I think the solution that you're paying for here is the burstable capacity. Dev teams often end up with a backlog of 100 internal requests, and all of them are "the highest priority", well, if you have 1 thing doer and 100 things to do, they can't all be processed at once. But if you get 100 consultants, then they can do all 100 high priority items in parallel. The other edge of this sword, though, is that they want real money. Your manager is going to have to approve an expense report. Suddenly, it's actually possible to break the list down into actually high enough priority to pay 10x for, and just "nice to have".

That said, I'm not sure it really helps. The infrastructure to allow these consultants to be productive is going to be expensive; the dev team has to provide a safe API for these integrations, and an API "that could be used for anything" is harder to design than writing code for a particular use case. (Then again, I bet a lot of these teams get a request like "can you just give us a read only replica of your database" and get "sure" back. It will be 1 year before they realize they just lost their SOC2 compliance and their website has been lying this whole time.)
In a hypothetical future, there is some D&D platform that integrates both AI and VR. Imagine a sufficiently advanced "DM-GPT" that can create both the narrative and visual environment for a first-person immersive D&D campaign. I might be 80 years old by then, but I'd play the shit out of that game.

> I'm missing a lot of details, but doesn't classical economics say that if demand drops then the price should drop, too?

Price is the intersection of supply and demand. If demand drops price can be maintained by reducing supply. With economies of scale a drop in demand may actually translate to an increase in price as Apple has development and production costs to cover.
The USB C port on the new iPhone and trade in value of my current phone about to plummet forced my hand. But besides that I can see why, phones are getting so fast that upgrading just doesn't make sense. We're no longer seeing leaps and bounds we saw in the beginning.

Not unlike PCs i think smart phones are largely good enough for most use cases these days. All the latest and greatest versions just seem to make the camera a little bit better. I have an iphone12 and no plans to upgrade until it breaks, my kids have even older iphones and as long as they can txt their friends, play games, and watch youtube they're satisfied.
Apple’s USB C has been a reason to upgrade before we strictly had to (deals available made a strong argument also).

I don’t foresee upgrading this before phone destruction.
it's just measurement bias in any case. It's like asking a mechanic which car is the most reliable. They have no idea, they fix the ones that break down the most. Likewise, oncologists mostly see people dying of cancer.
I'm on the 2020 SE, which is basically the same, with a bit more RAM and a newer CPU. I upgraded because there was a good deal on a refurbished one. The big reason to upgrade though is simply the march of time. I can have objections and opinions about software bloat, but the reality of that is that I'm powerless to fight that movement. In order to be able to run modern websites and apps on my phone, never mind software on my laptop, the newer phone is simply more capable of keeping up. The fancy bells and whistles of the latest and greatest 15-series aren't necessary (though the usb-c port is compelling) but being able to run apps acceptably, is. There was actually a brief moment I was going to get a 13 mini because it's actually smaller than my SE but that moment passed.

I read his wiki. Didn’t see anything of the hates three letter agencies or the American government variety. I did see this:

> In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contacted Unspam Technologies, asking, "Do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is?" The DHS' email served as the impetus for Cloudflare, a technology company Prince co-founded with Holloway and fellow Harvard Business School graduate Michelle Zatlyn the following year.

Which sounds like the opposite of what we would want. Cloudflare being started because a three letter agency told him that harvesting internet data is valuable. Unless his take away was “they do that too? Better try to stop it!”

Is there something else you’re referring to?
No, "literally" has been used to mean "figuratively" as a common English idiom for centuries, and there is plenty of documentary proof to that effect, including the specific year I mentioned (1769) being the first use of "literally" as "figuratively" attested to in print. This isn't something "the kids" came up with ten years ago, or that I just made up.

You are right that this metric excludes things like capital gains income, and covers just hourly earnings.

“Real”, however, refers to it being inflation adjusted, not an exclusion of high earners (who are excluded anyway because of the hourly earnings metric).
I beg you, can you please not fucking ruin it? It's perfect as it is. Artist uploads music, people pay for music and download it. Don't change anything. Don't add new features, don't enshittify existing features, don't make design changes, don't do anything. Bandcamp is done, no need for any further changes, just put it in a cabinet and let it run.

