That's a fair concern! However, the idea is to create a balanced system where every product gets its moment to shine without being overshadowed by dozens of others launching on the same day. The first-come, first-serve queue ensures fairness, and since launches can be scheduled up to 30 days ahead, creators can plan their timing strategically. The goal is quality exposure over a rushed spotlight.

As someone who is also introverted and looking to start a business in the next few months, this is something I'm going to seriously consider.

When I'm on the consuming end of a service, I would always rather help my self than interact with a sales person or support team.
Learning how to co-exist with different sorts of people is definitely a valuable experience.

Trying to do that in an completely artificial institution that arbitrarily divides people into age cohorts in a way that resembles no organic social pattern and forces all social interaction to conform to bureaucratic rules is not just not a value experience, but in fact actively inhibits the above goal.

The kinds of social skills and expectations kids develop in a school environment often need to be unlearned entirely in order to function effectively in a complex and dynamic society.
This sounds like an apocryphal story. Kodak did actually make copiers in the 80s/90s, I know because my elementary school had one (early 90s, in a suburb of Rochester). It was one of the very large models that do duplex, stapling, ~100 copies per minute, etc. They just presumably weren’t good enough/cheap enough to get much market share vs. Xerox and Canon. I’m not aware of any of their copiers using film, not even sure how that would work.

The problem was that Kodak essentially was a film chemical production company pretending to be an imaging company. The switch to digital meant they could no longer get the fat recurring profits from selling film that they were used to. Kodak's value peaked at $31 billion in 1996 ($58 billion in 2025 dollars) while the total value of the digital camera industry today is around $8 billion (https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/digital-camera). Even if Kodak had pulled off a masterful pivot to digital and captured the entire market, it would have been disastrous for the company and led to it shedding most of its employees.

Based on that list, they have tended really only to do that on mobile platforms. It was one of my favorite things about the platform, but it always felt like this was partially thanks to the older hardware still getting games well into the new hardware's life in many cases. Major games, I believe Pokemon has done this a few times?

Most of their home consoles were complete departures from previous hardware.

NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube all did not work with prior games were fairly different (ok admittedly the outward difference between the NES and the SNES were minimal but still no compatability).

So honestly I think it was more notable that the Wii could play Gamecube games than the other way around as far as Nintendo's track record goes.
The post is about how they have a no-calls policy, even for enterprise sales. The author brags, "I nuked the 'book a call' button from my pricing page".

Wouldn't that be regulating PC manufacturers/retailers rather than Microsoft?

This is a great index of algorithms for drawing trees:

https://treevis.net/
Well, I like and use SBCL and ECL, but I was curious if I could make something as big on my own. I was also curious about implementing that GC algorithm that I found in literature; I'm pretty satisfied with the result, though I don't exclude providing an alternative more classic GC as an option in the future.
I chose C because I love its clean design, and the portability of C89 can't really be matched.

About multi-threading: I still haven't thought about it much, but I'm optimistic; according to the paper, the algorithm is quite amenable to concurrency, since each object carries local information (the two refcounts), so some collection doesn't need global state. I agree, but we'll have to wait to see it in action
I agree with this. This is why I still do the occasional 'discovery call' with people directly involved in a project -- and is very clearly communicated as not being a sales call.

There are two aspects you should consider: 1) Google's AI isn't as good. 2) people don't want an AI middleman for person-to-person communication.

People may dislike AI written code or AI "art", but using AI to talk to other people is just seen as dishonest. It's even worse when it's not all that good.

Kinda sounds like a "show me the man, I'll show you the crime" kinda policy. What specific rules are Microsoft breaking? Just at a high level I would expect less issues from Microsoft because they dont produce as much hardware and windows is more open by design.

>This is exactly the same argument that Russia has been using to annex territories such as Crimea

The rhetoric may be superficially similar, but facts on the ground aren't. The Russian state is not under an existential threat in the same way that Israel would be with Hezbollah in the north, and a similar entity in the West Bank and Gaza. Israel is a tiny nation with a tiny population. Russian and Israel's security issues are simply not comparable.

>talking about the West Bank doesn't justify anything to do with Gaza, which is geographically separate

They are linked, and highlight the core problem to Israel - namely - disengagement does not work with a hostile entity.

Israel in 2005 disengaged from Gaza. It wasn't a full disengagement as Israel still exerted control over the airspace and territorial water, but it also wasn't nothing and it was an olive-branch and a big opportunity. Instead it resulted in a Hamas electoral victory, and rocket attacks, and a circle of retaliatory actions from Israel and Hamas. Imagine a world, where post-disengagement there were no attacks from Gaza, no preparation for war and smuggling of weapons into Gaza by Hamas - by this point, where would we be? Would Israel still maintain the same kind of blockade? I just don't think so. I truly believe it would be a model for permanent peace and Palestinian statehood.

>And why the 1967 borders rather than the 1948 ones?

I mentioned 1967 borders, because as best as I can gather, that is the current Palestinian position. Although it isn't clear exactly what the Palestinian position is as Palestinians do tend to maintain some level of ambiguity on this point.

> If Israel's war is with Iran, why is that war not being carried out in Iran?

It goes the other way actually - Iran is at war with Israel. Iran is using proxies, Hamas, and Hezbollah to strike at Israel.
> Unknown websites will get very few crawls per day whereas popular sites millions.

we're hosting some pretty unknown very domain specific sites and are getting hammered by Claude and others who, compared to old-school search engine bots also get caught up in the weeds and request the same pages all over.

They also seem to not care about response time of the page they are fetching, because when they are caught in the weeds and hit some super bad performing edge-cases, they do not seem to throttle at all and continue to request at 30+ requests per second even when a page takes more than a second to be returned.

