My lowtech solution was just a bunch of aliases for directories i use a lot. Like:

alias .a='cd ~/src/autosqueezer'
alias .g='cd ~/src/gcc-squeeze-plugin'
alias .u='cd ~/src/squeeze-utils'

etc. You have to manage them by hand, but that's easy, and makes the result much more predictable than anything based on history.

I also have contextual companions to these, defined as functions, like:

.r() {
local project_root=$(somehow work out the root of the current project)
cd $project_root
}

.b() {
.r
cd build
}

>To train AlphaGeometry's language model, the researchers had to create their own training data to compensate for the scarcity of existing geometric data. They generated nearly half a billion random geometric diagrams and fed them to the symbolic engine. This engine analyzed each diagram and produced statements about their properties. These statements were organized into 100 million synthetic proofs to train the language model.

In practice (at least in the US) we have and infrastructure that makes it practically impossible for many people to live their lives without a car, and purchasing decisions are based almost exclusively on marketing materials and social forces.

Report: https://coltura.org/gasoline-superusers-3-report/

> The top 10% of US light-duty vehicle drivers in terms of their gasoline use (“Gasoline Superusers”) consume 35% of the gasoline— more than the bottom 72% of drivers combined. A Superuser consumes 5.3 times more gasoline on average than a non-Superuser.

> The majority of Superusers (58.2%) have household incomes of less than $100,000 and 42.9% of Superusers earn less than the national median household income of $74,580.

> Superusers are paying on average $530 every month on gasoline. On average they spend more than 10% of their income on gasoline, versus other drivers at just 3.5%.

> 57.7% of Superusers (12.1 million) live in rural and small-town America, and 9% (1.9 million) live in major cities. 19% of rural drivers are Superusers, compared to 5.4% of city drivers.
Superusers switching to EVs displace on average five times the gasoline of other drivers, but also save on average $4,318 each in annual fuel costs, providing much-needed financial relief.
It may be a good ethos but you can't simply undermine people's life work for your ethos especially when there's laws protecting their life work.

Put yourself in their shoes. Maybe you use some AI derivative work for your own life's work and then when you've finally accomplished what you want to do, someone else duplicates it, or uses the majority of your work?

What do you expect out of it. If you don't expect to be paid, great - I guess you'll be spending X other hours supporting yourself and possible family.

And if you do, you don't expect the hard work of others to be compensated? Rhetorical question.

So, if I'm understanding, you believe you wouldn't be satisfied with the movies, but wouldn't have a choice because of a silent agreement (as with residential ISPs) leaving customers with no good options. Is lowering barriers to competition not one of the ways that such oligopolies are fought?

To me this seems far more of a risk in our current environment where the vast majority of high-production-value movies come from a small handful of companies that have the budget to make them (and give us plenty of safe low-risk sequels).

> Do you have any references, in terms of further reading material, for the cross over point for when it's stops being competitive?

I'm afraid I don't. The most objective cutoff point I can come up with is based purely on cost. Meaning, cloud providers like AWS might offer a free tier for API Gateway and Lambdas which makes them really competitive vs running a container or launching a VM when traffic is low. However, once your traffic starts to go beyond the free tier (IIRC per month it's 1million requests for API gateway and 400,000 GB/s for lambdas) then operational costs starts to overtake the cost of running a traditional service. How many requests your service handles on all endpoints and how much computational budget each lambda spends is a trait of your own service, and reflects low-level decision such as how you designed your API and what runtime did you chose for your lambdas. Basically this boils down to the FaaS solution eventually leading the cloud provider to charge you per each request, while your traditional service running either in a container or on a VM having a fixed cost. After some math you'll arrive at s traffic volume that can represent the tipping point between FaaS and traditional services.

Personally, my subjective cutoff point is when FaaS costs about 30% of traditional setvices. Once your FaaS cost starts to grow, you're tempted to micro-optimize your API and your service to try to keep it's running cost justifiably low. That's when you're starting to be tempted to put together a sucky service as a cost tradeoff. When that time comes, it's better to bite the bullet and just migrate away from FaaS.
DuPont built their plant in 1969. Was it intentional racism or just cheap land zoned for industrial use?
This isn't surprising and it's not AI's fault.

Google lives with a structural weakness – they sell display ads directly on websites which get their traffic from SEO. This creates an incentive the size of the GDP of Cameroon* to direct people to websites which make Google money.

Suppose you search for green goddess salad dressing. Is that recipe website the best representation of that recipe? No, and it's not close. It is a measurably bad, and measurably profitable, search result.

Google is betting, based on trillions of data points, that we are collectively willing to put up with a mediocre experience.

* Cameroon's GDP is $45B, and Google's display ad business is something like $55B+. Two facts which I gathered by googling. ;)
I'm speculating they are attempting to avoid controversy about their datasources. That and a possible competitive edge depending on what specific sets/filtering they're using.
Amazon ha lanciato il suo tanto atteso generatore di arte con intelligenza artificiale per Fire TV, aprendo le porte a un mondo di possibilità creative per gli utenti. In questo articolo, esploreremo le caratteristiche di questa innovativa funzione e come puoi sfruttarla al massimo.

