> If you share or publish Python scripts they have to be made available compliant to the GNU GPL as well, if they use Blender Python API calls.

Is it actually possible to put constraints on scripts that make calls to an API like this?
This is a very wise observation. The most important things are always the ones we think are so obvious that we don't mention them.
Why would Apple do any of this? Their ultimate goal is to drive user engagement and increase revenue, which is interrupted when they have to remind users to stop using their platform.
What prevents forks of chromium from sharing amongst each other? I don't think google can gatekeep to the extent you seem to be implying. I'm pretty sure Brave and Opera and MS Edge can share changes they've made amongst each other without going through the original repository first.
Because it creates a web that is not meant to work following a standard but to work on only one engine.

What this means is that this engine becomes the de facto standard of the web and this standard is controlled by the main contributor of the engine.

Every browser is now constrained by Google's own decision about what should the web be. Sure, they could technically disagree by forking WebKit/Blink, but since websites are made to work with Blink, a disagreement means being incompatible with such websites.
Likewise, I find that home composting claims for most man made materials are claptrap as they require industrial operations with grind prep and high heat before they actually break down. Think mechanical digestors, not compost piles.
I didn't suggest that MoviePass functioned like insurance, only that it's not really an unusual concept. It's just clearly not workable as you point out.
That's not realistic at all. Programmers are often times "in the zone" and having to craft perfect messages while you're rushing on to the next problem is killing productivity.

Compromises with human nature must be made. Hence -- we need to be able to rewrite history.

Your academic purism is out of place, dude. Real humans don't work like you say they do. Some do -- most don't.
I think if it plummeted to fractions of a dollar it would be considered a failure. Especially if they spent millions on something now worth a few dollars.
Also the HTTP API URL isn't deterministic because a) the operator sets it for any given node, and b) over the lifetime of the cluster the entire set of nodes could change as nodes fail, are replaced, etc.
wow, I hadn't researched in a while, but that looks sketchy. I purchased one that cheap some time around 2011 and the company ended up having certs revoked and went out of business, and the next best thing I found was digicert at a fraction of the cost of the comodo and the like.

they do have EV for $350/annual or $750/3 year cert so I might try that it is certainly cheaper than digicert.

and yes EV is good for more than drivers, it allows EXEs to bypass smartscreen prompts that would otherwise trigger on standard certs that have to go through reputation checks in smartscreen.

"Memory model" is a term with a lot of different, but partially overlapping, meanings. The one being used in the article only concerns the logical arrangement of data, not rules about ownership and life span.

For the purposes of this article, Rust's memory model is no different from that of Haskell or C++: mostly what the article dubs the "lisp memory model", with some excursions into things like the magnetic tape memory model.

It's worth being pedantic here because, if you don't recognize what TFA means by "memory model", you're maybe not well positioned to recognize the deeper insight about computing that it's trying to present.
I like the idea, and the industry continues to screw over developers, but there would be practical problems to a royalty plan.

Companies don't pay once for software, they hire a software team to maintain the code.

How would the royalties work? Do they all go to the person who first wrote the code? Based on the git blame of every line, so devs are always looking to rewrite as much as possible?
Pretty sure we need to look under the ocean for him. Maybe the old ones set up some Shoggoth on the north pole as well as the south?
Yes, I can't pwn this device which makes it incredibly hard for anyone else to pwn this device. Very convenient actually, in that my most critical and private communications flow through it and it goes everywhere I do.

Really secure data goes through a seperate device of which I have total control, but which I treat carefully (and less conveniently). It's a very comfortable trade-off.
Even with all this 'trivial literature review', there still remains the possibility three fish might have randomly walked [or non-randomly walked] into the same solution with the same local maximum, which couldn't be distinguished from lateral transfer just by looking at the protein structure.

"A doesn't always happen this way" isn't evidence, at all, for B happening. Your logic is faulty.

Thank you for appreciating my sense of humour. As someone who has worked in a genomics lab, I think coding analogies are perfectly fine. The analogy is not in error.
They are claiming the exact opposite of that: not having root access isn't a limit on creativity.
>At what cluster size and concurrency does asking every node break down?

None, a follower only needs to ask the leader. So regardless of the size of the cluster, in 6.0 querying a follower only introduces a single hop to the leader before responding to the client. While this hop was not required in earlier versions, earlier versions had to maintain state -- and stateful systems are generally more prone to bugs.

I recently switched from Android to iOS and it irritates me that Apple push their own product multiple times a week. It might be because my account is new but at least once a week I get notifications of the free year of apple tv and apple arcade without any way to disable this (if you guys know of one please respond)

Besides the notifications I think it's a dark pattern from Apple to actually show a red number badge above the settings app when there is no actionable item except the two things mentioned above.

