That is a nice tool. I certainly think the graphs are visually appealing. I do respect the $39 upfront fee as opposed to (yet another) subscription service.

However, personally, I don't think I would purchase a subscription or an upfront license unless the app could provide something more... perhaps some way to further customize the image or fonts. For the most part, aesthetically pleasing graphs are not a major pain point for me especially when Excel or Python can generate something "good enough." If the objective of the app is to provide better visualization for casual users, perhaps some clustering or dimensionality reduction features (e.g. tSNE) might deliver value. Error bars would certainly be nice too. Just some thoughts.

Overall, I think you made a very visually appealing app that does what it says it does.

Google Doc always stores the files on the Google server, correct? In that case that is most likely an absolute show stopper for a German state authority.
Adding a script to regenerate good and bad binary files might have worked for this use case pretty well too.
There are no other avenues for marketing short-dated information to the general public. Books are the closest alternative, and they wouldn't work for reviews of new devices. For this stuff, everybody does google searches.
A lot of words without any concrete proposals on how to solve the problem.

Telemetry is captured because after-the-fact analysis can’t be done retrospectively otherwise. If you can solve that time travel problem, people would capture less telemetry. I think the key thing is if you can do anomaly detection to capture the rare events because 90% of telemetry is garbage happy case telemetry that doesn’t really give you any extra insight. But doing that anomaly detection cheaply and correctly is extremely hard.
Later in the article they talk about how they specifically approved up to 15-20 civilians to die with those marked individuals and would bomb their homes as a first option.

I’m disgusted by this, I don’t care anymore what happened in October, this needs to stop. Israel government cannot be trusted to run this war, it’s turned into genocide and we’re all complicit letting them do it and supporting them.

By the standards discussed in the article, anyone with a beef with Israel could justify targeting possible a majority of buildings in Israel. After all, most of the population is required to serve in the IDF.
They're priced that way because they compete with shuttle flights, and most importantly, they are far from a normal "bus" experience - the images shown at https://vonlane.com/ are accurate IMO.
The problem isn't that they decline, it's that they decline in a way that leaves a ton of bagholders.

If you're a rank-and-file employee at the company, no amount of dividend payout on your shares (if you're lucky enough to be given any) is going to make up for the fact that the CEO has decided that he'd be able to buy a new beach house with the bonus he'd get from closing your division. Slightly enhanced earnings-per-share won't make up for the fact that you no longer have an income or benefits, and the fact that the local economy has just lost an employer. And yet, that's what will happen, because the CEO has more shares and can make that decision.

We make the assumption that only a select few can possess the ability to be motivated by profits as expressed by increases in share value, and that, to an extent, is true: only a few shareholding employees have enough equity to see real benefit. That's only because we make it that way.

If you spread out the shares over more employees and involved them more in these decisions, they would still be motivated: they would want higher profits for their own benefit. It'd just have to be expressed as some other store of value than stock shares, and this doesn't feed the ego of the executive class. Imagine Elon Musk being told he's now effectively a public servant to Tesla who has to play politics with a far larger group of employees if he wants to keep his job, and that he'd have a very limited equity advantage over anyone else at the company. He'd walk out the door and not come back.

Disturbing indeed. I've been worried a push back in AI is coming and this sort of story could be a tipping point and certainly would justify a period of reflection.

And your probably right that the alternatives maybe worse, the folks behind Lavender could probably even prove it with data.. but there should be a moral impetus to always have a human in the loop regardless. And any such attempt to justify it won't capture the publics attention like a sky-net doomsday happening over the civilians in Gaza.

It sounds good, but progress is a thing. That AI workload you want to run, isnt going to do so hot on the m1 (it doesn't have the right floating point systems).

Its likely that the current m3 will remain usable as a laptop for a few more years due to extra ram and storage, but it has a shelf life for high end workloads...
I think privacy is really about power – we think the individual deserves privacy because it protects their personal autonomy from either corporate or state abuse. My view is that privacy is important because it's a prerequisite for self-expression – it's not just "oh you might have something to hide", it's that if you are watched/monitored then your behaviour will change.

Why is this different when it comes to corporations? First, some jurisdictions (e.g. the UK) argue that limited liability is a privilege because it provides extensive legal protection for those undertaking a venture. With that privilege come certain responsibilities and duties, one of which is non-anonymity. There's also a pragmatic argument that it deters bad behaviour which is another reason to justify this.

Second, I think it's _really_ hard to argue that being able to have an anonymous, offshore shell corporation is essential for your self expression. Especially not when you are using it to hide large amounts of money. In fact, this infringes upon other people's right to self expression by depriving the state of funding that it would use to provide services to them such as education, subsidising the arts, etc.

