The word business is doing a lot in this sentence. Crypto finally has been exposed for what it was all along and now the next hot thing is AI.

AI is real though… but everyone who thinks forking over massive amounts of money to OAI is good business is going to be sorely disappointed when prices increase and/or apis go away all together.

You need to be building something of your own based on the tech. The hallmark of crypto bro turned ai influencer is doing none of the work themselves… just like they let everyone else mine the crypto and then basically just stole it.

While we're dispensing with unsolicited advice about what is and is not important in how we think, you can just choose to not be upset by this stuff. The fact is here that lots of people are getting irrationally upset by the this GDP story. You can make peace with that and just move on without having to start bashing America or Americans. Ranting about how you think the average American has a hard time imagining more to life than money and things like that is just deeply weird. Fascinating though, so feel free not to take my advice and continue with it.

Indeed - and these may be some of the areas that U/L can't or won't improve further, but new competition (like that in the article) can and might.

--

But U&L showed how awfully customer-unfriendly and antiquated the existing industry was. Introducing an app which can call a taxi in seconds to your GPS location, offering easy destination selection, seamless electronic payment, and a feedback system, were the innovations that the incumbent taxi and mini-cab industry was unable or unwilling to introduce, until competition forced them to. These innovations aren't linked to the employment model - that is something that U&L chose.

(Just like Tesla with the Model S, anyone could have done this first, but no-one did, until someone else did.)
>There’s meaning in that work if you accept that it’ll have lasting effects beyond you.

Read what I said, "it will all be for naught, at least for you." Meaning all that time spent learning things and gaining knowledge and wealth won't matter for you because you'll be 6 feet under. It's along the lines of Jobs' quote, "you'll be the richest man in the cemetery." He was 56 when he died, how many years until you are 56? Probably not as many as you'd like.

>I’m just trying to find meaning in the mundane, not trying to preach. This view that being alive and healthy and able to raise a family isn’t enough is always disheartening.

I dunno where you got that from what I said. It's enough, it's great, it will be all over real soon because of the march of time. It's all for naught because we'll be worm food.

You completely misinterpreted what I said, you pretty much came up with the opposite.
When the peak of the hype cycle starts to fall (and there are signs of that now) it’s going to be a very hard road for the vast majority of these startups. 85% is probably optimistic.

Few have done anything that has defensible IP, there are no moats in this business (if someone builds a better model you just move to that), most startups have no viable business model given the bad unit economics of running generative AI training and inference, the regulatory environment is also ramping up and its looking ugly. Once one looks past the initial wow factor there’s just not much there there from a business standpoint. All that combined with the fact that many VCs are just starting to lick their wounds from some terrible investment decisions of the 2019-22 era and there won’t be much of a net to catch those that stumble.

I find the tech really interesting, but this is all looking quite terrible from a business sense.

If this is someone’s “moral code” then it goes against basically all of human history’s actions with the elders helping out the children until they get on their feet, and then the children supporting their parents when the parents age. Not everyone has the privilege to align with this system, but certainly aligning instead with a contrived moral code comes across more as sour grapes than any principled stand against receiving some help from one’s elders.

Separate checking accounts mean absolutely nothing during a divorce. It’s all considered marital property and is split. That along with “your” retirement savings, physical property etc.

If my wife and I got divorced, our joint checking accounts is the least of my complications.

I’ve got retirement accounts and two properties (our former primary home that’s rented out and our vacation property) and since we agreed for her to stop working in 2020, I would end up paying alimony.

I did get a divorce before when I had three properties and a 401K. Luckily none of the houses had any equity of note and I was a simple matter of giving my ex cash out of my 401K (a QDRO)
Personally, I think "charge by hour" is not a good piece of advice. If you are a low-tier freelancer, there may be no other way to go, and you must accept that.

For most things, mid-tier to high-tier, from my experience, it works better by day or (even better) by project.

Suppose there are only a few billable hours. In that case, there are many times more non-billable, for anything, from negotiating, through communication in between, to finalizing and invoicing. Also, 8x1h is much more work than 1x8h. The latter is a typical workday; the former is exhausting with its context-switching.

It's true that the server is where Java has been most successful, by a large margin.

But it was never Java's "original premise", which is what the comment you are replying to was about. According to their (very heavy-handed) marketing at the time, Java was supposed to be for native desktop applications and for "applets". But yeah, in the many years it took for those promises to truly become hollow, Java carved out a surprisingly robust niche for itself on the enterprise server.

Also, I am skeptical of this last sentence of yours. The thing that resisted the Windows server onslaught, broadly, was the wide range of free-as-in-speech-and-as-in-beer backend technologies, like Perl, PHP, Python, Postgres, and some other things that start with "P", as well as, yeah, Java. Java played a role, but it was just one of many.
Thanks, I wasn't aware.

I am somewhat familiar with Orthodox Jews, though probably a different area than what you grew up with.

