You're correct that we make money by charging for our software. It's free until you use it to close deals with more than 5 customers, and free forever if you're just using it for NDAs.

Full details on pricing here: https://commonpaper.com/pricing/

Our target customers are B2B SaaS companies, and our goal is to have them start using us when they are small on the free version and grow with them.

I agree that the bigger entities are the hardest ones to get onboard with this, but our users have signed contracts with Fortune 500 companies and large universities, including deals for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's actually in the cases where there's a big mismatch in size that we can provide the most help, although there are plenty of cases where the big company draws a hard line and won't use anything but their in-house contract.
Any theory stating that Lars sucks at playing drums has an unstated premise that there's some other core purpose to playing drums more important than creating music that people find enjoyable.
Tell your parents to sell their house, but the contract includes lifetime tenancy and guaranteed maintenance and renovations. Surely that's not bribery.

It's not bribery if you just happen to visit a new friend's mansion in Hawaii any time you want a vacation.

Perhaps your spouse would be a good choice to be VP of Something Boring at this non-political non-profit charity. Isn't it nice that the employees of TotallyNotCorruptCo always make sure to donate so much money each year? Did we mention that the VP job comes with a car and driver? And can be done from home except for the fund-raiser galas. Totally not a bribe.
I owned a Push 2 and sold it after a year. Never got into it because the pads weren't very good. Soft touches sometimes triggered notes at max velocity which drove me nuts.

The Push 3 has more sophisticated pads with MPE and I'm very skeptical Ableton could pull that off with good QA.

The other thing that I find ridiculous is they sell you a barebones computer for $1,000 with an i3, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. A computer which you cannot use for anything else and you're dependent on Ableton to fix/replace.

For that kind of money you could buy an M2 iPad Pro with more performance and a lot more battery time than 2.5 hours. An iPad can be bought and repaired on any country. If you're touring you can travel with a backup iPad or even buy one pretty much in any big city on Earth.
> There has always been a small but consistent group of parents who stand firmly on their decision to delay giving their child broad access to social media until later, and the vast, vast majority who can't be bothered to.

For the latter group, do you feel like it's always willful ignorance? For example, some parents think you're talking about TikTok, when (as I'm sure you know) it often starts with Roblox/Minecraft chat and associated Discord servers.

What tools have you found useful to help parents understand and manage this?
I am highly critical of Apple's heavy handed "approval" requirements for apps coupled with not allowing users to sideload, but if they're going to do it anyway ostensibly for protecting the user, the least they could do it is block the clearly exploitative loot-box approach.
I'm truly shocked what happened to the Star Wars brand.

While I think the matter has more recently settled it there was a time where folks thought that Outkast's "Hey Ya" was in 11/4.

It's in 4/4 with a 2/4 bar but it still had a lot of folks confused for a while and a whole TikTok meme that lasted for a bit.

Labor action is much more about solidarity then leverage. Yes, in modern labor actions leverage is what most organized workplaces use, however, with such low union membership in North America, you really need to build up a movement of solidarity across non-unionized industries.

Seattle actually has a history of this. In 1919 65,000 workers in Seattle went on a general strike to support shipyard workers. I think there are few better cities across America to build up solidarity. Especially now with Starbucks and other service work getting unionized one shop at a time. Class awareness is increasing, we now have labor heroes such as Christian Smalls. We know what is possible.

There might have been leverage back in 2016, but we didn’t have the same labor class awareness and cross industry solidarity. Your ship might have sailed, but there are other ships, and more workers now organizing and taking as we speak.

There is no business advantage to co-mingling funds...

CTO and Co-founder here.

While we certainly are using technology to help solve the problem, it's more about creating contracts in a way that helps you focus on the key changes from contract to contract. When you build on immutable terms, and the only changes are in the contract's cover sheet, you can focus on the changes and not hunt down for words inside of an inscrutable PDF.
It's intensely sobering isn't it? People haven't changed in 500 years.
Still greedy. Still stupid. Still FOMO.
Whoa, that’s pricey! If I have a handful of customers, I’d definitely not want to be paying $600/yr for contract management. I’m not sure what “support” entails (you aren’t offering legal services, I imagine), but this strikes me as really pricey. Good luck though!

Yea let's just keep workers in such a precarious state that they not only must sell their labor for pennies, but incredibly they must now supply the capital to the corporation, all to do a job that isn't even necessary for a human to do, is hazardous for the worker and the public, and generates tremendous amounts of pollution. Why the "optics" aren't already absolute dog shit is left as an exercise for the reader.

New standard for "LLM is intelligent" dropped: it should be as intelligent as all humanity together, simultaneously, at a fraction of the cost, and many magnitudes faster in terms of speed. Also not just any humanity, but also our particular historical humanity. So that if it doesn't come up with Hitler and defeat him by inventing nukes and what not, based on pre-1900 data, then it's some calculator derivative garbage that mixes up words randomly.

