I think the primary difference is in the communities. Every six months or so I log back into Mastodon and the discussion there is one hard 'Nope' for me. I don't understand why I'd voluntarily read a platform where every other post is a 'call out' of something 'problematic' according to the warped world view of '@CatMomLibrarian' or something similar.

Cutting out the Nazis from Twitter is a great start, but Mastodon has done this by simply doubling down on the other end of the horseshoe. It's Truth Social for the other fringe.

BlueSky seems somewhat richer in normal people, but that probably won't last if the platform is successful over time. It seems in the nature of social networks to be taken over by parasitic outrage grifters.
People get too caught up on the listed/current PE, but what matters is forward PE. The stock market is about the future, and growth company PEs as listed are always going to be behind.

I vaguely recall trying to test out of the Calc (first class in the series) course in college; the test covered topics that not only AP Calc in High School didn't, but that we didn't even get to by the END of the calc classes as part of the program I was in at that college.

> As the old saying goes, one becomes more Right/Conservative/Republican(?) the older they get.

Once again, I'm breaking molds. The older I get, the more liberal I get, at least with the current leanings of today's "conservative" party. Banning books is atrocious to me. Dictating women's health is insulting. Allowing businesses to be considered a person flabbergasts me. Knowingly denying scientific evidence on pollution is not only insulting to me but future generations. The list continues to go on that I honestly do not understand how just because one gets older they are supposed to suddenly think these things are okay.

Clojure is a really interesting and well designed language with bad error messages and bad official tooling. It feels very sloppy.

Compared to Go, it has a weak stdlib, is more memory intensive, and generally slower. You get beautifully concise code but it can be very hard to follow (or return to after time away).

Go can look completely idiotic or unbelievably focused and practical, depending on the light. It is painful to give up Clojure’s very strong selling points but I find alternatives to be more pragmatic.
Bird flu makes itself most prominently known in chicken farms, yes, but they are brought there by wild birds.

You could have the cleanest, ethicalest, modernest chicken farm known to man, but there's only so much you can do until a wild disease sees a high population density and says "I'mma infect that".

To the extent that there are, the work of Angus Maddison seems to be the most substantive, cited, and rigorous:

Which is on the low side for an entertainment software company. Also worth noting that most of their Ticketing growth is coming from international markets, where they aren't at all a monopoly, and yet the margins there are the same... and it is even more misleading than that, the denominator for that margin isn't including the bulk of the price people are paying for the ticket, which flows through to venues (where the margins are even lower). Per said same report, if you add Ticketing & Converts --and Ticketmaster sells tickets for a lot of other customers who aren't Live Nation, so if anything that is under-counting the total value of the tickets sold by Ticketmaster-- the combined margin is around 8%. So that's ~8% of the money you spend on a ticket that is going to Live Nation.

In fairness though, I did misspeak. The margins on ticket resale are quite big (and that's a driver of much of the profit margin in that report). That's usually not what people are referring to when they say "junk fees".

When people refer to "junk fees", they're normally talking about the fees associated with primary ticket sales, which have much lower margins (closer to 7-8%), because most of the money for those fees flows through to the other parties involved in the event. This has all been documented on several occasions. TM's blog actually recently put out a decent article walking people through it: https://blog.ticketmaster.com/the-truth-about-ticket-prices/.

The primary ticket sales service game is largely about volume. You've got an absurd amount of money being exchanged, so taking a small bit of it can work out to significant revenue, but it doesn't dramatically change the price people end up paying for their tickets.

To me, worse than the fees, is all the crap "promotions" that Ticketmaster tries to get you in on after you decide to buy your ticket from the venue... and it's a pretty good signal about the low margins on those sales. It's super annoying, but it makes sense for them to do it because any lost sales at the end of the funnel there are comparatively a small price to pay for the money they're getting from the promotions (which generate about half as much revenue for Live Nation as ticketing, but at less than a third of the cost).

No question that people are getting a raw deal when they buy tickets on Ticketmaster, but the perception of the problem is really different from the reality.

[For transparency: I spent 7 years in the live events industry. I now have nothing to do with it.]

New Internet Thing, Chapter 3 (Janet and Walt Come to Visit)
I got into a job in corporate IT at a good company and then moved through a bunch of roles, including putting together one of our first data science/ML teams. A couple years later when I was doing product work, gpt 2 came out, so I had started working with it for fun and writing Points of View for our company about how we could leverage these technologies and what the market dynamics would looks like and implications, etc. (I am basically a dollar store version of Ben Thompson.)

