> “Every marginalized community knows what it’s like to be systematically deplatformed”, says Bevensee, who uses non-binary pronouns, pointing to the way in which groups such as sex workers have adopted platforms like Mastodon after finding themselves unable to advertise their services.

> But as Bevensee’s report shows, peer-to-peer platforms are a double-edged sword. “The reason I want it as a trans anti-fascist is the same reason that a Nazi wants it; we just have opposite ends,” they explain.

> “You know who really doesn’t understand it? The FBI,” Bevensee adds: “we’re talking about a technology that can’t be subpoenaed. It can’t be surveiled” and, in order to carry out remote surveillance of private chats, “you would have to back door every single device in the world”.

I really don't understand this person's view. On one hand, they claim platforms like this are helpful to marginalized communities who have been deplatformed on mainstream services. But then they point out that the FBI doesn't have unlimited access to decentralized platforms, as if it's a bad thing?
TSS and the other virtualized OSes on the PDP-8 are really quite an amazing technical achievement. Particularly the limited hardware required to virtualize the PDP-8. The PDP-8's memory is not paged, but in banks of 4 kW with banking handled by IO instructions. If you trap on I/O, everything can be lifted into software. OSes would virtualize things like the serial interface, so unmodified programs would run correctly in the virtual machine. All shockingly modern and clearly inspired by VM/370 only a few years after that had been invented. But early versions of IBM's VM required a machine about 10x as large as the PDP-8 just to boot and handle a handful of users! Something like a dozen users could be supported on a machine with 20 kilowords of RAM running around 100,000 instructions per second, each user presented with a full virtual PDP-8 with 32 kW of memory, a serial interface and a block storage interface, etc. And the entire operating system kernel fit in two banks of memory, 8 kW or 12 kilobytes.

I was about to complain about how their mobile UI made me click a tiny button in the top right instead of using the massive button that did something entirely useless, went to check what the button actually was and found out they've now fixed it.

“startups for startups” is not so much leverage as it is a way to enter the market. If your competition is too entrenched to take on directly, you find a way to “wrap” it with an adjacent product. Then once you have a foothold with joint customers, you expand your product to until your complement is reduced to unprofitable commodity, and customers derive all the value from you.

This is sort of a plot point in Silicon Valley where the Pied Piper team is trying figure out where to physically store files they keep as a remote backup/sync service for a mobile app and end up going with a fully-distributed peer-to-peer solution that uses no servers at all and just stores file shards directly on the phones of all of their users, like the CERN shared CPU time project but for disk space.
nice. I like this project. but there's a problem because you assume here my binary would run on the target machine. which is why I just have a shared filesystem and that's it. I see there's potential in the AI industry if you would like to send microtasks to cloud, that would be amazingly simple.

> As a user, I can use Elasticsearch just fine with the new license. I can read the code, modify it and use in my own projects.

This illustrates just one kind of user. And only in some situations. For example, lets say Elastic.co goes under. Under the license another company couldn't setup a replacement. So, the end user is screwed just as if a proprietary vendor had gone under.

What the companies behind the new licenses are attempting to do is have their cake and eat it, too. They want open source for all the cred and for one type of user. The want proprietary for the complete control of the stack right through some types of hosting situations.

It's hard to produce something completely open and yet monetize it in way that meets VC grown desires. That's why so many companies open source the common stuff but keep the special sauce proprietary.

Are there any 'industrial' applications for the printed holograms? I'm thinking of these as a type of metamaterial and wondering if this provides some type of novel filtering and/or polarizing capability that doesn't exist today. Also given how this is constructed it seems like it might be possible to create holographic geometries that aren't possible with the traditional method of creating them.
How do you draw the line between "user" and "exploiter"? Was there any point in the past Amazon wasn't an "exploiter"? What if a user becomes an exploiter? Can an exploiter become a user through repentance? Where's the legal boundary?

I already mentioned in the parent comment - one of the main reasons for street lighting is safety, and a big part of that is making people feel less comfortable committing crimes because they think they might be recognized.

Yeah I imagine true holograms as dynamic as well, not just a static image.

