AFAIK this is not something that's seen with psilocybin, maybe with frequent high dose LSD... Anyway, I wish people didn't even bring this up because it'd be a shame if that dissuaded anyone to try psilocybin.
Let's be honest, at least 90% of people working there saw the board almost light their bag on fire and sided immediately with Altman. These people have one of the fastest growing web applications ever. If I was working there and the board put my equity at risk because of some super vague reasoning about safety and magical agi, I'd be pissed. I think if everyone here was honest with themselves, they'd be pissed at anyone putting life changing money in jeopardy.

>If a law is widely broken it's not really a part of the contract anymore.

so rising physical theft over the pandemic means that stealing is legal? School shootings are going to be legal in the US overtime? What a horrible model for a social contract.

>Profiting from ownership without working (free riding of its own) is a questionable and often questioned item of a social contract.

Sure. But fact is that CEOs do do a lot of work to direct companies. We can question if that deserve whatever their pay is or their competency, but I hope no one thinks CEOs literally sit around doing nothing all day. Can we at least agree that burning a company down to the ground takes a non-zero effort?
A minimal portion of the net worth of extremely wealthy individuals is spent on luxury items like yachts, bags, and cars. Most of their wealth is typically allocated towards savings or investments, which eventually leads to employment for many of the people in this forum.
Yeah, that's a good point! So many companies made so many products in like 2 or 3 years, and then the fad died and that was that.
I actually don't think so. A few points:

(1) We are in an era of massive investments, much more so than when Amazon started. The billion dollar plus fundraising round is increasingly common over time.

(2) An entrant does not need to operate the same as Amazon. The sharing economy provides a lot of alternative models. To give a fictitious example, connecting with existing rideshare vendors for delivery and a network of local stores for fulfilment could give a lot of the same product without the same investment. Ditto for existing logistics players like FedEx (who do a lot more than delivery).

(3) It's possible to start in different markets, and especially foreign markets. A company which could do this play easily might be something like Aliexpress which already has a leg in.

There are many more models possible too, but the point is that building Amazon today does not need to the same as building Amazon in the nineties. Even building the same Amazon would be cheaper today, since we can learn the lessons of the existing Amazon.
it's called cupping and we do it regularly. it's extremely easy to detect differences between coffees when tasting side by side. I roast my own at home, doing two batches of different coffees at a time, and try to compare them with each other as well as my previous batches. using grocery store coffee as a baseline is actually recommended as well.

I highly recommend doing a cupping sometime, it's great for learning what you like, you may discover something.
That assumes that you can already articulate the action you are looking for in the program's vocabulary. For people who think more pictorially, they may have a sense of what they want but benefit from visual cues.

It's very likely I just haven't tried hard enough, because I wasn't trying to do this I just expected it would happen anyway.

>“I want a car that will ‘win’ if I get in an accident”

That's not at all an American exclusive. I live in Europe and everyone parrots the same line when they justify why they're getting a SUV even though they live in the city and never go off-roading.

A work colleagues who just got a baby recently told me he had to get a SUV even though he wanted a sedan because his wife pushed for the SUV with the same argument: "I feel safer in one." What's a guy to do? Do you want to risk for your wife and child to "feel unsafe" because you're too cheap to buy your family a SUV? Same with my cousin, she just got a baby and pushed her husband to get a SUV for the same reason, so I'm definitely seeing a pattern in my circles as well as on the streets.

The estate/station wagon and the mini-van were the traditional vehicle of the family here but now SUVs and the jacked up cross-over abominations are flying off the shelves here. Just look at Volvo's UK line-up[1], it's 8 SUVs and 1 crossover. WTF?!

Justified or not, consumers are noticing this arms race, and manufacturers are more than happy to market and sell you bigger and taller cars for you to "feel safer" in, if you've got the cash.

What conditions? Your post ultimately does boil down to "companies realized that they can just raise prices and make more money". Completely absent from this narrative is a reason why they couldn't have raised prices earlier.

Of course there are reasons why: the supply shocks during the pandemic are largely resolved, but there's still pent up demand. That, and a massive influx of cash that enabled consumers to pay those high prices. But this isn't "greedflation" this is a completely expected outcome of interrupted production and a large increase in money supply: more money to spend, but fewer things to buy, leading to high prices.
There are, but that limits the number of people listening to one, I don't like the feeling of wearing headphones though, and I didn't want to lose sync with podcast/audiobooks either :)
It's merely a reminder that they didn't think of it first and aren't trailblazing anything.

There have been many community controllers but I believe MS was the first to try to make a real consumer product that serves disabilities without DIY stuff. Kind of an odd stunt and a tiny market, but it appears to have made some splashes.

