For OpenAI to become a healthy and profitable business, GPT-3 will require them to generate ~50-300 million dollars from the model. This could realistically only occur if they cost-effectively fine-tune away the more egregious problems in beta - or convince enough investors that their next model with a 100 million dollar price tag will be able to handle something approximating AGI for realistic applications.

This is the same game plan that Self-driving car companies have been playing. The product is only an investment round away, if we just happen to spend more money on bigger models using more data. This will either end with a price tag in the billions that investors are unwilling to pay, or successful monopolies. Allowing additional researchers to perform extensive analysis of the technique is likely to just reveal systematic flaws which increase the risk that the next round of research will produce a successful product, or limit the companies ability to create a monopoly following success.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing for advancing the state of the art, but it does introduce a whole lot of BS into the current state of research.
I bet Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft are much bigger at world scale.

Please don't make up figures and share them in public.

No, Apple didn't make $50B in profit "a year" or last year or in ANY year from App Store fees. Takes about 30 seconds to look up Apple's financials and disprove that. And no, Apple doesn't have a "monopoly". Sony, Google, and Microsoft also get 30% of all revenue from their app stores. Claiming Apple has a "monopoly" is ludicrous and just shows that you don't know what a real monopoly is.
I also wonder if there's some twisted emotional flow in people to consider whatever hell they conquered as the way to go forever. Questioning their ways is seen as such an insult there must be something deeply wound in their brain.
I think this would be more idiomatic for your enum, and also shows how to match on a Box:

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum Expr_ {
Let(String, Expr, Expr),
FnCall(String, Vec<Expr>),
Lambda(Vec<String>, Expr),
Variable(String),
IntLiteral(i32),
}
use self::Expr_::*;

pub type Expr = Box<Expr_>;

fn main() {
let x = Box::new(Variable("test".to_string()));
match *x {
Variable(n) => dbg!(n),
_ => unimplemented!()
};
}
This looks very similar to OpenSCAD. If it's being actively developed I'll have to take a look at it!

Though, I really wish people would do something like this built on Julia (or perhaps even Nim). There's nothing too magical IMHO in what I can see of AngelScript or OpenSCAD script that couldn't be done with macro transformations. Then you'd get a real language with better documentation, semantics, etc and could integrate with a larger echo system.

I'd love to have an ecosytem in Julia where you could build 3D models, then plug them into a FEM model feeding the results into a deep neural net.

I’m old enough to remember when 30% was a good deal, especially when the market was dominated by $0.99 apps and they cover your hosting bandwidth.

What are hosting/bandwidth fees like for an app this size anyway?
Its good to see experiments like this. Maybe this project won't be the next big thing, but maybe it will give someone an idea of what the next big thing should be.
It's "extraordinary"? No, it's not. By definition, it is quite ordinary. Google, Microsoft, and Sony all charge the exact same percentage, 30%, in their app stores.

Nice throwaway account, btw.

It's one of my pet peeves to see "b" used for bytes and "m" used for mega. Makes you have to fish out the units from context. Most of the time it's obvious, your file is not really "16 mb" or 16 thousands of a bit, but sometimes the b/B swap is not obvious as both could apply.

even funnier imagine if Windows had only allowed people to install software through the Windows Store and siphoned 30% of all revenue from every developer who has ever written commercial software for Windows simply for participating.

At which number does that "you know who to trust" break down? Clearly it is >1, as e.g. Android users seem to be doeing just fine without Apple's store being the one and only. So Google is ok as well? Who else? Amazon? Lenovo? Huawei? Epic? Blizzard? The German Governement? The EU Commission store?

The thing that feels implicit, yet false, in all of this is that workflows are static. People evolve, learn, change. Teams even more so.

The most important process I implement with teams is retrospection and its use as a mechanism to modify process in a principled way.

So as you learn about your own process, your tools can either fall away and be replaced, or flex with you and stick around for longer. My guess is that flexibility is slightly better than fixity, as it'll let you live within one ecosystem for a little longer.

