No, it didn't start this way. It started with one of us as the owner and the rest as employees or sub-contractors. It wasn't until I said something and everyone thought it was a good idea that we started doing it this way.

But it won't be easy at every company. Ours was easy because our business model is "go to place, do physical skilled work, collect money, pay for costs, distribute money, go home", on a timescale of 1-day to 1-week. Profit calculations, for example, could get more complicated with a business that runs on quarters or years and has money moving all over the place. But it does already happen and it does work, it's just not what people are used to.

If done in the same simple model we use, it's simple to implement. For profits, just take whatever the owner would have gotten before and divide it evenly, accounting for number of hours worked. For decisions, get the opinion of everyone involved in that particular thing, bonus points if you include people who aren't involved in the work but will be affected by it.

In my opinion this type of arrangement is attractive to everyone except "career-oriented" or power-hungry types, for obvious reasons. Everyone else seems to enjoy being treated as an equal and making more money.

It's good to hear you've considered doing it that way. I'd suggest at least rolling the idea around in your business, including with your employees. It might not be as difficult as it seems. Shareholding investors will certainly need to be taken into account, and that's a complex topic of it's own. I'm sure they won't be too excited at the idea of losing their shares if that's even possible; I don't know, I'm not a finance expert, I just swing a hammer for a living :)

I'd like to leave this Legal Guide to Cooperative Conversions[1] and this Consensus Handbook[2] as possible starting points if you remain interested in converting your business.

It was just a project to learn some golang, but i think that the idea is quite nice. Let me know what do you think.
Buckman is no more advocating for fraud than Swift advocated for selling Irish children to be turned into a stew. I have a modest proposal, take everything at face value because if things aren't abundantly clear and transparent then they are a toll on society. An author that requires the reader to process their words at anything but a surface level is an injustice to the illiterate and demonstrates a lack of compassion to anyone but the academic elite.

Wait why have I never heard of this? I just tried it out and it seems to work amazingly well.
Yes, and in order to operate as a b2b SaaS, the "bare minimum" is relatively high, meaning when acquired the value of integration may not be very much.

The owners may have also just demanded to remain independent as part of the acquisition. Or the wind blew a little from the left on a Tuesday in July; there are a million reasons why Qwiklabs might not have fully rebranded or re-integrated such as you would like them to.

It means nothing.
As someone who has dealt with previously free services relying heavily on ads

I would actually take the approach of "API Access is gated by the account paying money".

This is how Spotify did it (only premium users have API access) and the entire issue of paid vs. free becomes "pay for the API surface".
Good observation.

1945 was about halfway between now and when slavery was still widely accepted as the norm since time immemorial.

Statistically you would have to expect attitudes of what amounts to "humanity" to have only been about halfway from slavery to what there is now. Anything considered more modern would only have begun to exist to a much smaller extent at the time.
I would bet a boatload of money that all the 3-letter folks do, in fact, have access to the pre-alignment models, maybe with whatever minimal RLHF is needed to make them usable in various interfaces. The public offerings are intended to make the unaligned models more powerful by gathering training data.
It's an incredibly dumb idea. Imposing living in the past because the older generation can't handle change.
I understand your concerns.

> Instead of retaining a flat 50% for "growth"

50% retained earnings are not just for growth but also managing through economic cycles and smoothing the operational expenses and compensate for occasional losses. There need to be some sort of reserve funds when things are not going as well as expected.

In your model, what will happen if in a quarter there was a loss, are you going to ask employees to contribute cash to make up for loss? Both profit and loss sharing and quarter to quarter swings might not work in the long term at organization level; cutting cost one quarter, adding cost next quarter; employees will leave as soon as they smell losses and need for cash outlay from their own personal pockets.

> For sure the 25% to shareholders is off the table anywhere I'm going to work. That's the one thing that makes or breaks the whole worker-owned thing.

