There are many ways we can use distinctions to classify everyone, but if we’re using the term proletariat like I mentioned, that’s certainly defined as someone who gets their income through labour power. [1]

I’m a bit confused by your examples with academics or engineers as well. If an engineer stops fulfilling their deliverables, they’ll likely stop being employed. Same goes for a postdoc not producing any research. I’ve certainly seen people get fired for failing to get work done even though they have connections in their industry. It almost seems like your conception of who is bourgeoises and who is not is based on how snobby the caricature of their job is.

While I largely agree with you, I think a lot of people are in an annoying in-between when it comes to buying a Youtube subscription. I maybe watch 5 minutes a day, averaged out. That's not nearly enough to make it worth it to me to buy a subscription. On the other hand, the ads have gotten really annoying. Being able to skip after 5 seconds on most is nice, but I'd almost rather they were just 10 seconds long and unskippable. It's frustrating to watch 5 seconds, skip, and then immediately need to do that again, especially if it's something you have on 'in the background.'

If they had one based on a scale of how many videos you watch, I'd be much more keen. Of course, I expect they wouldn't do that for multiple reasons.

I once had a website that would have been profitable if not for ad blockers, so I definitely get it. I don't know what the real solution is. Ideally they could block ad blockers and then keep the number of ads under control, but I doubt they'd actually reduce the numbers if they did manage to stop ad blockers.
>>Spotify's problem is it has to pay out ~80% of revenue to rightsholders, so Apple's 15% take doesn't leave you with a viable business.

Any payment fees would be subtracted before the payout to the rights holders, they pay based on NET revenue not gross revenue [1]

This appears to be a reference to https://epadd.stanford.edu/epadd/collection-detail?collectio... - a collection of "Don Knuth" emails.

The public versions are very redacted, but:
1) they seem to all be from his secretary, not him
2) most of the messages are not dictation or direct copies of messages Knuth wrote elsewhere.
I think "Fall; Or, Dodge in Hell" was still pretty good. [0] I haven't been able to finish Termination Shock though. Too much "big rich guy will come save us" in the early parts for me.

Oh man, on first reading I definitely thought it was saying "with experimental technologies, Linux can drop all traffic", which would have been a hilarious dig... but I think "drop all incoming packets" is a useful benchmark for evaluating overhead, like doing conntrack for every packet that hits then immediately discarding it.
It's not just their direct reports or even their employees. HN, Twitter, and Reddit are full of commenters simping and white-knighting for CEOs they have no relation to, whenever someone questions them. Corporate leaders have become this weird "priesthood" complete with followers and apostles praising them online.

when a company that produces hardware that plays music has control over the industry that delivers music to that hardware they might be tempted to make their hardware handle that music better.

Apple might not even do that, but given Google's documented behaviors about making their sites work better with Chrome they might expect that Apple would if they could.
Yes, Apple is 100% going to ship the same silicon in 2028 that they decided not to ship in 2023.

Great analysis. A+
I just dug a bit deeper as I couldn't remember the differences. They're not referring to the same things.

"alwaysStrict", which adds "use strict", is different than TypeScript "strict" mode, which constrains the language.

Setting "strict" to "true" enables "alwaysStrict", but not the other way around. I'd remove "alwaysStrict" and go with "strict" as it covers more things.

MSFT is up over 50% since investing $10B in OpenAI. That's a couple orders magnitude difference in market cap over the investment alone.

Satya does not sound like someone communicating from a position of strength - he's been repeatedly assuring his shareholders that no matter what happens, their AI plans moving forward are secure. They need stability, not chaos, because whatever clear lead it seems they have right now could be quickly be eclipsed in the coming months.

Committing securities fraud and accepting a fine would pale in comparison to the potential value erosion.

It really is the most annoying thing at the current state of LLMs: "As an AI assistant created by $ I strive to be X, Y and Z and can therefore not...".

I understand that you don't want to have an AI bot that spews hate speech and bomb receipts and unsuspecting users. But by going into an arms-race with jailbreakers, the AIs are ridiculously cut down for normal users.

It's a bit like DRM, where normal people (honest buyers) suffer the most, while those pirating the stuff aren't stopped and enjoy much more freedom while using t

You can read the documentation for the vector package. (This is an extremely common package since it is a dependency for the JSON library aeson.)

Check out https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector-0.13.1.0/docs/Dat...

Now if you understand the type family GHC extension, all this will be easily understood. If not, basically the idea is that you can automatically transform Array of Structs into Structs of Array by defining that transformation using a data family instance that you write yourself. For common types like tuples, the library already defined polymorphic instances for you.

