I use my laptop as a portable desktop and plug it in where I'm going. I have zero use case for a laptop that isn't plugged in.
Leaving that RAM for ZFS L2 ARC perhaps? I don't think they would use Illumos as the hypervisor OS without also using OpenZFS with it. They also need some for management, the control UI, a DB for metrics and more.

Btw. if I count correctly, they have 20 SSD slots per node (if a node is full width) and 16 nodes. They would need 2 TB to reach 1 PB of "raw" capacity with the obvious redundancy overhead of ~ 20%.

It is also quite possible, they don't use ZFS at all and use e.g. Ceph or something like it but I don't think that is the case, because that wouldn't be cantrillian. :-) E.g. using Minio, they can provide something S3 like on top of a cluster of ZFS storage nodes too but they most likely get better latency with local ZFS and not a distributed filesystem. Financial institutions especially seem to be part of the target here and there latency can be king.
No need for 'Fork' or having a 3rd party tool. Git log does half the job and Gitk the the other half if you need a GUI to visualize your branches.

I'm always amazed by the tools surrounding Git so much more complexity than what we need.
Magsafe were the perfect connectors, but it was a huge shame that Apple botched the cables attached to those connectors. I went through three of them in three years; they yellow within months then start to fall apart. But worse than the cables were the fanboys who were always eager to blame me for the cables failing. I've never had such problems with cables before or since. Despite liking the connector itself, I am glad to see these gone.
Those topics are still too generalized which tends to indicate the sub has a lot of casual and beginner members. Larger communities also mean they’re a target for low quality/repost material that accounts can use to significantly increase karma in a short amount of time.

Could be "U.S. a top audience for sock puppets"

You can't effectively suppress sock puppets without confirming identities in some way, but the loss of anonymity in a forum is a big bug. Maybe there's a low trust way to link accounts to individuals while keeping their identities private. But that seems like a hard social problem to solve.

A charge for registration could raise the cost of a puppet show and limit the size of the problem. But it also seriously limits the onboarding rate of the platform. And it would amplify the message of a well funded influence op.
In the context of this article - opentelemetry is for performance tracing on the backend. The call to the endpoint would already end up in access logs, and this would just give more detailed performance metrics on queries and function calls.
What are some practical uses for an algorithm like that?
Could one reimplement SSI at the OS layer, similar to existing distributed OS's? Distributed shared memory is usually dismissed because of the overhead involved in typical scenarios, but this kind of hardware platform might make it feasible.

I wonder what sort of enterprise customers this targets.. (definitely not for individual devs)
Well, the reality is that WYSIWYG editing of all sorts is object oriented. You first select the object and then the action.

So it’s not clear whether being more comfortable with selecting an object and then performing an action on it is innately easier for humans, or just what we’ve been conditioned to from using word processors, spreadsheets, or even GUI based file explorers.

But if you look at command line usage, it’s the opposite. Every command first requires you to stare the command, and then the object to act on.

I first type cd and then the folder I want to change directory to, compared to selecting the folder and then hitting enter/CMD+O/double clicking ont he GUI.

But people who have used both the GUI and CMD line rarely ever find the order of operation to be a concern for them, so I suspect the object-verb verb-object difference in vim is just a matter of convenience.
This comment reminds me of the classic
"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software."
CPUs are a chump's game, and it's no surprise that Apple, the company with sole access to next-generation silicon, was able to reach last-generation performance on a laptop chip. Nobody freaked out when AMD's Ryzen 7 4800u hit 4ghz over 8 cores, I don't see a reason why I should freak out now when Apple's doing it with 10 less watts.

Plus, that's only the CPU side of things. The M1's GPU is annihilated by most GPUs in it's class... from 2014. Fast forwards to 2021, and it's graphics performance is honestly pathetic. Remember our friend the 4800u? It's integrated GPU is able to beat the M1's GPU in raw benchmarks, and it came out 18 months before it.

So yeah, I think there are a lot of workloads where the M1 is a pretty crappy CPU. Unless your workload is CPU-bound, there's not really much of a reason to own one. And even still, the M1 doesn't guarantee compatibility with legacy software. It doesn't have a functional hypervisor, and it has lower IO bandwidth than most CPUs from a decade ago. Not really something I'd consider viable as a "daily driver", at least for my workload.

Users/rooms on the gentoo.org server can interact just fine with users/rooms on the matrix.org server. That's basically the whole point of Matrix.

