There's a lot of people in this thread defending Reddit and they don't seem to have ever had the pleasure of dealing with an actual Reddit employee. They have a culture of unchecked cronyism. Reddit doesn't care about anyone, some people will eventually figure it out the hard way.
My hot Microsoft and Google don’t have a clear strategy either. They’ve sort of run head first into this in the hopes of making the product along the way. They’re trying to be first to market with something compelling.

Apple doesn’t move first for the sake of being first, and they don’t move publicly until they do release.

Any article that doesn’t acknowledge those two points is sorely ignoring the history of the company.

My grandmother was in the resistance. Being around 14 years old, she was used as a courier and would hide messages in a pile of beans in the cellar. One day the enemy came and they must have been tipped off because they were searching everything. A young officer was searching the cellar and rummaged through the beans with his hand. At one point he stopped, his hand still among the beans, took a long look at my grandmother and shouted "Nothing here!". They left and she never met the officer again to thank him.

A party gaining the majority but being unable to functionally govern is awful for democratic legitimacy. Why vote when even if your party wins an election, you don't get your preferred policy implemented, even partially?

And beyond that, it lets party politicians who don't really want to have to take hard votes hide behind the procedural hurdles.
But isn't the point of "I'm feeling lucky" to take you to the first search result instead of the list? Not just take you somewhere random.
She literally quoted a Hadith. What is "incendiary" according to you is her tone of quotation. As if people don't quote nonsense from other religions in a non-reverential but mocking manner. Is Islam so fragile that Muslims get provoked by "quoting a hadith"?

I am incapable of putting words into your mouth, you are just taking hilariously diametrically opposite positions in the same conversation.

She apologised after she was thrown under the bus by her party (in a cowardly manner), which got pushback on this issue from India's middle eastern partners. The Supreme Court Judge's comments on her are unprecedented and disgraceful. After having received severe criticism for those comments, the court silently provided her the same relief from prosecution that she had sought in the first place.

I recently had a thought about LLMs and vision models.

Unlike ever before, the blind can now listen to a description of the world around them, with no other person required. The computer can just tell them what is around them.

I don't know if that's worth anything or would have too much hallucinated information, but it does seem worth exploring.
This was one of the main reasons I moved 100% to Linux and never thought about Windows + WSL as an alternative.
In a few years, as mid-level cognitive tasks get automated by LLMs, resulting in elimination of some percent of well-paying white-collar jobs, there will be economic dislocation and social disruption.

Oligarchic capitalist societies with a hypocritical philosophy of free market economics (such as the USA) will experience social unrest and civil strife.

In the meantime, social-democratic societies that have effective governance and can grow their safety net with universal basic income will be advantaged in this new economic order. Thinking Scandinavian and some Asian economies.

The geopolitical balance of power will shift toward stable societies that are able to make the conceptual leap to UBI. Others who follow the primitive fantasy of free market economics will crumble and get left behind.

At least that is how it looks right now.
I have asked people to try and convince me of this on several occasions, and the best argument so far has been about climate change and how preventing that is in my interest.
yes, that is very useful
As a joke, I wrote "Give me a disruptive startup idea". This is what claude wrote:

Here is a potentially disruptive startup idea:

• On-demand drone delivery for e-commerce. The idea is to offer ultra fast delivery of small packages via drones. This could significantly reduce delivery times for e-commerce orders and disrupt the traditional shipping industry. Some key challenges to overcome would be regulatory approvals, safety, noise pollution, and scaling up a drone delivery network. But if executed well, it could transform how people receive goods and packages.

A few other disruptive ideas:

• An Uber-like model for renting out spare rooms or couches for short term stays. This could disrupt the hotel industry.

• A Netflix model for streaming live TV channels over the internet. This could disrupt the cable TV industry.

• An automated vertical farming system to grow organic food locally in urban areas. This could disrupt the traditional agriculture and food supply chain.

• Decentralized blockchain-based social network. The idea is to build a social network that is not owned or controlled by any single company. It would be an open, decentralized platform built on blockchain technology. Users would have more control and ownership over their data and profiles. The business model could be built around micro-payments or subscriptions. It could disrupt the dominance of companies like Facebook and offer an alternative distributed social networking experience

• A virtual reality social network. If VR/AR technologies become more mainstream,

I mean, they are disruptive startup ideas, sure enough. GPT-4 didn't bother answering.
Nice. Except I prefer Tawny Port, but I'll still remember it.
If you look at the supposed age where college truly was a golden ticket, the assumption was that it was the skills taught that got you the job, even if the skills were tenuously related to the job. My grandfather studied geography and history and spent time teaching those before ending up as an accountant and being hired as a "university graduate" at GM. That would never happen today. The accounting department would want someone who studied accounting.

