> Anybody can spin up a website hosting .mp3s like Audible does.

Sure, but audiobook publishers won't be there because of their exclusivity requirement with Audible, and they won't drop the exclusivity requirement because Audible has all the market share, and so the website never grows to compete.

Once Amazon figured this out with the Kindle and started pushing exclusivity there, books very quickly started disappearing from other online stores.

I don't think this is SPP. SPP highlights in the difference between the mathematically optimal choice and the choice chosen in practice. It is a difference between theory and practice. The problem proposed in this article occurs even in theory alone. Non-ergodicity means there is a mismatch between "the average of all possibilities in the next time-step" and "the long-term trend of one datapoint".

If we put bounds on the bank in SPP, the first coin toss would still have positive EV. In the new ergodicity problem, even with bounds on the bank, it is unclear whether the "first" coin toss is worth taking.

Fwiw I actually wasn’t trying to advocate shaming people as a solution to drug addiction. At all.

I’m not even addressing addiction, but rather the socially disruptive manifestations of drug addiction related activities that are becoming increasingly common, especially in the United States.

Obviously my (now suppressed) comment was poorly written if it gave that impression.

I was suggesting rather that the disruptive social circumstances that we are seeing in the USA surrounding drug addiction are partly a result of people not feeling that they need to keep disruptive behaviours to a minimum out of a sense of personal discretion.

I have lived all over the world, and in many areas with serious addiction problems, but the kind of overt behaviour common in the last decade in the USA is uncommon in most of those cultures, and i posit that is a direct extension of the addicts themselves retaining a sense of personal dignity.

The idea of personal dignity and it’s corollary, shame, seems to be conspicuously missing in the subcultures where these kind of problems are recently erupting compared to subcultures with similar base problems where the public presentation tends to be more benign. But that is just my empirical observation from living amongst different peoples and cultures.

Furthermore, I think that replacing personal standards and self moderation with stronger regulations and reductions of civil liberties is a dangerous path that can jeopardise the functioning of a healthy democratic society.

In summary, I see shame ( not being shamed by others, but rather feeling shame in oneself) is an undervalued component in the moderation of behaviour and has utility that we ignore at our peril.

Some commenters have pointed out that shame sometimes prevents people from seeking help for addiction or other circumstances. I think that is an excellent example of where a usually useful thing can sometimes be tragically harmful. It’s an excellent counterpoint, though I never meant to suggest that shame was universally a good thing, only that it is often a useful thing. It’s definitely worth mentioning though, since my examples do tend towards being unreasonably rosy in that regard.

Personally, I strive to be able to look back at my actions and words of 5 years ago and feel a deep sense of shame- this is an indication that I have grown as a person and have transcended behaviour that I earlier would have thought of as being nominal. That’s just one example of how I find shame to be useful in my own growth.
The primary purpose of the CIA is to maintain a continuous pipeline of endless wars to fuel the military industrial complex. All other goals are secondary. This has been true since the CIA and LBJ assassinated John F Kennedy in a coup to overthrow the US government.
You're not wrong about housing prices and greed, but also your math doesn't add up.

4000 sqft * $150/sqft is 600K, not 350K.

Still overpriced by quite a bit even with the cost of the land ($350K) and high end finishes though.
Okay, so have you banned them now?

> However, from the social perspective of feeding the people in his area, it's immensely helpful.

Is it? Many of these places are serving WAY too many calories, in arguably questionable conditions, and relying on minimum wage labor to make it. So you're being paid to help other people pay to get fat.

I think it should be okay to recognize that a job has no real value except generating income for the owner. If the owner cared about the work, he'd be right there next to the workers.

People sometimes want pizza, and they're willing to part with money to get it. It's not deeper than that. The social value from a pizza job is in the vibe between your coworkers cursing the entitled customers, and the occasional good tip. Many people who work food service are down on their luck, drug users, or recovering druggies. Looking at it through a social lens, I would see this as the capital class exploiting the poor for income and furthering their suffering.

Most jobs are bullshit. There are some that are supremely important, but most could be replaced or outright forgotten, and the only problem would be "We built a system assuming everyone was forced to work and support themselves, whoops." Humanity is slowly creeping up to the point where everyone doesn't need to work, and we're not socially ready for it.

> "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result"

This is a nitpick, but it's often completely reasonable to expect a different result by doing the same thing. Nothing against what you wrote, I just hate this saying so much. It's usually wrong to assume things are context-free. Most of life is defined by routine. Erosion carved out the surface of the earth, breathing and eating keeps you alive, etc.

