> Emacs didn't kill word or Wang or WordPerfect.

Not sure how to respond to that. Emacs is around, the latter two I believe not, but approximately nobody is using them anyway. And I say that as someone who lives in Emacs.

> OS vendors still make money despite Linux and FreeBSD.

Apple makes money on hardware. Microsoft makes money on cloud, and has been desperately trying to turn Windows into a subscription service for a while now. They even non-humorously said exactly this in some message in (IIRC) installer or update screen - I remember Windows 10 telling me "Windows is a service" as if that was a good thing.

> The GIMP didn't kill Adobe.

No, but again, GIMP and Krita are used by approximately no one, meanwhile Adobe switched to a quite abusive subscription model.

> And if you want to sell proprietary libraries your market is going to be limited because OSs will distribute them and it will be hard to keep up when customers are fixing their own problems.

I don't see how. Think about the 100 (or 10 000, if you're doing webdev) dependencies your product uses. Most of those could be a licensed product, creating a cottage industry of small vendors making a living from developing specialized libraries. This thing is real in some areas, e.g. industrial software, where there are e.g. protocols that are too complex and boring for Open Source community to care about supporting in full. But it's something impossible in general, because popularity of open source simply prevents this kind of market from forming.

Now, to be clear: I don't have a strong opinion on whether this is good or bad. Still trying to fully understand that one. But what I know for sure is that open source is a huge disruption to how the market would've worked otherwise.

> What killed the shrink-wrapped market was first piracy

I'm not convinced about that. Maybe video games had a problem, but money in software in general was in B2B, not B2C, and there the piracy was effectively mitigated by the legal system. In fact, both Microsoft and Adobe used piracy as opportunity because of that - kids would grow up using pirated copies of professional software, and then as adults, their companies and their employers would have to buy the properly licensed versions of that same software, because that's the only thing anyone has experience in using.

> The SAAS model also has the benefit of aligning value delivery with outlays temporally. No more wait a year before shipping: instead get quick iteration with an ongoing revenue stream. You can recover from missteps in a way that the old model could not.

SaaS has some benefits, but they tend to be single-sided, unless the customer and the vendor are comparable in power, which usually isn't the case. So while e.g. IBM or Microsoft can force Google or Adobe to behave, my small business will be taken advantage of by large SaaS vendors.
Zstd no longer comes with a patent grant which I guess makes it kind of hard to actually use for some people.
Great story.

That aside, I wish we would stop using the word(s) ____preneur. It creates a false god.

In most cases, these are businesses one hit-by-a-bus event away from being nothing at all. Aside from the drop in revenue, customers who rely on the product/service gets screwed. That's not very 'preneur-y. Finally, the business are also the person and the person the business. That is, no exit.

Entrepreneurs scale and the means revenue *and* team, because sustainablity matters. And all along if they're not building for exit, they keep it a mind. Being exit'able is a measure of how successful the venture is.

Again. Great story. I'm inspired. I simply don't want to be a solopreneur, dadpreneur, mompreneur, etc.

Your link is interesting, but I don't like your take on somehow this argument between behaviorism and Chomsky being solved and the former being now "ridiculous looking back". This is just the dance of theories, and as a matter of fact, Chomsky has lately started to look like he is quite wrong assessing that a genetic component is required for language acquisition.

https://lingbuzz.net/lingbuzz/007180
Agreed. I would love to have something with the FLOPs of a 3070/4060 and 80 gigs of even slower VRAM (not necessarily HBM/GDDR6x) that can run the XXB models.
This is the key sentence from the underlying letter:

Given its panpsychist commitments, until the theory as a whole — not just some hand-picked auxiliary components trivially shared by many others or already known to be true — is empirically testable, we feel that the pseudoscience label should indeed apply

It seems like a less confrontational label would be "philosophical".

Dismissing by implication a venerable and respectable philosophical theory like panpsychism with such terms gives the impression of arrogant scientism which undermines any criticism that might be useful.
More than decade ago, in 2011, my father had Galaxy S2 and I had Galaxy Nexus. Hardware-wise, they were comparable (Galaxy Nexus was something like Galaxy S2.1), but the former run TouchWiz and the latter vanilla Android. The latter was much more snappy, the former's performance did degrade.

Now fast-forward almost a decode. I'm using Galaxy S10 since its introduction in 2019. TouchWiz is nowhere to be found. Samsung uses OneUI nowadays, which is actually pretty cool, and I prefer it to vanilla Android. Basically, I have as good experience with it, as you described.

The age of the grift shift
I think it's really important to separate and discern "light" and "darkness" in your mind and actions, word and deed.

I think mental health, negative thoughts is driven by your understanding of truth

If you think the truth is dark then you are looking at darkness and attributing it to truth or the light, which is a mistaken identity. Calling light (the truth) the darkness is an error. Calling darkness the truth is an error. I believe the truth is good. You should pick the right "duality" as your foundational truth, since it's your foundations of whether or not you're in darkness or light.

If it's not good, it's not true reality but a manifestation of darkness. Don't look at darkness and call it the truth. Truth is light, truth is a good thing. Separate the light from the darkness. Bad things going on is a manifestation of darkness, not the truth of what is the foundation nature of everything (which I think is light, good). Ground yourself in light, for that's what the universe is powered by. (Why would you pick the worse option if light is the truth why would you pick otherwise?)

For people who believe in a God of love and arbiter of what is true, the truth is light and positive.

