The target market is the personality of buyer who wants to do self service. Someone who finds houses on Zillow and just gets a realtor at the end.

Realtors are paid on commission which means that they want to transact high and immediately. Poor alignment with intent for buyers.

We have an offer drafting service on our website where all you need to provide is your email, phone, property, and price and we can go from there.
Thanks! That's right, it's pure Python. It's certainly a lot slower than C or Rust, but I've not done any benchmarking to get a good sense. I believe Deno have a Rust implementation which they use, so in principle a Python binding could make use of that. I think V8's own C++ implementation is too integrated with V8 itself to be re-usable, at least without refactoring.

My immediate use case is very IO-bound, and won't use huge message sizes, so decoding/encoding performance probably isn't a huge problem. My hunch is It should be fast enough for event handling small messages, or it'd also be fine for passing binary buffers between Python and JS. (E.g using an array library like numpy and shipping an array over as a buffer, with some other JS objects for extra metadata.) (More so if I implemented reading/writing an mmap.)
Probably more convoluted protocols, because there are always things that you do accept and that can be used to negotiate protocol extensions.

Imagine a protocol where both sides have to speak JSON with a rigidly-defined structure, and none of the sides is allowed to ask whether the other supports any extension. Such a protocol looks impossible to extend, but that is not the case, you can indicate that you speak a "relaxed" version of that protocol by e.g. following your first left brace by a predefined, large number of whitespace characters. If you see a client doing this, you know they won't drop the connection if you include a supported_extensions field, and you're still able to speak the rigid version to strict clients.
I realize this is a bit of a "no true Scotsman" but what you are talking about is a gross misuse of Bayesianism- where your own biases are incorrectly treated as extremely strong evidence.

I am partial to using unform priors over all possibilities, and then just adding in the actual evidence for which you can actually quantify its quality/strength. Your "prior" for a new situation is constructed by applying the data you already had previously to a uniform prior- not by fabricating it from whole cloth via your biases. In practice this may be impossible for humans to do in their heads, but computers certainly can!

This is a weird Easter Egg that's been compiled into real, genuine, uncracked Winamp release builds for a very long time.

The actual compiled binary ends up with the same text you see linked there scrambled using XOR (you can see that on the other side of the #if 0) to avoid it appearing in the binary's strings verbatim.

It's unfortunately hard to find stuff from the Old Internet anymore (I recall this being discussed at length on the original Winamp forums), but there are some references to it here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/366648-winamp-51/page/2/#...

There's a screenshot of the exact text from the source here:

Well, it's at least slightly more open than e.g. Microsoft's source-available repositories, let alone leaked proprietary source; as you do have the freedom to e.g. read the Winamp source code and then ground-up reimplement a Winamp-alike program, without their lawyers coming after you. (Orgs like ReactOS don't let people contribute if they've ever read code from a Microsoft source-available repos, lest ideas inspired by that code end up in the ReactOS codebase, and Microsoft sue them for that.)

I'm not sure what to call a codebase that only grants you the (implicit) right to not be sued for reading the source and then getting inspired by it, though.

I get that wallpapers can be stunning examples of photography / art. Having used 2 or 3 screens for work I don't see the point - if I can see the wallpaper then I cannot see the work I am doing.

I'm using a macbook air right now and I have no idea at all what the wallpaper is. None. I never see it. Yes I can click to Desktop to see it, but why? I think my Windows wallpaper is a cliff/sea? Maybe not, never see it.

Maybe they are for 4k TV screensavers?

I do think part of the problem is not enough engineers asking their bosses why. Or not enough engineers thinking decisions through. I hope to god it's not a lack of engineers that are power users because that's even worse in many ways, but I wouldn't be surprised.
1) Whether or not these tools will become what their proponents claim that they will. I don't think things will be radically different in 3-5 years than they are now, but I don't really know.

2) I'm an entrepreneur and software dev. I am not considering this uncertainty at all, to be honest. Right now, I don't think these tools will have much of an impact on my plans -- but there's too much uncertainty to be able to predict what's going to be with any degree of confidence. Whatever I do is going to be a shot in the dark, so my current plan is to continue doing what I do and be ready to alter plans when things become a bit more clear.
This price drop is significant. For <128,000 tokens they're dropping from $3.50/million to $1.25/million, and output from $10.50/million to $2.50/million.

For comparison, GPT-4o is currently $5/million input and $15/million output and Claude 3.5 Sonnet is $3/million input and $15/million output.

Gemini 1.5 Pro was already the cheapest of the frontier models and now it's even cheaper.

The quotes are preserved, but backquote expansion fills the argument list using any whitespace as a delimiter.

$ for f in `ls`; do echo "$f"; done
foo
"bar
baz

If you absolutely must parse ls (let's assume it's some other script that outputs items with spaces) and the output can contain spaces, you have a few options:

$ ls | while read f; do echo "$f"; done
foo "bar baz

# parens keep the IFS change isolated to a subshell
$ (IFS="\n"; for f in `ls`; do echo "$f"; done)
foo "bar baz

But if your filenames contain newlines, you'll really want to stick with the glob expansion, or output custom delimiters and set IFS to that.

