> The value of token will appreciate over time whereas the price of storage will keep getting cheaper.

That's not a given, however, and it's not just raw storage but also network bandwidth and operator time which all require regular ongoing payments. Expecting newcomers to pay for the early adopters' storage in perpetuity is tricky because you need high demand for an otherwise useless token but there's a limit on the price for most users in the form of all of the competing options, which are currently faster and more reliable.

> It's simpler than s3 in many aspects so I'm not sure you would need a system administrator. Everyone can run a node and things are replicated many times over. The failover model is to look for the next node. There are no API, security, access, etc consideration to be maintained at the node level.

It's not that simple: anyone running much storage will need to spend time replacing failed drives, managing their bandwidth relative to demand, etc. That time needs to be paid for. Massive replication is necessary to deal with the reduced node reliability but that means the network needs to pay for considerably more storage in total than, say, Amazon does and adds significant scaling issues managing all of those extra nodes with more frequent status changes.

This has been tried a number of times before and it always founders due to being slower and less reliable, with considerably more complicated software required to deal with all of those issues which the competitors don't have. It's possible that this will be more successful but I think it's really important to look at how the market pressures have consistently gone in the other direction. Amazon didn't end up with exabytes of storage in S3 because it started there — people migrated their data there because it was faster, cheaper, and easier to have it there — and that is a competitive challenge for a replacement trying to build on nodes which aren't maintained with comparable levels of service.
This is plain wrong. The code of systemd was already shit from the beginning.

Random system breakages for stupid reasons.

And everything hardcoded the ugliest way possible so that it is impossible to have alternate systems like some embedded ones.
AFAIK, WhatsApp's client does a lot of tracking itself, it just observing the messages. I've also thought (esp. in the past) that WhatsApp claims if e2e didn't hold up irl.

Meanwhile, yes this article is about how sms isn't a replacement. It's silly, because here and elsewhere people are saying the only place what the greentext nonsense exists is in articles like this.
I'm sure you realize that going back doesn't take away the years of wandering. You've moved on — in my case, I've spent almost thirty years in different communities, marrying a wife from far away with her own family and community, moving several times, making new friends and losing touch with old ones — and, possibly more importantly, the community I grew up in has moved on as well. You know how Heraclitus said, "No man ever steps in the same river twice?" The community you grow up in is like that; to remain in the same community, you have to stay in it, be carried along with it, and change with it, or when you return, you return to a community changed in ways you have not experienced.
Is this true? It’s not my experience. My first meaningful programs were raw socket IRC clients as a teenager explicitly because they were simpler to figure out than using things like egg drop.

That isn’t to say that most fully featured tools were written from scratch — I can’t speak to that one way or another. But I know a lot of people who were learning about internet protocols by using telnet to interact directly with IRC servers then transferring that knowledge into a socket-level reimplementation of the protocol.

RFC1459 certainly proved to me that RFCs can be simple and worth reading. And the whole experience taught me early that a simple enough, well documented protocol could be easier to use than a wrapper library in a foreign language. I certainly use a lot of libraries these days, but those lessons have served me extremely well.
Maybe that wasn't possible/enabled for our particular deployment (that was in the IT dept. of a big European bank), as we had what I've been told was a strange bastardization of O365 and other MSFT services - a mix of on-prem and cloud services unlikely to be found elsewhere.

At any rate, for the IRC server at the shop I was at previously, I had "webhook" support/a http(s)->irc gateway implemented on my own in much less than an hour via CGI ;)

> In either case (company or individual), due to our line of business, most likely you'll also need to do the VAT registration. It's something like 150 - 200 BGN.

The VAT registration requires monthly declarations of VAT. Tracking your VAT takes time for the accountants as they need to summarize all your invoices, expenses, and other paperwork. Links (conveniently only available in Bulgarian):

Even wose, many blockchain nodes are running on AWS. Fortunately we know the problem exists.. and there are solutions people are working on to resolve it (for example https://akash.network/)

The good part is that this infrastructure is a commodity and you can move relatively effortlessly.
I don't understand. The "expert" that said that it's a 'dead trap' is just a Reddit user? Does s/he have any credentials that make the newspaper repeat it?
Depending on your age and how much you can deduct, the switch over can come as "low" as 90k. At 100k you should always be ahead in any case. And that's without counting the social security contributions. Depending on how you value them, it might be more convenient even under <90k.

Your argument is pretty much that you can't/shouldn't trust WhatsApp/Signal and Moxie's argument is you don't need to if the cryptography is implemented correctly. It can't be just switched off, any update to the applications gets reversed within hours of release well before it's rolled out to a significant population of the users because exploits in both are quite prized. As someone else pointed out WhatsApp RCEs go for ~$1.5M USD, that is in a similar class to iMessage.

Signals relay system is effectively untrusted at the protocol layer, this isn't much different from Bitcoin. The only real difference is the only people running it are the Signal folk. Is it an improvement to have a decentralized backend? Only arguably. From a user perspective it's actually often worse as fully decentralized peer-to-peer systems often perform worse and can't implement optimisations that are possible in centralised systems. From a purely "I can't trust anyone" perspective then no, but even Bitcoin and friends aren't that either. You trust the Bitcoin developers to not alter the protocol in a subtle way to weaken it just like you trust the Signal developers and server infrastructure not to subley subvert the cryptosystem.

