The Fight for Ethics in AI's Lossy Compression Problem
Hi! I'm a cofounder at Runway.

I've been poking around with Pry for Runway, and I think their approach is super compelling. There's a lot of overlap between our approaches, and some meaningful philosophical differences in product strategy.

Overall, the problem space is enormous and I'm super impressed by how much Andy has built with a small team.

Out of all of other products in the space that are publicly available, I consider Pry to be the most impressive one I've seen. And I strongly agree that we need more people in this space innovating on finance, so more options is a good thing.
Btw. great gathering of people with a *BSD background or friends :-)

I think, we all should be way more cool headed. Email doesn't contain the tone and it is very easy to formulate something in a bad way when exhausted or upset. Some people use very strong words that considering their usual style aren't nearly as strong in reality.

In this case, the great question is, how did such a bad code (according to Jason) land in the code base at all? Don't other people look at it? Do the FreeBSD developers ignore concerns of other fellow developers until it blows up to beyond community communication circles?
Even if all of this were true, there's no reason one should be pledging allegiance to the state. You can be proud of your country, your state, your city, and your community but to have to make pledges in front of other people to signal your patriotism is weird to anyone who wasn't brought up within that bubble of propaganda and jingoism.

Have you seen footage of North Koreans pledging their allegiance to their government? Dial that down a little and you get (some) Americans. It might seem normal to you, having been born into that bubble, but believe me the average patriotic North Korean feels the same.

Patriotism is just tribalism, and while it was crucial five centuries ago, it's a cancer on any modern society.
knowing nothing else, i'd bet that your workplace value creation encompasses a bigger team around you than you may perceive in your day-to-day. that is, unless you're designing, developing, testing, deploying, securing, marketing, documenting, supporting, accounting for, financing, and selling everything yourself. but even then, you'll often have others helping you, either on contract or in an advisory or support capacity. all of that stuff needs to be sync'ed up and holistically delivered to customers.

basketball is my go-to first-order microcosm of work life, but you can see the same representative dynamics in other facets of life, like a band. similarly, i think of pets as first-order humans, endlessly fascinating and instructive to observe and interact with. =)

pow4(mod15(x)) is already in Z/15, you can't apply mod15 to it. The point is pow4ing in Z and then reducing mod 15 is the same as reducing mod 15, then pow4ing in Z/15.

It's not actually the same pow4 on the LHS and RHS (the LHS is in Z, the RHS in Z/15), but I think "commutative" still fits.

Airplanes aren't pressurized to sea level... so as they went up, the air inside the tank vented outward into the airplane... and a pressure vessel can easily withstand that... but the problem is that on the way back down to land, the pressure inside the airplane went up far quicker than it could get back inside the tank, so the tank had a much lower pressure inside than that outside the tank.

You've obviously never seen what happens to a pressure vessel when the pressure gradient goes the wrong way...

Here's an idea of what can happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM

Imagine being on a plane when a very large object inside of it does that. It could have caused the airplane to implode as well, or have catastrophic damage.
The biggest problem I have with the Github auth flow is around organizations. An organization can prevent my apps from accessing its repos, but I can't deny an app permission to access organizations that I don't want it to. As a freelancer, when some client uses a Github app to do something, I have to give that Github app access to all of my other client's organizations, because Github won't let me disable them.
And that it was actively imploding or crushing itself due to pressure differences.
TLDR - Implement a wealth tax and use it to pay a UBI.

Fine, but he should address why he thinks a wealth tax will work this time when it didn't work when it was tried in Europe (due to international competitiveness reasons).

Moreover, what's the rationale for excluding small business ownership from the tax? Why should a middle-class pensioner invested in public equities with $500k have to sacrifice 2.5 percent of their wealth each year, but a rich person that owns a small business worth $50m has no such burden?

I don't know how this insanity still exists. Sharing login data with third parties is likely violation of bank ToS and might deprive you of fraud protection (bank might argue that you were grossly negligent by sharing credentials).

I guess acceptance of that crazy scheme is regional thing. Paypal tried to pull that over here but they backed out after a week of extensive backlash. And EU mandates that banks provide APIs in PSD2 directive.
Mars does not have a magnetosphere. The core on Mars stopped spinning so there is no longer the electric dynamo and thus there isn't a potential. So everything has to be a floating potential. That isn't to say that you can't make reference grounds, but it is much more convoluted than "sticking a fucking metal rod into the ground".

Actually if you pay attention to HI-SEAS[0] this has been a cause of an accident (since they replicate Mars habitat.

