I think "tightly binding data and behavior" is a less-ambiguous way of phrasing the pitfall. Obviously code goes great with data; no one wants to work with strings as raw buffers all the time!
I was responding to the part of OP's comment that alleges that Gmail is only big for personal email, and there's not a lot of that being sent. Gmail is clearly massive for enterprise email. I'm also not sure why this wouldn't correspond to market share in number of emails sent. All of those enterprises using Gmail are sending tons of emails internally.

Ah, Milewski's example of insight from the supposedly useless mathematical stuff: https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/12/23/kleisli-categories/ (and the corresponding lecture video).
I notice an interesting adaption to this in the metalcore scene. Bands release shorter EP's (5-6 song mini albums) more frequently. In some cases 2 separate EP's are re-released after as a combined album plus 1-3 new bonus tracks.

At first I didn't really like this trend b/c I enjoy listening to the full album through on first listen. But I do understand why they are doing this to adapt to the streaming age.

Instead of releasing a 12-song album once every two years, they split that release into 3 every 6 months (5 song EP, 5 song EP, combined album + 2 bonus). As consumers we get the music earlier and more frequently. They get 3 release hype cycles for the same amount of creative work, which is what they need to be discovered in streaming platforms.
I find this hypocritical. It seems obvious to me that it's possible to reasonably respond to news that a KKK leader was banned on Twitter by expressing gratitude without that signifying a likely personality flaw.
I am curious what you think the optimal solution for music in today’s world with massive storage and high bandwidth. Spotify is paying 70% of revenue to artists.

You have factor in piracy if the price is to high or the solution is inconvenient. The public has rejected DRM and songs are easily give away to their friends. Lastly, No one wants physical media.
It will be interesting to learn more as the case proceeds. Was he not using tor?

I'm actually not super surprised that they've arrested a teenager. Considering the thoroughness of the hack, just using it to scam a few bitcoins seemed a bit blasé. Imagine the shitshow he could've started by tweeting as Trump
I was under the (apparently false?) assumption that under-18s couldn't be named. The alleged mastermind here is 17, yet is named and pictured.

Interestingly, when I first checked this out ~8 minutes ago, they stated that they would not name the alleged mastermind due to the fact he was under 18. In the update ~4 minutes ago, they have removed that section and named him.
It's probably true and I find it sad. The best musical experiences I had have been from albums, not single tracks.

No more albums every 3/4 years means no more singles leading to the hype of an album nor more meaningful shows around one theme. No more albums means no more ways to put something on for an hour of development and feeling like you're (re)living something that has a beginning and an end while having consistency.

During this quarantine, After Hours by the Weeknd and The Slow Rush by Tame Impala have been my best partners. Sure I've listened to playlists, but the delusion of The Weeknd and the tempo of Tame Impala's album will stay in my mind as elements of this period, not single tracks. Asking musicians to constantly release is like removing the concept of books to only satisfy ourselves with news articles and tweets. Maybe it makes more money, but what a depressing artistic world.
If they can have TikTok run on Azure, it'll improve Azure by leaps and bounds similar to Netflix running on AWS. I think it's a brilliant move to buy TikTok. I don't see what else they could potentially buy right now.
TikTok is politically poisonous. Why would they?!?
Perhaps instead of allowing full control you could have different modes? I like using the 4-7-8 Method[1] but there are lots of different breath exercises.

My only question is: when will they bring this to the Mac.
"The artists today that are making it realize that it’s about creating a continuous engagement with their fans. It is about putting the work in, about the storytelling around the album, and about keeping a continuous dialogue with your fans."

Translation: We don't have a marketing department to handle this royal pain-in-the-ass for you, like a record company would've in the old days. Selling stuff still requires marketing though, so the people who do well are the ones who handle that part themselves, along with making the music. If you're not good at wearing all the hats at once (for example you're amazing at music and not particularly at marketing) well I guess you don't belong in the new future landscape.

Corollary: This future landscape tends naturally toward being filled with mediocre musicians who work at it part-time - almost like a moonlighting side gig to their marketing jobs.

