Sometimes even a high probability draw doesn't get there on the river.

Some people always start with pairs, Axs, or suited connectors.

I suppose a remarkable would be another route but… they are pricey.

What happened to Netflix DVD by mail was that Redbox ate its lunch, which ultimately was also a failing business model.

Book recommendations for learning financial systems.

We’re actually largely in agreement, especially about content creators deserving compensation and the fact that distribution is vacuuming up most of it.

This is such a willfully ignorant take, it’s wild. Anyone who has a cursory understanding of game theory can see that if this were true a simple recursion would occur:

1. Everyone would pirate movies/tv/books. 2. There would be $0 in producing media. 3. Significantly less media would be produced. Anything capital intensive would be gone. 4. Demand for anything that could be produced would skyrocket. Imagine putting together a blockbuster film when the world hasn’t seen one in a century. 5. People would pay money for the product of 4.

Just because we can get something for $0 doesn’t make it worth $0. I could enslave my neighbors and make them work for me, that doesn’t make human labor worth $0.

However I can think of plenty I’d do with the model weights for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Can’t you?

I can go on with hundreds of examples. The Waymo source and models, as another example. Enumerating everything would detract from the message so I’ll stop here.

I realize I’m responding to an account created four minutes ago but… the output of nearly all work done on a computer meets this criteria. Is all work done on a computer worth $0 in your view?

They’re very nontechnical.

There’s a very real chance I just missed some initialization code that Ratatui might do out of the box that the other library was not.

Edit: Issues experienced by windows users were no colors, terminal flashing on every keypress, all keypresses registered as double.

Edit2: This miniature rant inspired me to go back to the commit and submit a patch to eliminate the event reporting on KeyUp and enable terminal colors.