These are early adopter products that are, for some good reasons, expressly aimed at a fairly small subset of wealthy and technologically inclined people.

Problem is, the truth of the matter varies a lot by country, region, city, precinct and by the people themselves.

There are police departments out there that are a valued contributor to the community, and there are some departments that seem to exist wholly to extract money and pain from the citizenry.

One bad apple spoils the bunch, unfortunately.

I think an order of magnitude (or three) increase in independent accountability of police across the board is the only way you'll see the trust start to rebuild, but certain organizations seem dead set against letting that ever happen.
One of my favorite quotes. The moment of cognitive dissonance that it causes (especially in professional scientists), is truly excellent.
How are the cops going to catch someone in Russia, China, Iran, NK, or any of the other countries who turn a blind eye to cyber crime schemes? I doubt they will even be able to find a single person to arrest much less a real identity.

Drugs are right there in front of the cops most of the time.
I wouldn't expect network costs to go to zero. If computing gets distributed we'll only get more bandwidth usage - especially in P2P gossiping situations. Having a few services using that will add non-trivial load to existing infrastructure which really likes the existing CDN pop solution.

I'm not sure if I'm missing your comparison, but an accountant doesn't calculate how much/which tax should be paid in real-time based on the business and the user's location and then automatically account for that.

I don't know how much it's worth, but properly supporting tax takes a lot of effort to do correctly in real-time.
As someone with a non Tesla car with some smart cruise control features, I think you’re being too harsh on Tesla.

I have a 2020 Hyundai, and there has been no major refresh in the 2021 or 2022 models of the same car. But the software features have each gotten slightly better. The cruise control will only slow down and stop you on my model, but on the newer model, it will stop and then start going again. My model will sometimes correct the steering at the last minute if I start veering outside the lane, the newer model will more gradually keep you centered in the lane so you don’t even start to veer out. Pretty minor stuff like that.

There’s no way the hardware on my car is the limiting factor, but I will never get any of these improvements. Tesla is still the only car maker to decide that car software can be treated like almost any other software people use, and actually updated independently of the hardware.

Even if the 10k self driving charge is a little too ambitious, in my opinion Tesla are still miles ahead of all the other major brands in user-friendly practices.

It’s always interesting that people get so used to the status quo even if it’s actually inefficient or wasteful or arbitrarily worse than it easily could be. But if a company does something ambitious and new, but it has some downsides like a higher cost in the beginning, those downsides get judged so much more harshly than the downsides of the status quo.

Because if Google decide to make a user hostile change to the engine (Chromium), because everyone consolidated on one engine, now there will be no alternative. The only recourse would be to maintain patchsets or forks, which could be increasingly infeasible from an architectural standpoint, especially from smaller authors.

One way or another, browsers are heading towards engine homogeny (or hegemony), but Firefox and Safari are at least slowing this process down to some extent.
That's a good interview, kind of like the early interviews with Gates when his enthusiasm for the tech was really shining through. Its great to hear Bezos talk about creating value for the customer, something that I feel is to a degree lacking in some of the bigger startups we see these days.
MemStream detects anomalies from a multi-aspect data stream and outputs an anomaly score for each record. MemStream is a memory augmented feature extractor, allows for quick retraining, gives a theoretical bound on the memory size for effective drift handling, is robust to memory poisoning, and outperforms 11 streaming anomaly detection baselines.

The short answer is "next to nothing" especially for tech salaries. I did a generic search and questionnaire to see what actual quotes were. For a 35 year old non-smoker male in my zip code, with an office job, $84/mo gets $6400/mo in benefits if I become totally disabled. There's a ton of caveats (90 day waiting period, 10 year term benefit, medical exam etc) as with any insurance product. You can get partial disability insurance as well (this is total only).
How does that work when the amount of the tax depends on the location? Do your visitors need to enter their billing & shipping information before they can browse your site?
Really? I created two GI's and it wasn't very hard and was actually quite fun. Training them is a bit of a pain though. I'm willing to bet that based on total calories consumed they are amazingly efficient compared to their hypothetical AGI counterparts.
agreed with all the of the above - but also to add... get them to do something on their computer... this way you can see how well they know their tools... e.g. can they type on a keyboard... navigate etc... tells you a lot without asking...
I find it really interesting that when Richard Feynman did a sabbatical at Thinking Machines when they were developing the early parallel execution hardware that's really not worlds away from modern GPUs he got them in touch with one of the leading neural network theorists as an obvious use for the tech. When he wasn't fixing their hardware designs using systems of differential equations.

It would be an interesting thing to know more about.