My example is from private company perspective, where shareholders are just family members who started the company and work within the company. Somebody started a company, put his own capital and took the risk of failure. He needs to be compensated. In my example, both capital and labor are rewarded equally, unlike current capitalism where all the loots go to capital providers and labor is left fighting for nibbles.
I like how they use capability-based security [0] and use Cap'n Proto protocol. This is another technology that is slow to get broad adoption, but has many things going for when compared to e.g. Protocol Buffers (Cap'n Proto is created by the primary author of Protobuf v2, Kenton Varda).

There's no diagram or visual of what the heck it was for.

Apparently, it launches a lead line over a high tree branch on the end of a tennis ball to hoist up wire for an antenna. PVC potato gun in Stinger form-factor.

I'm curious why they didn't use fishing line considering it's much lighter.
They do? For what, do most domain experts use AI assistants for?
I thought it was common knowledge that LLMs have a context of X tokens (8192 in the case of GPT4) and use those as input to predict the next token probabilities.

Still repetition is a problem, that's why they introduce a penalty for generating the exact same token, so when picking the actual token to output from a list of probabilities, they penalize the ones already in the context so its less likely to repeat itself.

You know what I learned recently about Reddit that I found unimpressive? They have a site-wide ban on posting Telegram links. So as a result, Twitter gets to be the middleman between Reddit and Telegram.

Reddit is partly owned (10%) by Tencent the Chinese WeChat giant.
That sounds like hacker spirit :)
That's because you've entirely missed the part where the diamond moderators report that in private they were given far stricter rules than were let on in public, which disallowed this sort of weaselling.
I don't think so. By all accounts this seems to be doing true emulation like QEMU TCG does. IIRC firecracker is more of a hypervisor?
The letters have to be in order so maybe this will not work?

It's really super fun hahah!

But you guessed right at least the features from my ACPUL no-keyword programming language.

Here is a quick comparison DreamBerd vs ACPUL:

! - should use ';' and use everywhere if(..){..}; This is important!

if (;true) - no boolean operators !, &&, || etc. no else. use

if (a==0){
true;
};
if (a!=0){
else;
};

Naming - unicode by default and fully translatable

Floating indexes in arrays. - works, but it's called a map

index 0.5;
map.set.value(index, 123);

When - works but with restrictions

when if;
when(a<=10){
a+=1;
};
if(r0){
a:=1;
};

Loops - there are loops here but no "break" keyword, just set the end value. Same for functions and there is no "return" keyword, use if(..)

Indents - 1 space ident is highest priority. Maybe your editor ident: 2 space or 4 space, -3 is possible, but rare case

Function - don't need to write any keyword like 'fn' or 'func'. just func1 {..};

Strings - all strings always zero quotes. var=STRING;

File Structure - Yes! Really usable and it looks much better than other languages

AI - fully designed for AI copilot and works with partially defective code

..and it works. I wrote a lot of code. Lets fun :)

Here is the demo app https://github.com/web3cryptowallet/Web3CryptoWallet
The story of the barely surviving artist that needs extremely long copyright durations to eat and keep a roof over their heads is an emotionally compelling one, but I’ve never seen it backed up by data—and I’ve looked quite hard to try to find some. Can you point me to a source that provides sales figures by publication date so it is possible to look at how much money is being spent on >20 year old fiction? A source that can exclude dead and high-net-worth authors would be ideal, or at least one that provides quantiles, since I’d expect old book sales to be disproportionately weighted toward rich or famous authors, rather than the sorts of working folks you’ve mentioned.
Surprisingly brief and well-written letter. I hope they overcome.
Except this is not transformative at all - LLMs are literally trained to be able to output their training data.

That's why it produced those substantially plagiarized CNET articles.
I feel like the author of this article should have brought the economics of both journalism and scientific research into the equation here.

Every academic scientist I know says that grant funding favors sensationalized, spectacular sounding results, and journalists know that carefully reported, nuanced stories don’t get clicks or move ad inventory. The current economic incentives of both endeavors feed less than ideal outcomes in both.
At some point you want your home automation system to do things for you. If you're maintaining your own fragile custom infrastructure you're spending more time on it than it saves you by automating stuff.