This problem also, obviously, applies to any planetary body which does not have a magnetosphere. So you don't have magnetic north and you don't have a safe potential ground.

> Free information means anyone can use it ...

Of course anyone can use it commercially and for whichever reason they like. But by creating a walled 'premium' offering you are going against the premise of 'anyone can use it' since not anyone can use the commercial api.

Surely if Google or anyone wants the api so badly they're willing to pay for it, they should fund it. Why does that mean it needs to be 'locked'?

My YC company is a GitHub app [1] and the "act on your behalf" thing is just a really poorly written message for the new (github apps vs oauth apps) apps interface. There's even a hilarious thread on the github forum itself about "act on your behalf" when all it requests is your email and avatar [2]

Ironically the newer apps system does have fine grained permissions, but seems more intrusive because of the strange wording

I was an Atari ST 1200 user too. In college, I told no one. I felt like I was cheating with the word processor. The other students would talk about paying someone $1.00 a page for typing, and I said nothing.

I told my college girlfriend she could use it whenever she wanted, but she just didn't like the poor Atari. I remember trying to get her interested in the drawing program, but still nothing.

I still have a nice memory of me demonstrating the abilities of the drawing program though. I was fooling around and drew male and female anatomy on the screen. She said, “You’re getting me horny. Turn that box off!” I was astonished on a few levels. I never heard her say anything remotely sexual, and I like it. I remember breaking up with her after we graduated, and I never found anyone even close to her on a lot of levels. I mistakenly thought the grass was greener.

I had this irrational fear one teacher might question the dot matrix print, but no one questioned anything.

My girlfriend at the time thought I was crazy for spending so much money on a computer.

I hated writing papers, but the computer saved me a lot of hassles.

I wish now I explored other aspects of computing back then, but in all honestly, I felt like sitting in front of a screen for anything other than writing, or making money, was waste of my 20’s.

I even got to the point where I didn’t like computers. I still have a love hate relationship with a lot of tech.

I remember looking at the case, and the monitor a few years after graduation, and tossing it all away. At the time, I wished they didn’t use that beige for the case/monitor though.

Now—-I wish I kept it. That word processor was everything I needed to write.

> There is an absolutely massive difference between “All their revenue” and “All revenue from in app purchases”.

The OP is about Librem Tunnel, an app which is one part of a subscription service called "Librem One".

By forcing this company to add in-app purchases, Apple is taking 30% of all the revenue of the entire Librem One subscription, since Librem doesn't sell VPN access by itself.

I don't see how I'm blowing that out of proportion? The kiosk taking 30% of iCloud subscriptions is pretty much a perfect analogy to what's going on. I haven't exaggerated anything as far as I can tell.
I'm on my 2nd XPS 13. I switched to it and linux after being severely impacted by the butterfly keyboard (i.e. having to fly to a different country to get it repaired, only to have it break again a few months later).

I don't _hate_ the XPS 13, but I wouldn't recommend it and I probably won't be getting a 3rd one (unless they change).

The build quality just isn't there. First of all, the flexible chassis is annoying. If I pick it up on the side with one hand, it's likely to flex enough to trigger a trackpad click. Secondly, while it's pretty quiet, it does get rather hot. Third, the trackpad and mouse aren't Macbook-quality (butterfly keyboard aside). In my first one, the trackpad and battery had to be replaced. The keyboard on my current one (9300) has very mild issues (I think they reduced the travel distance and it, like butterfly, is somewhat susceptible to dust/dirt)

Not sure what I'll replace it with. Will see how the reviews for the Framework laptop are.

I noticed this problem a while ago when I wanted to use DockerHub’s automated image build service. Per the docs https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/link-source/ you need to grant DockerHub access to your entire GitHub organization!

For me, this was a full stop dealbreaker. A work around was to create a separate GitHub org just to use with the dockerhub build service, but frankly that’s a terrible hack that just masks the larger problem.
> Presumably same challenge on the moon?

Yes. It will be true for any planetary body that does not have a magnetosphere. But Venus has a magnetosphere. So you can do the old "stick a fucking metal rod into the ground" trick as long as your metal rod doesn't melt... because Venus.
Most recently I built https://www.timelineify.com/ - Spotify messes with the order of albums & singles, making it difficult to hear an artist's works in the order they were released. Timelineify generates a chronological playlist of an artist's entire discography with a few clicks!

I was interested in playing around with the Spotify API and this was a narrowly-scoped problem I personally had and could solve in a single weekend. I'm happy with the results, about 500 users have logged in and created a playlist.
I've done some thinking on this since my original post. The conclusion I came too is that the reason that police vehicles are de facto high end production cars is because of buying power.

