For a project like this I would say pretty unlikely because the API is already free for anyone to implement and competing implementations already exist.

The main difficulty with a system like this is the subtlety of operating it at scale with consistent performance and global availability.

The software itself only accounts for a small portion of that.

If AWS and friends were to pick this up and offer it then they would be putting in all of that work too so there would be a lot less they get for "free" comparatively (unless they offer an inferior product). i.e it's a substantially different situation from MongoDB, etc where the software is 99% of the product.

What bothers me most isn't the malinvestment (though that sucks) or a faliure to calculate costs and benefits, but the fact that they're moralizing zealots. A zealot can justify anything in the name of The Common Good

Orson Wells' F for Fake is a terrific film about an art forger, that explores concepts of art, authenticity, and value.

In the film, an artist forges works of art by famous artists and fraudulently sells them to museums. It's implied that the museums don't know they are forgeries or don't care. So why is a Picasso more valuable than a perfect reproduction of it?

I think the point is, it's all just perception, and greed.

Cryptography is a highly significant technology, but cryptocurrency and now NFT too often just smacks of a money making scheme, promoted by self-serving people who happen to own a lot of it.

A bit of a shot in the dark but I wonder if Lee Holloway had (has?) a latent vitamin B12 deficiency? Serum tests for B12 deficiency are notoriously unreliable so it may not have been detected unless other tests were performed.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can disrupt sleep patterns, can cause symptoms consistent with FTD (including brain atrophy), and the use of nitrous oxide in general anesthesia on someone suffering from B12 deficiency can result in devastating neurological effects.

Like I said, it's definitely a shot in the dark but it's definitely something to think about.
I described elected sheriffs, but, if you feel that police "local murder squads", I don't know what to tell you.

The core issue is they are paid your tax dollars, but you have very little input or control on what and how they do, and municipalities in general rely on the fact that moving away is high friction to retain citizens.

Unfortunately you cannot easily fire them, if they underperform.

>"Do not outsource the writing. Vetting good writers is difficult and time-consuming. They are also expensive. If you are just starting out, you probably do not have the time and the money to do it right."

Not sure I agree. Outsourcing is great IMO but you need 2 things;

1) Give them a solid brief on what you want. This take times but not as much as writing. And a bunch like KW research you need to do anyway before you would write.

2) Rewrite what they wrote after. Don't accept the article as finished, take it as a template to base your own off. Ask for a higher word count than you need and you can cull back content while adding more and rephrasing. At least for me I find it personally much faster re-writing an article that's been given to me than starting from scratch.

Particular for point 2 I find an efficient middle ground between writing and not.

This isn't an anti-AGI argument and it doesn't disprove humans. Humans have the same problem. It's harder to write a program to do a thing than it is to just do the thing.

It's appealing to think we can just make a program that learns programs and then use that to learn to do anything computable. But this is a well studied field and it turns out that when you generalize a learning problem that way you make the learning problem a lot harder.

The space of programs that could possibly.identify dogs in images is much much much larger than the space of images that contain dogs. The images are bounded by the number of pixels in the image times the color depth. What is the space of programs bounded by? 10TB? That's roughly 256^10000000000 programs. That's just a stupidly large number.

Obviously not every 10TB string is a valid program. You can reduce that number. But what current research in program synthesis tells us is that you can't reduce it as much as you might hope.

So the point is that, just like for humans, it's easier to learn to do a thing than it is to learn to write a program to do a thing.
Have you considered the possibility that the numbers they are reporting are accurate but meaningless? What exactly is "reach", anyway?
Such an idiotic statement. When every other country was suffering under scalpers buying up mask supplies at the beginning of the pandemic Taiwan, South Korea and some other countries actively took a hand in mask distribution. The result:

- cheaper access to masks for the general population

- no mask shortages in critical infrastructure such as hospitals or other health care institutions

- general better handling and health outcomes during the pandemic

Leave it to the Americans that would consider sound policy and good health outcomes stalinist or communist recipes.
As long as you're aware that you're trading wealth-inequality for perceived ecological gains, at least be honest and sell it that way.
There are only a few cryptocurrencies that have any significant adoption, and fungibility is fundamental to that value. If I exchange a bitcoin for $N, that validates the value of all the other bitcoins. And folks exchange large numbers of bitcoins for $N every day.

By definition, every non-fungible token is its own unique snowflake. There are new snowflakes made every day. Few ever trade, and the ones that do are probably wash trades.

Time to bring out the old CS Lewis quip:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

A big problem is that the moral busybodies who propose laws banning random things are the same moral busybodies who censor internet discussion.

> The most straightforwardly fair way to do it is a carbon budget.

And that kind of budget is just called a "budget". The resistance of a certain type of activist to using prices to allocate scarcity is going to doom us all if these activists end up setting policy. Prices force people to be honest about what's important and to make tiny trade-offs every day between disparate things. Ad-hoc bans are vulnerable to all sorts of political forces that all amount to people signaling false things about their preferences. Money doesn't have this problem.

