This is the way. As more and more ai is adopted, company and private data becomes more exposed. Businesses' intelligence getting stolen and shared with others is a no go for many rational business people. Self hosting is the way if you wish to keep your secrets. People too - you don't want your personal pictures, emails, and messages leaking into someone's prompt.

Women on average make larger financial sacrifices in marriage, taking on unpaid labor in the home rather than paid work outside the home at a much higher rate than men. In this sense they may be financial “winners” in case of divorce, to the extent that courts award them a portion of the accrued assets earned by their partner outside the home. As discussed elsewhere in this thread, the unpaid labor women disproportionately do generally does not accumulate anything that can be taken with them in case of separation.

Most men don’t fight for custody of their children in divorce. When they do they are almost always successful at getting at least joint custody. See e.g. WaPo [1].

I donate monthly to five Patreons. One of them is LineageOS ( https://www.patreon.com/LineageOS ). Two of them are community spaces. Two are podcasts, only one of which I listen to. I really only get Patreon benefits from one of the five (I get each podcast). Some tech-related, some not.

I subscribe to one Twitch feed. Actually the main Twitch feed I watch is one I do not subscribe to. I also sometimes watch other Twitch feeds, like John Romero's, or notch, or another random programmer who livestream codes. Again, some tech-related, some not.

Generally I subscribe on Patreon and Twitch more to be supportive than to get something, although I do appreciate I get podcasts from one of the podcasts I subscribe to.
Right now: assembly only. I don't really know compiler internals so it's an uphill battle.
It's absolutely true that the real problem in the US is our public transit (and by extension basically all post-WW2 buildings and infrastructure) situation, but if I'm just a guy running a software company, there doesn't seem to be much I can do about that. Hence all the hand-wringing about remote work.

I work VERY remote (my employer is in Austin, I live in Michigan), so public transit isn't really an option for that arrangement, but if I'm honest the only real reason I'm doing it is because of Austin housing prices -- I'd much rather live in an urban core within walking distance of work, but that lifestyle is unimaginably expensive in all the places where jobs exist. Instead, I have an aging 1940s tract home in a city 2k miles from work.

The housing crisis is also a transit crisis. We built most of our homes and businesses around the cheap automobile and infinite petro-energy, with the predictable result that we can barely afford to live near the places we work.
Is that real time? Does it have to be?

So because it's "difficult" for ChatGPT to pay people for what it ingested we need to change our entire economic model to accommodate their inability (I'd argue it's the lack of will) to solve this problem?

Imagine a scenario where your employer decides that it's going to go plant trees to save the environment, a laudable goal, in lieu of your paycheck. Their excuse would be "it's too difficult to process payroll and easier to plant trees. Since planting trees is good for the environment by the transitive property it's good for the employee. Thus, they should be happy."

Reading your comment brings back memories and old knowledge hidden away in deep memory.

This might be due to a slightly different era and/or market, but I recall in the WAP and i-mode era, 50/50 would’ve been amazing.

More often than not, you’d be lucky if you got 30%, and you’d brag if you’d get 40%. In most cases, you’d be left with a measly 10%, and none of it included payment processing, which ate up a few percent more.

The worst part wasn’t the revenue split, though believe it or not, it was negotiating with multiple carriers over every little thing, and it could take months to get things going.

Discoverability was a bit better in this era than what you describe because carriers would have a little directory in which they listed apps. Of course, being listed in this directory, especially in a helpful way, would eat up more of your revenue share.

Carriers were also acting in a dirty way. If something was wrong and a customer complained, they’d charge you a refund but wouldn’t pass it along to the customer. Essentially, telling the customer they’re SOOL while telling the developer to pay up because their app didn’t work and then pocket that money.

The barrier to entry was also high and costly. Developer tools were shit, as you said, and the pipeline from development to sales was nearly non-existent.

So yeah, of course, in comparison, Apple was some kind of utopia, not despite the 30% but because of it, not to mention how hassle-free it is and, like you said, the excellent tools provided.
I genuinely like Xcode despite the hate it gets, and I’d say that it’s been significantly improved over the last decade or so.

Similarly, the improvements and development of frameworks in the last couple of years are tremendous.
I’d say all of it is well worth the 30%, but at the 15% I’m at now, it’s close to a steal.

Without exaggeration, the latest developments in frameworks really make my life easier, and some of what I do wouldn’t even be possible without it.

The framing around the commission is starting to irk me the wrong way.

In part because these big developers such as Epic, Spotify, and the like claim to speak for me, to make it look like they fight for “the little guy” and drum up support when they plainly don’t.
Their interests and mine are miles apart and only marginally overlap and, in some cases, contradict each other.

In part, it is also because the effective rate for most developers is 15%, regardless of Apple’s motivations behind that discounted rate.

