No, it wont: Population statistics are among the most robust & stable one and one with the most accurate data that we have across the globe. Populatoin statistics are running reaaaallly slow - on that one day when you see the decrease in the graph, it is already too late.

For a lot of woman in "somehow develoed countries" the labour market is today more attractive than the "marriage market" as women rights etc. give them much more freedom than it was in older days (e.g. in some EU countries the woman had to ask their spouse if they allow them to work up into the 70s).

If you are for women rights etc., then you have to accept that this includes much lower birth rates (as having childrend is not the only way to survive).

Birth rates are only up in countries without any social development of women rights.

This is not what "fungibility" means in terms of accounting & balancing:

In fact, Bitcoin are fungible from a regulatory perspective: As every one USD is worth as another USD, every Bitcoin has same value as another Bitcoin and they are fully intechangeable without any change of value on both sides of the transaction.

Thats the reason why there are NFT - these are not fungible in that sense, as they are not interchangeable one by one, since one 1 NFT may have another value than the next NFT.

I HAVE FOUR WORDS FOR YOU: "I ... LOVE .. THIS .. COMPANY ... yeeeaaaahhhhhh1111"

Since Nadella took over, MS made some substantial steps forward: On Azure, around 30% is Linux; MS went cross platform with some of its most successful apps/ecosystems. Its not that MS behaving like a friend today, but their Dev-tools are really great - at least they care for Devs, i wish they would care for Office users as well.

C# + .NET is from my perspective the most developed and most mature eco system when it comes to business applications.

I really like it!

How will you get paid from a western US/UK bank if you want to receive the money in Iran?

Thats the issue: Most banks do not allow transactions to some countries, and if at all, under very timeconsuming checks&KYC stuff etc

haha who came here because expecting a mini/small iPhone like the SE? :-D

just do a CTRL A in the one LLM and copy it over to the other and see what it says.

Vibe Coding is absolutely OK, .. IF you know what you are doing and if you understand what the result should be.

Example: Most systems have uncritical components which are nice to have but nobody wants to code because "we-can-help-ourself-without-X-by-doing-this-manual-step-but-it-will-be-better-if-someone-does-X-somewhen-in-the-future-but-for-now-we-can-work-without-it"

E.g.: I have polished tons of report due to AI usage; financial reporting usually ends up somewhere with "large loops collecting data and copying it over to the report" - those things are usually "minimum-implemented" and nobody cares since "its good enough to do Y". Its mundane and frustrating to work on those code snippets.

Output streams in general are much more easy now: Lately I had to put together a component to display some numbers in a Windows App, this comes along with things like scaling the data/window correctly etc.; I would have had to put it in windows drawing calls. With a few prompts, I was able to get a perfect rendering component of 1500+ LOC which does exactly what i want and the result is perfect. (even better than in the reference app that we use to compare data output)

There are so many things where LLM are just a boon!

8h work, 1 or 2h commute, then a little bit of self care etc - there is not much time to work on "sideprojects", unfortunately: AI is a superbooster here, as it allows to much forward much quicker than before.

actually, I find the scrolling & browsing here very convenient? And stressless? No adds, no dynamic bullshit loaded, and AgoliaSearch does a quite decent job (while making contrary impression, I agree)

And HN is a website than can be loaded on a smartphone even with superslow connectivitiy :-))

Im also interested in this, so happy to hear any experience!

In my situation i need some type of "remote admin capability", since we are separated :-(

how do you manage parentcontrol on YT?

- new user sign up - new subscriptions - enlengthened subscriptions - mails send - overall interactions - testing of new marketing campaigns/channels (they do massive MVT, even fontsize&coloring)

just to make that clear: churn is tracked/written down for sure, but its not debated in a context of "is churn growing if more people are matching successful" - because in 99.9% of all cases people do not meet successful, so this metric is irrelevant

> higher number of opportunities. <

Limitting search/result is often used to tease users into the subscription. Eg. Tiner allows in free mode only a certain number of swipes. Is it this what you mean? This is usually depends on: Search + text for free but limited, or "pay for everything" I do not see why putting some features behind a paywall is "against users interest" and how this limits/increases his/her chances?