You may be suggesting that matrix.org could, for example, block access to the gentoo.org server (or a subset of its rooms). In that scenario users could choose a new homeserver (and not necessarily the same one) in order to regain access, instead of the entire channel having to migrate.

In the incredibly unlikely event where every homeserver on the internet is blocking gentoo.org, gentoo.org could simply allow user registration.

With IRC you are forced to trust the network operator with both your account and channel. Matrix gives you the option to trust someone else with both, neither, or either.

Well first of all it wasn't the original commenter who made that statement, then they said that some things are banned because the negative externalities outweigh their benefits, though they didn't specifically make any argument as to why cryptocurrencies are one of them and in fact chose poor examples where the ill effects are not externalities at all but the intended function of those banned things (which incidentally is where I entered the conversation to contest), and finally in context we're talking not just about cryptocurrencies at this very moment, but also the costs of losing all benefits of the underlying technology, which includes benefits currently being worked on and those not yet imagined.

But that all being said, the ability to trustlessly transmit value is, in my opinion, already more beneficial than any negative externality associated with any cryptocurrency. Indeed, the very reason that criminal enterprise has adopted cryptocurrency rather than just bartering illicit materials is specifically because the technology is useful for so much more. I for one would much prefer two consenting adults to exchange drugs directly rather than going through an organization with advanced money laundering operations which undoubtedly begets more frequent and more violent crime. All those complaints crypto-fanatics have about legitimate financial institutions apply just as much if not significantly more to illegitimate ones.

But while I believe that to be true, that's not a hill I'm willing to die on. Getting back to the conversation at hand, my point was that, unlike human trafficking or pedophilia which are evils unto themselves and should be banned even if they produce the occasional beneficial byproduct, technologies like cryptocurrencies or the internet are tools which are not inherently bad and which we all use despite the capacity for abuse. Using a baseball bat to break kneecaps does not make baseball bats evil, and the idea that baseball should be banned to prevent the misuse of baseball bats ought to be considered absurd. Trying to regulate something which is at most a loose proxy for the problem you actually want solved leads to numerous problems in practice [0], but it is also wrong in principle to freedom and prosperity to the many because you are incapable of dealing with the abuses of the few.

Even Sam Altman considers his own company to be a failure - you fail to mention they basically sold for as much as they raised so it wasn't a success for most (if any) investors.

Also I don't think Sam proved YC can scale, in fact I think it's the opposite and we just haven't had enough time to watch it play out. I certainly hold YC in lower regard than I used to, and I'm a YC alum (alternate account).

He is a successful investor, I can't deny that. But he hasn't proven anything with OpenAI yet. And I think anybody that actually followed OpenAI from the beginning is really disappointed in how "open" it really is. The fact that you point to fundraising as proof of success is so bizarre. By that logic WeWork should be your favorite company of the last decade.
This is a fun idea. I thought of a slightly different spin. Combine what Million Short does with search results (omits the top million results to help find things beyond the usual top results) with Reddit.

It seems that, in the majority of cases, we are left with trust at the end of the day. They might say "we will never do X" but if someone buys them, then the "we" becomes something different, and the new company is free to do whatever. With github, it's that paragon of good behaviour Microsoft that controls things.

These promises need to be written down in the articles of association in a company, and I have never seen this.
You can! Many years ago I took a desktop machine (minus monitor, keyboard, etc as my friends already had spares of these at the destination) on not one but two flights (going there there and the going back back). Surprisingly the people checking in my bag didn't seem to surprised--the only unusual thing was that they asked me to sign a declaration that the airline wouldn't be responsible for any damage. The bag tag went all around the machine (I didn't have the original box so I took a gamble to see if the airline would accept the machine itself) and off it went on the belt at departure. And on arrival it came on the carousel with all the other bags. It worked fine after both trips. All so I could join a gaming session with my friends in another city! Though it should be said I can see why it might be more tricky once you factor in a monitor and other things. And I probably wouldn't do it again now I have a laptop that can run some pretty decent games--but yes good memories... :)

The other day I was helping my brother setup Python on his Windows 10 computer. So I went to python.org and installed it as usual, then why I typed "python" in the console, it launched the Microsoft Store app and took me to the download page for their distribution of Python.

Apparently, it's some kind of alias "feature" they added to Windows at some point. What legitimate reason is there for that if not to try and trick people into thinking they need to download the Microsoft Store version of Python (which probably includes analytics/telemetry not in a standard Python distribution)?

