I have a hypothesis I'd like feedback on:

Per-stream rates are actually similar to the per-listen equivalent for CDs, and the revenue difference is because listeners have different behavior now that music is less scarce and is a la carte.

In the CD era, artists earned more revenue because listeners had to buy whole albums, even if only a few of the tracks were worth listening to.

People also listened to fewer artists, because listening to something new was expensive.

Some napkin math:

Say a CD costs $18, the artist gets 6.6% of that, it has 12 tracks, and you listen to the whole CD 30 times while you own it. That gets you $0.0033 per track listen.

(Thinking of how I listened to CDs twenty years ago, an average of 30 listens feels like an okay estimate. Some albums more, some less.)

Gizmodo reports Spotify pays $0.003 per stream.

While there's some wiggle room in my CD calculations, I don't think they're off by e.g., 10x.

Sam Altman at the APEC conference, taking part in a panel, along with Google and Meta AI people. Actually, it's quite amusing hearing Google exec define AI as Google translate, and Sam's response to that. https://youtu.be/ZFFvqRemDv8?t=770
People have varying definitions of art. Mine is more about communication and changing perceptions, I couldn't care less about time spent. I know artists from both camps.
Had a problem like that while porting an IEEE 11073 parser library to Emscriptem. Funnily enough, the code worked happily in x86 and ARM environments, but failed in Emscriptem.

> "I need to hire people I don't want to work with, so I have someone to fire in the next stack rank". And that's its own form of fat.

There's a great long-form article on this called "Microsoft's Lost Decade."
I feel like having so little control over your emotions should be an instant rejection from any management position. Swearing angrily in any professional setting is just ridiculous.
I've put in two weeks notice a couple times. It's polite. It's not loyalty to the company, it's loyalty to my colleagues, and the opportunity to close out a chapter of my life with finality. It lets me say goodbye to people on my team, finish up projects which, for personal pride, I want to leave in a good place, and document things I've done for the people who will pick up my work. I could care less how it affects the company, but to the extent that I care about my own work, I don't want to just abandon it. The reality is that, if other people don't give two weeks notice, I understand, and I'm not mad at them. And sure, the company would not afford their employees the same respect, but then I don't expect them to behave with decency. I know how it works. But, it feels like the right thing to do for me.
solar - nuclear is always on

wind - nuclear has a small defined footprint and doesn't kill animals

geothermal - nuclear can be built anywhere

nuclear - is safe and effective
Or `\rg`, which will use the command directly and skip your alias.
Is this the sentiment around?

Is having everything normalized in your system that worth it? I would say having (some) duplicates in your system is mostly fine, better that having some spooky-action-at-a-distance break things when you don't expect.

I expect the future is something like Windows's WinSxS, NixOS's /nix/store, pnpm's .pnpm-store where that deduping isn't "online" but it still is somewhat automated and hidden from you.

How the Occupation Fuels Tel Aviv's Booming AI Sector
Go ahead and buy the land & oil rights to a large oil reservoir if you want to cash in on this hypothetical program.

Paying off the oil companies in this way means the end of the oil companies. They get a one-time cash infusion but that's it, no recurring revenue. Then no more oil companies to lobby against climate change. It's the only non-revolutionary route left, probably. Oil companies aren't just going to stop pumping oil and stop throwing the government around.
The article (main body) describe what the government can do

the bill of rights (the first ten amendments) describe what the government can’t do

because the government frequently tries to violate the first ten amendments you hear about some of them a lot, and the people feel they have to make it their whole identity to defend some of those rights
That is what should be done, but it’s becoming rare. Bangerter Highway in Utah comes to mind as a good one. I know Colorado is a state big on vision zero policy, where if you go the posted speed you will hit every single light.
Mediocrity is a good thing in the context of commodity goods. To use the author's example, you CAN still get unique custom made shoes and still buy hand-grown heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market. The shoes will cost you $1,000+ and you'll pay a couple of bucks a tomato - prices which adjusted for inflation haven't changed since such practice was the only way people got shoes and tomatoes, and they got a lot less of them.

Mediocrity and mass-production have made shoes and tomatoes accessible to everyone at far lower cost, and are not inherently bad.
Do you mean a five year vesting schedule or a five year cliff before you start vesting. The former is...bad, but I don't think I've seen the latter. That's just...no, absolutely not.
Well, presumably you'd only get paid to not-drill if you otherwise had the drilling rights? So if you bought the rights to extract from an oil field in Alaska or the Gulf, you could get paid not to use them. That seems reasonably coherent to me, although maybe I'm missing something big.

That said, I think I also prefer the idea of achieving these goals by tweaking the price of carbon. But again, maybe I'm missing something.