The downside is of course that Stripe takes over more and more of your important infrastructure. A question should always be how to include several suppliers and/or how to change supplier in order not to put all in your eggs in a single basket.
> If you invoice $100k in a year, you're paying $4000 to Stripe to manage your sales tax.

The pricing on the page says 0.4% - that's $400/year not $4,000

> Now, if you're making $1 million a year, that's $40k
It's $4,000 by the above.

> compared to a few thousand you'll pay your accounting firm to do it.

It's not _just_ the money you pay the accountant to do it once, you need to get all of the data about where the customer is purchasing from to your accountant in a format they can use. Also, depending on your accountant, international sales tax is unlikely to be their forté - they might handle different states, but can they handle the varying rules in EU countries?

Now imagine that setup with a bad tech lead who didn't know what they were doing. No oversight, no control, no feedback, no communicated goals to keep people accountable, etc.

Happily, the paper does not only do that! Too, there are several comments peripheral to this thread which discuss the paper's findings outside the proteome.

Far be it from me to suggest that anyone in a Hacker News thread has failed to do even the most basic of reading in a field outside their own, but I will say that the paper is linked in one of my earlier comments, should you perhaps like to renew your acquaintance with its contents.
In Sweden every single ISP I've used in the last 10+ years have had CG-NAT, I absolutely hate it because it stops me from self-hosting, but on the upside if the app/website is only using my IP-adress to track my location then I am apparently in one of the largest cities in Sweden, that is also 2+ hours away from me. However, most apps don't only use IP-addresses so it really doesn't balance out.

For you that don't live in small countries being 2 hours away in Sweden means you have to pass several other independent cities on your way there.

IMHO they must revoke them because when they sign incorrect data it would affect their reputation.
So did you know about the paper in question and if so how convinced are you of the claims/evidence in this specific case?
Nope, if you have $100k transactions in a year, it will be $100,000 * 0.005 = $500 not $4,000 (And 0.4% is when you make more than $50,000 in a month)

I too made the mistake of doing amount*0.05 when they provided me the pricing in beta.

This is why I went with them, if I can't do a simple percentage computation I'd rather not do the taxes myself.

And if you're making $1M a year, it will then be $4,000. And I guess that's still cheaper than having your accountant going through all your Stripe documents, computing taxes while also, on your side, having to make sure you're 100% tax compliant. Maybe at $10,000,000 it will start being a bit pricey, but at that point you'll most probably discuss with Stripe to reduce that fee.
For those of you wondering at home:
Playwright for .NET is the official language port of Playwright, a Node.js based library to automate Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API.
The new additional transaction fee for Stripe Billing is awkward. They charge an extra 0.5%, which is fine, but it always comes out as a separate transaction instead of being added on top of their regular transaction fee. Sometimes it gets withdrawn from your balance after they've already deposited your earnings, leading them to make a withdrawal from the bank.

Not a huge deal, and I still love Stripe!

>> You'll notice they say - we don't have enough data. Then data is incomplete. Then we can't really say because study was X / Y / Z.

This is a weird trend these days. Medical science refuses to take an engineering approach to anything and only accepts statements based on controlled studies. That includes rejecting previous understanding of how immunity works in general. Early on when claims were made about HCQ, Zinc, or whatever, they were shot down as "not approved treatment" even though there were no approved treatments! The utter failure to recommend vitamin D supplements is another failure - we know deficiency weakens immune response, we know most (Americans) are deficient in the winter, it's a no-brainer but in their mind it was not "proven" so not even mentioned or recommended for anyone.

The only pattern I see considering all cases like that is the underlying notion that people must not do anything for themselves.
I have no clue if that's the case hence I am not blaming only the browser or only the extensions. It's most likely a combination of both.

But the fact remains that I installed 100% the same set of extensions on Chrome and it loads pages at least 2X faster.

I might be a programmer, I might care about putting a rod in Google's giant personal-info-gathering machine, and all that good stuff that makes us feel we're making a difference in the world -- but when 1/3 of all my pages load more slowly in Firefox, I can tolerate this only for so long.

So I don't really know which factor is the real page load speed detractor. I just wish the Firefox team fixes it.
I have my banking/credit card apps push notifications every time a transaction occurs (transfers, deposits, withdrawals).

Sure, 99% of them are expected, but it's nice to confirm deposits from my employer were on time, automated payments triggered as planned, etc. Plus, it catches anything nefarious (we had one card hacked a few years ago).

My credit cards also send reminders when payments are scheduled or due (1-2 are set to autopay, but 1-2 are manual pay).

Edit - none of my banks send junk notices. And most of them are configurable for which notices I want, with $ thresholds as well.

Then make sure developers are deeply aware of all the concerns you listed. A large part of why developers think they are the center of the world is because they are meticulously isolated from said world. This is exactly what the article addresses as one of the main concerns.
