If you really need it pointed out, take it from a German neighbor: Telekom is running some extortion scheme or so here. Oh we could have gotten fiber to our house already ... if we paid them 800+ Euro! So we rather stick with our 100MBits or so connection that is not fiber but copper. If the German state does not intervene here, or the practices of ISPs and whoever has the power to build fiber changes, we will for the foreseeable future still be on copper.

Then there are villages, which were promised fiber connections, but somehow after switching to the fiber connection made them have unstable Internet and ofter no Internet. Saw some documentary about that, could be fixed by now.

Putting fiber into the ground also requires a whole lot of effort opening up roads and replacing what's there. Those costs they try to push to the consumers with their 800+ Euro extortion scheme.

But to be honest, I am also OK with my current connection. All I worry about is it being stable, no package loss, and no ping spikes. A consistently good connection stability is more important than throughout. Sadly, I cannot buy any of those guarantees from any ISP.

Having played with the GB sized Whisper models, I'm amazed to learn the 80MB version is actually useful for anything.

I was aiming for an agent-like experience, and found the accuracy drop below what I'd consider useful levels even above the 1GB mark.

Fearmongering? Ralph Nader was writing about how unsafe motor vehicles were in 1965
To me it sounded like click bait. So I checked comments and concluded that it was indeed about the very visible RDS signal and not some hidden channel used by some secretive agency that would indeed be somewhat mysterious.

I don't think the fact that it worked in generating clicks is really an argument for bait titles. Given the positive comments about the content I think some editorializing could have been helpful to focus on the hacking journey aspect though, which seems to be the point rather the specifics of RDS itself.
Another (albeit optimistic) possibility: today we have an informal oral culture contrasted with a formal literary culture, so Graham perceives the latter as synonymous with thinking. However, before literacy was widespread there was, on top of the informal oral culture, also a formal oral culture, so maybe with the popularity of short video clips we might see a resurgence in structured speech?
True - the point I am trying to underscore is that the concept of 0 is not the same as counting down and arriving at „nothing“. These are two related, but not equal, concepts.
Crossing the USA by Train
The whole internet is running mostly on OSS so not really
Years ago I tried to build a certification / service team out of independent software vendors and open source systems - ie you could buy 1 years of support for Apache httpd from any certified vendor (ie they knew enough about httpd)

It’s hard but I still think that’s the way to support OSS
The headline is pretty misleading.

From the article: "Tesla sold almost 17,000 Cybertrucks in the third quarter"

and I believe the total sales volume for last quarter was 400k EVs in the US and about 3.5mio worldwide.

That means Cybertruck sales were like 2-3% of total sales in the US and <0.5% worldwide.
Totally agree. But I guess most audio software expect you to map those rotary potentiometers to actual midi controller with infinite rotary encoder and the UI serves as a way to see the status.

Having said that you can totally map a physical rotary encoder to a linear one in the software so this is not a good excuse.
I know that it exists. I was just hoping we can make such interactions (practically) bug-free before we move on to the next big thing.
> The expectation in SF is that population will increase and the housing supply will not be allowed to increase, so occupants will have to pay more in the future, creating the expectation of future appreciation.

See, I don't understand this.

So I grant you that rents will increase in SF. That's what you are describing. (Conversely, current rents are lower than rents in five years; and there's no market mechanism to bring that rent increase from 2030 to 2025.)

But I don't get the proposed mechanism to turn that relative discount of 2025-compared-to-2030 rents into a relative discount of 2025-compared-to-2030 house prices.

There's a clear mechanism in the markets to bring assets prices from the future to the present, but there's no clean mechanism to bring rent increases from the future to the present.

That's because you can buy a house now, and hold it for the next five years. But you can't turn a 2025 month of rental services into a 2030 month of rental services.

> The expectation in Ohio is that the population will be approximately flat and new construction will be less inhibited, so expected housing price appreciation there might be less than competing investments. That discourages external investors, but the current-day prices are still held at their current level from demand by local residents because they still need somewhere to live.

That argument seems very confused to me.

