I provided background information and toeholds for further research to underline the fact that this is not a topic that warrants armchair theorizing. Instead, this is a subject that has undergone extended scrutiny over the last 100 years or so, in academia, governing bodies, executive branches, and courts at the local, state, and federal levels.

Your perspective has been considered and is present in the literature alongside situations when it may or may not be relevant.

> let's say we live in some utopian world where there is no racial bias but for some random reasons different groups of people will break different laws at different rates but overall on average outcomes of the law are the same

This scenario has zero relationship to anything in the article, at any level. I'm not sure why you introduced it here.
Yes, ignore the fact that many of these people have been talking about this risk since long before they had the companies! Since sometimes companies lobby for regulation to create barriers to entry and carveouts, any public statements about AI risk must simply be lies to hobble competition!
If you want to see the callbacks, an alternative middle ground is promises, e.g. code that looks like doSomething().then(() => doSomethingElse()).then(() => doLastTask());

I currently work on a project that involves Java code with a promise library, and Unreal Engine C++ code which does not and uses callbacks (and do async JS stuff in my personal projects), and both have to do asynchronous logic. The Unreal code is just so much harder to deal with.

Specific problems the Unreal code has:

- There's no "high level" part of the code that you can look at to see what the logic flow is.

- Many functions are side-effecty, triggering the next part of the sequential logic without it being clear that that's what they're doing. Like the handleFetchAccount() callback kicks off another httpRequest for the next step, but you wouldn't know that it does that just from the name.

I'd admit some of these problems might be mitigatable in a better written codebase though.
The NReals more comfortable, portable and rather less embarrassing than a full-blown headset like the Quest or Vision Pro as well, I imagine.
Or as I found out:

Don’t start something that requires physical labor - even if it’s as low intensity as say 3D modeling - if you don’t have a temp stand in available.

If you get hurt, even a little, everything stops completely and you lose repeat business immediately
We did auto-increment integers with multiple servers like 20 years ago: The caveat is that you have to know how many servers are in the set in advance. Each server increments by the population size, and their starting number is their position within the pool.

Not hyper scale, but good enough for failover or a 3-5 node setup.
I'll buy this when I hear a straight man talk about the guys he's dated. A thing that I have still never once observed.
Apparently a German court ruled that embedding fonts from Google Fonts is not "fair" to the user. You either have to ignore parts of the GDPR or you accept to not be able to do many useful things.
The iOS and Android app stores likely hold the most examples of high scale one person businesses. Someone already mentioned Apollo. I'd add https://overcast.fm and https://david-smith.org (maker of many apps, including the wildly successful widgetsmith). There are plenty of other really successful apps that are just one person operations.
Wasn't the iPhone 4 wildly successful though? It's when I got my first smartphone, so maybe my memory is biased.
But the same can be said about waterfall, every buzzword process have one success story and that one story will then be used to invalidate every failure, which is not really an useful way to look at it.

The problem is that by now more people have failed at agile then succeeded and instead of going back and modifying or challenging the universality of agile they way it happened with waterfall, people keep doubling down on the universality of "The Agile Manifesto" by discounting any failure as "no true agile".
Most inside-out headsets like the Quest and PSVR already do this. It hardly has anything to do with system power, and is more about resolving contradictory sensor readings.

In the WWDC unity-metal demonstration they definitely seemed to have gaze tracking. Have you checked looked through the sdk and confirmed that there is no public way to do this?
> But people watch 720p content all the time!

1) People don't tend to watch 720p content on large FOV displays.

For example, 720p on my phone is fine, because it takes up less FOV than a theater.

2) Content can be upscaled, picels cannot.
What bothers me is that consumers don't care either.

Talk to any given yuppie and they'll shit all over amazon; from it's dark patterns, to Chinese counterfeit goods, to useless gamed rating system, to expensive membership with worsening benefits, to mountains cheap low quality products, to workers rights abuses.

But walk by their doorstep on any given day and there are 4 prime boxes sitting there.

Seriously guys, give that shit up. I'm two years clean and has had no impact on my life.
The purpose of being an entrepreneur is creating a profit generating asset.

How efficiently that profit is created is up to the individual entrepreneurs.