What I am saying is I think trusting the protocol developers of blockchain like systems isn't substantially different from trusting the Signal developers with the exception that it would be easier to fork a blockchain if you disagreed while spinning up your own Signal infrastructure would be quite a lot more work.

As for powerful wall connected devices I do think you are being a bit facetious here. The vast majority of the population the mobile phone is their primary computing device. This is true across most of Asia, India and Africa. More modern developed countries have a wider proliferation of powerful consumer computing hardware but even there non-mobile computing is dwindling and while devices like iPad/tablets are becoming more popular they are prone to the same shortcomings of mobile devices (locked down OS, little/no background processing capability, unreliably connectivity).

Also I wouldn't cling too quickly to the idea that Apple is selling you something drastically different from Google. If you look at their recent earnings reports they are now generating more and more of their profits as a precentage from their services business. They very much are attempting to follow the Google model, they just weren't as aggressive in the route they took.

I don't actually see that as a problem though. If they can pursue a very cloud heavy model that is privacy preserving and protected by sufficient cryptography I don't see a problem. If however they keep going down the path of the device local CSAM scanning and the like... well I guess I won't be buying more Apple products.

At the end of the day user experience is king. Everything else fades away under the weight of sheer amounts of money that comes from bowing to consumerism. If all this Web 3.0 stuff has a poor user experience vs what is being peddled by Google/Apple then don't expect it survive for that long.
Thanks for all the quotes. This one's my favorite of them, I think. I've chatted with you in the past, and I think we largely see eye to eye. I love LP! I still use it. Here's an x86 VM I maintained for several years: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/tree/main/linux/bootstrap. This (old) essay is merely thoughts on _how_ to do LP. We have some disagreement there, but I hope you'll agree that it's mild in the large scheme of things.

Yup keboard entry and text editors slow my thinking down or I should say get in the way of thought when I am in full flow. Probably cause growing up all problem solving happened with pencil and paper. So I still use notebooks or the blackboard to think about problems.

For kids, and marginalized communities, school closures are surely the most noticeable.
That’s certainly an option. But absolutely nothing points to it being the actual thing that will happen other than wild baseless speculation.
Pluto solves¹ many of these problems, but it’s Julia only. Most importantly:

- cells are linked through a dependency graph, so the output you see is independent of the order in which the cells appear;

- each notebook is backed by a plain Julia module, so you can use version control, edit in a real editor instead of only in the browser, and import other notebooks;

- You can create interaction² using HTML inputs, Julia wrappers over those, or go crazy with your own custom JavaScript controls;

- It’s easy to embed LaTeX into the MarkDown, and you can use HTML, so any hyperlinking works.

I’d say the notion of “curling up with a book” strongly evokes literature. And calling it “literate” programming invites the comparison as well. But a program isn’t like a math book either. It is actually pretty rare to actually just read a program start to finish.

I really enjoy just listen to music, and I do it quite often. So OP example feels strange..

If anything, I get waaay to excited / uplifted when listening to favorite songs, so I simply can't do it at work or before sleep. I am just listening to something "chill" that doesn't have an emotional baggage
The question is: have they actually refunded Robin? He (his friend, in who's name the card was) received the chargeback? If not, then this is a scam and you need to call the police. But i believe he did.

If so, what is the problem about asking Robin to simply pay again?

And the situation is trivial: no platform would survive if they allowed freelancers keep the money earned by carding, because it would be flooded with carders.

Full disclosure: i made over $2M on Upwork.
Strange assumption. Apple certainly make claims that they don't (which can result in nasty legal consequences if they are lung), provides access to the data they collect on you on phone, allow people to opt out data collection.

And that's all public. It's possible they're lying. Maybe you know they are lying. But unless you do it seems like a weird assumption.
That was probably a major upgrade from the -100!

My guess is that the content you are referencing in your 2nd point is really the author's failed attempt at a variant of the "it's over 9000" meme. Nobody could reasonably think that it costs in the ballpark of $9 million.

Where did the ISP idea come from?!

How can ISPs do anything close to this when they're not even concerned with how many devices you have? ISPs just do not connect individual end user "devices", they connect subnets.

> content providers may refuse to serve you

Providers of Hollywood-copyright-mafia content like Netflix have already been demanding hardware DRM (at least for high resolutions) for years.

Providers of public ad-supported content like YouTube care about maximizing views above everything. They'll happily serve a 4K stream to a Windows 98 machine if it can connect with modern TLS somehow. YouTube isn't even trying to fight youtube-dl all that much, there was an attempt at throttling recently but it was very quickly defeated. Heck, YouTube Music on the web does not use DRM at all, and that's all music-copyright-mafia content there.
I think you’re right, especially when you look at the kind of silliness he’s actually writing. It’s just overcommented code, and worse than that, trying to be cute. Sorry, massive respect for the guy and his accomplishments, but this is not a good idea.
Just. Stop. You’re hurting kids by spreading the myth that school funding is the problem, because it allows the real problems to continue festering. US public schools are among some of the best funded in the world: https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/15434/the-countries-spend...

