Thank you. These keywords (Kaldi, Dragonfly) put me on the right track and I found nerd-dictation [1] which is easy to use and hackable. Perhaps not useful for your programming purposes, but I need something for writing prose and it's a decent start for that.

100 companies 100k each gives you 10 mill. Just the return on that on any meager performing stock can fully fund 1 SV dev, indefinitely. Or, you can withdraw a couple mil from the fund per year, fully fund the entire project for 3-5 years or so. Investment is just a way to stretch out the fund.

There are books that have been around for 500+ years. They’re probably more durable than websites at this point.
More effort was put into expressing meaning when people weren’t constantly stimulated. There’s still meaning today, but I can’t help but feel it’s shallow and unappreciated by reader and writer alike.
I've never had a slow cooker pork shoulder that was nearly as good as one smoked, sous vide, slow-roasted, braised, or pressure cooked.

Also pork shoulder is great! It's one of my favorite meats. It takes a long time to cook (because you have to render the collagen), but it's delightful.

China has a policy of making everything in-house and already requires exit visas for its people. Brain drain can't happen if you are not allowed to leave.
It seems to be a combination of authoritarian personality and a disconnection from physical reality. This is a mob that was formed online and mostly consists of privileged, coddled minds. That's why they are so fragile and equate mere disagreement with violence.
So all of that is possible in today's economic model. You don't need to make capital investment illegal for that to happen. Looking forward to the next crowdfunded carbon capture worker cooperative. Heck the SEC just raised the crowdfunding limit for startups to $5M so time will tell.

I do find it interesting that your social circle is willing to bet their entire net worth on a risky startup where the reward is a salary cut in the worker cooperative + some savings account level interest. The "funding" bit is the key. You waived over it with crowdfunding, but now it's like buying lottery tickets with low payout. Pay $20 for a 20% chance at $40 in 10 years! You'll make the world a better place!
Not applicable, I just need introductions to people who might want to buy what I sell, and a lawyer to protect me.

I worked for a startup in the late 1990s that had a reseller agreement with Vignette. If I recall Vignette was going for something like a million dollars a site license. I took one look at it and ended up rolling our own TCL-based CMS in case the Vignette deal went south. Well I left, Vignette went south and the company ended up using my CMS.

Anyway, we could keep going, but we've been at this all morning so it's probably best to let it lie. I feel comfortable I've made my point well enough, and I think you've made yours. I think we're unlikely to make further progress in a low bandwidth media.

I dunno, maybe if/when I write the book I dream of I'll be able to address more of your points in more detail and with more data and you'll find that more convincing than I can be reactively writing forum posts. Until then, I've appreciated the dialog.
This would completely close markets to new entrants.

As an inventor I can't financially hope to support a device for a human lifetime and break even, much less profit.

Right to repair and allowing these things to be legally opened and hacked by the end user is the right way, not burdening every manufacturer with unrealistic support laws.

For an example, look at military equipment costs. 20 year support is often built into those to give you an idea of the cost of this. Spoiler: things will cost 10-20x what you think they will for a business to hope to profit.

Really boring answer: Make provisions for it in your will, which likely will mean creating some sort of charitable foundation with the mission of doing this. If the personal page is useful and/or hosts some creative work keeping that alive can be the entire goal of it, otherwise the foundation might have to do some actual charity and the preservation of the page would be a quirk in the statutes.

Runbox Email – Possible DDoS Attack
Blackberry Cell Phones and Email Accounts Soon to Be Useless
I've thought about this. Keep it completely static, no back-end server required, minimal front-end javascript, mostly plain HTML.

The key, as many others have said, is to make it easy to copy/archive (on computers, archive.org, etc). A simple set of linked pages (with graphics in widely-used formats, eg JPEG/PNG) is your best bet.

What the stone tablets crowd here misses is that a lot of cultural production today that's very important--major artworks, political speeches, movies, court records--is electronic. This means that by necessity, unless you think that entire corpus will get discarded, future societies are going to develop archival systems capable of indexing and decoding all this information.

Also - storage capacity has grown a lot, and that's a trend I'm betting will continue. Today, entire libraries' worth of books and magazines can be mass-duplicated and carried around on disk drives or USB sticks. What does this trend look like in 500 years?

I also think using open systems and formats has a better chance of survival than proprietary ones, if only because there are more reference implementations for how to convert bits into something people can understand/experience. There's a lot of important stuff written in .doc (MS Word) but my money's on HTML or ASCII, or even PDF if you want long-term survival.

All Model S did support that capability early on. Because of reports about Tesla on fire Tesla added a shield under the car that made hot swapping no longer possible.

The reality is, as a company they had X amount of capital to solve long distance driving. It was clear pretty quickly that Superchargers was far better and more scalable technology. When they started with Model S they were not yet sure what the better strategy was.

Model 2 is literally a name something that fans made up. Tesla is internally working on a cheaper car then Model 3 (obously) but they have not talked about it more then 'we are working on it')

Meetup is key for discoverability. Both because Meetup is where people actively go to look for something, and because they may incidentally see your group/event while doing something else on Meetup. There's nothing else that gives a group local findability quite like Meetup. That's what you're really paying for, although agreed that the price is an obstacle.

Also agreed that migrating to Facebook usually doesn't work. In any group, there's a quarter or third or so who refuse to use FB, and that tends to kill your critical mass.
Places to Find Illustrations for Your Designs
Perhaps, but this is the second article by Doctorow this week.
I've toyed with the idea of putting money into a trust and having the executors of the trust use the money to maintain stuff like this.

It's more of an institutional solution than a technical one, but I'm personally more comfortable with an institution lasting 500 years than an unmaintained piece of hardware or software.

