That implies fraud. Was Baker ever accused of that?

People are paid to manage organizations, which includes firing people. It's not a job failure necessarily. I do think Baker is/was overpaid.
Is that really what companies have to do to "trust Windows"? From my experience, it's rather driven from the need to look compliant. Thus, managers without in-depth knowledge decide to buy "endpoint security solutions", the more the merrier, deploy them to your machine, and that brings things down to a crawl.

Why to a crawl? Well, I've witnessed multiple antivirus products go bezerk on your dev folder if you compile C++. Turning them off for this folder increased performance by a factor, which is what's typically done and completely subverts the purpose of these products.
Also, I witnessed a certain product with a bird of prey that would run for hours and then just crash on a directory with a few million files.

This combination of sub-par quality of "security" products and performative deployment of endpoint security is a bane, at least for me as an enterprise software developer. I don't see Microsoft being primarily at fault there.
Hey Andyish, this is quite a clean idea and I think this has a huge potential in today's day and age plus also the forseeable future.
I also love the part where you guys have done the pricing right (or in my opinion at least).

I would be interested in something like this even if it had no MRR.

Sales is a very vague term and also, what are you looking for exactly, drop me an email at jaipalveer@gmail.com letting me more about in depth of this and your vision around it.

Looking forward.

Why LinkedIn is not a marketplace?
Suppose you want to find a job or an employee. You create a LinkedIn profile for free. But you notice that basic features are limited. And there are some advanced features you can get for a fixed monthly price. Sounds like an obvious, good business model, right? But it's not that good.

Let's just think about it for a moment. A candidate provides some data about herself to a third party (LinkedIn) so that potential employers can see this data. And everyone pays to that third party. Now it sounds like a dumb shit. On the other hand, the premium features do not bring a reasonable value. Finally, the whole platform is slow and doesn't update much in years.

Why can't the candidate earn from her data? In other words, receiving payments each time potential employers see her profile. And the third party (LinkedIn) just gets the commission.

This is a marketplace business model. And it looks like a much better solution for every side of the table. 1) Users get paid from profile views. Ultimately converting their CVs into digital assets and generating an income from it. This solution motivates people to thoroughly fill out their profiles and update them timely. Of course, all profiles should be private. 2) Employers/Recruiters pay only for the profiles they need. In other words, paying directly to the owners of data, not for the whole database. This solution makes spending reasonable. Also, all profiles now contain detailed and up-to-date information. 3) The platform gets a much higher income. Since now it's connected to the number of views, or user activity, not to the number of premium subscribers. Second, the CLV is much higher and the CAC is much lower, as compared to the current model. Third, all users get the advanced features, making the platform more pleasant to use.

So why LinkedIn is not a marketplace? Sometimes we just agree to the status quo models without questioning and rethinking them.
Right, if you're being a dick then sure. I'm advocating for not being one in the first place. That's the challenge.

If you can't meet that use keycards instead of keys, voip instead of real phones, lock file cabinets, I mean go all the way.

Corporate America loves pretending. Pretending you're part of the family and then treating you like you're trying to rob the place at the drop of a hat.

That's the messed up thing. Be consistent and don't be fake. People can deal with you for being overly formal and paranoid but probably not for being a phony backstabber, that's how you grow haters.

The hardest thing for a brand to shake off is a bad reputation, whether they justly deserved it or not. You don't want haters in the Internet age.
You’re trying to reduce someone’s 10 years of experience just because they have different opinion than you.

Makes sense to commit 1% of the world’s total money? I don’t think so…

No one is even talking about these kind of figures being used for climate change, which is a far more pressing problem.
This really highly depends on the people that you work with.

At a previous employment (a 100% WFH position) I had most of my colleagues in India, roughly 4 time zones away from my own so we almost never met in person, and we'd have personal chit chat sessions while working.

Then I've worked with people who weren't present even when you were sitting right next to them. They'd come into the office, say "morning", put on their noise cancelling head phones and be gone for the rest of the day (modern open space office life in a nut shell).
The "well-regulated" nonsense is long-settled jurisprudence.

I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.

Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.
So someone hacking them and adding more currency to everyone would not be bad. Just very tiny breaking of rules. Not likely worth prosecuting at all. As in that case they would lose absolutely no money...
Lifetime is easily calculated against the equivalent periodic subscription cost if both are offered. I don’t buy a lifetime subscription thinking I’ll be using it in 10 years. I purchase it thinking I’ll still be using it in 3 years, at which point it starts being free compared to the monthly.

Of course that’s not really relevant for digital assets like movies or anime, which I want to own, not rent.
Pivots >to< data privacy? I thought they were all for that the entire time? Sounds stinky.
sama thinks OpenAI will "capture the light cone of all future value in the universe" so betting now on 1/3 of US GDP is probably in his mind actually very conservative.

As someone with just limited React knowledge I recently started with Next, got stuck with something and moved on to Svelte. It was really easy until I ran into some errors there and eventually came back to Next.

