I'd happily pay 5€ per month for YouTube premium just to get rid of the ads, but (at least in Germany) you also get YouTube music, so it's 16€.
I don't understand this pricing at all. They're excluding all potential customers that already have a Spotity or Apple Music subscription - becaus who want's to pay twice for the same content?

Accredited investor requirements are NOT “a good faith requirement,” and there absolutely are ways “for Purism to validate your accredited investor status.” This statement, in a general solicitation e-mail no less, would not get sign off from any competent securities counsel.

Their fundraising site is tighter but still leaky. The notes are governed by Washington law [1], for example, which means e.g. they can’t ignore investor protections for non-Americans (as they claim). Also, other jurisdictions have securities laws—it is incorrect to claim if “not a United States citizen there is no restriction to invest” [2].

Finally, they are selling these notes through their store, which offers check out with Stripe. I was able to get to a credit-card checkout page. That’s a no-no on multiple levels.

(If you want to do something like this properly, look into Tier 1 Reg A+ offerings [3]. There are turnkey providers, e.g. StartEngine [4], though I'm skeptical of anyone requiring large up-front payments.)

Animals love meat too, so it's not just a human thing. Many of them will prefer meat as well.

otoh, not many people believe vegetables are delicious. That preference should be stronger, from an evolutionary perspective, since it's less work to hunt plants.
To be clear, this isn't an academic study, it's basically an op-ed, published in a magazine dedicated to position papers about animal agriculture [1]. I would not read very much into this one specific article.

Unfortunately, the scientific jury is still out about meat consumption from a nutritional standpoint---it's clearly not required, and certain types of meat we're pretty sure are harmful, but consumed carefully there may well be benefits from the non-harmful types. In any case, effect sizes are likely to be small at the population level, or we'd have discovered something major by now.

The upshot? Try changing your meat consumption patterns and see how you feel -- if you feel better, consider making the change permanent!

I'm not sure what your point is here. You're trying to make some kind of reductio ad absurdum argument about what, statistics in general? Causal analysis is bad because causation is complicated at the intersection of social science and medicine? All models are wrong and therefore all models are useless?

The primary absurdity here is that the author didn't even do an acceptable correlational study, yet presented a specific and strong causal conclusion. The author failed to establish any causality for anything at all, other than weakly ruling out Covid as a notable cause of excess death in Germany.

The author's hypothesis is that people being cold (due to high energy prices) is the cause, but they absolutely do not manage to establish even the faintest hint of a valid causal argument to support that hypothesis.
I'm really perplexed too especially since the crease is still so visibile and the build quality so weak.

I feel like carrying small phone and a tablet/laptop is still a significantly better value any way you look at it unless you travel a lot without any storage on your human. I found the most ergonomic travel setup for me is a Lenovo Yoga laptop and the small samsung s22. Both of which can be bought for less than 1800$.
Yup. The livestream version is a "super chat" (or "super sticker" is an option), but even regular videos can turn on "super thanks" which let viewers donate and leave a comment. In any case, youtube takes 30%, so many streamers try to push to a third party option that takes a much lower fee. And the "and leave a comment" turns people off that option I'm sure, it'd be nice if they made it optional and just let you pseudo-anonymously support someone's video. Most people won't realize you can delete the comment right after making it and the channel still gets your money (not sure if the channel can still see the comment contents if any/account that did it). There's also "gifted memberships" which like memberships themselves is another feature lifted directly from Twitch. Given youtube's catch-up stance (Twitch also makes it difficult to use adblock) it's not hard to call them "failing" at monetizing; there are many interesting A/B experiments that could be done that they are not doing. (I think gifted memberships is no longer an A/B test feature but standard by now... so they do them sometimes, but not enough.) Part of it is also probably just Google culture; if something is "only" going to net them a few million in profit, it's not worth doing.