So is the return to funds invested in housing in Ohio higher or lower than in San Francisco? (That includes both capital appreciation and rental income (or the 'opportunity profits' [0] of not having to pay rent)).

You seem to be mixing up (imputed) rental income and the cost of houses as a capital good.

Local residents are responsible for the rent in either place. Both of us agree that we expects rents to grow quicker in San Francisco than in Ohio.

> Investors could then come in and bid up the current price in anticipation of this, but they'll only do this until the current price rises to match the risk-adjusted returns from competing investments.

> That discourages external investors, but the current-day prices are still held at their current level from demand by local residents because they still need somewhere to live.

Contrasting these two sentences, looks exactly backwards from what we are trying to explain? You need to explain why current house prices in San Francisco are so _low_, and Ohio house prices are so _high_, both compared to their expected 2030 levels.

[0] I'm not sure if 'opportunity profits' is an established term. I mean the opposite of 'opportunity costs': the imputed implicit profit of avoided costs.

We're also on the edge of the read, and read-nots. There is an abundance of content to consume and AI lets us consume it in any format easily.

Why read a book when we can have an idea distilled in a quick infographic, a shortform video, or a pithy tweet? I love a deep dive book that lets you immerse yourself in idea and study it from multiple angles, done masterfully in Dune or Thinking, Fast and Slow.

But are we losing that chance to really contemplate given the speed at which more information is being thrown at us across every form factor?

> what sells in enterprise is marketing and a good sales team, not "effectiveness"

I work for a SaaS company. Our marketing and product teams work hard to convince potential customers that our software fulfills their needs at a reasonable cost.

When we buy services and software we don't look at any of the marketing materials, there are very trough analysis of costs/benefits being made, dollars and even cents are counted. Every cost that can be cut while we can still deliver something to our customers will be cut.

> In truth the license doesn't matter. My accounting software might be open or closed. My supplier doesn't sell me based on the license. They sell me by convincing me that everything just works, and when it doesn't they'll be there to fix it.

The license matters indirectly: if it's open source, you know that as a fall-back other suppliers might be able to step up and take over, if your original guys fail or get too insufferable.
nobody talked about eating less meat. I love meat as well. if you feed your livestock better, you get better quality meat!

I was shocked how cheap meat is in the US. I was at Costco looking at some briskets and pork belly.

Here in Switzerland for good quality meat you're going to pay between 30-50 CHF/kg for pork and up to 120 CHF/kg for beef.

Webstorm is free but only for noncommercial use.

On a side note, if you code in JS/TS and you are a full-stack or backend dev, use PhpStorm instead. It is essentially Webstorm (+ PHP) + all the database tools. Those tools are one of the big reasons I bought their software with my own money.
The analogy is not perfect, but there aren’t myriads of parties, there’s basically only Google, plus a handful of others of greatly decreasing importance.

If it was a reputation problem where, say, end clients with web browsers would each have a separate and uniquely derived negative opinion about domain names, this would indeed be a “bad reputation” problem and not a Google problem, since the problem could not be fixed at the Google side. But with domain reputation being so centralized, the problem is at the center.
This sounds like hocus pocus to me. I presume the "headset" band is some kind of EEG given that it's "non-invasive", and if so EEG signals are very crude, far too crude to map to anything like language beyond, perhaps, "I'm sad" or "I'm excited". They also only measure brain activity at the surface of the brain, and have no information whatsoever on anything below the first centimetre or so, if that. EEG headsets that aren't a full skullcap with sensors that have some kind of conductive gel applied to each one and a tangle of wires coming off the back are pretty much entirely useless, particularly when they're claiming signals as granular as language. Not only that, the "or" in the phrase "sensors embedded in a wristband or headband capture input from your brain" suggest that they think a wristband alone is enough to "capture input from your brain", which is an outrageous claim. Just because they hook this up to an LLM that churns out language doesn't mean much - we all know that LLMs are far too happy to generate language for its own sake. Unless they show a great deal more detail about how this is supposed to work this should be regarded as AI-induced magical thinking, and they're making wildly irresponsible claims that could generate a lot of false hope.

