"Sure creators, we'll give you more ad revenue just as soon as people start paying us!"

My individual contributions, Premium or not, are tiny in the grand scheme of things. Similar to me buying an EV and feeling better about myself "solving climate change", giving Google money so they will feed that poor, starving content creator an extra morsel of revenue misses the mark entirely.

Google is asking creators to rely on them to get their bills paid. Google doesn't pay them enough so they have to get revenue some other way. This is also similar to Walmart not paying workers enough but spinning it as a good thing because then they can qualify for food stamps.
It’s not necessarily that game devs“don’t allow it,” and more like “didn’t bother to implement that feature and integrate with those services.”

Which is a really fair point. Because why waste time on this, when a user who cares about playing their own music can just open a browser tab or spotify/apple music/local/etc. app, and it will work literally in any game anywhere. And Playstation supports Spotify/Apple Music/local music playback during games natively, without any hacks or workarounds (like using the built-in web browser) as well. I assume Xbox has similar functionality, but I don’t have much experience with it.

The only games i’ve seen that allow (limited) in-game audio provider choice are those that have an in-game radio feature (older GTA games, Forza, etc.), so that the custom user music kinda works “in-universe” in those games.
I think it is because spotify's biggest competitor is Apple. And both Google and Sony really doesn't want Apple to control the music streaming industry as it could affect their device sales.
If antivirus scanners come up at any point when the topic is things that are "critical" to the developer experience (let alone as the very first thing), that's a really telling baseline—the tip of the iceberg as far as indicators of organizational dysfunction go. You might as well be speaking from a place where every employee starts the day with a nailgun fired through the palm of their hand and then they spend their time gushing over lunch about how Acme Co. has the best woodsaws out of all the woodsaws because theirs are the ones that let you really get in there and cut away most of the plank—so you're just walking around with a medium chunk of wood fixed to the back of your hand, of course, instead of the whole board. Nuts.
Again, "seemed like it made sense" expresses doubt, in the way that "it seems safe" expressed doubt that it actually is safe.

If you really meant your comment now, there was no reason to add "seemed like it" in your earlier text.

You can see things however you want. The trick is to make others understand the difference between what you say and that utterances of an ignorant blowhard, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

You don't seem to understand the historical context, your issues don't make sense, your improvement seem pointless at best, and you have very firm and hyperbolic viewpoints. That does not come across as 20/20 hindsight.
Netflix went a different route. After being offered to only pay a 10% cut, they made calculations and decided to not offer in-app-subscriptions at all. This article has details: https://www.theverge.com/23954852/google-netflix-app-store-d...

Sure, agreed. I don’t think this is something we should necessarily want. But if it is, it would require subsidy.

Luckily, unlike OpenAI, Anthropic lets you prefill Claude's response which means zero refusals.
Respectfully, you seem likely to not have ADHD. If I had "snacks and Youtube" on my calendar for 20 minutes every day, I would spend the preceding hour stressing about what video I would watch on a given day, and struggle to make myself go down to the kitchen to grab a snack when the time came. It's not even the discomfort, I enjoy exercise, it's overcoming the activation energy to get started.

Executive dysfunction is fundamentally different from laziness in a way that a lot of people have trouble grasping.
Uh... don't expose your X.org server to the internet naked. I thought this was obvious. All the problems you mentioned go away. Who exposes X to the net anyway? That's not something a normal desktop install does.

It is cargo culting. It's not actually a problem that my applications are powerful and can do what I want them to do. It is a problem that other locked down OSes like Macs and smartphone systems are not in the user's control and programs cannot do many things by design. This is because on those systems the users are not in control of what is running and the OS makers believe they know better. If they can't do it it is useless (no qualification re: fantasy security issues needed).

Can you expand on what you mean by "not nearly as productive as node"? I've found the opposite to be true, because of the simplified tooling.

That said, most of my Deno projects have been fairly basic, so I'm curious if there's a point at which the early wins give way to hidden pain points.
The longitudinal studies of the of the kids who were 0-10 during the pandemic are going to be fascinating.

As a tiny example: I've anecdotally heard that kids in the 5-10yo bracket need their parents in the bed to fall asleep at a higher rate than would typically be normal. Probably because parents cuddled their kids to sleep during the lockdowns as a stress reducer for both of them, rather than turning out the lights and leaving the room.
Who is “we”?

It seems just as likely that an AGI would be put to work persuading us that climate change was nothing to worry about.
Oh yes! I used response times as a proxy for backend health a couple times. Still, it's better if the service tells you there is some degradation in a way the client can understand and handle. Sometimes, only some of the requests need to be slowed down or paused, leading to some limited functionality but not a complete loss of service.
Ford decreases $3.5B MI battery plant as EV demand disappoints, labor costs rise
Take a look at ONDC. They do exactly this in India. Early days, but seemingly successful with very low fees.

https://ondc.org/
But the capacity needed to top up that battery on a cloudy week is still less than having a gas plant having to meet peak demand.

