I realize that this post is old, but there are some errors in the revenue tables:

- Dress #1 revenues are swapped for the "$5 less" and "$5 more" columns.
- Dress #4 units purchased are swapped for the "$5 less" and "$5 more" columns (from the study they've linked before the tables)
- Dress #4 revenues are also wrong, even without considering the previous mistake

This doesn't change the conclusion of the paragraph that much (42% instead of 48%), but this doesn't inspire me much confidence for the rest of the article
The point of my previous response stands... What is the difference in how one reaches a destination, if they in fact did make it to that destination? Granted, this does read a bit like an ethical dilemma where people with different values may come to different conclusions. But if you use Brave search today, you are getting results sourced from Brave's index, and not Microsoft/Google's, so in my mind, how they got to this point is now irrelevant. It's just smarter to do it how they did instead of starting from square 1.
Is Roblox anything other than exploiting kids?
Yeah. I know someone who uses cannabis without much issue (for pain management, every day, partaking for years with no significant issues), but I also know someone who had been smoking cannabis for a few months and had one instance trigger a psychotic/schizotypal episode which still hasn't subsided a decade later. They had a family history of schizotypal disorders on both sides. My strong recommendation to anyone with a family or personal history of any sort of schizotypal or psychotic illness is to avoid cannabis as a treatment, because the risk of an extremely debilitating outcome is not worth it. There is the possibility that it's just triggering earlier an illness which would have struck you in your thirties anyway, but A) it can still make it worse and B) triggering an illness that would have happened at 35 when you're 15 or 20 is still losing 15-20 years of health and inflicting a lot of suffering. It's not worth it. Talk to a doctor about other treatment options.

For anxiety something like diazepam might be less risky (more risky for average people, less for those with a history of schizotypal), or a beta-blocker. For pain there aren't many great options. There's opioids, which some people are going to need but which have significant issues with addiction and bowel health. Managed/staged consumption of ibuprofen and paracetamol can help deal with mild to moderate pain if your liver is functioning well and being monitored, but there are some risks with NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) and bowel health that you should be aware of. Non-pharmaceutical interventions like the use of hot packs, massage (be mindful of massage with MAST cell disorders), hot showers etc can all be useful in managing pain.

Does it? Has anyone priced out the premium integrity can command?

As anecdotally, it doesn’t seem to matter unless you have a sterling reputation. People with merely a good integrity reputation are better off selling it off until they are low ish integrity.

And if you compete on price, may as well abandon it entirely.
I think it is a few things together. The rootless and daemonless design leads to UX differences with Docker. Because of the differences, it isn't just a drop in replacement; porting applications can be a pain if they do anything weird (no network isolation, --containall isn't default and still is a bit different when on, etc). And Docker has a ton of momentum and usage.

She uses the word consciousness but she was clearly conscious beforehand, in terms of the definition: awareness of surroundings and knowledge. She was remarkably capable and had come up with untrained signs for wants and needs. She wasn't a blank canvas with no ability and no information.

Really what she is describing is the development of her self-consciousness, self-image, self-awareness, and awareness of the process of thinking within that, that comes from being introduced to language.

On the wikipedia page for her there is a quote:

I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten — a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, set it free!

It is as if what she's saying is that the loss of her sight and hearing locked her away from a dim sense of who she was before.

Most of us can't remember things from 19 months old as adults and likely wouldn't have been able to remember them at the age of seven. But she was locked away with sense memories of her 19-month-old experience of the world for all that time.

Her writing really is fascinating and eloquent. It brings to mind Harold Bloom's theory that Shakespeare essentially invented a terminology and model for describing our inner monologues.

It depresses me that there will now be a phalanx of motivated reasoners trying to shoehorn her story somewhere into their projections onto the current technological obsession.

