The history of radio/telegraph gives us an idea of what happens when everyone suddenly gets Broadcast/mass communication/1-All messaging capability. Which is what Social Media has given everyone.

There was similar chaos back then due to 'frequency overlap' and broadcast rights wars. There were no tech standards. Literally anyone (who could afford it) could build a transmitter and start Broadcasting. Unlicensed pirate radio and massive interference was the norm.

Very similar to what social media produces with massive noise and everyone screaming louder and louder or furiously repeating themselves to get noticed. It lead to the creation of the FCC, spectrum management and licensed broadcasters.

Then Claude Shannon showed up and gave us a framework to think about signal to noise. This again had a huge effect on how we manage Broadcast spectrum.

Today we don't have an FCC for social media and rather than a Shannon's theory we have an Attention Economy - or a Global Attention Allocation system which hides how social media breaks Shannon's Information theory. So we get info overload, polarization, echo chambers, attention being bought, sold, captured, stolen and squandered. And everyone is focused on who is capturing the most attention. Not on what history has already taught us.

People who are serious about doing something have to look at the history of Broadcasting. Don't work on stuff or with people who don't know the history.

I don't buy into this "Think of the children, regulate adults now" line of thinking for chatbots.

Good parenting solves these personality trait concerns without a foot in the door for mandatory suspension-of-disbelief busting watermarking in all ai output. Adults have the right to regard any human (or non-human) effort in any sphere at whatever level they want, for whatever reason. They don't need to be reminded of it every interaction forever more as punishment for voice actors losing jobs in 2023 and to lighten the load on parents.

I get that children can't distinguish personhood well and might grow up disrespectful of real humans if left to AI but the same argument applies if left watching youtube all day. There are new expectations on all of us to compete with new tech. We can manage without knee jerk nanny state style encroachments at every turn.

Germany was told to stop buying Russian gas financing the Russian war machine by the previous Trump administration. They were told to pledge 2% of their GDP for defense, contributing more to NATO. They didn't listen. This is what happened: Ukraine got invaded, the pipeline was blown up to ensure compliance, their defense spending reachd 2% this year, more two years too late in a worse economic climate. Next year, the next Trump administration is going to demand more, because 2% is already insufficient.

as a (currently) non-SWE I don't like tailwind either.

If this was based on Bulma or similar I would jump right into it.

I did a ctrl-f looking for 'export' - found nothing.

If webflow had explained earlier in their existence that export is easy and those don't count towards your limits I would of been using them - but it was too confusing pricing wise and it seemed to lock you into their ecosystem, so I avoided it.

tailwind - I've tried to like it, I can see why some people will like it, but to me it's bloat in many ways, give me bulma, skeleton, similar.

This project does look interesting though for many reasons.

Honestly, that's kind of irrelevant to my comment. My points were to 1) decry a kind of obnoxious schadenfreude and 2) posit that our society is likely to lead to unhappiness because of it's focus on individual choice and technology to make various things "easier."

I do respect Bhutan for trying to take a different path, and I suspect they erred by not excluding enough (e.g. allowing the cancer of social media).

Great response!

I forgot to mention that we struggled much more with cognate names that that were more linguistically distant than within ones that were closer. e.g. Matthew, Mattieu were likely to be within the same lexical set, but Matityahu may have been a bit to far for us.

It's interesting how some names tend to have more conserved features than others as they transit across larger distances in terms of language families. I worked later in genetics and was able to reapply many of the learning from names into gene sequences.

I used to test our own software with my given name. It's rather common, but our ruleset would produce some rather wild variations of it. We thought it was an error, but it turned out to be a completely valid name in Finnish!

Same, and I say this having been making 3D reconstructions of a whole street. One should not underestimate the power of current 3D modelling tools, and modularity. The latter allows you to divide and conquer a scene by creating a set of models that can be repeated, and making different materials as needed. This is the biggest gain traditional modelling has. Not only does this make the art asset creation faster, it makes a very optimized scene.

Purchasing Power is not enough to tip the scales.

The reason costs are low is because of scale and automation. Suzuki exports it's India manufactured cars and components across Asia and Africa which helps drive costs down drastically, and leadership make a strategic decision to pivot towards automation.

Maruti Suzuki has been heavily automated for almost 2 decades now, especially after the union killed a plant manager and burnt down the Manesar factory in 2012 [2]

Already in 2017 Maruti Suzuki had 2000 installed units for 10000 employees [0], but the US still had around 1300 installed units for 10000 employees in 2021 [1].

Also, salaries in Maruti Suzuki Manesar and Gurgaon (the flagship factories in suburbs of Delhi) are similar to Dacia's in Romania and the CoL in Delhi NCR is comparable to Eastern Europe in general, yet similar cars in Europe will cost around $10-15k.

Hm, you sound like you approached it from the theoretical ML side. My strategy was much less sophisticated: I implemented the Buchsbaum et al. paper you posted in another comment of yours.
The first time I had the plug pulled on a public API a product I worked on used sucked pretty bad. At this point its happened to me so many times that its just another line item of business risks thats an inevitability. I've never worked at a company that failed to recover as a result. Then again, I've never worked at a company whose entire business hinged on one single API.

The likelihood of things breaking or behaving in unexpected ways are data points I think about when assessing risk irrespective of whether an API is public or not. In some industries even the public APIs are more risky than using the unofficial Venmo API likely is.

>And once captchas are introduced it's over. I wouldn't be surprised if stuff like captchas would be implemented more into websites to stop scrapers for good.

lol, not really. Captcha solving services like DeathByCaptcha and AntiCaptcha cost like $1.90 per 1,000 successfully solved captchas. They have APIs and you can easily implement them into your existing code in a few lines.

tl;dr = captchas do nothing and they also do nothing to stop scrapers. its a non-issue.

