> This sense of multiple applications is what I think people may or may not mean when they use the term "creator economy", but I think it fits nicely. People argue that interoperability of assets is useless because "no two games would ever want to share an item, developers don't want that". But another angle to this is that creators can give utility to a single asset across a wide variety of applications for their fans.

I suggest you read "How Virtual Worlds work" by Raph: https://www.playableworlds.com/news/riffs-by-raph:-how-virtu...

All 5 parts (more focused on the metaverse topic than NFT, but applicable to both) show exactly why interoperability is a pipe dream by non-game developers and has zero basis in reality. Not just because game developers don't want decentralization but because even simple stuff is hard, and even if you could solve the technical aspects you can't solve the game design aspects of it.
> but the quality of the service is rather poor with very long waiting lists, stubborn doctors who don't want to perform certain tests (as simple as a Vitamin D or a testosterone test) so they don't have to justify it to the insurance.

That's exactly like US healthcare if you aren't either a wealthy private-pay client or someone with top-flight private insurance; we just pay twice as large a share of GDP and even a higher multiple per capita to have the same normal experience and many more people uninsured than any other developed economy (and we've only recently through the ACA, gotten it so the that your top-flight insurance plan wouldn't look to retroactively cancel your insurance when you got an expensive-to-treat condition, leaving you uninsured and uninsurable.)

Frankly, Toptal rates are not good enough if you know what you're doing / are a senior. They seem to take way too much. There are lots of agencies, in Europe at least, that specialize in freelancer staffing and take a much lower cut -- depends on an agency of course and how transparent they are, but you should be able to find one taking 10€/h and passing on the rest to you.

Even better is to have direct clients but that's then a lot more time consuming.
How about you? What's your solution?
I'm glad they provided documentation for all thirty parameters.
It is very constructive because it points to the actual root of the problem so we can begin to solve it.

Laws and regulation that prevent cronyism are the solution.

I happened to be reading John Wilkins' introduction to "An Essay Towards A Real Character and a Philosophical Language" [1] yesterday, he mentions that Messalla Corvinus wrote a treatise on the letter S, though it seems we only have the title, "Liber de S. Lit[t]era" [2]. I wonder if Knuth had this in mind.

[1] https://archive.org/details/AnEssayTowardsARealCharacterAndA... , last paragraph, he also mentions other books on letters and parts of letters.

Different take: Interpreting that comment as being somehow mean and against autistic people is dishonest, judgemental, and frankly evokes a sense of taking advantage of a situation to promote a personal goal.

The discussion is effectively de-railed, the person's comment demeaned and substance distracted from, and here we all are, forced to discuss this topic whereas 100% likely that the person that used the term "autistic" is neither against autistic individuals, isn't going to discriminate against actual autistic individuals, and is a decent human being that hasn't hurt anyone. So what have we accomplished?

This is very cool. A few quick questions:

1.) Would it be possible to buy the model and integrate/host it on my own machines?

2.) Would you consider making solutions for embedded ML in the future?

I am working on a fairly ambitious project. It is in the stages where we are nearing the end, and the tofu is getting firmer.

I had an issue, last week, where a bug was caused by an omission I left from an SDK that I wrote, maybe, eight years ago. It was a simple thing. I didn't add a "RefCon" to a server interaction, so I couldn't attach a reference context to a callback. This is a classic pattern, that I've used for decades, and I have no idea why the hell I didn't add it to this SDK. I suspect that it might be that the SDK was for a fairly wide audience, and I probably thought that they wouldn't understand it. So here I am, paying the price for underestimating my user base (which, so far, is Yours Truly).

Anyway, the "fix" was to implement a semaphore, and treat the call as blocking, which is awful. I really need to go back and change the SDK, but that's a fairly fundamental change, that I can't afford, right now (the SDK tofu is rock-hard).

Such is the life of a shipping developer...
I'm already on the decline sad to say.

I used to joke about Nokogiri dependency troubles for many years, but to be honest the experience in macOS lately has been straightforward for me.
You're responding to a question about suicide with a completely different article about opioid deaths, and the article itself attributes those deaths to the still-increasing substitution of fentanyl, which has nothing to do with lockdowns. Yet you're talking about "striking statistics" when suicides did decline.