We can of course handle this and make them go away, but in the end, this behavior will only hurt them both because they will face more and more opposition by web masters and because they are wasting their resources.

For decades, our solution for search engine bots was basically an empty robots.txt and have the bots deal with our sites. Bots behaved reasonably and intelligently enough that this was a working strategy.

Now in light of the current AI bots which from an outsider observer's viewpoint look like they were cobbled together with the least effort possible, this strategy is no longer viable and we would have to resort to provide a meticulously crafted robots.txt to help each hacked-up AI bot individually to not get lost in the weeds.

Or, you know, we just blanket ban them.
Good point. I remembered the 3 clauses correctly but forgot the first sentence mentions "use" along with redistribution. IANAL but it seems common sense that "use is permitted" implies some sort of patent license. Seems tricky though -- do the people I redistribute my modified version to also get a license? Could I avoid needing a patent license for my unrelated project if I embed Concrete?

Concrete's lawyers must believe that BSD doesn't grant patent rights. The Concrete license.txt is straight BSD, but the Readme says it only applies in certain situations. So is it BSD licensed or not? If that statement about patents in the Readme is load-bearing then what's stopping me from forking the project and removing it?

1) If the queue grows significantly, the first-come, first-serve system will still ensure fairness. Makers can plan their launches strategically within a 30-day scheduling window, and I’ll monitor growth closely to adapt if needed.

2) At the moment, I’m testing a few theories to address this and ensure fair play on the platform. I can’t share specifics just yet since these are still in the experimental phase, but I’m keeping this top of mind as the platform evolves.

Appreciate your interest and feedback, thank you!

Musk declared in 2018 that climate change was the most significant threat humanity would face this century.

But then more recently, he's said that farming doesn't contribute. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1672793968587702272

He flies on his private jet all over the world, that alone contributing 100s of times more than the average household. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/elon-mus...

His social media platform is one of the largest spreaders of climate change misinformation.

He recently campaigned for and spent hundreds of millions to elect a guy who believes climate change is a hoax, which will likely delay any progress we could make by years. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-260-million-spendi...

His unelected, unofficial government department is targeting huge cuts to the EPA. https://www.eenews.net/articles/epa-in-elon-musks-crosshairs...

So maybe in the past he was concerned about climate change, but that appears to no longer be the case, or its further down on his list, below accumulating billions in wealth and amassing political power.

Exactly. Which is why kids need to practice their social skills in environments that actually reflect how real-world societies functions, rather than being sequestered in an institution with utterly distorted, artificial social structure.
Apollo 11 had a three stage rocket and every stage was discarded. SpaceX is obviously not the first company to land something - but landing a rocket booster that just performed an orbital lift is the interesting and extremely hard thing to do. The payload can be entirely designed to land - but the booster has many other constraints (payload weight and its desired velocity and trajectory being some of them).

To do what Apollo 11 did without discarding the boosters you also need orbital refueling and probably rapid turnaround (or a huge inventory of boosters), which SpaceX plans to develop next. Awesome stuff.
Microsoft's Windows monopoly in desktop computers is far less irelevant today, as desktop computing is less relevant compared to the past due to mobile, and also not a walled garden since you can install apps on Windows outside the Windows Store unlike on iPhone. The things Microsoft is being investigated for is the Monopoly on Office365 services such as bundling Teams by default.

Oh and your numbers are totally wrong. iPhone market share is over 80% on US teens making them a dangerous monopoly since teens tend to become grownups at some point.

- "Premium 2 TB" ($100/year)

- "AI Premium 2 TB" (free first month + $20/month, so $220–$240/year)

- "Premium 5 TB" ($250/year)

and only the last two come with Gemini Advanced.

> It had the revolutionary touch screen, yes,

I still remember seeing the demo of maps and the user being able to pan and zoom and was just floored. I really think the screen is what sold it then, even if it didn't have the apps, you could still browse the full internet on it which was a complete game changer.

IMO the screen + multi touch is what drove sales of the first iPhone.

> The queues have been mostly replaced with "take a number" systems where you can sit down and wait...

My recent experience was: sign up online and get a 30 min window (9:00-9:30 say). Queue everyone for that 30 minute window outside the building. At exactly 9:30, enter and go through the usual queues inside. The advantage is that getting through those queues now takes 30 minutes or less because their length is limited. Presumably we/they traded volume of processing for certainty of time spent in the queue. A very familiar tradeoff for a computer scientist.

The foundations for these concepts were laid by Piaget and Brissiaud, but most of their work is in french. In English, "Young children reinvent arithmetic" by Kamii is an excellent and practically oriented book based on Piaget's theories, that you may find useful. Although it is 250 pages.

This approach has become mainstream in maths teaching today, but unfortunately often misunderstood by teachers. The point of using different strategies to arrive at the same answer in arithmetics is NOT that children should memorize different strategies, but that they should be given as many tools as possible to increase the chance that they are able to play around with and compress the concept being learned.

The clearest expression of the concept of compression is maybe in this paper, I don't know if it helps or if it's too academic.

Anyone that relates GenAI's importance to that of the Internet must not have been around when the WWW actually launched.

"Internet" was not the killer app, email and instant messaging were. Email was free through your ISP and didn't require more than a $9.99/mo Earthlink connection. The alternative was Fax / Telex etc that had zero network effect outside of businesses and required a dedicated phone line and hardware.

LLM based GenAI on the other hand has been around for long enough that we know that it's main use case is limited to helping schoolkids cheat on their essays and polluting the Internet with factory-farmed social media "content".
