Hey folks!

I built Echo Prof (echoprof.com) for mobile (iOS/Android). It's an app for studying that you can talk with. In a nutshell, it uses spaced repetition, multi-lingual speech synthesis, and multi-lingual speech recognition to reduce the effort you need to study languages.

I think lots of people would like the app if they knew it existed (evidence is that Anki community is large, Duolingo community is large).

I've been coding it for a couple years now, and I think I'm at a point where I can't really take the app much further on my own. Does anyone have any advice for finding a teammate or part-owner? It would be really helpful if I could find someone who could do a bit of marketing and maybe some design work.

> I still don't think this opportunity explains the higher rate, at least not a 3-5x difference.

I didn't say that it explains the data at all. I'm just saying it's the statistical outcome one would expect given no other factors.

> I would think that socioeconomic factors are the bigger issue, and that some predictors or correlated metrics might be more common in cities.

Yes. That's entirely the point.

> I would expect the difference to be negligible as the exposure becomes an eventual given.

I wouldn't expect it to be negligible at all. You're more likely to have more frequent contact and with a much broader selection of people the over a long period of time, creating something akin to a network effect. On a given day, someone in rural Wyoming might come in contact with far more people than I'd come in contact with in my day. However, over longer periods of time, the average number of interactions and the aggregate number of people they interact with is far more likely to be dwarfed by mine. That significantly increases the chance for interpersonal crimes of all sorts, including murder.

> You can live in a small town and know hundreds or thousands of the people in the small town(s) near you. Everyone knows everyone, being in your neighbor's business, and can lead to a lot of gossip, opportunity/drama.

I've lived in small town settings, so I don't deny you can't end up knowing a lot of people. One might easily have more close friends or family than someone in a larger urban settings (the opposite might also be true). However, it is unlikely (though not impossible) that you'd come in to contact with more people, and come in contact with them more regularly, than someone in a denser urban environment.

Keep in mind there's a difference between specific traits and circumstances an aggregate statistical data. You might have more people you interact with in a small town setting, what's the aggregate set of interactions for the community? Does the community as a whole have a broader population and more frequent set of interactions than in a more densely populated community? Particularly when you eliminate interactions that don't afford much opportunity for murder (like interactions online), those numbers start to drop off much more rapidly, and it becomes all numerically impossible for them to be comparable.

Call me an elitist, but I'm a big fan of well thought out languages built from the ground up by smart people like Java and C#. PHP is more of a hodgepodge of functionality glued together. However, I can appreciate PHP's simple way of getting server-side processing up and running.

I've wondered this as well. Everyone seems to rave about it, but I run my own wireguard and don't find it too hard to add devices to the network. I think maybe you can use it to expose certain things to the internet easily? I don't have a lot of trouble doing that either. I've scrolled around their marketing site for a few minutes before and I just don't really get what all the fuss is about. I'm sure I'm missing something.

I will say, and I think this is right, the proposition here isn't a VPN like Nord which you'd use to hide your traffic from your ISP or masquerade into a different geolocation, but rather a VPN for connecting to your own devices.

It's worth noting that this is actually a rate target, not the rate. Previously, the rate floated between 0% and 0.25% based on a market. Now, it is going to be between 0.25% and 0.5%.
The heavy usage of 3rd party tools does sound about right wrt what I've heard get used to vastly expand apps after they've got a minimum viable product people actually want to use though, particularly the usage of CDNs to reduce latency. However I haven't heard much about the details regarding ssr/issr vs ssg though, so if you have any reading that elaborates more on it I'd love to take a look.

Additionally, taking this scaled t-shirt app approach as a template can you share any insight into how a more complicated platform (eg Youtube, Amazon) would further leverage such in-house/3rd party services to most efficiently use their resources (ie at the fully mature platform stage)?

It seems interest rates lower during recessions. Right now we are already low and are raising which seems to be a different pattern. Is lowering interest rates a method to overcome a recession?

The identity politics of today supports the notion that a 13 year old has the right to go down into irreversible paths if they have been brainwashed by the internet that being trans is cool.

While there is some potential for over-reach, and a kind of stereotyping of Chinese academics, this is not without basis. A lot of them have abused their welcome, and done actions against USA - all while funded by US taxpayer. The Chinese govt has many people in its pay, some willing, likely most unwilling and coerced. But a spying operation is an offense.
It is "p" for pallette IIRC. Same as in Chrome devtools and others.

