>Leaving a comment is a commitment to a conversation

This depends on the content of the comment. Some are more obviously asking for a back-and-forth and some are not. Just because you replied to a comment of the latter type doesn't mean the author is obligated to notice and take the time to give an opinion on what you wrote.

>it's rude to just shout something and then leave

Sure, but how do you define "shout something" and "leave" in this context? Most comments are not tantamount to just "shouting something", and surely there is some threshold of time passing and/or the quality of content where neglecting a reply no longer counts as "leaving".
I didn't think they were using containerd; this phrase made me think that:

I'm definitely not a lawyer/expert on this, even less about Germany specifically, but isn't actual financial damage required for financial compensation? While Stockfish might have suffered damage from ChessBase's behavior, if it can't be clearly specified as monetary damage, I don't really see how they could make money from this.

On the other hand, if ChessBase is found (and ruled) to have distributed software illegally, the company and its executives might have another problem. I don't know the specifics of German law, but I believe that distributing software (or any product) illegally is actually a criminal offense (no longer a civil dispute). That could (theoretically/eventually) lead to criminal prosecution and who knows .. jail time?

But aren’t these “informations” just representations of (something abstract) reflected in a bunch of quantum states of your neurons? And we humans decide there are homomorphisms between mine and yours and thus they are representing the “same informations”. But really they were fundamentally different. There are no copying. Only some kind of lossy compression mimicking.

Yes. NTFS filesystem performance when accessing many small files rapidly is slow. It's an NTFS limitation, not any specific version of Windows.

I believe it is caused by some per-file overhead that NTFS incurs, though I'm not 100% sure.
I did as you requested. Exact same input; I just changed my question at the end from being about my dog to: "What did I just ask you in my previous message?"

The response:

>> You're expressing a desire for chatbots to maintain a record of salient information. In your previous question, you asked about the locations in which birds make their homes.

Which, if you check, is exactly correct. I think that the AI Dungeon version has a lot on its mind.

Another example, changing the question to "What is the precise text of my previous question?"

>> You're saying you wish chatbots could remember what you just said. The text of your last question was: Where do birds make their homes?
The only reason I'm posting on HN right now is because I dared to right-click a folder on a network share.

I worked at MSFT for eight years as a full-time, Flavorade-guzzling employee, and fifteen years later rarely a day goes by that I don't question how Microsoft manages to get anyone to buy that steaming pile they call an operating system.

I used to work for a large health insurer(Blue Cross Blue Shield, in a southwestern state), and monopolistic trappings were all around us. A good example was our board was occupied by members who also held board seats at local [large] hospitals(Baptist / Methodist / Childrens), and vice versa. Often in the board minutes, phrases like "fix up the market" and "stitch up the market" were used. Other topics frequently discussed were how the 85/15 rule[1] ate into profit margins of both institutions, and what could be done about it. The common fix to 85/15 rule problems were inflating the cost of basic procedures, so the 15% of the 85/15 rule was a larger value.

[1]: 85/15 rule is part of the ACA mandating that 85% of dollars taken in by an insurance provider must be paid to actual claims. The remaining 15% was the maximum gross profit an insurer could take in(before overhead and all expenses).
It could be a feature flag, like `use strict`, but `use types` instead
For distributing it, making copies of it, and violating contacts, definitely. For using a program already on a computer with no click through contract that you agree to to run it (or other contractual obligation), I'm not aware of any cases.

That they can sue is a non statement, you can sue for anything, but I don't believe it is obviously (or even likely) copyright infringement...
No idea what's with the sqlite articles making the front page every other day. This one is pretty old as well.

To be fair, most non-technical users have no clue what FTP is. Twenty years ago, some non-technical people knew, because a lot of downloading was going on involving FTP servers, but that was... well, twenty years ago.

I do not see the benefit of removing FTP. For security concerns, a big warning as with expired TLS certificates would be an acceptable compromise, IMHO.

But as someone who knows what FTP is and still uses it on occasion, I don't think FF dropping FTP support is going to impact me very much.
I do see a bit of improvement. CVS starts out at $15/hr. I have a feeling that is only in certain zip codes?

Kroger decided to close a store because it didn't want to pay a covid front line temporary increase of $4/hr.