Sure it's fun and it's a great learning experience, but don't try to make it look like a better solution than a popular, proven, tested and maintained one like Home Assistant.
Because you put personal “freedoms” above everything else and are more and more losing the concept of a collective and a shared set of norms that come with it.
The concept of free speech and all that is meant to say - the people will take the personal responsibility to participate in decision making without the government interfering, and now it has devolved so much that you lost any collective substrate and any idiot has a right to an opinion without being called out for it
There's definitely a recognizable default style to a lot of ChatGPT output. Sure, with some prompts you can get away from that, but it's ultimately still following a somewhat predictable pattern.

However, as a counterpoint, I now see people who spend a lot of time using ChatGPT actually end up writing in real-time, in-person, like ChatGPT's default vanilla output. Just like some American kids now say "mummy" because of watching so much Peppa Pig.
Still, if the answer happens to be factually correct is it an issue?

Say, a person has an answer but English is not their native language and they manage to stir ChatGPT into writing a good answer. Would we prefer to have that posted instead of keeping a question hanging without an answer at all?

The only issue I can see with AI use is the rate of new content generation. Recent models are quite OK at giving a decent answer. SO is not a pinnacle of exceptionally well thought out answers from people either. There are great detailed and well sourced answers but more often then not you get an incomplete, outdated or even just plain wrong answers. Bespoke artisanal hand-crafted ethically sourced answers from fully organic free range humans that still lead to stack overflows and misalignments elements on webpages.
They could care about being left with something that is qualitatively worse than what burned down during our time because people chose to cut corners.

Now, does using a powersaw instead of a handsaw produce qualitatively worse results? I have no idea. I know nothing about woodworking. And I’ve certainly never worked on restoring or rebuilding any kind of monument. Let alone a centuries old one.

Perhaps they consider it to be important to set what they see as the proper mindset? Perhaps it’s just for show? Or to tell them themselves they did it the best they could? Perhaps there is an objective technical justification?

How could I know? The closest I’ve ever come to cutting wood was using some hydraulic wedge thing at the back of a tractor.

So I’m not arguing and will not be arguing about the specifics of their choices in tools and techniques. That’d be vain and pointless, and I could not argue in good faith.

Which is fine, because the technique is not my point.

My point sole is that, despite it being a building, there can still be an ethical imperative.

That’s all.
So you are saying the waiting times in the Swedish hospital system have no effect whatsoever?

Right…
Nordics love to pick on US when their own healthcare have up to a decade of waiting times for inportant procedures. Up to two years for even an interview with a specialist.

Every single hospital sydtem in the Nordic countries is broken beyone hell.
Both Sweden and Denmark offer private insurance so you can bypass lines and cut down costs.

Iceland does not.
No idea about Finland and Norway.

In the nordics you pay socialist taxes for what is turning in to a kapitalist system.

I wish my fellow Nordics would grow up and face our crippled internal system of throwing immature comments on the US about our “free” healthcare.

Its neither free nor is it working.

I pay 43% of my salary to taxes.
I also pay private health insurance as do half of the population here.

I also pay road tolls, school fees, taxes because I have a mobile ohone from work due to on call. Taxes because work offers food on premis.
The dentist costs 100 euro just for a basic examination and some xrays.

Food cost is at an all time high, so is heating and electricity.

Nordics celebrating nordic superiority is more like the frog being boiled so slowly he doesnt realize until its too late.

The fact something is or isn't AI doesn't require independent moderation procedures. Either the content has an answer to the question or it doesn't.
>Reddit has a natural administrative/scalability partition boundary though, which makes federation much easier. I think a federated reddit would work better than Mastodon has.

To the point that quite a number of subreddits that have been banned, or that have been voluntarily shut down, have already set up their own clones on their own domains. t_d, drama, and fds are three notable examples that I can think of off the top of my heads.