...since the invention of agriculture, yes. But prior to agriculture, meat was a reasonably large part of diet in a number of places.
Their pricing takes into account that not all users use both sides of the subscription.
I like this part:

> We have to hope that enough of the users whose systems are crashing realize that it’s due to the “shell enhancement” program (rather than blaming Windows itself, which is the more likely case)

I would 100% blame Windows (or Microsoft, rather) for making the shell so awful that people have to resort to these tactics.

You can't cripple the steering wheel on a car and then blame people for not finding perfect aftermarket substitutes.
If you would have gone through the WinRT evolution since its introduction on Windows 8, you would believe.

> Uh... AMA? Suggestions? Thoughts?

Now that the Y is SVG rather than being an image, it shouldn't be too tricky to adjust the background color from orange to whatever the user has set for their topbar? I use blue for the topbar, and it kind of annoys me that the logo stays orange.

Heck, my instinct tells me that if we're lucky a transparent background would do the job without needing to make the SVG dynamically defined.

Edit: I see you're drawing the background color over the Y to give it flat tops. That makes the transparent background difficult. But I'd still like it if the background color was taken from the user's topcolor instead of always being orange.
I would have bought premium years ago if the free version lets you play in background when on mobile. This attitude of going out of your way to cripple EXTREMELY basic feature to get me to pay premium didn't sit well with me.

Asking me to pay for the ability to have background play to me is akin to opening a restaurant and serving unsalted food and asking 2% extra for salt in the food.

I already pay for a few other google services (google one, google cloud etc) and their customer service (that I have needed on the rare occasion) is ..... almost non existent as well.

Will most probably use alternate frontends or a pihole or whatever other alternative there is for as long as I can.
Outside of musicians, the public and mainstream just have an easier time identifying with songs that feature lyrics. Most people need to possess some rudimentary ability to play an instrument to appreciate and to look closer into individual instrumentalists.

Of course an obvious exception is classically minded listeners, but they're sadly relatively rare as well.

As a pianist, it's easy for me to rattle off the names of my favorite pianists: Fats Waller, Thelonious Monk, Keith Jarrett, Sviatoslav Richter, etc.
> it would be much more reasonable for OP to note that they don't

If someone who does not qualify as an Accredited Investor has invested into a security that is only allowed to be sold to people who qualify as Accredited Investors, then the law has clearly been broken by someone. You don't need to graduate from Yale to understand this.

The OP's opinion would likely be like mine, or like any reasonable person's, which is that (1) an illegal thing has clearly happened, (2) your kid has clearly done at least one illegal thing, (3) you may also have done something illegal.

What kind of person would look at the facts of that situation and think "hmm, I dunno, this law stuff is difficult, no way for me to know if I have any legal risk"?
YouTube Premium is the best thing I pay for each month (I actually don't pay for it it's included with Pixel Pass). It a little more than Apple Music and Spotify and you get that included into YouTube premium. YouTube has the largest music library out of any music streaming service. If you watch YouTube on a TV, YouTube premium is a must.
What is the state of today’s folding phones, did the hardware improve over the first attempts?

1. Is the unfolded screen a continuous flat surface? (I.e. is the vertical bulge in the center gone?)

2. Are there gaps around the hinge or screen edge? Is the phone weatherproof?

3. Are there gaps when the phone is in the folded state?

That is a good point. It is probably not fair to average globally.

Looking for some US only numbers [1]. It seems reasonable to estimate the US as having ~200M MAU. The revenue numbers reported there are ~$11B, ~$15B, ~$20B globally of which ~$2.5B, ~$3.5B, ~$4B were US only. So, the US was ~25% going down to ~20% globally.