In a development context, I do not want platform-specific quirks. Consistency is really important for me otherwise it is a jarring context switch when e.g. copy-paste changes when moving between OSes (which I do hundreds of time a day - laptop is Mac, developer workstation is in the office and is Linux, so I remote desktop into it for code, but "office productivity" stuff is on the mac). MacOS is really irritating in this regard (different keyboard layout for fundamental things (copy paste etc) compared to Linux/win, different physical key layout compared to every other physical keyboard in the UK, different functions for home/end compared to Linux/win, different position of window controls compared to Linux/win, different position of menu bar compared to Linux/win etc)

I look on with confusion when I see people ranting about wanting more native UI elements - I want the opposite! VS Code & Chrome look and act identically on Linux and windows and Mac (more or less) and that's how I want it to stay! And indeed I would encourage further abstractions away from OS-specific allowances (e.g. position of window controls is still wrong on Mac)

I don't like that "core of basically uncooked pasta" that makes something al dente either, but if I cooked pasta for 35 minutes it would begin to dissolve.

I'm partial to mushy pasta myself, but even 15 minutes is plenty for anything except the very thickest shape pastas. Either you like your pasta to be eaten entirely without chewing, or you live where the water boils under 200F.

There are several mentions of female geniuses who were developed by aristocratic tutoring, including Émilie du Châtelet, Ada Lovelace, Hannah Arendt, and Virginia Woolf. It is certainly true that historically, girls were given this benefit less often than boys, so we should expect fewer historical female geniuses than male geniuses if we believe the author's hypothesis.

Jets do this regularly over the Colorado River and various, otherwise desolate gathering places around AZ. I've witnessed such shenanigans a dozen or so times over the last 3 decades. One jet distracts onlookers while another sneaks up to buzz low over the deck(or, perhaps it's just incidental to their training Ops, IDK). These maneuvers are tests of skill, technology & amusement.
I mostly agree with your take, but I'll pick on this sentence:

> Given the huge benefits of a Dyson Swarm and the fact that it seems to require no exotic materials and no more physics it looks increasingly likely that we are very alone in the Milky Way

The fact that we can come up with the idea of a Dyson Swarm doesn't mean that not finding any in our observations results in we "being alone in the galaxy". It's also Main Character Syndrome, in a way.

Even discarding the idea of alien life being so different from ours that we wouldn't recognize it even if we were looking right at it, and assuming a "human like civilization", it's perfectly possible for there being unknown physics to us that make the idea of a Dyson Swarm unnecessary. Using our own civilization as an example, in the 1950s and 60s we did all of our data broadcasting over radio waves, and built huge powerful antennas that screamed about our presence to the wider universe. People then thought "well, if we're broadcasting all this stuff, where are the alien broadcasts? why can't we hear them? we must be alone in the galaxy". Fast-forward to now. Our current tech allows pretty much all communications to be over cables, and we're being much less wasteful with our emmiting; our radio emissions are diminishing over time.

So, not a century has passed, and already newer technology has proven our assumptions of alien life wrong. Why would it be any different with Dyson Swarms? You can't know how more advanced technology looks like, you can only extrapolate with what we have now.

So I'm still struggling to get this. Why can't you just directly design and implement sans copywrited material? How is that different than designing without copywrited material then having someone else an employee B do the implementation without the copywrited material. Does this method somehow let you use copywrited material? How would engineer B even know about the copywrited material in that case if they are supposedly 'blind'?

No, the license means exactly what it says.

An open source project (in most licenses) offers zero assurance of it being usable for production and that's what it means. If you want to use it for production you need to either (a) do whatever evaluations you feel necessary to ensure it will be stable for production for your needs, or (b) pay the authors for a signed support contract so they take on that responsibility.
You won't get it back, sorry. Even as a paid Google user they have the worst support I've ever encountered.

Any chance you have a source for the bicycle tire story? I'm keen to read more about it (and similar stories).
The article I read said it will be limited to adding 2 subaccounts, and those 2 subaccounts will also be taking up some of your device slots (4 on the premium $20/mo plan) I presume. So if there are already a few profiles in the household, it doesn't seem like a slam dunk to add 2 more, even for $10.

