Cryptocurrency could be used here to both decentralize and incentivize such a system. I think a major hurdle would be the fact torrents have been "free" since their inception. PoS is irrelevant here - it's a mechanism that lives "higher up" to protect the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. Then there's also the social issues and useability issues that plague the space.

My best guess is most bittorrent enthusiasts (and myself) would like to see a more natural solution to the decentralization problem. "Natural" being incentives which arise around sharing / not sharing and similar, vs straight up money incentives.

A reputation system could work but again, Sybil attacks could happen. So some how the network needs to figure out a way to make certain actions more expensive in the large.
> Who is going to find those experts? How do you prevent empire-building and fiefdoms affecting which experts are hired? How will the new people be aligned?

You can hire an “Organizational Dynamics” consultant. Their job is to help create healthy organizational structures.

This doesn’t answer the question of who and how to make that hiring decision, but a good OD consultant will nip empire-building behavior in the bud. The decision becomes “is this person qualified to help with our sort of organization,” rather than, “will this person support my agenda,” which is an easier decision to make.

An OD consultant will also be able to recommend or provide conflict resolution strategies, training, and mediation services. Grayson mentioned that as a possible root cause, and that seems very probable, based on what I know of typical geek interpersonal failure modes.
Better? Which ones?
I have to keeping saying this on HN: moats have only a little to do with technical superiority. For the most part, moats rely on stuff like brand, UX, integrations, compatibility, business arrangements, past familiarity, etc. It's very rare for technical superiority in itself to override all that. Even if Gimp could match PhotoShop technically, it would still miss all the plugins and UX. So OSS often doesn't manage to overtake paid offerings. It depends on special people who are doing the extra effort.

That said, OSS is in way better shape in the image space than in the LLM space. There are actually products and installers based on SD out there, something that won't happen in LLM space for awhile.
That oversimplifies the cost though. Take your typical 200 person company. Maybe 20 of them develop using Jira, 30 more create issues, and then 10 more poke their head in there so they can check on developers and project managers. So of those 60 registered users 40 of them spend just about 20 minutes a month in it. You still have to pay for them though. The problem grows because we need to run similar numbers for every Saas this 200 person company uses. You've got Jira for project management, Zen/FreshDesk for support issues, Mailchimp for spamming customers, CMS, CRM, payroll, etc.

You end up with many many hours of employee time per month spent on licenses for SaaS products that you never own, can't control, and often can't extract your data from if you want to bail.

So yeah, as a middle manager trying to cut costs, any free alternative to a SaaS product sounds good to me. It beats dribbling out licenses piecemeal and living without core functionalities (looking at you monday.com) to stay within the lowest payment tier where I can see that 10 minutes-employee-time per month.

I admit that paints products like Jira in a bad light and ignores all the upsides (no hosting issues, upgrades are automatic, etc.).
My position stays the same - nothing you have said has change my perspective:

1. Airing private conversations in an attempt to make someone look bad isn't the best look especially if you are trying to get other people on your podcast.

2. There are a million reasons not to engage on a podcast - because someone doesn't does not imply any of your viewpoints or mean that they can't have an engaging conversation about it.

3. When I read your comments it looks to me like you wanted to duke it out in a battle about Web3 - someone who doesn't like conflict probably wouldn't want to spend their time doing that.

4. Just saw that Molly responded directly to your claims. As someone who hosts a podcast do your Due Diligence FFS before you spout off.
These arguments for immigration may be correct, but they contain an implicit negative assertion about Americans. People say we need immigrants to do hard and dirty work like picking strawberries that “Americans won’t do.” We need immigrants to do difficult work like being scientists and engineers that “Americans can’t do.” We need immigrants, because “Americans aren’t having children.” What does that say about Americans? Within a couple of generations steeped in American culture, people apparently become unwilling (or much less willing) to work hard, to enter difficult professions that require a lot of study, and to take on the burdens of being parents. Seems to me like what these folks are saying is that American culture is only sustainable insofar is it’s subsidized by foreigners raised outside American culture.
Worth noting that Llama and derivatives most likely can be used for commercial use, despite what the licensing terms say.

Prompt: "#PROMPTENGINEERING Putting it bluntly, is the usage of "quid pro quo" more correct in English or French considering it's latin roots?"

GPT-4 API: Putting it bluntly, the usage of "quid pro quo" is more correct in English, as it is a well-established phrase in the English language despite its Latin roots. In French, the phrase "quid pro quo" is less common and typically replaced by "donnant-donnant" or "un échange de bons procédés." Nevertheless, the origin of the phrase is Latin, and its meaning is understood in both languages.

