I think you're getting heavily downvoted with your comments on this submission because you seem to be missing a critical sociological dimension of assumed trust. If you submit a patch from a real name email, you get an extra dimension of human trust and likewise an extra dimension of human repercussions if your actions are deemed to be malicious.

You're criticizing the process, but the truth is that without a real name email and an actual human being's "social credit" to be burned, there's no proof these researchers would have achieved the same findings. The more interesting question to me is if they had used anonymous emails, would they have achieved the same results? If so, there might be some substance to your contrarian views that the process itself is flawed. But as it stands, I'm not sure that's the case.

Why? Well, look at what happened. The maintainers found out and blanket banned bad actors. Going to be a little hard to reproduce that research now, isn't it? Arbitraging societal trust for research doesn't just bring ethical challenges but /practical/ ones involving US law and standards for academic research.
Do you take all marketing that seriously? IMO it's best to decide what a tool is best for based on quantitative measures, and assume marketing material is just meaningless fluff to get readers excited. I'm pretty sure you can find $200 laptops get advertised as great for creative workflows
This is such a simplistic view of “the little guy”. The dollar system is set up such that they have to ‘invest’ or else they will never be able to afford a house. Savings will bankrupt them. Stocks are meaningless, just handing your money to rich people that will never give it back in hopes that you can sell it for more later. But the whole system looks like it’s in free fall, so that doesn’t seem likely. Crypto would have zero value if normal people weren’t scared and distrustful. I can’t recall a market mania that didn’t start with massive rises in home prices.

You budget for a tiny team, getting paid minimum wage and hoping that you can stretch it to a further injection of funds. Most startups who get to YC or HAX already have a demonstrable MVP and the 125k should get you to customers, a further investment or some kind of industry or government grant. Occasionally you can talk the incubator into a couple more convertible notes if you need to get over an obvious hump.

Getting to YC or similar is a bit of a ticking time bomb and deliberately so. You aren't funding a cool lifestyle, you are building a sustainable businesd that repays the investment.
Except, from that email chain, it turns out that some of the bad code did make it into the stable branch. Clearly, they weren't keeping very close tabs on their bad code's progress through the system.
See Surface Pro X as an example of that alternate possibility.

The problem is that this is more than just a syntactic difference. There's a chance it will take two ticks to resolve instead of one.

If (when?) this new league falls through it'll be interesting to see what happens to big clubs like these that, despite all their success and big brand, might have been relying on this extra money to see them through.
What would you do, if you had a group of patch authors who you didn't trust the contributions of anymore, other than setting aside the time for someone trusted to audit all 390 commits they've had since 2014?

I don't think Google search censors anti-Google results. Not only it is likely to backfire but it is also hard work, there are millions of articles about the misdeeds by Google.
For effective censorship, one would need to first determine that the article indeed is anti-Google and then censor it in a way that doesn't damage the results (and ad revenue) too much. Google could probably pull it off but for what? Google hate drives views, and ironically, these are commonly monetized by Google itself.

Anyways, searching "artificial 2 second wait to non-AMP ads" is inconclusive. However, if you quote "non-AMP", you get the expected results. Google seems to have a peculiar way of handling dashes and the "non" in "non-AMP" seems to get lost.
And anyone without much power to effect change SOL.

I know the kernel doesn't need anyone's contributions anyhow, but as a matter of policy this seems like a bad one.
We can say they don't have a responsibility once we begin holding accountable those who do have a responsibility and yet still use Google to help fulfill that responsibility.

For example, I think we can agree that a teacher should have a moral responsibility to teach students in an unbiased manner. If that is the case and their teaching involves the use of google, then is the teacher not at risk for introducing bias and should be held responsible? Otherwise why even put the standard on the teacher if it can be done away with by outsourcing some of the work?
Unable to follow the kernel thread (stuck in an age between twitter and newsgroups, sorry), but...

did these "researchers" in any way demonstrate that they were going to come clean about what they had done before their "research" made to anywhere close to release/GA?

I see you omit the fact that regimes felled by Arab Spring were all darlings of the West, with exceptions of Libya, and Syria.

It's true however that Western policy making in regards to the "our bastards'" is a tragicomedic history of failure, after failure.

> I'm undecided if that's enough.

I don't think it's anywhere close to enough and I think their behavior is rightly considered reckless and unethical.

They should have contacted the leadership of the project to announce to maintainers that anonymous researchers may experiment on the contribution process, allowed maintainers to opt out, and worked with a separate maintainer with knowledge of the project to ensure harmful commits were tracked and reversions were applied before reaching stable branches.

