Well. I certainly agree that arguing on the internet about who is a Buddhist, and who is not, is hurtful and not helping anyone. I just happen to think you are the one leading people down the wrong path. But so do you, of me.

Seems like we understand words differently. Have different definitions of same words.

You say I'm 'fundamentalist' even to point of going to Hell, then in return say the most scary extreme 'fundamentalist' things. Maybe we just mean different things by that word 'fundamentalist'.

You say you are Mahayana, then say things that are not very Mahayana.

Then you say for me to get a teacher. And I'm thinking, man your teacher isn't doing you any favors, you should find another.

Who is right? No way to know?

So. Guess there is nothing else. I think you are wrong, you think I am wrong.

We can quote the same sutras endlessly and both have opposite interpretations. Can quote demographics, and 'who meditates', 'who doesn't', what is it, what is it not, as some kind of proof. Using sutras to disprove sutras, then cling to them, is kind of blowing me away. I haven't encountered something like this.

I guess I just have to say, to try and help. Try to understand the sutras a bit more and less.

You are very wound up in conceptual thought. And it seems to be blinding you. Sutras are to be abandoned when their purpose is done, not clung to.

""Though others may talk of the Way of the Buddhas as
something to be reached by various pious practices and
by sutra-study, you must have nothing to do with such
ideas.

Hmm I tried it in the beginning (when they still had a monthly free allowance) and I didn't really find it significantly better than DuckDuckGo which is what I normally use (I almost never use Google).

But my point is that they introduced it a little too late. I'd have loved to have something like this a few years ago but now most of my search engine activity is being displaced by LLMs.

And DuckDuckGo already meets my needs enough for when I do still need it (yes I know it's just a skinned version of Bing :) ). And I don't have to bother logging in to it on every computer and phone I own (I easily have 10 computers and 6 mobile devices in my home alone).

I'm not sure why some call the authors choice of 1$ per install disingenuous. Wouldn't that be the averaged out profit per app when you combine paying and non paying users?

Like for each app which costs 5$ I'd expect that there's at least 5 non-paying users using the free version.

Update: Also, the revenue per app doesn't affect the 0.5$ per app install fee. Meaning, if the app is making less than 0.5$ per install, averaged over free + paying users, then one would just be loosing money...

I’ll add context that NUMA machines with high CPU’s and RAM used to cost six to seven digits. Some setups were eight figures. They had proprietary software, too.

People came up with horizontal scaling across COTS hardware, often called Beowulf clusters, to have more computing for cheaper. They’d run UNIX or Linux with a growing collection of open-source tools. They’d be able to get the most out of their compute by customizing it to their needs.

So, vertical scaling being exorbitantly expensive and less flexible at the time, too.
well yes, but also credit/debt ... https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/current/ ... how does this compare to - let's say eurozone numbers?

https://tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/consumer-credit

compare the following graphs EU: https://i.imgur.com/5DJyDuG.png , USA https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-FED/DEBT/jnpwwyzmqpw/ch...

"The increase in the fourth quarter primarily reflected increases in consumer spending and exports. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased." and "The increase in consumer spending reflected increases in both services and goods. Within services, the leading contributors were food services and accommodations as well as health care."

https://www.bea.gov/news/2024/gross-domestic-product-fourth-...

so yeah, it's cool some number went up, but also food and healthcare costs more. and export can be good old oil stuff and pew-pew products. so all in all the mystery is that there's probably no mystery.
Thanks for the article and definitely agree you are better off to start it simple like a parquet file and faiss and then test out options with your data.

Isn't it the opposite? It matters none to the outliers because they're so far above the competition, but it matters at least significantly to the average person.

Yeah.

The scheme that was posited could potentially land us in a really perverse place. We'd be paying Apple way more than they put in because they don't use much but they pour out projects that others use.

My suspicion is that this probably works for some of the big companies, but for places like Apple, we don't want to get into this situation at all. This would just be a new revenue stream for Apple for doing something that they would have done for free anyway.
Do you have any personal recommendations on a good/affordable cloud host for this?

I briefly looked into how much it'd cost to run on an EC2 instance and it seems like it'd be order of $100 - $200 per month while these dedicated game server companies seem to be offering it, fully managed, for only $20/mo! I'm guessing they do this by having larger instances running many people's servers?

