Great question! Engineer on the team here - I will let our CEO, Matija, confirm tomorrow (they are in Croatia), but to me it comes down to the three most common options most OSS companies use for monetization:

- we will provide a managed hosting service, think Wasp Cloud, that will make it the best place to run your Wasp apps with easy deployments, simple 3rd party integrations, great observability, DX enhancements and flows vs rolling your own on AWS, etc.
- we provide some extra functionality that is more enterprise-focused and niche, but we charge for it (like more enterprise-focused forms of authentication, for example)
- we provide support and maintenance licenses for those who want someone to be there when they call :)

Thanks for your interest!
Wouldn't that exclude (most) nested lists?
If I can write (mostly) python code and get it to run on my GPU they can oversell this all they want.

I have a couple of projects I’ve been wanting to tackle but put off because I like python but it wouldn’t be a very good fit due to performance reasons. Now I get a whole new herd of yaks to shave.

Plus, extensible compiler? Who doesn’t want linq in python?

Every language once it grows beyond a certain point will it have its share of cooks. 1% of people are psychopaths. So in 10,000 people you have hundred psychos.

GP is right. In a memey, stereotype, sort of way. But, Rust community generally holds people evangelizing Rust by RIIR (rewrite it in Rust) in high disdain.

That said what C/C++ (and other memory unsafe lang) people can't seem to understand is that unlimited Undefined behavior is a trainwreck, and that Rust offers much, much more than just peace of mind regarding memory safety.

And no. Just write better code doesn't work.

It feels surreal. Like imagine you are driving a car with seatbelts and airbags. And everyone is saying. "Well I can just drive better and the belt is annoying. Doesn't allow me to get switch seats while driving.
And it won't help if you fall in river, so it's useless. Plus brakes make you go slower"

I decided that explaining and education is a lost cause. Let evolution sort them out.
People have been doing photo analysis for a long long time, and have gotten quite good at doing geolocation based on details in the background that the average viewer ignores. Spy agencies are especially good at it. There's many a spy movie that offers glimpses into this, but The Good Shepard comes to mind.

Even as a joking kind of thing, the opposite has been done. There's a famous exchange between Neil DeGrasse Tyson and James Cameron about how the sky in the movie Titanic was wrong. Cameron accepted the challenge, and on a remastered version had the sky replaced to be historically accurate.

It's a game to some people. It's a challenge. It's self rewarding in this case, sometimes there might be actual rewards of sorts. Hell, I've spent more hours than I'd like to admit on Nasa's website where you use the images taken by the astronauts on the space station and align them on the globe. I got nothing out of it other than being entertained by the challenge, learned about some new places on the globe when I would try to find out why that place was interesting to the astronaut to snap that particular image, etc.
GPS works like that too, the GPS signal is so weak it's below the thermal noise floor when it arrives at the receiver, but you know each satellite's special signal pattern, so you just search all satellites at all positions in the noise and see if you get some correlation (a fix).
I'm not familiar with the research in this area, but what exactly separates an adult from a young adult (for the purposes of research on the labour force, not biology), and why study them specifically? 60% of young adults don't move, how does that differ from the rest of the workforce? Retirees?
General economic conditions--many companies thought that the pandemic bump would last forever and planned spending that way. It hasn't, so they adjust spending. It doesn't take an activist investor or outside consultants or anything to look at your numbers and the trendline, and then decide to adjust your business according to what you see.

> Big Crypto Projects Are Very Rarely Scams

I mean, seriously? This is a month after the fallout of FTX, we have seen crypto projects in their net worths in Billions to get revealed as ponzi schemes in their purest meaning, and that's the best SA can offer up?

> If you split $1000 and invested it equally in all the top crypto projects of 2015, you would now have $25,400. If you invested it in the biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap of 2020, you would have $2,700. Stablecoins aren’t really an investment, but if you put it in the top stablecoins of 2020 anyway, you would have $964.30. Exchanges definitely aren’t an investment, but if you put your $1000 in the best crypto exchanges of 2020, I think it would all still be there (FTX wasn’t on the list; maybe it’s too new).

This is tired shill-speak (consider what happened if you "invested" in 2021 instead), to the point where I doubt if Scott Alexander himself wrote this or if someone offered him a large but undisclosed sum to write it for him. Probably as a damage control to the EA circles, who have undoubtedly lost a lot of faith in crypto as a follow up to the FTX fallout.
Hopefully this breathes life into the absolutely stagnant Google Maps division.