I think what's been lost in places is that living an outwardly religious life is one thing[0], while being deeply religious inwardly is the next level. The second thing is harder to teach or even talk about so it gets ignored, vs ritual etc.

It's maybe the same as the difference between "dragging yourself to the gym"[0] and "loving fitness."

//And many of them struggle with meaning in life - the community, religion and kids don't solve that.

This seems like the crux of the difference between deep and superficial engagement with religion. In my experience, a deeply religious person (of any religion) sees a profound amount of connectivity and meaning in everything in the universe, and sees their family and community life in the context of contributing to that meaning. The statement you made is analogous to me to "working out doesn't make you fitter" - it puts a big question mark around the exercise you're doing.

[0] While obviously connecting deeply is the goal, there's a lot of benefit to even the less deep engagement. Your friends whom you describe as bitter - you can imagine that the secular society is full of bitterness too, plus no community or kids. Likewise, even if you "drag yourself to the gym" you're way ahead of those who don't, even though you may hate it.
These are not "leisure travel" though. I guess for some people private life and business life are so intwined they no longer know the difference.

All right, we've been complaining about this forever. How do we fix it? The best thing I can think of, as a developer, is to deliberately use slower computers to test my software.

That's the stat for all cars and trucks, but drone delivery isn't going to get commuters off the road. How many deaths are due to package delivery vehicles? More specifically, how many are due to the vehicles that will actually be replaced by drones?

That's the number to beat, and even a single collision with an airplane would most likely make up the yearly allotment before we even get into "package falls on someone's head", "drone runs out of battery over the freeway", and all the other failure modes a drone has.
I wrote thousands of lines of C code on an Atari Portfolio, which was my portable development machine for a few years .. it had Turbo C on it, booted up real fast, and was all I needed to make tweaks in between visiting customers - I wrote database recovery software with it .. It was always very fun to break it out at the conference table upon arrival, make the needed changes (magic numbers), do a quick build and then plop the .com onto the target machine for processing ..

Still have those machines somewhere, great little devices.

The notion of the Commonwealth is largely historial and empire-based, as the article mentions. However, with the Olympics widely viewed as highly corrupt, an alternative set of games is worthwhile. It's a pity it can't be expanded to the world as an alternative.

Second, this seems a particularly bad impact:

> Australian swimmer Rowan Crothers points out the cancellation is particularly painful for people with disabilities. The Commonwealth Games is the only major international competition that features athletes with a disability alongside able-bodied athletes.

> "[It's] a great opportunity to raise awareness for disabled sport. Seeing the Games cancelled will suck for the state of inclusion," he wrote on Twitter. "For some athletes, a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games means more than a gold medal at the Paralympics… recognition and equality can mean more than achievement."
My accountant in the US always recommended against it because it is a red flag. And, yeah, it would be one room in my house and not dedicated for work purposes so it wouldn't be a big deduction.

I have once made something remotely similar, to interop between C++ and C#: https://github.com/Const-me/ComLightInterop

I took different approach. Because I only needed to support these two languages, there’s no separate interface definition language, and no code generator for interfaces. Instead, users are expected to write both language projections manually.

Then there’s a runtime code generator on the .NET side of the interop which builds runtime callable proxy types for interfaces implemented in C++, also virtual tables for C# objects consumed by C++.

This sounds an awful lot like "God of the gaps" argumentation with "non-Turing hypercomputation" substituting for "God". If the computational approach doesn't work — that's all of human reason, to emphasize: any symbols you can scribble on paper and reason about over coffee, that's a finite algorithmic process — then there's no humanly-achievable endeavor that can solve the problem. It's forever hiding in the gaps, the shadows; it's definitionally unknowable.

So what field of science are we discussing right now? One of the more frivolous branches of philosophy: talking about something that we can't define, can't reason about, won't ever be able to reason about; something which marks no experimental evidence in our human sciences. Therefore: it doesn't exist. Apply your favorite razor. Something we can't possibly talk about, let's not talk about. Something whose existence or non-existence are indistinguishable, which leaves no shadow in the observable universe: it does not exist.

In engineering and otherwise the USSR launched the first satellite, person in space, sent the first probes to the moon and other planets, and pushed the US into space.

The civil rights moment in the US was often accused of being communist because - a lot of it was communist, and supported by the USSR, at least in the days of Paul Robeson and the Scottsboro Boys and Martin Luther King at the Highland Folk school (billboards through the South had a picture of King there "King at communist training school"). Actually if you watch the Nightline of Mandela coming to the US, half the speakers accused him of being a USSR-aligned communist. The USSR contributed to the anti-colonial struggles around the world - from China to Cuba to Vietnam, and contributed to it in other countries like India.

Plus it did most of the fighting in WWII for the US and UK to defeat Germany (of course nowadays the US and UK flipped it to Germany against Russia).

The USSR also helped push a blue collar working class proletariat into a kind of middle class. This began being rolled back even when the USSR still existed but was weak, and is still being rolled back.
