When a company has a mission statement, that mission statement's core purpose is to define when you leave money on the table. It defines how you plan to achieve long term success, otherwise every single company would have one mission statement: "Increase shareholder value by maximizing next quarters profits" or "extract as much revenue from customers as possible, while minimizing investment into that extraction."

Here is blizzards:

We create the most epic interactive gaming and entertainment experiences
on earth immersing players in new, unimagined worlds. Our products help
build community and create social platforms that bring people together.

Blizzard did that for years. Blizzard was an unstoppable gaming behemoth. WoW was culturally significant. Starcraft birthed, or at least popularized eSports. MOBA's came first from starcraft's "use map settings" maps, and later more directly from Warcraft 3's. Diablo 2 is still considered a better game than any of it's sequels.

It's quite hard to understate just how influential blizzard was to the gaming industry.

When blizzard was "leaving money on the table," they were arguably the leading game developer in the world. Lots of kids grew up dreaming about working for blizzard. I would bet money a large number of current day game devs were inspired by blizzards offerings. How many gaming companies have their own conventions?

Blizzard wasn't a company that just made money. They altered the industry. They defined the industry, and they did it by "leaving money on the table." They made fun games first, and money second. Now they make money first and games second, and it shows.
> used to have chewy gristle in them

Chickens have gained significant breast mass in the last few decades (so much so it causes "woody breast") and, with increased supply, the price of breast meat (less gristle) has come down proportionally. Like the McRib, economics drives McDonald's decisions.
> and then that customer hits a bug that no one else will hit.

What I should also add is that bugs that only effect a few customers will be very low priority.

IE: This is why software with lots of options is often buggy: Options create corner cases that aren't high priority to debug.
Bitcoin solves that ;)
No you're right for sure. Aptible is mentioned a few commends down, and is/was basically the same business (compliance focused hosting for small startups). Now Aptible has seemingly pivoted away from that focus and are now trying to compete in the PaaS space. There are a couple of obvious reasons here.

1. You're limiting your TAM to just healthcare startups. Why?
2. After not that long, it doesn't make financial sense for your customers to stick with you. I speak from experience on this one having moved some number of customers off of Aptible in the past. Aptible was charging 10X AWS for a pretty thin wrapper around AWS. At any kind of scale beyond a handful of machines it makes sense to just bite the bullet and hire a devsecops person, who in the end will do more for you.

My advice here is to think bigger. Think about what value the GRC/Security/DevOps teams of bigger orgs are delivering and how you could displace (some) of them.
$3B in 2018 seems quite modest for the amount of hype and mind-share/market-share they had from early 2010s to 2021. Since 2020, there are (were) probably a hundred companies valued at over $1B with less market fit, less product and less revenue in comparison. You have to remember pre 2022, it was all about growth. The economics and business dynamics of startups completely shifted with rates at 5% vs when they were sub-1%.
I am quite confident that at least some use cases for injecting context in at inference time are going to stay for at least the foreseeable future, regardless of model performance and scaling improvements, because IME those aren't the primary problems the pattern solves for me.

If you are dealing with highly cardinal permissioning models (even just a large number of users who own their own data, but the problem compounds if you have overlapping permissions), then tuning a separate set of layers for every permission set is always going to be wasteful. Trusting a model to have some kind of "understanding" of its permissioning seems plausible assuming some kind of omniscient and perfectly aligned machine, but unrealistic in the foreseeable future and definitely not going to cut it for data regs.

Also, in current status quo I don't believe there is a solution on the horizon for continuous, rapid incremental training in prod, so any data sources that change often are also going to be best addressed in this way. That will most likely be solved at some point, but it doesn't seem imminent, and regardless there will likely be some balancing of cost/performance where context from after the watermark being injected in at inference time might still make sense anyway to keep training costs managable rather than having to iterate training on literally every single interaction.

But yeah, if you're just using it because you have a single collection of context for many users which is too large to fit into the prompt, that seems like it will be subject to the problem you're describing. Although there might still be some benefit to cost/performance optimization both to keeping the prompt short (for cost) and focused (for performance).

This is true.

For food deserts, sometimes lacking grocery stores, fast food is sometimes the only practical option. Convenience stores, bodegas, dollar stores, and fast food chains charge high unit prices and the majority of residents have little choice except to commute long distances to big box stores if they had the time, money, and transportation to do so which they probably don't. In these cases, demand for fast food becomes more inelastic where there are fewer or no other options.

This is in contrast to areas with very high residential property values and lower BMIs where fast food shops are distant and uncommon.
Adding -ality to a word mimics terminology in the sciences[1], the sciences have broad authority, thus you cloak your whatever in that same "science-y" authority.

[1] Why is that? Thank the many centuries of non-vulgate languages in the arts and sciences. Since they come from different noun/consonant/grammar structures, when those loanwords are shoved into another language, they gain a whole pile of prefixes and suffixes to make them fit. Of course, "option" is a longstanding common word in English, so we're adding the "-ality" to make it esoteric, which marks it as a possible "science-y" word. This effect is starting to wear off, but unfortunately it's also taking science down with it.
I hear what you're saying, but I have a different experience.

I prefer to order from a kiosk and to scan my own groceries. It's not like I don't like the human interaction, but when I have only a few items, or I want to be able to browse the menu a little, I like some personal space rather than feeling rushed.

Considering how we arrived at this point (Houthis threatening and attacking trade and communications), I would say the US government's obvious inability to rein in its ally (Israel) despite having a huge amount of leverage demonstrates a pretty weak administration.

