Can be said for all monopolies. I am not arguing that Amazon is not successful. They are so successful that they are now showing monopolistic behaviour. The MFN principle is enforced - but only for the same reseller. The same product may

It does cripple them, but only those Amazon can strong arm. There are some companies that refuse to sell on Amazon for this very reason - one example I know is Jellycats. MFN applies at reseller level - not at product level (obviously). Yes

Amazon enforces a Most Favored Nation (MFN) condition on sellers, basically implying that they cannot sell the same product elsewhere for cheaper. Funny enough - when Amazon pushes their fees higher, it means the prices go up everywhere, th

It is not velocity, it is not change. Have you read the graphs? What do you think 12% in Aug and Sep for 250+ Employee companies mean, that another 12% of companies adopted AI or is it a flat "12% of the companies have adopted in Aug,

by postexitus 11mo ago
Adoption rate is not derivative of Adoption. Rate of change is. Adoption rate is the percentage of uptake (there, same order with Adoption itself). It being flattening means first derivative is getting close to 0.

That's not an excuse. This company has more than a few handful of employees. Somebody saw those graphs without units, labels, tags and approved them. Have the CEO never opened their own webpage once and scrolled down?

Yep that's what I mean - looks like AI slop to me.

Even if it's not vapourware, the website makes it look like one. Just look at those two graphs titled "Jotunn 8 Outperforms the Market" and "More Speed For the Bucks" (!) ; WTH?

If (That's a big if) they can give RStudio experience in VSCode environment, benefiting from the plugin ecosystem etc. why not? RStudio is great when you are doing your own thing, but when it comes to more generic tools like Git, LLM,

It was actually the case for a very long time - albeit a very successful one, so you never realized.

Let's put an analogy to Google ads - the ads that appear at search results do not make up even 5% of their ad revenue. Even smaller for Meta. They earn their big ad revenues from their network, not from their main apps.

Tapping into AdTech is extremely hard, as it's hard driven by network effects. What you mean is "displaying ads inside OpenAI products" then, yes, achievable, but that's a miniscule part of targeted Ad markets - 2% is ac

Would it have prevented this attack? It would still have published the secrets from your container to github.

looking at the rest of the site - not so sure. They seem to be having the same type of attacks directed towards many people. http://techrights.org/o/2021/04/21/libel-campaigns/ Weirdly enough, mjg59

This is a wild read. Reminds me of blogs written by the Temple OS guy. I wonder how they decided that this is coming from MG - there must be a backstory.

What was the harassment TR/TM was receiving and what was the libel they directed at MG? (juicier gossip please)

Same with everyday language. We just got used to its nuances.

For my parents' first car - they were between a Lada Samara and a (then recently re-designed by Bertone) Skoda Favorit. I was more of a Lada person, but one of their friends convinced them that Skoda is much better and they went along

I always assumed so - because Google can index them full text. It used to be the case that you could see those full snapshots in Google as cache - this was before the sites strong armed Google to remove those snapshots from being accessible

They are not actually bypassing firewalls - therefore I think they are on ethically good grounds. Those sites show their full text for web crawlers - only not to humans. Basically, archive.is and the folk simulate that through various means
