That's likely software for the receiver/router/CPE that customers use, since it's being distributed they have to satisfy license obligations for it.

Software actually running on satellites isn't being distributed, so there's no license obligations there (unless it's AGPL, ha!)
I know you kid, but theoretically running crowdstrike-susceptible windows on a spacecraft would work fine (at least I claim so), because you'd need a robust backdoor / OOB into it anywa (And I'm no windows fanboy, I hate them just as much as the next guy). Crowdstrike bug would cause an N-day loss of comms just like a thousand other things they plan for in a spacecraft.
I have kids and I wish they could have the old web, warts and all it was a much better place for learning and connecting than what we have now.
This is an abuse of statistics, because you're not considering the likelyhood that a random 15-time felon killed someone, but the likelyhood that a specific 15-time felon that was accused of killing a specific person actually did it.

If you were trying to pick a realistic scapegoat he would have been a great candidate.

> Yes however in Christian theology it's both forgiveness _and_ repentance (which requires a penance), thus it doesn't mean you are free of consequences just because you have been forgiven.

Indeed, but for this you need to let the person in question time to realise their errors and repent, which is impossible if you kill them.

> Additionally, loving your neighbour means calling on God's mercy which is willing the Good of the other (the definition of "what is good?" is answered differently in Christianity).

Calling on God’s mercy does not imply playing god ourselves and disposing of the lives of others.

> Finally, not everyone is your neighbour (Jesus also acknowledged his enemies in Luke 19:27).

It is not really relevant in this case, though. Murderers can be Christian as well and accept his “reign”. But yeah I take your point: the bible has a lot of inconsistencies.

They get them in bulk so they’re often not all that great in value.

What point are you trying to make by saying "send anyone who will bill me less than $200/hr my way"?

Literally zero people are stopping you from trading arbitrary sums of money to arbitrary people with zero experience and convincing them to wield a power tool at whatever problem you have with your property.

Yes, you need to find people willing to try. Yes, some of those people might see liability problems or find the entire arrangement sketchy and wonder what con you're trying to pull on them.

But I guarantee if you keep looking you'll find somebody with lower critical thinking skills who is game for whatever you suggest and could use $X/hr for whatever X is greater than minimum wage that you specify.

Depending on the state or country you live in and the task you want performed, it might be illegal for them to do the job without a license (plumbing comes to mind), but at least some of the job types you talked about do not strictly require licensing to perform publicly anywhere that I am aware of.

Mostly I guess I am trying to uncover what your unspoken expectations are about the unskilled labor you are after. Most people give a damn about what happens if they pay somebody to improve their property in some fashion and they ruin it instead. That's what insurance and bonding is for. Most people don't want to be on the hook for hundreds of thousands in medical bills if an uninsured worker injures themselves on your land.

Insurance, workman's comp, bonding, licensing, and trade school education all cost money that normally contributes to the $120-$200/hr rates you're talking about. These are also "only on the clock for the few hours some client needs something" rates for the person in question and not "guaranteed 40 hours a week working on an employer's schedule" rates, so should not be compared directly against the hourly rate of an office worker.
Yah that makes sense and after looking I could not find the API call that pre sorted each thread (it must not have been native algolia or firebase) - and without that the way you are doing it sure beats recursively reconstructing the thread.

The value of something is whatever someone else is willing to pay for it. It does not matter that something is not valuable to you - I can guarantee that if you priced the mission as low as $1m/$10m/$100m dollars, some PHD, wealthy person, or even SV software developer would personally pay for it - and there would be no regrets.

If NASA had to personally crowdfund these $5b missions, they'd probably still happen. That sum is also in the ballpark of Apple's marketing budget - I would not at all be surprised if they spent that much just to get their logo on the mission. Not to be outdone, Samsung pays next one.

But maybe you wanted to talk about the value-add to the society instead - which is easily going to dwarf $1m by many orders of magnitude just through advances in sciences, industry, and international cooperation that happen in the course of planning, building, executing, and pouring over results of such a mission. All of these things have a tendency to accrue interest, so the sooner, the better.

You could also take a state-centric view, and there also I guarantee you that the value of the image-lift and international cooperation is going to be worth more than a measly $1m to the US. A US president making a single international state visit costs multitudes of that.

