The steps engineers will take to avoid chores! :)
Additionally, with early pioneer logging, another solution to avoiding having logs which are too large to handle was to not drop them in the first place.

In the Pacific Northwest, US, early loggers would leave the huge ones - to the point where pioneers could complain about a lack of available timber in an old-growth forest.

When the initial University of Washington was built, land-clearing costs were a huge portion of the overall capital spend. The largest trees on the site weren't used for anything productive; rather, they were climbed, chained together, and domino felled at the same time. By attaching the trees together, they only needed to fell one tree which brought the whole mess down into a pile and they burned it.

I think there's a lesson here about choosing which logs you want to move.

motion blur in the cameras?

IIUC, the controller needs to see what pose the arms are in, run inference on that and compute a next step of movement. If there's motion blur, especially with a simple rolling shutter webcam in the macbook, being too fast breaks the vision? That maybe, plus compute I suppose.

The data security point with LLMs is definitely relevant. There's a broader conversation ongoing right now about how teams will securely use LLMs, but from our conversations so far teams have been willing to adopt the tech. We've been working with startups up to this point, so we'll likely need to offer support self-hosted LLMs if we were to support enterprise or bring-your-own-keys for larger startups.

The hallucination point is interesting. I think a lot of products will need to solve this problem of having so much trust with the user that they'll blindly follow the outputs, but occasionally failing due to hallucination. Our approach has been to 1) only focus on investigation/root cause and 2) make sure it's easy to audit the results by sharing all of the results + supporting evidence
On MacOS, you can install whatever you want. On iPadOS, Apple's the rentier middleman with the App Store.

If the iPad could run MacOS, I'd search for a lightweight stand (like Roost or Nexstand K1), and use my own keyboard. Closer to ultralight computing. For a 2nd monitor, I'd use another iPad with Sidecar.
>Sounds like the real solution to this problem is the same solution to the housing market: Too many laws preventing new entrants, which prevents natural competition from lowering prices.

I could buy this for many industries, but real estate has no functioning free market dynamics because there is no external pressures to facilitate maximal usage of land value (and therefore sale or productive usage like building more homes), in fact most of zoning laws do just the opposite - they encourage low yield development for the sake of holding existing land owners value higher.

A land value tax would flip this narrative, applying an actual market force to real estate market dynamics. This would incentivize maximal productive use of land to pay for the land value tax. Not to mention, land value taxes are easier to implement and assess value on. It also puts an actual value on what makes the land valuable - the community aspect, like being located near shopping centers - and returns money back into the community. Combined with upzoning, you would see more churn in the housing market and massive incentivizes to build more housing, because you would finally have a pricing pressure on the value of the land.

Changing zoning alone isn't going to make the same dent either, because it does nothing to incentivize the sale of land, same with changing any regulation around housing. You need something that facilitates land owners to actively make productive maximal use of land value, and an LVT will do that.
How many of the new games (that looked better) had better circuitry on the game cartridge? I didn’t have a Sega (NES!), but cartridge systems could potentially have a lot more options to work with than the base system. For example, the Pokémon cartridge for the gameboy had its own battery powered memory (IIRC).

Not to take away from your argument - the more you know a system, the better it can be exploited.

However, in those days, it wasn’t always as simple as it seemed. This was especially true when you were (effectively) plugging expansion boards in with every game.

Here’s an example from the NES side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_controller_(...

The reason why Super Mario 3 looked so much better than the original has a lot to do with evolution of these chips (on the cartridge).
Surprisingly great post. Works that last are often being championed by critics, gatekeepers, or the next generation of artists. On some level there's just too much great art in the world, and it's more fun to appreciate the same art as your peers instead of consuming only obscure pieces and having nobody to talk about them with.
Ahh, yes! I’d love to add an undo. (There is a rollback system on the backend, but I use it for when the AI gets ahead of itself and starts speaking too early. I could repurpose that for undo.) But otherwise, adding a text field shouldn’t be too hard.

You can interrupt and ask the AI to do what you wanted to do in the first place, also! Depending on what the action was, it will often just correct the dialogue and continue on.

Thanks for trying it!

It's important to note that nationalised healthcare doesn't preclude you from paying for services privately. Unlike with insurance-based systems, you just find out the prices up front, and if you like the price and can afford it, then you pay it. Plenty of people in the UK pay for cosmetic surgery and the like.

This is completely independent of how health care is paid for. It might happen that a similar law is passed in the US, and the same would apply over there, private health insurance or not.

>This is flagrantly bullshit, unless you're claiming that there's some sort of intellectual and moral difference in European human beings because... reasons...

There is most certainly a cultural difference. I’ve lived in the USA for 10+ years. My “self-indulgent and smugly” European opinion is that the average American is a lot more individualistic than the average European. Which could partly explain why they just see things differently. Why is it such a scandalous thought that our morals and priorities are just different?

> The EU is as corporatist and protectionist of big business as it's possible to be…

I disagree. I’m more optimistic. There are a lot of good people and organizations within the EU working very hard to level the playing field. A lot of good work has been done. I can certainly say that I prefer being an employee and consumer in the EU, which is the reason I moved back here. Compared to the States, yes I think the EU deserves the pedestal. No doubt.

>Does your snuggly self-indulgent…

No, I’ve met many hard working honest American Entrepreneurs. But big businesses, yeah, for sure they want to squeeze the American labour force and consumers for every last penny. Just like big EU businesses do. The difference is that our governments are doing something about it.

When discussing startups maybe that's not relevant, but the article says "tech employees", not "big tech and startup employees". A lot of people forget that most companies who employee tech workers are neither big tech nor startups, which in turn means that most tech employees are at neither. This is likely increasingly true with the end of free money.

