> quite a lot is lost

It doesn't have to be that way. If I was an ereader developer, there are a lot of things easily done to make it more physical book-like:

1. use scanned images, rather than reflowable text

2. render fonts that have subtle differences from one 'a' to the next 'a'

3. don't line the text up perfectly on the line

4. add an ink blotch here and there, and maybe a coffee ring

5. scan a blank page of real paper and use that as a background

6. scan a couple dozen of (5) and randomly use them

7. make the reader the size and shape of a pocketbook. I'm amazed that nobody does this. After all, they are "pocket" books, and ereaders don't fit in a pocket.

8. use a high res screen. While you don't really notice it consciously, a retina image of text is much easier on the eyes

9. make the ereader easily held and manipulated with one hand. Amazon's used to be like this, but then their "improved" models turned left and went over the embankment. The Kindle3 is the pinnacle of their ereaders

10. make an ereader display two facing pages at once. You know, like a book

11. make a larger ereader for the usual size of larger, non-pocketbook books. Even put a hinge between the two pages, so it opens and reads like a book

12. add the scent of paper to it. P.S. Some printed books smell like vomit. Don't emulate that.

13. have a "stack" of previous pages visited. So I can flip to another page, and reliably flip back to where I was

14. have a way to flip through the book, i.e. show pages sequentially, lingering on each for a second or so. Maybe have the flip speed sensitive to how hard you press the button
Great writeup - exactly my level of understanding of nix. I hope this gives insight to nix developers about where the potential for improvement of the package manager.
I wonder where this fungis' natural range is.
> Isn't that really bad? The fact that we've been making a horrible abominable mistake for a few thousand years doesn't mean we should continue to expand on that mistake.

What is the mistake? Why is it a mistake? Did you mean that we have been killing to survive for thousands of years, maybe millions of years, and that's a bad thing because it causes suffering of the animals and plants we kill? Why is it a mistake when it comes to us, but is not when it comes to the lion or the killer whale or the crocodile or the snake who also prey and that even used to prey on us? And what is the thing we should fix? The suffering of the victim, the cruelty of the predator, or both? We must be consequent. Once we stop killing animals and trees, should we play God and either lift the lions and teach them the error of their ways, or should we exterminate them so that they don't kill the gazelle? If we do the latter, should we install reproduction limiters in the gazelle so that their population remains bounded, or should we let them over-populate and suffer from the consequent starvation? If we do none of the above, do you propose we turn our backs to the animal suffering and say it's okay as long as we are not the ones causing it?

For the record, I'm a bit of a cynic and I will be content with letting animal suffering continue as long as it is not me causing it. IMO, fellow human beings are much more in need of our redeemer energies.

>Here’s a scenario. A ship from some Indian civilization about 4000 years ago [maybe Indus] loses its way and ends up crashing on the shore of Arnhem Land. Like most ships, its crew is all male. They survive the landing, and end up warring with a local tribe. Eventually, they kill off most of the men and annex the sobbing women. The new tribe has 5x higher carrying capacity, essentially due to better technology, and they’re militarily superior as well – better weapons and tactics. They expand and expand, picking up more and more old Australian genes as they do so. Not as an empire – they’re too simple for that – but the tribes that descend from them keep winning. They speak the ancestor of the Macro-Pama-Nyungan languages, which originates as a mix between their old-Dravidian language (from the men) and some local Australian tongue (from the women).

>One funny thing about this scenario: the sailors lose almost all of their civilization, and probably thought they were descending into savagery. On the other hand, the locals probably thought of the castaways as incredibly advanced, magicians or gods. They were both right.

Doom was released 30 years ago 1993. The minimum system requirement was a 66 Hz 486 processor running at 3.50 Watts.

That's 3500 time increase in power efficiency, or over 30% annual increase in power efficiency.
Ridiculous. Stable diffusion might have a massive ecosystem around it but mid journey is making money hand over fist. Most people don't even necessarily have a discreet GPU necessary to be able to run SD, and the vast majority of artists that I know are using midjourney and then doing touchups afterwards.

Even with all the different models that you can load in stable diffusion MJ is 1000 times better at natural language parsing and understanding, and requires significantly less prompt crafting to be able to get aesthetically pleasing results.

Having used automatic1111 heavily with an RTX 2070, the only area I'll concede SD can do a better job is in closeup Headshots and character generation. MJ blows SD out of the water where complex prompts involving nuanced actions are concerned.

Once midjourney adds controlnet and inpainting to their website that's pretty much game over.
That’s an astute observation.

Virtually everwhere has cheap enough mobile data in 2023 to read books with, so internet is not an issue.

And I think you may be severly underestimating the cost of maintaining library-sized collections of books, in labor and utilities and maintenance and real estate. Consumer digital devices, especially things like e-ink readers, cost almost nothing compared to that.
I like the idea of the employee asking the employer during an interview, "how many employees have you let go?" or similar questions that turn the tables!

Companies aren't "right" or "wrong", or "good" or "bad". It depends on the person. You're not trying to figure out if the company is right, or if the employee is right. You're trying to figure out if it's the right fit.

