Those two definitions could work only in a special context and wouldn't be adopted as a widely known word. Cory's definition, though, can work so, because it is a coined term for an important sociological phenomenon.

About including the essence of meaning into the word, I would propose 'entrapment'. But "enshittification" seems to be a special choice for conveying derogation and evoking attention to the discussion - so called dysphemistic and emphatic swearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity#Types), and this goal might be more important for the author than that of making the word's meaning obvious from word itself. If 'enshittification' catches on, it will be able to be considered as worthy of attention anyway, and one won't need to use word's lexical clarity to judge its importance.
Don't know anything formal in this field but this is a really great explainer. It's worth mentioning that if devices are miscalibrated such that the distribution is not centered around ground truth, this approach breaks down. Maybe there are more sophisticated ways to solve this that work well with the approach described. Not sure, but curious.
I understand it the way it's written. I don't know what you're looking for here; jcrites is not staying that { HTML, CSS, JS } are prerequisites to REST. They're giving examples of standard media types. If there are other media types for which it is possible to do REST, then those are acceptable, too, of course. But HTML is not a requirement.

I assumed something similar about a far smaller amount of debt, then I got laid off. The market has been brutal. Although I’ve been finding awesome consulting work, I haven’t come close to finding something stable with the income I’m accustomed to.

I felt pretty stupid (well, I still do), but I was dealing with a fraction of this debt, in Canuckian tokens no less.

Shrugging at 25k USD of debt and calling it a few months of work seems out of touch given the state of the global economy. I feel like 1.8% better about myself now.
So why do you think Oculus is capped at gamer market size? What about the AVP is something Meta can't replicate in a generation or two? Considering the install base, I would think Meta will be able to keep their app store stocked as well.

Are you just saying that Meta has the wrong focus or do you think Apple has a moat?

It's having these suspected dirty probes that they haven't investigated yet which is in particular what I'm talking about though. Since they made no particular experimental or theoretical breakthrough here, I just would have thought they would want to be meticulous about confirming an unexpected result. As you say, the point is to show their experimental capabilities.

> I don't think that being wrong looks bad. There are a lot of understandable ways to be wrong, and it's not like any of these labs are being dishonest about their level of confidence (you can't really be "wrong" if you're not overcommitted to a stance).

I'm not in the field, but I would have thought it would look pretty bad if they were wrong and their experiment had obvious sloppy practices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion apparently that sunk a few reputations.

I completely understand a private rush to replicate for the purpose of building on it and making new discoveries, but just to put rush out a confirm paper? I suspect it's less about demonstrating actual efficiency and ability and more about the paper mill.

I should probably be fired for my prior answer because things like pn-junction diodes can definitely have an exponential-like dependence on temperature.

In my head I was thinking of pure elements, like bulk metals. But there definitely could be more interesting things going on in the sample, like diode formation (internally or at the contacts) or weird doping profiles. That may be part of why it's hard to measure the properties!

There's a reason the Mac Mini went longer than the Pro without an update. Compared to the Studio, the Pro has dual 10Gb Ethernet, SATA and PCIe Gen 4, and a rack-mounted chassis option. For certain classes of enterprise workloads, that makes a difference. Think VFX, post production, sound stages and recording that can't use the Studio for lack of PCIe expansion slots for industry-related hardware (HDX/DSP).

I had the same thought as you at first, and many people speculated they’d shutter ChatGPT in favor of the API being served to others. But while anyone can sell an API, making a consumer product people want is just too rare to give it up. It’s better to learn how to service consumers and satisfy the demand.

Everyone was quick to point out that the API costs of a chatGPT clone were a fraction of the cost of ChatGPT+. So why would they focus on research and API development? I worry that they were so successful with this LLM that they’ll forget to keep researching other stuff.

Exactly. Meta always shows a preview because as you said their focus is user consumption - their vision is completely dependent on how the public vision forms around their idea. Beyond their core idea I think they observe usage and then figure out how to best exploit that. We’re seeing it now with threads- they’ve basically piloted it and have tons of data to guide their path to profitability.
It seems they’re figuring out how to do this with hardware - by giving public previews they can gather all feedback.

Tldr when your goal is to exploit peoples time you are reactive more than innovative, less secrets other than understanding human nature. When the goal like apple is to create the sleekest highest status product, it must be original and based on more objective standards (like aesthetics)

Can you access logs of the chat over the API? I assume it’s just news because it’s a popular business (and everyone was using the API to recreate chatgpt so there were a million projects that could be exploited).
They said that 0.3 degrees of warming is currently hidden from the data by the way cities air haze clouds reflect sunlight to space. When the city haze is cleared up we'll get that 0.3. But this obviously implies that if things get really bad, we can simply invest a relatively small expense popping smoke at spaced intervals over a lot of ocean and cancel a degree or two's worth of warming that way while while decarbonizing. I was hyped for the apocalypse but it's yet another nothing burger.
> When I lose, I lose more than I win.

