Doing a quick read: this appears to be the Gold Standard by another name.

Irving Fischer is associated with it, and Fischer was a mentor/inspiration to Milton Friedman, who, amongst other things, gave us:

> The Friedman doctrine, also called shareholder theory, is a normative theory of business ethics advanced by economist Milton Friedman which holds that the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits.[1] This shareholder primacy approach views shareholders as the economic engine of the organization and the only group to which the firm is socially responsible. As such, the goal of the firm is to increase its profits and maximize returns to shareholders.[1] Friedman argues that the shareholders can then decide for themselves what social initiatives to take part in, rather than have an executive whom the shareholders appointed explicitly for business purposes decide such matters for them.[2]

You know, the philosophy that Boeing's management has been following the last decade or so.

The post that you are replying to wrote:

> The thing that seems to characterize the economy now is that businesses will violate your trust in order to make money.

Under the ideology of Fischer and Friedman this is just fine. So I'm not sure putting forward an economic idea ("Chicago plan") by them would really help in preventing/reducing/rolling back 'Late Stage Capitalism' (or whatever) or accelerate its effects more. Probably the latter.
As logical as it is, I think advocacy of “degrowth” is a sure formula to put the far right in the driver’s seat and anyone who is seriously concerned about survival as forming another ingroup-outgrouo thing needs and answer to that.
OpenGL is available on macOS. The best-on-platform for Windows is DirectX12, also closed.

There are many things to complain about but spearheading a new type of graphics apis with Metal (before Vulkan and dx12) should not be one.

I don’t like the liberal do gooders in academia. The ones who think they are doing something meaningfully good by putting land acknowledgement statements in their syllabus are equally pathetic.

Usually there are a few equally qualified applicants for a given position. The goal is to not carry on the tradition of excluding those on the outside because they don’t “fit” with the current in group.
How do you propose companies approach goals setting?

Surely there has to be some way for a company to communicate to employees “Our goal is to grow 30%” and we will do this focusing marketing on a rebranding, focusing sales team on shifting to outbound sales model, product will build features x, y, z, etc…

Very simplistic example but companies need some way to flow goals down to smaller groups of people down the chain, don’t they?

In practice, Apple can't enforce it. The maximum they can do is to ban sales of products with iOS on non-Apple hardware like Hackintosh etc. But they are powerless against the law in many countries, especially in Europe, which explicitly allow modification of software for interoperability purposes.
Speaking as a non-American, if Trump goes to jail for election-interference, so should Biden for covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story with his extensive drug addict lifestyle and his use as an intermediary for kickbacks to his dad - which was passed off as "russian disinformation".

I mean the funny thing is that the reimbursement to Cohen was done in 2017 - after the election. And the two-year statute of limitations that was deliberately extended AFTER Bragg came to office in 2021 only covers up-to 2017 and not to a period before the election.

So, what-ever way you look at this, the law was deliberately modified to get Trump. And even the extended law could only cover 2017 and not 2015/16. The guilty decision was made by FEELINGS and not law.

This case will be easily thrown out on appeal. Hell, the most amusing thing about this show trial was the Judge forcing the defense to go before the prosecution for the closing arguments! Even the judge's daughter - Loren Merchan- is a fund-raiser for the Democrat party - who raised $93+ million while the trial was going on.

Since HN is generally left-leaning and anti-Trump, my comment will be extensively voted down but it doesn't change the simple observable facts of jaw-dropping, overwhelming bias in this trial.

The U.S. is unfortunately well on its way to being a standard Banana Republic. The worst part of this is that the world will now see this as standard operating tactics to adopt. Hey, if America does this in politics, we should do it too!

You sound like you live in a bubble. You must not know many people who have hobbies other than computer programming. Let’s say you buy a $2000 Mac and write it off in 3 years (in practice it’s more like 5, but let’s go for a worst-case scenario). What other hobby only costs $666 a year?

Those who don’t have one already can go work on something else. There’s a world of open source libraries for iOS, and no one has forced you to “want to work on” any of them. What a strange attitude, getting angry that other people (e.g. Russell Keith-Magee and Ned Deily — long time Python committer) want to do work that you can’t.

In the UK where we do not have net subsidies for ICE cars (because of taxes on car ownership and fuel) and we do not have minimum parking requirements (AFAIK - there are certainly newish city centre blocks of flats with no parking at all) this does not seem to happen. We have a lot of policies and a rise in the expense of owning a car, but we have not had the required rise in investment in public transport (we need a lot more of it, and cheaper).

The authorities seem to be quite happy with an outcome that means poor people will just have to travel a lot less. Do you think this will be greatly different in the US?

The insight here is something like C++ might be more amenable to Co-Pilot help due to the sheer volume of C++ code out there. In essence, this might turn out to make C++ a lot more usable with AI Co-Pilots than something like Python (which has a lot of code but poor quality) or Rust (not that much code).
Why is that relevant? The organization he has lots of equity in due to his negotiations as a founder has 600M customers and 9k employees. The public markets still believe it might be worth a few billion dollars for an organization that has 600M customers with recurring revenue.

