> Feel free to bite off more than you can chew and view it as a growth opportunity, but be aware that getting too much of your revenue from one client makes you their bitch. It's like all the downside of being an employee plus all the downside of running a business.

One mistake is charging the client with thinking that you will be able to service the contract yourself, but fee being not enough to hire a capable employee and have nice profit on top of that.

Rule of thumb - if the client doesn't want to pay you enough so that you can hire someone or even a small team, with everything that goes along - office space etc and you can't have a profit on top, then this is not really a client, but employer who wants an employee without having to be actually responsible for one. It's not a business relationship.

egress fees, inter-DC transfer fees, IP fees, ebs storage fees, transactional fees on things that are transactional. If you don't carefully engineer everything you'll get left with a $15,000 AWS bill. This doesn't cost Amazon anywhere near $15k to provide, so they just "waive" the fees if you promise to be a good little user.

If I had a human personal assistant, most (all?) the value to me would be doing physical errands. I'm not so busy or important that I'd need someone to manage my calendar or correspondence. Travel planning could be helpful, but I don't know if the "personal" aspect of it has that much incremental value over a centralized model...

Of course it's a tax on spending, because consumers have to pay it when they buy things.

Just defining it as 'a tax on added value' is meaningless. Why should we wish to tax value, which is something we all seek? To be sure, businesses often just mark up the price of things, and we can in turn tax the profits of the business same as individuals are taxed upon their income.
If they can make a 288 GB $4.4-6.8k prosumer, home-computer-friendly graphics card, I will be extremely happy. Might be a pipe dream (today at least, lol, and standard in like...what, 5 years?), but if they can pull that off, then I think things would really change a lot.

I don't care if it's slow, bottom-of-the-barrel GDDR6, or whatever, just being able to enter the high-end model finetuning & training regime for ML models on a budget _without_ dilly-dallying with multiple graphics cards (a monstrous pain-in-the-neck from a software, engineering, & experimentation perspective)_ would enable so much large-scale development work to happen.

The compute is extremely important, and in most day-to-day usecases, the memory bandwidth even moreso, but boy oh boy would I love to enter the world offered by a large unified card architecture.

(Basically, in my experience, parallelizing a model across multiple GPUs is like compiling from code to a binary -- technically you can 'edit' it, but it's like directly hex editing strings in a binary blob, extremely limited. Hence why I try to stick with models that take only a few seconds (minutes at most) to train on highly-representative tasks, distill first principles, and then expand and exploit that to other modalities from there).
Will this include the ability to compile apps for iOS without requiring Apple made hardware/software (that specifically must run on MacOS)? Have never understood why developers haven't kicked up more of a fuss over that restriction, but it's why I would never write iOS apps as a hobby.
Interesting, but I don't see how operating on the code model is going to be any easier than working on the AST. It seems much more hard to reason about many transformations as compared to manipulating the AST. I do hope they take inspiration from scala and rust macros

This is why experimentation tries to focus on a singular change at a time -- in short, you're right, and we can focus on iteration to iteration to tease out fully causal factors.

But you know that, based on randomized assignment (or at least representative assignment school by school) an impact that A versus B determines.

So you do know E(Y | do(X), Z) to a degree, at least partially.

Landing big contracts as a small company - it's not all bad. They can bring in a lot of revenue, for not that much sales effort. And if you have good processes down, they can also be much easier to deliver on. At least in the US, contract law can be very fair, financing options to facilitate large contracts are plentiful, and most large businesses act in good faith.

So it isn't so much landing a big contract is bad, but landing a big contract that you can't deliver on is very bad. Determining what you can and can't do, how much you need to invest into your internal processes and capabilities - that is the challenge of running a business.

Usually, in successful businesses I have worked at (or business units), I see a split. Ideally it would be 50-50 large contracts to small accounts, but usually realistically is is more like 60-40. Probably depends on the industry too.

Britain to build world’s most powerful laser
Yes. But this is trivializing the definition of monopoly I just warned against.

What can't be construed with this logic?

Verizon holds a monopoly on the devices they allow on the Verizon network. Wal-Mart holds a monopoly on the products they allow on their retail floor space. Xbox holds a monopoly on their game compatibility. McDonalds holds a monopoly on selling burgers inside McDonalds. You can define these trivial "micromonopolies" on literally everything you want. Which is why courts have never punished any company for this nonsense line of reasoning, especially when it's on a company that holds no actual "macromonopoly", and monopolies by virtue of existing aren't illegal anyways.

I reject your sweeping statement "science has spent the last 1.5 centuries presenting itself as a counterpoint to religion."

Science is a process of trying to explain why things as they are and to predict how things will behave in the future. Many (in ye olden days nearly all) scientists have been religious. There is a conflict only when the two come to different explanations of the same thing. That conflict wasn't the goal of science, unlike what you seem to imply.
> It just gets passed down to the customers.