I don't see how this is true. Winning adds 0.5x of your current bankroll. Losing subtracts 0.4x of your current bankroll. When you win, you win more than you lose. The gamble has positive expected value.
In this particular case I’d be less cynical as even laypersons are anxious to know what’s the result. So it’s natural that scientists that have the lab equipment are rushing to replicate or falsify the results.

VR being a niche in itself, I don't see absolute sales number for headset to be a failure (if you excuse the Mac Pro for being niche, any of the Meta headsets are probably a blasing success. Makes me wonder how many trash can were sold during these years)

Through that lens, I don't see Meta has having slacked and failed to capture the market when they're definitely the leader and pushed it a decent amount forward.

The comparison point could be HTC, who's also continuing pushing the envellope but can't touch Meta in terms of scale and price point.
Can you clarify? I think you might be mistaken, since a gamble with payoffs of 150% and 60% has positive expected value.

I could see myself writing a similar blog post 2 years ago, omitting the fact that 60& of my net worth was invested in 3x leveraged ETFs.

No matter how many articles I read about leveraged ETF decay, I couldn't bring myself to believe it until I actually experienced it. "Why tbe hell would I buy SPY when I can buy SPXL and UPRO?????"

Luckily, I was never really borrowing or investing (gambling) more than I could afford to lose. And luckily I HODL'd long enough to regain (nearly) the original investment.

I'm supportive of people who want take these kinds of risks (they can pay off), as long as they take these risks with a solid understanding of what will happen if shit suddenly hits the fan without notice.

I have a very high risk tolerance. Sounds like the author does, too. High risk tolerances are fine as long as you're comfortable with the worst case scenario and not convincing yourself that the worst case will never happen. It eventually will, in time.

This is so reminiscent of what happened after Fleischmann & Pons. Labs attempting to replicate saw this property, or that property, but never the whole, unequivocal picture.

Here we have a room temperature superconductor that isn't a superconductor at room temperature. A sample that has no measured Meissner Effect at any temperature. And the authors admit that some (many?) of the samples tested out as semiconductors.

Also, they don't happen to mention how they measured resistance. 1mA current, yes, but what equipment? And what setup? Micro-measurement of resistance is hard. We really need to know more about that.

I've always wondered why this notion is so popular (is it just because of what react does)? Wouldn't the native browser be expected to handle a DOM re-render much more efficiently than an entire managed JS framework running on the native browser and emulating the DOM? Maybe in 2013 browsers really really sucked at re-renders, but I have to wonder if the myriads of WebKit, Blink, Gecko developers are so inept at their jobs that a managed framework can somehow figure out what to re-render better than the native browser can.

And yes, I understand that when you program using one of these frameworks your explicitly pointing out what pieces of state will change and when, but in my professional experience, people just code whatever works and don't pay much attention to that. In the naive case, I feel like the browser would probably beat react or any other framework on re-renders every time. In the naive case where developers don't really disambiguate what state changes like they're supposed to. Are there any benchmarks or recent blogs/tech articles that dive into this?
It's kind of vague about how these malware work. Are they keylogging (recording keystrokes as you type the password)?
There are industry experts who know the technical answers to your question and lawyers who know the legal ones, why should I have to come up with it myself?
> Take DRM away, and creators will just stop releasing things digitally.

Is that guaranteed?

Album sales rarely made money for musicians; they made their money from live performances and merchandise. Plenty of musicians have released their music online as MP3s to drive folks to their concerts.

And long before DRM, we used to record things off the radio.

It's easier than ever to share music but instead people pay monthly subscription fees to streaming services.

Folks will pay for convenience. A lot of "piracy" was driven by an inability to get something _at all_ or only at an absurd price. And despite the protestations of the music and movie industries (both with long records of screwing over the artists), it's unlikely that "piracy" cause much financial loss.
The labels on the defect bin were things like scratched, rough, curved, stuck together, and uneven coating.

If you start with $1000, lose 40% ($400), and then gain 50% ($300 on a $600 stake), you end up with $900. If you first gain 50% ($500 on a $1000 stake), and then lose 40% ($600 on a $1500 stake), you again end up at $900.

You need to gain 67% ($400 on $600 or $667 on $1000) to break even before or after a 40% loss. The math is 1/(1-0.4)-1=0.67 or (1-0.4)*(1+0.67)=1.
Noob Thought on why OpenAI collaborated with MS:

1. I have found ChatGPT is very good at parroting back decent quality from learning from structured data. For example, learning reasonable code completions as well as answering technical questions. I find ChatGPT very good resource to have inside VSCode instead of switching to google. 6-7/10 I will accept GPTs output in Copilot.

2. My guess is that Microsoft's pretty chunk of profit is from selling Developer software(or so it is trying to do).

Put 1 + 2 together and you have a pretty compelling product play.
I'm not sure if this is intimidating. A draft implementation could be done without too much difficulty:
