The company was trying to rent-seek by profiting off access to markets and infrastructure supported by the public without paying their fair share of it, and achieve unfair competitive advantage against equivalent companies by violating EU regulations.

>The EU suffers economically when it falls behind technologically.

Is moving faster better? Certainly to generate wealth for a subset of the population but rarely for the general public.

This view that the US is doing better because a small group of rich people are increasing their share of the wealth while most of the country is at best treading water or worse seeing their economic power decrease, where the average person in the EU is actually better off is myopic at best and malicious at worse.
is it a regulatory issue?
25x80 is ok. i'm getting 37x62 in portrait, 6x128 in landscape, both with the keyboard open. typing symbols is the main handicap imo, overall unusable.
I feel like a lot of doctors and nurses wouldn’t be doctors or nurses without the decent profit they earn.

I certainly wouldn’t work evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays, not to mention sacrifice my life during my 20s. And be around gross stuff and sad people.

And especially not when you can earn a comparable profit working behind keyboard.
It may be worth adding that most not all cloud providers will open port 25 account wide after opening a ticket and agreeing to not send UCE, SPAM, abusive emails, etc... Some providers will also grandfather in access to those that had port 25 open prior to locking it down. Some higher end providers may require that one subscribes to using their email relaying service.
It’s not really MMR but I have a side business when I provide software for online and in-person festival payments (entry/food/drinks). If you take the total revenue (or profit) for the year and divide by 12 I’m well over the $500/mo limit.

I currently do 3 festivals a year which all pretty much fell in my lap, I’ve yet to start any sort of sales/marketing due to being busy with my day job/life and not wanting to grow too fast.

I started back in 2021 when a local company I’ve worked with to make apps came to me looking for a solution for their food/music festival that didn’t require handing out and (almost as importantly) counting all the tickets/tokens that people bought to spend at the vendors. I did a quick turn around of a couple months to get a v1 out and working in time for the event. In the next year I essentially rewrote 90% of it and added in-person payment support (previously had just supported recording in-person payments made through a CC terminal.

Each new festival has new needs but I’m starting to get fewer feature requests and less I need to build for each new client which is nice.
Do you have any recommendations/recipes for vegan Polish dishes (i.e. dishes that happen to be vegan)?
Camera Ignores Perspective and Sees Behind Walls
We adopted Amazon's 6-pager strategy for meetings. It has been incredible helpful. TLDR - one person writes a document explaining the proposed feature, max length 6 pages. That one person does 80% of the work (whatever your org wants e.g. timeline, target customers, planned KPIs and/or ROI).

Process: Start the meeting, turn on your camera (surprisingly important for us), and set a timer. Everyone quietly reads for ~20min. AFTER they finish reading, restart and engage via comments - positive/agreement comments are great, questions are useful, answering/responding to other's questions is encouraged. Post 20min, one speaker goes through the comments. Many (70% is common for us) will already have been resolved or will not require discussion. Long comment chains or lack of consensus on a comment chain is where we spend the discussion time. Common pitfall - Speaker DOES NOT present the document, that just wastes 20min and bores everyone to death. Small nuance - speaker (doc preparer) is already familiar with doc, so they watch the timer. They also check in e.g. at 15 give a 5min warning, at 20min check if anyone needs more time, etc.

Huge net positive for us:
- No more "pre-read" (no one does it), we just say that a 45min meeting is when you BOTH get the information AND discuss is
- Post the "20min" we are already 80% on the same page
- Far far fewer "basic" questions that kill time - those were answered by the doc
- Quiet reading gives people time to mentally switch/shift from their last 5 meetings and come up to speed. Less "anxious energy" when talking
- Increase collaboration - "Type A" talkers cannot (as easily) dominate the comments. Leaves "airshare" for quieter team members to participate via comments. We've begun encouraging all to leave at least 4-5 comments

Negatives:
- REQUIRES senior team member support, else 1 senior "ass" will break the rules and start talking
- Writing the document is time consuming and not easy. This really becomes one persons "work" to gather the data from all stakeholders in a 1-1 fashion, organize it, summarize it

That is beyond a full time job, and if your cup isn't full today, staying aligned with the product requirements and architectural implications, you need to let go and focus on that.
Yeah, I went a little tangential. I think I’m just triggered by the knee-jerk “it’s AI related so it must be bad / useless / fraudulent” vibe we see too often.

ChatGPT is a great product; it is better now than it was 18, 12, or 6 months ago. Sure, they will seek revenue and profitability, but so what?

There seems to be such a rush to dismiss AI. I don’t get it.
Nice! Hopefully Meta and Google are doing something similar or will soon.
Curious if the affected party had a plan for this situation at beforehand.

I have stopped relying on instances being secure and map out a just-in-case strategy (that I also regularly oversee or exercise) to quickly reset/restore and get back on track.
Umm, what does social media reveal?
I haven't researched how all these came to exist but I assume it is the typical conservative talking point about the free market being more efficient so why wouldn't we want this. It will save us all money. And no, I don't believe any of that BS.
> This isn't the first time we've seen a tech rollout struggle with overwhelming demand.