So... a new 22k deaths by overdose, plus 2.5k new vehicular deaths, minus 1.7k suicides, vs 522k excess deaths. There were a total of 45,855 recorded deaths by suicide. ALL suicides, ALL drug overdoses, and ALL traffic fatalities TOGETHER do not add up to half of the excess deaths. You're spewing complete bullshit.

Usually I'm cringing about what I said 5 seconds ago.
Pretty much every form of government/economy has cronyism problems. Crony capitalism, crony socialism, crony communism, crony dictatorships, etc. all exist.

It's human nature to want to help your friends before helping strangers, but that attitude leads to corruption when people in positions of power practice it repeatedly.
Any system is not devoid of a system of morals and ethics.

The issue we have today is one where the elite are completely devoid of any morals, or they have convinced themselves that they are acting morally in some fashion.

This is the issue with any system, whether it be capitalism, socialism, fascism, or communism. A select group of individuals eventually rise to the top, and they work to manipulate the system to their advantage -- just look at the conspiracies that were occurring immediately after Hitler and Stalin's deaths. Watch closely when Kim Jong inevitably passes, and there is a power void in North Korea. History repeats itself time and time again.

We, in general, are a morally bankrupt people, and everyone has been conditioned to act in one own's best interest. "I'm gonna get mine" because everyone believes the system is corrupt and that's how you have to behave to survive, but what people don't understand is it is the people that are corrupt, and this behavior simply perpetuates the corruption.

Too many people think it's a system issue. This place too much faith in structures created by man. This is an issue of hearts and minds. Always has been.
We think the number of use-cases for ML is going to grow drastically as 1) ML state-of-the-art continues to get better; and 2) Developers realize how accessible it can be. More problems will be solved by a "machine-learned function" rather than imperatively coded functions. Taking it one step at a time, in 5-10 years we'd love to be the default place the developers go to solve their ML problems. This would mean that we go beyond image/text classification to a broader set of input and output types.

Thanks for the feedback on the UI! None of us are UI experts and we agree that it isn't great. We're working to make it better.

When I joined I was given free rein to rewrite it in the technologies I thought would suit best. It's been two years, at a stretch I'm about 20% of the way there.

This is the danger of rewrites (assuming this was not actually greenlit as a 10 year project)!

No. It's still a liability, even if the "payments" haven't come due.

Characterising all "debt" as negative is rather strange, I will agree.
JS is already a popular language for "DevOps" cloud scripting. Deno would be a better fit for these kinds of use cases for the same reason Go is a good fit and there's already market share.

Well, If a baseball player signs a cap of yours, then that cap suddenly has a value, however there is no way to say that you "own" a signature/cap pair. If it hangs on your wall, then you own it. But I can go buy the same cap, copy the player's signature and hang that fake autographed cap on my wall.

NFT is pretty much the same thing, imho.

I find the concept of a technology that allows the transfer of ownership of digital artifacts fascinating. However, NFTs in their current form do not allow that. They are just systems that logs who "owns" the token for an item. This is quite useful for proving that a physical item (e.g. a piece of art) is genuine (or in fact proving that the person who is selling owns at that point of time a genuine version of the item), however that does not work for digital arts for the following reasons.

What does it mean to own a digital item? I think that a minimal definition should include a unique access to it/or its capabilities: people who own the item are the only ones who can access it. Clearly, the current system does not allow this (everyone can access a picture sold as an NFT). Moreover, it is not clear whether such a system can be built for digital items.

In fact, it seems to me, that a system that transfers the ownership of digital items can only work if the items cannot be copied; if I buy a digital item, copy it, then sell it, I still own it after selling it, which means I did not transfer it.

This brings the question, what are the properties of items that cannot be copied (or are hard to be copied)? Complex systems could be such examples. For example, neural networks where inferring the network is extremely hard to be done from input and output. Assume that the item is a neural network that can generate a voice of an artificial character, or an interactive 3d model of an avatar. If, the system gives me exclusive access to the network, I would be able to use it to generate the voice or the 3d model of my avatar in a metaverse, however, I would not have access to the code that generates this data, only to the results of this simulation.

TL;DR A digital ownership system (like NFT) is only meaningful for items that cannot be copied. These can only be complex systems where the ownership scheme gives access to the output of the system and not its totality (think voice generation system)

Reminder: this is why traditional Linux distributions exist.
It is kind of mentioned in the article but I think a lot of developers don't realise that there isn't just good code and bad code, there is a whole spectrum and the position on this spectrum is dictated by skill, experience, time pressure, money pressure and shifting requirements (assuming you ever had any!).