The other way of interaction is to be inspired by new tools to modify your process. This feels pretty off to me, at first, in that it means that you're moving your process do to exogenous things as opposed to endogenous learning.

But that sort of work can be really valuable too. It's good to learn other people's methods. It forms an impulse that can get you out of local optima. It's an important part of the learning process.
This is awesome - Does it work cross-region?

Supermarkets loose money if goods do not sell, storage is expensive and limited shelf space , will also promote your product visibility or even give exclusivity etc .

Apple takes no risk and does none of the above, so not remotely the same. Sure if Apple is willing to buy apps from Epic in bulk and speculate in addition to distribute, Epic or any other dev is not going to say no.

Fulfilled by Amazon is much better comparison, you get paid only if the customer actually buys, you get penalized for returns etc. Providing the market place, the customer, the delivery service, storage service and payment gateway. Amazon does not charge even close to 30% in most SKUs.

This is why it’s fair to call some prompt designs bad. With a bad prompt you can’t really judge anything from the response. But better prompt design can uncover interesting behaviors. GPT-3 will generally not reject a prompt as nonsense or unreasonable, and will instead do a straight-faced continuation, probably because it has been trained on plenty of jokes, satires, dream sequences, etc. But if you specifically give it space in the prompt to reject nonsense, it’s actually quite good at rejecting nonsense.

I'm less leery about steam since they have competition: Origin, Epic Games Store, GoG, Microsoft play store, and just releasing the game yourself (plenty of studios actually do this, spiderweb software, paradox, to name a couple).

Apple's situation is more like if Windows decided that all apps running on windows need to pay a 30% cut. The term "App Store" is misleading: it's not a store, if your application isn't in the app store there is no legitimate way of running the app on an iPhone or iPad.
Down in the explanations, a triangle:

Users defend it because it’s a user friendly experience. The concept is good, even if you think apple’s cut is too high. Imagine going to a grocery store and needing to go through several different checkouts depending on which products you bought.
Considering Apple is the world's biggest company and their whole business model rests on their walled garden, there isn't anyone bigger at world scale
Well, I see this as a good thing for Apple's consumers, and to some degree Apple.

Apple might lose distribution of some things, but they can justify higher commission rates with a market that has a reputation for security, versus newly competing markets. I can see this being very beneficial for consumers, with a series of choices that will have different costs associate with them.

Short-term, Apple will lose revenue, but this is also a good justification for Apple to open an App Store in the Android ecosystem and offer a "more secure" app store than Google.

Long-term, I don't see this as a negative shift for really anyone. If the App Store expands to other platforms, Apple might focus on exclusive distribution rights agreements which would probably give them a greater degree of competition.

Perhaps apps could actually ship you something IRL, and give the digital item away 'for free'.

Example: Wordpress sends you a letter with an activation code. Then it's a physical good you're paying for.

Kind of like how people sell coupons on eBay, but you aren't paying for the coupon, but for the lister's time/effort to list it.

Apple's fee is draconian and people are happy to manage these things via plain web applications. There is nothing special about apps. If anything, with all the extra special access they get (contacts, camera, gyroscope) they're a liability.
Yes, but unfortunately there is no power to control the commissions of all these platforms yet.

You're contradicting yourself. You can't make the games 20% cheaper and give 20% more to developers. Since the developers get to pick they will just keep that portion. There is no benefit to consumers. Indie developers aren't struggling because their game made 25k instead of 30k. Steam offers a discount to publishers for games exceeding a certain amount of revenue so the ones who would most benefit from lower fees are already getting them. Since game companies can't know how much revenue they will generate they can't lower their pricing ahead of time. Again all the saved money is going to the publisher with no benefit for the consumer.

You're also ignoring that not every copy of a game on steam was actually acquired by paying the 30%. You can kiss Humble Bundle and their Humble Store goodbye because they are using Steam infrastructure without paying for it.

