Remember to keep their radars and CIWS running? Moskwa was sunken by two antiship missiles, hardly modern saturation threats.
Seriously: How is someone else going to diagnose you with it? If not self-diagnosed, how is it done? Do you think there is a test? And MRI generally isn't going to tell you this (this article was research on mice, after all) and even if it did, it would be fairly irresponsible to use up medical resources on something like this.

And sometimes, yeah, they might - especially with the way some folks describe it. It is very difficult to describe such things to other people who do not experience them.
> This is not the same as accurately predicting results, if the real-world weather function is determined by the weather of surrounding locations, time of year, and moon phase.

How many have the "human intelligence" to do this? Especially more accurately than a computer (and without using any themselves) training on the same inputs and outputs?

Pretty much all companies that care about making a profit and remaining viable offer loss leaders to build a customer base. I'm not saying that is what this is but it might be. I doubt the product would have been so widely adopted without the no cost notifications. It would be interesting to see how this affects the continued use by organizations as well as the adoption rate by new users.

That said I can't say enough about how solid and adaptable the core server product is. IMHO they have no competitors in this space. Sure there are other options that say they are open source but in reality they are all feature crippled open core distributions.

So yeah this is probably a bit of a setback for a segment of users and those affected will need to make some decisions going forward. Maybe at some point they will offer a reasonably priced a la carte version of just the notification service.
An estimated 1% or so of the population is suspected to have DID, and memory gaps don't exclusively work like "some identity knows the password but it's not me".

Thanks for amazing article
It is hard to imagine those things if I feel like I'm being treated very well already, including above market pay, excellent working conditions, and 100% of insurance premiums being covered by the company.

I can absolutely see the benefits of a union if I felt I was being paid below my worth, if I was dealing with poor work conditions, or had no company provided insurance.

Which is the point of this conversation, when things are bad, you REALLY want a union. When things are good, it's hard to see the value of a union.

It's not using your vision so there's no "overlay" as I'm assuming people expect.

Speak for yourself. Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't to others. This is a skill you might be able to develop, if you can visualize already. If you lack resources, you might visit various occult groups for tips. Visualisation is a big part of practice for some people.

Here's one.
In 2006, reddit was sold to Conde Nast. It was soon obvious to many that the sale had been premature, the site was unmanaged and under-resourced under the old-media giant who simply didn't understand it and could never realize its full potential, so the founders and their allies in Y-Combinator (where reddit had been born) hatched an audacious plan to re-extract reddit from the clutches of the 100-year-old media conglomerate.
Together with Sam Altman, they recruited a young up-and-coming technology manager with social media credentials. Alexis, who was on the interview panel for the new reddit CEO, would reject all other candidates except this one. The manager was to insist as a condition of taking the job that Conde Nast would have to give up significant ownership of the company, first to employees by justifying the need for equity to be able to hire top talent, bringing in Silicon Valley insiders to help run the company. After continuing to grow the company, he would then further dilute Conde Nast's ownership by raising money from a syndicate of Silicon Valley investors led by Sam Altman, now the President of Y-Combinator itself, who in the process would take a seat on the board.
Once this was done, he and his team would manufacture a series of otherwise-improbable leadership crises, forcing the new board to scramble to find a new CEO, allowing Altman to use his position on the board to advocate for the re-introduction of the old founders, installing them on the board and as CEO, thus returning the company to their control and relegating Conde Nast to a position as minority shareholder.
JUST KIDDING. There's no way that could happen.

>"I agree with this. B-trees vs hash indices, I/O hierarchy, process model, etc."

I'm familiar with all of the concepts in the context of databases except "process model." Is this the same as data model? Could you elaborate if not?
Problems that AI can easily solve will hopefully be the more tool-like problems, while humans can think about the more abstract.
So in other words, the US military stand-in failed the first iteration of a war game. In real life, there's really going to be only one iteration, and you don't get do-overs because the the enemy does something "unexpected." The US military doesn't have a monopoly on doing unexpected things. I would fully expect the Houthis to do things that are very unexpected; it has very much been their track record.
Pricing per seat is a better model for all parties.