15% in exchange for the low barrier of entry and the solid tools that allow you to spin up an app and publish it on the App Store within a day or two is a pretty solid deal, in my opinion.
At HPE, it's $3000.00 per patent, for each author.
Seems like in general, money is directed towards leverage, and that leverage can be either a carrot or a stick. Positive leverage is providing value to others - a product that's priced according to how much people want it (unfortunately this is orthogonal to how much effort is involved), so you have leverage to demand cash in proportion to that; negative leverage is someone simply able to demand money from you, for various reasons, in various ways, with various types of possibly-physical leverage.

I don't think that's a capitalist thing to say, it just seems to be in the nature of game theory. Building something technically difficult doesn't really have any bearing on how much value can be demanded in return.
I remember going to Code::Blocks ( https://www.codeblocks.org/ ) once Dev-Cpp started to become obsolete. I wrote a bunch of small games using CodeBlocks.

> AI is able to detect cancer 4 years earlier than a doctor traditionally would.

Which "AI" ?

Which "cancer" ?

What's the false positive/negative rate ?

Regardless of all that, if it detected it 4 years earlier it means it happened at least 4 years ago and have nothing to do with the LLM hype gp's criticising.
Isn't that just specific parts, rather than the whole thing?
it's 4021 apple, because it has a sticker. So you try to scan tiny barcode (if one is present, you can see it on bananas) but if it's missing or dirty, you enter 4-digit PLU by hand. It's very simple and fast:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/so-thats-what-those-stickers-...

but yeah, if your store has no number stickers and multiple types of apples I can imagine self-checkout being a major pain. (I can think of a few ways to make this easier -- like provide a roll of stickers next to each variety so customer can attach them to the bag themselves -- but I've never seen this implemented)
As soon as we are post scarcity, we don't need capitalism any more

If you compare agriculture 1000 years ago with agriculture today, we're already in post scarcity. I suspect the game theoretic mechanisms will keep it going for awhile yet.
It's important to make the distinction between:

- Twitch is losing money because the costs of running the platform are higher then the revenue

- Twitch is losing money because they're aggressively investing in growth

if you want to know about the viability of the concept, I'm not sure which one it is, video streaming and small payment processing could both be quite costly
i will not talk of the subject as i dont know enough of it.

but in science, there are no authorities. and there is no consensus.

the only thing that matters is truth. numbers, facts, and logical demonstrations. stuff we can read, analyse, reproduce to end up with the same (or not) conclusions.

i am very very annoyed by articles that say "on subject X, we have way too many people not saying Y"

this is totally unaceptable in science.

do i have to remember you that the scientific authorities of their times told us that no human would ever go faster than a horse ? that people taking trains would suffocate ?

that others told the Wright brothers that nothing heavier than air would ever fly ?

that everything there was to discover through science had already been found and there was nothing more to find ?

we don't even know where the covid emanated. we have people that think it's natural, and papers that explain how the protein spike has been inserted because it never has been seen nor did it happen nor could it happen in nature ? i don't know myself what to think of that.

some people will never believe truth, even if we put it in front of them.

we should not spend or lose time with them.

focus on making good science. do not recognize any authority especially if they say "this is true because i am an authority in my field". einstein warned us deerly about those kind of authorities.

good science will use facts and provable facts to advance our knowledge and seek truth. let's focus on that.

in the end, it does not matter how much videos or papers with false content are on internet, or youtube. in the very end, the truth wins and all those false claims, those false articles, those false videos, will end up in the bin of history.

let's focus on making good science and finding truth.
and not spend a single minute trying to fight, if false, that climate denial on youtube. because it's a Don Quixote fight.
more opioid to homeless.

Uncle Bob gets hurt, can't work for a while, and gets put on Percocet, but that's to expensive and has limitations. Eventually he gets on other pills, and then a neighbor mentions he sells pills sometimes, and can get other stuff.

Few years later Bob can't take pills, can't afford them, but can snag bags of H. That's stable for a second but eventually it screws his life up more, and he's homeless.

A lot of young folks end up there cuz their home life was bad and it was easy to party / forget abuse at home, and just end up stuck.

The article said 4%, and contends that 4% is too high

and goes further to notice that convictions are mostly plea deals, and that prosecutors in many places don’t have to verify if the plea deal is based on any lab based evidence

and further finds a bunch of departments that arrest people no matter what the test result is, making your standard about “bad tests” completely moot

its a system based on total apathy and the article is saying thats the problem that should be fixed
What do you mean by "I don't believe in evil"?

I think many people can agree that inherently "evil" people are very very rare. Usually people who commit an "evil" act have a reason or justification. It's portrayed in literally every movie with an antihero and spawned the "villain origin story" meme.

But even if they have a reason/justification, that does not make the antihero or villain any less evil.

Jānis Pīnups
Well, you said it wasn't true, but then went on to explain how it has held true thus far. If you actually see it as being possible, why not provide evidence of support about the possibility, not evidence to the contrary?

If it is possible, what is holding us back? It was asserted that the regulation is already in place. That is not the stumbling block. It is getting people to actually enforce the relation that is the hindrance.