Companies are held to the standard that their leadership communicates (which, by the way, is also a strong influencing factor in their valuation). People don't lob these complaints at Gemini, but the CEO of Google also isn't going on podcasts saying that he stares at an axe on the wall of his office all day musing about how the software he's building might end the world. So its a little understandable that OpenAI would be held to a slightly higher standard; its only commensurate with the valuation their leadership (singular, person) dictates.
If you took a deep breath and held it on the way up, maybe. Otherwise, probably not.

Following your train of thought, we can assume that even with skepticism, if the price is right, people will buy it, just as we purchase many other gadgets. While the market size may be smaller than that of mobile phones, it could still become appealing once people start seeing their neighbors and friends using it.

So the only difference between that and "spyware" is semantics, connotation, and trust.

Have you thought about consulting/agency.

E-commerce isn't free cash-flow. Don't kid yourself, you're starting a business with all that entails. You'll be niched in e-commerce and most probably short of cash for some time until you figure out "e-commerce", which is easier said than done.

A job, will niche you down, but will provide you with an income stream right way and you won't have to figure it out like starting a business.

With an agency/consulting, you'll have a couple of possibilities:

- Choose a sector/industry and go deeper solving problems for roles in that sector/industry. Vertical segmenting if you will. Say, if you choose banking, you'll try and solve problems for the different roles withing banking. You can also chunk down, like banks of a certain size, or a certain type of banks.

- Choose a role across different sectors. Horizontal segmenting, if you will. Say, you choose sales people or marketing people, and you'll solve problems for these folks across industries.

You can of course choose a hybrid approach to have a sort of "mutation", avoid inbreeding, and find criteria where your solution generalizes a bit, without falling into the trap of generalizing too much or you'll never ship with the never-ending abstraction quest.

You also will build a network of good people, which is both rewarding and useful when doing enterprise software. You'll get to become familiar with the problems of the people you're helping and give yourself a better chance for product-market fit.

I've written a bit about it here: https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/131066829330549965...
That doesn’t work at all anymore for many products for two reasons:

1. Astroturfing
2. Redditor incompetence.

As it turns out, Reddit doesn’t know shit about a lot of large purchases. Reddit thinks that pottery barn makes some of the best furniture and that I should buy from them, rather than negotiating and buying from a top furniture maker like Hancock and Moore.

I ended up with a furniture set which is at least 3X better for the same price by ignoring what idiot redditors told me to do.
I didn't misunderstand or misrepresent anything. Your argument, and The Innocence Project's, seems to be that a lack of physical evidence tying the accused to the crime scene constitutes reasonable doubt. I disagree, and so did the jury.

> When it comes to fundamental principles of criminal law like "reasonable doubt" your subjective opinion is irrelevant, what matters is what objectively creates reasonable doubt. The fundamental principle in criminal law is that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt - the presence of conflicting evidence, particularly in forensic data, inherently introduces reasonable doubt. Dismissing or distorting this principle undermines the legal safeguards designed to prevent wrongful convictions.

Where in criminal law does it say "if there's no clear forensic data then you can't convict someone?" You just made that up!

And the justice system is subjective. It's not a formally specified algorithm that decides guilt or innocence. It's a jury deciding a fuzzy boundary ("reasonable doubt").

I think there's a chance Williams didn't commit the murder, but it's awfully low, and I'd say unreasonable.
It's the same drama, spread out over time.

> we fundamentally changed how AI systems learn and reason through complex problems

I'm not an AI researcher, have they done this? The commentary I've seen on o1 is basically that they incorporated techniques that were already being used.

I'd also be curious to learn: what fundamental contributions to research has OpenAI made?

The ChatGPT that was released in 2022 was based on Google's research, and IMO the internal Google chatbot from 2021 was better than the first ChatGPT.

I know they employ a lot of AI scientists who have previously published milestone work, and I've read at least one OpenAI paper. But I'm genuinely unaware of what fundamental breakthroughs they've made as a company.

I'm willing to believe they've done important work, and I'm seriously asking for pointers to some of it. What I know of them is mainly that they've been first to market with existing tech, possibly training on more data.
would you say that using wasm2mpy is better suited for my needs than having a wasm runtime like the one of bytecodealliance? What would be the advantage in this case?

> That may be the best case scenario for getting out of the timeshare agreement, bring it up before the court and getting a judgement against the timeshare company.

Suing someone requires money for lawyers. You can be out a significant chunk of a megabuck before you can land a solid judgement against someone. And I guarantee these scammers are experts at navigating the system.