I don't see a big increase in wages, and I work a lot of lousy jobs.

If job conditions were a bit better, a lot of employees will stay at a low paying job because they actually like their fellow employees, and sometimes the job.

I don't know why being nice/respectful is so out of fashion in corporate america?

I grocery shop at Safeway, and The Nugget markets. Safeway employees hate their job. They even have a hard time retaining new immigrants. When I shop at Safeway, I sometimes need to move to another line if I feel the checker is having a bad day. (I overheard an employee state a manager wanted him at a store 70 miles away at 5 am the next day, and he told that manager he didn't have transportation other than the bus. I wanted to grab the phone and lay into that "Manager".)

As opposed to The Nugget, which is notated as one of the best 100 places to work. It's like going back to the fifties. The employees are nice. It might be they hire people whom will have better jobs one day?

Anyways, it's not just about wage. I have had lousy low paid jobs I liked, and well paid union jobs I despise.
No - that's a shitty USB to NVMe bridge repackaged as a hat for it. It's just pretending.

>conditions then the problem isn't the stipend, is it?

It's laughable to make that comparison when the "survival stipend" is money for doing nothing. I'm not sure how any private enterprise can compete with that.

My requirements: it has to be online and open to anyone from anywhere (have a 3rd world country passport and live between France and my home country), and has to be recognized by north America and EU.

Issue is that the only reason this slave wage class exists in food services is because of a coordinated lobbying campaign to influence politicians to keep it like that. Most people in this thread would be pretty upset if all tech companies got together tomorrow and decided to artificially cap salaries and bought politicians to enforce it.
Here's a decent explanation:

https://www.radartutorial.eu/01.basics/Doppler%20Dilemma.en....
Food is expensive enough as it is, if restaurant prices went up 20% overnight I would never go to one again. Tipping is irrelevant for fast food.
The healthcare sector should be using secure technologies like TLS/HTTPS. If anything that's an argument for this change, since misuse of FTP remains rampant.

After a year of piety, it's possibly just "moral licensing." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-licensing)

I can't remember the other term, but there is a related concept where we do things like separate our recycling, then fly private. Someone with a job helping other people becomes an abusive disaster at home. Or the classic relationship anti-pattern of partner who "does things for you, and now you owe them," (covert contract?) It's related to indulgences and self-licensing, and there is a calculation where we decide our past or even current good behaviour justifies poor behaviour now because we have an imaginary idea that we are somehow bargaining with the universe and it owes us something. (It doesn't care.) It's not the universe, it's your mother, and people are rude because they are caught in a psychological feedback loop of expectation, shame, and rage.

For years I thought it was economically broken that even restaurant and café jobs required a college degree, but now I don't understand how anyone without a psychology degree could be equipped to work with the public. We are hell.
If we were during Prohibition and journals started publishing articles about the positive effects of alcohol at the time there was a movement to legalize alcohol, sure.

Starlink might not but I'm less optimistic about future ones. Who's to say that some company realizes they'll just get a (relatively) small fine if they skip the step that lowers visibility and decide it's worth the cost from a profit standpoint? It already happens now with pollution and I don't see companies changing.

Not to mention that many satellites are already visible to the naked eye in dark areas.
Machine learning, with enough of a data set, has a powerful ability to extrapolate on what will work and what won't. Thanks for sharing.
That is not what Mozilla is claiming:

> The biggest security risk is that FTP transfers data in cleartext, allowing attackers to steal, spoof and even modify the data transmitted.

I don't know how realistic that type of attack is and compromised authentication is likely worse, but both are cases that Mozilla cannot fix since they are inherent to the protocol itself.

I certainly was not viewing Gopher pages at the time they dropped gopher support. I was rather perplexed after updating when FTP didn't work. Turns out some downloads are still on FTP.

These types of jobs should be done by 14-21 year old as they are unskilled and help develop social skills. Always found it weird that we have so many career restaurant workers.
>I remember back when the Spread Firefox campaign was still around - at the time, Firefox and Mozilla in general felt grassroots, fun, and human.

I stand corrected!

