this agent seems indistinguishable from the stereotypical political activist i see on the internet
they both ran the same program of "you disagree with me therefore you are immoral and your reputation must be destroyed"

Reminds me of the time I went to Ceti Alpha 6
> I had been vaguely aware that he had some community around him, but on the event of his death, I tried watching an episode or two of his show.
I do wonder if Scott Alexander means this in the sense that he watched a few shows because Adams had died, or if there were the first episodes of Adams' shows he had watched. Dying does reveal some interesting things about a person - in Adams' case he was doing his live podcasts right up to about the end. I tuned in to one out of ghoulish interest and he seemed to be the sickest person I'd ever seen. He was clearly doing that show because he loved it.
If he had his time over, he'd probably swallow his pride and accept that It Is Not OK To Be White because of the disastrous impact on the Dilbert empire, but I do think Alexander has fundamentally misread what Adams believed it meant to be successful. He wasn't that motivated by commercial success since at least the 2010s, although he had achieved it. He seemed a lot more interested in getting ideas out there and making a difference to people's lives.
Regular listeners know he knew exactly what he was doing i.e. the cancellation was priced in.

Thanks.
So, simply sending a download link for an APK to a friend is not enough anymore - I now have to teach them how to install and use adb.
EDIT
> we are also introducing a free developer account type that will allow teachers, students, and hobbyists to distribute apps to a limited number of devices without needing to provide a government ID.
Depending on how they implement that, this would at least partially improve the situation. Sounds like no ID is required, but I assume the whole ordeal with registering each app is still mandatory.
from what i understand the apk route still works fine, you just have to be willing to attach your identity to it via their verification + signing process

liveview feels a bit too magical
client disconnects, state desyncs, then reconnects, then liveview figures out via crdt and other things how to accurately diff the state
feels like i have to trust it too much - i'd have a lot more confidence if people were vocal about how they are running it at scale, battle-tested etc. etc.
shopify is straight up yolo running rails edge, which is a crazy endorsement
