I've been working solo or in small dev teams (<5 people) and with design teams on internal tools to streamline business workflows, mainly in the architecture field (administrative applications, media generation, data centralization & presentation to onboard new hires) since 2015, and am more than comfortable collecting requirements, speccing scopes, keeping an eye on design iterations, then building and maintaining the given tool. So leading the technical side and interfacing with everyone part of a project. My current tech stack is my current favorite but I'm keen on learning new languages or software design choices.

I would like to be a part of a bigger tech team for a change. Most projects are private but I can demo them if we feel it could be interesting.

If my nickname sounds familiar, maybe you saw it on other optics-making forums ?
KU060 costs a nice sum of £4,529.10 on Mouser (out of stock of course)
Could we make `4DWW` - Four Day Work Week - an explicit tag?

Four Day Work Week is the most alluring feature for a job for me (besides 100% remote). It's the only feature that could pull me away from current employment. I imagine there are others interested in the same. Thank you.
Some sites like Capterra or TrustRadius will occasionally have pricing data about various products.

If you go through a third party vendor or MSP, they may also be able to give you more realistic pricing data based on existing customers.

But honestly, picking up a phone and calling is good practice anyway. If you can't get an honest ballpark estimate within 5 minutes that's not a company you want to work with anyway.

That’s silly and hilarious and now I want to see it happen.
Exactly, thank you. I was going to say - $8/mo per US user would be a failing ad business.
Sure, but impulses among individuals like Putin, Biden and Xi Jinping have much bigger impact.
This is in no way a counter-argument to the parent post.

Parent talks purely about software while you're talking about the author of the software.
Subdomains usually get all the cookies from the main domain (or at least they used to, didn't follow up on that issue for some years).

It'd be more productive to switch to libressl or bearssl.
Just was trying it. A couple minutes in, I discovered it doesn't support suspended jobs.

Yeah, I guess, he should disappear right now and negotiate a deal before coming back to Twitter.
Why be on teams if there's nobody else to play against?
Don't B2B companies do something like RFPs where they do a request for pricing and give a boilerplate / generic usecase of number of users, number of requests etc and expect the companies to bid back on results?

Maybe something like that could help you / maybe there is a business opportunity there to do aggregated sales calls so these companies can be compared side-by-side (though they probably would give inflated rates like hospitals do because they know insurance will knock the prices down).
This is very nice. A couple years ago I was playing around with a hobby project I was dubbing "Retro-V" which was to be a RISC-V core tied to a 1980s-style display processor and keyboard/mouse input on a small FGPA and 512k or 1MB or so of SRAM. I was using PicoRV32 for that, but this would have been be far better.
I am working on using audio worklets to perform the audio processing without blocking the main UI thread, but support on browsers other than Chrome is still limited.

> how is china--let alone tiktok--a national security threat?

How China is or isn't a threat to America is a big question. That it's perceived as an adversary, almost universally, by not only the U.S. [1][2] but most of the West [3] and its neighbors, is pretty well documented. It's probably the crowning strategic failure of Xi's.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Faces Exodus of Advertisers and Executives
King made a comment about price, and Musk made a (relatively) good reply - by asking "How about $8?" he's framed it as a value proposition and now you have to either say "nothing, Twitter is worthless" or you have to come back with a dollar amount. It's a good framing move.

An obvious solution could be revenue-share similar to how YouTube does - post a viral tweet that generates $x in ad revenue for Twitter, receive some percentage of that. Make it available only to blues who pay and ... (Musk if you use this send me car or a rocket :P )
Yeah, you can do a parody of Ikea without infringing on them. The basic idea for this game seems to be taken from Grady Hendrix's 2014 novel "Horrorstör" which is obviously set in an Ikea, even though in-universe it is called "ORSK". I don't think Ikea did anything about that.
On the contrary - the part that is problemmatic is the verbatim reproduction of copyrighted code. If that's fixed by a "minor refactoring" then there's no hill to die on. It's not AI code generation per se that's problemmatic - it's when it does things that are break current IP law.

If you want to debate expanding IP law - that's a different discussion and one I would be rather sceptical about. I'd prefer the that IP law in general was rolled back - not forward.
no, "we" certainly do "know" it's nefarious. which isn't to say it actually is. understand that we're in the early stages of a new red scare, so china has gone from an important partner to an adversary to hostile, and now it's the enemy in some circles. so now everything china does is nefarious.

it reminds me of this event:
https://www.nytimes.com/1950/08/15/archives/dock-workers-ref...

personally, i don't think there will be much success whipping up a new red scare. people are too checked out. though maybe i'm just hoping.
Yes, scripting languages all support both:

* A repl for performing common operations (moving around the file system, running programs, etc),

* A interpreted environment for scripting these operations.