Svelte is certainly easy to pick up, compared to anything React oriented like Next IMO. That said, the issue I had with most of these frameworks were integrating other libraries into them and quite a few of them seemed to not match with whatever version either the framework was using, or the libraries themselves were outdated.

Then again, I'm a noob at this so it most likely could have been my lack of knowledge.
Cosmopolitan build support! I know jart had this compiling in the examples but it's nice that fbellard has added 1st class support.

Ok and there is the top level await support (among others that are truly beneficial to the language support; I didn't even know about "in" until this change log)

No. Copyright infringement is not legally theft.
You can use Preact + HTM to skip the build step, too. It's very nice for the middle ground where DOM management gets annoying but adding a build process would be difficult.
"Defense in depth" worked fine against amateur attacks. Well-funded attackers who can work on breaking each stage and have a library of attacks to combine are a much worse threat. More attacks like that are appearing.

Trying my hand at writing and this is my first submission. It seems that every ambitious 20-something I know who is in crypto is always questioning whether they live in the right place.

Yep, the SQLite way.

And if you really like something about someone else's fork, you can even upstream stuff from it yourself (which, for clarity, SQLite won't do, but you can).
If I read it correctly, they just dumped and diffed their uid, not all of that information.
During layoffs session last year, the company I work for immediately removed people from the corporate directory, and then went to the guy who had made the unofficial facebook and made him hide them in his tool too. They still technically worked there during the WARN period, so they didn't have epitaphs either. That went over about at well as you'd expect.

This time around, the laid off people show up as on vacation. If you see a team of people all on PTO until the end of May, you can presume that team is donezo.

I've seen a company during WFH let a laid off employee (who asked) keep their access for an hour, to post a goodbye message.

It's not good practice for all situations -- you need some trust, despite the stressful situation, when people tend to show character and weaknesses -- but in this case, it worked out.

The departing employee posted a message of encouragement to the remaining people.

Kind words and contact info were exchanged, etc.
Their article 'Complex systems won't survive the competence crisis' was an interesting read and made some good points, it appeared that they were approaching the issue from a perspective of troubleshooting and rectification, i.e. genuine governance.

Other articles give the impression that they're more into the 'nuclear lifeboat'/'galt's gulch' strategy and give off sinister vibes. I personally wouldn't use the word 'cryptofascist' but others might.

Like you I have the same conclusion... interesting at first, gets alarming & repetitive.
You don't know if you're interested in the 'product' unless you see it.

If you pay to see it, it creates a negative incentive to view so usage would plummet.
>The problem with your argument is that, for decades, congress has been passing and failing to update laws under the understanding that the courts would apply Chevron deference.

It is literally the job of Congress to update laws. That they are bad at doing that is not relevant to the place of the Court in the structure of this country's government.

>If the courts decide to get rid of that, they're intentionally misinterpreting the laws that congress has passed over that time.

The opposite of this is true. If the Court decides to jettison Chevron deference (you should look in to why that case is called "Chevron") it means that gasp our legislators have to actually listen to constituents and write laws and not just bet that the executive branch in the next election cycle agrees with them.

There has been plenty of attempts at copy protection on CDs. Some more successful than others.

Digital-only downloads of music was also one of the early adopters of DRM. But one of the problems is that music needed to be portable in a way that games and movies weren’t (yet). Then as smart phones, WiFi and mobile internet took off, digital downloads got replaced with services like Spotify. These days most music consumption is done via streaming services.

What helps with music, though, is the core group of audiophiles who keep CD and vinyl. They aren’t going to be around forever though. I used to be one and even I’ve given into the convenience of Spotify in recent years. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I’ve played vinyl in the last 5 years. And I threw out almost all of my CDs when I last moved house.
Interesting story.

When all the frameworks were taking off, I was at a huge company using a 15 years legacy front-end. My background was "traditional" front-end. HTML/CSS/JS and mostly jQuery at the time.

Every time I went in for an interview, the senior devs would always start with fundamental JS stuff and then go from there. I would consistently get comments about how I was the first person they interviewed who could actually talk to basic JS stuff like closures and scope chain. They said there was a huge influx of people learning React and Angular and had no idea the difference between the two or like you said, they were based on JS.

This was back around 2014/2015 and it looks as though not much has changed since then.
The executionpolicy merely allows you to write unsigned scripts. Not that it runs them elevated.
In terms of well-written fun I would rank "Murderbot Diaries" very highly, alongside any of the John Scalzi books I've read. For similar levels of ridiculous (and trying-not-to-be-but-kinda-still sexist) look no further than "Off to Be the Wizard". That one is best if you recruit a few programmer buddies to also read it, so you can all compare each other's resulting self-insert fan fiction. I'll also occasionally reread the "Synchronicity Wars" series if I'm feeling ill and want something sorta kooky.
Judges are “activist” as a political label only when they rule in a way that you don’t like. It is a meaningless label generated by politicians to get them to vote for them and put in different judges who will vote the way they think you want! And that’s not activism?

