"You can do so as soon as you open source infrastructure" is impractical and misleading. It is very likely part of infrastructure will be commercially licensed so even if one would want to open source it, it would not be possible.

MongoDB Specifically switches from Open Source License to SSPL to create monopoly in DBaaS Space. IT is business decision so lets not pretend here.

If you look at Real Open Source software it is created for cooperation and innovation together, not monopoly.
Sure, there are still scripted stories/quests and what not. But the background characters can become much more interesting if they're all LLMs that are just given a prompt like "you live in this cabin and are a subsistence farmer who has a dark secret" or something instead of just standing around looping a few lines. Open world games don't feel organic at all imo because these characters who should be adding flavor and making the game dynamic are just completely static.
So I think its fair to say the USSR, China, Cuba, North Kora were a form of communism that had the following characteristics.
1. Authoritarian
2. Central planning (perhaps the same thing)
3. Slow to change
These are all valid criticisms based on what we know from history, etc. I think there is a bit of nuance here though based on a glance of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famines and some basic history.
1. China did experience some horrible famines, particularly the '59-'61. However, they had experienced these, ~20years+/- 10 years, since at least the 1800s, perhaps 1700. That is well into royal rule prior to the revolution. Particularly the 1810, 1811, 1846, and 1849 (Four famines, ~45Mil dead). Just saying, objectively, not sure the average peasant was more or less likely to experience a famine under the royal rule or communism.
2. Russia and the surrounding neighbors that were consumed by the USSR, seem to have a similar story. The Tsar's in particular were not very good at economics, logistics, or resource management.
3. Post WWII cold war meant virtually every communist country was isolated and sort of by definition a centralized state. They were locked out of the emerging reserve currency (Dollar). They could not freely go to market with their goods. As well as they were all sort of frenemies of each other (see relationship between Korea, China, and USSR for examples).

Look I'm no great lover of communism, I sat through the same U.S. history classes in the 80's-90's, saw the wall fall on TV, etc. That said I think the one thing no one acknowledges is that people don't start revolutions and try out radical types of government because their lives are going just swell! Shit maybe its to much Civ as a kid, but I think its important to be honest about the pluses and minuses of government and the specifics of the people, region, and time period that these changes occur.
I would almost say you're better off staying in your current role than going in to ML. Here's why:

* Everyone is into it these days. We were interviewing some fresh graduates for a junior quant developer role recently, and each of the candidates had some mention of AI in their CV (the role had nothing to do with AI). The ML courses out there are packed with students thinking they'll be working for OpenAI or Google (took a class out of personal interest recently).

* Related to the above, you probably need a PhD to do anything remotely interesting. The bulk of the AI work is setting up build pipelines and finding/cleaning data.

* The field has a major winner takes all factor to it. The biggest companies will develop their own systems (or rather, a handful of top school PhDs in these companies will), and the rest will use tools made by others. The trend is towards bigger models with more training data, small companies will have a hard time competing in this space.

* Available jobs: check LinkedIn job postings for Java developer vs. ML researcher. I haven't done this, but have a strong feeling how it will look like. You fear the dev jobs will be obsolete soon, but why would the ML jobs not be?

To balance this out, I do have a few counterpoints:

* ML is a helluva lot more interesting than plain old java coding.

* To contradict myself a bit, I was recently almost offered a position with a strong focus on ML. Unfortunately the project ultimately fell through.

* Maybe the LLM success will cause VCs to pour money on AI start-ups, and there will be more opportunities in the space - for a while. However, to become hireable for ML roles, you'll need a year or two of intense study.

You can't fuel up your car at home in 5 minutes. You have to go to a gas station, unless you're storing 20 gallons of gas at home for some reason. If there is an evacuation, you think you'll be able to get gas at a station? I doubt it. Would you be able to find a plug to plug into, even if it is a regular 15a/20a house plug? yeah, probably. If you're charging at home, like most owners do, you'll generally be topped off at 100% or close to it, so you don't need to go anywhere first, you'll just get in your car and go.
> Twitter's customers are there for the audience. The audience is there for... the rest of the audience. Their tech is entirely incidental to their value. Calling twitter a tech company is like calling Deere a factory company—one uses tech and one uses factories, but that's not what they are.

John Deere designs their own tractors. Their customers want tractors. They could outsource the manufacturing and still sell to the same customers.

Foxconn is a factory company. The thing people want from them is manufacturing. Their customers are the likes of Dell and Apple. If they had no factories they would have no business.

Twitter operates servers and writes code. That's who they employ and how their business operates. Their users want to talk to each other, in the same way as John Deere's customers want harvested crops. But the way Twitter provides that service is through computers and software.

Notably, the way they provide that service is not through employing reporters to write stories.

I can't understand why MS does this. Is it that much profit? How is nobody at MS telling someone "people hate this, this is toxic, this is a paid OS already"?

