No, because what he described actually works.

Clothing used to be hugely expensive:

https://www.bookandsword.com/2017/12/09/how-much-did-a-shirt...

> So the shirts of humble servants at Henry VIII’s court cost between 3 and 10 days’ income. That would be similar to someone who earns 10 dollars or Euros an hour spending 240 to 800 dollars or Euros on an item today. (Of course, in the 15th and 16th century, people spent much more of their incomes on food, fuel, and clothing than they do in Europe or European settler societies today, and much less on rent, transportation, and medical care … but it seems that most people could make or obtain one or two new shirts every year or so).

https://www.bookandsword.com/2021/05/08/how-much-did-a-tunic...

> In the Edict, the simplest linen tunic could be sold for up to 500 denarii, whereas a linen weaver was to be paid 20 or 40 denarii per day plus maintenance. Fine linen tunics could be sold for up to 7,000 denarii. Elsewhere in the Edict, workers without maintenance (food and possibly fuel and shelter) earn about twice as much as those with. So a linen weaver would need to work for (500 / 2×40 to 500 / 2×20) 6 to 12 days to earn the price of the simplest linen tunic. That is not so different from the 3 to 10 days’ income for a worker to buy a shirt at the court of Henry VIII of England, considering that the ancients did not have spinning wheels. The linen tunics in 301 CE were probably woven as one rectangular or cross-shaped piece and sewed up the sides and under the arms, whereas the English shirts were cut and sewed from long pieces of cloth, but that is another story.

These days, you can buy a shirt for a much smaller amount of money, so you have more money to spend on other things, and the economy can grow. This isn't a new concept; in fact, it's so old, we tend to forget how things were before it took hold with the birth of industrialization and automation.
Don't forget AGPL to close the SaaS loophole.

FWIW it's arguable whether GPL3 was even needed to close the Tivo loophole, since GPL2 includes "the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable". It's unfortunate that none of the major kernel copyright holders are willing to litigate

This whole GPL with contractual restrictions was tried before by Sveasoft (WRT54G firmware). They ended up failing and becoming a footnote in history, but Redhat is obviously much larger and more significant to the overall ecosystem.
I have a 2021 Model Y and a 2023 S Plaid. I'll never go back. The Plaid is truly an amazing car. It will beat super cars in 0-60 and the quarter mile (at a fraction of the cost), seat 5, reach speeds over 200 mph, has lots of storage in the trunk + frunk, has an SSD + GPU with an 18" screen that has Steam installed and works with wireless controllers, self driving is great, the phone placement is the most optimal I've ever seen in a car, no key needed (just walk up to the car and it knows you are you because of your phone, or use a credit card style key), and the audio system it outstanding. Oh, and the white interior looks like a space ship, makes no noise, has long range, has a screen in the back to watch Netflix and YouTube. Other than looks, I can't figure out why I'd buy an exotic car (I don't track them).
I only got to use an Amiga much later when it was already "retro" but the gigantic pixelated icons meant to be displayed on an TV over composite and ugly fonts and gaudy colors just gave me the impression that it was a toy. Reinforced by all the pirated games the one I had to use came with.

It's a shame Commodore never properly iterated on the product to let it reach it's potential.
The best dentist I ever had was the one we had at the Apple campus. He was paid by Apple and everything was covered by corporate, more or less (whatever the insurance didn’t cover beyond copay was paid by Apple if I recall correctly).

I saw them for awhile and we got friendly. He was a younger guy and told me that he was probably one of the few honest dentists in the area because his pay wasn’t dependent on high dollar procedure to make enough to keep a practice open. Apparently, unlike medical insurance, dental insurance pays pittance for most things, so upselling procedures is how dentists really make money, usually.

Best dentist I ever had. Rarely did I need more than regularly scheduled cleanings and when I did he always started with the least invasive options (I grind my teeth in my sleep and before I realized it and got a guard there were complications)

I miss that guy. I’ve been suspicious of dentists ever since and look for signs.

You fell for the myth. Stanford explodes it:

I think the AI space is getting broad attention from the public, largely due to generative AI. However, I think this is a bit of a double-edged sword. AI has a trust problem - people know it lies to you. It lies to me all the time. Convincingly! This is hurting people's initial impressions and I suspect that we're going to lose traction for a while before we once again re-gain it as the trust problem is solved. Time will tell.
Is intelligence what we should focus on? The smartest people often make the worst decisions due to hubris.
I like the cartoon style of the logos, did you hired a designer for it or did you used a generative tool like Midjourney ?
>When I do floss regularly, absolutely no issue with bleeding or inflammation.