Also it should be able to do my laundry.

How would they eliminate congestion when they're so space inefficient? Even if they're more efficient at traffic flow, there's only so much physical capacity on the roads that people want to travel on.

> you're just going to have to accept that cars aren't going anywhere.

Cars aren't going anywhere, but they're the wrong solution for a variety of reasons (congestion leading to time loss, pollution (including noise pollution), land use efficiency or lack thereof, etc.) for a very big part of transportation needs.

> A lot of people want to travel comfortably in car

And a lot don't and aren't given that option.

> "mindless pursuit of space efficiency" be damned.

Mindless? There's only so much physical space available in the places where people live and work. American cities are often comprised of massive parking lots taking up valuable space that can be put to much better use, simply because most people are forced to commute by car. Give them another option and many (of course not all) would prefer it, which would also make driving much more pleasant for the remaining drivers.
I wonder if there is a filtering effect here where people who have relatively better soft skills and technical knowledge move into industry, and what we are seeing in academic circles is biased to what the industry declined.

Since I can't find my original source anymore, I cannot defend this statement right now - consider it retracted. There are multiple sources for "majority democrat", but nothing close to 90%.

What I did find, and what I possibly confused it with, was that political spending of the respective government employee unions are overwhelmingly democrat:

"Of course, it’s not just teachers’ unions. In the 2020 election cycle alone, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) dedicated 99.1% of its political spending to Democrats. The American Federation of Government Employees gave 95.6% to Democrats." [0]

You are literally correct, but spending money on a whole new device just for this single feature doesn’t feel sound. Especially when under a budget.

So while you are correct, such investment would be irresponsible (in my case). In other words, responsibility is what’s stopping me.
Indeed, the entirety of Western music theory exists first and foremost in the context of Western common practice period ("classical") music. The further you diverge from that specific context, the more trouble you jave trying to make the abstraction fit the music.
It's fair to call out that if one kid doesn't have a phone and everyone else does, it may be hard on them. Phones are a way to be "in" and in the know, if you don't have one then you may be on the outside looking in.

A few things.

1. Fuck being on the inside. Work with your kid and their self-esteem and their friends to realize that shit-talking and drama online is shallow, painful and makes you a worse person.

2. Work with the parents in your kid's social circle to talk to them about social media impact, and maybe make sure that in-person time after school is happening. Alternatively, "just" get your kid involved in after-school programs that require social activity. Band, choir, sports, hobby clubs.

3. Don't cut off social media/computing entirely. Abstinence from it full-time would be really hard to enforce. Yes, look at putting parental controls. Yes, consider limiting which apps they can have. Put time limits on it, and yeet any unapproved devices.
Shunting away low-paying (usually with low education requirement) jobs doesn’t magically move people up the job totem pole. Those people need to be retrained, and during that training they still need to make a living, preferably above subsistence level.
Would you rather be told you're not going to get a stable job as a researcher when you're 21 and first applying to grad school or at 28-35 when you're finally told you didn't get any interviews for a tenure track job?
Don’t tell HN that, it would make them upset.
The particular issue I take here is "one single human level intelligence", it represents a failure of human thinking about human intelligence and it's biological and communicative limitations.

You can't help but think of AI with our limits around it. AI doesn't have to sleep, so it's already 3x more available than a worker on a daily basis.

Then you have the forward progress of technological growth. It's 200M now, 20M in 5 years, and 2M in 10 years, all while the operating costs drop. Meanwhile your human costs have only gone up in that time.

Then you are likely stuck on the idea of a single conscious train of thought, much like the human mind is limited to. Such limits in AI both seem unlikely and not optimal, lest of course you have a bunch of threads thinking about the same thing without realizing it.

And then you're ignoring the massive amount of brain processing needed to keep you alive that could otherwise be used for logical computation. Instead of a huge network of neurons to make sure you're not getting hurt, that could be data feeds watching financial data. Your limited to 2 eyes attached to your body and a tiny area of focus they provide. Again, why would an AI have such tiny input limits?

If 'attention is all you need' than this AI system will be able to pay far more attention to what you want it to then any human would ever be able to.

> In the last 3 years, about 50k signatures had been uploaded to PyPI by 1069 unique keys. Of those 1069 unique keys, about 30% of them were not discoverable on major public keyservers, making it difficult or impossible to meaningfully verify those signatures. Of the remaining 71%, nearly half of them were unable to be meaningfully verified at the time of the audit (2023-05-19)

Why not include the public key in the package?

99% of the time what I want out of package signing is to know that the new version of the package I'm downloading is from the same people as the old version. I don't actually need to know who those people are...just that they are the same people as before.
Seems like a sad reflection of our society today. More and more it's about shortcuts, easy money, and just buy what you want instead of working for anything. There's little pride in earning or creating something, and it's just used as a status symbol to 1-up. And of course others a ready to take advantage of this by creating systems that promote this pay to win lazy attitude.