Feeble is precisely the right word to describe US pressure on Israel. Saying "We've asked them" over and over again just doesn't cut it. It's weak and everyone can see that.

This latest middle east crisis has been hugely damaging to US moral and diplomatic credibility.
Seems that both are correlated pretty heavily with time.

1 billion American citizens, under its current economic structure, will need something like 33 million immigrant non-citizens working in the shadows for agriculture, construction, hospitality, cleaning and child care, to keep proportion with today.
Others might be thankful that someone with access brought attention to this issue for many people at a higher level.

If you buy mustard seed there is often yellow and red seeds. Use yellow variety plus turmeric and vinegar for your standard American mustard. Use red and vinegar and beer/wine for your brown mustards. In my experience there is little difference in heat, what matters is time to mellow. The older the mustard the less spicy horseradish/wasabi sensation. Perhaps it’s oxidation.
It's plausible to me that the US stock market plays a larger role than in other countries. But you said it's the "primary thing everyone dumps their wealth into," which is a stronger, more surprising claim, and I wanted to see if it was true. Houses still seem to be people's biggest assets?
Embrace a project-oriented approach. The project can be an app, a paper, or an article.

Define what you want to do. Then start working on that. Embrace a top-down approach. Learn only on a need-to-know basis. When you need to know something for the app or the paper, learn that. Don't touch anything else. Make a list of stuff that you find interesting.

Always keep the completion of the project in your mind, and nothing else.

Project-based learning/research works the best.

Also allocate some hours per week for goal-free learning. Read/do whatever you want. But, keep it limited.

I have been working on using cloud FPGAs as replacements for HSMs for this reason. They are inherently single-tenant when you use them, and if you do everything right, you can have them cryptographically shred their internal state when they are reprogrammed. You don't have as many physical security promises (but you don't own Amazon's HSM anyway, so I would argue that FIPS 140-3 is not relevant from the physical security angle), but they are a lot more isolated from other users and from meddling by Amazon insiders than Amazon's Cloud HSM is.

The drawback is that they are very expensive, so you have to be really paranoid to want to use them, and they are new enough and complicated enough that you have to trust us and our auditors to have done everything right.

If you don't actually need the ~2 kw peak power output, there are a bunch of off brand 100-200W power stations with 50-150Wh batteries that aren't much more new than a new battery load for that old UPS (ex: random hit, flashfish 40800mAh Solar Generator - $129, powkey 200W $100). Although the Wh ratings are suspect on may of them, and they aren't online/line-ineractive (which is why they are more efficient) so you lose the power conditioning since they are effectively offline UPS's.

I see people dumping old jackery, ecoflow, models for 1/3 of retail on craigslist/etc somewhat regularly although those tend to be larger models. Its a bit of a mystery to me why some of them aren't advertised as having UPS functions if they have fast switch times, which many of them do since they don't have physical relays. My old line interactive UPSs are all physical relays which click when they switch over, the assumption is that the energy in the transformer is sufficient to cover the switching time, but of course they do brown out a bit when near their current limits.

I've yet to see a web designer or graphic designer think things through. My experience is that they're entry level freelancers that perform the exact task requested, nothing else, and e.g. consistency has to be handled above their pay grade. I don't think I can agree to your definition of the word design.

Checking https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/design, these two sound like what you're talking about:

> 1. A specification of an object or process, referring to requirements to be satisfied and thus conditions to be met for them to solve a problem.

> 2. A plan (with more or less detail) for the structure and functions of an artifact, building or system.

But these sound like what a web designer or graphic designer do. And they are more about being artistic than about thinking things through:

> 3. A pattern, as an element of a work of art or architecture.

> 4. The composition of a work of art.

> 6. The shape or appearance given to an object, especially one that is intended to make it more attractive.

> 7. The art of designing

My experience with Superset was the opposite. It's easy to install using containers. You can have it up and running and connected to ClickHouse in a few minutes. I also found the internal design pretty intuitive--the SQL query lab is much easier than Grafana's editor.

This very sentiment highlights the problem. If you aren't a master of crybullying and couching your own hate speech in impenetrable rhetoric, you're subject to criminal penalties.

Israel is attacking civilians but calling that out as genocide is antisemitic in their eyes. Yet visibly supporting their Palestinian victims is itself "advocating genocide." They've flipped the script, and this bill codifies suppression of dissent. All of these ism and phobia terms are so fucking vague it's embarrassing.

And yet for a bill about stopping bullying and hate speech, there are provisions like:

> For greater certainty and for the purposes of the definition content that foments hatred, content does not express detestation or vilification solely because it expresses disdain or dislike or it discredits, humiliates, hurts or offends.

So what the fuck is the point? This is all meaningless. It's going to be hilarious to see enforced.

Not in California they don’t. Not for years. The tipped minimum wage is $16, same as the minimum wage for the people at Burger King (whose jobs are actually harder and worse, incidentally). Tipping is toxic and should die. And while I’ll tip at a sit-down restaurant I’m done. Counter service? Kiosk service? Mobile app ordering? No. I have a tip for management though: pay your damn employees yourself and leave me out of it.
A Personal History of Legion, by Way of Its Papers
There was the mobile and cloud boom. Which resulted in more digital payments (more difficult for crime and corruption), online to offline stuff like ride sharing and e-commerce. Plus a ton of advancements on logistics, especially in developing countries.

I think most of these changes didn't affect developed nations so much, it's probably still good old Walmart and Amazon. But they were lifechanging to developing nations. We had some advancements in the rights of factory workers as they had to match gig workers, and crime dropped drastically in some places because it just wasn't worth it anymore when you could climb out of poverty by delivering food.