Was it actually about the skills or was it about the capability signaling? With a degree, you had a reasonable argument back then to make that you were in the top 10% of possible workers for skilled tasks. Now with post secondary education, you are maybe top 50%? Now that everyone goes to university, the signal has disappeared for all but the highest ranked institutions.
You make a good point. I can browse the web and while I do I see pictures which get "copied" into my memory, somehow. However somebody looking at my brain with a microscope probably could not see those images in my brain, they are not localized that way. So copying something into my brain is not copyright infringement because I don't copy the image, I only allows the image to have some kind of affect on my brain. That is not copying I would argue. it is "experiencing".

AI is a big brain which consumes the web almost like humans do. It "sees" the pictures on the web when it adds their characteristics to its associative memory. The AI then generates images. But unless it comes up with a clear copy of somebody else's work, it is not copyright infringement.

I am not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt.
Strange that a lot of the comments here basically say "who needs this?"

But I remember when TVs were 640x480-ish and 1920x1080 was amazing. And 4k.

Maybe this won't be for knees in live patients. Maybe it won't be for MRIs in the far-flung corners of the world.

But what if it was for researchers to find elusive parts of the brain? What if the high quantity of data led to better algorithms for current MRIs to make them faster (which probably means cheaper).

I think of pure science and how it doesn't immediately teach us something, but later it answers (or provokes) questions and moves the needle.

Just saying.

That doesn't mean I don't groan at some advances - like any advance that "adds value" to some product by collecting more data without your consent. :)
Bullshitization. If the purpose of jobs is to ensure that people have exactly one job, no more and no less, or the purpose of a job is to know that there is a person dedicated to a particular thing, then the work must expand, through ever-increasing amounts of bullshit, until the job takes the correct number of hours.

Likely to happen, not looking forward to this.

FWIW when I was in business school, one professor strongly argued (based on an Aswath Damodaran blog/video - he is a business school "celebrity") that R&D should generally be considered a capital expense in terms of valuing companies even when it can be considered an operational loss on an income statement. Technically, this (likely catastrophic) accounting change may be kind of correct in a pure sense.

However, the "asset" associated with software development seems pretty uniquely hard to transfer. Almost every other intangible asset has a strong marketable component (eg a patent on a widget, a copyright on a song), whereas software just doesn't have one. Licensing doesn't count here - that's not a transfer of the asset.
Apple has been shipping hardware directly from China for awhile now, but ya, sometimes they hit a fulfillment center, but is the hardware there at time of sale? Does it have to be in California rather than another state? Well, I’m sure Apple can figure this out, but it sounds like a poorly worded regulation to me.

China could always put their fulfillment centers in favorable tax districts (because that is definitely fungible, they just have to ship the products from there after they arrive from China). California should really just tax where the product is definitely going rather than same vague notion of where it is could come from.

My theory was that the isekai concept justifies a lot of storytelling framework:

* You can have a main character with modern sensibilities and attitudes, and yet fit him in a fantasy- or historical world. You can and often do get away with asking Nobunaga Oda if he's considered using the blockchain to enhance his military presence.

* The MC having to come to terms with his new world provides a lore-sane way to soft-launch the worldbuilding.
The business version of onedrive is just a shell around SharePoint which has a bunch of awkward character restrictions. This is the cause of that. I don't use consumer onedrive but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't do this.
> and (2) have clearer measurable objective functions (profit)

This is a bit like saying that the goal of government is GDP per capita. Yes, both are important, and both are indicators of doing a good job at something, but what a business does is the most important thing: how does it adapt to reality and make sure it is always doing something useful enough to pay for?

Government doesn't necessarily do things people want to pay for, as then it might do much less stuff, but people do want to feel as though they're getting value for money from their taxes, and that the government isn't spending so much that taxes go up vastly and their currency is inflated so much their careful savings are wiped out.
Because he disagreed with the implication of the question and thought it was more important to address that?

It’s probably a noble topic and worth talking about but it seems to be so narrow can you really do a wholly podcast on this? Seems better for a one off or a short series of podcasts, no?
Also it requires an inherent level of talent which gets turned into skill.

