Yes, this is why I advocate for those impacted by the shelter in place orders to sue the federal government for 5A violations. Though to be fair there was extended unemployment benefits, so those would have to be considered in each person's assessment of harm.

> Well for starters,...

I don't necessarily disagree with your opinion regarding general transmission (though unless the entirety of the world self isolated for 14 days we were guaranteed to hit endemic status). But when the government shuts things down for that line of thinking, it is doing so for the good of the public's health. And we have 5A which says they owe people money. A lot of money!

Apart from considering folk rational, even when they fall for misimformation, I also acknowledge that the federal government had nowhere near enough funds to compensate everyone for sheltering in place, and therefore believe it is preferable to allow folks to make their own rosk assessments, despite knowing this outcome would lead to more loss of life.

*Also, another tidbit is that banks were compensated for lending ppp loans by a percent of the total loan's value, so bigger corporations were more likely to get a ppp loan because the bank received more money for the same amount of work. Corrupt incentives by design.

I don't think this is necessarily about different categories of intelligence... Politicking and socializing are skills that require time and mental energy to build, and can even atrophy. If you spend all your time worrying about technical things, you won't have as much time to build or maintain those skills. It seems to me like IQ and EQ are more fundamental and immutable than that, but maybe I'm making a distinction where there isn't much of one.

I mean, I don't actually believe this. But I am reminded of 2016 when the Turkish president headed off a "coup" and cemented his power.

More likely, this is a case of not letting a good crisis go to waste. I feel the board was probably watching their control over OpenAI slip away into the hands of Altman. They probably recognized that they had a shrinking window to refocus the company along lines they felt was in the spirit of the original non-profit charter.

However, it seems that they completely misjudged the feelings of their employees as well as the PR ability of Altman. No matter how many employees actually would prefer the original charter, social pressure is going to cause most employees to go with the crowd. The media is literally counting names at this point. People will notice those who don't sign, almost like a loyalty pledge.

However, Ilya's role in all of this remains a mystery. Why did he vote to oust Altman and Brockman? Why has he now recanted? That is a bigger mystery to me than why the board took this action in the first place.
From the release notes, it appears this may be the last release with i386 / 32-bit Intel x86 (as well as 32-bit armv6 and PowerPC) support.

“FreeBSD 15.0 is not expected to include support for 32-bit platforms other than armv7. The armv6, i386, and powerpc platforms are deprecated and will be removed. 64-bit systems will still be able to run older 32-bit binaries.“

I was working (very recently, during the 5000+ companies that were hacked via some what I presume were zero day hacks) for an MSP. 600 GB of data were exfiltrated from a law firm with several terabytes of storage of customer data kept due to data retention laws.

They asked for almost a million USD. FBI got involved, everything was restored from backups (thankfully, a month loss of digitalized work, and absolutely nothing was given to the ransomware group.

To your point, there are severe regulatory issues that have to be addressed due to the exfiltration. I no longer work for them, so I don't know the extent of their cost in 1. notifying affected clients and 2. providing credit protection coverage due to leaking of personal data.
Hydrogen never took off for good reason. Actually, multiple reasons. Having to build yet another ecosystem for delivery might be the biggest one, though. Whereas we already have a vast network for the delivery of electric power. In fact, one of the most beautiful things about BEVs is that their energy isn't delivered via an expensive and inefficient physical supply chain, like gasoline and presumably hydrogen would be.
>Tying in paddle as merchant of record for all installs shouldn’t be that challenging no?

It's not that hard, but I'm anticipating like 40 hours of work start to finish to get Paddle set up and write the integration.

The one positive thing I'll say about RapidAPI is that they made onboarding easy. They handle all of user signup, payments, etc. and they just forward your API requests from users. The only code I had to write is a few lines to populate a custom HTTP response header to tell RapidAPI how many units of my service the request consumed.

Paddle provides a lot less infrastructure, so I still have to write my own user signup flow. Paddle offers a JS library that does the heavy lifting for user signup, but I still have to integrate it with my website. And then they don't have the proxy model at all, so users talk directly to my backend, and my backend has to check with Paddle to see whether the user is valid or not. Then my backend has to both respond to the user and send a separate request to Paddle to add to the user's bill.

>Stripe has connect as well to split but I’m not sure their merchant of record features are as mature.

I didn't realize Stripe offered MoR at all, but it looks like they do now. My reading is that if I were to sell under RestEasy, then Stripe would indeed act as my MoR because I'm the "third-party seller":

>Is Stripe a merchant of record?

>Stripe is an MoR, but only for its Stripe Connect platform. With Stripe Connect, businesses can create platforms or marketplaces that process payments for third-party sellers. In this case, Stripe serves as the MoR, processing payments and assuming the associated responsibilities on behalf of the third-party sellers.