Instead their lack of ethical considerations throughout this process has been disappointing and harmful to the scientific and open source communities, and go beyond the nature of the research itself by previously receiving an IRB exemption by classifying this as non-human research, and potentially misleading UMN on the subject matter and impact.
> Currently, sure. Across all time, I'd go with blue-green algae.

I knew that someone were to point this out. Yes, of course across geological timeframes at the moment we're playing second fiddle at best. But over the course of, let's say, that past 10 million years or so, I'd say, we're a firm contender for first place.
I doesn't store much history from what I can tell. If you don't have years worth of data points then having 15 times as many isn't a big deal.
As an American, not having 15 leagues with the worlds best players spread out seems like a great idea. I'd rather watch the worlds best players play each other every week than have to wait a full year for the Champions league
Fully agree, Zapatos is super nice – and so are similar tools like pgtyped and Slonik. We actually mention all these in our docs here: https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/overview/should-you-use-...

I think the main difference of these libraries compared to Prisma is the level of abstraction. If you want to work with SQL and you appreciate type-safety, then all of these tools will be fabulous options for you! If you want to work on a somewhat higher level of abstraction but still have full type-safety, Prisma will be more appropriate.
God, this comment has given me relief after 3 days of waiting someone to say this. HN delivers.

I can't believe the hypocrisy of FIFA and UEFA and how everyone is making some moral case for being against the super league, when we know how insanely corrupt fifa and uefa are. It's an absolute joke how everyone is taking the moral high ground here.
I think the point is about the need to buy money to upfront it, and have to pay to make it secure. Imagine a factory saying: you can pay on delivery if you use this currency, or you have to upfront 50% to the escrow (which you'll have to pay for it's service, and the interest if you used credit).

This second scenario you won't have your money stalled for months while paying for it.
Neat idea, but the term "serverless" is still incredibly stupid and misleading. Go ahead and run any of this stuff without a server. Go ahead. I'll wait.
100% this. As a supporter of Manchester United 35 years, I get the upset toward this Super League plan. But I, on the other hand, couldn't look away at the fact that UEFA is trying to expand Champions League participant list in 2023-2024 in ways that are questionable. This is not to mention that football (soccer) has become very mercenary in the three decades that I've been supporting.

Just look at the players' transfer fees, agent fees and weekly salaries. Where are all these money coming from to pay for such inflated expenses? In the end, it is us, the average football fans, who end up paying for all this greed (I pay $40/month in cable to get NBC sports to watch SOME of Manchester United's English Premier League games; $5/month to watch Peacock, which is owned by NBC, to watch SOME of Manchester United games in Premier League; $6 to ESPN Plus for FA cup; and finally $6/month for CBS Sports, which has now become Paramount+, to watch Manchester United in Champions League, which is what the super league is trying to supplant). These fees will only keep increasing every two years or so. Of course, I do not live in England and if I do, I might end up buying match day tickets, which could easily cost me ~$100 a game. If I buy a Manchester United jersey (not including the shorts), it costs ~$120 (it used to cost $90 ~4 years ago when I last bought one).

So yeah, it's greed all around (after all, we live in a capitalistic society) and UEFA doesn't have much to hold itself over the super league group to taut its virtues in my opinion.
Thanks for the writeup. Terraform has only ever worked against me, and hadn't heard of Pulimi until now.

Will have to look into it now.
Many private corporations creates a bottleneck and then squeeze it of value and gets money that way. They don't go under, they thrive since people have no options but go through that bottleneck. Using democratic votes to decide when to stop companies from doing that makes perfect sense.
The suggestion about the IRB was made by a third party. Look at the follow up comment from kernel developer Leon Romanovsky.

> ... we don't need to do all the above and waste our time to fill some bureaucratic forms with unclear timelines and results. Our solution to ignore all @umn.edu contributions is much more reliable to us who are suffering from these researchers.
That's fair.

The American franchise model has a lot of advantages (or it would not be so popular) - steady income stream, revenue sharing, lower player acquisition costs.

But I also think the average European soccer fan thinks that the current status quo is bad, and introducing measures to increase the concentration of power and money is to be decried.

'The Daily Mail' has a case. Go and visit their site right now [1] and tell me where the inflammatory or irresponsible headline is.

Now try 'The Daily Beast' [2], it's I think a little bit worse, and you have this flame-nugget: "White Violence Links Black Lives From Emmett Till to Floyd" which is an interesting thesis, but kind of racist.

The DM really isn't that bad, and much like the issue of 'Fidel Castro' it's a litmus test to see if people are emotionally clouded ideologues or not.

DM is a regular tabloid, that's it.