With 10x multiples being paid for startups like this, it couldn’t be further from being an employee. Those who are not profitable are more in a position of owning a job they can’t quit because they’re so invested in it they can’t breathe or grow because the financial equation wasn’t a high enough priority.
Discord gives an opportunity to self-host. It’s a little bit frustrating to do that, but also turn your own hardware into a walled garden.
The argument has been made before. It didn't turn out all that well, not least because methanol is neurotoxic.
reddit was so bad and so politically onesided that people couldnt talk anymore, it did not evolve, so a lot of people migrated

IMHO people use discord as a reddit alternative, NOT as a chat platform. Everywhere i go i see asynchronous communication.

It's terrible though, a horrible way to organize text and hidden away from search engines too. the bots and other gimmicks are pure noise. text works though and notifications help
The core point that forum search is bad and pulls down their user experience stands, however.

Don't get me wrong, my preference definitely leans towards forums… I grew up on them after all. They have a lot of the type of rough edges that people aren't very forgiving of these days, though.
No need to get personal.

I’m just saying that Epic is using a legal strategy to attack markets with vertically integrated hardware and software distribution (phones, consoles). The owners of these platforms are not thrilled, and we should expect UE to be a casualty.

>> fringe groups want to deprive them of it

I’d hardly call extremist right-wing Christians a ‘fringe group’, as much as I think most people wish they were...

‘Terrorist group’? Sure. Spot on. ‘Fringe’? Sadly not at all.

Look at the ongoing trans genocide as another example as to how big and how powerful these truly hate-filled people are.

EDIT: saw a disgusting uneducated dead comment below here saying it’s offensive to call the very real trans genocide a ‘genocide’ to others because I guess they’ve either done no research or are more likely just transphobic.

It’s sad to see even in usually amazing communities like this; that the denial of the trans genocide continues.

We can’t begin to fix a problem, before we acknowledge the problem exists, and this isn’t a deniable or debatable issue - it’s happening. Let’s not be ignorant hateful cretins by denying it. Please.
The way to view it is "unless there is syntactic sharing, it is a for loop, same as before". The compiler uses a syntactic test (with little knowledge of control flow or value use) to exclude loops from the change. This excludes most loops.

After the change, escape analysis figures out if the changed iteration variable actually needs heap allocation; in an internal sample of code that was actually buggy (i.e., biased, guaranteed to have at least one loop like this) for 5/6 of the loops escape analysis decided that heap allocation wasn't needed.

The reason this optimization isn't part of the language change proposal is that escape analysis is "behind the curtain"; ignoring performance, a program should behave the same with or without it, and it is removing heap allocations all over the place already. Escape analysis is also extremely difficult to explain exactly, so you would not want it in the spec, and "make escape analysis better" (that is, change it) is one of the prominent items in the bag of things to do for Go.
Here's a shocking concept: language has context.

All of Apple’s product launches get criticism leveled at them, and if they are successful, people forgot about the criticism. If the product is unsuccessful (Mac cube), people forget about the product.
There's too little info to go on in the article. If it is true, as they might possibly seem to imply, that they triggered more audits but didn't find cheating at an elevated rate over other subsets, then the first step to do would be to look at what assumptions were made about how EITC correlates with cheating or ucaught errors that'd justify an audit, and whether there's data to support those assumptions.
Though in the end you're the one clicking busses and bikes and bridges and busses again and when you're through that charade, everything is gone anyway because the bots were faster/better at that..
I find the article a bit strange. It seems to assume that an entrepreneur starts with the goal of having a 1-person business but has no other ideas whatsoever. That's not ideal.

I have a 1-person business myself, and it seems to me that it starts with an idea and/or personal skills, the two of which are inherently related. There are things that I know, and things that I'm good at. The author advises you to target businesses, not consumers, and perhaps that's good advice in the abstract, for a generic person, but for me personally it feels like bad advice. B2B is not my area, not in my past experience, not what I know. The author says "The opportunities are endless", but that's a curse as well as a blessing. How are you, as a single person, going to make an impact, distinguish yourself from other businesses? You have to rely on your personal strengths, whatever those happen to be, even if they go against the author's generic advice.