It's mentioned in passing in the article, but there are very serious concerns about the cool temperatures of modern LED street lights. This is a great podcast that goes into depth: https://www.bigbiology.org/season-3#episode53 One idea that particularly struck me was the point that flora and fauna generally have a long time to adapt to temperature changes (although those at each end of the spectrum will clearly suffer more), and large temperature fluctuations have happened in the past. But this rapid acceleration of cool streetlights is something that hasn't happened in earth's history before, and it's unclear how or if organisms will be able to adapt.
A nice summary from one of the main proponents of the pansychic approach, but curiously omits mention of David Chalmers and contemporary philosophy which the modern renaissance of interest in the idea owes so much to.

Linux is getting features for process checkpointing and migration in the mainline kernel, see the CRIU (checkpoint and restore in userspace) patchset. It needs proper namespacing of all system resources, but we're not far from that with all the container-enabling features that Linux has.
A CLA certainly makes things clearer. But, as is common with legal questions, the answer is some combination of it's not 100% clear and it depends on the particulars. For example, around the time of GPLv3, there was some discussion of whether Linux could be relicensed to GPLv3 if Linus wanted to. (He didn't.) Eben Moglen for one was of the opinion that it probably could be. [1]

I think it’s more useful to think in terms of how well sampled the observations are relative to the size of the output space. SISR is very undersampled, and MISR is oversampled. SAR reconstruction techniques can fall in either bucket.
> Maybe as I learn different habits, that impression will go away.

I'd bet this is true. It doesn't seem fiddly to me as a mathematician. Thinking habits can be really hard to get past though, so I also understand people not liking 1-based. I just think the argument from math is wrong.
I took the parent comment as meaning on a regular Ethernet+IP network. SGI UV and HP Superdome are semi-exotic hardware architectures. ScaleMP requires Infiniband, which is at least 10 times, if not 100, the price of Ethernet; it also requires fiber optic cable for runs > 5 meters.
> Not having data encrypted by default is concerning[..]

While I agree in general, I think rsync's case is special: Unless the file encryption on their side is somehow derived from the SSH connection (so the files are only readable by your connection and while you're connected - is such a thing possible?), it would mean that they have to store the encryption keys somewhere. The far better approach is to treat them as completely untrusted and only store content you locally encrypt before sending it over. That way you don't have to care about them encrypting your data, it's completely in your control. I use restic for that. Works great.

Big companies or those with lawyers notice that the AGPLv3 says the software used to make something a service must be licensed under the same license. Much of that software isn't something a company controls. For example, you put the AGPLv3 software behind a load balancer. Does that software need to be AGPLv3? Some would say so and how often can a company control that license.

Companies with more are conservative on their risk.

Not a lawyer and this is not legal advice
A ton of tasks don't require any graphical data streaming, in fact aside from gaming most resource intensive applications can be run in the terminal and thus easily offloaded to another machine. Text editors are already getting distributed code checkers via LSP, it wouldn't surprise me if in a couple years we could run the whole backend of IDEs on another computer and the local part can be more lightweight than most websites.

Then you only need to drive a 4k screen for displaying a desktop and maybe video playback, which can already be achieved with a passively cooled Raspberry Pi.

My last personal desktop was about 11 years old when I retired it. It had an AMD Phenom II 965, just to emphasize it's age.

It started life with Windows 7 (Win7 was like a month old at the time) and was subsequently upgraded to Windows 8, then Windows 8.1, then finally Windows 10 (and all it's "feature" updates) until it was retired. It ran slower than a new system, but fit my needs perfectly.

If Microsoft had arbitrarily decided I wasn't allowed to run Windows 10 on that hardware, it's very likely I would have installed Linux or BSD - after all, the hardware was a non-trivial investment and discarding it purely to please some company really rubs me the wrong way.

So, I guess I can sort of understand why people jump through these hoops... although personally I would just move onto some other OS that doesn't undermine my ability to operate my personal computer.
I think the Palm WebOS was really ahead of it's time with how they handled multiple apps as "cards." The iOS UI is basically a clone of their approach. The Palm Pre brought some really interesting concepts to smartphones at the time.

I remember back in the early 2000s thinking how cool it was that I had distributed C compilers helping my Gentoo installs along.

