> If they're only getting just enough to subsist (has all their basic needs met), they probably don't have a lot of extra energy to produce more value. You need to eat to have energy to work, more so than just the bare minimum to live. They also probably won't be very effective at working if they only have the bare minimum to survive, since that doesn't include tools or places to actually work.

Let me rephrase since you're seemingly willfully missing the point: If someone has all their basic needs met plus enough to have energy, what mechanism would cause them to fail if they choose to produce more value (through labor) than the value required to meet their basic needs plus enough to have energy?

> And then once again, if they are expected to put out more than what they're getting in, they probably won't live very long. If you're only consuming a few hundred calories but putting out a couple thousand a day, you're not long for this world.

Input and output are obviously not measured in calories. Again it seems you're willfully missing the point.

I live pretty frugally, and easily live on ~$30K/year. I have at points been paid $180K/year (annualized) for significant periods of time. If I chose to do the same amount of work as when I made $180K/year, live on $30K/year, and give away the other $150K/year in work, receiving no income for it, by what mechanism would I wither away and die?

If you are referring to OCaml, many people in the community care a lot about writing good documentation so that it's not just the type signatures. In fact the OCaml website team have made amazing leaps and strides integrating package documentation directly in the website.

And the experience using OCaml LSP Server with VSCode nowadays is honestly pretty good--type annotations displayed, error messages, go to definition, generating interface files. The core functionality is all there.

i wrote implementations of the kermit protocol (and vt100 terminal emulators) for z80 cp/m machines and for the 6502-based BBC micro (both purely in assembler) way back in the mid 1980s. it was fun, and the protocol was really well documented, unlike some others i've had to deal with (i'm looking at you DDE & CORBA). oh, happy times! a bit later i wrote an implementation in C (and a bit of assembler for the interrupt-driven i/o) for the ibm pc.
Steve Jobs Once Wrote His Mentor an Email to Criticize His Company
Sure I can take a stab at it.

For the vast majority of America in order to participate in life you have to drive a car somewhere to do something. So this could be driving to get a prescription filled, it could be going to school, to work, etc. The way the government "mandates" it is by only building additional car-only infrastructure (highways, etc.) and using zoning policies that dictate that SFH and big-box retailers are the only thing that can be built. Of course places like, say, New York City have public transit but for most of America the government effectively mandates that you use a car.

While the government may not explicitly state that "you must use cars" if you take a look at state transportation department budgets, for example, you'll see that the funding is all for cars. We could split hairs and say it's not a "mandate" but I think it is effectively a mandate and if you asked, most politicians would say something like "Americans love their cars and freedom" which means "we support car-only infrastructure".
This is one of those classic problems where if they didn't violate civil rights and something terrible happen the public backlash clamoring for civil rights violations would push them 10x further into outright oppressive practices (i.e. after Sept 11th in the US) than if they'd just broken the rules in the first place.

I read about half so far and it's damn interesting to get into his head and see how he changed over the years and how he didn't.

I think Rob Siltanen said it better:

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

In his "Think Different" campaign (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPX9v8F547k).

The one thing you couldn't do was ignore Steve Jobs.

That they moved to ban as a first step is indicative of their regressive mindset on technology broadly. It properly encompasses why Germany is so backwards when it comes to tech and has so few leaders in the field, while supposedly being an industrial and economic superpower. They're way too slow, they're too dogmatic.

The approach doesn't work and it indicates a lot of bad thinking regarding new tech. Which explains why SAP is one of the biggest technology companies in Europe, and they're small compared to the US giants now.

Case in point: Salesforce sales 2020: $17b; SAP sales 2020: $27b. Salesforce sales last four quarters: $31b; SAP sales last four quarters: $30.8b.

Microsoft can unleash a hundred billion dollars of capital investment at AI. Which companies in Europe can and will do that? None. Instead you'll get Macron touting a $30 billion government collaboration program on AI, which will take ten years to get anywhere, and will accomplish nothing in the end.

There are few areas of tech that Europe isn't left in the dust by the US and China. The US is still the world's pre-eminent superpower and it fully intends to aggressively utilize AI to keep its advantages (and it will, just as it did with each era of tech). There's nothing EU bans will do to stop that, it merely provides further advantage to the US as it battles to dominate AI. The giant cloud leaders will have a huge advantage to begin with, so Europe is starting off in a bad way regardless.

Sharp selloff in First Republic shares causes alarm in Washington
You have a nice green field in your little town. There is this one guy that notices a gopher every so often and starts panicking and trying to get support to bring some professional to push them out.

Most people don’t walk in the field and have never seen or been bothered about the gopher or his little hole.

So everybody brushes this guy off as paranoid and his fears as exaggerated.

Then one day in your small walk you stumble upon the hole and start panicking yourself and trying to raise the problem.

You are wondering why isn’t everyone outraged by the gophers. Even that guy that used to warn everyone daily about the seems to not care anymore.

Well, it’s not that he doesn’t care. He is tired and defeated.
Uh, there was literally a White House speech in 2022 on the subject. "You should be using these record-breaking profits to increase production and refining" - words from the president himself. This ended up kicking off a months long negotiation to convince oil and gas companies to increase domestic production.

For the Canadian industry I think you are underrating how much of a hand the government of Alberta themselves are playing in this. This has been an economic development project for them and things like the Keystone pipeline have been spearheaded by the government to get access to the global market as a way of attracting investment from the oil and gas industry.

"The gap between Target and Williams Sonoma" is a decent summary of my frustration with an awful lot of product selection in both the US and in Germany.
It's not just BBB. This description could apply to a good number of chain stores these days. There are exceptions but this seems to be an increasing trend. There are ghost town stores everywhere you look.