It's not really black and white. You can't say that lower fees are better in every case because they involve different trade offs. The cheapest product on the market is rarely the best.

Because Tencent (along with all Chinese companies) risk getting banned from all Apple devices worldwide, so they use whichever proxies they can (such as 40% Tencent-owned Epic Games) to try to force Apple to allow third-party app installations.
I totally fail to see the appeal of this from the angle of anyone involved besides maybe recruiters and whoever is trying to charge for it.

I love how it has to mention their creep prevention system in the first couple of lines as if that has been a big problem for them.

That's disappointing. Given the size of the UK intelligence budget and how much the whole military must spend on recruiting, being a part of the story that began there is one of the things that gets smart people into public service.
So that means third parties have the legal right to put on Apple phones whatever they please? I think not.

As such, the contract between the companies is the legally binding method to access Apple hardware. Apparently Apple has designed the contract so millions of apps got developed for the phones. Epic wanted different terms, but has no legal right to unilaterally break contracts to do so.

The courts will likely side with Apple. There’s ample precedent for platform owners to have wide latitude on fees to publish.
I think the answer is to your question, not the sentence after your question.

The price was already carefully chosen and will stay the same so they get 20% extra. There is no need to raise the price.
The reasoning may be that Apple deals with end-to-end delivery with digital goods but not physical goods.

This is exactly why I refuse to give to big brand-name charities. The amount of troughing going on in large charities is absolutely disgraceful.

Whether its the remuneration given to those at the top table, the fancy offices the charities occupy in prime real estate locations, the generous use of taxis and business class flights. The list goes on.

Until such day the charity regulators put an end to it, I shall continue my no-execptions refusal to give to large charities.
> The question I'd ask is can a dropshipper avoid selling counterfeits?

The original concept of dropshipping was that you'd get a product manufactured (or would sell a white-label product, or would be a reseller for a large company), but the product would go straight from the manufacturer to the consumer without having to stop at your own warehouse.

It makes a lot of sense in lots of businesses and has no reason to yield counterfeits, it avoids having to hold stock (so your costs are lower which means you can sell for less, or can leave more to the manufacturer) yet the product doesn't have to stop by your warehouse so the buyer waits less.

Many sellers or designers don't manufacture their products, they contract the manufacturing to a company with those capabilities (often in SEA), they might QA every piece initially to make sure everything's ship shape, but once every kink has been worked out they only need to sample to ensure the product conforms to expectations (or separately contract on-site QA at the manufacturer), they don't need to personally inspect every product.

At that point, if the manufacturer can drop-ship, chances are it's a win for everyone.
I've been using Cuppa since June and I've met really interesting people on it. That list includes therapists, no-code makers, entrepreneurs.

For the affluent, obtaining a second passport though e.g. citzenship-by-investment programs is all done through intermediaries. You pay a law firm a few tens of thousands of euro and they take care of everything – the only action required from you is going to an office to pick up your passport at the very end of the process. Since these affluent individuals are so used to relying on expert assistance, no knowledge of the local language is ever really necessary.

For less affluent people, especially those obtaining citizenship through ancestry, there are sometimes requirements to prove a B1 command of the local language, so in that case actually learning the language is a must.

It not the starting of price of 30%, the problem is Apple will not adjust it one bit for anybody[1]. Microsoft or Sony will happily negotiate with AAA developer, none of the top devs will pay close to 30%.

You think Naughty Dog or Bethesda will pay 30% and also do exclusive releases etc? Sometimes MS or Sony will even pay developers to support their platform, there is always room to negotiate unlike Apple.

[1] Streaming services being the exception in virtual goods, if Apple charges Hulu or Prime 30%, the studios which also license content to Apple TV will not be happy. It could get Apple TV locked out or deals will become expensive.

Back catalogue is really, really valuable in Music and TV, Michael Jackson ownership of ATV is famous example of this
