> car thefts

To be specific, I don't think the cities are suing over the car thefts. If I understand correctly, they're suing because the availability of easily hacked Kia cars enabled a wave of other crimes, because the criminals knew they had easy access to a getaway vehicle that couldn't be traced back to them.
I have never, in the entire history of my usage of desktop systems, wanted my system to spool out a print job on behalf of a non-current user. Nor have I wanted my system to continue servicing my print queue after I log out. To the contrary: it’s incredibly annoying when the queue glitches out and then my print jobs show up in the printer tray after I’ve left.

On multi-user systems (accessed simultaneously by multiple interactive accounts), sure, I’ve once worked in a lab where multiplexing a printer would make sense. Make this a non-default option, please. And have a printer multiplexing daemon, not an entire shared monstrosity like CUPS.

On terminal-server style systems, the print system should be per user, because the printers are per user. I don’t want to print to a printer wherever the terminal server lives — I want to print to the printer near me.

I once ran an actual print server for a couple years. It did accounting, correctly, by wiring CUPS to a little program I wrote that actually spoke PJL correctly. CUPS, of course, can’t actually do this.

This is incorrect. Links to EULA are not enough, it must be separate and distinct from any other terms. Words like "BUY" are also expressly forbidden.

Quoted from the link in parent comment ( https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB2426/id/2966792 )

- (1) It shall be unlawful for a person to advertise or offer for sale a digital good with the terms “buy,” “purchase,” or any other term which a reasonable person would understand to confer an unrestricted ownership interest

(B) The affirmative acknowledgment from the purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be distinct and separate from any other terms and conditions of the transaction that the purchaser acknowledges or agrees to.
> They are all scams, because they all lock you into a single-vendor maintenance contract that can charge you anything they want, that you can never get out of.

This is simply factually incorrect. While I myself would never own a timeshare because it just would never make sense for me, some timeshare contracts are for limited lengths (e.g. 20 years) and maintenance fees are capped.
Why on Earth do ordinary systems need CUPS binding to a port at all?
> The product itself is solid and solves a genuine problem.

I don't mean to sound harsh, I'm trying to help but... Perhaps you should revist this? Perhaps you don't solve a genuine problem? Or the market doesn't perceive the problem as being as important as you think it is. Or the problem you think you solve isn't the problem the market thinks you solve. Have you communicated with users you have landed? What do they say?

That aside, marketing is *at least* 10x harder than the technology. Getting people's attention - because nobody cares -is hard. Getting people to realize they have a problem is harder. Keeping their attention and convincing them you have the solution harder still. And finally getting them to open their wallets and hand you their money is often close to impossible.

Finally, I recommend reading the classic "Positioning" by Reis and Trout. And be sure you speak to user in terms of benefits (not features).

Other than that, without knowing the product and the market it's difficut to offer you anything concrete, sorry.

Gambling is poison to both the individual and the sport. Gambling addiction is absolutely devastating. Gambling has the highest rate of suicide of any addiction [1]. Being able to gamble on your phone is way too accessible. Gambling of any sort is an awful industry but at least a physical casino has a higher barrier to entry than pulling your phone out.

Here's something else you may not know: if you win too much on these sports betting sites, you can get banned [2].

Now, you might be tempted to say "casinos ban card counters in Blackjack", which is true. But sports betting is more like poker where the house takes a cut of any action, so by winning you're taking money from other players, not the house.

So why do sportsbooks ban you for winning? Because it means other people lose and to create addiction you can't always lose. You have to sometimes win.

For me, this absolutely destroys any argument that it is a "game of skill" (which matters for the legislation that legalized it).

Kyle is a great guy. Just to correct the timeline a little bit, I only created Fontsource after its predecessor, Typefaces (which was made by Kyle), was left abandoned when Gatsby took off.

I wouldn’t say he made Typefaces specifically for the Gatsby ecosystem, but he definitely had the hacker mindset for creating frontend tooling for a while.
Yes courts make decisions based off hypothetical human behaviour and not documented evidence.
The constant pushing of sports gambling by leagues and broadcasters is well on the way to ruining sports themselves, so it might ban itself when there's nothing left to bet on.
> Is it because sports betting gives you quick feedback as oppose to lotteries making you wait or maybe the ease it is to drop your whole bank account as a bet?

I suspect it's because unlike the lotto and games of chance, people can delude themselves into thinking they "know" the sport. It's not a gambling if they know better. It's also easy to externalize the blame for your loses "they would have won if not for <bad call, bad play, bad management, injury, weather, etc... Or combination thereof>"

You can dip your toe in betting on the obvious mismatched, where it's pretty clear who will win. This is priced into the bookmaking, so the payout is little, but this helps people convince themselves they do know the sport and chase longer odds with better payouts.

And then you get sunk cost fallacy, as they lose, they convince themselves they can win it back because they learned from before and their system will work this time.

>> With the lottery, it's so boring and there's such a time lag between action and response that intuitively it seems like it would be harder to get addicted

> Addictions don't reason.

That argument was specifically based on how gambling feels and not reasoning.

That sucks, but ease of addiction is a spectrum.

You're not describing a zero sum interaction because the gain in China has almost certainly outstripped the loss in the US. That's pretty much the story of globalization so far.

Of course, it's a net loss for the rust belt.
Are you kidding? Everything is outsourced because wages are high in the US. I can't believe I have to spell out such basic and obvious economic facts to presumably intelligent people.