> because you can't reliably use features until the last two major versions of a browser support those feature

Maybe a bit of a nitpick but this particular comparison is exactly the same with any other browser.

Sure, Safari is locked to iOS version, but iOS adoption rates are insanely fast, about as fast as browser updates. We are talking 90% current major version adoption within 5 months. Here's a source with some historical info: https://worldmetrics.org/ios-version-statistics/

So really, at worse you're looking at being one year behind to cover 95%+ marketshare in iOS.

The latest version of Safari runs on the two previous versions of macOS, so it's even less of a problem on macOS.

> So you could spend 6 months working on a project, release your product, then get inundated with bad reviews because it didn't work for half the population with iPhones.

That could happen to you if you don't test your software on popular platforms.

Let's not forget, Safari and Chrome have the exact same open source core with proprietary commercial applciation development model. Safari has about 1/4 of the user base as Chrome. But here we are expecting the open source community around Webkit to fix bugs just as fast as Chrome?

You could have fixed the indexDB bug yourself if you wanted to. I would say that what you are framing as "Apple lying" about capabilities can be more generously interpreted as "Apple has 1/4 of the community developer resources to find and squash bugs in Webkit compared to Chromium." Really, it's far less less considering that essentially every other browser besides Mozilla uses the Chromium engine. Microsoft is of course another huge company also contributing to Chromium, and once you put Google and Microsoft together Apple doesn't look like such a behemoth anymore. The only thing that makes Apple "bigger" is the fact that they sell a lot of high margin hardware. In reality, the software businesses at Google and Microsoft are far larger and more complex than Apple (e.g., Apple has no enterprise cloud computing business, and essentially no enterprise software business at all).

Of course evolution can explain how an amoeba turned into a human -- a series of steps, each driven by natural selection. Not all the steps are known yet, but there's no reason to think something else is needed. Complexity accumulates progressively.

The origin of life itself is a different matter. This is not well understood. There is a very large complexity gap to the smallest known organism and it's not at all clear how to bridge it. At best we can say we haven't ruled out various kinds of partial theories for how it might have happened.
Then obviously it should be an option for when you're traveling in places with a high risk of mugging.
I tried Orion (m1 MBP) recently. From about 3wks ago til a few days ago. I liked the UI. But there were a lot of pages that didn’t work correctly. I persevered for a while. But gave up a few days ago and went back to Brave.
Software will bridge the gap. There are simply too many competing platforms out there that are not Nvidia based. Most decent AI libraries and frameworks already need to support more than just Nvidia. There's a reason macs are popular with AI researchers: many of these platforms support Apple's chips already and they perform pretty well. Anything that doesn't support those chips, is a problem waiting to be fixed with plenty of people working on fixing that. If it can be fixed for Apple's chips, it can also be fixed for other people's chips.

And of course there is some serious amount of money sloshing around in this space. Things being hard doesn't mean it's impossible. And there's no shortage of extremely well funded companies working on this stuff. All your favorite trillion $ companies basically. And most of them have their own AI chips too. And probably some reservations about perpetually handing a lot of their cash to Nvidia.

If you want an example of a company that used to have a gigantic moat that is now dealing with a lot of competition, look at Intel. X86 used to be that moat. And that's looking pretty weak lately. One reason that AMD is in the news a lot lately is that they are growing at Intel's expense. Nvidia might be their next target.

How so? What accountability measures exist for the EPA that don't exist for the private sector?

I anticipate you saying voting, so I'll preemptively observe that voters can vote for the government to switch to a different private provider too. Voting doesn't lose any of its potency if the government uses contractors, although it runs into the same problem as always that the EPA is realistically never going to be high enough on the priority list to change an election's outcome.
I think you mean order of magnitude, which means 10x. Magnitude just means size. Chrome's market share is not an order of magnitude higher than Safari.

No that does not work either. You get an error like this:

As far as I can understand, they did this on purpose to dissuade users from installing packages globally to avoid conflicts with other Python environments.

Anyway, I'm not trying to argue about if that decision is right or not - I just wanted to use it as an example for my case that the JS ecosystem isn't alone and may even be far from the worst when it comes to this kind of issue.

Depends entirely on how much per-customer/seat you can charge. Retool is fairly expensive, but they've just recently started offering external user pricing. It's $7-10/user/mo and caps at $4250/mo at 500 users, at which point additional users are free. At 4,250 users you'd be paying $1/user/mo. They also have embedded/portal type solutions now, so your users won't know they're logging into Retool. I'm not sure if you could support a free-user tier without likely violating their TOS, though it does depend on what your SaaS offers. You can host public-facing no-login-required apps for free.

Downsides? The app overhead can be bulky. It's not something users are going to quickly open, look at some stats, and close imo. If your use-case is users logging-into the platform and likely keeping the dashboard/whatever open for hours or indefinitely? That's a better fit.

Their support team needs a lot of work. They generally are slow to respond and don't understand their own products or pricing. A lot of what should be simple questions end up taking multiple back and forth emails where you find yourself explaining the nature of your problem/question to the support person. It's extremely frustrating to the point I've thought about abandoning them over how incompetent support is. That said, the CEO is really responsive to direct emails...

I have an unpopular theory.

I think AI will bring more jobs.

Take this Reddit post for example. If 20 people can be replaced by 1 AI system and 1 manager, then it must mean one can create new TV stations a lot cheaper. So cheap in fact, that many entrepreneurs can look at the math and determine that there is room to create 50 new TV stations. Each TV station can hire 1 person to overlook the AI system.

Thus, 20 jobs lost and 50 new jobs created.

The problem is that in the intermediate time frame, there will be more pain as people get laid off due to AI automation, but haven't figured out how to use AI yet.
