I wasn't presenting it as a perfect solution. I was observing that many people don't want to see paywalled results, some may want to see all of them because they may choose to pay, some may want to see them because they plan to use a paywall bypass, and some as you pointed out may want to see the subset they already pay for but not others. As a first pass, a binary approach seems better than nothing, and is simpler to provide than a more complex user-subscription-specific solution.
You dropped the API calls bit.

As it stands your site has to go through a TCP handshake then send the request and get the start of the response - at minimum that's 2 round trips. It then gets the JS and CSS tags in the head of the HTML and has to request those - let's assume HTTP/2 so that's another single RT of latency (on HTTP it's at least two depending on if you queue requests or send in parallel).

On 215ms RT latency that is an absolute minimum of 645ms before your JS has even started to be parsed. For a large bundle with a load of vendor code at the top in practice were talking several seconds to getting to the code that makes the API calls to get the content needed to render the first page.

And this is before we talk about any Auth, images, opening a websocket or two and people using microservices as an excuse to require a request for nearly every field on the page... (Or worse multiple requests and applying some logic to them...).

There is a fundamental minimum RT bound to a static JS based web app that is a multiple of a server rendered page. If you cache the HTML and JS bundle it can be worth it but you still need to aggregate data sources for the page on a backend and/or host it in multiple regions.

Using Copilot has taught me how to write better code comments. And the improved comment quality benefits everyone, not just the AI.

Even something as simple as adding a doc block for a method can boost the quality quite a bit.

I could live without it, but I'd also keep paying if the price increased.

Yeah, so as I understand it, AWS is using Dafny generated (Java) code in production. I think we can assume it won't be as efficient has hand written code (at this stage anyway) but it does give you the added guarantees.
That is possible, it probably wasn't intended to contain severe pressure from the inside. Of course, being rated to only about 1/3 of that depth from the outside isn't reassuring either.
A tangent question I have, and have asked here before without any satisfactory answer:

Canada’s economy runs on unrefined natural resources and housing. Without a domestic manufacturing sector all more consumers can do is keep the housing party going a while, that’s hardly a long term strategy. Might goose the numbers in advance of the next election though.
Ask HN: Did Chrome suddenly break cookies?
We've had a web app that lets you login via a cookie for months now. Used to work fine in chrome. Today all of a sudden, login no longer works. But only chrome. Safari, Firefox etc still fine. It just submits the form and get a 302 redirect but no cookie stored. How is this possible?
Peat ecosystems are an active area of research and estimates vary but they supposedly store twice as much carbon as all of the world's forests combined. Burning them up on the order of decades or even a century would probably kill all photosynthetic life on earth and anything that depends on it.

It would block out the sun with smoke, more than double the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, and increase the average global temperature anomaly from 1.5C to 4.5C just from the extra CO2 alone (not including the heat from the global fires). Burning it that fast might even lower the oxygen in the atmosphere enough to make it unlivable for large mammals like humans.

Thankfully, that's practically impossible because the fires would be limited by the amount of oxygen available to them. Realistically, it will take thousands of years, if not tens of thousands, to burn it all away.
You can't play both sides. If you ask it for something with a copyright and it gives it to you, it has broken the law governing this. Ask it for underage porn and it gives it to you.. it broke the law.

"Codey was fine-tuned on a large dataset of high quality, permissively licensed code from external sources" is not sufficient information to be able to provide attribution and licensing information.

Would it be possible to get a complete list of sources and licenses?
Yeah my point is, there are a whole lot of other things people tend to have in their carry-ons that are critical for their health. CPAP machines, CGMs, knee braces, allergy-specific emergency food, adult diapers, insulin, epi pens, the list goes on.

If there is actually an imminent threat to life, such as a fire, of course all of these things should be left behind. But I'm of the opinion that in no event should anyone's health be compromised in the name of a blanket policy to collect "evidence".

In short:

save lives >> protect health >> collect evidence

> Your examples are all about punishment, I'm talking about lifting them up, correcting the wrongs, reimbursing the damage done.

Lifting one group up is almost always at the expense of other groups, which is isomorphic to punishment.

If you have a way to lift some up without any disadvantage to others, we should probably just do that to an infinite extent to everyone.

The concept of "statute of limitations" exists.
Yes, but this sort of gotcha study is missing the fact that any merit-based system will discriminate against minorities that are not given a proper education.

Explicitly filtering by race is bad. However, if it leads to the same outcome as filtering by qualifications, then forcing people to switch hiring practices doesn’t actually improve anything.

The blame shouldn’t be on the hiring process, but instead (at least in the US) by the politicians that have set up our cities and schools to be systematically racist.

(I still think this is a bad SCOTUS ruling, to be clear.)
The corporations running America's hospitals and health systems are fully aware of this problem and have lobbied state governments to give physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, and in some cases even pharmacists the same powers as doctors. Depending on your state, you'll find an NP or PA where you might have expected a doctor 10 years ago -- places like urgent care clinics and standalone ERs.

Personally I'd be happy to see the ad driven model die. It used to be that people bought newspapers or didn't read them. They still had some ads, granted, but far less intrusive than today's web ads with their colours and animations.

I'm huge into supporting good journalism, and think we need some sort of intervention here. But I'm very very strongly opposed to this new law. If news sites want to charge for their content they should put it behind a pay gate.

I pay for news, but insultingly they STILL feed me ads. There is no tier that I can pay for that will eliminate the ads. I really don't have much sympathy for them given their refusal to somehow adapt to the times and offer service that users feel valuable enough to pay for.

