way. I'm certain I've been through a kind of grief that few people will ever experience as a result. But I just got over it. I forgave her in the sense that I understand what women are like now. She can't affect me any more. I've become so much stronger. I'm Stoic now. Time is the great healer as always. Therapy and all the rest of it are a massive swindle for the instant gratification age.
Oh no, look what have you done WeWork. Who would have thought that rich kids burning VC money, who themselves were running elaborate ponzi scheme would end-up as a threat to the democracy of computing.

Ofcourse U.S. Govt. wouldn't have problems with this unlike Broadcom-Qualcomm deal, on the contrary this will put American semiconductor industry in a more dominant position.

train a model that guesses whether some text was GPT-3 generated or human made - select samples that look the most human like.

What you said is essentially: "Train a better GPT model". Humans have trouble distinguishing between (some of) GPT-3 and human writing. The only way to build a classifier that can do this is to build a model that is better than GPT-3 at understanding text. It would need to have features currently absent in GPT-3, such as common sense and understanding the world (e.g. causality, physics, psychology, history, etc). If what you say could be done, GPT-3 would have been designed as a GAN.
There's a reason people who believe in "Cancel Culture" want to talk about silencing/"cancel culture" rather than the ideas that resulted in them being "cancelled".

Edit: In this case, the author makes this claim:

>> ... promotes the scientifically inaccurate claims that biological sex exists on a continuous “spectrum,” that notions of male and female may be mere social constructs, and that one’s sex may be determined by self-declared “identity” instead of reproductive anatomy.

Which is definitely not a claim he can make so authoritatively.

Often, it's a way to draw a veil in front of, e.g., racist/sexist/homophobic commentary. Or it's people whose voices still carry tremendous power facing pushback. (E.g. JK Rowling getting told off for being a TERF.)
Just a thought but if big tech that controls entire markets is bad now (apparently some law makers seem to think so), maybe don’t let this happen.
I get your point, but I don't get how it diverges from what was described in the article. Based on what you wrote, it looks to me that you are actually very advanced in the process of forgiveness: telling your story, expressing your feelings, seeing your childhood through the eyes of yourself as an adult, focusing on your well-being in the present and in the future.

> they keep digging up the past and weaponizing your own failures against you in everyday fucking conversation.

I know that. You have no idea how much your post hits home. This kind of behaviour is exactly what I try not to replicate, because it is the best way to dig one's own grave. There is nothing good which can come out of it.

I think you have an issue with the word "forgiveness", and maybe it is not the right word. What I understand from its use in the article is being able to let go the hatred (way stronger than anger), and being able to focus on yourself in order to improve your well-being and to bring positivity into your present and future life.

I never really understood the panic over TikTok. Is the fear about security, or is the fear that China might actually have successful social media product in the US?
Close... you get what the majority votes for. Parent comment is that tech workers (minority of population) fund a disproportionate share of the budget and are being oppressed by the majority voting for higher income taxes (to the extent the next election does not result in throwing current politicians out for raising taxes).

Simplest approach to mailing list management for a blog?
I've restarted a personal blog (https://jamesgill.net). No niche, no target audience--yet. Just a lot of writing to head that direction.

I'd like to set up a simple mailing list and signup. I'm familiar with big players like ConvertKit, MailChimp, etc. What's the simplest list management choice for my situation that leaves me with options for future adjustment/change?
There isn't a great single resource I can point to, but try the twitter account Yusha Kobo[0], which is a keyboard shop in Tokyo. Not just their posts, but if you look at the feeds or likes of people they retweet, you should be able to find a bunch of examples.

I have one provided as part of my benefits package.

The right coach matters. I work well with mine, but I've had other experiences that were not very productive. It's a service, if you don't get value out of the first one it's worth trying someone else before you write the whole thing off.

My coach doesn't specialize in my technical field, but they have been working as a professional coach for a very long time. Career wise, they have seen lots of different scenarios that I have only experienced personally once or twice. There is value in that. I don't work with them to improve my technical skills (my coach is not a mentor!), I work with them to meet my professional development and career goals.