It's not getting more complex, because the easy stuff you have always been able to do is still there the exact same, as easy as it's always been. There is more of CSS now, so you have more power to express styles for more mediums in better ways, but you only need to use what you want so you don't need to make things complicated at all.
The two common ways of dealing with this: 1. use a distinct type if your language supports it--ideally it could be zero-cost abstraction (such as in Go), 2. any int or boolean argument should be a keyword one so errors are clearly visible:

What is the “it” you are announcing disagreement with? You deny that breaking copyright is illegal? Or what are you trying to say exactly? It’s not an opinion that photocopying art is illegal and borrowing ideas is not, that is codified into law. Declaring disagreement with that idea seems silly to me, so I assume you mean something else, but it’s not clear what you mean. This isn’t a convincing argument, it seems like hyperbole to me.

The authors of copyright laws, and the Berne Convention, did happen to write down what they intended, and they do make an actual distinction between stealing fixations and stealing ideas, and they clarified that stealing ideas is not covered by copyright laws. There are other IP laws that cover some forms of idea stealing.

> The idea that AI can only produce remixes […] is simply false

Why do you believe that? We know exactly how it’s built, we know what the algorithms do, and there’s nothing in there capable of original thought. It only interpolates, it does not extrapolate. AI is trained on examples, it builds a Markov model that reproduces what it learned, statistically, and locally reproduces what it was shown. We can prove it without engaging with the system, because we (humans) built the system. It’s deterministic and mechanical and repeatable. What exactly do you claim it’s doing beyond this? Be specific.

> I mean, FUSE is by no means the only offender with syscall return values. Before execve()ing your program, I can install a seccomp filter that makes any syscall return any errno.

I would put Seccomp and FUSE are different buckets. Seccomp is more like ptrace, it's hooking right into the process like a debugger. If it's actively sabotaging your process you have already lost, it could make mmap return the same pointer twice for example.
FUSE is different, the kernel sits between the process and the fuse server. So the kernel is in a position to uphold its API contract.

Certainly it’s been near-universal with gas pricing for pretty much forever to tack on 99/100. Any station that didn’t do it would have most people punishing it in a price comparison. Of course, pricing like $0.99 is extremely common more generally.
What didn't cut it for me some months ago was precisely the seamless navigation I can get in tmux and Neovim with the tmux-neovim navigator plugins. In Zellij it was no so fluid to jump between panes and Neovim. I wonder if it was solved, done differently but better with any new plugin or config.

> Maybe middle class, though my family was on the lower end.

Basically someone with the ability to pay for Internet and pay for the phone time. Obviously the class lines weren't exact and depending on where in the era (e.g. 1996 it was expensive, 2001 it was a lot more affordable) prices differed but it was definitely not something people in the hood or from Asian countries outside Japan and Taiwan could justify spending money on.

What's the best Apache or MIT-licensed python library for Diffusion Transformers?
I often find myself thinking about people in the older reaches of history, and how by many accounts life seems to have been - by our modern definitions - a less “purposeful” existence.

One which, by modern standards, would seem to have little purpose.

The vast majority of people did not - as far as we know - exhibit significant ambition.

When the nearest town was a day’s walk then aspiration may not have been to be king of the world, or to colonise Mars, but simply to be respected by your peers, and to live a good live, and to thrive within the bounds of your generational knowledge.

The planting and harvesting of crops; the fattening and slaughter of beasts: the long slow winter. The bringing forth of children.

I cannot hope to describe adequately that unconscious, yet conscious time of nothingness. I did not know that I knew aught, or that I lived or acted or desired.

When life was simply to exist - and to survive, often against the odds - did people have the same desires and needs beyond survival that many of us have today? When your community memory went back 500 years to THE INCIDENT - or 10,000 years in the case of some aboriginal communities - how did that inform your perspective?

I had neither will nor intellect.

When your entire existence is about trying to interpret your existence, what impact do external forces have on your interpretation?

I was carried along to objects and acts by a certain blind natural impetus.

When there is very present inevitability of death that informs your existence then do you make the same choices that we make today? If you were on of five children that lived beyond the age of three and one of four adults who lived beyond the age of 40 then did your natural blind impetus (yes, I realise her ironic humour) carry you down n a different less directioned way than today’s first world luxury of long life and leisure?

I had a mind which caused me to feel anger, satisfaction, desire.