Sure we can 'just be happy', but we can also acknowledge that Sony didn't care about it until Microsoft did something about it. Same as they didn't care about motion controls until Nintendo busted out the Wii. Both MS and Sony scrambled to put out motion shit the next few years.
The EU is not in anyway socialist. It’s a neoliberal Capitalist federation, explicitly so in all its founding documents and philosophy.
I wouldn't say streaming is more pragmatic; tracks regularly aren't available from well known artists (e.g. Pink Floyd or The Rolling Stones), and it's almost certainly cheaper in the medium term to buy discs, especially if you buy used. You can get CDs, DVDs, and even BDs for <$2 each from thrift stores or ebay. For $15/month, you can get ~90 CDs/year. Within 5 years, that's a sizable collection.

Of course maximal pragmatism would just be to download it. People are plenty willing to share for free, so paying is a form of idealism.
All that don't just have time ordered feeds, or feeds which are highly configurable by the user anyway. I guess mastodon doesn't fall under this category..

Also, since you mention civilian vs militant casualties, it might be worth mentioning that hundreds of the Israeli casualties on Oct 7 were Israeli soldiers.
I agree a discussion is unwarranted. Your comment is a personal attack with no substance.

(For reference, AWS was founded in 2002, and took some time before it made any sort of dent in much of anything.)
There in fact are. And I think it's silly how people always resort to physical metaphors whenever the digital realities inconvenience them. And vice versa.

Ditigal media isn't physical, and in this case the physical media was on a closed ecosystem and attached to a server to stream or at least check in to verify. You wouldn't need all this with a plain ol' DVD, but you got advantadeges in that that movie played on any PS device you logged into.

If you want DRM free digital media, don't buy the above.

In some sense yes, but more precisely they have successfully lobbied the politicians to pass laws in their favor.
I generally hate dealing with bluetooth headphones (extra non-replaceable batteries to die then die! Extra drain on your phone battery! Run a unique ID tracking beacon all the time! Have a fight every time you want to switch sources! Pay more for inferior sound quality!), but the difference between the no-names and the mid-tier brands is shocking.

I've used a couple cheap wireless earbuds all of which were _awful_, and some over-ear TaoTronics headphones that are bluetooth-or-wired which are pretty OK, but I decided to try going up a tier and got a pair of Anker Soundcore Space A40 earbuds on sale for a bit over $50, and their ANC is _fabulous_, their pairing only rarely does something frustrating (they'll remember two different devices, which helps), they're actually reasonably comfortable despite being a larger object supported from the ear, etc.

One thing I realized the first time I had them on a flight is that the _lack_ of a simple way to hook them to a standard 3.5mm source is limiting - it means they can't take over for as many tasks from a wired pair as they otherwise could.

On the topic of headphones for loud environments: I've had mine for several years, but Plugfones (I have their Guardian model) are also a worthy object; earbuds which are also ANSI S3.19-1974 29db NRR hearing protection. Really nice for both noisy environments and working with power tools.
It's how the Bazaar model of development works. You're free to join a Cathedral and follow their policies if you want.
Fair enough. I guess I'm just conditioned to see that almost nobody cares about accessibility and so I'm just happy to see a win no matter how small.
Can you say more about how Beeper is doing device attestation using ripped Apple device identifiers, or where you discovered that? Device attestation can be extremely user hostile, and if this is a true workaround it will be useful in other applications.
> The elephant in the room here is that software is incredibly expensive. Developing and maintaining a large project requires a large team of high salary software devs.

There's plenty of expensive, major open source projects that seem to have figured this out. The fact that Hashicop can't doesn't mean the model is broken, it just means Hashicorp aren't very good at this.

> Someone just using the software to resell in the cloud or rebranding it can instead put all that money and mental energy into marketing and ops.

It's not that simple. Once again, the "reseller" doesn't have control over the direction of their business. Which means they should always fail, long term, relative to the org that actually spends the money on controlling the development.

If you can't compete and outmanoeuvre someone who's simply slapping a label on your software, you probably shouldn't release your software under an OSS license.

> The company that does not have to maintain the software has a massive advantage. They’re freed from that burden.

I think it's pretty clear that we both take very different views on what maintaining and developing software means. You see it as a massive burden, I see it as an enormous advantage / opportunity.
But as I understood it's already established that many of the big initial training sets were highly biased, so it's a legitimate concern.

Can you share which hospitals were used as military bases?
yes, it's nuts
Totally. During the early months of the pandemic when NYC was hit super hard, Samaritan's Purse set up a tent hospital in Central Park directly opposite the main campus of Mt. Sinai which was a marvel to see, I would run and cycle past it nearly every day. Another of my common running routes took me past the USNS Comfort, docked at Pier 90, and the Javits Center, which hosted yet another modular hospital. Then a little later, a modular morgue on Randall's Island, which is now the site of a modular migrant encampment.