I think the OP framing is about the enterprise / government framing, so Adobe maybe isn't the best example.

Still, the licence doesn't matter - while probably being a bit of an overstatement - is somewhat true. If my enterprise relies on an Adobe service, it's primarily about my relationship with them, not the product license.

... But of course, product price and therefore revenue will decline if competitors can sell my product too or customers can download and use it for free.

And I wouldn't agree Linux desktop is unsuccessful. It's actually growing quite a bit in the last few years. And of course ChromeOS is also Linux based and capable of running Linux software. Likewise, MS bundles Linux with Windows and it is widely used by developers using Windows that way.

But even without that Linux Market share is now 4.5%. Quite a few gamers are discovering Linux works pretty well lately. With ChromeOS included it's closer to 6-7%. Linux on the Desktop is bigger than ChromeOS. I'd say it is getting better.

Those statistics are a half-truth at best.

The "coverage" they are reporting is not by area but by population. So all the villages and fields that the train or autobahn goes by won't have 5G, because they are in the other 10% because of their very low population density.

And the reporting comes out of the mobile phone operators' reports and simulations (they don't have to do actual measurements). Since their license depends on meeting a coverage goal, massive over-reporting is rampant. The biggest provider (Deutsche Telekom) is also partially state-owned, so the regulators don't look as closely...

Edit: accidentially posted this in the wrong comment: Then there is the problem of "5G reception" vs. "5G reception with usable bandwidth". A lot of overbooking goes on, many cells don't have sufficient capacity allocated, so there are reports of 4G actually being faster in many places.

And also, yes, you can get 5G in a lot of actually populated areas. But you certainly will pay through the nose for that, usually you get a low-GB amount of traffic included, so maybe a tenth of the Microsoft monorepo in question. The rest is pay-10Eur-per-GB or something.

'Remember his big publicity stunt of declining his name to appear on the Watchmen movie credits? Yet he had no issue taking the payday from DC that started it all'

Because back then Comics book industry was not the same, he sold his story and rights to DC and the contract specified that if DC stopped selling the book after a period of time, the rights would revert back to him. Alas, he wrote Watchmen, it's never been out of print he has not been allowed to reclaim his own work.

A lot of his complaining about Movie/Comic book companies comes from the perspectivie of a creator who has lost control of his creations, and is doing what he can to protest that.

I’m talking about hearing from actual people running their own e-mail infrastructure, or who are at least working closely with some local party to run it for them.

First of all, sodium chloride is now deprived of all its trace minerals and nutrients. "Table salt" is pure, translucent and uniformly white, which indicates it has been refined, all the nutrients and minerals removed: they are sold to supplement companies at a premium, because of how valuable they are!

We end up with comparatively worthless Table Salt. (Luke 14:34-35) Therefore, it is rightly vilified, because adding it back during cooking or serving is now pointless.

Also, high sodium levels correlate quite well with ultra-processed food and shelf-stable food. Since it's a preservative, sodium chloride (along with sodium benzoate, MSG, et. al.) is disproportionately added to frozen foods, prepared meals, and in food service, at takeout and restaurants.

Therefore, it's not sodium itself which is the villain here, but sodium content is a proxy and accurate predicter of really awful nutrition, so indeed, it's a good idea to avoid it in the first place.

Even smart people completely over-rate “AI” it seems
That writing is the only way to do deep, clear, thinking simply isn't true.

Stephen Hawking is the first example that comes to mind.

He developed a remarkable ability to perform complex calculations and visualize intricate mathematical concepts entirely in his mind. He once mentioned that his ALS diagnosis, which limited his physical abilities, led him to focus intensely on theoretical physics, as it required more intellectual than physical effort.

But sure, writing (and drawing) is a great tool to aid in deep thinking. So are AI tools.
Well with new AI based tools we would be seeing much more of these than before. The "curation/filtering/approval" process will be getting much more stringent and expensive I assume. So publish now and revise later, before the "attack of the clones" in the stores begin...
I'm not a fan of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. People extend the language to fit their needs, not other way around.
