Projects that start out as basic HTML/CSS (perhaps with server generation, like Rails) can run into major problems when they gradually need to start adding interactive features (which, in my experience, is almost certainly going to be the case with any company whose website is a significant part of their product and who have not yet found product-market fit).

It's really easy to use jQuery or some small purpose-built JavaScript library to add simple interactive features like a datepicker or accordion menu. But then you start building your own interactive features, with no framework or architecture in place to manage the ever-increasing amount of client state that is changing in a user session.

At some point (and I would argue it's pretty early on), it becomes far simpler to have a client-side UI framework/library/architecture in place, even if it is initially too heavy for your current needs. Your website is probably not going to need less interactivity as your product and business progresses.

I think the pirate scene will be the first, which will take AV1. They always are very advanced in terms of technologies.

AV1 is just a very new codec. You can use it in the Web for Chrome and Firefox. But it is too early to use for downloadable video files. For video files you need a OS support. Microsoft has it only in Beta. Android will support it in Q. Linux supports AV1 already.

I think in next year we will see more and more AV1 everywhere, including pirate torrent trackers.

Yup, I actually do this right now using Shortcuts.app on my phone to SSH into my server and pipe my latest bookmarks from Pocket into ArchiveBox!

It's a nice way to update my archive with one tap from my phone.
Because you might need to reply to a specific email with all the same people CCd in who wouldn't necessarily be copied in by the bugnumber address. It also includes the appropriate message ID to make threading work. And you can quote the necessary bits to put the reply in context.

The fact that you need to jump through these hoops to respond so that people will see your reply is another reason why it's a really painful and inefficient workflow.
It's only recently been possible to actually use HEVC/x265 for transparent encodes, previous versions of x265 removed film grain/digital noise to such a degree that the quality was worse than x264 at equivalent bitrates. Combine that with the massively increased costs in both encoding/decoding time (and worse x265 encoding tools/knowledge), x265 simply wasn't worthwhile except for crappy re-encodes at super low bitrates for people with crappy internet.

AV1 is far from ready even for crappy bitrate starved releases, but that's where you'll see it used first.

Recently you've begun to see a lot of x265 releases though, usually with HDR, the only significant feature x264 can't provide.

For sub-4K SDR content there's really no incentive for pirates to switch to x265 or AV1, it's just a nuisance. With torrenting people don't pay for the extra bitrate x264 requires, unlike streaming services like Netflix, the ~20-40% bitrate savings of x265 and AV1 are not important at all, especially compared to the other "costs" of compatibility issues and 10X-100X longer encode times.

Why are we making this move? Our mission is to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity, and our primary approach to doing this is to actually try building safe AGI. We need to raise billions of dollars to do this, and needed a structure like OpenAI LP to attract that kind of investment while staying true to the mission.

If we succeed, the return will be exceed the cap by orders of magnitude. See https://blog.gregbrockman.com/the-openai-mission for more details on how we think about the mission.

You may be new to "embrace, extend, and extinguish" [1]. Everything looks great during the embrace phase. In fact, everything looks even better during the extend phase. Industry has a short-term memory for this tactic and it does seem to be going in Microsofts favor at the moment.

I'm curious to see how they will act once they regain sufficient market share. Will the old MS appear and will they implement the extinguish phase?

I don't see the problem. If they get AGI, it will create value much larger than 100 billion. Much larger than trillions to be honest. If they fail to create AGI, then who cares?

CLOS fabric topology is the most common deployment with IB, so I'm not sure how that plays into the hands of ethernet?

But yes, seems EVPN + VXLAN is the way the industry is going nowadays to build eth CLOS fabrics, whereas Trill & SPB seem more or less dead, for some reason.

Everybody is saying ethernet is simpler to manage than IB, but IME at least for HPC the opposite is true. IB is more or less plug and play, you get RDMA, multipathing etc. all right out the box. Whereas if you'd set up an equivalent thing with ethernet, you'd have to set up DCB, RoCEv2, EVPN+VXLAN+BGP (or something equivalent).