I later read that because of strict policies relating to a notion that only the "simple" cases, of which there were few, could be transferred, the temporary hospital facilities ended up underutilized. But the ability to surge capacity in a specific area is hardly constrained to parts of the world with fewer hospital beds. Public health crises and natural disasters in the USA are perfect candidates for this technology.

I hope we can test this quickly, and if it works, buy a bulk pack.
I bought the 1080p variant. It makes a great preview monitor for video signals, camera output etc.

To my read, the author sets up owning a Cybertruck up as the vehicular equivalent of owning an assault weapon: "A bulletproof three-and-a-half ton stainless-steel truck equipped with “Bioweapon Defense Mode” designed to slam through other cars is the perfect vehicle for a society where over a third of people are scared to walk around at night." Hard to support that without hearing from buyers, but I thought that was rather pointy.

>How do you stand on the idea that someone desperately poor, who cannot afford a text book that would be transformative to their life, pirates said book. Is that still immoral?

immoral, no. Unethical, yes.

That said, I'm glad libraries of all kinds (lending, little free, bookstore giveaways) help give more ethical access to such resources. You don't need the latest and greatest textbook to obtain knowledge.

With all that said, were talking about deluxe media, not foundational knowledge. why does the topic always shift to hyperole when talking about a song/movie/game being pirated? Are we really comparing pirating The Avengers (2012) to finding a way to learn arithmetic?
I mean, since this article is explicitly political and thoroughly interesting context I definitely have some criticism that I think should be stated here. I saw the film and it was very well made and enjoyable. A friend invited me and I didn't know anything about it before going in.

That said, there are clear problems with the political narrative in the film given it's supposed to be artwork. Making a film about redemption without in any way commenting on the evil atrocities you committed is extremely Japanese and morally dubious at best... downright propaganda at worst. Were the Japanese public and military rank and file the real victims of the war? Is it ok to pronounce the moral ambiguity of the top brass without commenting on the Holocaust-level crimes committed?

These things were glaring in the theater. And I know I'm going to get the standard "doesn't matter good film" responses for having an honest appraisal of the conceptual idea. But it's bad in that way. If we want to move into a brighter future we need both redemption and brutal honesty and this was only one of those things. Good popcorn film? Absolutely. Cultural artwork on a new level? Definitely not.

> they had enormous traction in the community because they were open source.

People don't adopt software only because it is open source. It also has to be useful high-quality software. Attributing the entirety of their success to a permissive open source license is nonsensical.

> Now they're trying to profit off that without reciprocating

Their products are still free to use and you can still read the code. They continue to improve the products. In what way are they not reciprocating? And considering this is a publicly-traded for-profit enterprise, why shouldn't they be able to profit off their work?

Unless your business is directly competing with them, how does the license change directly affect you?

Agreed. If I couldn't write my own packages for my OS and scratch my own itch, I'd never bother contributing to the big stuff.

The appeal behind libre software is the power to go your own way. If the only way to access it was to interact with groups and get your things added through a political process, I'd have found some other thing. Too much of our world is wrapped up in processes and busywork and other empty interaction, it's a waste of time.

Give me the code, the license, a text editor, and a nice cup of coffee, and I'm good. Hold the interpersonal drama. :P
> You mean worthless like those trillions of dollars worth of cash out there?

...which is getting used less and less in the developed world. In an increasing number of countries, carrying cash is a thing of the past, or done as a rarely-used backup.

> Worthless like anything people used to trade for thousands of years before credit cards arrived?

And which have fallen or are falling out of use when competing with systems that better serve the needs of the users. And safety from fraud and theft is a pretty big need.

> Oh, and there is no fraud prevention baked into credit cards.

Admittedly it's more bolted on than baked into (since the system is so old), but it most certainly is there.

> Sellers hate credit cards because they have to deal with all that fraud

Which doesn't mean there's not fraud prevention, just that it often fails. As it always will in every system, because it's a really hard problem. And a human problem, not a technical problem.

You get used to it as in "used to how CLI programs are usually designed". Just as you get used to what the select icon in a GUI does. Without any prior experience in any both seem like alien technology, but coming from GUI to CLI you have the bias of already knowing one when comparing.

People claim macOS is intuitive and everything works the same, but I'm handicapped in it. I just call it inexperience not being bad UX.

Regarding the manual, does GUI programs have a unified way to access guides and documentation? Can I scroll to the bottom with G and find the configuration files and example uses?
