We already have uber and Lyft and taxis and our own cars and some other self driving things and bikes… and isn’t Apple supposedly coming out with a car sometime? This isn’t special and a lot of city dwellers aren’t interested in supporting musk anymore.

Productivity can be measured in many ways. Neoclassical economists will tell you there’s only one.

In this case, is the change of this software from one language to another/framework to another even valuable?

Example: if I manufacture $1,000 worth of some illegal drug that will potentially turn a normal functioning adult into an addicted criminal, how shall we measure my productivity?

Question: is the 7.4 patch sufficient (the one after 7.4.33 that we have to build from source?)

The difference is that the cost to give your kids what you had as a kid and the opportunities you later had access to has gone up. People don't want to raise kids if they can't give them a life at least as good as they had.

Yes, there's lots of things about today that are better than 30 years ago. TVs are bigger, cars are safer, etc. But the ability to give you kids the childhood and initial opportunities you had seems far less likely to many people.

Isn’t it the Junie AI tool? I hope not, but that seems like the most likely possibility.

Great idea! It’d be something like Common Business Oriented Language, or COBOL for short.

The human brain is neither computer nor automobile.

Extrapolating from a single anecdote seems like poor judgment.

Other humans brains work differently than yours. What didn’t work for you did work for them.

This article is important to me and I need some help understanding it correctly. Am I correct in my understanding that it is basically saying that getting a proper adhd/autism diagnosis is helpful for people? Or that people with complex trauma should or shouldn’t be diagnosed with adhd or autism? I’m sorry, this is a bit confusing to me.

Is there a safer alternative? It’s not like I can trust OpenAI since they’ve proven that they’ll steal research from mathematicians. X is run by a sociopath. Anthropic is going to IPO so who can say how long they’ll be trustworthy…

Only one has weaponized it against their critics. They are not the same.

Smaller entrants to the field cannot as easily comply with the law. It’s about raising barriers to entry. Trust in Meta might be low here, but to the general public, it’s higher than some small startup they’ve never heard of, so they won’t upload their ids there.

Survivor bias

I’m unconvinced that morality is a simple Boolean. He might have ethical standards that are different that others though.

Depends on the objective of Apple. It’s hard to imagine they’re after a quick payout. They may wish to keep this in the news cycle as long as possible. I could see them both harming open ai and sending a message to employees thinking of leaving that if they even consider breaking their confidentiality agreements, it will absolutely ruin their careers.

Good point. If these are the ethical standards they go by, who’s to say they’re abiding by any standards to keep my data private.

You get about 80-90% of the results for daily tasks like: getting summaries or explanations of complex material. Writing software tools for data analysis. Getting recipes for a given set of ingredients in the fridge.

The reason you never hear that is because waste and fraud are very low in reality. That’s why this made the news. It’s uncommon.

We should be using the government to help people and when we do, it often does a good job.

Examples: Roads, libraries, fire departments, schools, safety regulations…

The cloud services wrote the contract and the UI for their console. They then encourage young developers to try out their tools and encourage a market environment where those skills are needed to secure employment. Some kid goes and tries to build their first web app, they follow instructions and tutorials but miss that a single default selection on a menu three nested layers down is going to cost $2,000 per month. This isn’t disclosed on the page. Sure, it can be determined by reading several different documents, but the provider chose to not show estimates for costs in the setup.

How is that the kid’s fault?

Nuke the data. It’s gone forever if you didn’t back it up elsewhere. This should be a meaningful risk mitigation that I can employ to avoid having a catastrophic financial disaster.

This isn’t a limit I’m setting at some percentage above expected costs, it’s: “I don’t want to take out a HELOC if something goes wrong”

I would love to have a “if the bill for this hobby project becomes a threat to my ability to pay my mortgage, nuke it.” If I cared about the data enough. I’d have backed it up.

This is an issue that regulators need to address. Asking small businesses to forego the significant impact on their business of not implementing common features that users demand is not a good solution to public policy failures.

I don’t know what the exact revenue/growth difference is, but if my paycheque depended upon getting more users to sign up, I don’t think I could justify making it into a political stance when Google isn’t going to notice my tiny boycott.

That was such a great game!

As a parent, none of these are useful to me. Age is not a useful indicator of what’s appropriate for my kid. At best, this can avoid a small portion of some stuff they probably wouldn’t see anyway. The bad actors who I’m worried about actively try to circumvent any automated systems that block them. These age verification systems don’t help even if they worked as intended… or at least as advertised.

I am in awe of the confidence you have in your reflexes.

Electricity goes in and phones come out, duh.

This gets complicated when you need to start giving your kids some degree of independence. I would also argue this could be implemented in a more accessibility-oriented approach.

Also, not all 13-year-olds are of equal level of maturity/content appropriate material. I find it very annoying that I can’t just set limits like: no drug-referencing but idgaf about my kid hearing swear words.

On other machines: I do not want certain content to ever be displayed on my work machine. I’d like to have the ability to set that. Someone who has specific background may not want to see things like: children in danger. This could even be applied to their Netflix algorithm. The website: does the dog die, does a good job of categorizing these kinds of content.

So what happens if I spend 2 hours on a ticket, but submit it 10 minutes after someone else? Do you have people "reserve" tickets? What happens when someone just keeps high-value tickets "reserved" and prevents others from working on them? What if I submit a better solution? What if you find a bug in my solution but I'm not available to work on it for another week? Do I get 1/2, 3/4?

I've only ever used Git with Unity and as long as we're disciplined in our process, it's not a problem. It's free, scales to any size team for free, and lets us open source our projects easily.

I would be willing to consider Perforce, but it seems very expensive.

What is the industry standard means of open sourcing a Perforce repository?
