I asked gpt your question:

> Achieving PMF is just one stage of a startup's journey. Once PMF is achieved, the company still needs to scale, navigate competition, manage its finances well, adapt to changing market conditions, etc. Mistakes in any of these areas could lead to failure even with a strong PMF.

> For example, one of the first successful smartwatches, Pebble had a great product-market fit with a passionate user base. Yet, they struggled against larger competitors like Apple and Fitbit and eventually had to sell their IP and shut down.
To me that theory sounds plausible, and even better, testable: we'll know soon if that's how it plays.

The comparison made by author and which I'm trying to defend against a pitchfork mob, is between PyUSD and the PayPal "dollars" we've all known and loved since Elon Musk had a receding hairline. And I think the author makes a very convincing case that PyUSD is a strict improvement on the status quo.

So maybe it can get better still, and maybe it will, and maybe FedNow will accomplish that. But better today is better today. I'm only arguing that going after a couple of companies and some regulators that have improved the status quo shouldn't get their teeth kicked in because of what database technology is used in the technical implementation.

This is a problem but only if you install software on Linux by manually going to the project page and copy-pasting whatever curl they have there, I think the difference is that mostly you're encouraged to go the package manager route, whereas on windows downloading .exes directly (ala the curl example) is the norm.

There's a simple (and much older) alternative: deliver ads relevant to the content being seen, instead of tracking the user. If the user is reading a page about cars, deliver ads about cars (and car parts, and car insurance, etc). If the user is reading a page about My Little Pony, deliver ads about plushies. And so on.
Oh, right, yes I interpreted it the other way. Sorry but too late to edit or delete my comment..
Damn right it's a cry for help. I am exhausted debugging distributed systems with crap homemade tooling when I could be writing code.

I don't want to defend this in any way, but in my mind it plays out like this: You have a SNES and a dozen cartridges and so it's the same, as you only have one console.

On the other hand, multiple Game Boy consoles in the same household were more common.

So yeah, it should be better now that the physical limitation is broken. You have several games and should be able to play them at the same time.
From what I've seen in the generated tracks so far (this one and others), they're pretty good locally, but just ignore the overall composition. For example any generated blues tracks will have the vague blues feel, but won't keep the 12 bar style. The bluegrass example here doesn't even seem to keep to 4/4 (or is extremely fluid about it...). Maybe one day someone will add a higher level "what's the current section, how far are you into it" inputs to that model to get something better - literally preparing the structure first and then filling it in. That should get much better results for context like "you're playing blues in A with quick change and generating bars 3-4, match the previous bars in style".

I mean, chatgpt knows how to plan this out https://chat.openai.com/share/976077c0-138b-4363-8065-3c8eed... Painting in that picture should be much easier than generating something freeflowing. Generating a good structure isn't that hard for most styles, because you can literally use the same pattern and do a few random changes that keep the key. (See lots of pop songs using the same 3/4 chord progression)
I think it was just the genre that was the least represented in the training data
It's called MSI, and it's been in Windows for 20 years.

The issue is that MSI is very buggy when handling explorer extensions. If you're not careful, when you uninstall it'll prompt you to close explorer.

(I know because I shipped a product that installed via MSI and had an explorer plugin. The installer issues were more complicated than the plugin.)

In this case, the issue is that when explorer loads a plugin, it keeps an open file handle to the dll. This gives the installer two options: Restart explorer.exe, or somehow finish uninstalling when explorer.exe terminates.

The product that I shipped just restarted explorer.exe.
I didn't see mention of quantization. I think the point is how few parameters were needed for the performance results they were able to achieve.

Honestly, clothing is the smallest item on my packing list. Camera gear and shoes are the biggest items. My clothes alone would fit in a tiny backpack. Underwear takes a bit of space, but I wouldn’t fancy wearing rented underwear.

But then maybe I’m atypical, because, when I look around at airports, it seems to me 90% of people there are moving permanently overseas, judging from the size of their luggage.
I predicted that AI will be the next Web3 — hugely promising but increasingly ignored by HN.

There will be waves of innovation in the coming years. Web3 solutions will mostly enrich people or at worst be zero-sum. While AI solutions will redistribute wealth from the working class to the top 1% and corporations, as well as giving people ways to take advantage of vulnerable people and systems at a scale never seen before.

That's a matter of UX. Again, the point is that now you can turn it off. This was not possible before, full stop. That's what I mean by it being a step in the right direction: it finally gives you central authority on what sites know about you.

> They definitely consider future implications of their rulings

Appeals courts, especially the Supreme Court, areaware of the orecdential effect of their rulings, and write with an eye toward providing a rule (or specifically to avoid it), but this is a trial court, and perhaps more to the point, this is a consent judgement—a settlement by the parties that the judge signs off on.Settlements don’t deal with anything beyond resolving the immediateissues between the parties.
Hm. Ok but why is that the right takeaway?
Get a PhD then.

Getting a PhD is all about learning how to do something nobody has ever done before which in turn is about choosing a problem which is difficult but possible and cutting it up into bits and getting it done.

I got a PhD long ago and it has influenced how I go about my side projects, that is, I am pretty good at picking and solving problems that I can really get done but result in a demo that leave people thinking "I've never seen anything like that before." That, plus my heuristic of usually having three side projects going on at any time and making real progress on two of them.

Unity Can Get Fucked
> Running a migrations on a server is far, far different to running it on every users' device. The sheer scale of it is different.

