If you can get done twice as much because you have a robot assistant, then, your basically producing twice the amount of goods or services. So, people can consume more. To be able to produce or consume more the abstractly growth GDP.

I guess an important assumption here is that people get payed according to productivity. Otherwise this would go into the profit of the company. But still the increase in wealth would end up somewhere.

I have. I am disappointingly crippled by dyslexia. It takes a tremendous amount of energy for me to work with numbers and formulae which is one of the reasons I was drawn to programming. Once I realized I could abstract away the numbers and only really needed to get the calculation right once before putting it into a function, it was like jet fuel.

I've heard those reasons as well. The reason I don't believe them is that in the last couple of decades, every place I've worked has done all collaboration and communication online despite everyone being in the same office. So those purported benefits were nonexistent to begin with.

So, at least in my mind, those explanations explain nothing.

What does it mean / what will happen as a result? The twitter thread says more precipitation -- anything more specific than that? Big storms? No storms?
That’s pretty much SOP (there are videos on YouTube), however it still wastes time, and damages lines, and if the car parks on a line you have to waste time shifting the car itself.
The code was both mature and sensible _within the limits of the environment and API available to it_.

The VSCode team took it out of that environment completely, which opened up a huge number of optimization possibilities.
This is gatekeeping. People who develop software are developers. Many (probably most) of them have done so for years without 114 pages worth of in depth knowledge of how memory works. So by definition they don't need to know it to do their jobs successfully.
> Just observe the colorful language from Bezos’ 2016 letter to shareholders: “Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1.” Is it just me, or is this just another way of saying: work hard or you will die.

The reason this author is confused/upset by the Bezos quote is because they are talking about the same sport but a different class.

If an olympic champion told you about their training and diet regiment, you'd say "this sounds horrible" but what you'd mean is "it's not for me, because I am not training for the olympics." On the flip-side if your goal was to be an olympic champ too, your reaction would be "this is what it takes, good to know."

Bezos wasn't setting himself up for an easy 9-5 and he wasn't building a me-too company. He was building Amazon into.. well.. what it is, an absolute champion across multiple industries. And perhaps doing that requires what he describes.

If you're not looking to build an Amazon and you're not looking to be a part of the culture that can do it, then of course "this sounds horrible." And that's OK, just realize you're saying that because "it's not for me, because I don't care about that." It could very well be for other people - and those people might have greater wealth and work engagement than you do as a result. And that's OK too.

These studies aren't done wholistically and only done from a business perspective. That's why these studies are garbage they fail to account for the feedback effect.

Employers pay money to workers so that workers in turn can buy products from employers.

These studies only account for how much money Employers save when they get rid of workers and pay less money to workers.

Well when you get rid of workers or pay them less there's less money going around for workers to buy things from employers. These studies fail to account for this feedback.

It's the tragedy of the commons. If one company utilizes generative AI to reduce labor costs that company benefits. If all companies collectively do this, then everyone loses. It's the aggregate behavior of all companies acting in their own interest that ultimately causes them all to act against their own interests.
When blaming alcohol i always think of the middle east with low alcohol intake has highest rates of domestic violence.

Which would suggest at the minimum that culture is a bigger factor.

And also I'm curious to see if it evens out after a year.

It could be that men who are more violent by nature tend to drink more. And that in societies where it's not accepted alcohol breaks the social barrier whereas middle eastern countries it's more accepted so alcohol is not needed.
They come up with a hypothesis like "Every hour of labor shaved off a job by AI gets converted to an hour at the highest value measure". Then they produce very complicated spreadsheets that show how many hours will be saved and multiply this by a very big per unit number. Then they report on the results with very little scrutiny of the methodology. The huge dollar $ign$ blind executive thought leaders, who will rush to adopt - at least for the next 6-9 months.

Sound can travel MUCH further and fast underwater, so in the event of an implosion, it might create enough of a spike in hydrophones that is statistically significant. Also the experts might be able to analyze the signal's signature to confirm (or bet) it's an implosion.

Crossmatch that with the time of loss of communication and it's safe to assume that it's it.

> On the flip-side, you could just have 1 single B2B client paying $10k per month for a service and make 10x the amount, with lower running costs and no churn.

Why does he assume there would be no churn? The churn would be binary and catastrophic if it happens.

Separately, I've found some businesses are hesitant to do businesses with a small/solo startup because of the risk it entails. Some of them wanted me to put our code in escrow in case something happened to me personally. Some are just hesitant to business with a smallish startup, whom they figure might not exist next year. B2C customers don't seem to care about this as much.
I'll certainly check out some of the channels here but my experience with Indian-originating tutorials on YouTube is that they are almost uniformly terrible. There are a few good ones but so rare that if I see an Indian name I'll tend to skip over it.