A coach keeps me accountable to my goals, they provide structure and feedback to my activities, and they are a forcing function for me to prioritize time for my own personal strategic planning.

Ideally, you can find a coach and/or a mentor who is in your industry, but I'd caution that coaching and mentoring are (two different) skills, and just because someone is a successful executive doesn't mean they are a good coach or mentor. Also, depending on the size of your field, you may not want to have these discussions with someone who is a professional peer, or even a potential supervisor.

Finally, you get out what you put in. The best coach in the world is only a facilitator. If you don't take your career seriously, and invest in yourself, they aren't going to give you a magic recipe for success.

Good luck

This article delivers a very good understanding of what it's like to be an entrepreneur in India. Kudos.

One of the coolest things I've read about Jio is something I read on a previous post on HN: that the name and logo were designed to be the mirror image of oiL.

> Later, Reliance profited from other parts of India’s protectionist regime. Their synthetic fiber arbitrage worked like this: to make manufacturers self-sufficient, the Indian government allowed them to import raw materials only in proportion to the goods they exported. Ambani persuaded the government to let him import polyester filament yarn in proportion to the nylon goods he exported. Nylon was available cheaply in India, polyester filament was 600% more expensive when locally sourced in India than its cost when imported. So Ambani set up a closed loop: make nylon clothes from locally-sourced materials; sell them abroad; use the import quota to import polyester filament; sell it at home. And, just to be safe, he took care of the demand side, too: at least according to The Polyester Prince, Ambani sent money abroad to buy his own products at duty-free ports, and then sold them for cheap, gave them away, or even dumped them in the ocean.

All true except in many cases, the exporters didn't need to actually export anything. If the right bribes were paid (Congress Party's modus operandi), it was all a "receipts game"... you just needed receipts that "proved" that you had sent goods abroad, that money had hit the bank, etc.

There was a huge fertilizer subsidies scam in India a couple decades ago which was another case of "receipts game". (The scam involved subsidies [given by the government] for using fertilizer [similar to Agricultural Subsidies in the USA]. Turns out that most of the subsidies were going to politicians who weren't using any fertilizer, they were just providing the correct receipts that "proved" that they had bought -- and presumably used -- fertilizer.)

Finally, I worked at a bank in India for a short while, just after the major devaluation of the currency in the nineties (the Indian Rupee was devalued by over 50% in two phases). Around midnight, the day before the surprise announcement by the Reserve Bank of India (and the Government of India), a bunch of treasury operations staff at the bank got marching orders to go to the office and sell off, as much as they could, the Indian Rupee, and buy foreign currencies. They worked all night. The client made millions from this bank's operations alone. The client? Reliance.
And, from everything I've seen (or else Spotify wouldn't be so big), you are in the vast, vast majority of music consumers.

Complaining about the death of the album is one thing, but the reality is that people like listening to singles and playlists.
Yeah, it could, in theory, but it hasn't been, and I doubt it will. So the volume of email continues to be what it is, and thus, is much larger than the volume of Google searches. You've mode-switched from descriptivist to proscriptivist.
The allure of a highly used social product seems to always tempt FAANG companies. The same reason Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook would want this is why Microsoft wants it too.
Guilds and unions are not the same thing.

No matter what the "zeitgeist" is 20 years from now, guilds will still have the effect of artificially limiting the supply of labor to the fields they control, which has been a disaster for fields ranging from medicine to cosmetics.
I am not a musician but my guess is that they don't sit down and say "I'm going to record an album with 9 bad songs and one good one."

They do their best on every song and that's just how it turns out.
In addition to the answers posted already lets clear up what seems to be a bit of confusion in the question.

if you google serverless you'll find 2 seperate things.

1. a general name and concept for a user only having to worry about the services they deploy at the application layer (without having to worry about setting up servers and such behind it)

2. a framework for generalizing how to package up serverless functions.