Academic research is funded by grants.
IG Farben and a cohort of allied corporations provided critical funding to the Nazi party in the early 1930s, without which it would have had little ability to gain political power, and IG Farben's immediate reward was guaranteed government contracts for fuel, and later profited as it moved in to take over mines and factories behind the advance of the German armies.

> "By the end of 1933, the Reich agreed to buy all of the Leuna factory's output that couldn't be sold on the market, Jeffreys says. That same year, Farben donated more than 4.5 million Reich marks to Nazi Party funds." (Diarmuid Jeffreys, "Hell's Cartel", 2008)"

> Exceptions are ways to crash the program in a controlled manner with the ability for these crashes to be caught midway before the program crashes and handled correctly.

> In rust you can only crash it explicitly using the panic! Macro. No handling.

You can catch Rust panics with `catch_unwind()` if you compiled your program with `-Cpanic=unwind` (default on most platforms). Under the hood it uses stack unwinding, just like C++ and co's exceptions. But Rust doesn't consider this idiomatic error handling, it's only used in a few special situations (test frameworks, web servers where one buggy session shouldn't take down the process...).
Not sure why you are down voted but this is really a really really big issue.

This is why "large scale action" e.g. from school or better regulators are needed and why parents only can act very limited.

Don't force social isolation on your children just because idk. "this game is bad". Even if they social circle is "good" and doesn't start excluding or harassing them because of this (totally can happen, you can't really choose with whom you are in a class) it still is leads to a subtle isolation which might by itself not cause any mental issues, but can amplify existing issues, prevent mental scare from being healed etc. And such issues don't always come from "big bad thing" sometimes small bad things wrongly processed as a child can be enough to cause life long mental issues if the child has never the chance to reprocess/recondition/overcome them.

EDIT: Just to be clear doesn't mean children should have unchecked social media/game/etc. access.

Ok but the last couple of years is littered with crypto projects outright failing, being rugpulled, found out to be scams, taken down by bumbling idiot CEOs...

So looking at the millenia that currencies have existed we can say that it's not impossible that a currency fails. Looking at cryptocurrencies it's extremely possible that any given crypto project fails.

> And who's checking that ID? In what form is the record of it being kept, and where? I would not use a device that had this sort of requirement. There's too much surveillance as it is.

I would do it on a state-by-state level. Your phone verifies your age with, say, the state of California one time, and then it's set and California has no idea what you visit or why.

And if you don't like this due to hacking risk; remember that the State of California literally has your photo, social security number, address, height, weight, gender, and more. Hacking risk increase is minuscule from what it already is. And not just California - any state can look you up if they want; otherwise, how would traffic tickets or arrests for interstate drivers happen?

> The solution to this with children is easy -- don't get them a smartphone.

Or we ban children from possession or purchase of smartphones under a certain age. Which, I would be favor of, but may be too politically unpalatable.

Part of what contributes to this is the "brainwashing" that takes place in PhD programs that discourages applicants from transitioning out of academia into "the industry". Academia has tons of extremely smart, hard-working individuals, most of whom would have excellent white collar careers with half the work and 2-10x the pay.

There are a handful of academics who are truly built for working in academia and wouldn't be as successful in "the industry" but at least half could transition out of academia and clean-up with a normal office job.

At some point you have to weigh the risks. Adults destroying society is ok, but young people watching make up videos is somehow worse?

I think there is a point to restricting social media for adults. They have more to lose and are far, far more dangerous.

Things weren't universally interesting years ago either. There was plenty of corps being late to industries, producing bad products or services that were out of touch and clearly hadn't consulted with real-world users.

We just tend to remember the victors. Have a skim through some old computer magazine archives, or old audio gear magazine archives, you'll soon realize that there was a lot of junk even 40 years ago, let alone plenty of inappropriate uses of tech that never caught on in any meaningful capacity. The industry has always been full of solutions in search of problems.

Some sick, demented part of me loves seeing whacky and weird over-engineering of decades-past. Another part of me loves being humbled by realizing the potential of something that simply never caught on, but is now lost in terms of patent limbo or IP ownership. I've bought a few old bits of tech, loved them and make regular use of them.
The biggest issue with Mac is they manage to break device drivers every 12 months like clockwork. On the other hand, Logic Pro is an absolute steal at the price they charge, and it’s gotten some huge (and free) updates.
If a concept can be expressed as a sequence of tokens, then bam, we're done.

If a concept can't be expressed as a sequence of tokens, then it doesn't really matter, because no language can, since some concepts exist which are not computable, and all languages have the same drawback.

Either way, "English is the linguistic equivalent of Turing complete" is valid, since it is at the top of the hierarchy, and as powerful as any other language (eg everything Ithkuil can express, so can English).