I read an article that suggested the government buy oil companies in order to manage their decline. Obviously nationalizing an industry is a huge deal and a pretty drastic step, but the argument seemed reasonable and if more lightheaded attempts to solve the climate crisis continue to fail I don't think that should be off the table.
Exactly this. “Are you willing to kill another human? No? Sorry, there’s no place for you in the infantry”
In my experience this leads to the realization they don't have meaningful low beams at all. Just high beams and higher beams.
One Man's Nearly Impossible Quest to Make a Toaster from Scratch (2011)
In both of those cases the problem is not problem with floating point arithmetic but the parsing of floating point literals, or rather how systems take input and then substitute it with something different quietly behind the scenes. None of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 are true (binary) fp values. Nobody would be surprised that

0.1000000000000000056 + 0.2000000000000000111 != 0.2999999999999999889
The fundamental errors of this are:

* It is hierarchical.

* It sorts by file type, not by namespace.

Carbon offsets seem like a great comparison to the way recycling ended up working out for us. Instead of actually doing anything helpful, companies began trying to make money doing everything but actually recycling the stuff. The recyclable plastic became a product to buy and sell until it got far enough removed from the people initially tasked with recycling it that it was cheaper to dump it in the Ganges River or some other place companies don't care about.

Good on them for following up to try to do something that actually works or at least attempts to solve the issue rather than "We bought carbon tax credits and now it's someone else's problem to figure out how to offset that much carbon."
Of all the ex-FAANG people I've worked with, I've found the ex-Amazon ones to be, by a wide margin, the least impressive group.

I'm not huge fan of Google, but will readily admit that, on average, the ex-Googlers I've worked with have tended to be great engineers and very sharp people.

So, at least from that anecdote, there does seem to be a difference in each of these hiring filters.
As a longtime VW forum guy, those issues are mostly from people not knowing what they are doing and usually involve extensive water damage to the electrical harness- that can be prevented with proper maintenance. For example, there was a design flaw in some of the coolant reservoirs that cause coolant to leak into the wiring harness. If you know about this, you can look for it and catch it early or prevent it.

And for roles at companies with very quantifiable outputs--like sales for example--the approach at a lot of companies is not to sweat the hiring process too much and just let go people who don't make their numbers (whether it's really their fault or not). Someone I knew's shorthand for this was that sales managers have no trouble firing people.
The funniest thing about Spotify was that so many people stopped downloading illegal content because all of a sudden they could legally pay for it and support artists. Now it looks like that supposed deal was a sham and the money doesn't make its way to the artists just the distributors and middle men (classic tech move).

And yes, best way to support artist is live shows that aren't run by Ticketmaster.
I bet they're leaving out freight shipped on water.
It occurred to me the other day that there are (at least) 3 different meanings when referring to the value of a work of art:

* Aesthetically pleasing - often there is a traditionalist idea that only landscapes and portraits are 'real' art, and everything else is rubbish

* Financially successful - the market sets the price of a work, and that is the value, no matter what your personal idea of it

* Emotionally affecting - if the work is moving in some way, or you get something from it, then it has value

Unfortunately, people using different definitions of value here will likely never agree when these values clash when considering a work of art.

I guess this is a long-winded way of saying that I reckon some people have just defined generated images (or partly generated) as 'not Art' so will never accept them. I know I have changed how I think about some art/artists (such as single-colour painters like Rothko) from 'this is bad' to 'I don't care for this, I see that others do'.
Most of the civil rights embedded in the constitution come from amendments and not the main body of the text, which mostly just describes the structure of government.

The first ten amendments (collectively, the Bill of Rights) were written and passed specifically because the lack of guarantees of civil rights was called out during debates of ratification, and a few states only agreed to ratification with the understanding that a Bill of Rights would be passed. Beyond those amendments, several more amendments also aimed specifically to identify more civil rights that needed constitutional guarantees of preservation; it's actually shocking how few amendments are geared towards altering the structure of government itself.
My point is that "Truck buyers cannot afford machines that get between them and earning their livelihood" is incorrect as stated because it implies that owning a truck is essential for earning their livelihood. Some truck buyers, sure, but not nearly all truck buyers. I'm guessing not even most truck buyers.
I can tell you Indian new graduates interview very well. They grind years on these DSA puzzles. But have very little engineering knowledge or skill in general.

It's all about gaming the system here.

I have literally seen people justifying lying on the resume, by feeding the job description to ChatGPT and let it come up with a resume.

Yet, there's not much influential software coming out of India, where leetcode hards for graduates are the norm, but these graduates don't understand what a virtual machine is.

On the other hand I have seen prolific open source contributors in the same age bracket (they contributed not to some web design project, but very much used cloud / system software) struggling to get a job, because they didn't do enough "DSA".

I am not saying people of my country are dumb. Quite the contrary.

I am saying when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be good measure.

That's the case with leetcode problems.

