It was Dell actually! https://www.backblaze.com/blog/next-backblaze-storage-pod/ (full disclosure I work for Dell)

They don't state exactly what they're using, only that they're "Dell Servers" which honestly aren't the densest things in the world. I would've thought they'd go for something like the PowerVaults which can fit 84 drives into 5U, which is a little bit denser than their current storage pod configuration (60 drives in 4U).

I did recently do a comparison with our low end servers compared to a JBOD array with the same amount of storage and the uplift for the server configuration was about 10%, give or take. That was limited to a total of 24 drives in 2U however, so not sure how that'd compare to the larger PowerVault arrays or JBODs.

I've been a customer of Backblaze as well for about 6 years now and agree, it's been brilliant for backing up my home network! The reports helped me choose the right drives numerous times over, love their work.
It opens for me in California, so I can't refute your hypothesis.
I saw first hand a sales guy at a prior company I worked for start a side business directly competing with the primary business he was working for in his day job, while still working with them. Including redirecting customers while working for them.

The owner got suspicious due to some comments made by customers, and started listening in on the phone calls he was making on the company phone system.

This was a small business, and it nearly tanked the company, as the customers were confused as hell, and the ‘new’ company wasn’t doing well either. She ended up having to fire him, and sue him, but it took years, and meanwhile he kept operating.

He was paid well, but for some people it’s never enough.

I don’t care what anyone says, that is shitty criminal behavior.

Not everyone, anyone that cares is shipping their own GC implementation just as they have to in regular CPUs.

I took lessons from someone who had TWO grand pianos, a Steinway and a Bechstein. They sold their house, and I became the custodian of the Bechstein on indefinite consignment. It had a cracked sound board, but she was sure that collectors would overlook that and be willing to pay at least $20K, given the illustrious name.

Finally a technician came and examined it, and offered $2K, which he said was mostly charity. Eventually I was getting my floors refinished and the piano had to go, and her daughter took it.

The only pianos that definitely fetch a lot are Steinway grands, and maybe a few smaller brands like Bösendorfer. Full uprights? Maybe a little. Spinets? Forget it.

It's business, good faith isn't really the issue... this isn't your neighbor asking for some eggs....

>"Burning Twitter to the ground seems quite counterproductive"

Good faith or not, it doesn't mean someone can't be misguided. which is why I asked, who cares about their faith??
Interesting. I'm in my thirties, too and phone calls between me and close peers are quite common. Business also. Less so, than a decade ago though.

> We've kept our phones on vibrate for a decade and a half now

I get that you prefer not to call people. But why are you less interested in incoming calls (could be important)?
Chasing for money rarely is successful, though. Inheriting a fortune is a way which worked for many of the rich, though. For some it was work on a good idea and producing a good product.

Their content is basically advertising their brand to their fans though. Stephen King can announce a book tour or new title and reach millions of fans for a meager 20 bucks a month. On the flip side, I personally don't need to have celebrities on the platform to see the value. When Twitter started there were no celebrities on there and they only got involved once it took off because it is a cost effective way of reaching fans.
What you see is all there is.

At a certain scale, it's conventional for hardware designs to become complex enough that it's necessary to structure them in hierarchies, just to maintain control. This design is small enough that none of the extra structure is essential.

It's possible to be incredibly expressive in Verilog and VHDL. This implementation is written in VHDL, which has an outdated reputation for being long-winded.

Also worth a look: FemtoRV32 Quark [0], which is written in Verilog.

For the average SaaS I suspect this hurts sales. As someone who often gets to choose what services we pay for, any service where I have to send an email, or worse, involve our finance or accounts payable department and get non-technical people involved at the very start, it's a huge disincentive.

> But if I train my own neural network inside my skull using some artist's style, that's ok?

How well the network inside your skull can manipulate your limbs to reproduce good-quality work in some artist's style?

Our current framework for thinking about "fair use", "copyright", "trademark" and similar were thought about into existence during an era when the options for "network inside the skull" were to laboriously learn a skill to draw or learn how to use a machine like printing press/photocopier that produces exact copies.

Availability of a machine that automates previously hand-made things much more cheaply or is much more powerful often requires rethinking those concepts.

If I copy a book putting ink on paper letter by letter manually, that's ok, think of those monks in monasteries who do that all the time. And Mr Gutenberg's machine just makes that ink-on-paper process more efficient...

Musk seems to be flinging excrement at the walls and seeing what sticks. Nothing of what he is doing with twitter seems to be strategic in any way.
Yeah, that strikes me as the real problem with this plan. Setting aside all the criticisms that can be made of how Twitter has handled verification (and "de-verification") in the past, the point of being verified was to signal "Twitter, the company, has a high degree of confidence that this account is who or what they claim to be," not to signal "Twitter, the company, is getting eight bucks a month from whoever this person is".
There is a part of Deep Learning research (Differential Privacy) which focuses on making sure an algorithm cannot leak information about the training set, and this is a rigorous concept, you can quantify how much privacy-preserving a model is, and there are methods to make a model "private" (at the cost of performance I think for now)

Spring Discovery | Software Engineers and Product Designers | Full-Time | SF Bay Area | ONSITE or REMOTE

Spring Discovery is accelerating the discovery of therapies by empowering scientists.