It was mostly dismissed at the time, because Alexa and Siri were what people thought of, but when ChatGPT got released I was in a great position and was able to quickly ship. Now I lead that capability for one of our relatively large subsidiaries.

For me, what lead me here was mostly a fascination with the decreasing marginal cost of knowledge work. There is something about building these types of products that is just very fun and feels like cheating, I love it.
The "Lisp Curse" is a concept suggesting that the power and flexibility of Lisp lead developers to endlessly customize their development environment rather than focusing on building end-user applications. While this notion has some anecdotal merit, implying that Lisp's versatility can sometimes divert focus, it's not a universal truth. Successful Lisp projects exist, and many developers thrive using it productively. The alleged "curse" is more a commentary on the potential for distraction with highly flexible tools, not a definitive outcome.

It's an essay, not an academic paper. The entire "Lisp Curse" essay can basically be counteracted with Big Lebowski's "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

Plucking strings is usually synthesized using Karplus-Strong synthesis which is a very short delay line loop with a low pass filter. The delay gets excited with a short burst of noise. The length of the delay line tunes the string.

Karplus-Strong can be extended in ways to simulate different types of plucking, acoustic pickup at bridge, or electric pickup at any point along tbe string, and plucked at any point along the string. Body resonance can be simulated etc. It's a pretty fun synth technique to play with. Amazing to take beyond simulating conventional instruments.

Vision didn't "win" in any way, shape, or form. The only products on the road that offer actual self driving don't rely on vision only, they have vision + lidar + other sensors.

Teslas are not "self driving", they don't allow you in any way to rely on the car alone, for any length of time, to drive itself: it's the drivers who are preventing accidents, not Tesla's FSD. When drivers of these vehicles lose attention, accidents do happen and people have died.
I think the point about clothes is exactly the point I was trying to make: everything you are alluding to that gives "value" to expensive clothes is an artificial construct. A fashionable jacket is fashionable because people agree that it is stylish. That doesn't make it "better" at being a jacket. More to the point, I can only feel a disparity between Mr. Gates and myself by convincing myself that style matters.

His house is bigger. He can only occupy one room at a time. I know where his house is: I lived across Lake Washington from him. I've seen the houses across the lake from his, with the exact same view, and they are worth 1/30th of his house because they are 1/30th as big. But again: he can only be in one room at a time. I'm not saying there's no difference; I'm saying there's nothing like 30x difference.

I'm not sure I comprehend your point about hiring people to do work. 100,000 people using 100,000 iPhones are not 100,000 times as capable of doing most things.

In short, no: expensive things don't take on (many) additional functions. That was exactly my point, and I don't think you've disproven it.
It can be if one wants to. For example river has its own protocol for letting clients arbitrarily position windows. There's a builtin one that does tiling, and then a bunch of user-created ones at https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/master/pages/Comm...

In my experience, and I honestly haven't put much thought into this, but the 'marketing' behind math is pretty bad and I'm not sure if I have any good ideas. For kids like me, that quite frankly didn't give a shit about anything, it was hard to realize how anything I was learning would help me in my future - especially with complex mathematics. Later in life I realized how it opens up a greater understanding of almost anything, and can be a super power akin to mastering MS Excel in the corporate world.
I personally don't know if you are either, but I have had a long chat with Andrei about D. His warm praise and enthusiasm makes me think you are!
The lack of understanding math is itself a cognitive issue. Especially when we're talking about signing up for loans.
This doesn't sound very likely. In order to show pixels on a screen, something has to write those numbers somewhere. Screenshot should be writing those pixels to a file as an image format, not consulting whatever programs are running to ask if there are areas that they don't want to draw.
Yes factory farms are basically a training ground for viruses to learn how to spread.
Yes. I think that is the objection. But it's absurd. It's not like the FTC has been sitting on its hands the past 3 years. Last year, for example, they sued Amazon for illegally maintaining a monopoly. In 2022, they sued Walmart for facilitating money-transfer fraud, Harley Davidson for illegally restricting customers' rights to repair, countless health insurers to block illegal mergers. In 2021 they sued Frontier Communications for advertising false internet speeds, Lockheed Martin from illegally acquiring Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Nvidia from acquiring Arm Ltd, etc. There are hundreds of cases this FTC has brought in the past 3 years. Cynically saying "LOL ELECTION YEAR" at this case, because it's the first case you've paid attention to is just... so comically predictable.
The force (weight of a car in this case) and the material of the contact surfaces are the biggest (theoretically the only) factors affecting the friction. But the members of the US Summer Tire Club don’t get that.
Right, right, right. So what we really need is for politicians to be consistent and never do anything at all, including during election years, because they don’t really mean any of it (as we wise folk all know).
I just talked to a neighbor, he said his startup has the exact same clause in their employment contracts!