Amazon Fire TV e l'Arte IA:

Il generatore d'arte IA di Amazon è progettato per offrire sfondi personalizzati in modo facile e divertente. Basta dare comandi vocali ad Alexa per creare opere d'arte uniche direttamente sul tuo dispositivo Fire TV.

It would be nice to see docs and code examples before signing up for a plan, and if you do already make it easier to find.
I am kind of surprised by this because afaik, selling tickets in secondary sites is exactly what artists (well their management companies) actually do.

Katy Perry famously revealed this about a decade ago in a court documents - her contract showed X% of tickets to be available to her for resale on secondary markets.

So it seems a bit rich to prosecute for that - and frankly it would be my go to defence at trial

University economics departments are probably still bastions of Keynesianism, but they aren't the ones whose opinions really matter :)

COVID certainly saw stimulus be used, but I didn't say that's when Keynesianism was discredited. It's really happened during the post-pandemic recovery period.

The US claims to be experiencing strong growth right now, but there are reasons to be a bit skeptical of that. Opinion polls that have historically always tracked reported economic performance have now diverged significantly, with people telling pollsters that they feel the economy is poor whilst the government announces that it's actually doing great. This leads left wing economists like Noah Smith to claim that there's suddenly a sort of ignorance crisis in which people have suddenly stopped being able to assess their own economic security. I think it's more likely that US data has gone bad, ably assisted by a very pro-Biden civil service. For example one metric they use to measure economic strength is job openings, but read any thread about the job market on HN and you'll see lots of highly skilled people struggling to find work along with many reports of what appear to be fake job openings, held open just to collect CVs.

In Europe what we see is very weak or non-existent growth when controlled for inflation despite truly vast levels of immigration, i.e. real economy is probably shrinking in the UK:

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/gdp-constant-pri...

Did shrink in Germany:

https://archive.is/F2IX2

And inflation has reached very high levels.

For an Austrian "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon". The post-COVID inflation is for them entirely a function of stimulus, which you'd expect to have a delayed impact in that case because when the stimulus money landed in people's bank accounts everywhere people might spend it was closed. The economy reopens, travel becomes possible again and that money starts flowing out of the bank. Inflation appears immediately, exactly as expected.

Again it's a clearer picture in Europe. The UK started rapidly raising interest rates at the start of 2022, just as COVID was ending. Two years of lockdowns had left the economy in a terribly weakened state, nobody in the UK would claim the boom times were back, yet the BoE left Keynesianism behind and ramped up interest rates to levels last seen just before the last crisis in 2008. Back then they reacted by dropping rates to zero. This time they reacted by raising them to historical norms. A pretty clear repudiation of Keynes.

Most likely existing ones will be silently patched out as well. They did the same with the noise cancelling feature on their AirPods where it suddenly got worse after one silent update due to a patent litigation.

So why is it that after this existing for so many years that nobody seems to even know it’s an option or how to do it.

Just to give a bit of context on my own background because it’s relevant here but I spent most of the last ten years running A/B tests for companies and then analysing the results.

One of the core truths in my particular line of work is that default options matter a lot more than people tend to realise.

So when you take an idea such as “I would like to install this app” and you then:

1. Don’t provide a way to ask users if they would like to do that.

2. Put it in a menu that’s cluttered with many other unrelated things.

3. Call it something entirely different “add to home”.

It’s not a mystery what is going to happen here. We are talking the overwhelming MAJORITY of people will have no idea and it won’t get used.

I’m just a random person on the internet so I’m not asking you to take my word for it.

It’s specifically why I mentioned the test before of go and talk to any person with an iPhone and ask them how they can install an app without the App Store. You can prove this to yourself tomorrow by asking ten people.

You can even incentivise them with money. They absolutely can not do it and will look at you like you have two heads.

They have no idea it’s even possible.

So the next logical question that comes to mind is why do you suppose that is?

There’s a few potential options:

1. They somehow have no idea that this is a problem their users struggle with.

2. They are bad a UI design

3. It’s an intentional choice to try and keep people in the dark while still avoiding any legal action for anti competitive behaviour.

I can only find evidence for one of those options but I have a LOT of it. It’s not a coincidence that it happens to align perfectly consistently with all of their other actions towards treating the web as a competitive application platform.

That’s just who they are and how they do business.
Much appreciated indeed. Though I’m unconvinced by that particular piece on Medium. There’s no mention of their purported trading workloads, reads rather like a pile of SEO keywords spiced up by a couple charts and appears more like an attempted product placement for Azul Zing instead of HotSpot Zulu or other distributions. The author doesn’t seem to associate with finance either. I know Disruptor fairly well, it’s been underwhelming.
I wonder if older watches with the feature still enabled will start commanding a higher price in the used market.
I had never seen this before. Really puts into perspective some of the struggles I've dealt with from chaotic schedules and a transition toward management. It has me thinking I need to be more conscious of how I schedule meetings for others. Thanks for this!