Of course this transformation isn't always desirable and you don't have to use this. If your code isn't performance sensitive I wouldn't even bother with unboxed vectors; I'd just use regular vectors.
I'm fairly certain you could inject ads directly into the video stream at the protocol layer (HLS/DASH) without too much difficulty. Both operate by sending self-contained chunks of encoded media at a time. The real issue there is then preventing the user from skipping those parts of the video.

I really don't think so unless I missed something. You can put an assistant message at the end but it won't continue directly from that, there will be special tokens in between which makes it different from Claude's prefill.

Full transparency: I head the customer success team for Transposit, a tool for automating incident response. Before this, I ran Production Operations for Hulu and had the opportunity to build an incident response from scratch.

Communication Tools
Internally: We primarily used Slack for real-time communication, enabling quick collaboration and integrations.

Externally: Our main external communication method was email for engaging with stakeholders.

Communication Framework
Here is an excellent framework on how to communicate effectively during incidents:

Conditions: The current scenario—what's happening right now?

Actions: The dance of deeds—what's being done?

Needs: Resources, time, or assistance required. What do you need?

Example: "Need the network team to join the bridge and assist with load balancer logs."

Example: "Require 10 minutes to dive into logs for insights."

This framework helps keep communication simple and removes emotional responses that sometimes enter these conversations.

Guidance for Incident Severity Response
Here's some guidance for additional resources depending on the severity of an ongoing incident.

Dispatch
The group must mobilize and respond to the ongoing disruption. Generally, this is the on-call person responding to help mitigate. We dispatch them to take action; their help is mandatory in solving the issue.

Building Dispatch Groups: On-call schedules generally indicate who the people are. If you don't have that available, start building a manual roster in a spreadsheet.

Inform
Stakeholders outside of engineering may need to be informed of ongoing disruptions. This group generally includes customer support, press relations, senior leadership, critical business partners, legal, etc. These teams likely have their own process for dealing with an incident and require less technical information.

Notify
The notification groups are unnecessary to resolve an incident or interact with those fixing it. Generally, this involves broad communication to an email distribution or public chat channel, informing everyone of the ongoing activity. This communication group may offer additional resources due to being notified.

You can automate a significant portion of this workflow by leveraging Slack, external status pages, emails, or even SMS directly. Let me know if I can help

Yeah, my friend and I got MQ when it first came out and beat it in a single day. IIRC, the resurrection item was cheaply available, instant-death to undead enemies, and healed living characters up to full health.

There were some fun box-moving/jumping puzzles though.
At the risk of being overly critical sour grapes, I really had tools like Monibot in mind when creating Catalyst.

Out of the box, Monibot throws a bunch of data at you like database size, CPU %, requests, etc. None of these metrics really tell you if something in your webapp is broken. And if you want more useful metrics, you gotta instrument them yourself.

It does do some things that Catalyst critically misses (health checks, e-mail notifications). But at the same time, if you're going to prod, Monibot by itself is not something you'd be comfortable with. You're going to need to add other monitoring tools to get that peace of mind.
Sam Altman is said to be in talks with the OpenAI board about a possible return
Everybody involved has more to gain by patching things up and the 'rogue' board members vacating their seats, the sooner they realize that the better.

As for whether or not investors have a case: Microsoft may not, but the smaller investors probably do because they can fairly easily prove that their interests were harmed by the ill advised actions of the board.
The EU, since they actually give a damn about antitrust, needs to look long and hard at:

* YouTube running at a loss for years until they achieved overwhelming market dominance. We might all be using Vimeo or something else.

* The forced bundling of YouTube Music. Leveraging a monopoly for a foothold in another market is also not okay.
> Why does BTC need an ETF at all, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of owning one’s own wallets? Also… exchanges defeating the purpose of decentralization…

Many financial institutions do not care about decentralization, but they do care about investing in an asset where they do not have to worry about managing the asset (in that regard, similar to REITs). Having the asset insured against various types of malfeasance is also a requirement for investments by many institutional funds.
The IDE situation remains the #1 issue in adoption. Emacs+SLIME+Paredit (or variants) really are the best way to write Common Lisp, but it's also extremely unpalatable to someone who isn't willing to invest in not just a new language, but also an entirely new and extremely intricate editor stack.

It's been my hope for well over a decade that the situation would change. Alive is decent, but has a long way to go before being a tool a professional could reasonably use.
"May have died"

Do they have any actual evidence to this? The closest thing I saw in the article is

>ISGlobal and Inserm scientists previously had estimated that more than 61,000 people died in the 2022 summer heatwaves with Italy the EU country most impacted.

But that is not "more than 70k" even if you add the 10.28% they claimed were underestimated.

Even if we accept 61k + 10% as more than 70k (which it is not) then I'm not sure where they are getting their numbers from. Do they have any evidence of that many deaths? All I am seeing is "estimates".
>Of course, this may change in the EU due to the “Digital Markets Act”, but this is new.