My interests when I look tend to be about computing and mathematics. They may be of higher quality on other subjects.
I think we can't assume the reduction in consumption. After all productivity increase is not an end itelf but a means to sell more or earn more producing stuff cheaper/faster. I expect that with increased productivity consumption will increase because people will want more and can afford more. As a result they will buy more, also due to lowering quality/durability. Low prices and efficient production lead to dispensable everything: clothes, devicesc car etc.

Professional engineers are incentivized to make mistakes because sprinting is more important than quality, and quality is not measured by the management. They care about check boxes of features.

I downloaded the SDK and gave it a try. It was pretty seamless to get the sim booted up. However I did have trouble getting any of my hobby apps to build for the native SDK. A lot of libraries will need to add target conditionals to build natively. I finally got one of my most simple apps running, and SwiftUI does translate pretty well into it, but there’s still a bit of visual jank that I guess I could probably learn how to fix. The simulator also does seem kind of slow and unresponsive; I wonder if that’s at all representative of the final OS.
That functionality looks pretty nice, anyone knows of an extension to do that in vim/nvim ?

Maybe pedantic, but Matrix is a protocol that predates Discord by 6 months. Maybe certain Matrix clients are a copycat of Discord, but the protocol itself doesn't necessitate that.
Or succumbing to paranoia that others might murder you to survive themselves.
Finishing a project is one hell of an optimization, I suppose!
All they have to do is build an index though right? Like if they wanted to, they could build a web version that looks like Reddit and is google friendly. I’m sure a lot of discord servers would love that as a way to bring in new members. Others would prefer to stay private. I feel like it’s in the pipeline, I wouldn’t write off everything in discord as lost forever. Everything is there, just not indexed/discoverable yet.
The solution is to give people something else to do. The article makes Alice Springs seem like a remote city populated mostly by Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people tend to get the short end of the stick in Australia, and remote places are hard to deliver social services to. Alcohol is easy to turn to in the face of inequality, unemployment, little access to education or healthcare, etc.

Addressing all of these issues will take longer to implement and be less politically palatable to the majority voter than something that looks more like a punishment.
I grew up in a dry county in Texas. Want to see a ton of Southern Baptists who claim they never drink but actually binge drink once a week until they're blackout drunk? Go visit a dry county in Texas. Way, way more DUIs than surrounding areas.
Also curious. I drink, but pretty sparingly (a beer or two per month typically) and wonder where the threshold is, if there's a threshold at all (meaning any amount has these effects).
I wonder if it learned that if someone says something dumb, they'll probably keep saying more dumb things. It's trained to predict what comes next, not what is correct. So what comes next after "the sky is yellow"? "The sky is purple", of course!

Interesting framing, I appreciate your perspectives on knowledge in chat platforms. I've been looking at AI-powered searches over internal chats (such as Slack) myself recently. However, I do have to wonder a few things.

Did you do much research on competitors when coming up with 'scores' for them against your framework? You define

> Contextual Clarity: Each conversation should have a defined title and summary for immediate understanding.

And then for both Slack and Discord you give:

> Contextual Clarity | 0 | Bad. Must read each message to understand if it's relevant.

Despite the fact that Discord's threads are literally given defined titles (and indeed there's a whole forum style channel approach that is literally thread-first as Struct claims to be). I'd also argue that Slack threads are focused around one initial message which gives a fair amount of context to it, they aren't on their own.

Similarly you define:

> Isolation: Enable clear separation of concurrent conversations to maintain focus and avoid confusion.

Giving both products a 0 again:

> Isolation | 0 | Bad. Channel level isolation is too broad.

Even though both products have threads (not just channels) which are heavily used, and as mentioned Discord has given an entirely new channel type "Forum Channels"

Now, I know you come back to some of those points later on in the post (after giving a score that, in my opinion, is very misleading).

> Lately, Slack and Discord, have both added threads to allow some level of isolation. But, to achieve that, they had to break away from what made them special -- the liveness of conversations.

I mean, Slack has had threads for years and years, and Discord's aren't that new either. You then say that these break away from liveness of conversations and reduces them to numbers, and yet that seems to be what Struct does for every single conversation?

I appreciate this framework is very loose and you're trying to make a point to sell your product and way of thinking, but I find it difficult to trust you when you pose analyses such as these.

---------

However, despite all of the above, the thing I am most concerned about is your pricing. You're trying to sell it as "innovative" when you are literally charging $0.13 per thread, per month. The entire point of realtime chat-based applications like Slack and Discord is to facilitate fast moving, frequent conversation, rather than the slow responses of forums and emails. If Slack was constrained to being thread-first, you'd likely see tens to hundreds of threads a day for a tiny company, let alone a giant one.

I'd love to see if you're willing to post some estimates as to how much you expect your early customers' monthly bills to end up as. This feels extortionately expensive. (And just in case you think I missed it, I did read about "intelligently" forgetting threads but that feels so hand-wavy I don't even know how to address it, and part of having the history of something like Slack is that you can realise later on that you need information you previously said, even if you didn't think it important at the time).
And I can't understand how you keep trying to say that this doesn't involve morals. FTFA, only 38% of these "centers" do not provide any sort of abortion services at all. Fine. Throw them out. But what about the other 60%? They apparently do perform abortions. Do they just get a pass at that point?