We're an interdisciplinary team of biologists and technologists developing a new approach to scientific analysis – one where machine learning, great software, and cross-team collaboration is at its heart. We apply these techniques in partnership with other biopharma companies to search for drugs, and we also license our software / technology to other scientific teams.

We're looking for software engineers and product designers to help continue building software products for science. You don't need a bio background – just a desire to learn and make a difference.

Get a sense of some of the technology we build and the promising results they've uncovered by reading our blog posts:

https://www.springdiscovery.com/blog/megamap
https://www.springdiscovery.com/blog/multi-disease

We're fortunate to have great backing from top investors, including General Catalyst, First Round, Laura Deming's Longevity Fund, Felicis, Caffeinated Capital, Sam Altman, and more.

Small team. Tons of ownership. Hugely impactful space at intersection of ML + science. If this sounds interesting to you, head on over to https://www.springdisc.com/careers
yes, I agree, that's why I qualified it, because I don't think what users really want is freedom either, unless the lack of it happens to get in their way
I am happier, more productive, less stressed, using better equipment, and working in an office that doesn’t suck. What’s not to love?

The only losers IMHO are incompetent middle managers who doesn’t know how to manage based on results instead of endless BS meetings and time-spent-looking-busy. However I have zero sympathy for those. Their salary money is better spent hiring more developers.
Ubuntu had the alternative software called Upstart.

It was killed because of the Red Had power behind Systemd.

Technically, I don't know which one is better, but politically, Systemd was a power move by Red Hat.

I used it both as a mobile app and a web app and it works great in both versions.

Notable about Mapy.cz:

- Offline support is really nice, you download specific regions you're interested in.

- There is a really cool option to create a "Trip in the area". You pick a starting point and it does a loop of a set length and comes back to the same point. See https://napoveda.seznam.cz/en/maps/route-planner/circuit-rou...

- It's backed by, what seems to be, a Czech IT giant - Seznam.

Bachelor's Degree in Corporate Finance and spent several years of in the construction industry before diving into programming, which had previously just been a hobby.
I am also the creator of FinMesh, a financial data API wrapper for Python.

I find the lack of string interpolation to be the one thing that kills me about javascript. The lack of it feels wrong and I can't get behind languages that don't have easy interpolation.

Yes Ruby has ruined me.
Anonymous verification of age is a nice one: Site a generates a bit of bytes, you then take that to a government portal, login and get it signed, then you return with the signature and now the site knows nothing whatsoever about you, other than that you could get a government site to assert that you are old enough to order beer online.

The government site doesn't have to know anything about you either, other than you requested a beer token.

It doesn't follow.

The bigger the universe, the more it contains exact duplicates of you. If the universe is literally infinite, it is obvious there exists an infinite number of you. We can see only a limited slice of it, but it's not a proof there are no duplicates of you in that slice.

That is all.

I've had to start running through a workflow at the beginning of fundraising calls to force VCs to list any companies they've invested-in that might be competitive. It would shock you how many attempt to hide competitive interests.

VCs do fundraising calls half the time for getting landscape information. Do not assume good intent. Ever.

Only the paranoid survive.
This concept is so strange. I'm not sure what country you are from, but I'm going to assume the US. Would you think it was OK if another country destroyed something in America because they thought it was damaging the environment. How about if they tried to force you to change your ways because of the environmental damage you were doing? Because guess what? The US is seriously over represented in pollution. Destroying the US might just solve the entire climate problem, I doubt that would be palatable ?

Banning non-competes is a great idea.

However, everyone here should be aware that lots of startups are now including "power of attorney" clauses in their employment contracts that grant to the employer power of attorney to assign inventions to themselves. Feels like there's a lot of room for abuse, which could discourage moves to competitors.
Music is somewhat more challenging because you have a few other problems that have to be solved in the pipeline, and source separation is still not a 100% solved problem. Beyond that, audio tagging beyond track level artist/genre is a lot harder than image tagging.

Once you have separated sources for a training data set, it's like text generation, except that instead of a single function of sequence position, you have multiple correlated functions of time. Text generation models can barely maintain self consistency from paragraph to paragraph, which is a sequence difference of maybe 200 tokens, now consider moving from token position to a time variable, and adding the requirement that multiple sequences retain coherency both with each other, and with themselves over much larger distances.

There are generative music models, but it's mostly stuff that's been trained on midi files for a specific genre or artist, and the output isn't that impressive.

I am also eagerly awaiting "hark the bloodied angel screams" with blastbeats, shrieks and blistering tremolo guitar, though.

Because there are allegations that he was peddling access to his father while his father was VP which may be backed up by emails on said laptop. Now that it's confirmed as genuine, an investigation needs to be done. We would demand nothing less if this were the previous president.
One way to consider copyright: when the concept gained traction 16th and 17th centuries, the doctrine existed to protect the author’s ability to get someone to finance the printing of his work. That is reproduction was costly and required an investment by a printer. The printer faced more economic harm than the author if he spent $20,000 typesetting and printing a thousand copies of something only to find a competitor beat him to the market. To be clear, the copyright attaches to the author, but it is only valuable because it enables the author to induce a printer to publish his work.

Now, as the costs of publishing have dropped to zero, the concept is beginning to make less sense.
I personally don't care in any way about what business leaders are comfortable with. Our planet is burning. They should be uncomfortable.

The strange thing is this wasn't a price hike or a reduction in service. It was a launch of new tiers above the previous singular one. So to me this looks like a failure of marketing.