The main reason to use these instead of Python/Rust is the ease of interfacing with other programs.

In Python, and most other non-scripting languages, spawning and interacting with external processes is quite verbose.
FWIW Rails historically places everything under a root "app" folder.
What is the bar for "familiar with the discussions"? I read a news article about it, does that make me familiar? Does the person setting up the conference room count as familiar?

Numerous employees - how much insight does a web developer at Twitter have into the inner workings of the management shift happening right now?

Photos of what? The conference room? Are we going to pull in a body language expert to analyze what Elon was saying by walking into the room with sneakers instead of dress shoes?

There is no accountability for sources in journalism, and it's why I think it's 99% useless garbage and never read it. Journalists and publications find the sources they want to tell the story they already planned to write regardless of reality.
I'd love to have a way to scare salespeople straight by showing them how many sales they are losing because of this bad practice.

Twitter staff have been told to work 84-hour weeks
And in the end there's still an "at will employment" and "3 month probation period".

Why TF would you waste so much time to then have all of that crap?
This is day 5 of the Elon/Sink era.

I expect more changes are ahead that might address these concerns.

It makes sense. It’s ridiculous to have to subscribe to individual news websites when there are so many; an intermediary that did deals with publishers wouldn’t be a bad idea.
I personally feel the bar for copyrighting code should be considerably higher than 20 lines.
Fixing the parser as in properly switching back from comment coloring to code coloring? Won't tell you anything unless you look, and you might still miss it. The linter will ring alarm bells that someone is trying to hide code even if you never had the file in question on the screen.

I feel tempted to bring up the counter argument "but someone should look at untrusted code thoroughly enough to not miss it anyways!", but that would be like abolishing safety belts and airbags because surely people would drive more safely.
This will normally depend on many factors. This is usually going to be the quantity of units and the level and availability of support, but could include other factors depending on the domain. Your initial "subscription" is generally going to be more than your renewal, sometimes way more.

If it is a COTS offering that is likely to be used in the US Govt, I recommend trying to find your product on GSA Advantage [0], but it is helpful to have the manufacturer's part number handy, which often takes a consultation with a sales entity. Good luck!

Neat, thanks for the explanation and links!

Sorry for being so off the mark there for your package, though my incorrect understanding I think did allow for a good explanation of what reproducibility is about and one thing that commonly fails!
Some companies make you sign an NDA before they tell you their prices.
I'll defend it because I'm doing it: We have a very very young company, and we are building our product with our customers. We are in fact charging very little right now with the understanding that our product is immature, and later we plan to increase pricing to get to a profitable level. There is absolutely no way to come up with any sort of standard pricing for us, since each customer means a lot of feature and customer support.
How many people are laid off at Twitter on any given weekend? Given the headcount it's likely a common occurrence monthly if not weekly.
I think it's plausible if you think of it in periods or "waves".....Capitalism may indeed be superior entirely, or it may only be superior up until a certain point, and then once it reaches a certain level of power (political/regulatory/cognitive capture) it could cause certain levels of progress to stagnate...and if adequate capture and ~censorship of information production & distribution has been accomplished, people may never be able to realize the position the system has assumed (or, some may notice, but their messages may be censored or disbelieved).
Very cool!! Is there a way to search for 3D model types? Like STLs or GLB files? I am creating an API over at https://heyrobot.org for 3D models... mostly for 3D printing, but would be awesome to reference any 3D models on SimpleHash on HeyRobot, so people can view them in 3D.
Not if the switching cost is high and/or slow. The problems of a monarchy will not be solved by setting up a competing neighboring kingdom.

> Because the models are not creating a 1:1 replacement of the original work.

Since when did that become a requirement? If those are the rules now, then cutting the final credits is good enough to start torrenting movies.

> When it comes to code, there is a higher chance of getting a one-to-one clone of the input as the options used in creating an algorithm, or even a simple function are dramatically reduced imo.