Google has no expectation to “support its employees” by employing them unnecessarily. It’s not a jobs program. Frankly the fact that Waze is a separate org NINE YEARS after acquisition is astonishing and would only be justified if there were strategic reasons for doing so.
Yeah well the readers killed blogs, not the writers.
I doubt it. The B-2 was cut because the cold war ended and because it was absurdly expensive to maintain thanks to its 1980s stealth tech. The radar-absorbent material used for the B-2 degraded very quickly and it's a large aircraft, so that means absolutely constant work to keep it functioning as intended. The B-2s are based out of Missouri and when they go on a mission they fly all the way to the other side of the wold and then back to the central USA. Why? Because Whiteman Airforce base is the only one which has the massive climate-controlled hangars you need to stick the B-2s in to keep them from falling apart while on the ground. If the US built a fleet of 100+ B-2s in the 1990s we'd have ended up with a fleet of cutting edge bombers which cost more than $100,000 per flight-hour to operate and no one to use them against. A fleet of 100+ B-2s during the 2000s would have been a massive white elephant.

The B-21 is different in two important ways.

First, the B-21s stealth tech is derived from lessons learned from the F-35 program. The F-35 is a tactical fighter which the US and most of its allies are buying in very large numbers. They need to be stationed just about anywhere and can't require ridiculous maintenance to keep their skin from falling off. That would be impractical for a large fleet of aircraft. As such, a lot of work went into making the radar absorbent material used on the F-35 dramatically more durable. The B-21 gets to piggyback off of that and as a result it will be much more feasible to actually have a large fleet of them.

Second, there's a new cold war heating up with China. Anyone whose ever looked at the Pacific ocean might notice that it's kind of large. This makes range a major concern for combat aircraft. A medium stealth bomber with extreme range is essentially perfect for this environment because it can reach anywhere and is very hard to actually find once in flight. If you are a surface warship force, being hunted by a bunch of nearly undetectable aircraft which can be anywhere at anytime and can each carry more than a dozen large anti-ship missiles is going keep you up at night. The B-21 will likely end up being a very important piece in the US naval strategy in the pacific.

I wouldn't be surprised to see significantly more than 100 get built.
As someone who was naively hired as a "data-scientist" without my employer checking if I actually knew anything about modeling I ended up falling into the "person who fixes up the code, maintains tests it, etc." role, while my seniors, who were much less enthused about software engineering, were the ones pushing out models that were admittedly very impressive but complete disasters in terms of code.

We worked very well off of each other, it was interesting to pick at a model from a software engineering perspective, how the code could be structured and improved, where some tradeoffs would need to be made and how we would test and verify if it actually worked for our users. I eventually left because the company was more concerned with getting new models out as soon as possible regardless of their actual performance, but it did ignite my passion for software engineering and devops.
This is totally unwarranted, completely unfounded speculation not at all based in any science whatsoever:

Possibly, or possibly it will follow the same pattern as the F-22 / F-35 where the aircraft that was the true breakthrough (F-22) was expensive and had production slashed but the "cost optimized" version (F-35) is now being produced in large numbers [1].

1. I'm aware the F-35 development program itself was a boondoggle, but there are still building a ton of them right now.
I think you're misunderstanding the value proposition of languages like Rust and Swift. It's not that they help safeguard user data or statistically reduce crash logs in analytics, although those are certainly useful properties in every domain you've named; I will stipulate for the purpose of this reply that developers in those domains don't value their users at all, although I don't believe it to be true.

The value proposition is that they eliminate entire classes of low-level bugs. Certain problems that you'd otherwise spent weeks debugging during a large project just don't happen. You can spend your time on the actual logic of your task rather than debugging all of the boilerplate around it. Developers of games, compilers, DAWs, NLEs and live performance software absolutely care about productivity.
> The idea here is to use a minimal wasm binary as a stage1 kernel that is committed to source control and therefore can be used to build any commit from source. We provide a minimal WASI interpreter implementation that is built from C source, and then used to translate the Zig self-hosted compiler source code into C code. The C code is then compiled and linked, again by the system C compiler, into a stage2 binary. The stage2 binary can then be used repeatedly with zig build to build from source from that point on.

1/ Wouldn't that be considered "cheating" to basically commit precompiled compiler binaries to source control ?

2/ I don't understand how that solves the "features need to be implemented twice" problem. Wouldn't you need to implement new Zig language features into that WASM kernel whenever they are used in the Zig compiler source ?

Without his investment or even lending his interest to get other to invest, most of this “others work” he takes credit for wouldn’t come to fruition because no one else wants to invest in something that takes decades for a payoff.

Nobody is arguing that Google is not legally allowed to do this. People here merely argue that it's not a smart business move to make employees unhappy when the company has spent (and wants to spend in the future) lots of money to make and keep employees happy. Google is not a shoe producer or Cobalt mine in case you haven't noticed.
Annoying as morning standups are, they are (well, should be) about keeping the team in sync and communicating, not about Big Brother watching you. Companies that want to be Big Brother have much more intrusive and insidious ways of doing that.