Well, it’s not only just that. Among the other things, some of the application instances would be outdated but still need to work, so you would need to support _all_ the DB schemes you have ever had for your app.
serious question: for pages like OF, spotify, YouTube, what deincentivizes creators from amassing fake subs/followers? Sub count actually matters when getting new subs so (ie: most people are more likely to sub to 1m Youtube subs than 1k subs) wouldnt all creators then seek out fake profiles services when theyre getting started?
Why Fennel?
Or just run `sudo spctl --master-disable` one time; and it will change the allowed app sources to the invisible "Anywhere" option.

I still long for the approach many software used on the AmigaOS - the app is a folder, the folder has the main exec and any assets it needs (libraries, images, etc.) and documentation and... That's it.

Install? Copy the directory to where you like.
Uninstall? Delete the directory.

And if you wish you could keep any files used/generated with such an app in the same folder, making it 100% self-contained.

I remember being rather grossed out when I learnt Windows has "a registry" (that was a long time ago). "Why would you have a global registry? Whatever preferences a piece of software has they should live where the exe is".

(and yes, I am aware AmigaOS had an installer and dir structure not that unlike of Unix, with `sys:`, `devs:` and so on)
HN supports older and weaker ciphers [1] thus the score capped at "B" so not likely a cipher issue.

HN's cert was updated on Sun, 27 Aug 2023 00:00:00 UTC so more likely the case is that your certificate store is out of date. I suspect you will need to find a way to manually update the CA root certificate store on your device for this site and many others to be reachable, probably somewhere on Blackberry's document site [2] or maybe this forum has solved this issue [3] or a Reddit Blackberry community perhaps.

The risk of only updating the CA root store is that you will not get security patches for the OS and updated versions of your web browser that include security fixes. An ideal solution would be to find an open source OS that will run on the device but I have no idea if such a thing exists for that model.

Steam: Is kinda reasonable with keeping me logged in ON MY OWN DAMN HARDWARE.

Ubisoft Connect: Hi, it's you. You seem to have a different IP after your ISP's 24h disconnect. PLEASE LOG IN to play this single player game.

But then you have companies like Square Enix where their website process to buy a game was so convoluted that people went to Steam just because it was 5 clicks and not 50.

The cost of a fab for each new process node is roughly double the cost of the previous node.

That’s not true for cars. In fact, starting a new car company is probably cheaper than a few decades ago, since most part manufacturing has been outsourced.
It’s the problem with this whole Unity crisis. Every other engine out there is… small.

And Unity knows this. It’s so fucking slimy and malicious.

But at the end of the day the real money maker, the one they could charge a premium to, was going to be the DoD. And he's pissing all over them.
> You're arguing against a straw man.

i'm struggling to balance examples which are unambiguously acts of harm but which everyone does against examples which carry moral weight. i probably got a bit too clever trying to go for both.

what i'm more specifically worried about is how the author's viewpoint plays out in the world where we don't all agree on the moral code. half my country has conflicting moral views around drug use and abortion and sex reassignment. a world where i'm punished so that you can enjoy a richer life is one i can at least understand (that's just the tradeoff between positive and negative rights). but a world where i'm punished for no benefit to anyone is exactly that world in which i risk my livelihood every time i want to unwind after a stressful week of work with a record and a joint in the privacy of my own bathtub. but that's the world Caplan's advocating for when he separates punishment from things like "deterrence".
Someone who chooses not to do something over a 0.000000001% risk is either irrationally bad at math and statistics or needs to get some help with their anxiety. Experts would call things with a 0.000000001% risk "extremely safe" because in comparison to other daily risks inherent to existing as a human, that number is much much lower.

The risk of dying in a car in the US is 12,890,000 times higher.

Advanced code generation, the kind you would need for something like AutoGPT or other agent-like system, is definitely reasoning and GPT-4 or Claude 2 will dominate.

3 kinds of "dollars", actually:

1. the old school accounts we all know.
2. the PayPalUSD which, as this article explains, is saver and runs on the ETH blockchain. Moreover, it appears to be trading at 0.99 cents to the dollar. That is an arbitrage opportunity right there.
3. The saving account with 0.85 APY and a federal covering of $250000.

> It would be illegal for PayPal to back its new crypto-based dollars with the assets listed above, yet for some reason it is fine if it backs its traditional dollars with them.

> The second drawback of PayPal's regular dollars is that the assets underlying them don't really "belong" to customers in any strong sense of the word. They belong to PayPal.

> To translate, the assets underlying your $1000 in PayPal USD cryptodollars are not PayPal's assets. Nor are they Paxos's. They are yours. No need to squabble with competing vultures for what's left.

> But oddly, PayPal is under no legal obligation to extend these very sensible protections to all of its regular PayPal dollars.

> the third type is insured by the government up to $250,000. PayPal Savings dollars also pay interest, whereas the first two don't, or are prohibited from doing so. PayPal offers this product in conjunction with a bank, Synchrony Bank, which means this third type of PayPal dollar conforms to an entirely different set or rules than the other two: Federal banking law.
> the premium money

It's not really obvious to me that's true. Ad infested shovelware is where Unity makes most of its money from and that market is probably much easier for them to monetize than AAA (I don't think Unreal is really making that much from their engine business to be fair, it's just that they have Fortnite and way less bloat(employees) than Unity so they don't have to push that aggressively with their pricing.