If the provider made it available for purchase (not subscription), the liability should go to them first to make DRM free copies available for those who purchased it before shutting down the service. If they are unable to do so, e.g. a sudden bankruptcy, then the liability could go to the copyright holder to find another provider to continue the service and transfer purchases, or provide DRM free copies (either should not be a problem if they are still making money from the given IP). In the event they are no longer making enough money from that IP and wish to just rid their hands of it, it becomes public domain.
You can get nearly the same result with less trust: let the employee draft a goodbye message and have the boss (or so) forward that to the other employees.
That sounds more accurate to me. Sorry everyone, I should have made clear that my version might be off in a few details.
It's mostly related to the fact that Elixir code is very terse and easy to understand, and that if you put 100 devs on a singular Phoenix web/API project codebase they will be stepping on each others' toes all the time so they need to kind of take turns if they don't want the codebase to become a complete mess.

Thirdly, Elixir devs are on average quite senior in general (as they are usually refugees from other stacks) which lends itself to one-man armies very well in my almost 8 years of experience working with Elixir.
Rust is the most common one that comes up. Im going to spare some time to learn it this year.

You can’t get private Slack messages easily if you don’t have direct access to the account.
There is an audit feature on the Enterprise version that allows it, and you can appeal to slack to open the messages due to a crime or similar - but AFAIK on the normal plans you are out of luck of you want to read private messages as workspace owner.
DevPearl-2x7B, an xtraordinary Mixture of Experts (MoE) for development
DevPearl-2x7B is a Mixture of Experts (MoE) made with the following models :

deepseek-ai/deepseek-coder-6.7b-instruct
defog/sqlcoder-7b-2

A Mixture of Experts (MoE) model represents a sophisticated architecture that amalgamates the capabilities of multiple specialized models to address a wide array of tasks within a unified framework. Within the realm of a MoE model tailored for a chat application, the integration of expertise spanning three distinct domains - chat, code, and mathematics - substantially enhances its capacity to furnish nuanced and precise responses to a diverse spectrum of user inquiries.
NVIDIAs margin is someone's money. I wouldn't say they don't understand it. I would say they need a good enough competition to get the margin down.

E.g. FB saying they want to buy 350k H100. That's just a whopping $14B price tag. With a >85% profit margin. While a fab is $20B.

Trillion? Sounds like anchoring to me. Nvidia has a market cap of $1.7T. You could literally buy NVIDIA for that. I read that as "a billion won't cut it, we need quite a few billions".

But it's not unreasonable that those hyperscalers throw in a few billion each.

Usually it's horrible business not to be best (see Intel/AMD). Because the margins are at the top. In this case though they want a whole range of products to go down in margin. Even a slightly worse chip might be worth it if it comes at a significant cost reduction. Especially if the optimal design is known!

In a sense the whole thing can fail at reaching the top or making lots of money and still succeed in bringing total cost down, potentially by 50% or more.

Dude, I am arguing that violent people need to be investigated. Nothing more. Do you really debate that?

I did not say in any word, a whole group needs to be locked down, because one stepped out of line. But if the group openly supports the violence of that one person - well then they invited further investigation to determine if there is more planned in secret. It is a grey area for sure and I am not a fan of police regulary overstepping those lines to stop some drunk nuts. But they do have to check, on whether the nuts are arming themself and getting more dangerous. How would you propose it should work? Ignoring it?
Why do we need a templating language at all? Syntax is inferior to data.
I'm only learning Rust, but the borrow checker and ownership and lifetimes could be duplicated in C with a little extra syntax, couldn't they?
Of course it increases. That's why you have permissions and guard rails on the employees in the first place. Those should be sufficient.

Also if you want to work with the people you like again but need to actually downsize because of external pressure, good luck trying to get them to come work for you at your next venture after some fucked up bridge burning ceremony.

Laws are not boolean logic that are cut and dry, otherwise we wouldn’t need human judges.

The federalist society is a well funded organization whose goal and track record is to install conservative judges to interpret the law in a very specific way, all the way up to the Supreme Court. I’d that’s not activism then I don’t know what is.
The way I see it I go to work to exchange my skills for money. Often that involves working with others, but I’m not there to socialize and make friends. I have friends.

So given that outlook, WFH seems just kind of more “pure.” It’s distilled work, unencumbered by phony pseudo-friendships and awkward water cooler chit chat about sportsball. When we start a zoom meeting I can just launch right into the agenda without having to do that offtopic pre-meeting banter ritual. To me it’s work without waste. I feel like with WFH I get more done per hour and that means more time for me to do what I enjoy: things that aren’t work.

(Just as one example. The American economy is a big and diverse place. Though in the interest of full disclosure, I was working for Goldman in Singapore, but they were just following global corporate policy; and our labour laws in Singapore defer more to contracts than the US one. Eg no WARN act here.)

That would be a great start. But one could ponder the usefulness. Bikes like the DRZ400 is a niche bike. One doesn't replace that with an EV for the sake for the environment. I'd love to see an EV with that capability, but it won't happen if there's no market for it. We could easily be riding gasoline motorcycles for the next 100 years.