Chat-GPT-4: The phrase "quid pro quo" is Latin, and it means "something for something." Despite its Latin origins, it's commonly used in English and French, among other languages. However, the usage may vary depending on the language.

In English, it's often used in legal and political contexts to describe a situation where one thing is exchanged for another, especially favors or advantages. This usage aligns well with the original Latin meaning.

In French, the phrase is used but it is much less common than in English and it is not part of the usual vocabulary. In addition, its meaning might be misunderstood or unclear to a native French speaker who has not studied Latin or law, as it's not a commonly used term in daily French language.

In terms of correctness, given that the phrase is Latin, neither English nor French has a superior claim to its use. It’s more about convention and the evolution of language. However, the term is certainly used more frequently and is better understood in English than in French, which suggests it has been more fully adopted into English.
Neon CEO here. Happy to answer questions about the serverless driver and beyond.
It would be great if Elon could be trusted with it. But we already know his agenda with Twitter is to push right-wing, "anti-woke" speech and he has already used the platform to promote and spread disinformation, such as mislabeling NPR as a "state owned" media organization (because the right believes it to be essentially an organ of Democratic Party propaganda) and promoting fake accounts of AOC.

What seems likely to happen is fake images that serve right-wing bias will sneak past the filter, while real images that counter that bias will be marked as fake. That seems to be the level of immature chicanery that Twitter under Elon is currently steeping to.

This paragraph from the article expands on the same topic:

> One informal structure that governs a lot of Rust and a lot of open source in general (and is mentioned in The Tyranny Of Structurelessness) is that of time commitment. The passionate contributor often is willing and able to spend a lot of time on the project. And that time commitment is not always available to others. This is often explicitly stated as a positive virtue: "people who do the work get to decide". But those decisions often affect many other stakeholders, and "the people with the most time" might not represent those stakeholders well, or might lack skills or knowledge for the task at hand. And "putting in more time than others" is also a way -- a fairly unhealthy one -- of dealing with a conflict: rather than addressing it head-on, you just wear the other side out. This can even be employed within a formal structure, if there's wiggle room for "how much input you contribute per unit time". Some people will show up to every city council meeting to push the same agenda. It works, you get your way, and it's not great.

The notion applies to communities like Wikipedia and similar even more than to FOSS projects. Except that in that case there's often additional factors at play, like malicious coordination, "meat puppets", "sock puppets", etc.
There really do not exist any alternatives, self-hosted or not. But more importantly, there may never be, what with the rising tide of AI risks and regulations discourse.

I feel this is a shortsighted reaction when most languages have had something like this happen, repeatedly even. C and C++ have had the exact same issues with utterly grinding down attempted contributors, public sniping between committee members, etc.

I'm not trying to minimize this because it deeply needs to be addressed, but using one language or another is a relative decision, and between Rust and C++ I still think C++ is more dysfunctional, Go doesn't really attempt to be a "community" led project in the first place, Java drama ended up in the Supreme Court, etc.

The problem in the West atm is the division between who is allowed to have rights depending on what "side" you are on.

Are people allowed to worship their god?

The fact that the DEA is apparently the top purchaser of this spyware tech is unsurprising, although their justification is fairly ludicrous:

> "The DEA did not directly comment, but it has been claimed that the agency bought Graphite for use by law enforcement partners in Mexico to fight drug cartels. A DEA spokesperson said only that it uses 'every lawful investigative tool available to pursue the foreign-based cartels and individuals operating around the world responsible for the drug poisoning deaths of 107,735 Americans last year.'"

Meanwhile, courts just shielded the Sackler opiate cartel members from civil liability for their massive US-wide opiate marketing scheme (they were already shielded from criminal prosecution):

I feel this article is not very good. It focuses too much on externalities.

One thing that I often find is that there is too much self doubt and impostor syndrome in the modern generation of kids and I think that is warranted.

A big part of why they feel that way is because they haven't really thought how a computer works, haven't build large enough systems, haven't written enough code to understand why Uncle Bob and Clean Code are bad solutions.

Once they start looking at hard skills instead of managing up or other things at the office, that's when I feel they will think and act like a senior.

There is no way of shortcutting it. You have to pay your dues in terms of understanding why certain code is bad and certain code is good and that only comes with writing largish systems and testing your theories. Also build stuff outside of web dev.

If you feel like a junior or have impostor syndrome, it might well be because you are one.
