Quantum physics teaches us that at the fundamental levels of physics, reality itself is probabilistic. Probability distributions collapsing to discrete locations aligns nicely across LLMs and quantum mechanics.
It's just weird that it's this complicated. We should get a static IP from our DNS. We should use standard open source streaming conversion mechanisms. It should go over basic video codecs.
Lately I've been working towards just using a webserver to host video files. Sure, it's not adaptive, but for goodness sakes it's simple.
Wasted time should not be defined as unproductive time, it should be time you did not experience, time you were completely clocked out, not even enjoyed, not relaxed or relished. Wasted. It is a subtle difference but critical to remember if you want to reclaim your time rather than claiming it for capitalism.
Perhaps this makes a very big difference to you, but I often have to remind myself that iTunes movie rentals are very much alive and function just as they do some ten years ago. No subscription required. Not physical, sure, but a normal rental experience.
The event one seems perfectly fine with a dictionary or even a class that wraps your events and pairs with an event object subscribers can attach to with a singleton attribute.
Rather than picking at the examples like other commenters, I very much agree with the diagnosis, which is that you do not want to pick someone who will protect your baby. That is a babysitter. You want someone who will become a parent of their own.
Ownership is one of the leadership principles. That doesn't just mean owing the things that exist, it means owning the conceptual direction of the company.
People used to and still say the same thing about GPS. As these systems mature they stay up and become incorporated into our workflows. The implication in the case of GPS was that navigating on your own is not a very critical task anymore. Correspondingly the implication here is that software design and feature design are more important than coding or technical implementation. Similar to Google, it's more important that you know how and what to ask for rather than be able to generate it yourself.
>I'm sure people noticed this issue internally and brought it up but some thing by some designer was seen as biblically sacred and overruled all reason.
I disagree. Seems more like the group that implemented border radius at the OS UI implementation level did not work with the group that handles window sizing. Not everything is a conspiracy.
My two cents on this topic is to create short term, superficial incentives to help create the practices that yield the long term incentives. For me this is paying extra for a gym with a hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge. Now I derive relaxation from the workout, but before that I also received a lot of support from the knowledge that the amenities afterwards were waiting for me.
My understanding is that a big appeal of sports gambling is that it adds stakes to entertainment. So instead of casually watching the game you're much more invested. Given this angle, I don't think the majority of casual sports betters are thinking about this in terms of getting rich. It just makes their frequent content more engaging.