(the name overload is super confusing took me a while when I wanted to setup 1)

So you question is comparing apples to oranges.

In that you can use serverless framework to deploy Django,Flask,ExpressJS and etc applications to serverless systems i.e. AWS Lambda.

for instance I have 2 services I use basically every day that are built on this

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-express

so I use serverless framework to deploy nodejs/express applications

It's market valuing things based on scarcity. Music is in abundance right now due to lower barrier to entry for distributing and producing it than ever before. You have to provide more value than someone producing music as a hobby for free on youtube.
> There's never been a lot of search ads on news search terms

The searches don't need to convert themselves in order to be valuable; if they affect user behavior enough, they'll affect it for commercial queries too. Ie, if someone switches to Bing because they never get good results on Google, they'll probably just switch to Bing period, instead of jumping back to Google for their commercial queries.
Nonsense. Skype has cornered the market in prank calling. Now they just need to monetize it.
If you haven't noticed, the pendulum is swinging towards decentralized, distributed computing systems.

This has happened previously in history (mainframe -> PC, back to Cloud Computing, and now to edge/IoT).

If you want to "skate where the puck is going" you would be paying attention to the open web standards space.

For what it’s worth, with ADTs and non-exposed constructors you can achieve the same result (i.e. only the creating module can actually _build_ such a list but other modules can read the data).
The message itself is wrong.

We live in a world of plenty. We should be working less, not more. We have created more music in this century than all of the last combined. We have the ability to listen to thousands of years of music at the touch of a button. A concert that would have taken hours of work for 50 people to entertain 200 now takes nothing - a million people put on their headphones and listen to a recording made 20 years ago.

And that is just music - the same plenitude is available in almost all aspects of our lives. And yet, people insist on ever more growth, on ever more work.

Hopefully in the next decades, as the reality of global warming and worker empowerment gain traction, we'll realize that in fact the work week can be drastically reduced without affecting our material needs, as long we let go of this level of consumption.
The UI design is just awful for this day and age. It looks like MySpace from 15 years ago.

> This is why tax cuts under Bush and Trump blew up the federal budget - tax rates were already pretty low, so quite deep cuts to revenue were required to deliver any notable benefit to high-rate taxpayers

>what they created is simply the best digital distribution channel besides Google. Many business are built and scaled on Facebook Ads.

Facebook cheated. They stole the advertising industry from print and broadcast with lies. Google helped, but AFAIK with fewer lies. Facebook doesn't have a Jeff Dean (or pg/Yahoo for that matter), they had the Napster guy. Facebook created nothing more than an attractive nuisance.

Facebook is an object lesson in the amorality of capital. As long as they maintain an agreeable narrative to smooth over questionable ethics along the way, they will be called a miracle. Capitalism is defined as a system inclined to accept success on its terms without question, and someone like Zuck who tells a vague story about FB's purpose just seems like gravy, feels like transparency.
And I still don't get the financial benefit for commercial use. Getting stuff to orbit is expensive, satellites are expensive, maintaining stuff in orbit is expensive.

Laying fibre and putting up 5G towers is cheaper, they can be serviced and upgraded.

Satellites make sense for governments, as it is harder to screw with them for adversaries. But for commercial use, what's exactly the benefit?
That's not entirely watertight - it's not necessarily intelligence that's correlated with looks; maybe its just influencing what people pick as their major.
Maybe attractive people do less STEM because they naturally are more socialised growing up, and spend less time shut away. That results in less STEM knowledge, but not necessarily less intelligence.

Or, you could go for a debit card with a pin, like in good old Germany. Credit cards require artificial fraud protection just because it's literally unprotected once someone gets the details. Why is there no secret involved? Just for the few seconds it takes to enter a pin?

[Edit] I'd like to add, that most German debit cards work differently from what some of you might consider a debit card. Here, the money is withdrawn from your bank account on the same day (most of the time), and you cannot go into debt. Of course, there are exceptions from this.