Those regions cover the majority of US population, so that is statistically the likely situation. There are a few significant cities (St Louis, Minneapolis, Denver...) not in a mega region, but most of the big cities are in one and so odds are your business is mostly in a mega region for statistical reasons.
> Everyone else is a civilian that can only be directly targeted when and for as long as they directly participate in hostilities, such as by taking up arms, planning military operations, laying down mines, etc.

There is some incredible magic that often happens: as soon as anyone is targeted and killed, they immediately transform from civilians to "collaborators", "terrorists", "militants" etc. Of course everything is classified and restricted to avoid anyone snooping around and asking questions.

In my mind, this is actually the problem. Over the past 15 years, the "web" has become increasingly platformized, and it's getting more platformized every year.

> It's not a "no true Scotsman" to point out that the measure that voters passed was never actually implemented. Some of the provisions weren't even due to kick in until later this year!

If the voters passed a measure, that caused substantial negative perception before it was fully implemented, then who's to blame?

Maybe the voters should have been clearer on the implementation sequencing.

> In reality, what happened is simple: voters approved an initiative, elected officials didn't like what voters chose, so they just refused to implement it, then called it a "failure".

How does this not suffice as an excuse for any bad results from decriminalization? What constitutes a sufficiently perfect implementation to validate negative outcomes?

Israeli officials are constantly being asked "how many dead palestinians is too many" in this conflict, and the answer has explicitly been "there is no such thing" way too many times. There is no upper limit on how many people can be killed to further their goals.

Not to me. I've lived in Dallas for over a decade at this point. I've visited Houston once. I've visited New York at least once a year. Putting aside that we're as far from each other as London is from Paris and Amsterdam, there is damn near nothing between us. When you add in the several hours you spend getting to an airport, getting through security, waiting for your plane to board, then the massive amount of time spent taxiing because DFW the airport is bigger than Dallas the city, the time difference between flying to Houston versus flying to a coast is negligible compared to your total door to door travel time, so frankly, Houston may as well be as far away as New York is.
It could also be a programmer who is within their legal right to start their own company, but who doesn't want their current employer harassing or singling them out for it.

Further common situations involve trying to keep details out of the public record because they can be abused by bad actors; ones who may be looking to spam you, engage in a frivolous lawsuit, or personally harass you/your family. At least these are some of the scenarios mentioned by companies that do asset protection.

Edit: In regards to harassment, think about the abuse retail, fast food, or other customer-facing employees endure for perceived slights. It feels easy to understand why average small business owners would want privacy and to keep things in legal channels. Personally, I think the government knowing who's in charge (Corporate Transparency Act) is a good halfway point, but it's not unrealistic to be concerned about leaks or abuse with that system.

That is, only members of the armed wing of Hamas (not recruiters, weapon manufacturers, propagandists, financiers, …) can be targeted for attack

It seems wrong that you can't target weapon manufacturers, can you cite a source? Weapon manufacturers contribute to the military action, and destroying weapon manufacturers contributes to military advantage.
> I think this is because we introduce a complicated way to calculate determinants and then we use determinants to calculate the eigenvalues?

Yes, the determinant should be taught and defined as the volume of the parallelepiped in n-dimensions defined by the columns of the given square matrix. This perspective makes it immediately obvious that the eigenvalues scale the parallelepiped in each of its dimensions (a basis of eigenvectors makes it even simpler). Of course the volume (determinant) must be the product of these scaling factors (eigenvalues)! Since algebra is too convenient for solving problems, this geometric intuition is often an afterthought if it's even taught at all.
In the end, what platform is free from scammers?
It's used for much more than that. I know many health care providers who use it for internal communication. (No need to lecture me - I'm not a health care provider, or a decision maker.)
Env0, Spacelift, and (my company) Terrateam compete with Terraform Cloud not Terraform. Terraform and OpenTofu are CLIs that turn HCL code into living infrastructure. The business model of these offerings, including TFC, is to provide the layer most organizations need above that, such as collaboration, interfacing with VCS, etc.
They can if they want. Plenty of companies run exactly that way, and high dividend stocks are greatly prized by a certain kind of investor.
So I'm a big fan of limiting complexity -- you generally don't want to add something to your stack unless you get value from it.

If you're getting started with LLMs, the first step is an API call to OpenAI (or some other foundational model) to get a feel for it, then think about how you want to integrate with your application. Burr can help standardize the structure, allowing you to think less about it at any given point (as logic is encapsulated into actions). Furthermore, the UI can help you debug.

With a few POCs at your company (assuming you want to iterate and get into production), Burr can help abstract some complex parts away (state management and telemetry), and make your code cleaner and more extensible, which can help you iterate quickly and explain what you're doing (you can always draw a picture of your app).

We think that it buys companies something they really want -- the ability to swap out implementations/vendors as it decouples the logic from application concerns.

So, if you have logic that's starting to get complicated (and might get more-so), I think Burr is good. If all you're doing is a single wrapper over a GPT-call, it might be overkill (or not! things tend to grow in complexity).
