I have been doing the thought experiment about fair pricing of patents. My current values are like:

A patent holder declares the value he is willing to license the patent to any entity. Inventor can consider their EXPANSES while declaring the value, but not the approach “my idea cost me 0$ but is worth a billion “. Society should be willing to compensate for monetary investment, not just imagination. You deposit 1% of the declared value annually to maintain the patent. This one to discourage arbitrary value declaration. Any company wishing to license, pays you the declared amount. If 10 companies pay you declared value, I.e You have earned 10x return on your actual expense of innovation, patent becomes public domain. Society doesn’t need per product patent pricing sh*.

The numbers , 1% and 10x can always be debated. Overall seems good enough to encourage innovation and discourage trolling.

the claim is 'the system does not need any knowledge of platform-specific machine instruction encoding', but things like incrementing the upper 20 bits iff bit 11 is set seem uncontroversially 'platform-specific machine instruction encoding'

usually, and certainly to get the performance numbers they claim, things like scrambling the immediate bits and putting 20 bits of the immediate in one instruction and 12 bits in another are also considered platform-specific machine-instruction encoding, but you could imagine a system which supports sticking arbitrary bitfields in arbitrary places
I took the list my wife gave me of her Christmas present requests and asked it to extrapolate other ideas. It did so quite successfully.

I used it to generate a balanced list of who gets to open which advent calendar because we have five kids and stupidly bought five advent calendars. It worked really well until the littles started stealing candy.
I use to it check the tone of messages to my ex wife to ensure I’m not being too aggressive or combative.
I use it to help generate basic letters to people I don’t really care about but want it to be formalish. Ie the landlord of my exwife who threw out a bunch of the kids stuff when asking permission to get it from the trash after exwife had been evicted.
I’ve used it to help come up with silly ideas for kids story time at night.

I'm as much of an anti-Taylorist as anyone, but how do you even know whether emissions are reduced without measurement?

Reducing "consumption" (of what? measured how?) is probably impossible in a democratic economy - that's known as a recession and tends to cause a change of party.

This is not backed by any evidence while the opposite is shown in the referenced paper. Most ICE fires happen when parked according to actual data.
The UK has made good progress with renewables, but measuring from a peak 1970 the overwhelming majority of that is going to be down to the move away from coal. In 1970, most power generation and home heating used coal. Even cooking used coal gas. Oil and gas were found in the North Sea in the 1970s, the coal industry was killed by Thatcher in the 1980s and the privatised energy companies moved most power generation to gas during the 90s. The biggest remaining coal-fired power station (Drax) was converted to biomass in the past decade.
This reads a bit like an ad
Well, houses with gas stoves rely on gas. Households relying on gas likely make it less likely that other uses of gas are more accepted regardless of negative consequences.
>Goalposts moved!

I'm not the one who set that goalpost and I disagree with it because it's nonsensical. The market is not a binary between a $1000 Mk4 and a $200 Ender 3, period.

>You must mean high-end China, yeah? $2k doesn't sound like much when it comes to FDM high end.

No, I'm talking about hobbyist builds. Yes, you can drop a couple of orders of magnitude more on industrial printers but I was under the impression we were discussing the consumer space, unless you'd like to move those goalposts?

>Are you thinking that Prusa printers are a "hobbyist journey"? Because they're definitely an appliance. Not only that, they're an appliance that can be repaired with off-the-shelf parts for the most part.

That's not what I was saying at all. I was saying that if you're after the hobbyist journey, dumping $1k into a Mk4 doesn't make sense. That's money better invested in something that will ultimately be a better printer.

If you're after the appliance experience, the Mk4 is a worse option than a Bambu would be.

>While it does hinder them competing on price, it also grants them some flexibility to improve designs over time. Since the printer has printed parts, users can print the new/better designs if they want.

This isn't mutually exclusive.

Bambu has made revisions to the parts they send out of the factory. End users have made extensive modifications like the excellent Hydra AMS.

Being flexible doesn't mean locking yourself into low volume, expensive production.