Do they bleed during flossing though? I used to get bleeding gums after brushing teeth, but switching to a softer toothbrush stopped it. Flossing, at the start, does cause my gums to bleed though.
At which point they'll spend the next day or three smushing something together that they'll regret for the next ten years, and then write something like this. The cycle continues.
There's definitely a few echo chambers around AI, but it's definitely not something that "just techies" are onto.

ChatGPT made some waves at the end of last year. My in-laws were wanting to talk to (at) me about it at Christmas. There's plenty of awareness outside of the tech circles, but most of the discussion (both out and in of the tech world) seems to miss what LLMs actually _are_.

The reason why ChatGPT was impressive to me wasn't the "realism" of the responses... It was how quickly it could classify and chain inputs/outputs. It's super impressive tech, but like... It's not AI. As accurate as it may ever seem, it's simply not actually aware of what it's saying. "Hallucinations" is a fun term, but it's not hallucinating information, it's just guessing at the next token to write because that's all it ever does.

If it was "intelligent" it would be able to recognise a limitation in its knowledge and _not_ hallucinate information. But it can't. Because it doesn't know anything. Correct answers are just as hallucinatory as incorrect answers because it's the exact same mechanism that produces them - there's just better probabilities.
I want to add this quote that I was originally looking for, and at last found in Jaynes's "Where do we Stand on Maximum Entropy?" (page 237 of http://ndl.ethernet.edu.et/bitstream/123456789/33178/1/R.%20...)

---

In the Summer of 1951, Professor G. Uhlenbeck gave his
famous course on Statistical Mechanics at Stanford, and fol-
lowing the lectures I had many conversations with him, over
lunch, about the foundations of the theory and current progress
on it. I had expected, naively, that he would be enthusiastic
about Shannon's work, and as eager as I to exploit these ideas
for Statistical Mechanics. Instead, he seemed to think that
the basic problems were, in principle, solved by the then
recent work of Bogoliubov and van Hove (which seemed to me
filling in details, but not touching at all on the real basic
problems)--and adamantly rejected all suggestions that there
is any connection between entropy and information.

His initial reaction to my remarks was exactly like my
initial reaction to Shannon's: "Whose information?" His
position, which I never succeeded in shaking one iota, was:
"Entropy cannot be a measure of 'amount of ignorance,' because
different people have different amounts of ignorance; entropy
is a definite physical quantity that can be measured in the
laboratory with thermometers and calorimeters." Although the
answer to this was clear in my own mind, I was unable, at the
time, to convey that answer to him. In trying to explain a
new idea I was, like Maxwell, groping for words because the
way of thinking and habits of language then current had to be
broken before I could express a different way of thinking.

Today, it seems trivially easy to answer Professor Uhlen-
beck's objection as follows: "Certainly, different people
have different amounts of ignorance. The entropy of a thermo-
dynamic system is a measure of the degree of ignorance of a
person whose sole knowledge about its microstate consists of
the values of the macroscopic quantities Xi which define its
thermodynamic state. This is a completely 'objective' quantity
in the sense that it is a function only of the Xi, and does not
depend on anybody's personality. There is then no reason why
it cannot be measured in the laboratory."

> He points out that American and Canadian commuter rail riders drive long distances just to get to a cheaper or faster park-and-ride stations, but are reluctant to take the train if they have any transfer at the city center end.

To me, it's more about the number of transfers instead of where the transfer is. If I'm traveling from mountain view to the mission, I have 3 options: drive whole way, drive short distance to Caltrain then switch to BART in Millbrae, drive long distance to Milpitas BART.

Transferring at Millbrae seems like the worst option just because I have to pay attention at intermittent intervals which feels more stressful.

Bike park+ride is universally free for the first 24 hours, and after that only paid at major railway stations. The sole reason it is paid is to prevent people from leaving their bike there when they only use it once a week.

My local train station has a parking capacity of well over 20.000 bikes, and that still isn't enough.
> You don’t need, and shouldn’t use, any numbers at the team level inside the team.

Hm. Well, using a calibrated estimation (story points) is very useful on the long run. Mixing up its use as a descriptive predictive tool with a normative enforcement framework will lead to having a bad time :/

Imagine yourself in the movie Apocalypto and I'm using a Hollywood film on purpose here - the entire Universe of being as you see it all the sudden explodes its Universe with new Gods/demons different and more powerful _everything_ coming to kill you. And then there's the boring discovery of "we're just one planet in one solar system in one Galaxy...

LLMs gonna be orders of magnitude beyond that (in)comprehension? I mean maybe it will be more powerful and maybe it will come to kill us, but that's not an inconceivable new story line.

Funny that both of us can accuse one another of hubris.

