Well yes, you need to make a new type of display. It’s not a software technique to be applied to existing displays.
I think you need to go further than looking at the total misery, although that is definitely an important first step in preventing false accounting. You need to account for some basic “game theory / behavioral economics / control system”-type stuff: when you decrease or increase one variable, what happens to the other variables?

Applied at a crude level, this tells you that removing punishment misery will cause addiction misery to rise (which is an important refinement - a “total misery accounting” perspective that doesn’t have this included will believe that removing punishment misery would leave addiction misery unchanged, thus improving total misery).

Applied at a more sophisticated level, this gets you analyzing incremental changes in punishment or addiction policy: e.g. this new law adds x punishment misery, how much does it reduce addiction misery by? If the answer is “less than x”, you now have some objective basis for concluding this policy is “needlessly cruel”.

Getting your thing adopted as a Windows component and distributed by Windows Update is a common trap for Microsoft developers. It's always a mistake if you're in some DevDiv or random app team instead of the Windows team. Windows is the slowest-moving product that Microsoft has, and users don't install updates. Hitching your wagon to Windows means no two users will have the same version installed, and getting people to update .NET via Windows Update is a nightmare. God forbid the Windows team decides to stop supporting a version of Windows that is still commonly use in industry; they'll never get a .NET update again.

As a user, think about how annoying it is to get a message saying you need to run Windows Update before you can start an application. Totally unnecessary own-goal for the team that decided to ship their independent component in Windows Update.

It's way easier to either 1.) go self-contained, or 2.) use the on-the-fly .NET download for a framework-dependent build. I absolutely think they made the right call removing current .NET as a Windows component. The annoyance was far greater when .NET Framework was part of Windows.

> I've not had much pain with semver violations in the Rust ecosystem

The Rust ecosystem is pretty good about crate authors not knowingly violating semver. This tool is mostly to keep crate authors from unknowingly violating semver. It's possible that the reason that you haven't noticed is because even if a crate accidentally violates semver by making an unanticipated breaking change to a given API, either you're not using that particular API (who uses 100% of any given library?) or else that the breakage doesn't affect your specific usage (e.g. maybe some type no longer implements a trait, but you weren't using that trait to begin with).

I think this is a trick question. The answer is “none.”
And the reason for this is because for most people a word substation is a zero effort change that simply doesn't matter one way or another. And if one way is better for whatever reason then sure, why not? One side cares because they're trying to eliminate bias and be inclusive, the other side cares because…?

"words have meaning": this is a right wing dog whistle, even if you are a true language prescriptivist no one will believe you.

"it's stupid": just makes you look like an asshole when someone is trying to do something people see as in good faith.

"it's pointless": then why does it matter one way or another? Goto other reason.

"it's not racist": when we're talking about blacklists it never was, it's about trying to not always associate black with the negative connotation, but you look really racist for wanting to keep it.

"black outside the context of race does have negative connotations in humans, you can't change that we're afraid of the dark": now you look really really racist.

If you look at this distribution map from the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/distribution.html) you can see that Mexico and Central America as well most of South America are in yellow with malaria known to occur in some places and the US, Canada, and Europe with Malaria not known to occur in blue, I think my question is valid. How many of the 80 million legal visitors are from Africa and SE Asia or yellow or orange areas? I lived in Macau for 7 years and Indonesia for a year and spent a lot of time in remote areas with dengue fever and malaria present, and even with a non-stop flight you are 16 hours from JFK from Hong Kong not including the 2 hours at the airport and the travel to the airport. In the past few years there are now increasing numbers of Venezuelan, Cuban, and Haitian immigrants (small orange area is Haiti on CDC map) and people from Ukraine, India, and Turkey. My guess is your healthcare is not on par with those flying in legally (look at the blue areas from overseas) too, so I don't think this is an unreasonable factor to consider especially since illegal immigration is not as easy to track or control given you only count who you catch and some statistical estimates based on that sample.

Last quarter they had negative operating margins of over 20%. That’s not really marginal. Considering they already do over $500mln in revenues and are growing mid 30s it’s very possible they never make a profit.

A big chunk of software VC success over the past 20 years has been public markets accepting loss making companies and giving them a lot of credit for potential future margins.

I wish we could stay away from generalities. There is no one size fits all answer to questions like "should I take funding?". The answer depends on your goals and where you are competing.

If what you are trying to do is capital intensive, has tons of competition and generally will need the scale in order to compete/turn a profit, you should probably take VC funding.

If you want full control over your product or are operating in a niche and think the explosive growth necessary will hinder you, you have different priorities. You might not be trying to make the next "big thing" and in this case probably don't take funding. In fact, you probably don't want VC funding because your goals don't align with theirs.

Like most difficult questions, the answer is: it depends.

Comparing Oculus’s products of years ago with Vision Pro makes no sense.
As someone who's worked for tons of startups, it's not that binary. For loads of industries, there is simply no viable path without significant outside funding (whether from a VC or very rich founder), and even if you look at some of the most famous outliers (like Atlassian), I don't believe the path they took is even viable these days anymore.