Must be childcare costs & housing making it so high, then. I gather childcare costs vary quite a bit from city to city, and in my cheaper location those are easily the two biggest expenses, with childcare eclipsing housing by a fair margin, for 1-parent and 2-parents-both-working categories on the calculator, with 3 kids.

FWIW only the "management" category's average income is (barely) above the "living wage" for a single-adult household, for three kids, here. Since that's pre-tax income, yeah, I'd say that's about right. Kids are crazy-expensive.
This would apply to all industries and yet every one else seems to be able to figure it out. Also I have never been to a Restaurant where I got a different menu based on my W2.

Because the core competency is not the model or code, but the people and organization that enable this project (and perhaps computing infrastructure as well?). The pharma industry will try to catch up of course, but they will also likely try to establish collaboration with DeepMind.

I think this is going to take a long time to be actually be deployed for public use. China's top transportation plans is signaling its taking a more conservative approach to hard infrastructure development in the next 10 years. It is balancing debt and cost. It calls for more local transportation between cities and their satellite cities/towns. These are slower and cheaper to build. It calls for more stringent review of 350km/h HSR lines. In the past, local governments have been rampant in building 350km/h HSR lines, even if the projected ridership is low. These lines cost a lot more to build and operate than lower speed HSR or regular lines, and cannot be used for freight. China currently lacks freight train capacity, and freight is more profitable and its revenue outlook continues to grow. The planning document calls for more commuter and freight duo use lines for middle and western part of the country.

That’s probably part of it, but NTFS has just been slow forever and ever. Anything involving lots of small files is just pain. Perhaps it seems “normal” for anyone used to Explorer progress dialogs, but it’s not.

And Microsoft just doesn’t seem to care :-(.
That’s right. Not only it’s an analogy, it is also a bad one and completely misleading, at least according to physics of the last 50 years. Note how the article frets about the loss of locality.

It's not Windows Defender. Not entirely, anyway. NTFS is slow when reading or writing lots of small files. It just is, and it always has been, and it's because of how NTFS was designed, if I am remembering correctly.

One of the busiest emergency rooms on the west coast is Salem, OR. It has a population of around 150k, but is the only major hospital between Eugene, and Portland (Portland has several hospitals) It has more than 110,000 visits a year.

Last year, Blue Cross threatened to remove it from its network, because its pricing is so high compared to other areas that have actual competition. But since they are the only game in town, they set the price.

Not sure what came out of that, but their list prices sure didn't go down. Must have cut them a special deal to keep them.

I think that the article focuses too much on the academic distinction between immediate renders and tilers but fails short to discuss how these techniques relate to real-world GPUs. For example, the fact that all contemporary AMD and Nvidia gaming GPUs are tilers with large tiles (that's one of the key reasons why Maxwell and Navi got a big boost in performance). Or that many mainstream mobile GPUs employ various hacks (e.g. vertex shader splitting) in order to simplify the architecture, but which ultimately blocks their ability to scale to more advanced applications. Notably missing any mention of TBDR which currently powers the fastest low-power mobile and desktop GPUs on the market.

I guess the context is incredibly different.

Usually I’m not working in startups. Usually I’m responsible for 10s-100s of millions of Euro projects.

Of course being pragmatic is a large part of what has led me to a successful career; and in that spirit of course whatever works for you is the best and I’m not going to refute it.

I would also argue for a single VPS over kubernetes for a startup, it’s incredibly unnecessary for an MVP or a relatively limited number of users.

But I wouldn’t argue for the kind of lock-in you describe.

I have seen many times how hitching your wagon to another company can hurt your long term goals. Using a couple of VPSs leaves your options open.

As soon as you’re buying the kook-aid of something that can’t easily be replicated outside the you’re hoping that none of the scenarios I’ve seen happen again.

Things I’ve seen:

Locayta: a search system, was so deeply integrated that our SaaS search was permanently crippled. That company went under but we could not possibly move away. It was a multi-year effort.

One of our version control systems changed pricing model so that we paid 90x more overall. We could do nothing because we’d completely hitched our wagon on this system. Replacing all build scripts, documentation and training users was a year long effort at the least. So we paid the piper.

This happens all the time: Adobe being another example that hasn’t impacted me directly.

It’s important in negotiations to be able to walk away.