And when you had neither sight nor sound but a living mind, as Keller did, and then that was brought to modern consciousness, I can’t help but feel that her lived experience represents a fractional moment in time where she was able to live, but was part moored in a weird sort of primordial society rooted in death, and cycles and rote. And had she lived today she would never have had that endless period of semiconscious liminal isolated existence. Today, she would have been nurtured from birth. And 50 years before she would have died - or been murdered - in her earliest years.

And here we all are talking about artificial intelligence and pan-galactic garbleblasters barely a blink of an eye beyond her epoch.

It sometimes gives you pause for thought.

what sort of software were you selling? Was it an app that is priced under 10 bucks? That would be very different from some enterprise software costing $500.
Zellij is pretty great, and I recommend others check it out. The UI is extremely slick, and getting a comfortable setup is nicer (to me) than tmux or screen.

Unfortunately, it's missing one key feature that keeps me from using it as a daily-driver: it doesn't appear to be possible to attach to an existing session by automatically creating a new tab or pane. iTerm2 has fantastic integration with tmux that allows it to directly create a new tmux tab for every native iTerm2 split or tab, and I was hoping to recreate that with Zellij, outside of iTerm2.

It _is_ possible to open a new tab with the `new-tab` action (or whatever it's called), but unfortunately, there's no way to do that "in the background": one of your open sessions always switches to that new tab when it opens. I don't know if this is a limitation of the session/tab system, but when I dug through the source, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why this was happening.

I did spend some time trying to contribute a flag to allow attaching to existing sessions with a new tab/pane, but the actual architecture in place back then made this very difficult to support without non-trivial refactoring (and at least at the time, Zellij wasn't accepting any major contributions that weren't directly aligned with the roadmap, which I respect: there's only enough time in the day to review random PRs).

I check back periodically; if this is made possible at some point, I'd love to switch to it.
> To be successful, they need a large consumer base, and a small seller base, who sell high quality goods (which is subjective, but mass drop shipping is certainly not what those consumers are expecting).

The only way a small seller base can support a large consumer base is if it's some form of mass manufacture. That more or less leads to drop shipping as the logical conclusion and optimization.

The water metaphor is fine for DC. The chain metaphor is fine for low-frequency AC. There's no really good analogy once you get to RF, or deal with the details of active components, then you just need to understand it directly. But the metaphors are fine for the simplified situations they're used with for teaching.

> Those pilots are in the minority

Their racked up line kilometres aren't though.

In the light aircraft domain working survey and dusting aircraft ideally work all the daylight hours with pilots on shift to take over as daily flight hours pass personal limits.

The economics are such that the planes are always aloft, parked at night, or being maintained.

Air Transport companies price light passenger and mail runs on the basis of daily, perhaps twice daily A->B runs, Air Tractor companies price on the basis of 100,000 line kilometres jobs completed as rapidly as possible in order to move onto the next, there's a backlog of mineral exploration and agriculture work demanding more craft and pilots.

> and already accept a much higher level of risk.

I'm sorry, are you saying that makes it OK to add more risk to low level drafting by just allowing any old drone up in the air anywhere at all?

Until some form of comprehensive regulation is resolved and upheld with drone operators required to get clearance for airspaces it's still better to err on the side of human safety now.
I feel the same way and thought about this in the past when trying to come up with a way to compare two subjective numbers. I can't calculate whether a clock with lit-up hands is 7% more valuable so I need to use subjective judgement and I didn't want the number itself to be influencing me in irrelevant ways. One of the options being just over a round number seems to influence me, and it's not even necessarily the 9-at-the-end effect: consider 253¤ versus 282¤ versus 312¤. Whether you pay 250 or 280 isn't a huge difference, but going for the one over three hundred... oof! (The prices are actually equidistant: each ~10% or ~30 currency units apart.)

I never found a solution, but one idea was to scale competing products to a range of, say, 13 through 17. That will never cross any round number boundaries and one also can't use shortcuts like "it's essentially a tenner". I think that's when I discovered that it's very often down to two options and that anything scaled down to a range of 13 and 17 will turn into... 13 and 17! Surprise! I was not the smartest teenager.

Have you, or has anyone else reading this ever noticed this or given it thought, or even found a workable approach?