>However, when businesses use Stripe to process payments for regular direct transactions, the business itself remains the MoR while Stripe acts as a payment processor or payment gateway. This means that the business is responsible for transactional compliance, tax obligations, and managing refunds and chargebacks, while Stripe handles the technical aspects of transaction processing.

I think it does indeed suggest this, but I think this may be good news.

Part of what makes humans able to make progress in difficult, vague, and uncertain fields is a willingness to hold onto a point of view in the face of criticism to try & fix itl.

The clear move by OpenAI’s board is to let everyone resign to Microsoft and then release the tech as FOSS to the public. Any other move and Altman/Microsoft wins. By releasing it you maintain the power play and are able to let the world control the end result of whatever advances come from these LLMs.

Why this happened and whatever plans were originally planned is irrelevant.

The reduction of "techies" to emotionless robots is an unfair generalization. The inappropriate and wildly inaccurate comparison to slave labor is out of line.

Even taking your arguments at face value, it doesn't really make sense: Let's agree and say that AI can never make "real art." How does AI art existing prevent human-made art with the intent of self expression from existing? You say it will make human art less commercially viable, but that's hardly related to the expression behind the art. Human art has just as much expression whether or not it is a commercial success. Is your argument about financial viability or expression? Would you agree that having deep human expression enhances the value of a piece of art? Are you aware that artists who focus wholly on expression were already stereotypically "starving," even before AI art was a thing?
If you are a vampire.

> a homeserver can POST updates to other homeservers that have followers on them, instead of relying those remote servers polling the one that originates the content.

This is definitely a difference but there are a couple of reasons I'm not sure I'd call it strictly an improvement.

The first is that it feels like it would have been pretty easy to have ActivityPub allow everything to filter by a (created and/or updated) date. People don't like pull protocols, but hey guess what any Mastodon client (JavaScript or otherwise) is doing. Pulling isn't as bad as its reputation would suggest, plus we're great at serving/caching this stuff now. Like, one of the main benefits of HTTP is that it basically has encryption and caching built in. Pulling would have been fine for probably everything--and you can imagine designing the protocol to make it even more efficient than something like POSTing every new update to every federated server w/ a follower (batching would be a big win here).

Second, the ActivityPub spec is pretty cagey on retries ("[federated servers] SHOULD additionally retry delivery to recipients if it fails due to network error"). Who knows if the existing servers implement some strategy, but the spec has no guidance AFAIK. Also, is a recipient server being down/erroring a network error? Also, nothing says POSTs have to be sent immediately. These aren't niche concerns; you can imagine a server being under heavy load or experiencing some network problems and reacting by limiting the number of update POSTs it sends.

SMTP [0] on the other hand says you should wait 30 minutes and try over 4-5 days. We can quibble about the values or w/e, but a federated sync protocol should have more to say about sync than "POST updates, retry if it fails".

Anyway, all of that is to say that I think ActivityPub probably would have been a lot simpler, faster, consistent (clients basically have to be pull because phones) and robust if server-to-server interactions were pull and not push.

3x4 is about right, but the original 747 drawings were not drawn on paper, they were inked on thick thermal and humidity stable mylar. Some detail parts may have been defined multiple (up to a half dozen) E sized (36”x48”) mylars. Then there were separate drawings for each assembly of detail parts. Then there was all the manufacturing planning and detailed work instructions to fabricate each level of assembly. Then there is all the documentation associated with lab qualification testing prior to flight. I have personally authorized qual test reports in excess of 3000 pages, where ~100 pages was my content and the rest was all backup data.

I wonder what the sweet spot for # of passenger for a given route is. You need to balance costs (crew, fuel, airport fees, ...) with revenue from passengers. On one end you can have a massive plane that flies once a week. But that's inconvenient for passengers who'd prefer more frequent flights. On the other end you frequently fly tiny aircraft... but that would have a high crew + airport fees overhead.

Well definitely, but as a net benefit, we'll have less proprietary Matrix code than before. Or the people needing to use Synapse in a proprietary setting can contact Element for a proprietary licence, in which case Element will be able to pay its salaries and keep developing Matrix.

HTML being returned by a server is an API, i.e. an Application Programming Interface, it's an API designed to be consumed by a hypermedia client, e.g. a browser.

Quoting Roy Fielding:

"The design of the Web had to shift from the development of a
reference protocol library to the development of a network-based API, extending the desired semantics of the Web across multiple platforms and implementations.
A network-based API is an on-the-wire syntax, with defined semantics, for application interactions. A network-based API does not place any restrictions on the application code aside from the need to read/write to the network, but does place restrictions on the set of semantics that can be effectively communicated across the interface."
This is perfect for Apple since good image sensor design requires a small highly-skilled team. It's very different from, say, cellular modems.