What if they do so only in the cases of "the life of the mother," and try to talk people out of it in every other circumstance? Do they still qualify to win auctions on those keywords? The article itself makes it very clear that this whole decision tree is problematic and requires human pruning. Once you start down this road of vetting whether a clinic is offering abortions or not, there's going to be a bunch of grey-area cases that need to be decided, and those decisions are implicitly moral in the general case.

The nature of the search question itself is moral to start out with. Should "abortions near me" return results including "crisis centers" -- if it's really a "health care" or "pro-choice" question -- or is that search really code for "where can I get a DNC for the least money and hassle?" There are morals involved in every part of this topic.
The idea is rounding the result of operations with JS float numbers, float 0.1025 * 14 should give 1.435 but gives 1.4349999999999998 and when I try to round to 2 decimal places it will give 1.43 instead of 1.44
> That's because humans don't say things without understanding them.

Oh? I say things only when I don't understand them. Once I understand something, talking about it further seems rather pointless and certainly boring.
> In what world would it be needed to prove the value proposition of "users can see which open brackets are associated with which close brackets"?

One where there is finite time and resources and you have to pick and choose what you tackle. I could easily see this being ignored knowing that VSCode is so extensible and the community could easily pick up the missed non-core functionality until there was time to do it right.

That's the hardest part about quitting: the emotional come down several days after you stop drinking. It's not even really a physiological addiction issue - that would be the night sweats - because almost any psychoactive drug can substitute for alcohol during this period, but a purely psychological one driven by emotional dysregulation. Since alcohol is the cheapest and most accessible, it just tends to be the go-to self medication.

Second hardest part is that triggers are literally everywhere, especially if you don't want to hermit away for the process.
I fear if that happened to me the next stop would be to a hardware store for a sledgehammer.
Elon Musk Silences Tesla Critics by Deactivating Twitter Accts,Calling Employers
From article: "Greenspan, founder of PlainSite, found his online presence abruptly disrupted on June 13. The suspension of his account, which had more than 24,000 followers, raises questions about freedom of speech and online censorship. Ironically, Twitter claims defending and respecting the user's voice is one of its core values.

Greenspan gained a reputation for meticulously monitoring Twitter for any criticism directed toward Tesla and Musk. His vigilance in tracking and documenting litigation involving various companies, including Tesla, Twitter, General Motors Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc., made him a prominent figure in the world of online scrutiny. Over the years, Greenspan and Musk have found themselves entangled in legal disputes, further fueling the intensity of their interactions.

PlainSite served as a valuable resource for Twitter users, providing free access to state and federal court filings, public records and insightful analytics features for paying subscribers.

Back in 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk actively monitored Twitter for tweets containing the hashtag $TSLA, often used by Tesla short-sellers. Musk would reach out to executives at companies to investigate employees who were potentially publishing negative tweets about his electric vehicle company.

During that time, Musk reportedly emailed former Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess in July 2018, questioning whether one of Diess's employees was using Twitter to criticize Tesla anonymously. Business Insider later reported that Volkswagen determined the tweets were posted by the employee's brother.

Musk also allegedly texted Lawrence Fossi's employer. According to the WSJ, on July 23, 2018, Musk sent a text to the top executive at Fossi's company, asking the boss whether he knew his employee, known on Twitter as Montana Skeptic, "was obsessively trashing Tesla via a pseudonym," as disclosed in the report.

Following the incident, Fossi voluntarily deactivated his Twitter account and ceased writing for Seeking Alpha. Expressing his surprise at the extent to which Musk would go to quash criticism, Fossi commented, "I'm a nobody and he calls my employer?"

Following Musk's contact, Fossi ceased writing under the Montana Skeptic alias. He posted a farewell message on Seeking Alpha explaining that Musk threatened to sue him if he continued to write. He also stated, 'Neither Mr. Musk nor Tesla has ever attempted, at any time, to contact me. Instead, Mr. Musk determined to go directly to my employer.'"

IANAP, but those +/+/+/+ are the signs in the distance function of your universe. Specifically ++++ is an Euclidean spacetime where the distance of any point in spacetime is the sum of the squares of the distances in each dimension (including time). Our universe is not Euclidean but Minkowski spacetime where the opposite sign is used for the time-like dimension (which gives origin to special relativity).

Egan explores universes with two timelike dimensions (++--) and all spacelike dimensions (++++).

You'd think - but past passengers have said that when they dove they lost contact as well.

Mutiple trip passengers said they lost contact every time.

So multiple anecdotes of loss of contact with the same vehicle without an implosion. The jankiness of this operation continues to be discovered bit by bit.