If I make a trip to (for example) Target, it feels nothing like Target of 20 years ago. The chances are good that they don't have what I hoped to find there. I'm getting used to being regularly disappointed and am learning to plan around waiting for an Amazon delivery.

This seems to be a vicious circle. The thing stores had which Amazon didn't was that they used to have a decent selection of things you could get "right now" and they're giving up on that niche to try and compete on price. I don't see this ending well.
What's the law for when someone has to point this out too, I wonder?

First off: If you're going to reference something as a way of proving your point, without any other supporting evidence, please post a link.

Secondly: Microsoft voluntarily changed their practices regarding IE and Teams in order to appease regulators during active litigation. Their practices regarding IE happened during the US v Microsoft that required MS be split, but was later appealed, and given the changes that happened in the meantime, the DoJ agreed to not seek to break up MS. The Teams unbundling is actively happening now, see: https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-will-reportedly-unbundle-...

It's undisputed that they are a monopoly on their platform. It's a legal finding that they are a duopoly when it comes to "Mobile Gaming" and that several of their practices violate anti-competitive laws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple#Decision

The OP is saying that Apple should be held to the same standards that Microsoft/IE was and be forced to allow other marketplaces on their phones. 35 States Attorneys General, AND Microsoft agree with this and have filed Amicus Briefs to this point. This is not some fringe viewpoint.

At the very least, Apple should be forced to allow full browsers on their platform, not wrappers around the safari rendering engine, which is directly in-line with the changes made during the US v Microsoft lawsuit and subsequent settlement, and while there was no legal finding related to these changes, they appeased the DoJ enough to settle.

To counter my own argument, the other possibility is OpenAI like features become a commodity. I.e. build a product around OpenAI and switch to Google's (eventual) offering at some point.

However, embeddings might end up being the true vendor lock in of our time. If I've based my entire company on OpenAI embeddings (and spent lots of money on these), it isn't clear there would be an easy way to translate to another vendor's offerings.

What does this have to do with anything?

Libraries handle the preserving and sharing to the public of information. In spite of copyright, not thanks to it.

Historically they literally copied one book into paper to duplicate/preserve it. That would be copyright infringement now.

And more recently copyright holders are trying to delete any archives that could be used for that purpose like the internet archive or LibGen.
In other media we have game roms and copies of shows being illegal. Same treatment if it has been a week since release or it's been 20 years and you can't get it legally from anywhere.
This is a top class example of organizational blame shifting at it's extreme, manifesting as user hostile behavior.
I do think there are important differences between MS and Apple’s behaviors. MS was getting their product out using other companies products, and then constrained the UX of those OEM’s customers. Apple would have to get an app store on some android devices and windows/linux machines and then try to enforce their rules there to be in the same ballpark. The fact that Apple puts rules on companies that use their platform is the inverse of this scenario: this would be like if a bunch of the OEMs were trying to dictate terms to MS.

What Epic wants to do is have their game store on multiple OSes produced by other companies and then call the shots on those. I actually think they are closer to the spirit of what MS was doing, and given the chance they would leverage any advantageous market position they could achieve (or run to the courts) to shape OS customers’ UX in a fashion that is more similar to what MS did.

Apple wants a sandbox in the world; Epic and MS want the world to be their sandbox. If Apple’s sandbox becomes dominant it will be de facto because of people choosing to use a better competing product; Epic’s and MS’ actions are attempts to create a de jure dominant sandbox.
Yeah, everything was being handled as it should until the police fucked up. Errors introduce confusion. Confusion leads to delays. It's not Twitter's fault.

> Twenty-five days before the abduction, police sent a search warrant to Twitter to learn more information about the man police believe was grooming the teen. But they misspelled the username.

> No standard and easy way of implementing interfaces.

> In Haskell, this is done with typeclasses ...

> In OCaml there’s no way to do this. I have to explicitly pass functions along with my values, maybe in a product type, or with a functor, or as an argument.

Haskell is a mixed community / paradigm language too.

I routinely program in "Braindead Haskell" (keep stuff simple and direct as much as possible). Funnily, in that programming style, using typeclasses for _all_ interface types is bad style.

Instead, the Handle pattern [0] can be used. Which really is just shoveling functions in a product type. And imagine - it works worderfully.

Everyone has to find their own style I guess.

Maybe this is a good moment to rant, but I just don't get what the fuck it is that Chrome does that people just _will not_ get off the Chromium ride. They will happily bend over a table for Google/MS, all in order to not have to use Firefox. I've used Firefox for a decade and a half now, and I've never understood it. It has never failed me, and I've never needed anything else.

Email? Works. News websites? They work. Banking sites? Yep. Google Maps in 3D? Works. Which special, golden webshit is it that breaks on Firefox? And what do people mean Firefox is slow? I've tried Chrome, and boy either we live in differen universes, or there isn't, in fact, any difference in speed.

Perhaps the boring explanation is, if you don't start writing in the morning, you're already doing something else when you think you should start writing.

I program equally well early in the morning or late at night, basically the two times in the day when my daily tasks are mostly settled. If I advertise early morning programming, it doesn't feed into the mantra of "hard working" in corporate USA as well as the "burning the midnight oil" tropes.

So, I come into the office two hours early and get my programming done before the meetings start and get little to no recognition, or I stay three hours late doing the same and get lots of recognition. Savvy people will soon learn to feed the trope of working hard, working late, especially when it can excuse a late entry to work (but arriving early never permits a late exit).

I'd say the late night hacker is more a stereotype driven by culture.