The “tech bro” founder could have had billions of more dollars if he had dumped all his Spotify shares years ago.

It does not mean the organization is making a ton of money, or has any pricing power. An alternative is Visa or Verisign of Intuit or Microsoft or Qualcomm or Apple, those businesses have fat profit margins. Those businesses get to set their prices at the highest profit margins. Spotify barely limps along hoping one day it can eke out more than a low single digit profit margin consistently.

I feel like this is Python starting to take it's position more seriously and mobile is (for better or worse) the future that has the widest reach. If Python wants to keep its ground it has to keep up, and I hope it does.

That happens because the transit isn't used by enough normal people. The need for security personnel doesn't go up with more normal people, when you have the levels Europe has the crackheads etc gets removed from the trains.

You basically ensures your transit system will remain shitty forever, but that is easily fixable. The more good actors that use it the cheaper fixing it gets per person, you can have people who clean and security remove such bad actors at low cost since so small fraction are causing bad events or pissing where they shouldn't. Good people overwhelmingly outnumber bad people in the real world.
Sybil attacks are like DoS attacks. They are never going away fully. All webservers are vulnerable to DoS attacks and yet in practise it is pretty rare for major websites to go down because of them despite their simplicity.

But there are strategies to mitigate sybil attacks. Requiring hashcash style proof of work to participate in the network, increase state requirements to participate in the network, basing node id's on something the attacker cannot control (e.g. IP addressss), are common strategies often mentioned.

In the context of bit torrent, i guess it doesn't super matter that much. If your goal is to spy on the overlay network, while the entire point is to publicize the tracker data so what is the point of spying on public data? If the goal is to more actively attack the network - having bit torrent be a dual system with traditional trackers (and other ways to find peers) also, means that an attack causes degredation but is not a killing blow to bit torrent. Which in the cost/benefit analysis reduces the benefits, causing attackers to wonder if the cost is worth it.

Like denial of service attacks, the best defence is to make the attack expensive enough that it just isn't worth it.
agreed. i feel the real motivation is much more sinister and much more to do with the geopolitical situation than anything else.

the reality is, if anyone is seriously determined to commit what they know are crimes then there are many solutions, of admittedly varying quality, for having private communications outside of the mainstream apps available on the app store. even signal itself has an apk you can install on android from their website.

so, it's unlikely this will indeed help in the fight against CSAM or whatever else is purportedly motivating this legislation. the end result will be mass surveillance 24/7 on the vast majority of the population who aren't commiting any crimes at all. it seems to me like big brother's wet dream. ironic that this is exactly the thing the US/EU political leadership have been bashing the chinese for since forever.
An AI won't replace the CEO, because the AI can't take responsibility and step down for decisions the board of directors made.

Now having the AI replace the board of directors is a more interesting proposition...
Of course you do - but it's not a development cost per platform for any other platform except apple. If you already have a PC (which even for hobbyist devs can be taken for granted), then developing for any additional platform will not incur additional costs - except for apple.
> This kind of transaction is exactly what modern capitalism is trying to stamp out.

The author is attributing intentionality to something that has no free will or even sentience.

Capitalism and the market economy are simply people who owns things and who make decisions to buy things.

People need/want a certain item, value it to a certain extent, and are willing to part with some number of dollars to receive that value. If a large number of people do not highly value an item (e.g., sofas), then they will not be willing to allocate a large number of dollars towards it, so companies that charge a high dollar amount will not be able to collect them. If you are 'forcing' such companies to exist, then they have to be able to collect monies to not go bankrupt, which basically means you are forcing these high(er) prices onto the public. If the individuals who make up the public are not interested in these high(er)-cost items why should they be forced to pay the money to buy them instead of allocating their dollars to something they do value?

(Of course the prices need to reflect all the costs associated with making them, which is where things like (e.g.) carbon pricing comes in for the environment.)

No, but perhaps labor drops tenfold with switching from proper wood to glue mixed with toilet paper. You throw sheets of that pulp on a machine that laminates them, then throw that on a CNC cutter, add a bag with some screws and glue, a sheet with instructions, and ship the complete flat-pack piece of furniture to customer. Not much human labor involved, and it scales well.
I’m an anime fan (just about to watch the episode of Konosuba that came out last week) but my first take on those avatars is that they blur into each other and seem less visually distinct than those Gravataes.
There was a side by side comparision video (on twitter, cannot find) with Win11 with modern HW and Win98 with then-modern HW, cmd, explorer, notepad, paints, calculator all started instantly on older Windows, while on 11 every app has startup delay, and then also "paint UI so its all shown and responsive" delay.

Right. There is no way for me to verify that the Signal app isn't actually a trojan created by a US agency with a clever marketing team. It sounds far fetched, but it wouldn't be the first secure messenger that was later revealed to be a covert spying device.