At some point the definition of "same" comes under scrutiny and you will find that it's impossible to truly do the exact same thing more than once, and yet even if it was possible you might still get a different result because other things you had no control over changed. Entropy makes it all just so.

Is there anything interesting about this story besides that it has OpenAI in the headline?

I assumed there was a data breach, but no, this is just 200k credentials stolen from people's computers with normal malware. There are billions of credentials available for sale on the dark web. This particular set doesn't seem significant at all besides that anything with OpenAI gets extra clicks these days.

> borrowing to finance my spending is more tax-advantaged than selling stocks, since there is no realization of capital gains

This already told me all the short-sighted kind of stupid I needed to know. Author will need to make the gain one way or another to pay off the debt. Making it in their early years while being a student and in the probable lowest tax bracket of their life would actually be the tax-advantageous thing to do.

Moreover financial gains are usually (and shamefully) less taxed than income.

So, weird way to put it.

Maintaining your estate rather than liquidating in the hopes that your return beats the interest rate is a "why not" (and that's still dubious given that part of the debt is on credit cards that are probably several digits of interest). Putting it out as a clever tax play is idiotic.
Your critique narrowly misses the mark. Nothing has gone astray with capitalism. This is the market doing market shit.
That's my worry, too. I'm reminded of the history of Intel, which at its founding decided that it would not have a research org (drop the R from R&D) and just focus on scaling FETs, because the founders learned that trying to do both meant that one would ultimately suffer.

Off-topic: this is exactly the same reason that Google offers up ads for scams and ads containing or linking to malware on their own advertising network.

The only way to get to the size of these companies is to scale what can be scaled, and damn the rest until the pigeons come home to roost.

The one-dimensional things seems like it could make it complicated to measure the resistance. Especially since the bulk material that seems like people are making isn't being laid down in thin films where you might know which direction the conductivity might go. What if there are superconducting grains/domains that abut to each other, but the 1-D paths are then not aligned? Even if you knew that the "domains" were aligned with each other, but didn't know the orientation, it seems like you'd measure a drop-off in resistance, but not to zero at the critical temperature. Maybe?

I remember receiving similar advice (take student loans, invest in stocks) from my high school accounting teacher. If "call your parents and humbly beg for $25k" is a valid "plan of last resort", then it's a lot less risky.

A lot of people definitely should not try this. The levered gains quickly fall apart if you're not completely on top of deadlines for interest-free periods expiring and start owing 24.99%+ APY on five figure balances. If there's _any_ risk of that happening I'd stay the hell away from levered investments and reach for the automatic-monthly-credit-card-payments of Ramit Sethi's "I Will Teach You to be Rich".

Another risk is the hedonic treadmill -- if you're used to an elevated standard of living in your early 20s, it can be hard to get out of levered spending later in life. Probably would need to choose friends carefully, and budget meticulously.

But to the author's initial point -- I also do agree, in hindsight, that $25k of added consumption in my first years out of college would have materially made my life MUCH better -- a bit more travel/meals with friends that I "responsibly" chose to miss out on is not time that I will ever get back.

I think you're missing the point: this isn't a mishap that has anything to do with OpenAI. If you are a company that has usernames and passwords, then your login information is for sale because your customers have malware on their computers. OpenAI didn't do anything wrong here besides have a ton of users, many of which had malware on their computers.

From the article:

> However, the ChatGPT parent company clarified the compromised login credentials were not the result of any OpenAI data breach. Instead, they were the by-product of commodity malware-based log harvesting.
> nobody sane picks Google for anything they need to rely on..

In the case of GCP this is untrue.

This is the reason for most deployments. They are MS shops so the go with the MS Cloud.

I use custom elements directly in a bunch of stuff I had roll and I find the composition and reuse advantage nice. I tend to not bother with template elements, they don’t help much. I also don’t bother with shadow dom or element styles, as again, until you are making a mess with a distributed team you don’t actually have css problems. css also got a lot better at not causing problems, with fancier selectors and less problematic layout models.

People say they’re slow, but things I’ve hand rolled this way, while none are super complex, I can make thousands of elements and not put a dent in any metrics or lighthouse runs. I tend to bind stuff I’m going to manipulate in the child tree to variables in the constructor, so I never really have the cost of constant lookups, which maybe amortizes well once you’re looking at whole program performance.

