> The problem is, payment is hard.

Ehhh, it's not hard, it's just centralized, with the associated problems of a few entities having an oligopoly. I can have Stripe and/or Patreon integrated with a site in a few hours of work. PayPal isn't hard to integrate either, they just suck. (I have no experience with Ko-Fi).

> Micropayments are still ridiculously expensive

So don't do micropayments. Payments in the range of $5-$10 are less expensive, and it makes you more dependent on loyal fans rather than generous drive-bys. It's harder to get loyal fans--you have to produce quality content--but when you get them it's a more stable source of income. And from the perspective of content consumers, that's exactly what I want: higher quality content. Larger payments also means your account doesn't get used as often by hackers testing out credit card numbers they bought off the darkweb.

> - PayPal has been known to randomly close down accounts and hold your money hostage for months and years, especially if you're dealing with "morally grey" content (e.g. if you write about sex or anything related to crime)

Yeah, that's a real problem, and one of the reasons we need legally-mandated payment-neutrality if we're going to give so much power to credit card companies.

You'll rarely hear me say anything positive about cryptocurrency, but this is a rare exception: cryptocurrency is a viable workaround for content creators that need a workaround (which isn't most content creators). But to be clear, I'm not talking about crypto-bro flavor of the week: USDC is pretty ideal for this, or the two popular zk-Snark/ring signature privacy coins[1] if privacy is desirable. Variable value is a problem, not a feature, so I don't see a reason to accept that unless you have a need for privacy: paying with Bitcoin is dumb.

> - Why is Joe Random Blogger now blasting my email address with newsletters?

> - Uh, I did not consent Joe Random Blogger to suddenly draw in 20$ a month instead of 5$

Again, these tend to be problems with lower-quality content. If you're trying to build a loyal fanbase you do that by providing quality content, not by spamming or stealing.

[1] I'm not naming these coins by name because that tends to get flagged.
I think it's worth pointing out that 112 (and other common rejections like 101) may have more public writing about them than almost any other part of the law since every patent rejection is public record, but it's still pretty subjective at the examination stage.

I recently bought a red headlamp for night hiking because I wanted to try something that wouldn't kill my night vision (under a good moon I prefer to hike without a light as using a light kills your night vision and thus your distance vision) but if it doesn't draw bugs that's an extra plus. At the borderline I usually avoid using my headlamp because the bugs it draws are annoying--when something flies a couple of inches from your face it's very bright!

The thing I dislike about many maths problems (including many proposed in this thread) is taking the wrong initial approach can make it take forever.

Ask HN: How can we improve remote work?
Hey everyone,

What strategies, tools, or practices have you found to be effective to make remote work better?

I'm particularly interested in;

* Sense of feeling together
* Ability to talk to the team outside meetings
* Natural & spontaneous conversations
* Team culture

Let me know your thoughts.

Incorrect, or at the very least studios disagree with you, as they act as if the opposite is true. I'm going to trust their (and their lawyers') judgement over that of yours.

Most forms of protest must by definition cause inconvenience in the short term to create the possibility of positive change in the long term.

Would it have been better if someone had earnestly submitted an AI “photo” and accepted the prize quietly instead?

Reducing this to just a “douche move” seems to miss the forest for the trees. The contest will cease to exist or at minimum cease to have any value/meaning if AI submissions become the norm. An alternate framing is that such a form of protest is a necessary inoculation to prevent infinite “douche moves” going forward.

As dumb as it sounds, I'd buy a second phone for side loading things if I needed to use enough of those apps. Before side loading on my personal phone, I'd want enough real world time to pass to make sure it's not easy to find vulnerabilities that lead to a complete compromise by side loading (they will be found, but it needs to be "zero-click text message for root" levels of rarity).
I guess you haven't read many patent claims.

We both know there are NO sources. You gave a source for the MAUs. Thus, we can only give approximations and estimations of its DAUs.

> I think it's actually the "Monthly" label there that seems somewhat misleading, unless perhaps it means they update the page once a month.

Now you think it's the label's fault, after 7 years? Oh no! "It's misleading"!

Something that has been representative of Mastodon's monthly usage for 7 years is now not believable and is 'misleading'! /s Oh dear.

> In any case, as another commenter mentioned, DAU and MAU tend to be relatively close. You don't go from 1.2M monthly users all the way down to 50K daily active users, that's nonsense. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35600846

Not for federated networks, yet here we are comparing centralized platforms like Facebook, Twitter and counting the numbers as if they are the same which we both know they aren't.

Henceforth, give a proper source that is verifiable that shows Mastodons DAUs and NOT its MAUs next time since you're still struggling to do so.

Completely agree that every program (domain model) is in essence a little language.

> Learning to use the Swing API properly may be difficult, but would it really be easier if the Swing developers invented a new language to write it in?

It absolutely would. I learned both Swing and web programming around the same time and web programming—with its domain-specific HTML and CSS—was far easier to learn, especially for anything beyond the most basic UIs. I never got beyond the point of making a Swing app that looked and behaved just like ≈every other Swing app; in substantially less effort, I could make web apps that looked and interacted in the way I wanted.