For example, if you're selling any sort of business SaaS product these days, the regulatory regime has changed greatly from 20+ years ago. The cost of just something like SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, which most enterprises will require to even talk to you, often prohibitively prohibits bootstrap-like funding models. Couple that with the fact that software engineering salaries are comparatively way higher than they were 20 years ago.

The short of it is that a lot of people take VC funding not because they want the "misery of competing, stress, exposure, running all the time etc etc", but because, in many industries, there is simply no other option if you're not already rich.

I didn't like most of this post but did feel like the "Second Order Effects", for the most part, ring true.

The only thing I can comment on here with any authority is the consult-to-product model, which I've attempted a bunch of times. It is drastically harder than this post makes it seem to pivot from a viable consulting business to a product; it's notoriously difficult, consultancies are constantly trying to do it (it's the dream!), and very few of them succeed.

That's not to say you shouldn't do a consulting company! They can be great. If you are comfortable with the idea of settling into a long-term consultancy if the product doesn't work out, it's a good way to hedge. Most products fail too! But consultancies (as opposed to products bootstrapped by consultancies) are probably a lot safer to build.

Similar advice from Mark Cuban: "If you think that raising capital is the best way to get your business off the ground, you’re wrong, according to Mark Cuban.

Some quick thoughts:

1. You can find the latest operating budget (for 2023-2024) here[0]. It's $1.28bn.

2. The student ratio and cost per teacher assumptions I have were meant to be generous, to illustrate how, even with generous assumptions, it's hard to explain why $24k/student isn't enough.

3. If you do want to look at actual teacher costs for SFUSD, don't forget to sum salaries, benefits and pensions. If you want to look at total compensation for a specific teacher, Google 'transparent california', which has a searchable database for past years.

4. Cost of living changes don't affect everyone equally. Due to rent control, people who signed a rental contract 10-15 years ago (like many SFUSD teachers) aren't paying the same as folks who moved more recently.

> I never said that. I said C chose to reuse the symbols from FORTRAN. To repeat part of the Wirth quote from above (but it's easy to find other sources):

> "It goes back to Fortran in 1957, and has blindly been copied by armies of language designers."

That's a pretty broad brush that Wirth is painting with. All those other language designers were blindly following FORTRAN; I'm the only one with the wisdom to break precedent. Yeah, um... that's way too broad a statement. Each language followed precedent and broke precedent in certain areas, and they all did so for what they thought were good reasons. "What people are used to" is one reason, but far from the only one. The "number of characters" reason was one I read from (IIRC) Brian Kernighan. I trust him to have a better grasp of the design logic of C than Wirth does.
I doubt "valuing virality" is the real problem. But when you're exposed to a universal network whose numbers increase every day, there are moments when it happens no matter if you want it or not. The "slashdot effect" has been coined maybe 25 years ago, so it's obviously not a new thing. :P

> This is true of anything any business does.

Exactly, now you get it. It's especially true for FANG, which literally exists only for the purpose of squeezing as much money as possible out of us.

I'll give you an excellent data point on Google as an example. They don't care about click-fraud, at all, because it makes them money. In fact, it makes them so much money, I don't think realistically they could exist without it. When I was a teenager I ran a network of websites, one of which three of my web developer friends actually ran ads on frequently for their websites. We got attacked by a massive click-fraud botting attack (shady competitor wanted to get us kicked off of AdSense). Anyway, $843 of my earnings that month got flagged as click-fraud. $55 of that was actually ads that were run by my friends. While Google happily ripped that money away from me, my three friends never got anything refunded nor any indication that their ad buys were subject to click fraud.

FANG is a bunch of criminals.

Yikes. I knew they’ve hemorrhaged money but I didn’t know it was that much. I ran the numbers once back when their total funding a lot less. And I came to the conclusion that with that money they could have literally paid every cab driver’s salary for a year and given out free rides. But since you need regulators to look the other way, there was enough to literally give every state legislator in every single state a million dollars. And I’m sure it’d take far less. And there was still a sizable chunk left over.

I feel like the startup game for a while now has been… and the numbers are arbitrary but I don’t think the dynamic is wrong… raise about $100 million to get a total of $10m in revenue and then be worth $1b. That’s not business as we think of it.

Just because one person doesn't find a piece of information useful doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't. Semver is a useful foundation to build versioning semantics upon, and nothing more. I find all three components to be useful for communicating the scope of changes in any given version, and tools like the OP that enforce these assumptions make semver even more useful. If you think that patch versions are useless, then you're free to omit them in your own libraries.
> a company can simply get the weights for free and sell them.

This is the flaw in your logic. If the weights are freely available, they can not be sold for much value. That will in turn mean there is no "another OpenAI", because the core product, AI, will basically be freely available.
That looks nearly identical to my own Rev A. The one I have the prior owner built a small plywood and acrylic enclosure for. It's the original enclosures for these things that their original owners built that really give them personality, like this suitcase unit.