> Your reasoning means that the most optimal move for Russia would be to nuke you

No, I doubt Russia would dare use their nukes. Again the facility in Romania has become operational in 2019, no nuke from Russia so far. The one Obama cancelled was supposed to be in Poland. Roughly similar distance from mainland Russia.

> The fact that you consider nuclear war to be winnable is horrifying. The whole point of it is that everyone loses. That's not defeatism, that's the only sane way to deal with two sides having end-of-the-world weapons.

Expecting to lose without putting up a fight is defeatism. Nobody wants a nuclear war. But nonetheless I'm very happy that the US and other militaries are preparing for this scenario. Switzerland has a system of nuclear bunkers that can house more than its current population - I think that's very smart. It's not set in stone that humanity would end after such a war. Some projections even see most Americans surviving.

And don't discount a scenario where America can totally neutralize an adversary's nuclear capability with new tech. This should be (and probably is) the goal. We don't even know that much about the current capability.

Practically speaking a "MAD" approach benefits Russia much more than anybody else. Their military is rather unimpressive. Russia's nuclear capability is the only way Russia can seem strong and keep getting away with everything they do.
Countries like Russia cannot be trusted to comply with any nuclear agreements. When the West stops its work on nuclear related technologies it only gives countries like Russia an edge.

You don't need to get nearly that far out to be without reasonable internet.

Since I accepted I was no Einstein I embraced the KISS principle.

My code became simpler, easier to understand.

Of course it wouldn't get the approval of any software architect or any design pattern fanatic, but I can take any code I wrote 3 years ago, understand it on the fly and edit it with confidence. There are few bugs and they're never a nightmare to find.

Now if I have to modify the code I was writing before my KISS revelation, when I was reading too much about OOP and design patterns then the headaches start. Often I'm left wondering why oh why I had to use so many levels of indirection to solve what is a simple problem.
Challenge Questions Don’t Work
They've created new revenue streams by allowing the music labels to purchase advertising on spotify to promote new singles/albums. More singles/albums coming out -> More competition for listeners -> Drives up advertising prices. I imagine that's part of the reason.
Kinda curious if this would mean the end of Nvidia's CPU group and/or ARM's GPU group or if there would be a peaceful integration.
They still have youtube which is in a league of its own and while it may not be consiered a "social network" it's still definitely social media, arguably more than even TikTok could be considered as.
Wonder when we'll get details on how he was actually able to do this - like how he got access to the internal tools, how did he succeed in social engineering, etc
It is your choice.

They've updated the article in the last 5 minutes. The original article I read said something like "we're not releasing his name because he's under 18 years old" and now his name is fully out there. Crazy.
It's an open secret in the Indian bureaucratic establishment that Reliance will hire retiring bureaucrats and get them to work their networks to find out what's happening in the government before it actually happens.

I don't even blame Reliance. These were the cards they were dealt with. They just knew how to play them better than anyone else.
Any standards in particular?
Is Apple Silicon ARM?
Yeah the CEO’s take reminds me of Jobs’s “you’re holding it wrong”. So it’s not that Spotify is not paying artists enough, it’s that artists aren’t working hard enough. And even though artists have been complaining about the money they make from streaming for years, “in private” some of them are happy. Sure.
Yes, this has also helped me (at one point my wrists were bad enough I had to start mousing with my non-dominant hand). It seems like pulling exercises such as deadlifts or pull-ups or just rock climbing in general help the most.
This is exactly it. There's widespread fear that China is buying its way into the personal data of billions through its state-sponsored businesses like Huawei and ByteDance.
I am well aware of that. But what's their ratio of actual journalism vs the endless trash they put out?
Wow. I have had Apple do me right for free repairs out of warranty (and past AppleCare expiration) but several things applied: It was in California where retail culture is less combative about helping the customer; 2) the laptop did have AppleCare; 3) It was at the Palo Alto store which tends to have very well educated employees, with cross flow between the employee pool and corporate; 4) the laptop was purchased at an Apple store, which inexplicably gives them more leeway (well, possibly due to their certainty it was always in Apple’s hands prior to direct sale to the customer).
How would that even function in practice? I am honestly baffled at this. If Trump is so eager to hinder TikTok (China's influence), then he should just ban the company like he did with Huawei and be done with it. The instant he does it, TikTok is doomed (internationally), they are a pure digital product.
I highly recommend The Song Machine (Inside the Hit Factory) by John Seabrook. The author describes the modern reincarnation of the Brill Building that pumps out pop hits using methods that we would not call songwriting (Max Martin, Dr. Luke, etc.). The goal is to get you to listen to 30 seconds of a song (that counts as a spin on digital streaming services). They've decomposed the process into mass production of backing tracks (using pro tools) which then get handed to so-called topliners that add the "hook" (the catchy part of the song). They stick the famous artist at the beginning of the song to get you past the 30 second threshold.