That's a common but not an accurate belief:

As a business owner pricing a product or service, if your costs increase you can either take the marginal cost out of your net income or increase the price.

Taking it out of your net income is simple: You keep prices the same, revenue remains the same, and profit drops a bit.

Increasing the price is more complex; you are changing one component in a system of dynamic feedback: When you raise the price, fewer people buy your product, so the outcome may be less revenue and less profit. The impact of price changes on purchasing is called elasticity: Some products - e.g., fancy restaurant meals - are easily forgone and are thus price sensitive. Others, like necessary healthcare, can be priced extortionately and people will still buy it.

Arguably, if you are the mythical optimal manager, you've already priced your product to maximize revenue and therefore any change will decrease it. In that case, price increases will only worsen your profit.

The reason for your price increase is orthogonal to the customer's purchase decision - you raise the price, they buy less. They usually don't know and don't care why - do it for greed, to cover additional cost (and maintain your beloved profit margin), because your finger slipped on the price-your-goods app, whatever.
Themselves. Literally a stock buy back. If you don’t have to pay employees, then you use that money to buy back stock instead. Thus the stock price goes up due to the denominator being smaller.
At the time, Todd was testing with whatever the popular rop compiler was, and it wasn't able to chain anything using libc. Even on amd64 you can restrict which gadgets are available. Maybe you can find other approaches with a careful hand search, but I think knocking out the biggest exploit generator is hardly flawed in a practical sense.
> Starting by dealing with the devices that have the highest impact on the largest number of people, due to a runaway capitalistic empire trying to add an additional tax to everything that vaguely gets near it, has a higher chance of actually succeeding.

This is the worst approach, I think. Lawmaking shouldn't work where a juicy fineable target is spotted, singled out, and milked for all it's worth. Laws should set out rules that everyone has to follow.

Also, it might be hard to order groceries on a PS5, but it's much simpler to make a PS5 able to browse the Web than it is to open up an iPhone to any HTML-rendering code, or background tasks, without compromising the seamless experience reasons many people bought one for in the first place.

> due to a runaway capitalistic empire trying to add an additional tax to everything that vaguely gets near it

It's not due to a runaway capitalistic empire. It's because it made stuff people really want, so they'll pay for it. You're thinking of political structures, where people are forced to pay taxes regardless of the outcomes. Apple are rich because they make things people want. That's not a runaway empire. That's just being really, really useful. This gross mischaracterisation of useful structures as empires is astonishing and unhelpful to any clarity of thought.

Watching someone go through certain kinds of dementia can have a similar effect. Simplify the input and make situations repeatable (from their perspective) on very-short timeframes and it’s hard not to notice how much we behave like automatons. It’s being able to hold a lot of context that makes us seem like we’re ordinarily not, I reckon.
Show HN: Bytelog – cloud based code snippet manager
I wanted a simple snippet manager that syncs with github, supports markdown and has the ability to add metadata to the saved snippets. I couldnt find one tool which had all these features so decided to build bytelog.

some of the key features are -

- snippets are organized by languages and tags
- supports markdown
- each snippet can have metadata like a small description and/or external links for reference - this also supports markdown
- github gists import/export
- snippets can be downloaded as markdown files.

> Humans appear to have evolved for sex to be a social function as well as reproductive.

The context of social activity for any animal (or living thing that socializes) is sexual reproduction. How are you (or any reference you're using) delineating between social vs. reproductive function? Are you going to cite anecdotes of people who have sex for fun but don't want to reproduce? (These questions sound more combative than I want, fyi).

Individual behavior, even at scale, doesn't have any bearing on evolution. Evolution requires population level effect on a large time scales. Also, there is no evolution without passing on traits, so any trait that doesn't result in offspring will not have pressures that evolve the organism exhibiting that trait.

Yeah, if you've got 80% of your revenue coming from one customer, that's not great. But it all depends on how you work with your customers. In my business, things are pretty hands-off, and we have calls only a couple times a year, largely to talk about promoting our work together (our tech is a customer-facing differentiator for them, so we give joint talks at conferences and such).

I don't think there's some magic percentage, over which you need to diversify. You should always be looking to get other customers, and if you have one big one then it should be easier to get other big/medium-sized ones.

I always wanted to watch the movie, not because of the critical acclaim, not because I want to see graphic prison scenes, but because of the Giorgio Moroder score. The wrestling tag team Midnight Express, Dennis Condrey and Beautiful Bobby Eaton, managed by Jim Cornette used the main theme as their entrance music, and Art Bell used it to introduce his radio program. I figured if these guys, who I was a fan of, were so into it (whether they were actually into the movie, only wanted to piggyback off its success, or just liked the song, I don't actually know), I should check it out. The last straw that made me actually watch it was when my gf happened to live around the corner from an all night diner that we went to a lot named "Midnight Express".