I think this is a great idea.

Further: it will remove the friction of doing anonymous surveys. I would do them way more often for various things (similar to the coin flips) if they were easy to do.
I stated lodging option, meaning places to stay. I was not tallying hotel rooms, which is another metric.

You and I apparently travel different places, so my experience is different than yours.

But you're right about booking.com having the best chances of booking online in very small places.
It rubs you the wrong way that I start with an example that clearly illustrates the point I'm trying to make?
To my knowledge it doesn't let you go in the other direction with motion interpolation though. Maybe there is a way to get blender to run a video through ffmpeg's minterpolate filter, but I haven't looked into that.
The short answer is that it can (usually) archive SPAs sucessfully. The long answer is that the wget archive method will download the JS, and in theory it should execute in the archived version just like it does on the normal site, but in practice it doesn't always work 100%. Luckily that's why ArchiveBox also saves a Chrome-rendered version of the page as a PDF, Screenshot, and DOM dump, so you should be able to archive most javascript-heavy content without too many problems.

Cool, awesome to see more opensource in this space. A long time ago (2009), I was launching the world digital library (wdl.org) had to deal with lots of content translations. I tried using Pootle (which also supports saas api translation as a starting point), but we ended up just using Transifex with consultants, because machine translations weren't good enough at the time. The world has changed :-)
I always code with two slightly overlapping windows, and quickly switch between them using alt-tab. I can't imagine a tiling WM to be an improvement, to be honest, because it will make my coding windows smaller. I'm curious about the other features, though.
Heroku costs $20/month/dyno. You can probably compare the performance of that to a t3.nano, which is ~$4/month.

An engineer costs, lets say $7000/month.

Now, all you have to ask is: How much time will the engineer be investing in the infra every month. Lets say you SSH in and update the system packages. 10 minutes? That's $6. Hope nothing goes wrong during the upgrade; remember, you're on the clock. Every minute you spend with that shell open is wasting money. Need to add SSH access for the new guy? Oof, we're gonna have to exchange some SSH keys, that might take 20 minutes. $12. Just got an email from AWS about a new Ubuntu AMI that fixes a security vulnerability... lets plan an upgrade. 1 hour. $30. We want to be more resilient against AWS maintenance downtime on instances, so lets bake an AMI and create an ASG. That's not too hard. Maybe a couple hours.

Oh... we just paid the difference for Heroku for an entire year. AND our engineers were able to focus on the product.
But ten years ago, the go-to solution to avoid buffer overruns was still the same as another ten years earlier (languages like java) and it was already depressingly clear that this solution would not spread further into the domain of C/C++ than it already did. Today, the hope lies with Rust and we are yet to discover the eventual limits of its adaption. The trajectory hasn't looked better than today in a very long time.

I love Mozilla and I'd support them open sourcing it. But I think they probably don't have much motivation to do so, as there are plenty of competing archiving tools already in the public domain, and their value-add as a paid archiving service would be reduced if anyone could run a white-label version of Pocket with one click.
"That's of course a lie."

That was rude and unnecessary.

According to [1], you are right and this article is used as you described against targeted political activists.

At the same time, it is not how it is used in general case [2].

Moreover, if you look, for example, at the preceding article (20.1 - disorderly conduct in public places) [3] you must conclude that in Russia people are jailed for 15 days for saying 'fuck you' to somebody in a public place. Which, of course, is not happening because the degree of punishment, while at the judge's discretion, has to be proportional.

There's no problem with systems which allow interaction by email. It can be handy, and if you like that, then the Debian BTS is convenient for responding to bugs as a maintainer. However, email-only systems which don't offer any other methods of interaction can be problematic.

email-only interaction can be massively inefficient. For larger changes, I might need to change the severities, tags, and follow up to dozens of bugs. For every metadata change I make, I need to check the reply to make sure the change took place. That means manually tying together sent emails with BTS replies and repeating any which failed.