This happens to every game on launch day. We figured out how to spin up servers automatically based on demand and down again, yet every game launch comes with queues, disconnections and frustration until player levels become stable. Even when they know how many players there will be since they pre-sold the game already.

But I guess in the case of AI tools like this there's a bottleneck in how much specialized hardware they can use.

Intermediate languages - write an interpreter, a JIT, or a compiler for the tree calculus. Then write a high-level language that reduces to tree calculus.
You don't deserve to be down voted for your comment, because what you wrote is true. Depending on what kind of product you're selling online, you can expect about half of Europeans to pay by card and half by bank wire, if given both options.

Removing the ability to pay by card, I'd estimate the business would lose a substantial share of clients, maybe in the range of 25%.
Yeah that stuck out for me too. Europe consists of a huge number of different countries.

And what the GP was saying is not at all my experience in my country, which is also in Europe.

Broad statements about Europe as a whole are often going to be very inaccurate for many of the countries in Europe.
And yet, OP referred to a thread where the reality of the shorts were being questioned by "average" people. Imagine a world where OpenAI were the first out the gates with this and just started producing their own videos without telling anyone about their technology or letting creators play with it. They'd make loads of money, probably could topple governments... I'm glad these tools are being made generally available versus the alternative.
Oh wow, that's a name I haven't heard since I used to frequent the OSDev forums. I had no idea it was still in development. I recall using Pure64 (BareMetal OS's bootloader) to load my own hobby kernel for a while, in between using GRUB2, and writing my own bootloader.
The good ones do.

Art students don't like it though.
It's equivalent to binary machine code for a procesor with 5 opcodes.

That may feel acceptable, but I hope those people remember it when someone controversial they admire meets a similar fate, greeted by applause from the other side.

Once we start tacitly approving of extrajudicial killings, it doesn’t stop with just those you dislike or even just the outspoken figures. Consider how many completely innocent civilians died during the Troubles or the French Revolution, or how easy it would’ve been for someone completely innocent to get harmed here.

It’s easy to approve of this in a vacuum, it’s just a path full of extreme cognitive dissonance.
> I found that losing touch with the code is disastrous - one cannot make sensible decisions without a familiarity.

This. Your decisions become less and less grounded in reality the farther you get from the code base. It is the same as in the military: generals always fight the last war, usually with disastrous results, like attempting to charge machine gun nests in WW1, because they are too far removed from the reality on the ground.

> But debanking happens, or has happened, to _almost_ everybody who has some assets and cash, probably from the higher middle class until the ~1%

Can you back up this claim? The wealthier you are the less chance you're going to be debanked. Marc Andressen and all the crypto bros will never have an issue with debanking. Banks are rolling out the red carpet for him and everyone else with his net worth.

What they (1%) want is to own the bank and own (and create) the currency without ever having to be an actual bank. They invest in crypto to make a massive profit, and it's foolish to play along with these things as some sort of benefit to society. Together these guys could end world hunger and still have more money than they would ever need, but no, they've decided VBucks are a pressing issue.
Now we need GMO resistance to this bacterium and the shitstorm will be complete!
> But if your body expended more calories than you absorbed, the net effect is a loss of mass.

Yes, I agree with this. This is called Net Metabolisable Energy[1] and is something mentioned in the book.

I think I said it badly, because I still think calories matter. Just that it matters more what kind of food you're eating rather than just reading the food label.

You’d think by now we’d have the whole “scale up and handle demand” thing figured out, but nope—queues, crashes, and chaos every time
>the soda itself was largely replaced with black coffee.

As unreliable as Internet medical advice always is, am I to interpret that you're drinking coffee at all hours of the day? Sleep disturbances can lead to all sorts of new problems. Coffee has much more caffeine than soda or any common tea. Switch to something else after noon and see if it doesn't help.
Would it be easy for funding given to the Internet Archive to be transferred to a separate project (under its own legal umbrella)?

Second, I don't know much about charities or whatever legal form the IA and co fall under, but I do recall they need to have a board of representatives; is it legal for the same people to be on that board for multiple related charities? I can imagine adding more leadership to different charities becomes challenging.
If you’re not actively publishing at top conferences (I.e. NeurIPS), than this is a trash question and shows the lack of knowledge that many who are now entering the field will have.

Anything that you or others can answer to this which isn’t some stupid “gotcha” puzzle shit (lol it’s video cus LLMs aren’t video models amiright?) will be wrong because of things like structured decoding and the fact that ultra high temperature works with better samplers like min_p.

The “easy” solution is to try and remove profit as much as possible from the equation. Pretty much every other high GDP country in the world has single payer healthcare.

You did a lot to help I can tell after going through this myself. Be kind to yourself. They denied my mom’s chemo drugs it’s absurd. She paid into the system for decades without incident.
Pretty sure. Tastes vary, but you're arguing that runaway commercial success is a prerequisite for artistic success?