LLM latency is a huge no go for most apps except for chat apps.

If learning this type of low-level CS is interesting, I can't recommend the NAND to Tetris course highly enough (https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer).

You start with a NAND gate (NOT AND) and built the simple gates, multiplexers, ALU, machine language, VM, compiler for a high level lang, OS, graphics engine, culminating with a game you design that runs on this computer.

> If someone out there offered a $20 a month service that granted access to Bloomberg, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, WaPost, Financial Times, all in one, I'd gladly buy that.

I don't, but I can sympathize.

I used to tinker a lot and explore and experiment on computers. I was excited to learn new tools and apps and systems. I built them from scratch and I constantly tweaked them, and therefore they were constantly in a state of flux and disrepair. I'm that guy who never bothered to put the case back on my tower enclosure.

But things changed, and my needs changed. I got to a point where my computers are mission-critical for managing my household, and my livelihood. And so I couldn't afford to tinker or to have things breaking. I've also winnowed down my need for apps to the bare minimum. In fact I recently purchased a Chromebook, and its slim profile makes me happy, because I am a man with simple needs.

So with a simple network, simple devices and simple apps, things rarely break for me, and I rarely need to delve into a troubleshooting session, or tweak a lot of options trying to get something working. It's a rabbit hole that I know well, and so I can steer clear.

I think a lot of people do waste time, though, whether it's gamers and tinkerers who like fixing stuff (and therefore always breaking stuff) or whether it's grandmas and managers who don't know computers, and so they spend far too long confused by simple problems and working with tech support who don't know how to troubleshoot either.

Computers were supposed to simplify our lives, and do the heavy lifting of repetitive tasks, and do everything faster, but we've sort of created them in our own image and likeness, so instead, computers are needy, must be fed and watered constantly, and have tantrums at inopportune moments. Welcome to the 21st century.

Personal opinion: sentence diagramming is counterproductive and worse than a waste of time. If you want your kids to learn another language, then putting them in a class/program designed to teach them that language is the best use of time. If you want them to be prepared for math then play logic games with them.

Sentence diagramming takes something intuitive, then makes it complicated and un-fun without any benefit for people learning their first language. Mindless sentence diagramming worksheets are like a quintessential example of the kind of thing that disengages kids from school and distracts them from interesting things they could be learning.

Google can index the articles independently of serving their entirety to visitors. Might as well claim that wikipedia can't have articles covering movies without acting as the worlds largest piracy site.

On the other hand Google wants all the articles for free, but doesn't have any motivation to share the users or ad impressions they attract.

I'm trying to take your reply in good faith, but I'm really not understanding. Can you walk me through your thought process? The earlier discussion was:

>>> But people are being treated badly due to their race

>> Unfortunately, I do not think you can force racists to stop being racist. Bigotry is perfectly legal.

> Why should the affected groups, or society at large, accept this? Why shouldn't we band together to try to make things fair in light of this fact?

So the court helped black people in regards to the bigotry of racists by "preventing universities from being racist". Your solution to racism is to treat everyone equally - which in turn means that black people just have to accept the bigotry of racists. So your solution is for them to just suck it up. Am I understanding you correctly?
I think you’ve missed the point. Copyright laws prevent others from copying your work without permission. (Hence the name.) Copyright laws say nothing about who can read your work.

If you want to prevent a web spider from scraping your blog, use a captcha or robots.txt. Copyright law doesn’t apply to this scenario.

Shhhh, don't give them ideas.
Open source isn't a collaborative work environment though. It's a collaborative community effort. People will hang out, chat. That even goes for a work environment, honestly. People are people, people will get to know each other and hang out and discuss their lives in any context. That's not inappropriate, that's human.
These days Gitlab's main customer is the enterprise. They pushed away a lot of their open source users when they heavily curtailed the free tier.

> If you absolutely need to know if an image is AI generated, you can just have a central authority in the system watch the person draw the picture on a piece of paper. Or drive to your house and hand you the paper and pencil and watch you draw it in person.
There are workflows or system designs that absolutely can and will solve for human-verified creation, they just might be incredibly costly or unscalable compared to existing solutions. It's all just tradeoffs. Might make existing business models no longer work. Might open new ones.

This is pretty much my point. Like you said, incredibly costly and unscalable. A non-solution! We're better off not pretending we can compute what is and isn't real.
Well, their fantasy wishlist is that Google and Meta are forced to index their junk, rank it at the top, feature it prominently, present it to any and all visitors, and pay for both the cost and the privilege.
But not to Greece.
See my other reply down below. That said I agree with the final conclusion that including the i is not a good idea, although I'm a bit on the fence on if the whole thing (I'm convinced by the tau=2pi arguments on the other hand).

I think this really is just a redefinition of sin and cosine (and consequentially the exponential). My feeling is that we now have to deal with different derivative operators for periodic and non-periodic functions and a lot of other weird disconnects, e.g. we don't have a relation between a cycle and the radius (diameter, circumference ...) anymore. I'm not convinced that the (minor IMO) conveniences that gives us is worth it.
Saving $ is easy to measure.

Making sure those $ saved didn’t screw things up somehow is the hard part to measure.

And - this is going to blow your mind - but sometimes you can actually make things more efficient by spending more money. Cutting costs can be the exact opposite of the right thing to do.

So while I am jealous that your productivity can be measured so simply, I’m dubious about how many programmers’ contributions can be so easily reduced to a simple metric.