It's the same strategy used by museums--they take a grant from somewhere (from government, public, or private entities) and use that money to retain expertise and resources required to preserve stuff like the Mona Lisa or a dinosaur skeletons for future generations.

Cory Doctorow is ignorant of economics and competition policy. It’s frustrating to see his thoughts shared here so often.

There is no credible economic theory of firm “power seeking”. What’s more, you don’t need such a theory to explain what’s going on here.

If you want to explain why Google paid so much for Motorola, you can do so via the various defects in intellectual property law.

All large firms are at least occasionally involved in patent litigation, frequently with patent trolls (though sometimes with large competitors too). This is familiar enough to everyone on this site. For Google this was a defensive acquisition, but a defense against frivolous litigation. There is no need to invent some theory of firm “power seeking” to make the case.
Here's what I mean by distract: all of the protesting, all of the comments about the protesting, the entire edifice of cultural activism and reactionary counter-activism, is operating on a level that's totally disconnected from helping anyone.
the model that i got 20x on is very simple - just a couple of convs and relus - it's for edge detection on a pseudo-embedded platform (jetson) - but the wins from cuda graphs are from two things: complete elimination of kernel individual launch times and complete elimination of allocations for intermediate tensors, which dominate runtime for small kernel sizes (e.g. batch size = 1).

If they don't know what X or Y is called or how to do some procedure that only low-on-the-totem-pole people do, that's fine—if they've got the rest of this, then they'll surely know people we can ask/interview for those parts.

- At least enough sales skills to get the folks from the first point to fund us OR to make some useful introductions OR to grease some wheels.

Moreover, given that the Steam Deck is essentially a PC, any investment in the Deck in drivers, APIs, desktop environments, display manager (Valve have invested in KDE Plasma/Wayland and Gamescope), native game compatibility, compatibility layers (applies to all software, not just games) is also an investment in desktop Linux as a whole. Even if we are just limiting it to games, having more games on Linux makes the platform more viable for people who want to use their computer for gaming.

This isn't even mentioning how much has moved to either web or cross-platform electron apps in the last 10 years (which includes Teams, Spotify, Discord, Youtube, VSCode and others)

Actually you can run pretty much all Microsoft Office on Linux - the big ones that people still have trouble with are Adobe Creative suite.

I've been following the various teams working on halting or reversing aging. They are making great progress but sadly are not producing anything that can be commercially acquired yet. There are human trials on some of the methods being used on specific organs but nothing being tested on the entire body yet as far as I know. If you know of intravenous clinical trials resetting the epigenetic methylation body-wide, I would like to know. I believe they are still trying to find the balance that does not lead to tumors.

> It will never be the year of the Linux desktop (and that's totally OK!) and poorly-written articles like this do nothing to help change that.

The “year” already happened, I don’t know when specifically. We are years into Linux on the desktop. The idea was to provide a perfectly usable DE on Linux and comparable software for the every day user. Which now has several options and a plethora of software. Lots of people run Linux desktops on the daily. Is it mainstream? No, but no one actually cares about that because to get to that point you need some giant exodus migration from every platform to Linux…it’s impossible. So what’s possible for desktop Linux in a practical sense? That it’s available to install and use and is supported. So it’s here and no one cares that there isn’t a big giant annual release with lots of media attention crooning over how awesome the new OS menu is. Instead it’s people working and developing on Linux.

I’m sorry for all those people who can’t live without their niche OS features and software, but it also tells me those people have no real technical skill or understanding anyways. Which is fine that software plane exists too.
Hot market right now -- have a (public) readme / repo / anything?
It's actually hard for me to think of any consumer driven industry where that isn't the case: cars, fashion, fitness & tech all have brands that come with a significant premium.
Not only that, they don't do any checksum checks either, and seem to not even publish checksums.

I don't know if the decay is linear or exponential with a long tail, but I assume solar panels don't fail outright unless they experience a short circuit or extreme temperature swings. Instead their output progressively declines. I bet a very large solar panel in the shade will last a very long time.
This makes a false equivalency between no unions or decades old, powerful, public sector unions.

Between those two ranges, the following nuance is important:

- will a union of $15/hr Amazon employees, in aggregate, have the same power in the short term as a union of police or firefighters.

- mid-term, will those union bosses for Amazon become as powerful as the PD/FD/teachers union bosses?

- Are there lessons learned from when a private sector union like the Teamsters under Hoffa got out of control?

The answers to all of those, and likely more, are necessary to evaluate the outcomes of letting Amazon unionize. And from there, ya interesting discussions start - well, we do use Amazon for a lot. What if the local warehouse strikes? And so on.

Another way to evaluate it is the gut feeling about this: when an Amazon contractor sprints to your door, drops off a package at 8pm, apologizes for "being late," and sprints away to the next apartment.
It is. If you examine the proto indo european pantheon you will find that the many gods are merely archetypes from early societies everyday life. Religion exists as stories to guide the human experience and is the cultural tradition of tens of millennia. The difference between god and man was intentionally blurred.

>I genuinely have no idea how Apple secured 5nm so early (and blocked other customers from getting a piece until 2022), I have to imagine that it was a last-minute decision they pushed out to TSCM, judging from their response.

I would not be at all surprised if they laid the groundwork for this partnership back in 2015 or even earlier. The only reason Apple dual-sourced the A9 was because TSMC didn't have the capacity to deliver the full requirement, but Apple had already been trying to get off Samsung for years.

Apple has a long track record of early, heavy capital investment in core technology manufacturing capacity and long term contracts with suppliers. This serves the dual strategic purposes of securing exclusive access to new tech, and driving down the long term costs of that tech. They did this with retina displays, in that case Apple literally owned the manufacturing equipment operated by Sharp.

In order to build out fab capacity TSMC needed long term high volume guaranteed orders. Apple delivered that. There was nothing last minute about any of this, I think it's always been the plan.