I think a lot of these types of articles make the mistake of overemphasizing the particular over the general.

Here's a general way of putting it:

Today, yes even in 2024, areas with concentrations of talent in [insert field] outperform those without those talent concentrations, despite higher costs.

If you disagree, it's best to disagree with this thesis. If you don't disagree with the thesis, then it just becomes a matter of establishing 'does this area really have a concentration'.

Example: media, NYC.

Another example: AI startups, SF.

I'll also mention that SF isn't fully standalone here. It's strength is largely due to the strength of the Bay Area as a whole and the companies with HQs there (Google, Meta, Apple, etc).

Using GrapheneOS also means:

- Giving money to Google

- Using hardware that is ultimately controlled by Google

- Hardware replacement costs every time Google support runs out, instead of when the hardware stops working

- Ongoing environmental impact from replacing your hardware every time Google support runs out

It might make sense to accept those problems if your threat model can only be addressed by Graphene, but for the rest of us, something else might be a better (and more responsible) choice. At least for now.

I would love to see non-Google devices with the features that GrapheneOS requires.
Understanding FastHTML Components and Architecture (A Claude Conversation)
> If a company is able to price a product above their competitors and still succeed (e.g. by investing more in marketing), that's legal too.

Yes, but it also runs counter to the idea that free markets tend to drive prices down through competition. In reality, 1 of 2 things happens:

a) companies try to differentiate their products enough to not be direct competitors (e.g. exclusive content on streaming platforms, or platform lock-in), and both/all charge more

b) one company buys the other to kill their competition

No one actually lowers their prices to compete anymore, because we abandoned enforcing anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws decades ago.
> but that means having link farms and context specific execution envirements baked into your praxis.

It's nowhere near as onerous as you make it sound.

I get the impression that you miss the experience of having a single environment that you can hack in to your heart's content, deal with package conflicts within that environment when you come to them, and stay isolated away from the system.

Here's one way to do that step by step on Debian:

$ sudo apt-get python3-venv python3-pip
$ python3 -m venv ~/Desktop/hack-venv
$ alias hack-python='~/Desktop/hack-venv/bin/python'
$ alias hack-pip='~/Desktop/hack-venv/bin/pip'

I started out with something similar before evolving more sophisticated strategies that I need as a developer. You might also prefer to build from source, install with some prefix, and use it directly.

> Could e.g. python not have SYSPATH:OTHERPATH:VERSION-SPECIFIC-PATH:~/.PYENV: included in it,

That's exactly what virtual environments do. For example, on Linux, the SYSPATH:OTHERPATH part is `/usr` for the system Python, or the path to a virtual environment; the VERSION-SPECIFIC-PATH is `lib/python3.x/site-packages` (where `x` is replaced with the appropriate minor version).

The entire point of setting up a virtual environment is that you choose a separate SYSPATH:OTHERPATH part, (and it sets up the other sub-folders, depending on the Python version for that environment) so that you can have a separate folder where you put libraries specific to that environment.

> so we can install pip stuff in homedirs and not have to worry about smashing the system install?

You can install for the system install in a specific home directory, using the `--user` flag for Pip. (On newer systems that have opted into the new protection scheme, you also need `--break-system-packages` - it's named like that for a reason.) Python's startup process will add that folder to `sys.path` automatically when you run the system Python. This allows you to install those things without admin privileges (so you don't run arbitrary code as root from someone's `setup.py`)

But such packages can still "smash" the system install because of how absolute imports work - the package that you install could shadow a name of something that a system-installed library wants to `import`. That's why the new "externally-managed-environment" system exists (https://software.codidact.com/posts/291839).

If you want some other environment to use that same home directory (or another one of your choosing), you can add a `.pth` file to its `site-packages`. If you want every environment to use it, set the PYTHONPATH environment variable (and you can also use a command-line flag to disable considering PYTHONPATH). These techniques are fully documented starting from https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys_path_init.html ; you should also read the documentation for the `site` standard library module that runs by default at startup (https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html).
Yes, there is a distinction between product and staging and everything is put into modules, so there is some reusability. But still, there teams working in different accounts, and sometimes they exchange data between accounts, like putting an output into that bucket and reading input from another bucket.

We started out with just one terraform project per account. Now its a terraform project per project within an account, to keep terraform projects compact.

But it somehow keeps growing and growing and each team and each project, they handle it differently. the taste is differently, it seems. and not everyone puts a lot of thought into rhe structure. So on the one hand its wild and free, but on the other i palm my face, when i look into the future.

The construction industry really is a jobs program for rural surplus labor, they’ve optimized their construction techniques for that with the same 30 story blocks with slightly overbuilt concrete walls and floors. But they have surplus units and even in hot cities like Beijing or Shanghai you’ll find empty apartments that haven’t even been renovated yet. It’s not clear where this will end.

No more than the Clash's "I'm so bored with the USA" was bigoted.

It's a perfectly natural and reasonable reaction to have to the culture of a country that has repeatedly engaged in (and currently threatens) extreme territorial aggression against one's own country. Which is infinitely more serious than the cultural imperialism that the Clash were railing against, in any case.

Again, the reaction is to the culture (not the people); and it is not one of disgust but rather -- indifference.

That implies you're only charging a few dollars per transaction (where the $0.30 fixed cost per transaction with sticker pricing is 2-4% of the transaction). That's about $7.

It's great to want to charge only a small amount, but this is easily fixed by billing annually and allowing payments through lower-fee payment methods like ACH.

I was in your shoes when I started my business, charging $5/mo. I increased my prices to $10/mo and enabled annual billing (with a $10 discount) and saw MRR grow, both through added sales and increased retention (fewer payments means fewer opportunities for failed payments). And increased revenue on volume, since I pay less in fees.
