Commoditize Your Complement - Apple wants accessories to be cheap.
You might want to pay for the Made For iPhone certification for some things, but I doubt most cases have it.
Rephrasing the argument made in the post, math was like a "take a book, leave a book" exchange where you solved a problem, and in the process you discover more problems so the pool of interesting open problems is renewed. What OpenAI and the other labs are doing is akin to
- taking all the books in the exchange (which is technically allowed)
- destructively scanning them (still technically allowed)
- and not leaving any new books in their place (which is frowned upon, but there's no rule that says you have to replace books you take)

The US pays much more for drugs than any other country. I guess one possibility is that no one has any leverage and big pharma is able to charge Americans more because they're richer. But the more popular theory is that countries can negotiate better prices than individuals can (yes, technically insurance companies can negotiate prices, but they seem unmotivated to drive any costs down). It seems the previous administration thought the government can negotiate lower prices:

I always wondered why almost all the kids bikes sold in Canada have coaster brakes. I actually thought all kids bikes had coaster brakes until I saw some at Decathlon with hand brakes (turns out it's a French company).
Not mine. I just happened to hear about it from a colleague recently.
"minimum standard of 2 meters that was still in place when Paris 2024 plans were approved; but below the new World Aquatics minimum of 2.5 meters."
Although the recommendation has been 3 meters for a while.
Zelenskyy seems to have risen to the occasion.
What I mean is this movie is so bad it will ruin it for the next "Coyote" movie, so they don't want anyone to see this movie. Maybe the only compromise that works is to put it in a time capsule and not open it for 100 years.
There is some value in not having a "Coyote vs. Acme" film released this year (either by Netflix or the Library of Congress) because they could try to make a profitable version soon but people may not give a new version a fair chance if a really bad version was released recently.
They presumably value that option more than whatever Netflix et al. offered.https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/9/24067496/coyote-vs-acme-am...
I think your first proposal addresses the root cause.
But the second proposal - forcing municipalities to write options with unlimited potential losses - is silly. The whole point of the zoning authority is to say "it'll be best for the neighborhood in the long run for there to be some retail shops here", and it makes sense whether you're talking about a lot or the first floor of a building. If the development isn't profitable with the ground-floor retail requirement, then just don't build it.
Some sort of option might work, but it would have to be something like: the municipality can choose to rent the space for a fixed price if it's vacant for long enough. This encourages the landlord to rent it for some higher price.
According to the article: "all charges that providers impose at their discretion, i.e., charges not mandated by a government." So they wouldn't need to include your school excise tax.
If they charge different fees depending on address (again, not taxes) then it seems like the intended effect to provide the actual price the consumer will pay.
That's basically what Audi has (at least in some older models): it's a scroll wheel that also works as a d-pad. It works pretty well with Android Auto (no experience with Apple Car Play). Mazda also has a similar-looking interface.
But it seems those two companies are moving towards touchscreens due to market demand.
And for this particular attack, constant time isn't even enough! You would need either constant power, or limit the frequency when running secure code (which again reduces performance).
Until consumers demand this as a requirement, it won't happen. Almost everyone would rather have a compiler/language/OS/ISA/CPU that's finishes faster some of the time, rather than one that finishes at the same time all the time. It would just appear (especially in benchmarks) to be slower for no apparent benefit.
Maybe we can introduce a new set of instructions that are guaranteed to be constant time, but good luck convincing the compiler/language/OS to use these slower instructions even if just for the code that is important for security.
I shall invoke Godwin's law, and compare this to IBM supplying Nazi Germany with computers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_World_War_IIDo you honestly believe that the right thing for IBM to do was honor German contracts after the USA and Germany declared war on one another? If so, would German bombardment of American cities change your mind?
Paying someone to plan a trip for you is definitely not a product, so not a MVP. Running a course is closer to a full-fledged product (more than a MVP) for a company that sells courses to students, but Maven is a platform for creating courses...
By the definitions laid out in the article waitlists and crowdfunding campaigns would be MVTs to address marketing or "building something people don’t want" risk.
I think to actually poison the well, we should add code to existing repos with dead code clearly labelled as "the way that things shouldn't be done" that are wrong in subtle ways. So every time we fix a security issue, we keep the version with the bug with some comments indicating what's wrong with it. Of course, this only works until the AI is trained to weigh the code based on how often the code is called.
Like a kind of inflation that devalues both code written and associated technical debt.
Do we know for a fact that the investors sold the equity back to the founder and not the company (like a stock buyback)? The investors just wanted to get out, so tracking down former employees, deciding how much equity each one deserves, and selling them equity probably isn't what they want to spend time doing. So the only real options would be selling to the company, or to the founder.
But only the best examples of GPT-3 output will be worth putting on the web, so even without any code improvements in future GPT-x models you can still expect an improvement in quality. A writer (human or AI) should be able to improve by writing a million articles and then be told which ones are good (i.e. worth publishing).
I don't think there was a way to hide this from Twitter once it was executed, since each hacked account got a password reset email. Assuming that you can't hide it from Twitter, then it's a fine strategy to make sure that everyone, especially potential customers of the hacked DMs, knows that you hacked these accounts.
I think your anecdote only shows how much discretion the immigration department has in enforcing the law. That same discretion could easily go the other way if someone were to embarrass Japanese authorities.
Thank you. The game description in the article didn't really make sense since it skips the (impossible) claim that:
1. Every row has an even sum
2. Every column has an odd sum
You: Other party refused to show it to me
Other party: :O
As long as gaming the system means solving a real problem, that would be a good thing right?
If you could shoot 100% deep twos, you'd only need to make 67% of 3-pointers to make it better to shoot 3's. The typical FG% is about 60% for layups, and 40% for 3's. You'd have to get better at these deep 2's than layups to make this worthwhile!
