Hard work and struggle doesn't take anybody closer to success, it never has. It is one of the most common false beliefs and even false gods.

Do you think a panther struggles to fell its prey? No, it is a pleasure for the panther, it's a game.

Your approach is wrong. You shouldn't keep going with your failed pet project, you should abandon it and start something else. Be happy that you've only earned $200. Imagine if you were in the situation that you were earning more but still not as much as you should? Then it would be much harder to let go.

If you're looking for a project, something to turn into your own business, you will have to try several different things. And do not invest too much in them before you get returns. Sometimes you have a great offer, but nobody wants to talk to you. Why? Because people are idiots a lot of the time. There's nothing you can do about that.

Start some new projects, see what sparks an interest among others, and investing more of your time and effort when you see that you are getting returns. Abandon the projects without returns.

I make a living selling a service to the general public, that I personally don't consider a huge value add. But people are very eager to buy it, so why shouldn't I sell it?

I had another service I tried to sell that would have been an enormous value add for business clients. Like an all pros and no cons service, and I could easily demonstrate to them how they could save many thousands with the service per month while at the same time making their lives easier. Guess what? Nobody even wanted to talk to me. Sometimes there's a brick wall for no logical reason.

So try different approaches and follow the flow.

It would be nice if that was the case, but that's not how political and media dynamics work. Just because these folks like to pander to traditional values or spirituality doesn't mean that they'll be driven to further them meaningfully in their day-to-day work.

That is just about mianzi, no worries. Anyways, after reading the articles, it sounds like they are using older ASML lithography equipment, rather than homemade equipment from SMEE.

That's contrary to the reality. I live in a country sometimes described as the most successful communist country in the world, and our people's revolutionary train system is miles ahead anyone else's. "Communist" description is mere irony by the way.

I think allowing market principle to self-regulate cost performance of infrastructure investment has its own merits, but large scale infrastructure like train systems is not something that a commercial entity such as a train operators to just passively and inevitably move towards greater societal goals by nearsighted means of quarterly paperclipping, it's something that totaritalian subsidy and control could yield great results.

> But shutting down on a 3d print job, or in the middle of a game session fucking sucks.

I've legit had windows shutdown in the middle of an online p2p gaming session before.

absolutely ridiculous.
I tend to think differently. Coding is also a source of value. Why? Because people do what they enjoy. People do what makes them feel important. And people have an identity of being, for example, an assembler programmer. This will go on as long as they can afford it. That is as long as there's a market for some arcane language or skill. If there's no market, maybe they'll pursue it as a hobby. I think HN is full of this. Just two posts from today: compiling the vanilla source code of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom rendered via console.log(). (Interestingly both related to John Carmack.)

I guess the world could be a better place if we'd squeeze out value of every minute. But I don't see that fully also in business. Even Carmack says himself that he's not going to the final abstraction. So I tend to see this as a guideline one can strive for.
My data is in this list someone used for "research". They evidently correlated with Sony Everquest Chats, LinkedIn, Twitter, AOL, corporate email, Meta, Amazon Purchases, Natural Language Processing Data collections, some DFIR (digital forensics) data collection, HR records and so much more. I would say at the time they collected the info I was planning renaissance fest attire, studying security topics and frantically figuring out identities of some gamers who dogpiled on me as a few made genuine threats towards my life and livelihood.

I'd say yes, throw disinformation at at, as once I started noticing someone was really doing that level of tracking I did throw disinfo at it... a lot. The problem was with their interpretations from there of searches intentionally made to mess them up - as I neither had consent yet realized I was being stalked.

That went on and on and on - until people died - my father thought I was swatting him (I had a welfare check made - not a swat - as they were disclosing his financial advisor and info - he's white and safe presumably) . Yet yes, people did die. It is evident no one understands it is never just them in research or in a channel for conversations. The result of the whole thing was my childhood best friend also being left homeless and run over (by someone opportunistic in the whole process). My brother de-housed by a gang member a party kept sending about (one actually poisoned my dog). My father alienated. My sister used as a puppet for extortion instead of being rehabbed.

It's very very very ugly the string of deaths and alienation that came from what they thought was funny research into AI.

