Right, you consider the pros and cons and buy it. Everyone will always want every pro, but when tradeoffs have to be made, which features get the axe? I think they're already making the best tradeoffs. The video game industry is quite competitive, LTS would cost money, and they need to make money somehow, so this is the gotcha they chose instead of subscriptions or higher prices.

It's also a totally unnecessary entertainment product, so the fact that people keep buying it shows they're happy enough with it.

"Research shows that AI systems with 30+ agents out-performs a simple LLM call in practically any task (see More Agents Is All You Need), reducing hallucinations and improving accuracy."

Has anyone heard of that actually playing out practically in real-world applications? This article links to the paper about it - https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.05120 - but I've not heard from anyone who's implementing production systems successfully in that way.

(I still don't actually know what an "agent" is, to be honest. I'm pretty sure there are dozens of conflicting definitions floating around out there by now.)

That was smart of them to take you up on your offer! It reminds me of something I read that said if you are trying to sell something to someone and they're budging, ask them what it would take to change their mind. It's kind of a trick question, because often, whatever they request can be provided (or at least an equivalent), and once the salesperson provides it to them, it's very hard for them to say no. Most people want to appear consistent in their behaviors.
It's the latter. There is already an 'official' hashtag and everything.
Except in the context of your jam example open source has always meant free software and has never meant non-free licenses. Hence the term source available.

And now "fair source" are you kidding me? "Business friendly" yeah have fun. It's your software and your license. But you don't get to unilaterally redefine what we understand to be open source just because you're butt hurt you got called out on your misuse of the term.

It's political activism to terminate service over TOS violations?

It was pretty simple really - all they had to do was not lie about Cloudflare endorsing them (per the contract that had extremely standard boilerplate language about such things).

People seem to get really upset when Nazis are held to the same basic contract law standard anyone else would be held to. Just because the politics of promoting hate makes it hard to find vendors, it doesn't mean that vendors need to make a special TOS just to coddle those that do.
I've opted to do this myself by buying a VPS for ~$5/month with Digital Ocean. It runs a Wireguard server and nginx, and then my home lab router connects via Wireguard. Nginx acts as a reverse proxy to serve content from my home lab. I have (relatively speaking) complete control over the entire path.

When running Cloudflare tunnels, opening a port on your router, or having a VPS+Wireguard, it's important to think about security and covering your butt. I run everything in a DMZ subnet that has firewall/ACL rules on both the DMZ and my other networks to restrict any access. I put bandwidth caps on individual VMs/containers. I also use Wireguard to reroute all outbound Internet requests from the DMZ so that my home lab doesn't use my home IP address at all.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but the last thing I need is to forget about some web project I was experimenting with in my lab and suddenly the Internet connection I pay for is being used by some bad actor to participate in ddos or to resell access to my trusted residential IP for scamming purposes.

That's what, in my view, makes the whole thing insane. The very idea that companies (or people) have some sort of obligation to spend their advertising dollars in any particular outlet is very hard to comprehend.

I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet that Musk is a person who believes that spending money is a form of free speech. If that's the case, then how does he square the idea of "free speech" with the notion of "compelled speech"?

Not really smart to call it a "co-pilot" because Microsoft has really really sunk their teeth into that term :) Sounds like a trademark suit coming (though for a little blog I doubt they'd go to that trouble, admittedly).

Personally I think it's a pretty stupid name and it's extremely confusion with around 30 different services all marketed under the same name. It's a total mess and users in our company don't understand. People request github copilot and ask why they don't see it in excel, etc. And I can't even blame them.

It's called "leasing". A mouse is too cheap to be leased though.

I can see the case for expensive tech a hypothetical sophisticated maglev gaming keyboard. Or a very high quality expensive streaming camera, in the same league a top-tier brand like Sony or Fujifilm.

IMO, nothing they make right now would fit the bill. It would have to be a new product with expensive tech that makes it superior to anything out there in it's league.
> focusing on the ethical leanings of the author less relevant. I’d rather see more discussion about the sales script.

But why? Granted that discussion of ethical considerations are more likely to be divisive / inflammatory. But this is also pretty much the only direction to go if you want to make any discussion of a freaking sales-script intellectually satisfying and promote curiosity/inquiry.