Enforcement requires using up finite resources. Enforcement is not happening because we don't have the will to use those resources for that purpose. We have other things we deem more important. What is going to change the will? Without a change in will, it is impossible.
FIDO/physical keys still work and they are still the best solution. Sure they can be stolen but physical access is much harder to get than digital access. The loss problem is also practically not of importance as a backup key can mitigate this. Also physical loss does not guarantee access to the new owner as they need to know which identity uses the key as well as the password as the key is only the second factor.

Best solution would probably be an implant of the physical key which makes it nearly impossible to lose it (apart from the worst case scenario).

Yeah sure.
Sundar wasn't a hacker, he was a product manager, and he was very good at identifying growing products, becoming their leader, and riding them to glory. But what really sealed the deal was Sundar's ability to sit in meeting with Larry Page while all the Chief Lieutenants fought, and patiently argue them all down (which Larry never wanted to do).

It's news to me that Sundar had anything to do with gdrive, gmaps, and gmail, except that he was head of Apps for a while, long after those products had completely established themselves.

Covering numeric types more in depth could be interesting. It seems to surprise most people when they run into '0123' for octal or '123f' (or is that 'f123'?) for a float, '0xdeadbeef' for hex, or 'b123' for binary (is that right...? you see it so rarely I'm not sure without looking up some examples). And I'm sure there's more: surely people have come up with notations for quarternions, complex numbers, and more.
I thought this would be obvious, but making up some assumptions about industry-level adoption of remote work based on the composition of employees and then seeing if those industries broke from their pre-pandemic trends requires companies to mechanically adopt WFH policies regardless of whether they are good or not (somewhat reasonable during the peak of covid, but not really for much long after, and also requires the timing of those shocks to line up) and then also needs that shock to be so big that you can see it at the industry level, separate from the general covid shock, and then also risks finding incorrect impacts because covid unsurprisingly had industry-specific effects.

Just as a really obvious example: tech stocks soared due to the pandemic; was this because WFH was good for tech companies, or was this due to other factors (wfh means people need to buy more tech, low interest rates pumped up all stocks, etc)? I obviously have my own opinion here, but this study design is not strong enough to disentangle any of this.

This study really is total garbage in the vein of "well, our data sucks, but we want to say something" and should not be taken seriously by proponents or detractors of WFH.

I guess that's the main issue then for me. I'm seldom after generalities, and very often after specifics.

> A great example that highlights this absurdity is vehicle ownership - imagine if Tesla announced tomorrow that they are actually a "transportation platform" and started charging Uber drivers a percentage of their revenue, or Mazda found out about the weekend race you did in a Miata and is demanding a cut of the winnings.

They could do this. It would just result in people being upset and likely no longer using their products.

I don't think it makes a ton of sense to compare a store or marketplace to hardware though? Every marketplace I know of takes a cut of items purchased through their store. Or they buy their items upfront and then take all the revenue of the sale.

The issue really shouldnt be that a cut is taken, it should be the amount or letting developers create alternative ways to download apps. Having an issue with someone taking a cut of revenue generated for products purchased on their platform just doesnt make a lot of sense.
Aye. Studies have shown that a lot of "homeless" folks are couch crashing, sleeping in cars, or have other made-do options. Some people make it work, but most of the time people are stuck there, and are often one bad argument away from being on the street.

I should have made it more generic and said orders of protection to include the more traditional orders as well. The process is well known to be abused, especially during divorce proceedings. These processes do not include the protections found in criminal law and result in lower burden of proof, ex-parte hearings, and no right to an attorney.

It's hard to find data on a lot of this. If you talk to divorce attorneys, they will tell you it's common. Here are some stats on my state. The initial order is granted, typically ex-parte, 89% of the time. Only 18% are granted a final PFA. Almost half of all cases are either withdrawn or an no-show. These are some abysmal numbers. They are granted readily and the vast majority don't stand up when challenged, even considering the lower burden of proof. I can't did the article, but there was a retired judge that openly admitted to approving most orders because the cost for being wrong was too high.

One estimate that every 10-20 seizures saves one suicide. So clearly not living up to the more likely than not standard, or we would expect to see a closer to 50% result. This study also notes that the rate of firearm assault was too low to assess crime against others. You can also see some of how the process works without the protections on the criminal justice side (prosecutor statements).

> even if nuclear is twice as expensive than renewables plus transmission, that’s a reasonable price to pay for the base load generation capabilities and diversification of the overall energy mix.

Who is going around investing in the overall energy mix, though? People with $10 billion to invest aren't thinking "how can I optimize the grid", they're thinking "how can I get the best return on my capital"; renewables offer substantially lower risk and quicker timelines than nuclear, so that's where the money seems likely to go. If we as a society want someone to build nuclear plants in the near term, for grid-stability reasons, we're probably going to have to subsidize the project.
