Consumers will pay up to the value the product provides to them [1] and producers will sell down to the costs of producing the product. So why do we have economy? We have it in order to provide consumers with goods and services they need or desire as efficiently as possible, not to make producers rich. Profits are a mechanism to steer behavior in an economy, they are not the goal. So in general the price should always get pushed towards the costs of production, that is the role of competition. In case of scarcity the value attribute by different consumers will pull the price up in order to decide the allocation of the available products. [2] This should also encourage the creation of additional supply because the costs of production are below the price so there are profits to be made and the additional supply should then drive the price down further towards costs of production.

Long story short, the price should equal the costs of production, that is the goal. Any deviation from that just exists as a signaling mechanism to steer the system and decide the distribution.

[1] Actually up to the smaller of the value the product provides to them and the money they have available, see also [2].

[2] Note that the available products do not go to the consumers valuing the products the most, they go the consumers capable to pay the highest price. With enough money I could buy up all the heart surgeries because I like collecting them and deprive everyone else of heart surgeries even though they actually need them and value them much higher than me but just do not have the necessary money to outcompete me.
Twitter did that long before Elon. Most social platforms downrank external links and have for years. That’s why all media startups basically died over the past 6 years.

erm misconception.

Apple hasn’t released a dedicated chatbot but they use models heavily and in very targeted ways

all the iPhones have had a transformer co-processor for several generations, the neutral engine is primed for use with this current crop with just a little more dedicated ram to it

this is arguably better than the pick me chatbot thing

but Apple is also primed to disrupt all of that, they include a fine tuned model chatbot style client side on all their OS’ and that substantially shifts the battlefield, a smart client side siri that only optionally connects to a large cloud model? even better

an SDK for all the AI startups to leverage that instead of token price arbitraging with OpenAI api or other cloud providers like replicate? all hail the Apple supremacy
I purchased a samsung fold 5 with the hope of it being big enough to make a significant difference in how/what I use my cell phone (for).

While the bigger screen is indeed a step in the right direction, most of the shortcomings from smaller screens are still here. Text input, as described by this post is just as silly on a phablet like it is on an iphone. I even went as far, as purchasing a logitech mobile keyboard (with a tablet/phone slot) so that I can reply to something longer than a short sentence.

For me its obvious, that without a physical keyboard, the phone will remain a device to scroll up and down and will not replace a pc, no matter how big the screen is.

You didn't say which version of GPT you prefer it over. My experience of Claude hasn't been good at all - I get obvious hallucinations all the time. Whereas I get pretty consistent accurate results with GPT-4.

I just tried again now and asked it about HTMX and Django since I had just been reading an article about it. Claude invented a package called `htmx.django` and a decorator that could be imported called `@hx_request`. This is typical of my experience with Claude.
> The fact that so many countries have failed to meet their committed goal means they are being subsidized by those that have.

Nonsense. That's not how reality works. Countries like Luxembourg or Portugal aren't "subsidized" because they don't spend 2% of their GDP in dissuading Russia from invading other NATO members.

Also, military spending per GDP is set as a line in the sand. Germany doesn't meet the 2% mark but still is the second biggest supporter of Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion, which is the whole reason of existence of NATO.

> "Next, you plug it into a computer and have the computer use a RNG to determine how to shake it. Still copywritable. Lastly, you have an LLM generate a sequence of angles and velocities with which to shake the brush. No longer copywritable? Why?"

Consider an alternative image generation technique where the same computer is connected to a camera, and that video feed drives the brush strokes. Let's assume it imitates the Pollock style so well that if you place an image of a Pollock painting in front of the camera, the computer will produce what looks like a near-perfect painted replica of the original.

Clearly this technique would have a problem with copyright. Programming a computer to make copies doesn't absolve you of copyright.

In the eyes of the law currently, image diffusion models are seen as something closer to that hypothetical camera input that waves the brush, in the sense that the AI model has been trained directly on the works of specific artists and can recall stylistic aspects of their works on command.

Finally,5D Diamond painting during the holidays is the perfect way to add a bit of magic and fun to your holiday plans. Whether you're charmed by Santa and the polar bears, admiring the classic beauty of a wreath, or falling in love with a cake made from a reindeer, diamond painting is a great way to get into the holiday spirit one sparkly piece at a time.
It's quite difficult to handle double width characters and emojis reliably on all modern terminal emulators

First, the application and terminal must agree which Unicode characters are double width, as in take up two cells and move the cursor by two positions. Terminals vary at this.

Second, many emojis aren't single Unicode characters. Those are each a single emoji generated from certain sequences of combining characters with a base character. The application and terminal have to agree which sequences combine in this way, as well as how wide to display the resulting emoji. Terminals vary at both of these. Example: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3975

Third, IIRC some terminals treat emojis as moving the cursor by two positions because they use an approximately square space, some terminal do not and the emoji overlaps the next character.

Fourth the terminal might not be in UTF-8 mode so will treat the characters differently if it isn't.

> ” AWS will become Anthropic’s primary cloud provider”

How much of this becomes creative accounting?

AWS gets to reduce its profits by making this investment, which means they pay less taxes.

Then with AWS’ own money, they will get to recognize this as new AWS cloud revenue continuing their sales growth.

While all during which they also get an equate stake.

This seems like a creative way for AWS (and Microsoft with OpenAI) to artificially boost cloud revenues.
Time to reconsider :D
One of the most useless replies I’ve seen in my life
The one_for_one policy means that if a child process terminates, it will get restarted. It is appropriate when the child processes managed by the supervisor are (relatively) independent. The contrasting policy is one_for_all where a terminating child will also induce a restart of all the other children of the supervisor. This is appropriate when there's a number of important dependencies between the children processes, and you'd better just rebuild the whole subtree.