Well, I guess that's one way to keep Apple as a customer :P
Not sure if this is good. There is now a new trending app that is eating up TikTok users, its called Triller. Same concept but US made I think.

What happens if MSFT buy TikTok only for the users to migrate to the new flavour of the social media app.
1) There are many domains that don’t care about single threaded CPU performance or CPU performance at all. I would say gaming is becoming one such domain

2) This might soon change if Microsoft and Apple succeed in their quest to push ARM machines to the consumer market. I can imagine than an ARM macbook is all that's needed to start an avalanche in adoption

3) Willingness can change easily :)

Interesting to see that he's being charged in Florida, instead of federally. I mean yes, normally, when one commits a crime in a particular area, they're charged in that area. But my understanding is that once stuff crosses state lines, it becomes a federal issue, and this is part of why its usually the FBI that comes knocking.

Reminds me of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which I think about often:

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/04/over-nearly-8...

“[F]ollowed 724 men since they were teenagers in 1938. (Approximately 60 men, now in their 90s, are still left.) The group consisted of men from various economic and social backgrounds, from Boston’s poorest neighborhoods to Harvard undergrads. (President John F. Kennedy was even part of the original group.) Over the years, the researchers have collected all kinds of health information, and every two years they ask members questions about their lives and their mental and emotional wellness. They even interview family members.”

“Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes. That finding proved true across the board among both the Harvard men and the inner-city participants.”

“When we gathered together everything we knew about them about at age 50, it wasn’t their middle-age cholesterol levels that predicted how they were going to grow old,” said Waldinger in a popular TED Talk. “It was how satisfied they were in their relationships. The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.”
Hope he’s not charged as an adult. I’m not getting the reasoning behind it.
It would be a very easy decision I think. Can you rebuild your credit in less time than it would take you to pay off your loans?

Gwern points out that "prompt engineering" is very important in GPT-3 (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#prompts-as-programming), and it's entirely possible that will be more pronounced in GPT-4.

If that's the case, there's an obvious moat (perhaps not an incredibly deep one) in being better at prompt engineering than your competitors, dedicating R&D effort to discovering new prompt engineering tricks/principles, etc.

I could see this as being kind of like an advanced form of SEO.

In fact, having tremendous wealth and fame come with additional costs. You end up needing a mansion, not for the space per se but for privacy and security. You end up needing bodyguards. Etc.

One way to make services like Spotify make sense for "average joe" musicians and other creatives is to address the other half of the equation: The cost of living for the average joe.

We basically only build upper class housing these days. The average new home in the 1950s was about 1200 square feet and housed about 3.5 people. These days, it's more like 2400 square feet (or more) and houses about 2.5 people

We have also torn down a million SROs and we largely have done away with things like boarding houses, where you rented a room and got breakfast and dinner as part of the rent and you supplied your own lunch elsewhere. Instead, we default to expecting young people to share a house or apartment designed for a nuclear family with a bunch of strangers. Then we make horror movies about it, like Single White Female, and then fail to go "Huh. Maybe that's not such a wonderful thing to insist young, single people do."