I'd prefer to manage and run this myself but when the price is an order of magnitude more to do so, it doesn't seem worth it to self host unless you happen to have a suitable always on home server sitting around.

That’s not really the point. On the Web you have a single google.com, and on the AppStore you have a single "Google" app. If you allow multiple sources for apps you break this idea of a unique registry and allow anyone to create an app named "Google" or any other well-known brand. There’s no way of ensuring the "Google" app you’re looking at is the genuine one anymore.

It's a shame because we still don't have innovations like TV tuners, am/fm (my LG L70 had an FM-only tuner), or pseudo 7.1 surround sound. Well, we do have surround plugins for Android, but they require root and installing an Xposed module.
Questions to Closeness – Has this been replicated?

Completely guessing, but the thought comes to mind that Rust was (still is? I don't keep up these days) portrayed as The C Killer. So to specify "written in Rust" was to imply "I wrote something low-level without C/C++" or "I rewrote Popular C Tool in Rust" in the name of memory safety.

This is all wild speculation on my part, so please take it with a large grain of salt. I welcome alternative explanations or experiences.
The pricing model very much impacts users, because it incentivizes higher app prices, as well as subscriptions over one-time purchases. Users certainly don’t like subscriptions (but Apple loves those).
I'm sorry you are so annoyed, I've been there too.

That said, I wonder if some of the pain you are feeling is self-imposed. If you just use a single linux distribution, it is generally consistent in its install methods. Wouldn't you find it weird if someone complained about how the MacOS install process differed from Windows? That's roughly the equivalent of what you are saying.

The power management issue is a real problem, and it plagues not just linux, but the PC ecosystem (x86 / intel,amd) in general. MacOS gets around this by tightly controlling their hardware and software to create a great experience. It's harder on the PC side due to the sheer number of configurations of hardware and software that have to cooperate to accomplish good power management.

This is the same root cause w/ 'hardware feature' support. A PC is a collection of independently designed hardware and software, smooshed together into some sort of computer. Making that work is difficult due to the sheer number of combinations that are possible.

My feeling is that this situation is ripe for solution by a company that treats their software and hardware as a complete system, and to deeply attack these challenges by curating (and eventually designing, if needed) components and software to polish the user's experience.

> How often do you restart the server so that the JIT compiling time matters?

In a highly dynamic language like Javascript you have not much control on when which parts of the code might be 'de-optimized' and re-jitted (e.g. when the 'shape' of objects changes), it definitely doesn't only happen at startup or when a function is first called.
This is basically just a misunderstanding. There are multiple overlapping effects. Most of the 'hard' numbers for claims along those lines come from the flicker fusion frequency [0] around 50 Hz or so, which means that a video recorded at 25 fps and replayed by flashing every frame twice (like in old movie theaters) will not appear to flicker.

However, there's another important factor, which is that if you move an edge accross your visual field and sample at a certain frequency, depending on the speed of the edge, you might get a stroboscope-like effect and see multiple parallel edges. This is something a lot of people notice in 60 Hz computer rendered video, or when moving quickly under a lamp flickering at the mains frequency, because every frame is sharp without any motion blur. By contrast, you can run video filmed at an exposure time similar to the frame time at lower frame rates and it'll look fine, because the motion blur removes that stroboscope-like appearance.

Agreed - I was going to write more about how the imbalances within nature and the ebb and flow between the current state is always changing, just at scales larger than a single human life's observance.

Its amazing to me that so many ancient civiliaations had an understanding of cycles many thousands of years long, and understood that things change in cycles, as opposed to linear....

Take, for example the Pyramid of Ku at Chichenitza...

I went there in 2001 with a Mayan Elder named Hunbatz Men [0] -- He explained the nature of the Pyramid as the calendar:

The pyramid is broken into a number of architectural elements that define various aspects of the solar calendar: the indentations on the sides of the steps of the pyramid are divided to reflect the year, the levels represent divisional seasons, the steps inside the pyramid leading to the top is 72 and it represents the 72,000 year cycle of the plieades over head - the graduations in the face of the steps of the pyramid are the 28 days of their 13 month year. The top of the pyramid is the correct height that when you look down the groove on the top cube, they align perfectly to the horizon in all directions - and a bunch of of ther aspects of time tracking. Its an amazing celestial clock.