It they won't let you out normally, you need to stop paying, let them foreclose and take the credit hit. You have to expect it to hit your credit, but often it doesn't because the timeshare companies don't want to attract the attention. Once you have signalled that you are willing to take the hit and you are not going to feed them any more money, most of them would rather not spend money foreclosing and would rather just move on to the next sucker.
well its gonna have to exist and do damage before we can regulate it. c'est la capitalisme

Operator algebra refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_(mathematics).

An operator can be something like the differentation operator (d/dx), the integral operator, gradient, curl, or other structure. Operators are similar to functions but work more generally, like mapping functions to other functions.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory#Canonical... for some of the applications/definitions in quantum mechanics.

IIUC, Operator algebra is the study of the properties of operators just like real, complex, matrix, and linear algebra are the study of the properties of those objects/constructs. As such, once you have defined an operator for e.g. Schroedinger's wave equation you can manipulate and explore that using the rules and principles of operator algebra. Thus, making them easier to work with.

Being usefully vague about when the south sea bubble will deliver is one of the key methods of making people invest in the south sea bubble.
They get to it if you scroll! I came to the comments with the exact same concern, but they eventually spell out the value-add in (IMO) very clear terms:

First, we turned everything into data - a rich system of digital twins that enable safe, easy simluation of changes, and map 1:1 to the upstream resource.

Second, we made it all programmable and reactive by modeling it on top of a hypergraph of functions. When one property on a model changes, anything dependent on that property automatically re-calculates.

Third, we built a multiplayer user interface that makes working with the model fast, safe, and fun.

Seems cool, though I'm far from needing it. AFAIU: it's an attempt to build a reactive infrastructure system from the ground up using a cute Functional Programming paradigm, not just building off of code-like YAML files like we do today.

Personally the GUI gives me flashbacks to the dark days where "programming" in my mind was "using Eclipse", but that's a biased take! I can see why WYSIWYG-style functionality was considered too fundamental to make optional.

I remember the early/mid 70's when I was a little kid and department stores with multiple floors, elevators and escalators and Santa. They were nice. But buying something at the time was en event (at least for my family) too. A small microwave was hundreds of dollars (in 1970s dollars). A TV was a giant purchase.

It seemed to start changing in the 80s when the "Mallrats" style malls came to prominence followed by the big box stores in late 80's/90's.
Big Tech Investments and the Evolution of AR: A Glimpse into Our Future
While I agree with Matt's thoughts on Wordpress I don't like this sort of public shaming. If you post this kind of thing, it burns bridges that you can't mend later. How can the two organizations reconciliate after this?

Wordpress wants WP Engine to contribute to the source code because it makes money off Wordpress and uses its servers. I think this is very reasonable.

I'm pretty sure WP Engine could patch Wordpress to use its own infrastructure, so this isn't a really as much of a security risk as people claim. Distros have been doing this since forever. This isn't much different from a Youtuber getting banned from Youtube. If you build your entire business upon a single point of failure, this kind of thing can happen.

But I'd rather there was a path forward for them. Right now it's either 1) Matt gets fired as CEO so WP Engine can continue leeching off Wordpress, or 2) WP Engine has to support its own weight fragmenting the Wordpress ecosystem.

Although I use Wordpress I have no idea what people think Wordpress is supposed to be. I love Gutenberg, but everyone hates it, and some hate it because they compare it to site builders instead of WYSIWYG HTML editors. The point is that Wordpress is used by so many websites, both big and small, as a site builder, blogging platform, news platform, and even as a database and shopping platform sometimes, that it's impossible to say how it's supposed to be used.

I think if Wordpress.org makes it clear what are the costs of WP Engine to the project compared to their contributions, it will be easier for people who use Wordpress to understand their side because numbers are neutral.
As I came up with this idea of scheduling described above, I bounced it off my friend Daniel Gustafsson who immediately replied “this reminds me a bit of Jefferson’s method” (of allocating seats in parliaments).

Sounds like the author of this would be interested in Queueing Theory[1] (in the sense of being interested in mathematical formalisms to explore this stuff). Apportionment[2] is also studied as a very specific thing unto itself.

There's a huge mass of published research "out there" dealing with queueing and scheduling. Not all of it pertains to "thread scheduling" but there's quite a bit of conceptual overlap between something like thread scheduling and job floor scheduling. And some of the stuff on apportionment likewise probably relates at least by analogy.