Not to mention that those superstars need to come from somewhere. If a career in music is basically like spending all your money on lottery tickets, society ends up poorer: many hard-working young musicians are going to see it for the exploitation machine that it is, and go sell advertising instead.

> Emotional control really is the the skill. When I was diagnosed with ADHD I learned that emotional disregulation was a part of it.

I agree. I think emotional control and social navigation are sort of, but not entirely related. My ADHD inspired emotional disregulation meant people often found me difficult to be around, the emotional swings made them uncomfortable.

I became happier and more successful when I started learning to be less toxic, to control my emotions, or at least not make it other peoples problem.
What's weird is the projection you get when you challenge someone's opinion in any way. All of a sudden, you're the arrogant one who thinks they're always right, no matter how diplomatic (or undeniably correct) about the issue you are. Or is that just me?
Although, if the evidence is damning and you don't want it found, keeping it on your person is not the worst idea. That way you know the only way they find any evidence is if they find you.

Even if you try to destroy the evidence, evidence of you destroying the evidence works just as well for a lot of cases.

That's entirely up to the artists though, and plenty choose to publish their work rights-free. However, they can't earn a living off of free or charity-paid-for music. While I'm sure there's a way to make money off of rights-free music (I mean you can still publish your albums, get on Spotify, do concerts etc), it's going to be similar to open source software - you can't compete with free.
Well really this language just takes the next logical step by removing all but a single symbol.

ceteris is rarely paribus: JSON-based APIs have to make a choice between being general purpose, in which case a web app written against them may end up chatty with multiple requests per page, or they end up application specific, in which case they can be churney and a bad general purpose API.

I wrote an essay about this here:

https://htmx.org/essays/splitting-your-apis/

Also, producing JSON often involves reflection and can be more CPU intensive than straight templating (w/ fixed properly lookups) depending on your technology. Finally, the size delta between JSON and hypermedia is lower than most people think, particularly with compression:

https://github.com/1cg/html-json-size-comparison

in most real world systems i expect data store access to be the dominant latency issue

some people have had good success w/htmx from a performance perspective (2x+ speed, 1/2 memory consumption):

https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/

but of course it depends on your use case.

I think htmx would be excellent for an e-commerce site, which is mostly text and images and relatively simple, coarse-grained user interactions.

Yes, these are all things I know.

You bring up apples and other orchard fruits. Yes, in production you want things like uniformity and yield. But from a long term survival standpoint, you want some diversity, such as through preservation of heritage varieties or allowing some seeds to grow and selecting from them. Otherwise, you end up with a very short list of possible options when faced with new diseases. You need some genetic pool to select resistant rootstock from. It also prevents things like genetic and epigenetic adaptations to the environment (see progressive cold hardening). Of course the economics of it discourages farmers from selecting currently inferior varieties for crops. But perhaps a biosecurity program could fill that gap.
Never go HMO, PPO is worth the extra $ when you want to choose hospitals and specialists.
I really hope the networking improvements might lead to decent NFS speeds. Currently for us NFS is pretty much unusable with FreeBSD 13. We were specifically testing EFS but it seemed like NFS was the core issue.

On 2 identical boxes on EC2, FreeBSD13 and Ubuntu LTS, we benchmarked EFS and the Linux box trounced the FreeBSD one. I cannot remember if it was 100x or 1000x faster but it was a huge difference, the difference between usable and unworkable for our needs.

On a related/side note I’d be incredibly grateful to FreeBSD-friendly solutions for shared network file storage. Something like NFS. If I could get working POSIX locks I’d be over the moon but I could handle that in another layer if needed. I’m looking for the ability to share ~5TB of data between a pool of servers.
A low-overhead environment like this must be perfect for HPC applications, i.e., when you want to use a computer in its primary function (to perform calculations, as fast as possible).
> So my idea is, why don't bands produce a dozen or so "radio edits" of their better songs? I bet they'd increase sales, especially to people like me.

They do though; more and more I'm seeing artists publish alternative edits, remasters, live versions, demos, songs-that-didn't-make-it, basically more of their back catalog onto streaming platforms. These "rare" tracks aren't going to sell albums so the investment to publish a new album won't be worth it, but uploading more stuff to streaming platforms is relatively cheap and easy in comparison. It's long tail stuff, but streaming platforms earn big on long tail.

Well in this case the bacterium is (accounting for mutations which might happen) more or less the same, not some antibiotic-resistant "super-bug". But I guess most phage research has gone into phages that attack bacteria which cause disease in humans, not in trees, so some further research would be needed? And such research seems to be indeed going on: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3911242/ "We report the isolation and characterization of the first virulent phages for X. fastidiosa, siphophages Sano and Salvo and podophages Prado and Paz, with a host range that includes Xanthomonas spp."
That's besides the point. The handful of big pop stars tilt the scale so massively that the interests of whomever is financially representing them will always guide the direction of the music industry as a whole.