My own advice would be this: don't try to start a 1-person business unless you need to. ;-) It's extremely difficult.
Discord is a group chatting app for me. I barely use it as a community.
1) I don't think anyone was ready to give teachers a raise/bonus—I expect they'd especially have been concerned that teachers might get used to being paid almost as much as they'd be worth in private industry, and resist letting wages fall again after the crisis was over. No idea where the money would have come from. Around here, at least, no way voters would have gone for that.

2) I think the amount necessary would have been pretty high. 20+% raises. It doesn't take a lot of teachers lost in an environment in which replacements and even substitutes are hard to come by, before your in-person teaching falls apart due to insufficient staffing (the first year back, here, was about as bad as remote—too many sick teachers, not enough subs, lots of days in which no teaching happened at all for many of the kids, kids missing many days per month, et c, it was basically like they only got half a year of school) so you need to keep nearly all of them if you want this scheme to be at all valuable. If you're one district "defecting" and paying higher wages, sure, that might work out for you, using a smaller raise to attract teachers from neighboring districts (however, see above re: teachers maybe not wanting to see their paychecks shrink again later) but it wouldn't work as an across-the-board solution where every district's doing it. It'd have been way too much money.
Definitely a preference

Finding a niche problem in B2B is effective if you have the B2B experience.

Technical folks who have consulted are especially in a good spot for this.
why would wires make earbuds socially acceptable?
There is a large spectrum of possibility between those two extremes.

While I agree that blindly expecting history to repeat is problematic, it’s worth considering that this seems to be Apple’s strong suit, and while there are plenty of questions about how the market will react to this product, the early demos seem to confirm that Apple has indeed accomplished something that the other headsets have not. I think this is why some people are so bullish about this tech - and not for no reason.

> It's too 'bluetooth earpiece', and doesn't match the prestige image that is particularly strong in people that favor Apple products

Apple took something that was decidedly uncool (Bluetooth earpieces) and turned it into a status symbol (AirPods) despite these earpieces looking pretty goofy when they first landed.

And again, I think the optimism comes from their demonstrated ability to achieve this kind of shift in perception/public consciousness.

The reality distortion field in the form of top tier marketing from Apple has the best hope of making progress in this area compared to those that have come before.

Could this all still be an enormous flop? Maybe. It could also be a Newton, and a decade later we’ll get the product Apple really wanted to ship: the iPhone (compact glasses).
I'd argue that the improvement for the users is just a byproduct in Discord's eyes. Pardon my pessimism, but I don't see Discord just deciding to stop monetizing more things. This is the encroachment of enshittiffication.
The point of laws isn't to protect people from themselves.

Years ago I had a blood test taken at a local pathology place, the form they were submitting had a CAPTCHA and pictures they were given weren't easy by any means. I'm talking the kind of stuff you get trying to go to google.com on Tor browser.

Some of these need to be fixed at a higher level.

On call monitoring responsibilities for a certain time period should be separate from resolution duties.

In other words, aside for some well defined ops issues that have clear runbooks, the role of the person monitoring should be find out or know who to escalate to, not resolve.

It's actually a great onboarding activity as it exposes new staff members to parts of the infra and operations that their managers/peers might have neglected to mention.

The second way to alleviate the issues is to pair a person such as yourself with a person that has a lot of institutional knowledge so that you can triage together, learn from them, and update the docs so the organisation as a whole has better resources. Eventually, the percentage of incidents where you don't have the institutional knowledge to know how to proceed will decrease to the point where it's mostly safe for you to do on-call on your own.

Then eventually you become the experienced on-call person that gets paired with the new employees that are gaining that institutional knowledge.
There are some 1.2 million car-crash-disabled people in the US, let's say they've accumulated over last 20 years on average, basically we need to triple the road toll and add for maintaining the disabled, so maybe cars need to save people 20 minutes per day. Still an easy win for cars.

Reducing car use and other measures to reduce car fatalities i.e. speed limits are only meaningful in this "productive man-years" dimension if you don't end up stealing more time from people's lives waiting for buses and driving 40kph.

In terms of fighting diseases that reduce productive man-years over say last 80 years, it's a very successful war, and there's little surprise that business is the best way to do it, just like many other things.

