I would bet it’s a bathtub curve for a lot of things. You make a chunk initially, then your cultural relevance / popularity wanes. Then roughly 20-30 years later you see a revival as all the younger generation that were fans of your work become old enough to both spend disposable income on more of it and have their nostalgia kick in. I there’s a number of older 80’s and early 90’s properties that are getting / have gotten renewed interest because the original fans are old enough to renew that interest. Think things like Cyberpunk (1980s TTRPG -> 2020s CRPG).

I wonder if you could have a system that captures that sort of thing. Something like 10 years exclusive + if you register the copyright you can get 10 more years of a standard royalty + limited right of refusal and another 10 years of just standard royalties. That way you could benefit from the nostalgia bump but also society can benefit from easier access to build on your IP.

It really depends on how expensive/easy it is to off board in your Costa Rican account. But the fees for getting it there should be minimal, if not a bit convoluted. Ultimately, the cheapest way is to buy an ETH L2 or Solana stable coin. I think you can exchange USD<>USDC on coinbase. Then you can transfer it wherever for a couple cents.

Humans can be said to create from a combination of life experiences, artistic influences, and pure imagination.

LLMs have no life experiences, are only familiar with the most mainstream literary works with the most mainstream internet discussions, and use a fancy RNG formula on the next most likely word as a not so great substitute for imagination.

Nah. I live in Boston. I strongly prefer public transit, but I'll take driving here over most other cities, any day of the week.

The _road layout_ is awful, but drivers are pretty cooperative on the whole. Certainly more than my years driving in DC, for instance.

Granted, you need to be commmital here: if you put on your turn signal, drivers will generally make space for you to get in - briefly - but you need to be quick to take advantage of the gap. I could see Waymo being too slow to the draw for this, based on what I've seen online.

As with any kind of statement released to the public I hold little stock in things that are not definite. What exactly does "fastest selling" mean? Is that an indicator of a wide and long tail or did it sell a bunch of copies in the first month and then very few later on? 1.3 million is a hard number - something they (I hope) can't lie about, as with the statement "almost made back its budget". Everything else to me is just spin and fluff.
> When the economy collapses and the government lacks gold backed dollars to do counter cyclical spending because there's not enough gold reserves it doesn't go well.

Probably shouldn't be using this logic when the dollar is no longer tied to gold or any other physical asset though. There's a world of difference between a dollar based on gold and a dollar based on confidence in the US government.

Tired of OpenAI account deletions and Gemini template hiccups? Frustrated with manually typing or copy-pasting prompts every time you switch between LLM clients? If you're like me and want a smoother way to manage your prompts, I built a tool that might be just what you need.

*The Problem:*

* OpenAI accounts can be deleted unexpectedly.

* Gemini templates sometimes fail to work.

* Re-typing or copy-pasting prompts across multiple clients is tedious.

*The Solution: DryPrompt*

DryPrompt lets you create reusable prompt templates with variable fields. You set up the framework once, and then simply fill in the variables to generate the full prompt.

*How It Works:*

1. *Go to:* dryprompt.go123.live

2. *Sign up:* It's free and allows you to sync your prompts across devices.

3. *Create a template:* Define your prompt structure and mark the parts you want to change with variables.

4. *Use it:* Copy the template, replace the variables with your specific content, and you've got your ready-to-use prompt!

*Example:*

Let's say you need to internationalize multiple code files. With DryPrompt, you can create a template that includes the file code as a variable. Each time, just copy the template, paste in the new file's code, and you'll instantly get the internationalization prompt. No more tedious copying and manual concatenation!

*Give it a try and make your LLM workflow more efficient:* dryprompt.go123.live
I like how you describe vo2 max as similar to an xp bar, because I've felt something similar. Zone 2 is what got me into running, because it made running not hurt and almost pleasurable.

It's much more sustainable than Zone 4 (supposedly anyone can maintain Zone 2 for hours) and brings with it a bunch of metabolic and health benefits. I found the book "80/20 Running" to have excellent running schedules for how to mix in a small but appropriate amount of fast Zone 4 running into a schedule that's predominantly Zone 2. It has a good mix of intervals, tempo runs and hill runs that build you up to run 5k, 10s, halfs and full marathons in beginner, intermediate and advanced pace goals.

The intent of the slow Zone 2 is to build the cardiovascular base that gives you better aerobic endurance without stressing your body out too much. Zone 4 is what makes you faster.

I grew up on Calvin and Hobbes and reread the comics every 5-10 years or so.

It is sad that Watterson no longer makes these comics, but I've scratched my itch by reading "Phoebe and her Unicorn". You can read it free online I think, but my daughter and I read the paperbacks. It's not quite the same (the unicorn is real), but shares a lot in common. I just thought I'd add this for any fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans on here.

Luckily smart people have resources and a mandate to study each of those questions at scale. You might be interested in the work that the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/) does on the economic side of labor conditions, and that the Census department’s American Community Survey (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs) does on the demographic and social side. Both of these groups study questions like those you asked in ways designed to be broadly comparable over time.

The Housing and Urban Development department calculates fair market rents at the county level to support their rent assistance programs (e.g. [0]), although that starts to get at part of the complexity: for your metric do you care about the economic cost or the amount families actually have to pay after assistance?

On the NGO side, groups like the NBER (https://www.nber.org/) disseminate more exotic socioeconomic studies, and there are others.

And of course you can find a mountain of data at data.gov, the federal portal for such things.

I think the harder part (and the part the policy community specializes in) is grappling with the nuances of those kinds of numbers. What do such high-level observations actually mean in something as complex as a continent-wide collection of 10^9 people, and how much human messiness polluted their measurement?