Very nice. Maybe you could build a recommendation engine on top, Netflix seems to have a knack for recommending things I've already seen. Relies in me telling you which films I like of course, or an existing similar dataset.
Echoing previous responses, it depends on what you want to learn. Gravity on large scales is fairly well understood (or at least many astrophysicists believe this to be the case). If there are large scale structure observables that are only dependent on cosmology (i.e. the cosmological parameters) simulations like this will be ideal. However, the major issue here is that a huge amount of the results of these simulations depend on physics that happen below the "grid scale" off the simulation. Thus I would agree that training the ML models on these simulations is the epitome of bias because it is learning a "sub grid" model rather than fundamental physics. Reading through the papers on this work, the vast majority of models that have been trained are not able to generalize between the different classes of sub grid models used which very much limits predicability. This is an inherent limitation of most cosmological simulations, not just these ones.
No, it's simply a typo, missing the final ",000". It's been fixed now, thanks.
That's Upwork's fault for allowing the fraudulent transaction and they're trying to steal from you so they don't have to own their fuck up.

Yes, the price error was a typo which has been fixed.

"not designed in a vacuum" was a figure of speech, meaning that testing it was done in the context of previous missions.

You don’t need to rapid test every student every day for a year! $4,000 per kid is a ton of money for PPE, remote learning supplies, test kits, ventilation, etc. The money has mostly been set on fire.
this user’s post needs to be up voted to the top of the front page. upwork has millions of contractors throughout the world and can afford to cover this cost. Obviously not all users / contractors are not active every month. But they take a good chunk of the cut.
Did they abandon Covid Zero? I thought it was a case of omicron giving false negatives on the tests they used allowing it to break through the border.
My very strong suspicion is that a program written in the “literate” style and then maintained a long time is very likely to end up with its comments and implementations disagreeing, making it worse, in this respect, than one without comments. I say this because this has been my observation even with much more modest amounts of comments. Keeping them in sync with the code is always a struggle.
That's very true! It's not just kids. However (and maybe this is disingenuous) I believe that HN is both more enriching (I learn new things every single time whereas tiktok is mostly mind-numbing videos that no one will remember in six months) and less addictive (relative to something like tiktok). It's still social media, but it really is nothing like tiktok. Ask your kids for their screentime, or ask which of their friends has the highest. I bet it's at least 10 hours, and the likelihood of it being tiktok or instagram is very high.
Except Epson does this too. For example, they won't print black and white when the printer thinks (based on counters) that color cartridge is low. There are even "chip resetters" to circumvent this: https://eshop.inktec.cz/product-en/epson-stylus-pro/7800_-98...

Honestly, it's not HP or Epson or Samsung or Canon. The entire printing industry is a giant scam.
If you have Robin's contacts, I would suggest you get a lawyer and sue him personally. You have made work for him which hasn't been paid (because the money was taken back).

To my untrained eyes that seems pretty much a classic case of unpaid dues. Just get a consultation with a lawyer either way, it's the surest thing to do.
Not sure how it works in Bulgaria, but over here in the Netherlands if your income is lower than some level you can (with some conditions) apply for unemployment benefits that will include enough money for the social security taxes. This is a bit roundabout (why not just withhold the social security money from the benefits in the first place?), but such are the joys of a complex tax system evolved over multiple centuries.

“wow. using ML to generate images from text is about to get a whole lot weirder”
With respect to reproducible builds, they're pretty extensively used in engineering but have you considered that the reason they aren't more widely used outside of the industry is that most people simply don't care? I don't think that it's that the outputs are hard to use - it's that the vast majority of people installing and running software on their devices are perfectly fine with trusting the existing distribution infrastructure.
1) Yeah, the execution count is there, but there isn't a built in way to visualize it other than the default sequential cells. I really wonder if there's a useful way to show a notebook as a nodegraph.

2) I can't understand the desire for RST over Markdown. Between simplicity and adoption, Markdown beats almost all mark-up languages -- maybe even html.

3) You can use the `run` command to link notebook executions and use Markdown linking to link the documentation.

4) This isn't true. I use vim in Jupyter. There's plugins for emacs too. Also, many editors like VSCode can edit notebooks directly.

5) This is a weird complaint. I can imagine a few corner cases where mixing languages in a notebook would be nice...but the concept of a multi-language Jupyter kernel doesn't make much sense from a practical standpoint.

6) There are diff tools such as `nbdime`. Between those and a few git commit hooks to leave your notebooks in a consistent execution state, merging versions notebooks isn't any worse than other files.

I have noticed many times, writing down a problem and work on it on a paper is much more productive than staring at my screen and/or jumping right to code.

Last time it happened, I spent a day on a Coq exercise, when I finally I decided to grab a paper and pen, and solved it in 5 minutes.

So far I think NASA has done a great job, trough blog posts, videos, websites explaining and visualizing different aspect of JWST in a way that is tangible for laypeople.