Modern CPAP machines don't require any follow up visits for tuning, and often initial setup will be done remotely on rented machine.
As a developer, let me tell you how things go:

1) Marketer puts together something in their no-code tool of choice. For a while it does what is needed and becomes a critical part of the marketing workflow.

2) New requirements come in, maybe it needs to integrate with a new API or database. Marketer is too busy marketing to waste time with all that plumbing. Thankfully there's a department full of people whose literal job is dealing with all this crap: the developers! The no-code project is thrown over the wall and some coders are assigned the task of rat-wrestling with the no-code tool, as well as writing code against their crufty, idiosyncratic API -- code that cannot be tested using their usual testing tools because it must all live within the no-code runtime -- to fill in the gaps in the tool's functionality. Their productivity grinds to a near halt. This becomes their job for months to years because the no-code workflow is Mission Critical, Essential to the Business, and if it breaks or cannot be made to do what is needed billions are at stake.

3) That thing you wanted takes 9 months to complete because now the dev team has all the no-code cruft on top of their work building actual software for the business.

Please, for the love of God, just do us all a favor and learn some Python. When you throw that over the wall for us to maintain, at least we can version-control it, test it, and integrate it with our CI/CD.
I wonder if it being "visual" makes business owners more likely to look at the logic and realize "wow, this is a mess, let's simplify this". Whereas, complicated logic in code is seen as "just a bunch of code" and non-coders will never look at it or attempt to understand it.

I store my candy in the basement, it's a life-hack to help me control myself. Maybe businesses would also benefit from the "hack" of requiring business logic to be visually represented, and thus force themselves to keep things simple.

I have this fantasy where the project owner runs the code though a tool which faithfully translates it to a visual language, and then promptly gives me a large severance. On my way out he asks me what the incomprehensible tangle on his screen is, and I laugh on my way out the door.
If there is an organization which is arbitrarily limiting supply, it is not accurate to call it the "free market".

I'm extremely skeptical of any company that does as much advertising as PCBWay, but they seem to legitimately do a good job. From what I can tell, it seems every single order is reviewed by a human who sends you an email if something is off. Quality is as good as you'd want and the price is reasonable.

Their website is an atrocity but I guess that's fine.

I've been using them for the last few months and I have no complaints.

Quite an understatement :) It was something like two pages of "install like this" (one page) and "you should use Closure library" (one page).

Russia (and some other ex-USSR states) has a large amount of passenger rail (long distance, commuter and the new thing that is daytime quick inter-regional trains) and also a large amount of freight as well.

It helps that most of main lines are electrified twin tracks.

With regards for competitiveness, once it's in it becomes vital infrastructure that nobody asks questions about. Like nobody asks "are the USA interstates competitive". They're there so that country as a whole remains competitive.

The paper actually lays it out pretty clearly. Yes, you can just pipe 16kHz audio into a tokenizer, which is exactly what they did (kind of).

They just treat the input as 8-bit ASCII (which in itself is technically not a thing, since ASCII is 7-bit, but the paper doesn't seem to care about technicalities).

So the input alphabet is 256 entries - 1 for each byte. Simple as that.

I know it sounds elitist and crazy, but I don’t think average consumers knows what they want in a phone

I think they see other people with bigger screens, and they fall into this trap that bigger display is less humiliating. That a bigger display is more important than something you can actually physically hold.

On the 1st gen iPhone, Jobs was very persistent in having a device that fits in your hand well. What happened when he died? They started making them bigger so they’d look competitive with HTC, Samsung, etc…

I can’t even reach the address bar in Safari with one hand unless I do a weird palm slide, that’s ridiculous.

The phone should be an extension of your arm, not a mini iPad.
I know this will sound like a whinge but it's really a shame they removed the audio jack, it was so useful for simple sound/music projects.
>No one knows except the deciding party since someone else decided that you do not get to evaluate whether it is precious.