It is key to run the thought process of system failure. You need to understand what will happen if a certain part of your system errors out in an unforeseen way and make sure your restart policies are likely to right the ship.
Sorry to hear your dilemma. First thing I’d do is consult a tech lawyer.
If you find yourself in that situation, migrating to a more performant queuing solution is not that much of a leap. You already have an overall system architecture that scales well (async processing with a queue).

_Ideally_ the queuing technology is abstracted from the job-submitters/job-runners anyway. It's a bit more work if multiple services are just writing to the queue table directly.

I agree that the _moment_ the system comes to a screeching halt is definitely not fun.

That seems correct in theory but it is inconsistent between islands - I suspect it's to do with adminstrative levels differing between different nations.

e.g. With the first example - Isle of Man - you won't see the same happen with either Great Britain or Ireland, nor with smaller adjacent islands. The labels font-sizes & zoom behaviour are also very different between Northern Ireland and Ireland - the UK having countries within a country and adding an extra admin level in the hierarchy. Isle of Man being a crown dependency could be a factor I guess, or something similar.

Ultimately this seems fine to me though: representing areas locally for each locality is by definition inconsistent.

Yep, I agree. Long term the way to go is to encourage more no-till small scale local farming (A.k.a. the "Ridgdale" model) of vegetables and meat.

This won't feed the world, but at least in the less sparse and semi-fertile areas this would be doable.

This is just ludicrous, and needs to be corrected. The people I know starting companies (and succeeding) are hardly driven by money.
Works well for me. You just type with one hand without ever lifting your thumb. You do need to set the correct language, and if you mix languages, your phone's OS has to be able to deal with that, but at least on iOS that is the case and the prediction is very good. If the first choice isn't correct, usually the first or second displayed alternative is what I wanted.

There are two caveats, though. Firstly, I type differently when using swipe. As it favors words from the dictionary, my texts sound less spoken and more written. And secondly, having backspace delete the whole word is a critical feature to avoiding annoyance. If none of the predictions are correct, I just tap backspace and then type the word like I usually would. This, combined with the rarity of those hiccups makes swipe typing quicker than regular typing to me.

It also helps with relaxing my wrists as I can also hold the phone with one hand and swipe with the middle finger of my other in a gesture like holding a pen, but without the pen.

Maybe there's actually a third aspect; screen and hand size. I haven't owned any big phones, my iphone 13 mini is the biggest phone I ever owned, but I do have large hands, so swipe typing with a single thumb is not very difficult. Your experience might be different depending on your anatomy and device.

60g/l acetic acid ... that's literally just slightly strong household vinegar. (safety precautions, especially not breathing it in, are definitely advisable though, it's a fairly strong acid)
You pay more money but the experience is different. You can do many things in a train that you can't do in a car like:

- working

- having a meal (and by that I don't mean eating a sandwitch or crisps)

- have a conversation that involve eye contacts

- playing board/card games

- watching a movie

- reading

All of these activities are impossible for a car driver and would make most passenger feeling sick or spreading food everywhere in the car.

So it is not like an apple to apple comparison. The added cost is hardly justified for a short 1h30 drive, but the longer the trip the more it makes a difference.
Nit: closer to 1.5, the Shinkansen generally run at 300 or slightly below (the N700S series which started service in 2020 runs at 300 in Taiwan and on Sanyo Shinkansen, but 285 on Tokaido Shinkansen, and 260 on Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen, it does have a design speed of 360).

Japan currently has only one line rated above 300, and it’s Tohoku at 320 (and only until Morioka, though this is getting upgraded, and the line might get re-rated to 360 in its entirety once that’s done and if ALFA-X succeeds).

AFAIK the only production non-maglev trains designed for 400 are the Chinese CR400 (“fuxing”) and they’re currently operated at 350.

From the original study though, patients without myocarditis were found to have no such levels.

> A notable finding was that markedly elevated levels of full-length spike protein (33.9±22.4 pg/mL), unbound by antibodies, were detected in the plasma of individuals with postvaccine myocarditis, whereas no free spike was detected in asymptomatic vaccinated control subjects (unpaired t test; P<0.0001).

So what we have is a potential explanatory mechanism (namely, probably some biochemistry which means for whatever reason these people seem to release the protein rather then keep it cell bound - although correlation is not causation, the whole effect could work the other round).

Well actually there are alternatives, but then that would be more resource intensive, unlike the current lazy method of mono crop farming that capitalism does not reward.

In my personal opinion, we should fix this in the streaming market -- basically force media producers to be blind as to the buyer (as with DVDs), if they sell at $X per unit, in order to maintain their copyright then $X is the sale price and any distributor can acquire a license to redistribute (for private use) a work at that price.

I've never seen a barrier hopper stopped, but I'm sure the bobbies would be sent in if thry announced everyone would be doing it.

There's also the problem of disconnected services - the purple line is Rail, so while they use the same stations, they can be on strike when the Underground isn't. So you could go through open barriers at a rail station but you'd find the barriers shut trying to leave from an Underground station.
One example is HTTP libraries.

For instance, take Mint (https://github.com/elixir-mint/mint):

> Mint is different from most Erlang and Elixir HTTP clients because it provides a process-less architecture.

Mint is a low-level library which doesn't make attempt to manage processes (including HTTP pooling).

In contrast, Finch (which builds on top of Mint) includes pool management:

https://github.com/elixir-mint/mint#connection-management-an...

It can take someone a bit off guard when they realise that the library they use provide a "default pool" they were not aware of, and that it can become a bottleneck etc.