Agreed that it is a Microsoft term. But in my experience, it is older people who incorrectly judge Microsoft ruthlessness, not younger people. I am of an age where I remember well what Microsoft was like in those days, and it frankly was not as bad as people make it out to be. Nor was it really worse than the ruthless tech companies of today.
> Check the following graph from a 2019 Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco paper. The curve flattened a little in the 1980s and 1990s, and then basically flat-lined in the 2000s.

I am instinctively distrustful of this graph, with its three completely independent trend-lines formed by semi-arbitrary time periods. It reminds me of Simpson's Paradox [0] or some climate-denial stuff where carefully-placed splits allowed someone to express an overall upward trend as 5-6 locally flat trendlines. [1]

A quick search didn't yield anything useful for doing it myself, but I'd like to see the same plot except with atrend-path formed by a running average, without discontinuities.

Ben is a smart dude and I don't often find myself at odds with any of his findings.

But in this case I very strongly disagree with his conclusion regarding Palantir. He seems to suggest that Palantir is a possible significant player in the first wave of AI because they are embedding themselves in the enterprise and doing the legwork of integrating data to make it useful and that the resulting benefits will outweigh the enormous costs.

Here's the problem(s). First of all, enterprise data is extraordinarily complicated as it evolves over many years and has the fingerprints of the prevailing technologies of the day all over it. It is nearly impossible to rip and replace or integrate those systems in flight because there is too much at stake and each system is endlessly complicated. That's to say nothing of the processes themselves which tend to evolve alongside the technology and are often inefficient because of the reliance on the dated technology. So Palantir has two challenges- overhauling data and processes.

Second, if the solution is integration work, what is special about Palantir? They hire the best analysts? C'mon. If it's a matter of talent that will become democratized with enough cash. There are loads of SI's that do this today. Are they just bad at it? If there isn't something special about Palantir then they have no edge.

Most damning though is that if you can integrate the data you don't really need AI because there are all sorts of tools available that would work amazingly well with the proper data. The challenge is always integration and making use of disparate data. There are hundreds of thousands of people who's job is solely being the glue between systems. Robotics could solve this but they are very inflexible, expensive and limited in functionality. Put differently, in this scenario AI is not the secret sauce it's the integrated data.

There is always this impulse when something new comes along to assume the existing way is dumb and those who use it or conceived it were ill-informed and this new thing or team will fix it all very easily. But once you get into it you realize there are an infinite number of considerations that make it very difficult to make any meaningful change.

I think the idea of agents is a great one but making them useful consistently will be very difficult and the question becomes does the benefit outweigh the enormous cost of building and training them. I suspect that with this enormous AI buildout you will end up with a lot of unused capacity that is later repurposed for an unintended use that nobody predicted. That is largely how bubbles eventually play out.

> I am not saying that they were not exploited. But they went from being among the richest to being among the poorer not because of that but because Europe (and the US) progressed and industrialised while they didn't. It's not a loss of wealth, it's absence of growth.

This is where I disagree. Because it very much was a loss of wealth [0]. As for growth, would the East India Company or the British empire after it allow India to grow to a degree they could challenge them or gain independence? We know that they didn't, and we know they fought to suppress rebellions, pit local factions against each other, and hold on to power over the region for as long as possible.

> They would not have fared better in that respect without colonisation/aggression when you look at the political and social state of India and China at the time, and they would probably have stayed the way they were and not evolved.

Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to know the counterfactual. But what we do know is that they were not "modernized" by Britain out of the goodness of their heart. And it was not done in a way that had the well being of Indians as the primary concern, but that of Britain.

Gemini feels like an abusive relationship — every few months, they announce something exciting, and I’m hopeful that this time will be different, that they’ve finally changed for the better, but every time, I’m left regretting having spent any time with them.

Their docs are awful, they have multiple unusable SDK's and the API is flaky.

For example, I started bumping into "Recitation" errors - ie they issue a flat out refusal if your response resembles anything in the training data. There's a GitHub issue with hundreds of upvotes and they still haven't published formal guidance on preventing this. Good luck trying to use the 1M context window.

Everything is built the "Google" way. It's genuinely unusable unless you're a total masochist and want to completely lock yourself into the Google ecosystem.

The only thing they can compete on is price.
I wouldn't take Putin so seriously. He's like a little yapping dog. All bark and no bite. He knows the US and EU could wipe Russia out in an instant. He isn't even capable of taking Ukraine. He has no chance at the rest of the world. His own people don't want or care about his pathetic war effort. If you're in the US, climate change is a much larger threat to your future than WW III the threat of which Russia has been trying to scare people with since the moment they invaded Ukraine.

There are two distinct meanings of fork and you are conflating them I think. I suspect winamp's license is using the sense of the (pre GitHub) idea of creating a distinct version of a project maintained by a different group, and the GitHub ToS specifically refers to forking within the GitHub platform.
Sure. I replaced the building system with a big portal that each team controls. Instead of in-game buildings, I built a menu/UI system that allows the player to control which units would come out of the portal. Units don't take commands from the player (another massive simplification). They only seek out the enemy portal and will engage other units on that path automatically. Destruction of the portal is the win condition.

Unity's navmesh system is doing most of the heavy lifting right now. It's amazing how much functionality you can get out of it before you have to reach for physics and animation.

It probably works in specific conditions, but in general normal yearly crop rotation to replenish nutrients with things grown in correctly spaced rows and such is likely to work better and be more labor efficient.