> A market for lemons is still a market, and it finds an equilibrium where the lemon-ness gets priced into transactions.

Yes, I agree, and I think that's related to the accusation of "triviality" made by some of the reviewers. If the "lemon-ness" is already priced in, then where's the thing that would make this theory special?

> I don’t know about the whole world, but up here in Canada

I'm from Eastern Europe where the second-hard market is relatively more important compared to Western countries for objective reasons, but as far as I can tell there are lots of people purchasing SH cars in North America from the likes of Craigslist and FB Market (more recently) without any mention of warranties and the like. Those markets are highly functional.

MSX wasn't? No, indeed not, and AFAICR MSX BASIC wasn't anything very special. (MSX-DOS actually was, and is CP/M compatible and can run CP/M programs, which is rarely even mentioned.)

But MSX was aimed squarely at gaming with a sideline in music making and things. I feel it deserves more respect, as one of the longest-surviving 8-bit architectures, one that was the most extended of all of them, and even transitioned with some degree of success to 16-bit, with the Z800-compatible R800 chip:

This reminds me of "Distributed Applications" in Erlang (https://www.erlang.org/doc/design_principles/distributed_app...).
If you want an example, go check out DALLE2 subreddit vs SD subreddit.

The former is a wasteland, the latter is more popular than r/art (despite having 1% of subscribers, it has more active users at any given moment)

If you want something ready to use for a newbee, midjourney v4 crushes DALLE2 on both prompt comprehension and the images look far more beautiful.

If you are already into art, then StableDiffusion has a massive ecosystem of alternate stylized models (many which look incredible) and LORA plugins for any concept the base model doesn't understand.

DALLE2 is just a prototype that was abandoned by OpenAI, their main business is GPTs, DALLE was just a side hustle.
I've said for years that the Havana Syndrome is just the latest of Syndromes related to workplace injuries. (Previous ones were caused by Agent Orangein Vietnam, Gulf Syndrome from the Iraq War of 1991, Burn-Pit lung-damage from Iraq 2003, Afghanistan, etc, etc, etc.)

Something all those spooks were doing in their diplomatic posts is the cause of Havana Syndrome. But the Government will hide any evidence they have, so that there won't be millions or even billions of dollars in Workplace Injury Compensation claims.

Honestly, my purpose was neither. This is, thus far, a localized matter, and it's unlikely to affect most men. The advice is sound, but that's not really the purpose. (And it was very much not intended to blame them.)

Rather, my purpose was to use the opportunity to give men perspective about women. And it's something they can use to their benefit: not to avoid being robbed, but to have more successful dates.

How does this compare to what's offered by doit? https://www.doit.com/flexsave/

From my conversations with doit sounds like they offer a similar service in that doit acts as an AWS reseller (~~some billing magic) and they apply commitment discounts etc. and pass along a portion of the savings. doit also claim to throw in free cloud architecture and support consulting services as a value add.

It's incredibly ironic that you're accusing the parent post of "assuming a level of insight into people’s meta-knowledge of their own mental state" while up and down the thread you're making gigantic reactionary assumptions about what cultural factors are causing teens to feel less fulfilled today. It feels good and easy to pine for the "good old days" where 50% of kids flipped burgers at McDonald's or whatever but the fact of the matter is, given how many confounding variables there are, you're just as clueless as anyone else about this.

If we're going to make random stabs in the dark and bring in our own bargain basement personal opinions into this, I can tell you at least that interacting with my abusive family much less has only been fantastic for my mental health. Obviously this isn't the case for everyone, but maybe that's not important and I should just universalize this viewpoint like you, right?
Not the same story, but it's covered frequently in Colombian national and local news. Here is an example:

The part you mentioned that was referencing The Wolf of Wall Steeet is just plainly untrue.

Stratton Oakmont (the OTC brokerage house from The Wolf of Wall Street movie, as well as its real-life counterpart) didn't "fall into greed trap." They have been running their pump and dump schemes (by straight up lying to investors) from the very start and have been scrutinized by National Association of Security Dealers since their founding in 1989[0].

However, I can believe the "fell into greed trap" reasoning for SBF, as it looks this way to me as well. That wasn't the part that made my blood boil, it was all the lies and excuses and pure gaslighting that followed after they got exposed. The crime was bad, but the coverup didn't lag much behind in terms of their awfulness (and arguably imo was much more disgusting). If it was just "oh, we ended up managing risk poorly and decided to yolo the funds on risky funds", that's one (still very criminal and bad) thing. But it is another when you end up covering it up and gaslighting people post-factum.

Very well said. What a shit show. I wonder if there was corruption involved. "Sell this thing for me on the cheap and we'll hire you in 5 years."
It was an initially very profitable but thin market, so returns went hard negative very fast once the market was cleared.

So the usual behavior, the first entrants make a ton of money, then the rest of wall street piles in behind them, although the market of "good deals" emptied out really quickly so returns rapidly went from very positive to very negative.

Its literally an inflation situation although instead of too much consumer money chasing too few consumer goods, its too much capital chasing too few good deals.