This is literally just a guide to the most effective ways to manipulate people. We can try to avoid labeling that sort of thing as "evil", but then again if the abstracted psychology itself is what is interesting rather than the practical aspects of how to trick people, we should probably be looking at psych-papers instead of sales-scripts from famous scams?

Yep. (I'm in the US.) The transactionalization of aspects of both work and life is depressing. I think it's a confluence of multiple factors that may or may not be present in all circumstances: a lack of manners, a power imbalance, and/or a view that someone who provides a service is a widget rather than a human being.

Some data points:

- My next door neighbors in a small town residential neighborhood are poorer, but don't say "please" or "thank you" for anything.

- An entitled Brahmin dude I used to work with at a Big Name University™ grew up with a dozen servants never gave gratitude or used pleasantries.

- Some other employees at a MAANG I used to work for as well as other residents in the apartments I lived in had an attitude of "too cool for everyone else" and didn't use pleasantries.

Without rapport and humanity by showing a little real decency and compassion, life and business interactions become commoditized and cold, and that intangible cool or goodwill evaporates and nothing much holds people to each other or people to a brand.
> Personally, I find it impossible to stomach continuing with ad-based models.

Ditto, but I also feel the same way about subscription models.
Steve Jobs famously said Microsoft's problem is that they have no taste in design. I had the displeasure of having to use a fresh install of Windows 11 the other day and Bing without an adblocker was a complete horror show, big carousels of products and obvious ads at the top of the results screen you have to scroll past to see results, irrelevant news articles shoved in your face, the signal to noise ratio of Bing's search results page is abysmal. If Bing just copied the way Google's homepage and search results looked like in 2008 they would immediately start taking marketshare from Google.
Yes, cryptocurrencies not cryptography. Bad of me to use that contraction for anything but the latter.

Have they really made a significant difference? A bit of searching around resulting in a few articles with anecdotes, and if someone's life really was saved this way of course it made a huge difference to them.

But for some macro perspective the best I could find was the "Crypto Adoption Index" (https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2023-global-crypto-adoption...), where VE, or MD don't even register (AR barely does). In fact US is listed as having one of the highest levels of adoption, and it's basically invisible here.

Countries with nonfunctional currency systems usually do better by adopting an existing stable currency like USD or EU (or even better someplace economically coupled with them).

But I'm no expert and I'd be happy to be proven wrong. On a financial macro perspective cryptocurrencies don't even exist.
Thanks for the extensive comment, I agree with you!

However, the project should be viewed from a programmer's perspective, not from a mathematician's. In my opinion the encoding fits the task of approximating specific real and complex numbers good enough, while still being minimal and easy to understand.

For me it doesn't matter that one could encode functions that are not real or paradoxical, not permitting this was never the intention. I improved the wording in the article a bit to make this more obvious.

I do like your idea with the integer pair though, I may try that out in the future :)

That's a great point. So much of advertising is just providing awareness, too. I may not be in the market for a particular product, but if I've heard their ads a million times, even if they're annoying, once I go to buy, I will probably give them more weight than some unknown brand, especially if it's a low stakes purchase.
yeah, SF is only 800k people, it is pretty small, and the sunset, richmond, parkside, excelcior, and visitation valley neighborhoods are basically single-family subrubs.

Realistically, SF is only a city in it's north-east quadrant. the rest are cute, sleepy suburbs. And I say that as someone who lives in one of those neighborhoods.
Without Cloudflare, a lot of the internet sites you use daily would have had to give up rather sooner than later.

The dream of a free and equal Internet died on the day shitheads could rent 0wned devices for ddos attacks for 10$ an hour in bitcoin. There would have been a tiny window where governments could have stepped in and demanded that ISPs follow up and act on abuse reports, but Obama on his last legs didn't have the power any more and Trump didn't care.

Ideally, there would be an FCC regulation requiring ISPs above 500 customers have a time frame of two hours between getting notified of an attack originating from their network, investigate it, and cut off the other party unless they had shown evidence of effort to be a better netizen. That would also have led to economic pressure on Microsoft and other vendors (looking at you Java) to actually make their products more secure.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be out, but they pay those they care about well enough, and there were some good things I miss.