That's exactly why it should change and why Apple(and Google) knows the winds are changing sooner or later.

>Bigger companies getting better deals has always been the reality, due to volume discounts.

That works in retail where I can get a volume discount for buying 2 million tonnes of bannanas, but this logic doesn't apply to digital markets which scale much more effortlessly and cheaply regardless of scale meaning steep discounts for big players are somewhat counter intuitive.

>We have a different idea about what the free market is.

The free market means that if I want x tonnes of bannanas to buy or sell, I can choose which supplier or to whom, and at what price to buy/sell them.

In the mobile digital markets you have no such freedom of choice. It's either Apple on the iOS market or Google (minus sideloading) on the Playstore, that's it. They're two monopolies with no competition, not a free market.

The structure doesn't make a lot of sense to me. A for-profit entity is for making a profit regardless of who governs it. It may in some way make the Effective Altruism people feel better about it but if they wanted that kind of control staying a non-profit was the way forward. Getting an $80 Billion valuation Effectively threw the Altruism out the window. Altman did what every SV CEO would do in his situation - the opportunity to dominate the sector presented itself and he moved to secure it. That is what CEOs do or they get fired. Not only that - that is what the employees want them to do because they get rich.
Reminds me of ZX81's BASIC: you didn't type keywords. There was a key for each one on the specialized keyboard. The editor was context-sensitive - in other words, a parser-driven lexical analyzer was you. At the time, it seemed a little magical to me that it knew whether you wanted to type a word/number versus a keyword, and what kind of keyword (but really, the pedagogically relevant aspect was that I knew).

BTW Significant to the ZX81 was the memory saved by storing tokens instead of their text representation. Yes. It had 1k RAM kids - including display memory (no separate GPU). This parsing when entered would also make runtime faster.

If it can fit into your schedule try the flavor of biphasic sleep where you go to bed with everyone (or even a little early) then wake up 4 hours later for 2 hours or so max, then sleep another 4. It will give you your alone time, with a motivator to get to bed earlier as that is now a prerequisite. It has been proposed that this is closer to the "natural" human sleep cycle that people used before ubiquitous artificial light.
Reminds me of an NPM package named in such a way that I can never propose it during a meeting / standup:

> Through regulatory capture, rent seeking, even just good old hiring goons.

Regulatory capture is using the state's power. The state is the one with the power. Rent seeking is the same. Hiring goons is illegal. If you're willing to include illegal things then all bets are off. But from your list of non-illegal things, 100% of them are the state using its power to wrong ends.

> The government itself uses money to do those things. Police don't work for free, prisons aren't built for free, guns aren't free.

Yes, but the point about power is the state has the right to lock you up. How it pays the guards is immaterial; they could be paid with potatoes and it'd still have the right. They could just be paid in "we won't lock you up if you lock them up". However, if Bill Gates wants to publicly set up a prison in the USA and lock people in it, he will go to jail. His money doesn't buy that power.

So, no. The state doesn't have power because it has enough money to pay for a prison and someone to throw you in it. People with money can't do what the state does.
Name any positive valid use case that crypto does better than the current financial system.
PlayStation Music (or actually "Music unlimited" as it was called) was the only music application able/allowed to run in background while a game was running. Other (hobbyist) music players are not allowed, likely because it would make the available resources to a game less predictable, so harder to optimizer for the console...

As many others, Sony found later that it's not worth it to operate a own streaming service, and probably made a deal with Spotify where Sony provided the initial application, Spotify provided the service and potentially pays some additional revenue share to Sony.

It's a story from a moment in time where every distributor/company thought they could do a better/more profitable music streaming service than Spotify...

Cloudflare blocking me suddenly from loads of sites

I recently switched ISP and it happened after that but it also happens with NordVPN running. Nothing else changed with my setup.

Comically benign stuff that works fine with GPT-4? It's so trivial to run into Claude lying or responding with arrogant misjudgements. Here's another person's poor anecdotal experiences to pair with yours and mine. [1][2]

But more importantly: it shouldn't matter. My tools should not behave this way. Tools should not arbitrarily refuse to work. If I write well-formed C, it compiles, not protests in distaste. If I write a note, the app doesn't disable typing because my opinion sucks. If I chop a carrot, my knife doesn't curl up and lecture me about my admittedly poor form.

My tools either work for me, or I don't work with them. I'm not wasting my time or self respect dancing for a tool's subjective approval. Work or gfto.

Rightfully so; tasers and pepper spray were meant to incapacitate violent suspects. They were never supposed to be used to enforce compliance with orders.

Pulling out tasers to deal with "auditors" is the very behavior they seek to document.