Kinda like the BMW i3 with Rex. You charge it at home (solar), but when it gets low the on-board generator (gasoline 2 cylinder) can trickle charge your battery until you get home (where you have solar again).
1. A 200k context is bittersweet with that 70k->195k error rate jump. Kudos on that midsection error reduction, though!

2. I wish Claude had fewer refusals (as erroneously claimed in the title). Until Anthropic stops heavily censoring Claude, the model is borderline useless. I just don't have time, energy, or inclination to fight my tools. I decide how to use my tools, not the other way 'round. Until Anthropic stops injecting bias into their models to create some byzantine, manic LLM omertà, I'll stick to more effective models, thanks. I'm too swamped to add "tech company decided what's best for me this time" app bugs to my backlog.

Maybe I just use GPT4 too much, but I disagree and most benchmarks show Clause being neck-and-neck with 3.5, especially the lmsys benchmarks which I think are the highest quality. [0] MMLU is basically broken (although even that puts Claude higher).

It’s amazing how much time corporate white knights spend jumping into every adblock thread. This used to be Hacker News.
I’m a bit confused as to how https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp4.html isn’t mentioned at all.
I don't know about the motivations, but the point seems valid.

I agree WorldCoin is creepy.

Is the corporate structure then working as intended with regard to firing Sam, but still failed because of the sellout to Microsoft?
Yes! The whole world feels special and lovingly crafted. I spent so much time tracking down the frog coins as a kid (my horror when I discovered one can only be gotten at the beginning of the game). The journey to get the belt in monstro-town? God, it was so engaging as a kid.

My favorite little bit of hidden functionality was that you can become an indentured inn-keeper in Marrymore. It had this weird mechanic that you could request to stay another night right from your room. The game designers could have been lazy and just prevented you from staying another night if you didn't have the funds, but instead they built this entire game mode where if you go into debt, you can't leave the hotel until you pay it back by working as an inn-keeper. I remember getting stuck there for a ridiculous amount of time because of how many nights I stayed at the hotel thinking I was getting away with something.
There were no crew on the first two Saturn V flights, yet the engineers considered it worthwhile to build them with sufficient care that they didn't vaporize anything except fuel and oxidizer.

That is incredibly naive. I would argue the police unions are the most powerful unions in the country by quite a large margin.

You may be ramping up too quickly. It doesn’t need to feel like torture. Drop any preconceived notions of what counts as an “exercise session”. Go as slow as you need. Let your body adapt.

When I first got back into running 2 years ago after a long hiatus, I had to learn the painful lesson that I was being way too hard on myself. I eventually figured out that I can slow down and start with just a very slow 0.5 - 1 mile jog. I can even stop and stretch in the middle of the run if I'm feeling tight. It sounds silly, but I didn't realize that was allowed. There are no rules. If anyone judges you, that's there problem. You do you.

Here’s one of many, many possible examples:

* Walk for 10 minutes 3x a week for a few months.

* Walk for 15 minutes 3x a week for a month or two.

* Walk for 20 minutes 3x a week for a month or two. Stretch for 5 minutes before or after walking.

* Walk for 5 minutes, then jog VERY SLOWLY for 5 minutes, and then walk for 5 more minutes. Stretch for 5 minutes before / after.

* You get the idea…

And if running isn’t your thing, try something else. The only that matters is that you move and use your body. There are a million ways to move the body! I bet you can find one you like :)

———

More philosophical / technical approach:

Treat it like a puzzle. You have a System in State A (your body and your current behavioral patterns).

How can we get the System to State B? Or wait, perhaps State C or D are just as good or even better! We just didn’t realize those were possibilities.

Consider dropping old assumptions. Experiment! Try different things :) What are different ways of interfacing or evaluating the system? Perhaps some of the old interfaces and metrics aren’t as useful or applicable to the current state?
Has anyone found any success with Claude or have any reason to use it?

In my tests it is nowhere near GPT 3.5 or 4 in terms of reliability or usefulness and I've even found that it is useless compared to Mistral 7b.

I don't understand what they are doing with those billions in investment when 7b open source models are surpassing them in practical day to day use cases.
Even without the lies, you can meet every single bullet point and still be a worse fit than someone who doesn't match every single bullet point.

Maybe the gal or guy who fits every bullet point has a long career and quite broad knowledge. Maybe the gal or guy who doesn't fit every single bullet point is much smarter, a much harder worker with far more grit, and a quick learner.

You end up hiring the first person who may be mediocre, and missing out on the second who may be a super high performer.

Following up on my own comment. Others also show changes to text-based code when changes are made to graphical-based [1], but I haven't seen any that allow working backwards, so that clicking or changing graphical highlights and shows how text changes. To me that would enforce how the two fit, rather than a one-way cause-effect.

Not necessarily. You must have those fast chargers conveniently placed on your route. I can't even imagine going to Vegas from LA with an electric car currently.

How is that obvious when you literally said, "there's no chance I'm working anything but BS jobs for random spending money"?