Your copypasta is out of date. https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html. The updated version is:

A quotation circulates on the Internet, attributed to me, but it wasn't written by me.

Here's the text that is circulating. Most of it was copied from statements I have made, but the part italicized here is not from me. It makes points that are mistaken or confused... < original copypasta>

The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.

We don't use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.

It’s funny that people have been coming out of the woodwork finally, realizing Teslas worth the valuation because of the charging station partnerships they’ve done recently. Those are actually meaningless and will contribute a very very tiny percentage of profits into the future. The reason Teslas valuation is so high is because people value it as an AI company which may dominate Robo taxis and humanoid robots in the future
There definitely is an echo chamber, but not related to the existence of ChatGPT and other AI technologies (even the "menial" laborers I know being relatively aware of it, and my parents and family members frequently talking about it in the context of deepfakes/cheating (at school)/automation/healthcare.

Common reactions to ChatGPT and a lot of the fear are definitely overemphasized in the tech field, but that makes sense.

True. Star had something no other system's ever tried to do, namely dedicated MOVE / COPY / PROPERTIES / DELETE keys, which were supposed to be universal for all types of objects. Nowadays, cut / copy / paste have become the universal operations, and mouse button chording / two finger press have become the equivalent of the PROPS key. Also, Star had no menu bar across the top, another thing that would be pretty confounding for a modern user.

That's not to say dedicated keys were the right idea! It was just one of those things that sounded good at the time but didn't catch on.

For the point I'm trying to make, the particulars of the strategy don't matter. What matters is the fact that the larger and/or more numerous your orders are, the more likely you are to move the price, and any such price movements will necessarily be disadvantageous to you.

I.e., if you're buying, the larger your buy order is (well, assuming a visible buy order) the more likely it is that liquidity-adding sellers will increase the price of their sell orders. Also makes it less likely that liquidity-taking sellers will want to trade against your large buy order, because (like everyone else) they'll tend to interpret your large buy order as a sign that the price is likely to increase, so not as good a time to sell.

You could of course use hidden orders to avoid some of those disadvantages, but hidden orders have their own set of tradeoffs too.
In the case of Bharat QR (India) or QRIS (Indonesia), it's just a standard which various payment methods implement. So you can choose to scan the QR with the app of the bank that you want to pay from, or with a mobile wallet app (those wallets themselves usually being able to be linked to bank accounts, cards, etc).

In the case of Alipay and WeChat Pay (China), the QR codes are proprietary to the mobile wallet app, but both also support connecting the wallet to bank accounts and cards.

When using a card the safety characteristics are quite similar to Apple Pay or PayPal: the card details are neither stored on your phone nor transferred to the merchant. But in these markets few people use cards; they either pay directly from their bank account using these QR systems, or they keep a balance in a mobile wallet and pay from that.

Is that actually how it ends up going? Unless your base is extremely small, then going slower means less pollution reaches the biters and they evolve slower.

It's really fascinating that our industry produces these kinds of bitter, cynical guys who are so brainwormed they talk in terms of ridiculous tribes like "tech bros" without realizing they're stereotyping people in a way nearly indistinguishable than the kinds of stereotyping that goes on in the minds of bigots. Yes, there have been waves of disruption over the last few decades where idealists have had all kinds of under-defined imaginary utopian concepts of where things ought to go with new media and new technology, and many of those things just didn't pan out. Sometimes it was due to capitalism, or stupidity, or the deficiencies of people in positions of power, but often when things fail due to capitalism after many attempts it's because people simply didn't want the thing once it was offered up. The good news is there is always another wave to catch and try again, try it differently, or try to simply correct what you feel went wrong. You can always tell when someone has flipped into becoming a poisoned cynic like this when they stop being cynical about the past and start being cynical about the uncharted future. I pray to God I go to my grave never being like this, it must be an absolutely miserable way to go through the world.

Whatever floats your boat, but I find the interior of tesla's incredible bland and boring. Stale "futuristic" BS that's devoid of any personality.

"SSD and GPU" is a freaking bizarre thing to tout. You mean it has an entertainment system with a full computer with enough grunt to light gaming on. Yippy.

This feature, while I am sure loved by most people and is evident from the sales, is not something that I like and hence would never own a Tesla. I simply don't like the idea of my car and car's app beaming my data to HQ all the time.
No, it's far less defensible, because people have the internet to look up and verify things as needed.

This kind of censorship is just nannying, which I'm generally against.

Then again, given how inept people are at thinking for themselves, maybe a nanny state is what's best.
Airports in the rest of the world tend to be more impressive and have better services (restaurants, lounges, bars, shopping).