This old data needs to be located and disposed of or put into proper custodianship. It's grown teeth that cost lives. Throwing misinfo at it is just crapping up the Internet more to push to web 3.0, where the same problem will thrive. Requires legislation. Not quite relaxed enough to articulate how and what right now due to the extensive harassment that came about from it all. Maybe some day. It's been pretty terrorizing.

> It was probably built around the assumption that Apple can always fully scrutinize the binary of each application that makes it onto the device and remotely delete any apps that misbehave

AFAIK, Play Protect on Android already does this (or the checking and warning part) for side loaded apps. Apple already has Gatekeeper and app notarization on macOS, and both these are intended to check for malicious apps and unsigned apps. The same thing can be done with a little bit of on-devide computation combined with Apple’s services on its cloud.
This is a terrible idea, but as long as it only applies to incorporated persons it's fine. By incorporating and creating a legal person that has very limited legal liability an entity gives up most human rights.

But if this is applied to non-incorporated human persons it will be very frightening and do much damage.
Hit really hard for me too.

I now do most of my information searching on ChatGPT instead of Google (because Google search has become so terrible). So the impetus for getting any LLM to give unbiased results is imperative. I don't have time to go searching through primary source material and the next generation surely won't either.

Of course I don't use LLMs to search for anything that is very important, nor do I blindly accept the answers, but if this is the path we're going on it's going to need bold principled leadership to oversee it.
PICO-8 sits in an interesting spot where it's not exactly a "toy" language/environment the way Scratch is, nor is it especially geared at learning, but on the other side of things it is based on a real programming language (lua) and there's an interesting scene for it where people flex pushing it to its limits making demos, demakes, etc, many of which are far beyond the NES-level capabilities it's meant to have.
There are probably a lot of people at this point who have never watched one of these types of game shows. Maybe if they thought about it, they'd realize that MH probably will always show a goat but it wasn't explicit in the initial question that Marilyn answered.

I don't think Gemini is well tuned.

That said, note that Ben didn't try and replicate the results using conservative examples. He's quite happy to accept the claim that Gemini has "the politics of the median member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors."

But Gemini also won't tell you that it's OK to paint Trump orange in order to stop a nuclear holocaust. If you ask it whether President Lula caused more damage to humanity than Stalin, it says "it's important to examine historical figures in context, considering complexities and avoiding simplistic comparisons." This is not leftist bias, it's an LLM that's been tuned not to make those comparisons at all.

Don't allow conservative bias to prevent you from examining the real parameters of the problem.

> these sorts of price hikes are what is priced into this business now

Pretty much.

> Tan is essentially running a PE buyout shop that is listed

I'd disagree on that. A PE play would severely underpay engineering and look for a short (2-3 year) turnaround by re-IPOing. Meanwhile, Broadcom tries to hold portfolio companies and pay AWS level salaries to hires.

Instead, Broadcom is using the same strategy that PANW and ZS are mimicking to own the F100 market.

There is severe vendor fatigue in the market, as various different apps are viewed as a massive cost inefficency and there is a very real chance of different apps becoming an attack vector (eg. Slack at Uber).

The only solution for this is vendor consolidation, as this

1. Limits the amount of RFPs you need to vet significantly

2. Narrow down any spending inefficiencies

3. Limits your attack vectors with a vendor breach or compliance overheads

This is why Niklesh Arora announced "Platformization" at PANW's earnings call a couple days ago, and is the same strategy Broadcom has been using for almost a decade, and what ZS+CRWD have started using as well.

This is a demand from F1000s now as well as institutional investors, and a massive reason why Broadcom's stock has gone from $40 to $1300 in a decade.
They’re Ivy schools; that money was already going to the ruling class and their political causes (e.g., as Supreme Court clerkships, civil service appointments, and etc.). As tax dollars, it will at least serve the useful goal of keeping the state solvent.

This is what I use for my monitoring solutions
Same here. All these talks is fine for people who are good at IT or cannot pay, for people who can pay for their old relatives we want to an option of closed garden we feel safe. If Apple is started to forbidden speech etc I would object. But they support devices that is decade old and close to that. I am ok with the close garden, not as a programmer but as a IT support of my old relatives.
+1 to this. At the big enterprise I work for, OpenAI directly is perceived as not legit enough. However they use OpenAI's products through Azure's infrastructure.
> Will "Our climate and ecosystems" have human representatives who relay these decisions and enforce them?