Yet there are plenty of other ways to get "data", that until recently were the only ways to get data, that are relatively heavily censored and controlled. We didn't complain that libraries didn't give unfettered access to all information, or that we were not able to start a conversation with an aribtrary human. It's a crucial part of my argment that, thanks to the presentation of (hugely more) data on the internet, it's not possible for even the recipient to understand what's precious and what is not. Take a look around you at people consuming content on the internet. Is that "precious" data?

>Right. Them proles should be working instead of entertaining ideas different feom what politburo in US is trying to ram through.

Interesting take, given that the largely US-centric internet technolgies are being used to push a largely US-centric view of the world on the rest of the world.

>Would you be willing to elaborate on what exactly you have in mind? Absolute ban?

I would not be permitted, as an app developer where I live, to develop something like TikTok and allow kids of all ages free access to (in my opinion) mind poison. Again in my opinion, it's an insane state of things where we allow things we know are bad from external sources to be freely used and accessed. I also think this time will be remembered like we remember the late 1800s, where newly-discovered potent drugs were widely and legally distributed.

> Lichess, legally, is now a charitable organization

I’m not saying Lichess will do something like this, but have you heard the saga of the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM)?

It grew out of the University of Michigan — as a non-profit. Its president and board spun off a for-profit subsidiary owning the majority of its work, people, and assets and leaving a small fraction for the non-profit.

Then, the for-profit entity was bought by a succession of other entities: Veridian, General Dynamics, and now MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates.

I only learned of this while working with a graybeard from the original ERIM during their General Dynamics days — he was still sore about it.

So never doubt a president/ceo and board if they’re really determined in going for-profit!

They may started as legit investigations but I doubt they did not realise soon it was a dead end and still keep selling seances and look for funds to keep their research.

Oh OK, so then I am correct under the overwhelming majority position/framework which is the only interpretation that matters for enforcement, which is the interpretation held by the court system.

I am more than happy to accept that concession and only be "wrong" under the minority position that hasn't been relevant for 40 years.

They can make whatever bad arguments they want in court, and lose their lawsuits I guess.

They don't decide the outcome of these court cases.

I think a decent solution is coming up with a system for storing the models and datasets, checkpoints, etc. in S3 - store the metadata, references, etc. in a well structures postgres table (schema versioning, audit logs, etc. with snapshots). Also, embedding the metadata in the model/dataset as well, in a way you could always reconstruct the database from the artifacts (in Arrow and Parquet files, you can embed arbitrary metadata at the file-level and the field level).

But perhaps the best solution is to just use something like MlFlow or WandB that handles this for you, if you use the API correctly!
The Pi Zero 1 performance is pretty bad and it doesn't support 64bit OSes (so no Ubuntu). The Pi Zero 2 looks pretty decent for the price, performance should be ok-ish and it'll run Ubuntu... if you could actually get one.
> the freight trains are often too long to fit on the siding

This is a deliberate part of "precision scheduled railroading" which is neither precision nor scheduled.

Management and investors believe railroads are in long-term decline so capital investments to improve capacity and/or speed are not done. The most important metric is the "operating ratio". If serving a new customer that adds $200m to profit would decrease the ratio by 2% the railroad will not serve the customer.

So as part of this the railroad wants to minimize crew time. On a given section of track with passing sidings the railroad could move more cars by having three train crews going back and forth, creating conists just long enough to fit in the sidings. They could also extend the sidings to allow longer trains.

Instead they reduce to two or even one crew and make longer consists. This often means one crew parks their train and leaves it for an entire day because they won't be able to pass the other train in the opposite direction. The crew has to take a taxi back home and leaves the train idle. Once the other train passes they or another crew comes back and resumes. It now takes 3 days to move the same number of cars it would have taken two before but over those three days the railroad only paid for 1.5 crew days instead of paying 3 crews over two days. Labor costs are reduced, operating ratio looks better, job done.

I'll also point out that US railroad companies hate carrying passengers. They spent decades begging permission to discontinue passenger service, cooking books, refusing to sell tickets, etc so they could discontinue their passenger services. For example what is Caltrain used to run down to LA and was very profitable right up until the day they terminated service.

edit: When management and investors punish railroads for trying to be a better railroad I don't know how you fix that brain damage. We seem stuck in an extremely sub-optimal local maxima.