There was a time when Google was seen as the tech heroes of the Internet.
I've regretted designing APIs that return an array rather than an object in the past.

It's all about the extensibility. If you return an object you can add extra keys, for things like "an error occurred, here are the details", or "this is truncated, here's how to paginate it", or a logs key for extra debug messages, or information about the currently authenticated user.

None of those are possible if the root is an array.

If you’re about to run out of gas in a car it’s usually not a big deal - you find the nearest gas station and go there. Usually. There are exceptions like driving 100 miles of desert with no gas stations in sight and forgetting to put enough gas in. If that was the common driving scenario I’d bet way more people would run out of gas, and no warning light will help.

Flying a plane is often sort of like that - planning mistakes tend to become problems with large time windows where a warning light is way too late to affect the outcome. Flying into a long narrow canyon is another example where your fate can be sealed minutes before you actually fly into the mountain.

All of this can and should be made better with technology, but a lot of flying hazards are more complex than “warn the user about something happening in the next few seconds”.

CloudFlare has promised to side with their customers, paying or not, for these kinds of things. Any lawyer could have easily dismissed this takedown request as invalid, and prevented the company from making a sloppy move that throws into question their core promises to their customers.

Now we all know that any given Cloudflare customer is vulnerable to a fraudulent takedown request, because Cloudflare doesn't do their due diligence. That's entirely on CloudFlare.
This assumes that you know everything there is to know about the world.

Customers often do not know that products or even product categories exist and need to be informed about them.

> State codes (including that of Delaware, the preeminent state for corporate law) similarly allow corporations to be formed for "any lawful business or purpose,” and the corporate charters of big public firms typically also define company purpose in these broad terms. And corporate case law describes directors as fiduciaries who owe duties not only to shareholders but also to the corporate entity itself, and instructs directors to use their powers in “the best interests of the company.”

> Serving shareholders’ “best interests” is not the same thing as either maximizing profits, or maximizing shareholder value.

[..]

> More to the point, corporate directors are protected from most interference when it comes to running their business by a doctrine known as the business judgment rule. It says, in brief, that so long as a board of directors is not tainted by personal conflicts of interest and makes a reasonable effort to stay informed, courts will not second-guess the board’s decisions about what is best for the company — even when those decisions predictably reduce profits or share price.

The best marketing move for Microsoft is to fire all their marketing people that touch Windows.

An Operating System should be a tool, not a marketing destination. Get rid of all the useless telemetry that caused you to colossally ruin Windows 8 by removing the start menu button that "nobody used" and then "how do I turn off my computer" became the most looked up search term that year.

Microsoft has great products, all ruined by marketing departments.

Yep, that scenario is (somewhat naively) modeled as an infinitely-repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. The equilibrium in that game is just the monopoly price, i.e. MR=MC for the producers' aggregated MC curve.

So you have the monopoly price at one end (infinitely repeated game, perfect monitoring, no antitrust risk) and the oligopoly price at the other. It's a bit of a castle of cards that's going to fail wildly depending on which assumption you break. If the game is finitely repeated, for instance, the equilibrium is the oligopoly price.

One variant that's been in the news recently is rent-setting software. [1] Here the goal is not running afoul of antitrust. The problem is that it's partly a transaction cost effect, because landlords are publishing rents rather than targeting 100% occupancy (which would make deviating a lot more appealing than colluding for any landlord with less than ~50% of the market.)

If antitrust is not an issue and compliance monitoring is the problem, look for OPEC research.

Yes, shootings are terrible, but they happen everywhere because of our absurd gun laws. SF is not a standout, and is in fact rather safe despite your feelings.

Here's more stats for perspective:

- There were 53 homicides in SF in 2023, and per the FBI source, ~10% of homicides are random. So ~5.3 random killings.

- There were 26 traffic fatalities in SF in 2023 [1], all of which are random (They'd be a homicide otherwise).

You're 5x more likely to die from a motor vehicle than be randomly murdered in SF.