We pine for the perfect green field where all things are good but there are probably zero companies where all developers are expert, where the solutions are all unique and unambiguous, where the trade-off between maintainability/performance and speed of coding are all completely set in stone, where nothing has ever changed in strategy, framework, etc. where no framework update has ever broken something and needed some dirty hack to work around it, where you don't have managers come and go who are not 100% helpful or useful.

So better to look forwards always. Don't try and fix what is there unless it needs changing to move forwards. A lot of the code I have wanted to rewrite in my current company will be toast in the next 2 years as we are writing new apps so just don't lose sleep over it.

"Banning" bitcoin is interesting since it basically bans factory mining compared to individuals mining. Because:

The high power consumption used by a heavy gamer (CPU + GPU) is easily indistinguishable and probably higher than a plain old individual miner since you would have CPU + GPU + Peripherals running.

And since there are 1000+ X more gamers than miners, the Bitcoin Inquisitors will have a hard time finding the needle in that haystack by simply examining your electricity bills.
I can’t think of a single other video player competing on macOS UX adherence over the last 20 years, source/name a couple of these many others so we can see how they died. Because it would die.

Yes, if IINA is no longer modern, it will cease being modern.

If IINA doesn’t adhere to modern macOS UX standards, but advertises that it does, there will be a compelling reason not to use it.

In general, macOS apps require constant updates every year in order to run on new versions, period. The idea that an app that competes on UX would continue implementing updates solely in the non ui realm and as a result fall out of current macOS UX practices year after year is unlikely, to say the least. It’ll just die normally.
Don't worry! Cronyism can be a symptom of too much public power, too! Did you think that Chinese firms thrive on merit, or access to cheaper-than-free capital supplied by political connections?
Corruption (Cronyism) is the route of issues in ALL economic systems (much worse in other systems such as autocracies, socialism, authoritarian socialism, etc). So let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater (see US scientific accomplishments in the last decade).

What needs to happen in the US to help right the ship is that the legal system needs to be tightened up and money needs to be significantly taken out of politics, the K street rotating door between government needs to be severed, and public wages (i.e. being a judge or public attorney) need to be competitive to private wages to ensure we have talent working to uphold the lack of corruption.

This wave of pro socialism is (a) greatly misunderstood by the majority of the people peddling it and (b) is a vote against the current situation without understanding what the situation they are about to jump into looks like (always thinking their are greener pastures).
You start out well with the first three paragraphs, but I don't get how you can decide it will 'probably' leave the Earth, let alone with such a high degree of confidence as saying 'probably'.

Somebody else posted the overdoses, I think I stand corrected on the suicides. They're down overall, but up among adolescents and I think my brain extrapolated that out to a general increase. My apologies on the bad data!

I'm slightly suspicious of the claim that they fell, because it flies in the face of common sense and historical trends, but weirder things have happened. It just seems strange that amidst a period where people are self-reporting increases in mental health issues that the suicide rate would drop.

Suicide hotline calls were way up in 2020 [1] (Crisis Text Line was up 40%, SAMHSA hotline was up circa 500%). Major depressive disorder was up 28% in 2020, and anxiety disorders were up 26%. [2]

Perhaps there's a confounding factor here like telehealth increasing the availability of and participation in mental health treatment. Or maybe the abundance of death made people cherish life more.

The cynic in me wonders if the data was massaged to maintain support for lockdowns, but I don't have anything to substantiate that, so it's not a declaration of fact.

A great book, but I would love to see additional studies really breaking it down. My gut feeling is that this effect curves. At a certain size of selectorate you switch from direct influence, with linear costs, to indirect methods of influence, with much better scaling properties (eg. Uber and California Proposition 22).

While it becomes expensive to outright buy people, it also becomes prohibitively expensive to educate, and an ability to outspend with emotional appeals becomes more important than having a cogent argument.

For the political experts out there, what would happen if we stopped allowing lobbying? That seems to me like the most obvious source of corruption.

To augment the other two responses here with some anecdata -- yes, storms would knock off my geostationary satellite connection in ways I didn't fully understand (it might just have been a huge bump in attempted utilisation for all I could tell at the consumer level).