The Open Source Initiative's Open Source Definition[0] doesn't permit discrimination against fields of endeavor. A license that discriminates between personal and business use is neither Open Source nor Free.

The dichotomy between Free and Open Source software centers around political ideas around protecting user freedom.

Edit: re: your "hopes and dreams" edit - I think it's safe to say reasonable people have no problem with proprietary source-available licenses (like the BSL, for example). Just don't call those types of licenses "open source". They aren't.

Those who attempt to free-ride on the goodwill Free and Open Source has amassed by using improper terminology to describe proprietary source-available licenses are what create frustration.

That's true but it doesn't contradict my point about a $1 app with 10 million installs.

In any case, a free app can always be released under the current terms.

I think the obvious point is that free to consumer apps still cost something in terms of the platform. It has been a common complaint in the past that apps like Uber or Facebook have a huge number of installs but don't pay anything. This simply brings transparency to that.

Gerrymandering is different to the system itself getting less democratic. The UK Electoral Commission is meant to be non-political in setting boundaries. Obviously, there will be pressure applied for advantage but, frankly, that's how adversarial politics works. As I pointed out, you get groups who are over represented as well. While FPTP is not 1:1 mapping of voters to representation, it's still democratic, particularly in a representative democracy, as "the people" choose someone to represent them.

Watching PR in action in Europe, I also don't think it's the panacea some people see it as. The horse trading happens behind doors when forming coalitions, rather than upfront, at least in theory, in a manifesto. It seems to start promisingly, but fragments to the extent that there is no stable government formed (Belgium), or a minority government that can't actually do anything (France), or having to bring in formerly shunned "unpleasant" groups (as I mentioned before, I can see there are pros and cons to that) because voters are so disenchanted with the disfunction (Germany) they don't vote for the more palatable options anymore.

I don't have a good answer to what is "better", but the main thing in any democracy is to get informed and vote. Even if you are in a location where your vote is taken for granted or diluted, it is still pressure on the main parties to change their position (vis UKIP and the Conservatives) as votes slip away quickly.
I tried the HQ too. Need to re-check
> well yes. That's part of the rub. You'll pay $100/year even if you never launch an app so that makes sense. That's the cost of using Apple's SDK.

You don’t need to pay Apple $100/year if all you want is Xcode and the documentation, but if you want to actually launch an app, that’s when you pay Apple.

> But you may now pay $.50 per install even for a free app if you don't/can't host outside of the App store, unless you declare your company/business a non-profit or educational instituion. This was previously $0. So the price hike can become absurd, to say the least.

Yeah, due to *checks notes* changes in the regulatory environment making their previous model untenable in the EU. It is now not worth the cost or business risks to Apple to let all free apps free-ride, just most of them.

> Well tough luck. you made more money off your "baby" than many country's GDP.

Two things: not my baby, and it is absurd to compare annual corporate revenue to GDP. GDP is a measure of economic activity within a nation, not a revenue figure, and revenue measures money earned before costs are accounted for.

> Governments' interest is in making sure companies do not in fact hoard all the money in the world

This statement is meaningless. A government that sees its role in society to cap profits is one that will assuredly wreck that society.

> and when your product becomes a centerpiece of society something's got to give.

Except that it’s not. Apple’s customers are customers who voluntarily spent money to purchase iPhones when other choices were available to them, and an iPhone is a luxury good, not a necessity. It is lucrative to invest in developing software for iPhones, but there are other businesses to go into.
This is very interesting. I'm wondering why not print the blanks with a gap at the bottom so there's room to insert a lock-pick tension wrench to apply the torque instead of using the keyhead.

Who would want to have their calendar cluttered by random events from the internet?

I have a website where, among other things, people can see a list of a very specific type of events that they might be interested in.

Each event has a button where people can add it to their calendars.

I thought about providing an iCal link, but refrained because I thought it would be frustrating for users to have me put random events next to their private events and appointments.

This might be even more frustrating for users who might not be very tech-savvy enough to properly manage their calendars. Or even have to work with calendars that don't offer enough tools for proper separation of concerns.

I just looked at 1 page of the most recent commits to the LLVM project and every single one of them is from a corporate developer.

The major LLVM subprojects that I follow are not just largely written and maintained by large companies, but were also initially invented and contributed by them.