From all the metrics they collect, does none of them tell them what their powerusers are disabling? Im guessing not many people are disabling the ads because the menus are so convoluted. Metrics then probably say "X million ad views per month, 3 people disabled it", so it must be good?

I don't get it, please enlighten me. They could even do a subscription model for Windows and it'd be more reasonable and probably more profitable.

My girlfriend recently had a popup from microsoft urging her to use bing instead of google for a few days in return for a few bucks (I think it was amazon credit). I was simply astonished, windows really didn't seem like a tool anymore but just someone trying to sell you something or get your data. Also it's tacky. As I personally haven't used windows for years I really was in disbelief seeing it.

I was wondering how this differs from JSONPath, found some answers on google:

> jsonpointer just defines how to access to a single value inside a json document, whereas jsonpath has more powerful features like union (extract multiple values), filters and deep search (recursively match a path).

> But jsonpath is missing a proper specification, so some behaviors are implementation specific with some parts heavily depending on some javascript constructs (mainly filters).

I would love to hear Steve Jobs' thoughts on this if he were still alive. He famously was quoted as saying Microsoft has "no taste", and I can't help but think this commercialization of the core OS interface is the epitome of tasteless and cheap.

It's hard to imagine a company like Microsoft with so many billions in the bank is so hard up for cash that they're effectively putting billboards up for sale on their primary product. I'm sure Jobs would have had some colorful things to say, if not outright gloating at the vindication.

tldr: in 2021, 'open to work' was a negative impact, and in 2023, it's a positive impact.

From what I have heard from colleagues there are so many applications coming in for open job postings the hiring managers are applying generic filters just to make the numbers manageable. Using filters like location, so even if you have 15 years exp with perfect matching skillset your resume may still not even be viewed by human eyes because you are located > 20 miles from the office etc... I think the market is just saturated/brutal right now.

I think this is too critical of LLMs. I do think a lot of people are ignorant on the subject and overhyping the actual power of LLMs, to the point where we're calling them AIs, but these are actual emergent abilities.

I'm still regularly surprised by how much "intelligence" can be extracted from our language, but I think it makes sense that some of the training would develop emergent abilities like this. A language model should be under pressure to learn addition and how to break down the various ways we state addition in math than to store a broad look-up table that reacts to "5 plus six" as strongly as "6+5".
Neither of those are utopian atheistic societies. They were authoritarian hellholes that weren't even socialist in nature.

The name of the company is literally National Public Radio and they lobby for more government funds on their own website.

What changed my perspective on this is understanding more what the sales process should look like instead of just winging it without structure and process.

I'm going through the dataset with your datasette tool and it looks like it might be a good idea to clean things up a bit. There are many duplicates[1], creepypastas[2] and other strange things in there.

Creepypastas are responses to instruction:

It is hardly OSIs campaign. Pretty much all major organizations involved in FOSS licensing have rejected sspl. For example this is Fedoras stance:

> Fedora considers the Server Side Public License (v1) to be a Non-Free license. It is the belief of Fedora that the SSPL is intentionally crafted to be aggressively discriminatory towards a specific class of users. Additionally, it seems clear that the intent of the license author is to cause Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt towards commercial users of software under that license. To consider the SSPL to be "Free" or "Open Source" causes that shadow to be cast across all other licenses in the FOSS ecosystem, even though none of them carry that risk.
The labelling doesn't seem to be entirely consistent to me, but I think the idea is that 51 is inviting you to brainstorm, while 68 is asking a question that just happens to be open ended.
Is it? "State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution."

That’s pure HR talk and is indicative of where you might stand compensation wise. It doesn’t really give you equal standing in the company. It’s not a question of title. It’s the reality of what you can do.

If you think about it, it entirely makes sense. Directors leverage their team to achieve results. You only have yourself and the example you can set.

I've always thought that a button to "blur" the video and audio (the latter using a low-pass filter or similar) would be a more effective way of doing this. You can still infer enough detail from the video and audio to know when the ads are over, but you wouldn't subject yourself to the higher-frequency, information-dense content of those ads.
IIRC, Ubuntu tried something like that and the quickly realized it was a big mistake and reverted.

This is the thing, with Linux or any BSD, if they start doing something like what M/S is doing, it is very easy to move elsewhere. Windows, either leave the OS for something completely different or you learn to live with it.

I don't like pencils, for my vision the color is too low contrast with the paper compared to black ink, or even blue ink, and for that reason I prefer a .7 nib to a .5, the thin lines also result in less contrast (they also make a scraping "sound/sensation" on the paper). but I didn't comment just to say that, but I selected your comment as a representative sample for a broader comment:

hey everybody, could you tell us why you like something rather than just that you like it? We had a mechanical pencil recommended, and then two more mechanical pencils recommended, but I'd have to do my own research to figure out why I would choose one over another. Whereas, you all already know what I'm looking for in a writing implement (high contrast and maximum smoothness)

even though I don't think I want a pencil, I do have opinions about mechanical pencils, for example I love when they can autofeed new leads.
