I would feel much better about this process if they were uploaded and if it were framed as a knowledge preservation project. This would only slightly increase the cost of the project, but have a huge impact on its perception and its net positive impact.

Of course, actually benefiting humanity is only a minor, indirect concern for investors.

“Only 5%”

We still have 2billion+ people offline. Looking at global population is the wrong reference frame for selling a $100/mo service.

The default framing often over personifies ai, but this framing over alienates the model. It’s good to think with both framings, but both feel like imperfect metaphors.

The healthy range of frequency is roughly 3/day-0.3/day.

Probably 5+ years. Institutions learn slowly, especially top down institutions like militaries and governments.

The Ukraine war is 4+ years old, and they are still making significant improvements on their tactics. This is with support and advice from experienced militaries like US and France.

The worse Q2 looks the bigger improvement a bogus Q3 will look.

> presumably with them all writing code?

Not always. In fact, I use multiple agents when writing my technical design docs and giving feedback to design reviews.

The amount of time I spend writing a design doc and the amount of details I can include in the paper is greatly improved.

Ask it questions about your code base, such as if all of your data base indexes are being utilized or if you can remove them.

Ask it questions about logs, like how many api calls are made to a serve every day.

Ask it questions about your environment, like how robust your downstream is.

Status updates aren’t a big deal when running cheap&fast models, but are a big deal once you start making asks that take 5min+.

Furthermore, using the phrase “common sense” to describe an idea inherently dismisses any individual that will argue against it. They either are too dumb to have common sense, or too much of an elite to have common sense.

I’m genuinely confused about exactly what Microsoft was doing for the first time.

Not the first gui.

Not the first web browser.

Not the first spreadsheet/word processor/slideshow.

Edit: I’ll give credit, NT is good kernel, and had some novel qualities.

It’s simple. Oil is traded in USD. A large share of the oil is produced in the Middle East. If oil stopped trading in USD the value of our currency would plummet. So we have a strong interest in all oil exporters.

All of this talk about entering a hot war with China is crazy because of this fact. You don’t go directly from literally zero battles to starting a war with one of the strongest armies.

Is it 2019 again?

I think “The Operating System is fundamentally Unstable” is a much bigger problem than “First party applications are redesigned too frequently.”

When did the offshoring happen, because Microsoft has been bad for a long time. Even in the 90s there were so many BSODs.

The design and intent are bad, but let’s not discount the large amount of bad engineering too.

No, it’s just another designer drug and not a particularly new one. If you want a productivity drug there are more effective, more studied alternatives. If you want a party drug then you should probably take whatever is at the party. I think half of this article is selling fomo to people that haven’t been to ‘those parties’

It’s even more irritating when you’re laid off during record profits

I have a lot of chatting applications that all demonstrated that to me. The most common way was having another party indicate the app as a communication option

Is there anyone there I want to talk to? You need to demonstrate that before I create a login, otherwise there is too much friction for me.

The iOS storefront is also far behind your website in quality and attention to detail.

Edit: please accept this in the spirit of some quick feedback from one maker to another

You’re way off about when it’s illegal to start destroying your property that the police want to seize during an investigation.

The social contract changes when you change location. It’s unreasonable to be accepted as a guest in country and not expect to have to modify your behavior to accommodate local norms.

KDE has a much older and richer history than windows 7. It’s been trying to be a safe harbor for Windows users to land in Linux for a long time.

It’s a more acute observation about market dynamics than what is usually found in Marx. Marx heavily discusses how humanity interacts with capitalism, and focuses its market analysis on the labor market.

Once a product becomes so big it cannot increase in market share the only way to increase the total amount of profit it generates it by reducing the cost to produce the product or increasing the price.

Sometimes it is a cause vs causation. Sometimes the scientist didn’t adjust for a variable that clearly would impact both fields they were measuring. To make such a claim, I think it’s appropriate to name that hypothetical third variable. Otherwise the comment is so general it applies to all statistical studies.

I think that’s a difference in implementation details, not a difference in what it fundamentally is.

I’m not arguing that there aren’t differences between the two, I’m arguing that they are fundamentally the same solution (gather all of the software in one location with) to same problem (how can I safely download some software).

I don’t understand how they aren’t both generalized to “distributes software with versioning at a large scale”

Debian stable has over 69,000 packages, which is more then some languages have…

It’s foolish to feel safe because your package management solution hasn’t been attacked yet.

The attack vector is generalized.