>What the US lost was not advantage of labor cost, but the economy of scale.

We've lost a lot of things but the reason things are expensive here is NOT that we didn't have economies of scale. That issue came much later. You get to have scale in the first place by being economically competitive. When things are outsourced due to some other country using slave labor or else their workers surviving on a tenth of what you make in the US, that is when you lose economies of scale.

Literally the only way we could compete in an open market with countries that have cheap labor is to use automation. But even with automation, those machines can be set up anywhere in the world, and they will tend to go wherever it is cheapest to run them.

You're naive.

What part of housing is priced such that 30% is the defacto baseline for most people, don't you understand? Individuals don't set the prices, the market does. And fyi home sellers and landlords love the phrase "what the market will bear".

Sure, if you have two six figure incomes in your household you can come in at 25% or 20%, but everyone else... 30% would be a God send.

Where and when did I suggest people just spend less? Again, I repeat, that 30% is a number used by people who... Wait for it... Make more money from higher prices. It's not the families setting that bar.

My query is what evidence are you basing this belief upon? I'm prepared to be convinced by evidence. It seems like for so many people to have a strong opinion that he is a serial liar that there should be many cite-able sources where

A) It is undeniable that Sam Altman said that.

B) It is clear that this is false.

and C) this has happened repeatedly.

Too much of this seems to be relying on "Sources familiar with .... claim .... ".

I'm really not trying to advocate for Altman or OpenAI here, I just would like the claims against them to be robust.

I wasn't talking about a change in costs. Costs have been high in the US for a very long time. What matters in terms of industry is that the rest of the world is coming online and their products are much cheaper than ours, mostly due to cheap labor and the currency exchange rates. Cost increases of domestically sprouted goods in terms of dollars are overwhelmingly driven by inflation.

> Valve has updated the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The updates affect your legal rights, including how disputes and claims between you and Valve are resolved. Among other things, the new dispute resolution provisions in Section 10 require that all disputes and claims proceed in court and not in arbitration. Please review carefully.

They put this bit front and center and it seems like a pretty big statement given that arbitration is so ubiquitous in these policies. Of course, I’m not an attorney so I’m curious to hear more informed opinions.
True. I’ll modify it with strong motivations to get attention or influence others. The groups that want to be influential the most write the most. From there, it will depend on who spent the most time on the Internet, what was discoverable by search, and bias of recently-popular communities.

That broadens the topics a lot.

Since I'm a n00b, does this just mean Llama 3.2 3B instruct was "tuned more softly" than Gemma 2 instruct? That is, could one expect to be able to further fine-tune it to more closely follow instructions?

Conspiracy Theories, Folklore, and Belief
Playing tennis is a vice?
We’ve spent years conditioning an entire generation of kids on quick hits of dopamine from mobile phone apps. I personally believe that it’s a “glitch in the matrix” for a large enough segment of the population to cause societal chaos.

As a libertarian however, I break with the opinion of making consensual activities illegal even if they are self-harming. So I guess my stance is probably the same as addictive drugs. They could be legal, but come with the same labeling, warnings, ID requirements and age restrictions that come with a pack of cigarettes. We should probably be educating kids about the dangers of addictive apps like we once did with DARE on the dangers of drugs.

Sports gambling was prohibited in most US states during most of US history. It didn't "work" in the sense that it did not completely prevent sports gambling, but neither did it cause any major problems AFAICT.

> However, publishing somebody's private information that can easily lead to deadly attack on him or his family is in entirely different class of speech.

Got it, encouraging people to execute gay and trans people is completely fine, and is clearly nowhere near as bad as publishing information sent by a person running for vice president. I get your point, on the one hand the people saying "LGBT/black/hispanic people are not actually people and don't have the right to exist" are only causing harm to people who aren't really people. On the other hand you have the emails and information about a major public figure running for political office with secret service protection who is running on a platform of "brown people are illegal and killing your pets, and lgbt people should be illegal" while encouraging bomb threats against minorities.

> The owner of the social media platform has to draw the line,

His entire justification for not restricting attacks on minorities is free speech, he actively promotes false information about political groups he does not like, while actively censoring things like this that are, again, a dossier about a public figure running for a major office.

So his line is "anything, no matter how wretched, gross, false, or fraudulent, as long as it doesn't attack my political friends".

Stop pretending these are equivalent.

> > when the political viewpoint on one side is that the other side has no right to exist
> Yes, I know, you only have to be bad because your opponents are so much worse.

The idea that a leaked "dossier" about a public figure is somehow "bad" is so fucking bullshit.

The fact that you consider this equivalent to promoting violence against minorities tells me everything I need to know about your world view. The fact that you think leaking a dossier about a political candidate is "bad" tells me that your opinion is free speech ends once it hurts political figures, which means I don't give a shit about your position.

Imagine if your brand new refrigerator, by default, would leak toxic refrigerant into your kitchen unless you adjusted a valve just so.
This fact is not called out prominently in the manual, but if you read the fine print in the manufacturer's assembly instructions and have a working knowledge of how a refrigerator operates, you can maybe infer that this valve must be adjusted after purchase to prevent leakage.
You go on their support forum to try to figure out why your brand new refrigerator is emitting toxic refrigerant, and you're essentially called an idiot and told you don't have "basic refrigerator hygiene."

People don't want to become refrigerator mechanics. They want cold food.