Google, Apple, etc are all shameless, anti-competitive monopolists. Anyone can see that because they make no attempts to hide what they're doing. Microsoft's intentions are exactly the same, but they're a lot sneakier about it because they've already been burned in the past for their bad behavior.

People who think the new Microsoft is different! because they released a free text editor and other open source projects are naive. Microsoft wants to lock you into their platforms and technologies like Apple, and wants to collect and monetize your personal data like Google.

Uber to allow UK drivers to unionise in global first
This is what makes subreddits such a good idea IMO. Theoretically Reddit can be a massive community, while each subreddit can still remain niche. Then people can be connected to others across a number of topics without "polluting" spaces they are not interested in.

Of course if you are interested in discussing a broad or popular topic like politics or the NBA, you will probably have to actually just find a smaller group to get higher quality discussion. There's not really a way around the inflation issue in those subreddits, as far as I can tell.

The other problem is that Reddit seems to increasingly emphasize the generic popular subreddits in its UI and how the site is marketed/presented. There are still good, active subreddits for certain hobbies and communities, but I do worry that the more Reddit is viewed as just another large social media site, the fewer such subreddits there will be.

I dislike it because it’s really slow to do everything. Even printing help text is slow.

Contrast with pacman on Arch, which is incredibly fast at nearly every operation.

Unfortunately I’ve found all the package managers for macOS to be lacking.

brew is slow, but has packages for most things and generally up to date.

fink packages seem a bit out dated last I checked. At least the ones I cared about.

MacPorts is also slow and somewhat out of date.

pkgsrc doesn’t have Apple M1 binary packages available yet.

I haven’t tried Nix.

Sometimes I’m tempted to try my hand at writing my own package manager for macOS, but getting a critical mass of packaged software seems quite hard.

Means you don’t need a plugin. Which is apparently a big deal to some people. Maybe the don’t know how to install plugins...
I think Archlinux's PKGBUILDs can do that (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Creating_packages#Creating_...):

- With both the community-maintained packages and the AUR packages, you can already find almost any binary that already exists

- If it doesn't exist, or if you need particular options/architectures, a PKGBUILD is basically a glorified Makefile with standard steps, so you can for example get binaries from a http source and use them directly, or pass exotic compilation flags during the build() phase

- It is of course possible to put dependencies inside a given package

- preparing a package is entirely done by your user, no need for root right. Inside the package you put your files in a fake root, and when the package is done you apply the package to your real fs. By default it is installed under /, so of course you need root rights, but you can install it under any root you desire. This is actually what's done when installing Arch: it basically runs pacman (the package manager) but instead of installing packages in the live environment's root, it installs packages in the mounted filesystem that will become your root after rebooting.

Better to have specialised tools for whatever they are good at than a tool that's isn't good at any, and you have to spend time cmolding it to be a pale imitation of specialised tools.

Outposts seem like a solution to the problem, "for regulatory or compliance reasons we are required for data to reside and be processed within a physical space we control." For that problem, an organization that is otherwise on AWS might find Outposts to be appealing. I can imagine an engineering team's response to such a requirement as "Oh yeah? Fine, its but its going to cost you $600k per year per rack!".

I believe Oxide is attempting to capture a much broader market than that.

Power footprint also confirms that the compute density is pretty low.

We built a few racks of Supermicro AMD servers (4 X computes in 2U), and we load tested it to 23kva peak usage (about 1/2 full with nthat type of nodes only, our DC would let us go further)

Were also over 1 PB of disks (unclear how much of this is redundancy), also in NVMe (15.36 TB x 24 in 2U is a lot of storage...)

Other then that not a bad concept, not sure of a premium they will charge or what will be comparable on price.

And the question I have asked is where is the evidence that such small quantities are a risk? The UK links I have posted suggest otherwise. This is why I am asking.

This is what they're effectively doing, in practice. AAPL has conducted ~$500B in share buybacks since the commencement of their buyback program in 2013. Their current cash and cash equivalents sits at ~$200B.

So, one could say that of the $700B AAPl could have returned to shareholders, it returned $500B (or most of it).
It sure looks pretty, but appears to be -

- dedicated to virtualization, done their way

- rather inflexible in hardware specs

- vendor-locked at the rack - if you have hardware from someone else, it can't live in the same cabinet

I guess if you just want a pretty data center in a box and look like what they consider a 'normal' enterprise to be, it might appeal. But I'm not sure how many people asked for Apple-style hardware in the DC.
it's better than that, actually, as an AWS vCPU is a hyperthread, not a full core, and these would have 4096 hyperthreads.