What made web programming so much nicer? I see a clear core dynamic: the web had a substantially better conceptual model. The layout system, the separation of content and styling (even if imperfect), the DOM... Compared to Swing and other non-web UI toolkits I tried, it was simpler, more regular and more adaptable. And the simpler conceptual model was directly supported by the web's core domain-specific languages! Sure, in principle, you could make a pure Java library that had a similar model but it would be much less natural and direct than having dedicated DSLs. Java and Java-style OOP is simply not expressive enough to reasonably encode that kind of conceptual model.
I'd guess so they get away with one VM (and have all the containers in one VM and thus under one kernel, for networking them etc?)? One arm64 VM, using qemu to run x86 when needed, achieves that.

Microprocessors in embedded devices are getting pretty capable. I've been asked to port FreeRTOS and Linux in about equal measure.

It's fairly correct regarding copyright, where the default is essentially that the creator owns the material and then every fair use is carved out as an exception to that default assumption.

This makes fair use an affirmative defense, which is default risky because the process starts with somebody accusing you of wrongdoing (potentially criminal wrongdoing).
It would be an improvement, but I think it's closer to an update of first-sale doctrine than it is to a meaningfully supported right to repair.
This really isn't that difficult, all told. Just consider the rules of any sport, and see how conditional so many of those are. Yet they will pick them up just fine.

Yes, they will get it wrong a lot, too. But that is fine so long as you aren't ridiculing them for being wrong. Acknowledge the difference and move on.

For the specific examples you are using, the general idea is that we have a set of phonetics that can be applied to letters and letter pairings. Which one is used is often defined by the rest of the word.

Do kids ask questions? Absolutely. Get used to saying, "I don't know." Or "its complicated with and based on the history of the word." Even better if you can have time to go into the history some and explore it. Because that can be what gets kids interested. Exploring.

(And this is no different than many other things. Why do you have the name that you have? Why is it spelled as it is? In languages with genders, why are some words male and some female? There is no solid logical reason for any of those. Path dependence is a thing.)

The federal bank pays 4.9% interest rate right now.[0] This was a new policy enacted in 2008 -- it didn't used to pay interest rates on deposits.

That's the "wholesale" savings interest rate. The less you are making compared to that, the more your bank is profiting.

As an aside, the interest the banks earn from this is newly created money.

With 17 trillion dollars currently deposited, that's $833 billion of inflationary pressure every year.

Unless You’re Oprah, ‘Be Yourself’ Is Terrible Advice. (2016)
I think there's something to this. Another perspective might be Apple vs Intel, where one of my friends worked (at both) in fairly senior roles 5+ years.

The problem is that companies get really good at solving yesterday's problems. In Intel's case, that was making great CPUs for desktop PCs and servers. I have no doubt that the absolute pinnacle of desktop PC CPU engineering, was done at Intel in the last ~10 years.

The problem is, the world changes. Growth shifts from PC to mobile. People in datacenters start worrying more about cost and energy efficiency and build their own ARM parts. The landscape shifts, and the company is still fighting yesterday's battle. But it doesn't matter anymore-the basis of competition has shifted.

I think it's very difficult to pivot a company's core "basis of competition", or as you've elegantly put it, "self-image". What are we best at? Why are people getting promoted? Who's in leadership roles? The answers to these things need to shift over time, but most companies can't. This is why companies rise and fall.

I think a big problem with Google overall, is that their self-image isn't really customer-oriented. It's more inward-looking, "we're great engineers", "we're not evil", "we build the best distributed systems". The meta lesson is perhaps, orientation around serving your customers is the only thing you can fix, long-term. Amazon gets this. The problem is, it's way more nebulous and hard to pin down, than some of the more specific things Google has anchored on for the past years.

The larger banks simply can't offer high interest rates due to the amount of their deposits. For example, JP Morgan Chase has yearly net income of ~$50 billion. The size of their interest bearing deposits is 1.6 trillion. So every 1% rise in savings account rates costs them $16 billion a year.
For me that would be a reason to avoid buying Samsung from now on. Can't stand bings UI overloaded with visuals that only distract you.

Google produces other products than search - Android for example. Waymo is the best self-driving car company (but the problem is self-driving cars won't work for a long time, if ever).

The problem is all Google's products use the free-plus-advertising model and this has caused them to drift to serving the advertisers rather than serving the users. And that makes it hard to switch gears to offer more benefits to users.

The main problem is Google shifted from making search better for their users

Meanwhile Morocco probably wants to be looking at ways it can turn its renewables into something it can sell to more than one country, probably via some kind of value-add industry.
Yes, but it is still Apple's brand on the line. Which of the following has higher odds?

1. GS going under and Apple bails out its customers who hold these accounts.

2. GS going under and the US government bails out everyone.

Both are as close to 100% that this conversation is effectively meaningless. I just think it is an interesting hypothetical.
I'm very glad people are starting to push back against claims of various LLMs being open source. I was beginning to be worried that the term would be forcefully redefined in the ML space to mean "weights available." With the kickoff of projects like this and Databricks' Dolly, I'm heartened to see the community saying "no, we are willing to spend the compute to make actually open models."

(While it's true that the actual model code of Llama is properly open source, it's also useless for inference by itself. Claiming these models are open source seems like having your cake and eating it too - you get accolades for "open sourcing" but still get to control what happens with it.)

I agree with the principle, but I think your notion of "obsolete" doesn't really match the incremental nature of hardware/software development. When does an iphone go "obsolete"? Apple re-uses pieces, giving them minor tweaks along the way, and stops making and even supporting the old ones after a while. But the code in a phone I would call obsolete will still live on in a current phone. Companies worried about their precious IP will still have a valid excuse to not release the source.
