I would add transition to a more digital era. Apps, distribution, website, in car entertainment etc…

That’s not how this works. Let’s assume there is a correlation between productivity gain due to AI usage and outcome per working hour. No manager/CEO would say “hey, due to AI my workers get the same work done in 30h for which they needed 40h before - let’s cut their working hours down to 30h with same salary”.

No, that’s not happening. Shareholder value has to increase so keep working 40h and produce more outcome.

Why not? The moment anyone offers this option, they get their pick of employees who will both churn less and be better rested for their work time, increasing productivity, whereas their greedy competitors get the people with no better options and burn them out. Despite people's despair, the current situation is extremely unstable.

I understand the point of view from management. But management wouldn't have approved any labor laws, either.

Imagine creating something people still like to pay for after over 20 years. Incredible! Disclaimer: I also have still a subscription.

Regarding LLM: I guess if you count in enterprise/company subscription, LLMs would win. Interesting would be how many really want them or just have to use them…

Aren’t ads payed also via „impressions“, like 10k people saw your advertisement so please pay x money?

Yes, but if a user doesn’t convert the advertiser will see worse performance metrics as cost per click/conversion/install is higher. That isn’t a good long term outcome for the platform, since advertisers can switch their budgets elsewhere (to Google/Youtube)

There’s a delicate balance, more impressions isn’t always a good outcome. Id assume here given the battle against ad blockers that the platforms do believe the aggregate impression mix leads to good performance for advertisers though

Partially, yes. Ads are also psychological, and tracked cross-platform. If you see a BMW ad on Facebook, drive by a BMW billboard on the highway, search BMW on Google, and then go buy a BMW, they have ways of fractionally allocating the conversion to the different impressions. It's pretty crazy.

I always thought last-click attribution was generally used even though partial attribution was technically possible. But my info is a few years stale.

Isn’t it weird to think a LLM “fully understands” something? What does this mean?

It reminds me of this printing trick “until you are 95% confident”…

Would really be interested to know how this influences the work of the LLM. Also, how would it be if I write “until you certainly understand it”?

I guess the main issue is that HTML was supposed to be a language to describe documents. We abuse it to design interactive applications. I would rather like to not have one technology to support to different use cases. It’s a shame we are riding that abomination for developing apps.

An HTML document is also an interactive application - that's what hyperlinks and forms are. The script tag has been a part of HTML since the late 90s, the original intent was that it supported multiple scripting languages. The distinction between "app" and "document" is a modern ideological quirk, few sites are strictly one or the other.

I think ACL is only a part of the solution. If he runs the agent with his account, the ACL would not really help. But I do admit, I might have an outdated understanding of ACLs.

I think the issue is could be that your new partner might be your half sister/half brother which could yield some problems.

The lines that have these issues will be dwarfed by the hundreds that don't. It's scattershot for sure, but if it gets to the point where the rate of inbreeding is statistically significant to the total success of his genetic material, then he has likely already "won" the genetic game.

Based on the topic, this could be intentional.

Given how frequently a hug of death occurs on HN, no downtime would also have to be considered suspicious.

Does it need to be infra only? Is there also a risk by using go/rust/java etc? Like some of those projects are hosted on US sites? During Iran conflict access to US sites was cut (GitHub/NPM/Maven etc is hosted on US entities). To be really independent would mean much more I guess. Even languages who were invented in Europe are mostly dependent on US entities.

Access it through tor.