I still use the app, because I trust Signal more than Facebook, but the encryption isn't why I trust them.

Yes, agreed. But he could have done a better job outlining and explaining the valleys to people first so they would be in a position to appreciate the mountain passes!

If you want to change the world, you must first acquire skills that almost no one else has. You need to become a specialist in two core skills and a generalist in everything else. When you discover something new but cannot act upon it, because your resources are limited or they lie out of your two specialities, you must share it with those are specialists or those who wish to become specialists as a result of your idea. You must be humble enough to let others finish your work and take credit and not insist on being the hero in the spotlight. Of course, if you can do it yourself, all you have to do is make sure that it is the right thing to do and spend decades working on it.
They think they are real business use cases, because real businesses use them to solve their use cases. They know that chatgpt can't solve this off the shelf, because they tried that first and were forced to do more in order to solve their problem.

it depends on the computer rather. The slowest I've experienced was a cheap laptop with Windows Vista where just right clicking on an icon to see the menu could take like 30 seconds. I'm now on an M1 macbook air where everything is pretty much instant. That said the other instant computer I had was a Psion 3 which came out 33 years ago so it's down to the individual design I guess. Windows has always been kind of bad to varying degrees.

The constraint was real, sure. But also, making lower binned/spec'd chips act like faster ones and then selling them for the same price, that was also something that happened.

If someone paid $500, they should get the $500 chip, not a $220 made to work like the $500 one. So both things can be true.

> AI influencers are already here, ...and amassing far more followers than actual people

The only one I've seen that gained any significant following is Neuro-sama, and that's largely thanks to Vedal's own constant involvement, during streams, in trying to improve her, by coding plugins to interact with games, training her, and combining different models (text and visual) and having her interact with chat and himself.

Essentially Neuro-sama is more of an extension of Vedal, and wouldn't exist without his efforts. Also half of what makes her entertaining is the banter between her and Vedal. He's a great straight man to her wacky sayings and non sequiturs.

Not saying there won't eventually be some big AI influencers, but I don't see them taking over anytime soon, or even most people prefering them to actual people even when they do become widespread (there will still be enough that do prefer the A.I. that I believe there can be a few that have big followings though).

I think for the most part it will remain pretty niche, though. I watch Neuro-sama sometimes, but I watch content with actual people far, far more often (Neuro/Vedal is like ~0.1% of all the content I watch right now, while I could be watching most or all of time, as there's quite a few archives on Youtube/Twitch...but I don't).

Also I'm assuming by making this claim you're aware of more than just Vedal/Neuro-sama, so I'm curious which AI influencers you're thinking of that have such massive followings.
This has nothing to do with capitalism. Quite the opposite, it’s about the needs of the many outweighing the lives of the few. There’s 200 million+ adults in the U.S., who save 5-10% of their waking lives by the US being car dependent compared to transit dependent places. Road deaths amount to 0.015% of that population. For every person who does, 7,000 live a more comfortable and convenient life.
I thought the "lifestyle business" negativity was chiefly around trendy businesses that are only viable due to being covertly subsidized, eg. by family money.

Even more detail:

YouTube continued building their own POPs AND network for ~18 months AFTER the google acquisition. Google did not have the network capacity to carry it.
(Fun fact: YT had 25 datacenter contracts, and opened them at the rate of 1 a month) starting from March 2006 - 25 contracts were set up in 2 years. At the time of the google acquisition, there were, ~8. (So yeah, 17 additions over the next ~16 months)

Also YT had a far more streamlined (but less optimized) network architecture. Traffic was originally generated in the PoP and egressed out of the PoP. The was not a lot of traffic going across backbones (Unless if it was going to a settlement free peer). Initially, it was egressed as fast as possible. This was good for cost, not great for performance, but it did encourage peering, which also helped cost. Popular videos did go via CDN initially.

YouTube had a very scalable POP architecture. I agree with area_man that the collapse was not imminent. (See 17 additional pops) There were growing pains, sure, but there was a fairly good system.

Also, as it relates to bandaid from a datacenter and procurement perspective, the original bandaid racks were in YT cages. YT had space in datacenters, and Google didnt. (SV1, DC3). Also, the HWOps tech who went on-site to DC3, ended up tripping a breaker. (They were almost escorted out).

Side-note: the evolution/offshoot of bandaid into the offnet caching system - now called Google Global Cache, is what really helped scale into provider (end-user) networks, and remove a lot of load from their backbone, similar to an Akamai, or a Netflix open connect box. Last I heard GGC pushed significantly more traffic than the main google network.

The google netops teams that were of help in the first year of acquisition was the peering team, and some of the procurement team.
The peering team helped us leverage existing network relationships, to pick up peers (eg: SBC)

The procurement team gave us circuits from providers that had a long negotiation time (eg: sprint)

Google also helped YouTube procure various Juniper equipment, which was then installed by the YT Team.