The mechanism of the universe, love, kindness, compassion, mercy, grace, gravity, words, law, legality, mathematics, quantum effects, physics, the mysteries and who decides upon their workings.

Good vs Evil. Light vs darkness. True vs False

It's like being blamed for something you didn't do. Truth cannot be sullied by darkness.

If you keep "the truth is good" as your hope and faith = "light/good is what is is and are", then the darkness cannot touch you.
Looks good, but takes some time to get used to
I read that as "Tolkien ring" - which would also be appropriate, since "...and in the darkness bind them" is a good summary of cloud vendor lock-in.
Hmm...Swift never struck me as a particularly interoperable design. Really rather the opposite. It has weird and super-specific calling conventions, requires mangled identifiers, is uber-static, uses Swift syntax for its "module" files etc.

And it turns out...

"Instead, Swift embeds a copy of clang, the C and C++ compiler,"

...well gosh, you can brute force "interoperability" by simply creating the union of all the languages you "interoperate" with.

It's almost as if those big cloud providers want to prevent a transition to IPv6 as relying on IPv4 will solidify their oligopoly.

Any new competitor would have to cough up a huge upfront cost for IPv4 addresses, if they could even get them at that scale.
It's in the next paragraph:

Limited Remedy. If Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer, breaches its limited warranty, it will, at its election, either: (i) repair or replace the software at no charge, or (ii) accept return of the software (or at its election the device on which the software was preinstalled) for a refund of the amount paid, if any.

They were designed more or less independently from each other, and your statement that Zstandard predates Brotli is also wrong (both around 2015). They are both designed to be much more efficient than DEFLATE in both time and size axes, but otherwise have little similarities. Zstandard is notable in its use of ANS, while Brotli is probably the first mainstream format that prominently uses a 2nd-order context model which was previously thought to be too slow. And Brotli is designed for web contents in mind, which made it excellent for small inputs with no prior. Zstandard has no such treatments but have a better performance when I/O can handle it, which makes it excellent for server jobs.

> Unless people stop using IPv4, then AWS cannot sell those addresses. There is no incentive for the addresses to increase in value.

But if people stop using IPv4, the asset (billions of dollars by some accounts) becomes worthless... AWS are passing on the cost for public IPv4 addresses now, so there's even less incentive.

Sliding Sync is just your old bouncer with lip service and a fancy name, because the Matrix protocol is now officially deemed hopeless to be implemented efficiently on the client side, hence the need for a proxy to maintain your "client state" i.e. your client running on the server.

I'm really tired of the litany of buzzwords and excuses that the Matrix team comes up to cover-up this large sunk cost fallacy of a protocol. Nobody needs a distributed graph database and state resolution to prop-up a chat system. It has not proven to have any real-world benefit nor served to build a niche in which Matrix is in any way better than the competition. It's been a failed experiment for about 10 years with no end in sight. At what point does the community wake up to all the nonsense?

Zstd is already used in the Linux kernel, and I would assume that any patents covering Lempel-Ziv and Huffman coding would have expired long ago. The situation around ANS also seems to have been resolved, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_numeral_systems#Tab... .
I was a summer student this summer, working right next to that exact building. Unfortunately we did not get to see the tape robot, we did get visits to the experiments though.

I can say from what I've seen that the amount of data they have to deal with is still the #1 problem. Before the multi layered filters they generate a petabyte of data per second.
It depends on whether one is referring to the date (see you July 4th) or the holiday (Can't wait for the 4th of July). Though I do think the date version might be becoming more common than the holiday version.

As for why the month comes first, I get the feeling we Americans care about precision up to a month and less so about the numerical day such as "When does school start?" with an answer of "School starts in September". Obviously people need the precise date if you actually have a student going, but in a lot of conversation, people are just looking for the month. I can imagine that being even more true in earlier times.

We also peg things to months such as our elections being the second Tuesday of November or Labor Day being the first Monday of September. Note that in those phrases we are putting the day kind of first, but not in a particular numerical way. The month is what sticks out as a rough guesstimate of the time period.

It's also worth considering their competitors. My experience in the UK system was that TIs were a rarity and most people used graphing calculators from Casio (if they felt the need for an upgrade from a scientific calculator at all), which were cheaper, lighter, widely available in any good stationery section, and appeared more feature-rich (better screens with intuitive menus, built-in SD card slots, and probably better processors). In particular some TIs I saw lacked graphical equation display, which would be a deal breaker, exotically when our existing £15 scientific calculators had made it a basic feature

There was no requirement from the schools or exam board to use a particular brand. In theory you could do everything you needed with a basic scientific calc like the ubiquitous FX-83GT (and many people did), and the only real rule was "no computer algebra systems" (I believe the TI-89 was given as an example of a disallowed calculator). In fact the teachers were somewhat discouraging of graphing calculators at all, saying you can get one if you feel the graphs help you, but you shouldn't need anything more than what you had in GCSE

I happily made the switch from Obj-C to Swift when it was announced, partly because Apple said they wanted to make it a true cross platform language.

No, we can't. Most of psychology deals with the stimuli and responses, which are empirically observable; if it's done properly, that's science.

Consciousness is problematic for science, because it's intrinsically private, and not observable. Each of us knows it's there, and can observe it; but we can't share our observations, and "science" depends on sharing observations.

Perhaps we need a new definition of "science", that can accomodate the private experience that each of us has, but can't share.