- It's more predictable for the business (you can model what you'll pay in advance), so the business can model their total expenses and make a budget. I don't see how a customer could accurately predict how many mobile notifications per month they're going to generate for a product they're not using yet -- it depends on the personal preferences of every employee what notification settings they choose. Any business with a procurement function is going to look very skeptically at unpredictable costs.

- It's more predictable for us -- metered per notification would have all sorts of weird seasonality.

- A per-notification fee would have perverse incentives for us, like "we made the product really spammy with push notifications and it doubled our revenue". We would try very hard to resist that, but incentive structures are powerful, and we want our financial incentive to be to maximize the number of people who are happily self-hosting Zulip, not some other weird metric.

- A per-notification fee would have perverse incentives for the business, like the manager asking people to toggle their settings to save money rather than to choose the settings that make them most productive.

Are you using Zulip exclusively for paid team members in a first-world country? It's hard to imagine this pricing being a significant expensive if you are.

If not, check the sponsorships and discounts section of https://zulip.com/plans/#self-hosted

You have the right to remain silent. Non-cooperation is not an offence.
>Especially if you are going to backproject India (a country founded in 1947) to 700 ad.

Ah, the idea that a nation couldn't possibly exist until it got modern statehood (as opposed to being "a country founded in 1947") or is just a perfectly homogeneous blob (as opposed to "composed of hundreds of distinct cultures".)

Sorry, but neither are requirements for there to have been an India - or China, or any other such examples, for millenia. They first is just the modern form of statehood that emerged after the era of nationalist.

India was a nation way before 1947 and before the brits got the fuck out. And I'd argue was also a country, just one under occupation, as opposed to a sovereign one with externally recognized statehood status.

So there's that.

And if "the European conquest of the Americas" isn't exactly immigration, the European settlements in the country we now call US were called and described as exactly that, of innocent "pilgrims" and "persecuted minorities" too. Still they didn't do the native "indian" populations any favor.
But now do the math for not blocking ads.

If you understand the fourier transform, you should have some idea of its inverse. And that's exactly how (one part) of compressing an image or audio works.

You take a signal, take its fourier transform, and then cut off the frequencies above some threshold you don't care about (I'm ignoring certain complicating factors for simplicity). Let's say your original signal has frequencies up to 22KHz. If you're only interested in moderate fidelity human voices talking, maybe you cut off everything below 100 Hz and above 3.4 KHz. You just toss that information. Then on the receiving end, you do an inverse DFT and reconstruct the signal.

JPG and MP3 do something like this, along with a pile of other tricks.

> most people use WhatsApp

I only know of one person who uses WhatsApp and it's to keep on touch with folks in Brazil. No one uses it here, from what I can see, and no one has offered to share WhatsApp ever.

The ease with which you suggest yeah everyone can just use an obvious easy to agree upon other central alternative is so facetiously ridiculous and painful. Everyone has a mish-mahs of preferences & existing accounts. It not just that you've deeply shirked what the actual switching costs are (since everyone will pick different things), it's that having these crazy anti-cirumvention laws is stupid, that not having adversarial Interoperability like what Beeper is doing is a sad corporate lichdom sucking the lifeblood of what should be the most vibrant sector of our age: communications technologies. Babel fell, and these merchants of disconnection have been keeping us from communicating with each other ever since, to make a couple more sales. Vulgar pieces of anti-human garbage, just disgraceful.

Shutdowns are rarely sudden. Companies aren’t going to be public about their financial struggles unless they’re legally obligated to do so. I imagine that Notable have been facing the same slowing investor interest and increased interest rates that most of has for the better part of at least a year.

So it’s likely that the only sudden thing about this, is that they now failed to secure anymore money after a long struggle. Some companies may give customers a little longer to get off the sinking ship, but if you’re just looking at the cost, it probably wouldn’t make much sense to do so instead of running on fumes (and hope) for as long as possible.

Sucks for the employees though.
Simple life is probably fairly common. But intelligent life that's reached a technological level such that we would notice them is probably pretty rare. It could be that we're the only ones in this galaxy that are currently at this detectable level and the distances to other galaxies is just too far to be able to detect those that might in other galaxies.