Health care is another major issue in the US. It costs way too much and many other developed countries handle that better, so we have many other examples to draw from. It's not like we need to brilliantly design something that's never been done before to make this work. We just mostly need the political will and to take our heads out of our butts in this country.
Today I learned! Thanks, and upvoted.
Florida has some of the most permissive laws about mugshots and criminal info.

The reason for the "Florida Man" meme is not that people in Florida are more weird than anywhere else, just that it's easier to find the mugshots online.

Another whole-album-listener here, but I'm the minority among my peers (millennials). I find looking for complete albums where all of the songs are high quality really guides my taste when I'm looking for new music. If an artist's album consists of one amazing song and 11 bad ones, I likely won't listen to that artist again. The artists that have been able to knit 12 songs into a narrative and provide an enjoyable listening experience are the ones I keep coming back to year after year.

No where in the article it mentions how did they nail him or how did he do.

It's a bit disrespectful to reply to someone saying something's depressing by bluntly saying it's not. It's not up to you to judge what they find depressing.

I also find it depressing. It's a societal problem that we do not value art in the same way that we value science and technology. We see it everywhere from the STEM myth to arts educational programs and artists struggling just to survive. Even earning my living in science and technology, I personally have grown to believe art is far more important for human progress and development than science and technology. It's a real problem that we blindly let markets decide what is important because it is in fact humanity's lack of progress emotionally, which is unfortunately tied strongly to our biology, but our insane progress in technology that causes almost all of our problems.

The sky doesn't contain any blue pigment, either. And a blue-eyed person has no blue in their irises.

You're referring to pigment; there is no blue plant pigment, true, but that seems a little pedantic, even if it's interesting. Plenty of flowers reflect blue light, which is what people mean when they say an object is "blue".
I was in the same boat, the solution to my predicament came in the form of my friend, who is a keyboard geek and has a few tens of them. He lent me one, I liked it and bought it from him. I greatly enjoy it now and would not go back to a non-QMK keyboard (or a non-split one), though I wouldn't have gone for a columnar keyboard if I knew.

I would also have preserved the full layout, to prevent having to needlessly retrain some muscle memory, but being able to do things like remap "Tab+hjkl" to "{}[]" is fantastic.

Well apropos the grand-parent comment using "Florida Man" We hear about "Florida Man" more often because, yeah, maybe there is a lot more partying in Florida, but also because Florida has some of the most open public record laws. I've read that unlike other places where you have to bother the police for reports, in Florida you can get yourself added to a daily email blast of reports.
This seems obvious but the reason has nothing to do with GPT-3. It’s just a bad idea to build a business around someone else’s API, especially when there’s no real competition to that API (for now) and it’s nontrivial to roll your own replacement if you had to.

Someone else mentioned the App Store. But that platform requires diverse businesses to participate for it to be valuable to Apple’s customers. And you can still diversify across other platforms and app stores. And despite that there are still lots of examples of businesses getting shut out for one, sometimes arbitrary and opaque, reason or another. Or Apple simply likes the product and clones it (Flux). We also have Twitter’s fickle relationship with developers. And various Google APIs that have been shut down (Reader, etc.), priced up (Maps) or modified their TOS to curtail use cases businesses had built on because it impinged on Google’s own interests. This list is nowhere near exhaustive.

What if OpenAI’s business model changes (again) and your business is no longer important to theirs? If it ever was in the first place...

I typically use https://rateyourmusic.com to find new stuff. Not their recommendation system, that’s trash.

Instead, I find albums I already know I like and look for well-written reviews on the album page. Then I click into the reviewer’s profile, see if I like/recognize any of the other stuff they’ve reviewed, and if so, I follow them. Boom, it’s like you’ve found a friend who actually enjoys the same music you do.
Revenge is underrated. The opportunities to avenge oneself without also shooting oneself in the foot, or entering an endless cycle of reciprocal vendettas, are very rare. But when they do come, the closure is liberating.
