Very ironically, this violates the MIT trademark in a quixotic pursuit of intellectual property ludditry.

Glad we have a name for this. I had been calling it “context shaping” in my head for a bit now.

I think good context engineering will be one of the most important pieces of the tooling that will turn “raw model power” into incredible outcomes.

Model power is one thing, model power plus the tools to use it will be quite another.

How does the encoding work? Did you write up the algorithm separately?

Spare parts are expensive because they’re priced to willingness to pay which is usually “if it’s significantly less to repair than replace, repair”. $100 part + $200 labor is cheaper than a new $500 machine. Repair let’s tend to have much much higher margin for manufacturers than the original machine.

Email. Cold email costs $0.01 per message per address to send.

How we distinguish warm va cold, idk

What’s the deal with captable.io transitioning from “a public service for every startup to safeguard their equity from day one” to basically the same price model as carta?

Why weren’t legacy companies given grandfathered pricing?

I can confirm. My company is a top 2,000 amazon seller (top 0.1%) and we’ve never bought or incentivized a single review. Our fake spot grade is “B” with some products getting “A” and others “D.”

Most recently amazon changed their review gathering algorithm in a way that increases the percent of customers who leave reviews. The acceleration in our review velocity is flagged by fakespot as suspicious.

Why not just agree that speed runs exclude the time between minigame start and minigame end, vs allowing an external tool?

Also, stock buybacks don’t incur capital gains tax until the appreciated stock is sold. Dividends are taxed when issued.

Maybe there’s an effect of executive compensation, but the standard narrative on buybacks is tax avoidance

I always shot for a “B+” in college. My logic was that in 5 years I’d remember the content at a B+ level, and any incremental effort was better spent socializing or building student organizations.

I’m of the opinion that the scariest words to a startup founder/employee should be “exit below the liquidity preference”

For business users, can a single password be stored in multiple “shared folders” or groups?

For example, can I share a password with both “marketing” and “customer support”

The lack of this is one of the biggest pains I have with LastPass

There are at least two other factors:

1) most of these certifications come with large philosophical impact. You can’t choose to be a “social impact only” B Corp, for example, you have to go all in on their philosophy on waste management too.

2) by not publicizing you reserve the option to switch grades/practices if necessary in the future.

But not the 2 dimensional index(match, match) use case, unfortunately

Will LTSE support reg A+ early IPOs?

If anybody is looking for an industry to disrupt: manufacturing, inventory, and logistics software is a complete disaster right now.

I pay $X,XXX a year for manufacturing software, and I just had to write software like OP for my own company.

The software I buy can turn product demand into ingredients and orders. But it can’t do it into the future. So I had to write custom software to take a sales forecast, turn it into a production forecast, and then turn this into a purchasing forecast. Seems like something that should be a solved problem, but not really.

In the success path it costs like a loan. In the failure path it gets paid nothing

Let’s consider a more realistic scenario: shared account and a soon to depart disgruntled employee.

The havoc someone in that situation could cause is substantial.

You change the password and they still have access to be angry and delete things or send malicious communications or steal secrets for their new employer.

We had this exact disgruntled employee issue with an instagram account in 2016.

Linux is GNU and two other children in a trench coat functioning very successfully as an operating system.

In this case, AGPL seems to be an open source veneer on a free during development license.

Notion feels like SVN. The implementation that is workable and delivers enough value to tolerate, but isn’t quite there.

Somebody please take what they’ve done, fix the annoyances, and turn it into Git.

A single central source of truth is long long overdue

I use a pair of wired headphones nearly daily, not only are the advantages small but the overall item is worse.

Let me phrase it backwards: how good is aggregate data that throws away outliers in a complex system that isn’t yet fully understood?

There are even objective tests for pain based on heart rate response to exertion

Yes. Something called “post exertional malaise” which can be tested via the Stevens Protocol.

In short, given the same exercise test two days in a row, normal people behave the same (slightly better even) but CFS patients degrade substantially.

A variety of other tests such as tilt table tests, Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Tests (CPET) and Advanced Invasive CPET are also able to diagnose physical symptoms, and sometimes even treatable sub-sets of the condition.

As written, it is ambiguous.

You say you don’t reveal the prize, but one can remove six cups at random without revealing their contents.

“Removing cups” is not the same as “removing empty cups.”

If the rules of the game permit you to remove the cup with the prize, it is significant. I think the math and optimal strategy changes.

“The price will rise, but now” is the most tenuous loss aversion I’ve ever heard of.

“You have a $10 credit, it expires in 2 days” would test loss aversion.

That consumers behave rationally in the face of price rises is an interesting finding. But it’s a far cry from testing loss aversion.

I break it down into 5 levels of wealth/freedom:

Class 1: you can afford your current lifestyle without concern for daily expenses, and could withstand 1 or more major emergencies (job loss, car destroyed, $30,000 bill) without reducing your lifestyle.

Class 2: your assets are sufficient that with a reduction in lifestyle you never have to work again.

Class 3: your assets are sufficient that with no reduction in lifestyle you never have to work again.

Class 4: no amount of incremental wealth will increase the amount you’d spend on a primary home, and you never have to work.

Class 5: no amount of incremental wealth will affect your spending on vacation homes, yachts, or planes and you never have to work.

There are obviously levels of subsistence below these. But these are, to my mind, the levels of wealth/freedom. Below these I wouldn’t call someone financially secure or say have “financial freedom.”

I think when creating these tiers it’s important to acknowledge that lifestyle is a variable and some people’s preferences make it easier to achieve different levels. If you have caviar tastes, you need more money to make it into class 1. If you are extremely frugal and well paid, it doesn’t take much actual money to make it into class 5. Lifestyle vs freedom is a choice and there’s a trade off - do you use extra money to buy lifestyle or to buy freedom?

Why not just switch to compostable plastics - CLA and PLA are virtually indistinguishable to customers and not that much more expensive.
