What if every time someone buys in, so it's just me, you, and the new person buying in, I just always murder them immediately? Is that allowed?

that's definitely a possibility, it's not an exact science.
My suggestion is to go with your gut. If you feel cold, you more than likely are cold.

Reply to comment by cowloom in File systems should detect when a file contains only alphanumeric text and reencode it so it takes less space on disk. (This post brought to you by the C en_US locale) by flabberghaster
Not if it's part of the filesystem spec; in that case, the other OS's driver should transparently en/decode it. That's why I said filesystems, not having this as a userspace conversion.

Reply to comment by devtesla in Should Jstpst add a chatbot? Should the chatbot throb and wiggle until you open it? Should it open itself anyways? Should it reappear when you close it? I think we should add sound effects. It should take 600MB RAM and 99% CPU utilization I think. Does anyone want this? by twovests
I can't follow you on this one chief. jstpst.net NEEDS a slop factory if we ever hope to keep our DAUs up.

Reply to comment by devtesla in Actually kind of good app idea by flabberghaster
I listen to a ton most of which have no ads, but Behind the Bastards, It Could Happen Here and Better Offline are all I heart radio and they have all kinds of fuck ass ads.
It's so funny to be listening to better offline, where the whole podcast is about how bad AI is, and every ad is about how you NEED to up your AI game to keep up in the market.

The dynamic ad thing I knew about but I didn't think of it when I made this. The "if it got big it would crater the already not great podcast ads business model and put people whose output I like out of work" did occur to me.
I feel like you could may be work around the dynamic ads issue if you were good enough with signal processing. Originally the idea was "the only good use case for an AI I can think of, is one trained to recognize ads in podcasts and skip over them" but then I tried to think how to do it without AI.
Even if you didn't use AI, you could probably do what Shazam did where it could recognize a song. The app would instead, recognize the point in the podcast where they were just about to throw to ads, and when they come back, and skip over anything in between. This would still work with tagging probably.
The podcast companies would come up with countermeasures I'm sure. And it seems quite complex. But I wouldn't have to hear about sports betting as much.

100%. They bill it as "you don't have to pay a guy to run your on prem hardware for you" but you absolutely do not save money once you've scaled to the point you need a few machines.
And by that point, your software is probably so tied in to proprietary Amazon stuff that they've got you in a vice.
It's the same model as Oracle: oh we're so easy to use and friendly, and we have all these great Oracle specific features, go ahead and use them! 😊 but then they have you locked in and they can just start squeezing.