Have you considered people who work a job because they are forced to by market forces, or court orders?

It's disingenuous to assume we all have a choice of where to direct our labor. If that were true, nobody would work for bad employers. Humans are exploitative of one another and society is where we formalize it.

he is emphatically not a disinterested or neutral party here. his relationship with Americans for Safe Aerospace is disclosed at the bottom of the article, but his shared affiliation with 2 of the 3 witnesses at the Congressional hearing is not.

Lead holders are quite common if you venture into an art supply store. I prefer them to normal pencils because you have the full length pencil even when the lead is tiny.

These ones look very nice though.
I don't think the distinction between "physical limitation" vs "humans with agency" is quite as clear-cut as you think... After all, if one wanted my 9V batteries to be always clearly measurable they could make thicker electrodes and thinner electrolyte. Instead, the humans which designed batteries configured them to prioritized high capacity and low cost, "deliberately" making multimeters inaccurate.

Or for a more extreme example: Apple chargers prominently say "20V" on them.. and yet if you get one and hook up a multimeter to it, you will only measure 6 volts (see "Charger Startup Process" in [0] to see why, spoiler: it needs special enable pulse as a safety measure). Will you call this "a lie"? Can we say "multimeters aren't real" because Apple power supplies require special pulse? Can we say "humans have deliberately made it not work with multimeters"?

Instruments, be it traceroute or multimeters, have limitations; and users should know about them. Even if technology advances make tools less useful in some situations, there is no reason to disparage them.

Linux has the opposite problem of BSD.

Linux has a collaborative unified kernel and a fragmented distro and package manager ecosystem.

BSD has unified distros with userspace, package manager, and fragmented kernels NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS etc.

I would love to know what it would take to get unified a BSD kernel and singular base distro.

I like the idea of having a BSD type OS that is not ruled by an oligarchy or big industry like Linux appears to be.

Sadly a BSD desktop/laptop user experience has way too many gaps on modern hardware to be useable. Linux is an easy choice today and has most cutting edge features supported.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet." - Terry Pratchett

The fact that being poor is expensive is, in fact, the root cause of why it is so difficult to escape poverty.
> touting how special the software optimizations are for making this TSMC node's product so fast and efficient.

> My money is it's 90% TSMC that made Apple Silicon so much better than the Intel trash Apple was stuck with,

This comes across as quite bizarre, as though you believe Apple Silicon Macs are a combination of TSMC chips and Apple software, rather than Apple chips (manufactured by TSMC) with Apple software. Is it really that hard for you to believe that Apple could have come up with chip designs that are genuinely good even when fab process differences are not a factor?

How will running Linux instead of macOS shed any new light on how much credit for the hardware quality should go to TSMC rather than to Apple?
Eh, MS isn't great engineering IMHO. It's good enough but nowadays tends to have flaky edge cases.
> Groups with more negotiating power, like large hospital systems, are able to command higher rates than private practice physicians.

A thought: I wonder if this also mean that large hospitals will have doctors that earn more and somehow correlated with better care in certain cases? For example, In NYC I have found better care with Beth Israel and NYU Langone for Preventative and Diagnostic Health care than private practices.

I have *not* had experience for injury treatment/surgery at hospitals, but WSJ has reported extensively on wacky Hospital billing practices for such patients.
Cloudflare has tools to prevent too many form submits. You can specify which page, how many submits and so on.

I found out about this when I had a problem of somebody running a script of trying different credit cards over a two hour window.

Cloudflare is amazing at preventing all kinds of attacks. I love Cloudflare.
Have you actually priced out a custom home in the last 18 months? Tract homes in subdivisions are maybe 150-200 a foot but a 4/4 4000 sq. foot custom build is not being built for anywhere near $150 a foot. Plus there was likely a large amount of site work to be done as well.
I think the reason that the browser is so slow is that every time you mutate something, an attribute or add or remove an element, the browser rerenders immediately. And this is indeed slow AF. If you batched everything into a DocumentFragment or similar before attaching it to the DOM then it'd be fast. I don't know how you do that ergonomically though.
Your point is reductionary though.

But then the issue is the networking, not the school itself. And all the circus around school admissions is just that.

I doubt that if they were somehow forbidden to put their kids in the same school, Sarkozy's and Lagardère's kids would be total strangers and completely unlikely to "network". Just as there are cliques in all schools, even if their kids went to the same school as younger me, an immigrant, we would probably not have been friends, just like I was friends with kids whose "social level" was close to mine.