There's a reason that there's this common phrase "put your money where your mouth is".
I feel like the have Stardew Valley either tapped into this or caused some of this trend.
It seems like it's you fighting, but that's only from your relative perspective, it is a windmill you are fighting, like Don Quixote. In terms of the grand scale, ecology exists on an equilibrium. When you shift that equilibrium and create an abundance of resources that weren't there before, the system will respond and attempt to consume that newfound abundance. Pests will consume available food and pathogens will spread to available hosts, if these things are allowed to happen.

This has happened to me in my garden just this season with looper caterpillars, grasshoppers, aphids, spider mites, and rats. I've practically opened a grocery store for them so I can't blame them, but in knowing that my directed change of the local ecology leads to this localized response of more aphids or whatever, I am able to take preventative measures to make my crop less attractive to interlopers (neem oil and bt in my case), and combat the response that happens from me shifting the ecological equilibrium by growing all these tasty plants from all over the world in my garden in an area where they wouldn't normally be found naturally. Maybe in your case combating your blight pathogen in the future means work making sure the soil is free of spores, planting practices that might avoid blight to a degree, or selecting hardier varieties that are better suited to your local conditions or resistant to blight if such cultivars are available. The battle becomes less like a fruitless effort (pardon the pun) and more like a game of chess when you start studying this stuff a little bit.

Thank you so much for writing this, you could easily be talking about my current company. I'm actually losing the battle against bureaucracy, and feeling pretty lost. Despite my long experience, the more I push back, the more I seem to reinforce the idea that I don't know what I'm doing - because I refuse to waste my time on bullshit. I'm the founder, and you'd think I'd have a say, but I don't. Yet I've been doing this for long enough to know that, at least, I'm less wrong than they think.

At least I'm not the only one to experience this! But I have no idea how to tackle it.

Uber pays drivers a substantial amount through bonuses which are categorized as marketing and advertising. Your claim that they could operate without marketing is saying Uber could operate without drivers. Without bonuses, they would lose a significant amount of driver supply, without driver supply, the rider experience is slow, when it’s slow - they lose customers.

Advertising is a core business expense for them needed to run the business.
Systems theory tells us that in large organizations nobody actually does what they say they do. For example, one person building a boat is a boat-builder. But nobody at General Dynamics Electric Boat can properly be said to be building boats (or ships).

Thus, in a large organization, you can only improve the ability of individuals to do what they actually do, which may or may not improve the ability to the organization to accomplish its nominal purpose.

Lower it compared to when? CO2 levels are much higher now than they were even 100 years ago. If we somehow managed to move CO2 levels back to 1950 levels is that really a problem?

Another problem. Say a given crop might do better with increased CO2 given all other factors remain unchanged. But that boost of CO2 from 300 ppm to 420 ppm also came with changes to the environment, so all other factors are not unchanged. OK, CO2 levels have gone up 35%, but if the likelihood of experiencing a rain-free period of more than 30 days in that region has doubled, having more CO2 isn't worth the cost.

*I made up the claim as an illustrative example. I'm sure there are myriad co-factors that come with the increase in CO2.
Unveil and pledge are great at restricting and effectively sandboxing processes a la a simpler version of Linux's SECCOMP. If you're using namespaces for process isolation or sandboxing, it can do the trick.

They're not a general replacement for Linux's namespaces, though. The only alternative on OpenBSD would be running the alternative environment in a VM, or running Linux in a VM and then using namespaces there.

FreeBSD comes closer with jails, but still doesn't match the ease of which you can use rootless namespaces to e.g. dump a tar file of a rootfs into a directory and "chroot" into it, all without root.

(the OpenBSD world will never implement this sort of thing by design, and it has merits, as user namespaces has created several privilege escalation vulnerabilities over the years, which is one reason some distros like RHEL/CentOS disable it on their kernels)

Well, some meat production is obviously a sustainable part of agriculture. There will always be some areas where the soil is too poor for anything but grazing and you'll always have some waste that you can feed to chicken, pigs, and ruminants. But these sustainable levels of animal husbandry are so far removed from the industrialized meat production that we're currently doing that they might as well be zero. Recall that just a generation or two ago meat was something you ate once a week if you lived in a fairly developed country. Today Americans eat more than a 100kg of meat per year.

As someone in the Gen X demographic who has never smoked, I've watched the anti-smoking campaigns and shift in attitudes towards smoking with interest - particularly how resistant smokers were to initially giving up smoking.

I feel like eating meat is going to be my generations equivalent of smoking. Intellectually, I agree that eating meat is bad for the environment, cruel to animals (esp industrial farming) etc ... but I can't see myself giving up eating meat.

That's only the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid. If the singleton has methods that perform actual work asynchronously and different threads are hammering on it, all kinds of issues come up. Of course a seasoned developer is going to acticipate this and write the needed infrastructure, but a newbie is not. It can be better if different threads have their own worker objects with their own state for example.
