Yeah, but then generally you pick the language your dev team are most familiar with.

Or you hire a team of specialists for the language you want. Perhaps niche languages should have fine-tuned LLMs in the same way.


That’s the second C-suite I’ve seen on here today posting about how your entitlement to things should be directly proportional to your wealth.

Has a new memo gone out? Have we moved on from AI to ultracapitalism as the c-suite talking point?


LPEs are really not impressive enough to warrant names and websites.

Make it illegal to sell tickets above face value.

I was a big fan of what the Cure did, they played our town and they did not allow any tickets to be resold for anything above what they originally went for.

Non-transferable I think? But you could resell them via ticketmaster maybe for facevalue?

It was amazing, we sat on the ticketmaster page, refreshed over the course of a day and we got 8th row for I believe $75 - it was an amazing concert, and being able to pay a reasonable price for tickets like that was amazing.


How does this not just bias who gets ticket to those with more time preference.

willingness to stand in line for a ticket probably correlates well with fandom

Standing in line is (today) a digital process that a scalper can trivially scale

It seems unlikely they'd continue to do do that if they weren't able to flip it at a higher price later

X$ for the ticket plus a convenience fee/service fee for standing in line.

It seems baked into the concept of "reselling can't be done at a higher value" that transfers would have to be limited to a platform where that sort of thing is prevented. For example, if the reselling market is just "add your ticket to the pool for people to buy, and if someone does, they get the ticket and you get the money", there's no way for the sellers to contact the buyers, so I'm not sure how you'd envision an out-of-band payment occurring.

Why bother if there’s no profit?

How does willingness to pay more money not correlate with fandom?

Willingness to pay is not the same as ability to pay.

Tories, in particular Steve Barclay and Rishi Sunak

And Peter Mandelson lobbying for them.

The UK government does whatever Meta tells them to do. We tax cigarettes because they’re bad for you. Let’s tax algorithmic news feeds.

I'm curious what Meta has changed UK policy wise? I'm a Brit and not heard of such policy changes.

Basically Meta wants age verification done by devices, the device makers (apple, google) want it on the platform, two sides who don't want the responsibility. On the other side are hundreds of billions invested in companies that offer age verification to websites (persona, etc.). All of these monied interests generate billions into lobbying/corruption efforts that drive all the legislation across the western liberal "democracies" rn.


And who tells Meta what to do?

They do what makes money, or what they think will make money.

It isn’t fair, but few rackets are.

No floppy disk. I guess they didn’t actually kill it with the iMac but they certainly facilitated its death.


The powers that be decided to quietly drop it because they’re not willing to come out and publicly support it.

The government could make time for this and they could tell the lords to do one. They just chose not to.


So you don’t think any of this is down to not enough staff and poor training?


I'm sure there are many systemic issues but the primary victims are the elders. For starters, they don't have a choice but to be there.


To play the devil's advocate, if the issues are systemic, the elders are the ones that have been cultivating that system their whole lives.