I share my account with people outside my household. With this latest news and the recent fee hike, I switched from the $20/mo premium plan to $15.50/mo standard. If it were just me, I'd probably cancel it. I've watched a few good shows, maybe 5 or 6 for the year, but at $240 it means I'm paying $40 a movie, which is dumb. I can find 5-6 shows a year on PBS.

Browsing banned posts on Twitter wouldn't be effective at all. Twitter openly and freely allows content that most of us would find abhorrent (racism, nazism, violent threats) and regularly ban content that is misleading and dumb and dangerous but not offensive at all (covid is fake, vaccines are more dangerous than the disease, etc)
I have to wonder how your pricing model of "views" is going to fare when Vimeo is dumping what they consider to be their worst customers onto you. Everything I know about how networks pay each other for this would suggest that you're charging a blended rate for a good whose cost is highly variable[0]. So either...

- Vimeo is very wrong about how they calculate their bandwidth costs per user

- Vimeo doesn't have the scale necessary for peering and is thus getting a raw deal on bandwidth that you've managed to avoid somehow

- Vimeo is actually correct and you're about to become the next niche online creator subsidy vehicle

I'm not sure Vimeo is miscalculating, at least in the specific case listed in the article. If the creator in question were to self-host their own video on AWS or Fastly, they'd be paying about what Vimeo wants to charge them. If you're uploading very long videos (multiple hours) and have a use case (art tutorials) that demands watching at 1080p or 4K, then even a few hundred views will breach 10TB+ of bandwidth per video.

I have no idea how you guys would be even breaking even, at $59/mo plus $1 for every 1k views over 50k. I don't know what your bandwidth arrangements are, and I suspect you are not at liberty to explain them. But Vimeo is almost certainly larger than you, so they almost certainly have better bandwidth deals than you.

Of course, this one case could also just be an outlier, and perhaps Vimeo is hosing everyone else with high-margin custom plans. But I doubt this is the case.

[0] IP transit is typically charged by bytes sent, and peering costs are typically some large fixed cost to get a pipe of a specific capacity to a given network. A "view" can be anywhere from 1 to 50 Mbps depending on quality, and if you're paying for transit then your costs are also proportional to the length of that view.

Censorship takes a lot of different forms imo. Self-censorship usually takes place because one or more other forms of censorship are already at play.

There's authority based censorship, like the banned books list. People legitimately believed that Catcher in the Rye caused serial killers at one point and definitely cast judgement on those willing to admit they'd read it. At the time, reading the book could cost you in social capital which I think is what PG is alluding to. From what I read, PG just wishes we didn't exercise moral judgement - which I get. I came from a religious background that weaponized their morals for ostracization or for hate, meanwhile, nobody within the system recognized they were doing that because they were blinded by the righteousness of their morals. In that way, morals are sticky webs.

My curiosity drifts in a different way - assuming you can't rid the world of moral addiction - why were the people who believe such foolish morals (like banning books) not punished post facto? Folks with a laundry list of morals will often use the word "consequences", but where are their consequences when this moral falls out of style and has senselessly ruined lives?
This is more evidence for why I think the "Vulnerable World Hypothesis" is not only a real framework, but that it describes the most eminent danger to society. It's far more dangerous than nuclear MAD, in my opinion.

We're entering into a future where average educated people will be able to synthesize biochemical agents, delivery mechanisms, viruses, and more. I've thought up half a dozen low-hanging fruit that I think anyone could build today. You can probably do the same if you think about it.

You don't even have to attack humans. Our society is dependent on a lot of assumptions.

And just as VWH states, I don't think it can be defended against. It's scary.
So how come you can independently re implement an API but if you try and do that with a hard good and slap a ford mustang badge you reimplemented independently onto it you get sued? Further more this is software. Why can't the team looking at the source code just write up the new code rather than write up a spec? Seems like such a useless performance considering you could just run a diff or something to catch plaigerism.

Lowering interest rate to stimulate economy, increasing interest rate to lower inflation. Problem is we've got no room left to lower and asset prices have never been higher.
Yes, because it increases the money supply. We are supposed to tighten when things are good by raising rates. At this point they need to raise rates to pull money out of the system. Because with covid, not only did we cut rates, we put in a HUGE amount of money and that was really irresponsible. And now we are seeing the repercussions with inflation lowering the value of the dollar.