For CAC statistics purposes, if a database is used in a consumer product, then the customer of database-related products is the company that makes the consumer product, not the consumer themselves.

"Software developer" typically refers to an occupation (whether self-employed or working for a corporation), so products for developers would also be classified as B2B rather than B2C.

DuckDB is really having a moment

The ecosystem is very active, and they have recently opened up "community extensions" to bring your own functions, data types and connections. A barrier at the moment is that extensions are written in C++, though this limitation should be removed soon.

- DuckDB GSheets (https://duckdb-gsheets.com): Read/Write Google Sheets via DuckDB

That's not really engaging with the point because you're suggesting turning all of our tools into something grossly unreliable. Of course that's a radical shift from what anybody's used to and undermines every practice in the trade.

But your mistake is just reinforcing what I wrote, because its the same mistake that the "loud people" are make when they think about generative AI. They imagine it as being a wholesale replacement for how projects are implemented and even how they're built in the first place.

But the many experienced engineers looking at generative AI recognize it as one of many tools that they can turn to while building a project that fulfills their requirements. And like all their tools, it has capabilities, costs, and limitations that need to be considered. That its sometimes non-deterministic is not a new kind of cost or limitation. It's a challenging one, but not a novel one, and one just mindfully (or analytically) considers whether and how that non-determinism can be leveraged, minimized, etc. That is engineering, and it's what many of us have been doing with all sorts of tools for decades.
The grand vision is to erode the middle class entirely, have undocumented immigrants work in agriculture and automate the rest.

Who can afford a Waymo ride in that scenario is an open question, but perhaps the tech overlords dream of having a tiny "elite" and a robot army that subjugates the farm workers, in which case Waymo will no longer be required.

My bad high score list experience came when I was running rogue under a debugger.

> It's crazy how so many people don't get this basic economic fact and think public welfare in EU just rains from the sky for free. No, EU welfare state is not some magical hack nobody else thought of, it's just paid from the working class' wages and then redistributed to those in need.

So are public transit riders. And to a worse degree. What's your point?

We should magically spawn mass transit systems overnight and force everyone to ride them?

By the way, I'm a fan of mass transit, and live somewhere in the US - specifically - where that's a viable option.

It just isn't a viable option in ~80% of the US, and even if those areas start doing everything right to be mass transit viable (no indication of that), it still takes decades.

Rome wasn't built in a day.
The first one is talking about the quantum realm. So, absent of measurement or some kind of collapsing of the wave function, pure quantum states are 100% reversible. So the question is, where does the transition happen from the quantum world to the world we know. Whence Einstein's question about "when I stop looking at the moon does it disappear". So far, nobody knows. So far, we haven't observed any limits to how big a pure quantum system can get, and there's no "spontaneous" collapse if we don't measure something.

So the question is, could a pure quantum state model a meteor crashing into Earth? It doesn't seem like it. Friction, heat, and so on cannot be reversed classically. The question of Schrodinger's Cat even becomes moot because in an isolated system, the processes a body requires to sustain life (such as friction and heat) can't be modeled in the first place, so the cat will turn into a sloppy goop before anyone pulls the trigger. So, what's going on? Why does quantum mechanics seem to model everything that happens in the microscopic world, but in the macroscopic world we see things that it can't? Where does that crossover between microscopic and macroscopic occur? If measurement is what causes quantum wave collapse, then would none of this happen if nobody was there to measure it? And what created the measurers? 99 years since Schrodinger's equation, and we're not particularly any closer.

Black holes also seem to violate reversibility. They absorb information, but the radiation they give off is random. So, it's impossible to perform the process in reverse. This is spooky in a different way than the above because it's purely mathematical. For "regular" micro/macro quantum/classical paradoxes, we're generally talking about the classical realm of experiments. But for black holes, it's pure math, of our two fundamental theories of nature, and showing that they don't line up. Though, it's perhaps less spooky because the obvious answer is that one or both of the theories is slightly wrong, so we just need to fix it. The measurement problem, or understanding waveform collapse, I think is the more interesting problem, but that's just me.
>Making something on a small budget often means smaller returns as well.

Yeah but you also don't loose the farm if it fails, which let's be real, is the more likely statistical outcome than success , unless you were surrounded by Yes Men who told you how much gamers are gonna love Concord lol and you were dumb enough to believe it because you're a bean counter and not a gamer.

What hurts more, loosing a million dollars of a hundred million?

Game Studios need to learn to be more scrappy and do more small scope projects on tighter Budgets instead of betting the farm on one hit game.
It's possible for people to like you without you liking them back. It's not the most likely explanation, but it's a plausible one.
Because its a claim. A claim is not less valid if you don't claim it. That kind of defeats the purpose of a claim. You contributed to society and you have a right to something in return.

This argument assumes there is a fixed amount of wealth in the world and you're taking some share that would otherwise go to someone else.

> Many good ideas have been destroyed by too-rigid applications

This is an interesting perspective that I disagree with. You seem to be saying that a general misunderstanding or misapplication of a good idea degrades the idea to a point that "destroys" it.

On the contrary, I believe there is experience to be gained in practice: either the initial idea wasn't good after all, in which case we're destroying an illusion; or the poor examples serve to refine the idea by clarifying some ambiguity that, interpreted wrongly, leads to failure.

Perhaps your argument is that many people may become familiar with the bad implementations and the idea's popularity will decline, depressing demand for refined implementations. This is likely true, but reflects the tragedy of the anticommons, not a degradation in the idea itself.
