I've never understood this frame of mind. The notebook is a tool that's meant to be used. Part of learning to use a tool well is using it poorly, in order to learn what not to do. At least with a notebook you don't have to learn by missing the nail and not missing your thumb.

Also quite seriously: Moleskines are garbage. Poor bindings, shit paper, absurdly overpriced - I honestly don't know how they sleep at night. A Mnemosyne N195A is $9 or $10 from a reputable seller, and much better made with quality paper. Or, for the same money as a ripoff Moleskine, you can get an A5 Rhodia Webnotebook and have something so beautiful and palpably well made that it's at least understandable not wanting to sully it with use. (But if you do get one, write in it anyway, dammit! The only way you misuse a notebook is to let it sit gathering dust.)

As others have said, the System/360 line wasn't even IBM's first generation of mainframes, but it was the first line of computers with an ISA as we understand the term: A document describing an environment for software to be written for independent of any specific machine, such that the machines would be implementations of that ISA and multiple different machines could all run the same software. IBM used this to make a whole line of different mainframes at different price points that could all run (mostly) the same software, to the limits of different machines having different amounts of RAM and some machines not having disk drives and some opcodes not being implemented on certain low-end models, just like how it works these days.

But that came about in the mid 1960s, and IBM had been making commercial mainframes for over a decade by then.

Has Culdesac made much progress? The site looks fairly similar to last time I looked at it, a while back. Are they building it all out or waiting on sales to finance progress?
I've been shutting off my hard drives but found that anything short of unmounting them caused them to be awoken frequently by random processes with timer-based disk access.

My solution was to move all my online use-cases to a separate SSD and mount the HDDs only when I need them for a manual process. E.g. when I want to watch a movie I have downloaded, I'll mount the disk pool and copy it to the SSD (although my internet is fast enough that just downloading it again is usually faster than the manual process).
I think the comment is a perfectly relevant and accurate response to those wholesale assertions you made.

OK, so I started reading the post and initially had the same feeling. May this have been one of those things where he really leaves his pet peeves behind and contributes something?

But then his lingo started to creep in. Computational irreducibility, linking to how he invented the concept. Rurial space. Geez man, does everything really have to be a promotion of the cult-like New Kind of Science stuff? Full of links to his own unrelated blog posts? It's sad.

I'd really have liked to like the article, he clearly put a lot of effort into it. But I had to stop reading. You can't tell for sure where real explainations end and where his unproven claims start about "knowing" that the universe is just computational and everything just based on some rule from a cellular automaton.

And I've gotten conditioned to never start a sentence with "OK, so". It's now giving me the jiffies.

The article is a bit long, rambling, and rankly not very well written, but it's definitely not a "Tory complains left-wing bias in BBC"-type of article.

Example:

"And here we arrive at a truly awesome, structural bias that is barely guessed at by journalists themselves. The fact is that it is simply understood by ‘mainstream’ media at election time that foreign policy – especially our leaders’ high crimes – is somehow unaccountably, inexplicably, irrationally, not an issue the electorate need trouble its pretty little head about. Even after the devastating, illegal 2003 invasion-occupation of Iraq, with the crime still fully underway, foreign policy barely featured as an election issue in 2005.

Corbyn was presented, relentlessly, as a moral monster, as a threat to humanity on the basis of miniscule, in fact non-existent, evidence. But Johnson and the Tories, and Corbyn’s Blairite enemies, escaped all scrutiny – for the simple reason that their very real crimes have been declared a non-issue by an awesomely corrupt system of media corporations serving the power of which they are an integral part."
Not needing to be indexed is what allows SPA, it doesn't justify it.

Similarly, page speed should matter regardless and tbh what I've seen in the wild people restricting themselves to serverside renders have far superior load times due to cachability and lightweight page designs.

I think the article hits the nail on the head, were opting for devex over UX. I don't think it's really a problem, I use react in a large org (one of the spa examples funnily enough) and it does enable workflows and org structures that would not work without the site being a spa.

Whether that trade off is worth it I'm not sure. While it enables org structures that work for us Im not convinced the resulting empire building and feature spam was worth it for users.
It is a lot about building relationships with vendors in China. I've dealt with the same issues you describe here with most of my Chinese vendors, usually putting up with them because they were cheap. Those we stuck with are now our best vendors because they realize that it is just easiest to do it properly the first time. I have one vendor that causes our sourcing team to tremble in fear about because of how risky they appear to be, but nobody can beat their prices, service, and quality to us.
>look for communities whose size is large enough to be impactful but small enough so that it hasn't gone through the scaling phase transition. This number is most likely in the range of 20k to 300k, maybe with an upper bound of 3M.

The issue is like Earth in the solar system; way too small of a "goldilocks" zone and in the days of the modern internet it seems almost impossible to hit it.

Reddit is undoubtedly too big, but look for any other competitor and the discourse can barely even hit the 10k mark, where you're browsing maybe once a week hoping someone made a post or left a comment in a post. And any modern aternative that does hit that mark (discord, tiktok, Vine back in the day) will quickly balloon past that 300k range.

Your only solace seems to be seeking older communities that have stood the test of time. Even 4chan these days seems to have cooled down outside of the larger, more infamous groups.

How an industry works is not such a secret that you can't talk about it anonymously in a forum.
>Is that a fair assessment?

Think about what you are saying when you say "my property". Owning something is not a natural law of the universe. If I go into your house and take your laptop how are you going to take it back? If I'm stronger than you, then tough shit. Or we have a war and if I win the war I take your stuff. Most people would call the police (the government) to sort it out, and the government will look at the law and decide who has rightful ownership.