>don't require any manual tuning by the user (just like Prusa.)

Not just like Prusa. Better than Prusa does. The machine calibrates itself for EM and PA for any arbitrary filament. This is a large part of the "produces better prints" equation.

>What about contributions to the 3d printing community?

Their slic3r fork is the basis for Orca Slicer, which has become my preferred slicer on non-Bambu printers.

>What about repair?

Bambu provides detailed repair guides for the entire machine in both text and video format:

https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/maintenance

>What about support (and I'm not talking about Prusa's chat/email)?

Nearly every part on the printer is directly available on Bambu's webstore and reasonably priced.

>Or will they instead want you to buy a whole new printer to get the latest whatever that they've lifted from the community?

Long term support remains a question mark but they've made promising first moves on that front. The P1 series have seen a number of upgrades since launch and the firmware for the X1 continues to receive significant firmware growth -- a completely new motor calibration routine got pushed out this month, for example. It's an unknowable at this point.
>> As a small shop, I am particularly afraid of trolls shutting us down overnight with basically no recourse.

I be more scared of non-trolls who own giant catalogues of patents. The giant companies will shut you down just as fast as any "troll". Try to invent any device with a touchscreen and an internet connection. It won't be trolls knocking on your door, but lawyers from Samsung, Apple and Microsoft.

Too bad the article doesn't cover the relationship with nutrient depletion. After all, nutrients taken up by their kelp won't make other algae grow. Given that ocean fertilization experiments have such big, unknown consequences (so that they are pretty much under memorandum), that would have been interesting to relate to.
OpenGL? I did the monkey too! But I did a simple software rasterizer... (No OpenGL, draw bitmap directly.)

I only got as far as point cloud (the wireframe without the wires, heh). Want to continue the project and add lighting and texturing eventually.

My "big insight" (shower thought) that gave me the confidence to do 3D is that you don't need linear algebra. You can do it all with trig! A 3D rotation is just three 2D rotations!

It won't be very performant, obviously, but I'll take "my toy renderer runs slowly" over "it doesn't exist because I am struggling with linear algebra for the 7th time".

It's a lot more fun doing things the easy way! Even perspective is one line of code.

The number of file descriptors you can have open by a single program is limited and eats up kernel resources.
Code is not mainly to be read by a person. It is a step to an executable artifact. It is read by a person mainly to modify that artifact. This trope that code is meant to be read is misunderstanding why you are reading it. One doesn’t read code as prose for its own sake. You read code as a means to an end. It is why we sometimes only read the documentation of libraries without reading the underlying code.
A lot of open source projects would die if it wasn't for the companies backing them.
My experience did not match your. My X1C combo hadn't really work out of the box. I was able to get maybe 2 prints so far.

That said, I am just an sample of one and the only reason why I bought it because my business need seems more pressing than waiting for Prusa to deliver the MMU3 kits.

Ask HN: Where do you host your Llama 2 model?
I'm currently hosting on AWS, but it's proving to be quite expensive, especially during the development phase. I'm actively exploring more cost-effective options as I'm concerned about the potential server costs once the project moves into production.
This is great! Never knew there was something specific existing as command runner except for arcane or programming-lang specific tools (i.e. Rake, the Cargo one, etc). I have been abusing Makefiles as command runners for years now.
Apple claims the use of 8GB on M chips is more efficient than Intel with 16GB, therefore needs less physical capacity to match functionality.

Remember AMD Athlon CPU versions? Athlon XP "Barton" 3200+, running at 2.2GHz was equivalent of an Intel running at 3.2GHz.

I never said entire retirement fund. Way to put words in my mouth. I mean having access to this at all is going to allow degenerate gamblers to have an avenue to spend on BTC and the contagion will spread further, like a self fulfilling prophecy.

Also, the halvening I imagine will be a very bad thing for miners, unless it’s guaranteed to double in price, miners are going to suddenly make less in value after the event occurs. Just because the halvening happened to behave a certain way in the past doesn’t guarantee future results.
>Almost all "programming" problems have been solved. Today's software is laughably inefficient not because we need better implementations of data structures, but because putting all those existing pieces together properly is a neglected discipline.