If you're going to consider each function within a larger work as an individual work, that makes the 1:1 replacement claim more dubious. In order to recognizably imitate a style, one or more features of that style have to be recognizably copied, although no single area of the illustration would have to be. A function is a facet of a complete program just like recognizable features of a style are facets of each work an artist produces. If it helps, consider an artist's style as their own personal utility library.
The pocket change invested in serious scientific research by capitalist-run foundations proportionally increases with the wealth of those capitalists. That it grows is not impressive. What would be impressive is if these foundational social forces were disrupted.
VC funds depend on a few massive successes, but the majority of their investments are expected to flame out. You cannot judge a fund by its glaring investment failures!

But 95% of VC funds don’t make enough to beat their risk (see link in <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32773493>). Conversely, even that 95% number only implies that VC funds are poor investments: perhaps a 5% chance to win 100x is worth a bet?

Our intuitions are usually wrong when it comes to power laws.
To be fair, the Chinese society has seen it's share of war. Let's not also forget the Chinese are rapidly expanding their military. In the calculus of a command economy, what is the point of military spending, if not to use it?
As you already know, this is typical for "enterprise" software due to the idea that potential customers will immediately click away if the price seems too high, so you need to let your customer know what value is in your software before they immediately walk away.

One take-away from this is the old "if you have to ask, you can't afford it", and another is that they're automatically filtering out lower-value or price-sensitive customers.

However, an obvious counterpoint is that Atlassian built a multi-billion-dollar business around up-front pricing, and even seem to still offer that up-front pricing today.

As a general rule, any software which requires "contact us" is going to be somewhere between $50k and $750k, generally annually, (usually for a fully-loaded site license on the high end), but there are definitely exceptions above and below. Certainly there are companies in some industries (WorkDay, Oracle, SalesForce, etc) that are known for being extremely expensive, and there are certainly many companies that would like to get into an upper tier but just aren't quite there yet, and smaller startups (esp non-VC funded) are often on the low end.
Most of the times you can get rough pricing from them before taking a call if you describe your needs / number of seats, or at most a 20min call. Just make it clear you have many vendors to assess in a first pass and the more calls the less likely you are to subscribe in your opening contact.

I'd also recommend only engaging with the top 3 better products before you go through such a big list.

The premise of your assignment is that the specifics of a customer situation don't affect price. For enterprise SaaS this is not the case. There is no "price list" there is structured negotiation that has many parameters, including:

Total likely value of the business relationship if solution widely adopted inside prospect

What options does winning this deal create? In particular what will the vendor learn and will this relationship open the door to new niches, segments, markets?

What is the value of a reference / testimonial from this particular prospect?

I dunno, your criteria sounds too broad. I think there's absolutely value to the user in having vulnerability disclosures distinguish the case of "exploit exists" from "no exploit exists". It's all well and good to just advise everyone to always update their systems, but in practice people managing systems need to deal with gray areas.

Do you shut systems down proactively? Revoke certs for hosts running the old version? Change network access protocols to require the new version? All those decisions have measurable costs, and in practice "we believe this is unexploitable on the OS version you are running" is going to change the decision for some users.

There isn't a hidden price that is only shown in the sales funnel. But rather the price changes depending on the customer.

'Contact us' = 'give us enough information to accurately price the product for you.'

Best way to shortcut the process would be to work with a channel/var that has a majority of the items in their portfolio.
California: 1 new home per 354 citizens per year (confirmed using primary US government sources).

Tokyo "city": 1 new home per 96 citizens per year (unconfirmed but reasonable).

Tokyo "metro": 1 new home per 113 citizens per year (confirmed using primary Japanese government sources)

I figured it would compare best if we translated this to "per capita" form. Eyeballing the FRED source[3], looks like California permits 8,000-10,000 new home units per month, or 110,000 per year for a state of 39 million people. This has been (relatively) stable for quite a few years.

The sightline blog quotes WSJ which asserted that Tokyo city built 145,000 new homes in 2018. I was unable to find the source for the WSJ claims -- sightline.org claims that this is just the Tokyo City, not metropolitan, but WSJ makes no such distinction (conclusion is uncertain). However we do have some contextual numbers:

Japan added 942,000 housing starts in 2018 according to Statista[0], whose numbers for 2020 and 2021 perfect match Japanese government numbers[1]. So "Tokyo's" housing starts accounted for 15% of national housing starts. 11% of Japan's population lives in Tokyo "city" and 29% of Japan's population lives in Tokyo "metro". Additionally, Tokyo "metro" ("National Capital Region" - 首 都 圏) added 327,128 homes in 2018[2], and this has also been relatively stable year-to-year. So "145,000" seems reasonable at least.