I used to track all this on large pieces of paper! I shouldn't need a manual system to manage my interaction with an issue tracking system. When I press submit in any other system, the effect is immediate. This is hugely costly in terms of time and effort to do really trivial and mundane things. It's one thing to do it once, but what happens when you make 30 changes and have to wait 20 minutes for each request to round-trip? It's a logistical nightmare which can take several hours to complete.

If I was to highlight a single problem with the Debian BTS, it's that there was a failure to acknowledge its inefficiencies and look at other systems. The criticisms raised in this thread aren't new; they were known 15+ years back. There's a reason why the others are not using email as their primary mode of interaction, and it's a shame the BTS didn't get a decent web frontend to make it more efficient as well as more accessible.
you misread my point. I was saying that the policy disagreement comes from that fundamental attitude difference with regard to vulnerability/dependence. It is not an explicit policy goal for all leftists to have kumbaya circles. My point is we cannot eradicate poverty and other economic injustice without recognizing the need for mutual dependence. I challenge you to come up with a plan for eradicating poverty and injustice that does not involve human codependency.

But those who would say the only acceptable plan is basically everyone lifting themselves up by bootstraps do not respect or acknowledge the truth of our fundamental vulnerability and dependence on one-another on this earth.

IDK, IME IB is pretty much plug and play in an HPC setting. Plain ethernet is too, sure, but if you want to do HPC type workloads you'll have to do a lot of configuration and testing to setup DCB, RoCEv2, EVPN+VXLAN+BGP or such.

But I think this is the way the market is going in the longer term.

It would be truly shocking of macro-scale fossils visible to the naked eye were found (although perhaps fossils of large microbial mattes or films could be found that way?)

With Mellanox ethernet switches, you lose some other features in exchange for lower latency. i.e. you can only break out 16 ports to 4x25G on a 100G switch (64 25G ports).

Many OSS companies have no problem with that. It's more of a problem that users demand features and consulting without rendering payment.
Things started “working out” pretty recently, once we started applying more rigor to our thinking. Life in the thousands of generations before was pretty rough by comparison, to put it very mildly.
Also fax's tend to be horribly insecure at the recipient end. You're not sending to a person, you're sending to some physical location, usually public, and hoping nobody loses it or picks it up and read it.

This is fairly common at hospitals (when they don't have a fax server setup) and manifests as "oh the fax didn't come through" (even though it definitely sent successfully).
I read a whitepaper recently that a MEMS accelerometer can provide sufficient entropy to derive random numbers from. Either way, I would treat external sensors as only a raw entropy source, and use them to drive a CSPRNG reseeded from an entropy pool. I don't think it's cryptographically secure to use the values directly. (Maybe an expert could chime in here?)

I've been looking at ways to get cryptographically secure random bytes on low power micros, and that's the approach I'm taking. The standard for CSPRNGs is AES-GCM, which is a bit heavy, though. Anyone know if Fortuna still acceptable to use?
Have you tried paid services/consulting arms of software or cloud companies? Teams that bill customers at an hourly rate? They generally look for generalists who can help customers tackle problems at different levels of the stack. They aren't looking for PhDs in statistics.

When I interview people who have your type of background, I tend to get confused by what exactly it is the person wants to do (Analyze Data? Build an Analytics Pipeline/Architecture? Write Software/Services? Be an Analytics IT person?). Sometimes they have to talk about all the "cool" stuff they've done and lose focus on what they bring to the role. I also become skeptical because it's really easy nowadays to follow a few tutorials on 50 different things and then boast about how you did it all yourself.

Even reading your comment, you don't sound like somebody who wants to analyze data.

As far as being a generalist, I definitely agree that it's good to have somebody with skills in ETL, analyzing data, and maybe building a software service. But what happens is that all those things happen at different speeds and then people get crushed. You're asked to investigate some data quickly over 3 days, but suddenly the software service you built is having issues and you need 2 weeks to dig in and fix it, and also your ETL job is overloading the server you need to fix it yesterday but you need help from a somebody else to figure it out. Oh, and that Metabase thing you installed is broken and the VP was using it and has a big demo tomorrow.