Yeah, my impression is that a lot of non-public startups have "secondary market transactions allowed with board approval" clauses, but many of them just default-deny those requests and never have coordinated tender offers pre-IPO.
who’s to say it would be engineer employees responsible for sending (or stopping?) the signal? For all we know it’s the US government with the finger on the button.
Let's however not get too caught up in feel-goodism that somehow breaking up Ticketmaster is ridding the live entertainment industry of some external leech that everyone hated.

You should realize that venues and artists are equally beneficiaries of what Ticketmaster enables. In a sense they enjoy having Ticketmaster be the hated scapegoat for high prices that they then also enjoy the benefits of.

Without Ticketmaster who knows how much less tickets would sell for. And venues get paid a cut by Ticketmaster. Artists get paid a cut by Ticketmaster. Sometimes those parties are glad for that value extraction from the concertgoer to be done on their behalf, and to be blamed on an entity that diverts attention from the fact that they want more $ too.

Ticketmaster did not just emerge to prey on an unwilling helpless industry. They occupy a niche that is part of a semi willing ecosystem.
Holy crap it is crazy that this is possible at all, let alone offline and local, let alone free and open source. Just, wow.

Short answer: the people doing this think it's going to fuck short sellers over.

We had a tree topple in our backyard last year during a rainstorm. Several days later I was working with a crew, cutting it up; one of the gardeners working on the top branches of the tree waved at me and beckoned me over, and when I got there pointed out a sloth, still tightly gripping a limb of the fallen tree. We cut the branch that it was on, and then carried branch and sloth over to the nearest large tree. The sloth relatively rapidly transferred to the trunk of the tree, and then relatively rapidly ascended into the canopy, where we lost sight of it.
> While I believe everyone should love mathematics and keep learning it as long as possible, forcing adults to study it is counter-productive. Lack of inclination to study maths also shouldn't stop people from attending university

The writer mentions that allowing students to slip by without math limits them to mostly economically unproductive majors. If they are going to limit themselves to only these majors, are they getting value from attending college at all compared to the debt they will be saddled with?

Yeah but you're missing out on what you imagine parenthood is, not the reality of what it is. I'm not saying parenthood can't be great, and most of us are biologically wired to want it, but there's also a far-from-zero chance that it can be heartbreaking. If, for whatever reason, you did not get to be a parent, you can still help children in many other ways and you can still live a life of positive influence in your community and among those close to you, and you will have done far more good with your life than many parents do.

The inevitable lifecycle of any marketplace

- Individual sellers in this sector struggle to get seen among all the big corporate offerings. Let's make a marketplace to help them find and connect with customers!

- Wow! Now small businesses in this sector can make real money! <-- here is where the original business plan ends

- So much money that new people are trying to get into the sector now...

- That means there's money to be made selling the ability to enter the marketplace to those people

- Big businesses are happy to franchise their offerings out to people who want some of that sweet marketplace money

- Market economics of a never-ending supply of new rubes looking to get a piece of the action, and the dominance of the big suppliers, makes sure their resellers' margins are cut razor thin, and big business collects the bulk of the revenue

- Marketplace ends up full of get-rich-quick-scam victims undercutting and driving out of business the very small sellers the marketplace was set up to benefit

AI means you can skip the MLM scam component of the process and just destroy the marketplace with sock puppet bots.

Innovators dilemma? Or what happens when well established publicly traded companies become legally beholden to quarterly results and shareholders' / investors' expectations?

The financial system and the economic system encourages rolling the dice on (e.g) Tesla, but not doing the same on (e.g.) Ford. Furthermore, the downside of tying (executive) compensation to results is it "inspires" short term thinking, short term vision and new Coke results.

Sure there are a handful of exceptions and outliers (e.g., Apple) but isn't there always? Is it really a dilemma when the system is strongly wired to keep you on a narrow path?