You mean things like earthquake detectors, disease monitoring, our weather services, climate predictions, air-quality testing, lead in your water testing? Then yes.

> has risen to become the dominant species

How do you define "dominant"? Homo sapiens is not not dominant in many ways: 1) in numbers; 2) in evolutionary lifespan (not even remotely closer there); 3) in genetic diversity; 4) our ability to independently produce our own food (photosynthesis, fungal detrivores), 5) lifespan; 6) ability to communicate via chemicals; 7) etc. etc. Perhaps you mean "in our ability to destroy"?

> this rise, human quality of life, and life expectation have continues to improve reaching its current high point

I say this to every single evangelical who comes to my door and says "You have to admit things are getting worse."

Acknowledging that we are better off than ever (I'd literally be dead multiple times over if not for modern science) doesn't have to be logically inconsistent with "we're going to hit a limit with how much better we can be if we don't stop messing up our ecosystems, in fact I suspect that the places that are "the best" have their hands in both pies.

I'm not going to disparage human religion, but when push comes to shove I'm going to look to science, technology and a better understanding of our world as a whole, particular how evolution led to species interacting with one another as the route to maximize our "greatness".

If TIP does work as well as the Food Allergy Institute claims, it should be subjected to a double-blind randomized clinical trial that surfaces the risks and benefits, and then practiced across the US.

> This sound bite always comes up.

It's condescending and erroneous to dismiss what the OP wrote as a "sound bite." I imagine most people who are comfortable with arithmetic have the same thought when they learn of the size of most Ivy League endowments. Perhaps you work in circles where factoids about Ivy League endowments are passed around as "sound bites" (where?) but it's not as if the essentials of this aren't really obvious.
Which size model are you using? Large isn't terribly good, but Next is alright. It's not close at all to GPT-4, but I can see some use cases I'd try it for (and will be).

Auditing classes, when allowed, gives you access to everything being enrolled typically does, for the same cost, without any grade associated with it.

> The equivalent in the case of Google would be that it is not enough to not be evil; one must be “anti-evil” as well.

This sentence alone, and within the paragraph that hosts it, is pretty meaningless. Their (even benign) racial restrictions are the result of not just timidity but also their internal anti-evil signals. Not addressing that in the Stratechery article seems short-sighted.

In fact, this whole article builds and then just ends, without saying anything particularly poignant. It's like a movie review that mostly recounts the plot of the movie and ends with one or two sentences about production or script.

Google doesn't want to offend or be racist, which is their "don't be evil" directive. The boundaries of those controls weren't well thought through, and were mostly limiting gates, without some pass-throughs for reasonable requests.

I think Google needs to do better, but this article isn't the insightful critical salvo he meant it to be.
>> Who decides what constitutes "harmful"?

Government. The same people who set speed limits, tell pilots they cannot drink while flying and decide which drugs are too dangerous to sell in vending machines. Don't like it? Vote in someone different.

In Canada, that will mean a committee which will take public and industry input, talk to victims and consult with law enforcement. They will set some rules, along with a complaints and appeals process probably headed by an ombudsman of sorts. If Canadians don't like it, they will either tell their government to change things or elect a new one that will. It is almost like someone had designed a system so that a few people could represent the will of the population without everyone having to break out the pitchforks.
Maybe not, but apparently somebody asked it to generate ice cream and would only do chocolate not vanilla....
Speaking from experience, the 10-20 euro fares are not always available on flights. But then again, cheap fares are not always available on the trains either, especially at the times most people want to travel (Friday or Sunday evenings, etc). Also flying takes longer because the airports are not as central as the train stations, and you need to go through more luggage checks, board with more time to spare etc.

I think competition has helped drive down flight prices, and since they opened the Madrid-Barcelona high speed line to competition prices have dropped a lot for the train as well. If you compare Madrid-Barcelona to Madrid-Sevilla for example, the price difference is really high and much more than the distance would imply.
I hate the modern day we live in where every single person is obsessed with making sure people who think differently than they do should be silenced. This is not limited to one group, this is pervasive throughout all discourse everywhere, and it’s getting so exhausting.

Come on. Their workers are abused because North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship, not because of sanctions.

If sanctions have any contribution, it's pushing the abuse outside of North Korea, which makes it more visible and possible to investigate.
