How is covering obscure edge case scenarios overengineering?

I think his experience in the crypto space is part of the reason why he is against it.

Same on my side; I was constantly working and studying with 2-3 hours sleep max for years.

Life was harder. Then again nothing breaks my brain like the cry of my daughter so probably not one to one.

Cursor still has the advantage UX wise. The biggest reason I avoid using them though is their pricing structure being abysmal.

I can't randomly throw credits into a pit and say "oh 2000$ spent this month whatever". For larger businesses I suspect it is even worse.

If they had a 200$ subscription with proper unlimited usage (within some limits obviously) I would have jumped up and down though.

At the very least understanding of the specific domain comes to mind.

We have this idea that gatekeeping in all its forms is bad; and like all absolutes it is not true.

"GPL or pay" could very well be an option as well.

Small nit pick: this only works if the perpetually licensed product does not have running costs for you.

> That brings us to what training actually is, Reading. There is no requirement for attribution to read something.

> My concern is that people appear to be extending their claims to suggest that they control the right to be learned from.

Some would claim that training actually is not reading / learning but embedding / encoding. This take creates arguments like the following;

If I were to take his work and gzip it; does that mean I should be able to use it?

Why? Because this is an automated system. You are anthropomorphizing it unwarrantedly.

Not to mention usual copyright arguments like "If I memorize his code and write it on my computer by hand; can I do it now? What if I only remember 90%? 80%? What if I just change variable names?"

This isn't as cut and dry as you make it out to be, in my humble opinion.

I think it is these ones - especially since I can see that they turned to 404 pages later down the line - in order of parts 1 through 5;

> No more unlimited anything on the paid web, but the trade off would be that there are no more ads.

The assumption that publishers wouldn't double, or triple dip is absurd. If you've read any recent magazine you'll notice half of it is advertisement. You'd essentially end up with a paid web _and_ ads.

This is essentially a variant of tragedy of commons by this point.

Most likely reason why it'd be discontinued is that it makes rest of the ads less valuable; so to speak.

People who can afford to & are willing to pay for something like this; tend to also be the type of people advertisers want to actually target: disposable income, willing to spend etc.

You are underestimating the human desire to be useful.

Elderly population not working is _hardly_ the equivalent of UBI. Besides; in most developed countries you are actually _penalized_ for working while retired; and furthermore most elderly people on pension tend to still do work such as handling childcare for grand kids.

There is a balance to be struck.

If people valued reliability and determinism at its absolute maximum, we would still use formal proof methods as Dijkstra was advocating at the time.

Even then he has a fiduciary duty - provided he acts in bad faith (and it is egregious enough); I think it would still be possible to oust him due to that.

Will the real FORTRAN please stand up?

Unironically why typescript is a perfect fit for graphql

This really depends on what field the product is in.

In my opinion; if you can't sell it you could also try to hand it over to another company / third party. Finding someone to take over a project takes a bit of time but it'd allow for it to survive.

However you need legal advice, fast. First talk to a lawyer who understands this.

Hypothetically it could be; but it is anyone’s guess frankly.

Most likely it is multi variate in the end; as it is quite a broad thing.

-mis'li gecmis zaman or "inferential past tense" is "inferential mood" and "past tense".

Essentially old school people categorised tenses out of thin air; and modern linguists define tenses as "time reference",mood as "modality signalling" that is "relationship to the reality / truth" and aspect as "expression of how something extends over time". So aspect doesn't apply here.

So -mis'li gecmis zaman is a tense and a mood. Sometimes.

Sometimes it is something altogether different such as mirativity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirativity).

PS: I have to say, I'm surprised your handle in HN isn't @ssg :)

Turkish, in comparison to English, is a language that is less lexically dense. So in this instance; you don't really need to specify anything; but that also means a lot of sentences _get longer due to said lack of lexical density requiring more words to be used, for clarity's sake and / or heavier reliance on context_. Which follows the cultural lines quite well - Turkish culture is a _high context culture_ whereas English culture is not (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-context_and_low-context_c...).

Here is how I hear it personally; When interest rates rise, demand for other assets go down, which would include these mortgage bonds; which means it is now cheaper to buy your mortgage out due to reduced demand. Essentially your mortgage is now dynamically priced, in terms of extinguishing it; by the market. If so - sounds brilliant actually.

Especially because this would correctly price the change in time value of money changes - without such a system, people are incentivised to pay as slowly as possible when the interest rate on their loan is lower than the central bank rate.

I just bought a new computer for the love of lord...

People use the tools they have. When you want to build an infrastructure tool, you won't (or shouldn't) start with "how to write rust".

Getting to the finish line matters more than using the absolute best fit so to speak.

Same goes for orgs that have a lot of JS talent but no Rust for example.

So can we fix it?

Is this role also possible as a ZZP'er?

Are you also interested in ZZP'ers?