If we extrapolate that forward at 20% (which likely overestimates the US share which was decreasing over the reported period) then the ~$28B in the current year would have ~$6B in US revenue over 200M users which is around $30 per year. This is 3x the number I originally calculated of $10 per year. This still results in 400% revenue for Youtube Premium over the average ad-supported user.

cold chain hypothesis!
> but the fact that they are refusing to tell him why he's being removed makes this suspicious

FWIW this sounds normal to me. Many lawyers consider standard operating procedure with litigious individuals to be: "Give them as few specifics as possible".
there are many documentations tells you the detail in their code.... even with the most basic usage
I find copilot and chatgpt constantly useful as just a simple way of automating what would otherwise be tedious work. I think the most important thought in using them is that as you use them more you get a sense if what they are going to be able to do and what they aren't, which lets you know when you can use them (and therefore use them with more confidence and more often)

Especially in refactoring or working with poor codebases. I do notice with copilot specifically some people seem to get wildly different response times with it, for me it gives suggestions almost instantly so as im typing ive got an ongoing suggestion I can accept at any time as it gets closer to what I intend or ignore if not. A common really useful thing is when I have to set up a series of something (recently in a power plant code I set up parameters for a certain kind of battery) and then I just start writing for each other kind of battery it suggests the whole boilerplate for every case, I can go back and fill in the details and exceptions.

As for chatgpt its more useful at interpreting existing code. I often give it a giant function and say "I want you to split off this part and put it into its own thread, get the output with a queue" or something like that. Again, output can often need a little bit of massaging, but I find it reduces cognitive load involved in doing such a task. The trick is to be naturally skeptical of the output but appreciate how much of your life is spent writing nonsense.

I've also found that learning to put what I want exactly into words can be a particular skill that has helped my communication. Making sure you know the name and function of every tool you use. I think if I had said that to myself before I started using these things id have been incredulous, "of course I know the name of things" but no, its a different thing to be talking about them often, especially when you have an idiot savant that takes everything you say too literally. You have to learn to be consise and precise
> I fucking love writing. Most people I know also fucking love writing, and I do mean love.

One can tell from the opening of your comment. Composition, cadence, vocabulary, repetition. It ties together.

I prompted an LLM to produce an enthusiastic expression around writing, but it came up with drivel like

> Writing fills my heart with pure delight, igniting my soul and inspiring my mind with boundless creativity.

I found myself tempted to instruct it on how to write well but that sort of defeats the point.

And maybe I suck at prompting but the appropriate combination of profanity, brevity, yet seriousness was hard for me to get it to do.
Point taken. In any case, single-writer helps with concurrency and consistency. For V7 Unix, I think one solution could be to split the file into blocks, each with a single writer. Admittedly this makes reads of the whole file more costly, so one has to be careful about the block size.
> my new way of measuring IQ is that if someone can't tell the difference between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 response qualities

So your measurement of IQ is to see if someone spent time playing around with GPT3.5 and GPT4, whether their English language skills are good enough to tell subtle differences between the two, and/or whether someone downvotes you for this rather arbitrary and highly biased way of measuring IQ?

Here's the simple answer: Eat and drink what you want and like.

Ignore anything and everything else anyone tells you, unless it's from your doctor or nutritionist concerning specific health conditions you have.

If you want cake, eat cake. If you want beer, drink beer. If you want steak, eat steak. If you want onions, eat onions. Nothing else really matters.
> since when does any legitimate organization advertise that you will receive a "5% bonus on your investment value!" if you send cash now

It’s not uncommon to give first-close investors a perk for committing early. That said, it invites scrutiny when targeted at retail investors. (In a vacuum of diligence no less.)
Because they'd have more capital to reinvest in their business, as I stated. But even if they don't reinvest it the rest of us still benefit in the form of increased tax receipts.

> Teaching in non-STEM subjects is ideological; it has to come from some viewpoint. And without tenure, it can reduce down to "teach your subject from the viewpoint the administrators want, or you're fired."