YES!

But You learn that writing low level code, not high level.

Writing Text editor, or even a compiler, you don't spend much time on algorithm optimization. You spend it on designing good abstractions. You are given basic tools, and have to come up with good architecture on your own. And because you are forced to use more levels then with pre-made libraries (that create the structure for you), you will see your mistakes much faster.
> My recommendation is this - decide if you want to make a company, or if you want to make Open Source. The number if places that have succeeded in both is vanishingly small.

The issue at hand is more about deciding how OTHER people/companies may or may not use your source-code to suit their own needs. If you decide Open Source, someone else can easily decide: actually, Company (and free labor to boot).

But to your point, in the long term, Open Source is a better prospect (for the people not the companies). Think of all the problems with crappy IoT devices and bad security practices. Many devices _could_ have decades of life left in them, only to be bricked because the companies want to sell newer crap instead (for the companies not the people). And on-and-on.

I think the whole idea of a new licensing model is a good starting point—like a forced NDA to keep a head-start. However, the same problem holds: nothing will prevent someone from stealing the source code either way—one license or otherwise—if it is freely available. But if there is a large community of contributors, the value prospect for everyone is huge.

And, to top it off: now with AI—how can we prevent an AI from rewriting the sources in a way that appears "nothing like the original"?

Also, it mentions no precedent, when REI started #optoutside in 2015 (and received a lot of positive PR). Now I wonder who did this before REI?

Even when Patagonia is closed, their items are being sold by other retailers, so it seems like a way smaller sacrifice than REI closing on Black Friday when it will lose sales to competitors. Patagonia's thirst for PR annoys me and detracts from their credibility (some of their products are pretty good though..).
Being able to talk to the model has been awesome for my conversational Spanish. I’m holding conversations and getting live corrections on my grammar.
I may be wrong, but my guess is the site makes its money off those 'promoted' search terms of most popular/most profitable items and the work needed for the long tail doesn't seem worth it for most teams.
Does any product feature that requires care and maintenance easily fit the model of delivering incremental value?

But for a search engine, showing incremental value should be easy if you have a real product reason to do it. If you expect search to help people find content, then you look at statistics on engagement --- in aggregate did people use search, does it look like they found what they wanted, did they return and use search again. In specific, which queries seem popular and provide good results, which queries seem popular and don't provide good results. You provide incremental value by moving queries from the second to the first category, where possible. If you can kind of classify some of the less popular queries, there's value in improving results for those too, but classification is also hard.

Sometimes the numbers are easy... I participated in an application of search where a support request hit the FAQ before submission --- if search works, there should be fewer tickets and especially fewer tickets where the user can easily solve their own problem. Search in a shopping context should lead to more sales. Etc.
A lithium-ion battery fire is not a lithium fire; the lithium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte is non-flammable. You're mostly right about the rest, but it's really important to note that it's not a lithium fire.

Lithium combusts in the presence of water, so fighting a lithium(not-ion) battery fire requires special care.
> no other asset acts like this

You say it like it's a bad thing?

The fact that Bitcoin behaves like no other asset on the planet is precisely what makes it interesting, worth understanding, and if you can stomach the volatility over sizable stretches of time, worth owning.

This was true (although hard to understand back then) on January 3rd 2009, 18:15:05h UTC and still holds true 15 years later.
ok, fair. i wasn't adressing the whole range, but merely pointing out that there is a subset of consumers who will only consider the initial price.

myself i do that for any product that i am not familiar with unless the running costs are evident. (so i'd buy a more expensive car that uses less gas, if i were in the market for a car) for someone new to 3D printers, running costs are not evident because i don't even know how much i'll use that thing.

TVs are an odd example because they don't have any running costs beyond how long they live before they break down, but even the cheapest lives long enough to make a more expensive one not worth it unless it has better specs that i care about.

I use it and mostly like it. It is excellent at being a WYSIWYG, markdown-first, stream-of-consciousness, note-taking application.