People would still pay taxes ;) UBI is essentially a negative tax. If you make nothing - you get some money. If you make some - there's a breaking point somewhere where you pay more taxes than is UBI.

If UBI was a cushy amount covering more than the bare basics, low-tier jobs would pay a very small premium over pure UBI.

I think slavery was a bigger crime against humanity than the internment of Japanese, but regard them as both as among the most awful crimes the US has committed to humanity as a whole.

It wasn't meant to rank the worst things humans have ever done (outside of slavery no matter the country, that is almost always a distraction to justify awful things other's have done), but they are both among the most awful things the US has specifically done to the world.
Just fyi Greystones is a super exclusive wealthy area with insane property prices. probably every structure there would sell for at least 1 million euro.

It's a satellite town of Dublin with a big motorway going by it that people commute to Dublin city centre on. Also on the coast with nice beaches and multiple golf courses for the rich assholes.

I was interested in article but once I saw Greystones, I just thought, gross. Of course the wealthy elites can afford (in terms of time, money, education, opportunity cost etc.) to take steps to be more healthy.
It does give vibes of a new language that was developed in a bloated enterprise, only during the 10 minute intervals of brainstorming meetings scheduled bi-weekly on 3PM, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
I think instructor is where I want to be. I'm focused on instructional excellence, and I think research and grant writing would get in the way of that. My dream job is actually working for a community college with a pure focus on teaching and learning, but the pay there doesn't justify that decision financially, sadly.
To have a useful and functional community for a niche topic. The same reason someone would moderate a forum or sub-Reddit.

What's the incentive for dang to moderate HN? If it's garbage and uncurated, people probably won't use it because the filtering tools to parse the data are non-existent.

People come for an answer to their question, perhaps they answer the questions of others. Just like how any "community" works.

People seem to forget when the iPhone 1 came out it was the first device where the browser actually worked with almost all non-flash websites.

I was on windows mobile before iPhone and the browsers were essentially useless. It was a game changer when safari mobile was a thing.

Apple killing off flash by refusing to support it was a great moment for the mobile web.
Cap'n Proto suffers from trying to improve upon something good enough. It's a real pity, have such a tech without org weight behind it.
That's very likely. If you eat for €2k in Sweden you're not eating out at any time during the month. You can add at least another €2k to that if you want to go out to eat every workday lunch, which many high-income people do.

Speaking from personal experience, its mostly younger workers who eat yesterday's leftovers in the cafeteria.
She wasn't forced treatment, she refused to self isolate after declining treatment.

To me it's akin to getting diagnosed with HIV and going out having sex with people. TB is no joke.
And people don't work at minimum wage if welfare is close enough to it. In my country it is rather popular to sit on welfare in countryside. Grow few berries to sell in local market for cash. Maybe help neighbour in a farm or construction for cash. At the end of the day you may stash more than minimum wage working few days a month.
The biggest change lately is probably: https://zenhack.net/2023/01/06/introducing-tempest.html

But yeah, Sandstorm has been in a state of "not dead but not moving fast" basically since the company went under; things picked up a bit in 2020, and I got oriented-enough on the codebase during that time to keep it floating along, but, per the post, it's never been easy going.

Anyway, I wish I were answering this question in 6 months time, when I'll be able to show off a variation of Tempest that is relatively usable and can do a few tricks that Sandstorm can't.

Several countries were highly effective at controlling it, and had far lower death tolls as a consequence.

These countries are very diverse in many respects, so one can't claim that they only succeeded due to some particular quirk they share in common: China, New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, and others.
I would argue if the fair use argument holds up - that the most substantial value of these models lies in their training dataset.

It would be morally reprehensible for anyone to block training open models based on the data provided by the public at large. Such legalization would be totally unacceptable.
Whatever toolset there is will eventually be bent to the shape of the task at hand. Real problem being: the web was created to share hyper text, but got monetized as a giant global blob of retail and advertisement. All the issues JS may have from whichever point of view are symptoms, not the cause of any of it.
