I agree $40 per month for Plus (<$200,000 pa sales) seems steep for someone just trying out selling something, discouraging all those young hopefuls.

They compete with UE, so whatever UE does, they must also, for at least the appearance of parroty. But make no mistake: Unity is the reason Unreal suddenly got cheaper and open source a few years back. Both companies read The Innovator&#x2

PowerVR was in all iPhones when they were creating the "smartphone" category, til apple inhoused it a few years ago. Recently powerVR GPUs are in every low-end Android phone I've looked at. I expect they had to break into n

IIRC Imagination threatened to sue Apple over use of its GPU tech - though I expect Apple meticulously avoided use of IMG IP, and IMG dropped it.

Is there any evidence here beyond correlations?

It's trivial to switch search engines, so Google invests in PR to make it stickier. All those cool google projects that are constantly in the news? The ROI is PR. It also made massive capital investment in server farms, for fast result

There's a role for truly domain-expert tutors (who deeply understand the material, not "expert at teaching"), but who will pay the correct price to lure them from every other profession? It doesn't scale because necessa

Some kind of hierarchy - but nested abstractions seem difficult to name and unhelpful to use. What about picking a single instance (actual song) as representative? A platonic form, at that level of abstraction. Expanding that node would giv

The bit about being unable assess expertise reminds me of Dunning-Kruger, and also The Prince: > A prince who is not wise can never get good counsel, unless he puts himself completely in the hands of a wise man; but such a man will soon

I wonder if doing some activities that are authentic for you, and in a way that is authentic for you, would help meet similar people - as fellow-travellers, rather than focusing on "companionship" in itself. Could be favourable g

I expect "Seeing Like a State" goes into it, but top-down global abstraction and standardization often does work. e.g. mass production, mass media, and States themselves are unbelievably, fantastically successful. The point is mor

Doesn't "electricity bill" dominate server/DL/nining datacenter workload costs these days - so perf/W is what really counts? The long-prophecised ARM apocalypse may finally be at hand.

flappy pong! Great game-feel and sound. Only complaint is a standard one: on mobile, your thumb obscures the play area. Maybe have a surrounding area be touch sensitive? Or say it's part of the challenge, to switch thumbs, like you&#x2

Thanks, sounds interesting.

I was thinking of the lack of conjunctions in the sample, which increases the complexity IMO - like a variable for each operator result in an algebraic expression, or CFG without BNF. It's needlessly tedious, it doesn't map to the

I like the idea of minimal English, but you can't eliminate essential complexity, only push it around, like marbles under the carpet. It ends up like technical writing, where specific repeated phrases have specific meanings (I'm t

Speed and space (of course!) help, but with terrible O complexity, it doesn't really matter how much memory you have or how fast you are. The search space gets big too fast. e.g. changing the question, reasoning by analogy How do we ha

Sorry, this trivial eg is still way over my head. Is it related to (high school) polnomials always having complex roots, but not necessarily real roots? But that constraint on reals seems like "structure" to me, and complex number