I really wanted to set up a university computer lab such that when computers are idle, their CPU cycles are donated to some massively parallel simulations. Worked great on small scale, but I moved on before we implemented it on a larger scale.
It's pretty crazy that we don't have something similar now. And possibly with better security.

No, not really. I've considered that as well. It's ok if the government does it, there is oversight committees, there's the whole issue of the constitution, and eventually all will be known. Plus things can change. The PATRIOT act could very well be overturned one day. I am not saying shady actors won't get away with some shady stuff for a short while. I care more about private side business being allowed to do this unbounded.

Interesting thing’s happening here.

Previously there was a clear line between scene-referred image data, which was treated as objective record of a 2D slice from a 3D world by way of measuring light, and output-referred image data—one of the countless lossy adaptations of that data to fit the limitations of some particular medium (display, paper, etc.) in order to be actually viewed.

The scene- to output-referred data conversion is where objectivity inevitably went out the window, but not earlier—the original scene-referred data was mostly treated as immutable.

What these guys are doing actually happens at the demosaicing stage, and from what I understand the resulting “super resolution” image is still scene-referred—but it isn’t representing the actual captured light anymore! In other words, we’ll have raw images that are partially “guesses” and no longer an objective record.

This isn’t necessarily good or bad, but is somewhat of a paradigm shift I’d say.

As a side note, I wish Adobe released the mechanism so that it could be made one of the demosaicing methods available in open-source raw processors, but I take it this won’t be likely.
Thanks, it looks like Ceddit no longer works though.
"I wonder if they have any sales to large enterprises or similar institutions."

Yes, certainly.

UV and Superdome are custom hardware for huge NUMA boxes,so not a great comparison. ScaleMP is definitely valid though - a real shame it is stuck behind a license fee, would be interesting to experiment with.
I recall working with AngularJS, which output error messages that had links, which opened the documentation with bits from your stack trace filled in.

It was a while ago and seemed a bit gimmicky, but i really enjoyed the ability to see what could be done about an error by opening a web page (without having to manually dig through StackOverflow or other sites).

Now, if we'd get a development framework that'd couple documentation like that, with user generated comments (like PHP has, for example see the bottom of https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php ), then i think the developer experience would improve a bunch!

Who knows, maybe even allow users to contribute possible fixes and allow those as autocomplete solutions and you've just improved on what tools like Codota do a whole bunch!

The color a LED emits is given by the choice of materials (specifically, the band-gap, with E=hν, ν being light frequency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_gap#Light_emitting_diodes... )

"Tunable" LEDs are just multiple LEDs, the goal being to change the emission peak. Peak wavelength can be mapped onto a black body temperature trough Wien's law (λpeak =2.8e-3/T) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien%27s_displacement_law

I don't really know how the mapping is done, though, as there are different ways to map it since the LEDs won't have the same emission curve as a black body.
I guess to clarify, I didn't feel any more unsafe pre-LED than I did post-LED. And of course my experience isn't everyone's experience.

Probably the most unsafe I've felt in the city was a random fight between passenger's on the subway in mid-day when the guy I was standing next to flashed a gun. Probably should have moved away from him now that I'm thinking back on it, for some reason I just kept standing there -- NYC sort of trains you to just accept wild situations I guess. Except if the person starts taking off their pants, then you definitely have to move to the next car.
When universal education happened for white women in Europe what did white schoolgirls do?

With all the resources at their disposal why can't Africans manufacture their own tampons?

Kenyan girls should look on the bright side. At least they are luckier than the county in Ghana where menstruating girls can't go to school because to cross the river between them and their school is a taboo.

Of course the school could be relocated to the other side of the river, but that would mean girls coming from the other side wouldn't be able to go to school.

Simple solution. Have a school on each side of the river.

Humanity only ventured into space in the last few centuries, and Helios 2 is the best current effort, not a fundamental limit.

Also, the real obstacles are not physical speed limits, but the huge cost of getting materials into space. If we ever got enough material into space to provide a true, self-sustaining industry (i.e. non-terrestrial power and materials) then we'd see a space-building boom that could rapidly improve on space exploration.