Not everyone who takes piano and music harmony lessons can become a jazz composer, especially in 6 weeks or 6 months.

R&D spending used to be ridiculously privileged - you could operationalize your loss and in some cases still capitalize the transferrable portion of the resulting assets. People don't really understand that. However, this kind of accounting makes things like government grants work, so it's not exactly good that it changed this way.
Can't believe they're still repeating a debunked conspiracy theory. /s

If we are considering a stable company the only problem is that you expensed more since 2017 than you would have normally done, i.e. you effectively paid less taxes over 5 years. Now you need to catch up. I admit it's not fun, especially if everybody expects it won't happen, but overall it's the same tax.
> having to swap between either physical computers or dual-boot is just asking too much for me.

Funnily enough I found myself in the same situation but with the reverse outcome. The computer I currently use daily dual-boots Fedora and Windows 11, but I don't think I've touched Windows in months, probably not since I first set it up actually.

I do sometimes get issues with very specific games, but my philosophy is that I'd rather miss out on a piece of software than have it tie to me a specific OS, though it sounds like your more into gaming than me so I can see why that'd be more of an issue for you.
It is missing absolutely nothing useful. It also will receive security patches through 2031, unlike the normal LTSC distribution which gets 5 years of support. You have complete control over which updates, if any, are installed.

It is a big pain in the neck to get an LTSC or LTSC IoT license.

It is worth it.
If I was a company in the 80's or 90's, I'd use spreadsheets if I need declarative data stuff, and I'd use a boring blub language like BASIC for everything else. Few business problems need the type of logical inference Prolog provides.

Your early comments were just a bunch of saying other people were wrong in general. It wasn't just about path of least resistance.

Also if you want to read my other comment chain on this thread, I would not say that electrons do find the path of least resistance. They follow every path, and so would light.

Disclaimer: I am unaffiliated with the developer/company/product mentioned below.

When I was still on Windows 10, I used Start10. After...overwriting my Windows 10 image with Windows 11 (I needed WSL2 to operate my Seagate NAS/Linux based software RAID5 after Seagate's own firmware declared that all four physical drives had failed simultaneously--they of course hadn't, what an incredible slap in the face), I upgraded to Start11.

Yes, I agree, in principle it's absurd to pay anything at all to replace a window manager component whose functionality seems to diverge from what I personally consider useful with every iteration of the underlying OS. Nor am I under any illusion that all the crap is no longer wasting system resources, merely because I no longer see it.

I suppose sometimes there is a bit of comfort to be derived from appearances alone, and the developer of Start11 cleverly figured out what I consider a very reasonable price point to attach to said comfort.
The Russian army was several times the size of the Ukrainian in troops and armored vehicles. Their air force was even larger, relatively speaking. They've been a major arms exporter for half a century, with all kinds of supposedly cutting-edge equipment (like these tanks). They were one of the largest and deadliest militaries in the world, on paper. This was supposed to be an absolute cake walk for them, and the result was considered a foregone conclusion.

More than a year later, they're struggling to hold on to a few border regions against Ukrainian counterattack--and to accomplish that required large-scale conscription and rolling out obsolete mothballed equipment.

So I wouldn't dismiss reports like these as propaganda so easily, myself...
I can see it your way. Point taken.
Yep, that one was insane.

These have to be ex-employees of national security groups like the NSA, etc. who are already familiar with this type of stuff. The Stuxnet-type employees who understand everything at the deepest levels and can (and will) do anything to make it happen.

I'm actually surprised they have a PR person. "Um, nothing to see here!" would be my standard response.

I used to take the night train between Shanghai and Beijing. It was ok, but train stations in China are not generally as central as they are in Europe/Japan (although usually better positioned than the states). The HSR stations are even less convenient in their locations (eg Beijing South vs Beijing main station), however, so now it’s a bit less convenient. The new HSR trains have replaced the night trains (no need for a bed on a four hour ride).

Like how Windows XP on an old computer still "works just fine"?

What does work just fine in terms of software that's ever updating mean? It doesn't matter if it's called 4 or 5 or any other label.

On the comments: my point is more that we should not base the NodeJs standard on something that's not regularly maintained / updated. There are infinite amount of things that can be improved on for a "standard" server framework used by millions. You don't say Node "is done" and leave it? People would definitely fork it or move on (as happened in the past).

Prolog feels like a really useful feature was hauled out of some other programming language and made to stand on its own. Like if I pulled regular expressions out of Perl and tried to make them their own language.