I am a disorganized guy who hates authority and interruptions, and even so I have grudgingly come to realize that (strictly) 15-minute morning standups actually do increase my productivity.
They do, because it's not 100% effective at preventing transmission. That does not mean it is 0% effective. Anything greater than 0% effectively prevents transmission.

I get sent calendly links all the time by recruiters on LinkedIn, no idea what their economics look like but I can see a $3bn valuation being totally reasonable since they are directly enabling a profit center (for external recruiters) and critical business function for both 3rd and 1st party recruiters.

If calendly links improve the top-of-the-funnel size by X% it would be very easy to justify paying them large amounts of money to do so. If I’m employing 50 recruiters why wouldn’t I pay calendly $100k/year or more to make them X% more effective?

You could argue for building your own, but it doesn’t make sense for every business to build their own, and I think it’s obviously the type of tool where a prototype would be easy to make but getting enterprise-ready would be challenging.

Depends on how you scope the word "build". If you mean literal assembly, of course. If you mean "the process of iterating engineering, testing and assembly" including prototyping etc (a common way to use the word build, especially in software circles) it makes more sense.
This is all well and good, and I agree, fun can be different things to different people. So can good.

But that wasn't the comment I was responding to. The comment I responded to made the positive assertion "Things are fun because they are profitable"

> what you define as fun isn't apparently what others define as such, at least when it comes to voting with their dollars.

If you want to change the argument to "fun is unknowable" I can get behind that statement. However, I think the slot machine example is a really good one to prove that fun and profit are not the same thing. Even if you want to argue that the slot machines can be fun, I think you'd have a hard time arguing that addicts to slots are all having a blast.

What's changed in the gaming industry is more focus on profit and less on fun. The gaming industry has learned is what B.F. Skinner discovered decades ago

Because it is an absurd waste of time.

Once, good compilers were rare and expensive, and coding a compiler in your new language proved to people that it was adequate to implement a compiler.

Nowadays good compilers for everything are common and free. Coding a compiler for your language in your language demonstrates only that you could afford to waste the time, because literally every language suffices to code a compiler in.
> In effect, TCI can't compel them to do anything they don't want to do.

Yes, they can. It’s called fiduciary responsibility, and shareholders sue for it all the time.
That was the initial intent behind Kotlin's Result<T> type; it was only allowed to be a return value from compiler-blessed functions (runCatching and friends) and was not allowed to be stored in a property.

The problem became this additional function color; also, no language construct can prevent users from implementing "fun Result<T>.unwrap(): T" and crashing the program in the failure case.

OK, you could also restrict functions that accept Result<T> (as a receiver or parameter), but now you force resolution of that type by the direct caller of the function returning Result<T>. So really this becomes a worse version of checked exceptions, which (thankfully) don't exist in Kotlin.

This "fast and instinctual" is very common for deep learning models.

For example, here with a friend, we were showing ConvNets seemingly-NSFW images:
https://medium.com/@marekkcichy/does-ai-have-a-dirty-mind-to... (note: ALL photos are nudity-free; yet, I advise not to watch it in your office, as people taking glimpses will think that you watch some adult content; therefore, it is metaphorically SFW, but actually might be considered not safe for work).

Almost always, classifiers are tricked. We are as well... but only at first glance. Afterward, it is evident that these are innocent images.

Though, with their multipass approach, I would expect transformers to be much better at more subtle patterns. And they are, but yet far from perfect.
I'd venture to guess that the majority of people doing programming challenges aren't experts. They're up-and-comers honing their skills or memorizing leet code problems as practice for interviews.

"Governments can ban things but it frequently doesn't work" works directly against the idea that crypto is providing any value - because the argument it does starts with "governments can ban X but cryptocurrency will save us!"

You can't have it both ways: if cryptocurrency is the be all and end all of avoiding government censure of other activities, why would it not be a high priority to crush it compared to those other things? If it is not, then is it all that useful?

There does not exist a morality detector that can measure people's true intentions in crypto. SBF may have had a true heart of gold but is just an idiot. Or he's the smartest con-man in the room and squirreled the money away in a series of numbered bank accounts.

Either way, the crypto press gave him very little skepticism, and lauded his venture -- celebrating him as the next financial genius.

In the traditional banking world, I don't need a morality detector. I just need an FDIC bank.
Kahneman's book is based on a myriad of sources and covers enormous ground. He enumerates dozens of patterns of human thought, all supported by studies.

Furthermore, the book is clear that System 1/System 2 distinction is an imperfect model.