I am also curious if there is a succession plan in the event that anything should happen to Wietse Venema.
Sadly true - I majored in math in college and had no plans of going into a programming-heavy job, so I was able to take fun “applied” CS classes like a “language grand tour” or physically based rendering, but skip core classes with those pressures like algorithms etc. entirely.
Can you elucidate why specifically?

I'm imagining something like an GPT-4 agent that has connections to your Databricks, Snowflake, Salesforce, etc.

You ask it a question and then it iteratively queries your data and produces some an answer/some code/ a graph. Or it generates a plan that you can edit a bit and then it executes.

That sounds like it would be pretty useful copilot for me? I'm not very familiar with the intricacies of analytics work though.

Why would you assume that everyone has the same mental capacities as yourself just because you can't imagine having an ability you lack? Have you never hallucinated, day dreamed or become aware that you're dreaming? How about visual memories? Because even if you can't will yourself to imagine a visual object, you can see them in those other cases. It means the same thing as seeing an external object, except without the external source. Your brain creates a visual experience independent of a visual sensation/input from the eyes. There's also ways to induce this with electrodes and magnetic resonance applied to the visual cortex.
Yes, I worked on a distributed analytical database that only supported bulk appends (no transactions). I think there are quite a few OLAP databases like that. You don't really need the ACID properties at all for bulk appends, just idempotence.
It's partly a matter of venue - union members reduce their demands to easily chantable slogans on the picket line. That's not what they do when negotiating with management.

I assume you are talking about MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail. He wasn't criticizing the moderation of their language but the moderation of their ideas. He was famously a practitioner of a kind of radical moderation himself - the notion that a pervasive system of oppression supported by state-sponsored violence can be successfully resisted and overcome by nonviolent means. If one can accept that (despite the fact it clearly 'favors the party doing harm'), expressing one's views on a random nerd messageboard without bombast and fulmination hardly seems like an unreasonable burden.
Inserting the abstract verbatim is very far from ideal. That would usually cause you to repeat a lot of information from your own paper's introduction and then fail to hone in on the precise reason you're citing the paper.

Just my two cents for two trends I recognize: First, the ongoing unification of mobile and desktop UI, where the mobile users win features but the desktop users loose functionality. Large buttons or hamburgers instead of classical menu bars are outcomes of this trend.

Second, there is a re-terminalization in developer land. Microsofts product line, from PowerShell via Term and MS Visual Studio Code is a good demonstrator. They tend to be controlled only by keyboard commands ("one big search bar") which can be super fast for power users but is also typically not very accessible. Interestingly, strong keyboard focussed interfaces never left in professional tools such as CAD (or think of Blender).
Author might be right about the gradient shifts in images after conversion, but at the same time, most of the websites are not using such color accurate images everywhere. Some are logos and some are with alpha channel. It is a fact that WebPs are lightweight assets to load on the user side which reduces bandwidth consumption for the user and your server. So use WebP where it's needed to save some loading time and bandwidth and use your preferred format where you want to show images as is.

If you're planning to convert your images to WebP in bulk, I wrote a shell script: here's the link:

Hope this is helpful, as i don't really answer your question about data. My context - I'm a founder, I raised a decent sized round from a good fund.

I've never met an investor who wanted data on competitors or the "market" or opportunity or whatever. They'll want to know that you know about it, but through experience not research.

At seed stage they're mostly investing in you as a person. What you need is a story, not data, in my opinion.

Happy to help if you've got specific questions about raising / how to talk to investors.
> Almost every major complaint or feature request I can think of from the last decade or so of using Discord has been addressed in some way,

A feature request I've seen from many people over years, which Discord haven't implemented, is the option to make public channels readable and searchable on the web, or make the data easily exportable for projects to put it on the web themselves.

These days many open source projects and companies use Discord as their meeting place for public discussion, development discussion, support queries etc, instead of the web forums and mailing lists they used to use. The inability to find the content of those discussions from search engines is a major pain point, though not enough to switch to something else because Discord is so good in other respects.

There’s always the expensive option:

Open a trust with a major bank to preserve that website and fund it with a long term annuity or investment, with instructions on how to execute it.

Not perfect of course, as trust firms and banks also fail — but I think that’s the best chance to reach 50-100 years after death.