It selects for people who can grind through it. Not the people who have other interesting things to do.
This is not on the managers. This is HR gone wild. Most managers close to the frontline understand perfectly well what an incredibly stupid idea this is.

I have written much more, more like 20, but not everything is still available. Then with a few books I ran out of motivation, so they just sit in my archive.

Yeah. I read that as the manager taking away their ability to beat the PIP under the guise of “focus.”
Also, while the most egregious part might be cancelled, these type of bills often still bring along their slightly less bad, but still fairly ugly brothers.

So private message scanning is off the table, we now just save meta data and build a communication graph for every citizen for the last 10 years.

No idea if this bill includes such laws, but that is usually the strategy to get people distracted.
I left a company years ago because I didn't feel I was a good fit for the team/project - skills/goals/etc. But wasn't allowed to leave because it would hurt the image of the team to be seen to have people leaving it for other teams. But... apparently, leaving the company altogether doesn't affect the image (and yes... I've left the team, and people internally knew why, so... how does it really save face?)
Yeah, that was a risk I was willing to take by disclosing my disability. So far it doesn't seem like it made anything worse, but it hasn't made anything better either.

On the occasions I'm using MacOS, this is what I reach for too. It works quite well, I agree.
Don't let nostalgia get in the way of opportunity. The Coliseum and Arena should be torn down as soon as contractually possible, replaced with a dense, walkable, mixed-use neighborhood with improved BART and Amtrak access (maybe a streetcar/tram loop that connects?).

I use Yabai on my work laptop and I'm not very impressed. Maybe I've just been spoiled by my Linux setup, which has had years of tuning, but it feels like a poor imitation of a tiling wm. I get that OS X makes it harder to fully control the experience the way you can under X, but still..
And if that is what users want, then those tracks will get a lot of plays, and by extension payment.

Shorter tracks would also mean users have more opportunity for listening to a variety of songs/artists. A single user can only listen so much in a day (capped at 24 hours, and more likely 12 hours if they aren't doing some kind of phantom streaming). This would then ultimately dilute the payments to artists releasing a large number of shorter tracks.
Hilariously the Forbes article notes that they weeded her out from the 30 under 30 list, maybe they just forgot that they then put her face on the _front cover_ instead!
Depends on your definition of winning - special-purpose tuning is vastly more cost effective since it allows you to train a smaller model that can perform specific tasks as good as a bigger one.

A good analogy is building a webapp - would you prefer to hire a developer with 30+ years experience in various CS domains as well as a PhD or a specialized webdev with 5 years experience at a tenth of the rate?

Yes, managers do. This article is about a manager who got PIPed. From the article, "So my manager took away all my direct reports, and shoved me into a small box, and said you could do this and try to work yourself out of it."
I know you are getting downvoted but the real question is: What is a manager's job? If it is not to code, not to understand systems, not to design, not to coach, not to help the team - what is it exactly?
It has many unique features over other browsers. To begin with, it is zero telemetry by default. It is also the fastest browser on Mac as measured by Speedometer. And it supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions, in a WebKit based browser. This should be a good start.

As an IT professional for most of my life, I am very familiar with documentation and the benefits thereof. However, I never had given this idea any thought. What a great idea!

I will probably create this as a wiki or github for my home with markdown files. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers!

Artists of TS' popularity can cut side deals with Spotify, same way Spotify cuts deals with Google Play to play less than what other app developers pay. Also, I think TS owns her record label and the master tapes, so royalties would accrue directly to her company.

Well, that's the beauty of it. I don't need skills anymore. In the future, anyone spending time acquiring "skills" will be falling behind.
I expected to like Powershell when I began working somewhere with a lot of Windows (after decades of mostly Linux). I figured on paper this sounds like it has learned many important lessons that Unix shells could learn but (at least the popular ones) didn't, it's been given a blank canvas, the principles it's working to make sense, it has good people behind it. So I even undertook to write a modest new piece of glue code in Power Shell, after all if it had been on Linux I'd definitely consider the Bourne shell as well as Python for the work...

Then I tried it and I strongly dislike it. The syntax is clunky, it's really no better than popular Unix shells at being a "real" programming language, and yet it's not as good as they are at being just a shell either.

It also just doesn't feel like a quality product. On my work Windows laptop, Powershell will sometimes not quite bother flushing after it starts, so I get the banner text and then... I have to hit "enter" to get it to finish up and write a prompt. In JSON parsing the provided JSON parser has some arbitrary limits... which vary from one version to another. So code which worked fine on machine #1 just silently doesn't work on machine #2 since the JSON parsers were changed and nobody apparently thought that was worth calling out. If you told me this was the beta of Microsoft's new product I'd be excited but feel I needed to provide lots of feedback. Knowing this is the finished product I am underwhelmed.
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix that! Here's a screenshot which might help you https://imgur.com/HlmOoK4