You are claiming that dating sites should be free - this doesnt work usually (POF as exception) - and making users pay for those does not increase his/her chances: EVERYTHING that happens before you met someone will be crashed usually in the very first second you met (and smell!) someone.

So if you have a chance with another person, is something that is completely(!) out of control of the website operator. EDIT: this is something website operators do know, they cant change it and this is something that they should put on their website - they are selling dreams and expectations, which wont become true in real.

Wrong approach; at least until latest, NONE of the standard apps does apply any kind of "real AI" stuff, maybe this changed through the last 3 - 4 years.

All thi matching stuff like "match with X%" is just bullshit.

The only platform having a useful approach here was OKC years ago. (but even for their scoring you would not need any type of sophisticated tech)

this: > ASAP when I connect with someone <

Just one point to add: Have a 5min call before to hear the voice. Weeks ago I had an "experience" with someone, her texts were absolutely OK but with small typos, some which are typical if you are learning the language but all in all it was possible to have a conversation.

Then we met.

She could barely form a useful sentence in real life conversation in our langugage, and she didnt speak English :-/

Since your marginal costs per customer are veeeery low, you can hammer thm with 50-60% discount, which ends up on most platforms at 10 - 20 bucks per month, and if you make 3 - 4 dinners, you get much more out of it than an evening in the cinema

Wrong claim: "There's an opposing network effect of *keeping customers unmatched, because this provides gossip and entertainment among friends, which gives them a reason to continue using a service."

No, this is implying they are doing it with intention - which they dont even have to insist on! They can keep the users, because matching based on an app does not work for 99.99% real cases. So if you treat them well, they will stay anyway, unless your product is shitty.

By far absolutely _not_ true:

- i have worked in the space for some years for two of the biggest platforms in my country

- dating sites track a lot KPI and discuss them and test them thoroughly

- the KPI "do-more-users-leave-our-platform-earlier-if-our-matching-algo-is-just-too-good" - I promise: In alle the years, this question WAS NEVER - NEVER!!!!!!! - raised, regardless wich Manager or which Exec. This metric isnt even debated.

And here comes why: the most important thing to form a relationship are "technicals" which can NEVER be introduced into an app. There may be some advances in genomic matching, but no body deployed this so far and it wont happen unless Apple watch as a gene encoding module.

There are one night stands, there some marriges (we had a "winners board" in our office), but 99% of all cases when people met, its going to be "failure" (in a sense "no match")

Regardless how good your algo is - it doesnt matter when it comes to a reality check.

Therefore, Dating apps have absolutely no fear of you signing off because you fond someome - its very likely that you will come back soon, second: From operators perspective it would be a good thing if people would tell "i found my match on XYZ", but sine this does happen only super rarely, there are only few such stories.

So - NO: Dating sites do fear someone deleting the account.

(except: you are a startup and have to keep every profile to gain some size)

cant Office be run in a VM?

When reading such extreme numbers, I'm always thinking what I may be doing wrong, when my MSSQL based CRUD application warms up its caches with around 600.000 rows and it takes 30 seconds to load them from DB into RAM on my 4x3GHz machine :-D

Maybe I'm missing something fundamental here

ha, he even lists RHIDE!! :-D

The only free solution back then in which you could have a free 32bit protected mode DPMI built-in. And a VESA linear frame buffer!!!

Good ol days :-D

excellent website, thanks.

Helpfer functions exploded over the last releases, id say? Very often I state: "combine this into one function"

another thing I saw in the last days starting: Claude now draws always an ASCII art instead of a graphical image, and the ASCII art is completely useless, when something is explained

are these meant for regular circulation or are these "collection items"?

(Im not from the US, so Im not aware of local specifics)

You are an outdate Boomer!!! I have 37 agents doing that for me!!!!!11^

LOL

Two questions:

a) what is the noise level? In that small box, it should be immense?

b) how many frames do we get in Q3A at max. resolution and will it be able to run Crysis? ;-) LOL (SCNR)