The fed runs USPS so they buy 100% of the postal fleet. That's a lot of buying power. So much, infect, that companies will trip over each other trying to sell the fed their vehicles. The fed has all the chips, and can dictate practically every aspect of the final design including price and production rates. As the fed, the entire market is just YOU.

But local police departments are fragmented. They all face different budgetary challenges and their financial resources are divided. The market is crowded and suppliers are geographically splintered. The market for police vehicles is ripe for the car companies to divide and conquer. Why would they even make small cars with small engines when the margin on larger cars is better?

Maybe I'm wrong and there's more behind the scenes than meets the eye, but I think if police departments pooled their buying power into one cohesive purchasing entity that they would get more favorable deals from suppliers.
I will admit up front that my understanding of what causes inflation is, extremely limited, but it is not clear to me why.

Isn't one story of how some currencies get their start, that some monarch or someone wants their troops fed, and so they require (on threat of force) that their subjects pay a tax in coins that the monarch has printed, and distributes to their troops? If they did this continuously over time, say distributing only the same coins to their troops that they received as taxes, (or, keeping the amount in circulation constant, by some means), why would the amount of bread that each coin would tend to buy, decrease over the years?

(Of course, the monarch or whatever would also use some of the same coins for their own use, but they aren't being paid to do anything.)
Another non-exact answer, though I thought I'd add some color of a different shade: ADR is a relatively recent concept that's been making its way into organizations and becoming more mainstream that its "grandfather" - or in nicer terms, counterpart - RFC (Request For Comments).

RFCs is another type of technical decision making documentation that has been popular for decades now, and can probably be found more widely as it's more spreadout online from what I can tell. It's worth pointing out that RFCs are less easier to locate it next to specific implementations, since it focuses heavily on a more abstract type of standardization and specification document, and lives further away from the code than ADRs for example.

All of that to say if the intent is to track down code historial evolution, some types of RFCs out there _might_ help shed some facet of the light you may be looking for.

> if you're referring to all the stuff baked into Firebug outside it's debug pane

Yes, you're focusing on the debugger only. The fact is, most people simply did not use Venkman since it was hard to understand how to use it, for what context it was meant. Firebug tied the debugger into a wider context, making it more accessible, and reached a level of popularity that Venkman never had.

Actual extensions for Firefox (no, not the awful watered-down thing we have to live with today):

Back when Firefox created the extensions API they had two competitions with (I think) rather huge sum of cash as prizes for the three top spots.

The quality and ingenuity of those early extensions were nothing short of astounding IMO.

Later extensions were also brilliant.

(To fully understand just how powerful the early extension API was consider this: Firebug, for all practical concerns the precursor of todays developer consoles, was just another Firefox extension! Same with adblocking! Yes, ad blockers still exist, but only because of that legacy, no way someone would have proposed and gotten away with implementing that if the extension API had been invented today IMO.)

I am also working on a networked file system solution. My approach is likely fundamentally different. Instead of a single file system to represent file system artifacts across various devices I am using a single simplified data model as an abstraction for all file systems and pairing that with a new security/identity scheme. The idea is to solving for file asset distribution using point-to-point solutions that don't compromise security or privacy.

This isn't a complete analysis.

High DPI screens are able to render text without aliasing, and that makes a significant difference, especially with less-than-perfect eyesight.

What you're saying is true insofar as I had to squint up to a 1080p screen at 13" to actually see the pixels. But everything was slightly blurry, and switching to a "Retina" (1600p iirc) screen fixed that.

Which was the lack of subpixel aliasing: you can make those screens look blurry as well, by turning it back on. But a 1080 without it just looks like it has janky text rendering.

An actual 4K screen is unnecessary at 13", imho, but the extra pixels are harmless except in battery life. I do detect a real difference in textual rendering between 170ppi and 227, because it's the difference between leaning on subpixel aliasing and turning it off while still getting good results.
This is a very misleading metaphor.

Horses were not workers. The were tools workers used.

Farmers used horses to plow the fields. Transport workers used them to transport goods and people. As those workers got better tools to plow and transport, productivity increased, society got richer.

There are also millions of old telegraphs, slide rules, and rotary phones "unemployed" across the world. The fate of these no longer needed tools tells us nothing about the conditions for human workers.

Also, the fact that you can't find a human example to make this argument, but have to use a loyal, brave, and majestic animal instead, should be enough to hint that this is maybe a bit of emotional manipulation rather than a rational argument.
