I found this article pretty insightful. The big successful companies all focus on the marginal user, and everyone wants to ape FAANG. Wonder if that's the disconnect I see in some smaller SAAS based companies, aping companies who design for the marginal user which is *not* their bread and butter.

But if they are charged on green power, and in many countries now they are especially over night, then they are vastly better than ICE vehicles. The goal with electrical vehicles isn't right now they are obviously greener (they are) but the true potential only comes when the supply is green power too which is happening at an accelerating rate.

Plenty of those EV's will have been charged at home on Solar, people tend to do both.

I think the problem is there isn't a clear delineation between "traps" and "meaningful improvement."

Take Signal for example - early days they had a ton of success with a core group of users, in spite of a number of product warts. Ever since then, they've been making usability improvements to lower friction and appeal to more and more marginal users. Is that good or bad?

F2P, a new business model for music
The financial model underpinning the music industry is likely to be strained to the point of breaking in the not too distant future.

Music royalties are a zero sum game, that the business model they have become reliant on is deep in stagnation, and that there is a massive shock incoming through AI assisted abundance of content; it is right to question the known truth that royalties are a dependable business model for music for the next 15 years.

We're launching an effort between JUICE, DNS.xyz, and BlockScience to try to bring a F2P model to music.

> It's a rather immutable law of biology that the most physically fit women can't meet the bar of fitness for military men

I honestly have no idea how this thought leads to the conclusion that we need to lower the physical standards for military services, rather than simply disallow any woman who can’t meet them from serving in a combat role. We shouldn’t relax the standards to make it easier for women to join, we should be holding women to the exact same standard as anyone else.

If an individual can’t sling a wounded soldier over their shoulder and carry him, why are we allowing these people to enlist at all, regardless of sex? You can’t start accepting blind people into combat roles just to meet diversity quotas. If you can’t meet the basic standards of sight, you can’t enlist. If you can’t meet the basic physical standards, you can’t enlist. That just makes sense.
> How doesn't paging worsen speed performance though?

It does worsen the performance of the attention kernel, if comparing to kernels which takes keys and values in continuous memory layout.

> Wouldn't the speed improvements be coming from that instead? Don't put an expected short input and output in the same batch as a big input and big output?

Actually it puts everything in the same batch. The reason for its high throughput is that sequences are removed from the batch as soon as it's finished, and new sequences can be added to the batch on-the-fly if there is enough space in KV cache. This is called continuous batching (https://www.anyscale.com/blog/continuous-batching-llm-infere...).

Paged attention and "virtualized" KV cache play an important role in an efficient implementation of continuous batching. Text generation in LLM is a dynamic process and it's not possible to predict how long the output is when scheduling incoming requests. Therefore a dynamic approach is needed for KV cache allocation, even though it hurts the performance of attention.

The upside of dating app bootstrapping is that it's an inherently local phenomenon. People want to meet people near them, which means you can gain traction one locale at a time. Maybe some kind of promotion where you cut deals with some local bars or restaurants to get some kind of discount / freebie if you match with someone (with the implication being that they'll use it for the date). Still takes capital, just not "nation-wide aggressive advertising push" levels of capital.
That’s quite rare. And you could just as well use ethanol and biodiesel for the same zero emissions result.

I've always wondered how quickly this effect would ruin the monoculture.

Suppose you're treating the engineered microbes like sourdough starter: Add them to nutrient solution, wait for desired effect, take a small sample, add to next batch.

You'd expect a selective pressure away from the engineered outcome, such that after X batches, your samples are overrun by wild-ish type mutants. But is that a merely academic concern, something that might happen after 500 batches, or are you out of luck by batch three?

> Apple has been top of the industry in terms of length of OS/software support for their devices.

For phones and tablets, sure. For desktops/laptops, Linux outdoes them handily. My mid-2012 MacBook Pro can run Catalina at the latest, which has been outdated for several years and unsupported since last year. But I can still install a current Linux distro on a machine of that era just fine.
#3 is pretty orthogonal.

There's a reason abstracts exist, and they usually provide enough information as to whether the paper discovered any significant findings, so whether it's worth reading at all.

If you are #1, #2 and in #2 you include reading not just the paper but the meta-analysis papers of the field, that already puts you ahead of 95% of the general public.

Not even scientists themselves are full #3 people. It's just impossible, considering the amount of work that exists in the field, and considering that most studies just confirm existing findings from 10-20-50 years ago.
How much safer are newer cars than older cars? Only real comparison I have seen is that video of an old 50s car vs a 2000s car crashing head on. Sure cars from the 50s are not gonna a be great... but how old of a car would you not buy?
For "impregnate", yes. I included it because I included it for "wake up", which is otherwise ambiguous, but I guess I didn't need to. Especially because it would make sense linguistically (from a certain angle) to say an organism which reproduces asexually "knocks itself up".
It packs lot of power, likely enough to replace MacBook, except you can't really do anything other than what Apple thinks you should do with the device. It's far more constrained system than MacBook.

iPad is more or less same, except it lets you extend to a screen (not just mirror with wrong aspect-ratio), but the window management and everything else is still shit.

Neither of those devices adapt to keyboard/mouse yet, and primarily touch only. It does makes sense that they are touch only, but "its powerful" argument becomes less and less useful every release. It may mean different to someone else who plays games, or benefits from Machine Learning things that the phone can perform more each release just because of added power.
I think the theory is that cards go out of spec and start connecting less reliably. I replaced a friend’s WiFi card the other day when they were about to throw the laptop out because connectivity was poor (Windows, and it wasn’t a driver issue). Obviously you also need a reliable access-point (that’s a much more difficult topic to address!). And don’t forget some secondary means to connect to laptop to the internet or you can’t download the driver!

Rawls's original position and the veil-of-ignorance he uses to support it has a major weakness: it's a time-slice theory. Your whole argument rests on it. You're talking about the "existing population" at some particular moment in time.

Here I am replying to you 3 hours later. In the mean time, close to 20,000 people have died around the world [1]. Thousands more have been born. So if we're to move outside the realm of academics, as you put it, we force ourselves to contend with the fact that there is no "existing population" to maximize happiness for. The population is perhaps better thought of as a river of people, always flowing out to sea.

The Repugnant Conclusion is relevant, perhaps now more than at any time in the past, because we've begun to grasp -- scientifically, if not politically -- the finitude of earth's resources.

Turns out the world of tech is just like fashion: I was working on a platform engineering team in 2006!

It really is just slapping a fancy label on the very obvious concept of working out what the common problems are that your software engineers are having to solve that aren’t about the unique value of the system they’re building, and then solving them once, for everybody, in a coherent and managed way.

Pretty obvious and non controversial in my opinion, no SRE’s or devops engineers need to be sacrificed in its name.
I think it's unnecessarily unkind to Marl.

The reality is, your core user base is always your easy-to-get captive market that intrinsically want what you do. A corollary of that is that gradient towards more users is always going to be eating into people more at the fringe or even totally outside the core intent of your product or service. So intrinsically, optimising for them is very unlikely to be optimising for your core users.

We can believe a fairy tale where we tell ourselves that we can optimise for new users while still maintaining equal service for existing users, but it's really just a fairy tale - invariably these things end up in competition with each other.

Its non sensical. Not minor. Electrostatics exists without science. The point is science is a tool for learning the truth, not the cause, nor the phenomena itself. It would make more sense to say “nature is cool.”

The typical Old School Unix way to do this is to provide all of your application's functionality and business logic through a command line app or at least an API, with the UI being a thin layer on top of the command line.

We've fallen from the light and now the prevailing design is to deeply integrate the business logic with the UI to the point where they are codependent and inseparable.