Similarly it can be used to entrench any position into the faculty. The university decides who gets tenure and only offer tenure to the people with the 'right sort of thinking' and now those are the only people around and willing to speak.
Does an LLM anticipate? Is a slime mold more intelligent than an LLM?
The way your landing page is laid out isn't doing you any favors. If you are going to build a rapid application development platform, look at Retool for inspiration in terms of designs and copywriting. Cut the token stuff, otherwise you will lose customers or self select for crypto bros. The license you chose will turn off most professional development shops and the ones using the platform would be based in places like eastern Europe where the license will be ignored entirely. Your landing page design is fifteen years out of date, this is the sort of design used to bamboozle small trades shops and non tech companies in places like the midwest and the US south, you will have a hard time attracting the sort of web engineers that will help make it go viral. Again, it depends what sort of customers you are trying to sell to, but if you intend to make a profit, the usually advice would be to offer a cloud offering like WordPress. Selling web frameworks rarely work out unless your product is a specialized database.

Your copywriting gives off strong old school enterprise sales vibes with a dash cryptomania. You are not going to get much organic product led growth among the US under 40 crowd here. I suggest taking a look at https://payloadcms.com/ and study their design, execution, and copywriting.

What a great link you’ve posted — a fascinating read indeed.

A law professor who took his boss to court, filing a 200 page complaint after waiting until the last possible day for filing, which included a seven year history of gripes leading up to the physical altercation that went to trial… a law professor who lifts and plays golf who also got a dodgy post-hoc diagnosis a year after the event that it was the altercation tore his shoulder and not his lifestyle choices… a law professor who went through four attorneys before finally deciding to represent himself in court…

You’d perhaps think I was creating hyperbole from the linked judgment but the judgement from the appeal court — especially the tone in which it is written — is no less damning than the facts I just picked out from the first few sections.

It’s appalling that the WSJ published this professor’s blog entry as editorial commentary.
You must live in a part of the world where political and emotional manipulation is somehow lacking.
To your point, it can be avoided by not doing it at all. But you’re definitely 100% going to screw up the environment by installing panels on unspoiled land.
I use Copilot with nvim and C-x C-e at my terminal. I can use it to build out pipelines in the shell so easily it's crazy.

But in the end, it's just a tool. If it isn't working for you, it isn't working for you. For me, I prefer thinking in what structure to me as bigger building blocks.

So I prefer vim bindings because I used up teenage time learning it. And now I don't think in terms of characters but in terms of text-blocks.

I prefer writing Java in IntelliJ and Rust in Clion because I don't think in char terms since I can use the built-in refactor tools. E.g. I write functions inline and then extract them rather than writing them as functions and calling.

Likewise when I'm at the shell I think of pipelines as less than pieces. Being an experienced shell user I can usually write a parallel pipeline with conditionals and loops correct first time verbally with no computer usually.

But my copilot flow is improved even better. I talk to the computer in components:

# get all private ip addresses in Alibaba region cn-zhangjiakou
ips=...prompted text...
# ssh to each and check last long line
...Prompted text...

It's faster than me and this is great for r-i-search with fzf.

Overall, quite happy. But just a tool.
What are new people hired in at? Inflation adjusted, are they being hired in at the a lower rate than the older employees were hired in at?

Giving them my card data feels more expensive than $12/month. The model of paying to remove ads always felt like hostage taking.

"Is this ad annoying enough for you? No? You think you're a tough guy? Here's an advert of me slicing off your toes. Now tell me your home address so I can mail them to you. Read me the CVV2 numbers from the back of the card to make it stop!"
Lots of nice stuff, including plenty of Cedar and Interlisp-D related content.

Great to create more awareness that it wasn't only about Smalltalk.
For writing I find it makes an excellent rubber duck. I absolutely do not expect it to write long form prose for me, but I can explain what I am trying to say and talk to it about how I might present that information.
Personally, I think they're both sub-optimal because it's not abstracting the arg. check all the way. I think code is easier to reason about if your functions return one data type... and although the examples are returning boolean, in most cases functions return "stuff", and applying that to the examples would make their type "stuff | boolean". As the codebase scales this can be a source of pain for adding new things or finding bugs. The solution is abstracting the param check, and then composing two functions, one function that checks params, followed by the function that modifies "stuff". That way not only is the logic reused cleanly, but the functions will always return "stuff". This has drawbacks of course, as abstracting too much can become unwieldy, however I think there is a lot of power that comes along with it.