> From a very amateur perspective, it looked like Gil Kalai was arguing that physical realizations would not be impossible, but work at UIST and Google's "quantum supremacy" result, somehow have proved him wrong ?

I assume you meant "would be impossible"? At any rate, from my slightly less amateurish understanding of the subject, I think that the main contrast between Kalai's claims and Google's results boils down to the following:

- broadly speaking, Kalai is referring to pure quantum computation, more specifically he is computing limits about the efficiency and energy requirements of computers that work exclusively using quantum/linear logic;

- Google's experiment made extensive use of classical computation, and it's unclear to what extent quantum computation actually impacted the result (to the point that some people claim that the entire experiment could be performed classically, see e.g. [1])

Unfortunately, many of the nuances in the debate are lost on me--in the past, I had some forays into the physics and mathematics of QC but was ultimately driven away from the dumb money flowing around--but I would recommend Gil Kalai's blog [2] as it is both accessible and rigorous (albeit being obviously biased toward one side of the argument).

Seconding this. However I do appreciate the chicken-and-egg problem donors have here as they can get tricked into throwing money at a non-sustainable project if it's not already on steady-enough-legs to cover the non-sexy things that need money to operate. They might not be able to tell how much follow-through the organization really has or if it's just all fluff that will waste a bunch of their donated funds if the project goes under prematurely.

But it's so frustrating to get a non-profit started and need funds to move forwards with the mission but donors don't want to fund the critical stuff like utilities. But hey, they still "love your mission". I also appreciate they usually want to make single donations rather than letting an organization get hooked on a steady stream of donations, it helps keep the org from getting stagnate. And segregating restricted and non-restricted funds is an extra chore on the already taxed treasurer has to look forward too.
What is the business model for them? It seems that an ORM in and of itself is not sustainable, especially one that is free.
The market is only as free as society decides. Regardless of current legality if society decides something is immortal eventually it'll be regulated.
There are two different kinds of trust: trust that you're a legitimate person with good intentions, and trust that you're competent.

A university or corporate e-mail address helps with the former: even if the individual doesn't put their real name into their email address, the institution still maintains that mapping. The possibility of professional, legal, or social consequences attaching to your real-world identity (as is likely to happen here) is a generally-effective deterrent.
I do a lot of Python on my M1 and now that NumPy compiles correctly, I have no complaints. Docker also works fine presuming your base image has a ARM version (I haven’t tried their x86 emulation, but presumptively it’s slow since it can’t use Apple’s Rosetta speedup).

It was bumpy until March or so, but now I really really like it for Python.
I think some of them would like to see Tom Brady play for Tampa Bay, especially after winning the Super Bowl. About five years ago his old team the patriots played in Mexico City’s arena to 75,000 people and it was a huge hit. This is in a country which has its own strong soccer culture.

An hour or 2 later the child becomes sick and the parent doesn't understand why. They don't know they swallowed a battery, they didn't even know it existed. Medical professionals just assume its a fever. You cant see the button unless X-rays are taken and by that time that the injuries can be severe.

you haven't read the whitepaper yet: https://github.com/zhuowei/nft_ptr/blob/main/white_paper.pdf
The CBA gives owners 52% of football related money and players 48%. So, no, the majority of the money does not go to players.

And the way football related is defined is fairly narrow, so some obvious revenue sources (suite upgrades, parking, etc) do not fall under football related and therefore goes to the owners.

Further, the vast majority of wealth the owners make is through the rapidly increasing value of their teams.

At the end of the day the income is peanuts compared to the wealth and asset value appreciation that is generated by the teams.

This seems like another odd definition of "exactly once". The underlying assumption appears to be that all you work is happening insides the sql transaction, so all the work the consumer does is safe and can be rolled back if a failure happens. Many systems are going to be doing at least some work that can't be easily rolled back by a transaction (e.g. calling an external API). In this more interesting world, you really can't get exactly once since we already did something outside of our transaction.

In my experience, it's easier to reason about and build systems when idempotency is an application level concern. For example take a bank that has some messaging system to update account balances. While a exactly once system, if designed perfectly, might achieve this, you could also achieve this by building an idempotent "update balance" system. With application level idempotency, you have more flexibility to later add different paths or technologies without as many re-write headaches.

Also -- the messages per day stat seems irrelevant. I've yet to encounter many real world systems that don't have irregular bursty patterns. With this slow processing rate, you could basically have a single large burst and then normal traffic, but be unable to return to realtime latency for hours/days.

Not really. You can't introduce bugs like this into my companies code base because the code is protected from random people on the internet accessing it. So your first step would be to find an exploitable bug in github, but then you are bypassing peer review as well to get in.