Looking at age-at-death, all causes plots for the US [0], where most people die past productive age, one can reasonably guess that the war on disease is in some sort of diminishing returns equilibrium, where saving an extra man-year costs more than one man-year, go figure.

The person you’re responding to is providing an example of context-sensitivity.
From the perspective of the average user:

- Forums are easy for search engines to index : don’t care

- Old threads on forums are easily discoverable : don’t care

- Forums have good threading in general : don’t care

- Individual forums are completely independent of each other (if one goes down, the others don't care) : don’t care

- It's easy to have completely different identities on different forums : don’t care

And this is why discord won. :)
Our claims aren’t in personality/publicity rights it’s on model release forms. Literally an unauthorized model that they are commercializing from a non-public setting.
> The marketing costs and effort are conveniently omitted.

I agree with you, but also somewhat disagree on the overall takeaway. Yes, of course you have to put more effort into it than just spending $200 NRE and $2.10 unit cost. The quiet part that really needs to be said out loud (way more than marketing costs and effort) is: find a niche with really great unit economics. When you've got a product with 10% margin, you have to manage all of those marketing costs very very carefully. When you've got a product with a raw 5000% margin, it matters way way less whether your CAC is even triple the raw manufacturing cost of the product.
It isn't, just the execution (explicit examples you mentioned vs looking the other way wrt PS and Adobe).

i would also recommend you research who came up with and popularized the CoC that everyone uses, and what comments this person had about what would happen when popular projects adopt it.

I wont tell you, as I dont want to be accused of putting words in anyones mouth, this will probably be downvoted, but go look it up yourself if you care.

In general i'd say, it doesnt matter who brings information, only what the information is, given how extremely objectively poor the standard CoC is, I think it bears consideration here.
> traditional forum plus some VoIP like teamspeak

I really dislike using Discord (visually confusing, spammy), but they've clearly hit the ball out the park in terms of adoption. The fact that you could provide similar functionality by combining two other products isn't really relevant is it?
Absolutely, these are also good things to take into account. There are really situations for all of these things, and this is why I don't like the approach of trying to "solve" this problem. Lots of people say "UUIDs solve IDs", or "UUIDs cause too many issues to use", or "ULIDs solve UUID issues", and in reality this is just another place where there are trade-offs, and what works for one company/project/dbms/table may not work for another, or may even cease to work over time as requirements or scale change.
These standards can largely be abstracted away by using a cloud that already does it for you.

For example a good secret is using Azure. It seems more expensive until you notice it provides many security certifications.
The best estimates I could find were around 35 million a year. At a conservative $400 APU that’s a $14 billion dollar a year business and no one doubts its profitable.
I wouldnt change my job even with 30% increase if they werent offering remote.

If you do not offer remote, then you better be... idk NASA, Microsoft, Apple, Jane Street or some fancy shit or paying way, way more

If a company does not realize that 0% fully remote workforce is significant talent pool disadvantage then Im shocked.

Yea, I do wonder how those complex, cross-geo products get built!

Cancer isn't a single disease that that can ever really be cured in the way that infectious diseases can be cured. But new drugs have raised 5-year survival rates for many types of cancer. The pharmaceutical industry at least is still highly productive.

Unfortunately we are offsetting those medical gains with higher incidence of some types of cancer. This is due to exposure to carcinogens (toxic chemicals) and unhealthy lifestyles (mainly obesity).
> Is it better than your tiny phone or cheap tablet on your tray table? Yes.

I hadn't thought of that. As a fairly tall person, working on a laptop or tablet on a plane has become a literal pain in the neck. I don't know if it's that the seats are closer, the tray tables are lower, or maybe I'm just getting old. This seems like a much more pleasant experience.
"Fringe" in terms of their popular support in this nominal democracy, I mean, not in terms of their power; you're quite right.
You can but you add an additional database lookup step which will cost you more in performance (and latency) than just using UUIDs as the ID directly with a single table.
It's quite the opposite of dark: Discord and whoever buys them gets to read the logs of every chat and every DM ever.

It's got to be a huge trove of behavioral and personal data that is immensely valuable to ad companies. People say all sorts of stuff in private DMs they'd never otherwise think to share with big tech.