This is precisely my point. You didn't choose your job simply to avoid homelessness; it has nothing to do with homelessness, as you now admit. You chose your job to maximize your income.
Murder is illegal and has significant negative personal consequences. But lots of things are not illegal and thus can be done with non-social risk.
Right now, the only products I've seen leveraging LLMs are the tools from Nuance[1] that fill in physician notes. Arguably this is not an improvement; physician notes are already an incomprehensible garble of cut-and-paste content (often from other systems).[2] But at least it is unlikely to negatively impact patient care.

So far, AFAICT, the drive is to cut costs by saving the time the physician spends with the EHR. This has been a goal of the EHR systems for as long as they've existed as it saves money. There is a lot of press releases about products that do more but it's not at all clear to me that these products being widely used.

The UnitedHealthcare example in this article is interesting in that is was being used in production. OTOH, it sounds much more like something evaluating business rules or some heuristics rather than an LLM or even an ML based solution.

I consider myself more of a backend person but I feel I can deal with JS much easier than CSS. I learnt both in 15 yrs ago so compatibility with IE was crucial. Slap jquery on, stick to style guidelines so that variables are named consistently, avoid dependencies and it feels okish. There isn't anything like that to help with CSS though.

It could also be there is only enough profit for one, so the game theory equilibrium is zero. So Spotify could be the only player large enough for Sony to profitably encourage. Although that theory doesn’t account for them not giving the option of free music players written by hobbyists who don’t care about profit or labels but only serve indy content
Typescript is a huge improvement over JS, but I never use it. My rule of thumb is that if TS provides a tangible benefit, I have too much complexity on the frontend.

It's not that black and white. There's more at play than just charges. Things can be better and still shockingly corrupt, with extreme amounts of unjustified overhead. Things are minimally better for any individual patient, while being extremely more expensive, and the insurance overhead has skyrocketed.

The question is a little bit like responding to a complaint about industrialized agriculture's effects on the environment by saying "Would you rather eat sausage from 100 years ago or now?" It's not actually that relevant to the initial complaint, and it reads like it's trying to just terminate the conversation on a loophole. Things can be better and still also be filled with many problems, particularly modern problems that weren't relevant in the time period you're comparing to.

To actually answer the question honestly, it depends on my condition. For the kind of thing I would typically see my GP for, including run-of-the-mill checkups, definitely one from 50 years ago. For any serious medical issues, modern (as long as I can convince the doctors that it's actually serious so they spend more than 30 seconds on investigation).

As far as charges go, per-capita healthcare expenditure is now over 5 times as high as it was in 1980. Are we getting a 5-fold improvement in medical care? When I go to the doctor for anything more than a checkup, 90% of my time is spent waiting, and I spend twice as much time with RNs who repeatedly ask me the same questions, before a frazzled doctor comes in, asks a couple questions, then rushes out, maybe handing me a prescription for antibiotics regardless of what my concern is.
So, uh... I hate to break it to you, but payment processing is almost as monopolized as mobile app stores are. The fees are not as egregiously high as 30%, but they are still supracompetitive and eat up retailer margins. Payment processing even has similar censorship problems, as evidenced by the campaigns to defund porn companies by cutting them off of payment networks.
While I can see how it helps clear the bad image of the industry, the two are not directly related. The ETF was/is going to get approved regardless.
We don't have a free market in healthcare in the U.S. though. You can be for a free market and against the abomination we currently have. If we just went back to 80%/20%, high-premium-or-high-deductible proper insurance, no HMOs, no PPOs, no co-pays, none of that nonsense, with published pricing, then we'd have a free market.

> The drivers have to figure out how much the journey will cost which keeps down the server interaction/processing required per customer.

I don't think this makes sense. This seems like something difficult for people to figure out and easy for computers. I would think the cost of doing that calculation is pennies at most.

I would actually lean into the server processing. Have the drivers enter in their make/model, and a basic pricing algorithm (e.g. 10% over cost, or cost + $5 + 10%, or just $x/mile). The cost should preferably be "all in", including stuff like oil changes, wear and tear, depreciation, etc. When a customer requests a ride, they get automatic quotes from nearby drivers.

> The drivers have to figure out how much the journey will cost which keeps down the server interaction/processing required per customer.

This seems like an issue. If drivers don't have uniform pricing then they aren't fungible. As a user, if different drivers have different pricing, I expect to be able to be pick which driver and price I want. This seems at odds with drivers, who won't want to manually make quotes just to get turned down repeatedly.

Like I said before, I don't think that server processing is a significant cost. I would expect that these kinds of rough cost calculations could be done locally on the phone.
I don't mind credit bureaus as they ostensibly have a function.

However, the current model is so anti-consumer, it's not funny. EVERYTHING is tilted away from the consumer, the consumer technically has a right to dispute, but the process is a waste of your time most often, and magically, financial entities get to charge much higher rates when your credit isn't perfect.

Pay everything, and I mean, every. single. thing. on time, every time, for 3 decades. Get shafted by 1 business and that business slaps a collections on your report, -100 points, instantly, because fuck you.