The plugin ecosystem is sparse/immature, and the special features like PDF embedding/annotating are not very usable. It is difficult to set up sync properly (I self host Nextcloud and usually have to resolve sync conflicts whenever I switch devices). There is an Android app, which works fine, but the integration with the Android system (e.g. creating a note from a "Share" dialog) is... obtuse.
I immediately thought your critique would be to use std::endl instead of '\n'

I was reading a lot of c++ core guidelines and modern c++ blogs and books while writing a little game a couple of years ago and std::println was definitely not the common suggestion for modern c++. I see it's probably because it wasn't even available at the time. Now I feel like I'd have to review everything that I thought was modern two years ago to confirm that it is still the modern way.
Imagine a torrent client (or http client downloading a file in parallel using HTTP range requests). It creates an empty file and then it has downloaded a 1MB of data to write at offset 100GB and wants to write it to disk. It does not want to pay the price of waiting for 100GB of zeroes to be written. The other blocks will all be downloaded and written eventually, all out of order. If the filesystem had an atomic operation to transform a bunch of (block aligned) files into a single file (like AWS S3 Multipart Upload), then sparse files would not be needed for this case.
Depends on how interested you are in discussion.

The best way to get a good answer on the internet is to make a false claim. The second best is to ennervate debate with something.

The point I’m making is that these kinds of macro economics statistics almost never actually reflect on the ground understanding of day to day life and even rarer give any meaningful insight.

Usually, however, they give a false sense of hope about the actual state of things if you go out into the market, and you look at savings rate that the Fed publishes, if you look at decreasing equity, because people are cashing out with no ability to put back into equity then a clearer picture forms.

I have an Obsidian Vault for my website, deployed via Jekyll. Obsidian is part of my current workflow for notes, documentation, and others, helping me write articles for my blog and other sites.

I chose Jekyll because Github has it by default and is supported by almost every other SSG service/platform, such as Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, etc.

This lets me write locally on Obsidian without running Jekyll to preview my website. Jekyll is slow, as I have over 1,700+ articles (last time I checked, even after pruning). I can look at other options, but that is not my focus, and I honestly do not care. I push it to GitHub, and eventually, in the next couple of minutes, it gets updated.

Right now, I'm on a slow experiment to separate the content (markdown / plain text) from the styling entirely. So, I can play around with the design and themes but leave the content. Akin to how I can move on and walk away from Obsidian if needed - a tool on top of my content.

To me, I feel that VitePress is lot cleaner, leaner, and simpler than Docusaurus - https://vitepress.dev

sounds like a very defeatist attitude.

for good software consulting revenue is not a function of how many bugs/bad UX there are- you consult on setup, integration,maintenance,etc. If the software improves the need for this does not disappear.

If you communicate clearly what the proprietary parts of the software are, it also shouldnt be an issue. If someone wants to implement and especially maintain and test them themselves without paying, they are free to fork and do that.
If you go into it fully aware expecting about $3000 every 6 years it's roughly $41 per month. That could include the system, the system refreshes, controllers, storage cards, game passes, online play, headset, etc.
> Apple is a consumer devices company and may not be able to justify a high royalty price and still meet certain consumer price points.

Do we know the total BOM cost plus the amortized cost of development & other expenses for an Apple watch ?

While I don't think one patent holder should get a major share of the available margins, I find it hard to believe that margins for Apple on smart watches are anywhere close to "thin".
You are right, sqlite is public domain and I fell victim to some echoes in my mind from the early days of the open source licencing theorizing when "pubic domain is not" was an important talking point, but I guess the thing public domain was not is compyleft (or one of its mostly overlapping siblings), not open source, the superset of everything not closed.

BNPL is unlocking a lot of opportunities for consumer engagement

(translation: buying something and paying for it are two different things)

also, the entire economy is now getting revved up for big rate cuts, which should allow consumers to further engage with traditional credit instruments, as well as opportunities for asset owners to unlock more value from rent/lease relationships

(translation: lower rates = your rent goes up...if you don't like it, sleep in your car)