Your right to property is given to you by the state and you pay your taxes for that right. Without the state, you don't have property; you are a warlord with a gun up until a stronger warlord decides to run you over.

>I still tend to think that government could fund all the welfare it needs if it simply stopped wasting so much money on cronyism and frivolous projects.

This is entirely different from the "taxation is theft" angle, but somehow "taxation is theft" only ever seems to apply when it's used for welfare and not for highway subsidies. It's strange that you are not "robbing peter to pay paul" when taxes are used to bomb russians.

The government collects revenue and must decide on the most efficient way to spend that revenue. Many economists have hypothesized that giving money directly to people is better than social programs such as food stamps.

If so, creation was already a non-human thing before LLMs by randomizing a dictionary enough times. Or do we tie creation to some kind of value? How should we define it?

# rant

I thought about this for a solid 15 minutes. What really is an open source of version of Cloudflare? That leads into the question of what is really Cloudflare.

An enterprise that has built something so huge that the idea it represents can not be separated from the service (as a whole) they provide. That is like saying what is the open source alternative to I don't know....Intel or Oracle. It not only covers a suite of offering that is impossible to replicate, but rather the complexity of each component of their entire service suite.

How the heck are you supposed to do open source CDN?

Then you take a step back and the question again, which still doesn't make any sense. "Open source alternative to Cloudflare". The question is supposed to be "What represents the open source alternative to what Cloudflare's XYZ does".

CDN, a network that is designed to deliver content... and needs to be open source. P2P systems? Torrenting? Some weird blockchain stuff? Are they CDN? I have no clue. You end up compromising in the definition of the service Cloudflare provides to pick something because it is supposed to be Open Source. You go down the list of each service Cloudflare with your own Open Source twist and you end up with a web service that more and more represents the Web 1.0 and arguably not reliable. What are you compromising at that point? Open source becomes an agenda rather than a solution.

Cloudflare isn't a software company, you are essentially paying them for the hardware they are carrying in their network/portfolio. They are not Open Source-able.
I felt the same way, but there are three layers of defense for me, in order: robust undo, git commits, and the IDE maintains a history of its own with a certain number of revisions back in time.
Story tracks.

AWS != Amazon (e.g., retail; Prime; Alexa). For persons saying things like "I didn't experience this" + "I worked in AWS," this may be because it is quite common on the Amazon side. Managers routinely make up reasons for placement on PIP, for fear of losing their own job as well as outright narcissism. Like a cult.

In hindsight it's probably the greatest gift one can experience. The earlier one learns where they don't want to work and/or what "managers" they will not work for, the better.

Meanwhile, incompetent managers climb the ranks of "leadership" via lies, embellishment, and bullying. For Amazon, it helps explain why all their products and services are clumsy and chronically broken. The people Amazon treats so poorly, the ones who actually make high-value products and services, just won't return.
despite the loud complaints, many people on reddit don't really care abut original content. They want what is funny or big news or otherwise garners an extreme reaction. And when you can't find those, reposting the surefire hits works just as well.

If you haven’t used it, remember that word.
I use an Odroid HC4 (two SATA 3 slots) powered by a Shelly smart plug. My backup script powers the plug with a HTTP call. Waits for the server to be online by repeated ssh attempts. Unlocks the backup disk by asking me the LUKS password. Starts the backup. Sshs to the server to shut it down. Polls the plug over HTTP until the power meter shows a less than one Watt consumption for a while. Eventually powers off the plug, HTTP again. The backup procedure includes a remote encrypted mirror. Power consumed between backups: zero plus the smart plug.
No, ChatGPT is not a "Chinese Room". It's not big enough.

The classic "Chinese Room" is a pure lookup, like a search engine. All the raw data is kept. But the network in these large language models is considerably smaller than the training set. They extract generalizations from the data during the training phase, and use them during generation. Exactly how that happens or what it means is still puzzling.
Not the same thing as those mentioned in the article, but I went self employed because it became increasingly difficult to find any salary progression in full time employment in the UK.

Several years on and I make in 3 days a week what similar senior London based full time employees make in 5. There’s no work scarcity either.

It’s like the the money is there, but workers in the UK are just used to being underpaid and so they put up with continually just getting by.
I don't know if it is just me, but I think that names of the form "X by Y" come across as particularly soulless and makes it look like X was just gobbled up by private equity and turned into a small department.
The remarkable thing is that language can combine intelligence of multiple beings and at some point that collective intelligence becomes a thing of it own, it can capture minds, spread and grow. Now we have all of our collective intelligence encoded in the form of billions of web pages and it seems that the language itself can direct its thinking, at least judging by the ChatGPT outputs (although, doesn't initiate it — it needs some external input, something to respond to, just like humans need respond to what happens in the environment).
Does it matter? At least they're not working for far worse like Meta or AMZN.

Spotify tried to erect a walled garden around RSS and failed. it's also a fairly crappy podcast player (way, way too willing to skip to the next podcast on the slightest mistake because its such a basic port of the music player). denying RSS and MP3 downloads on the episodes pages. you deserved to fail.
Lots of foods last a long time, but nothing right now exists that can be stored for multiple years without freezing and still provide a nutritionally complete diet for a crew.

The problem is not finding food that is still edible after years in storage, but food that the crew can eat long term without getting sick and without developing deficiency diseases. For example, the Pentagon says you can't eat MREs for longer than 21 consecutive days.

The space food problem is genuinely hard and interesting, you can get a sense of it in this paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221455242...

The company would have to pay a fee to the copyright owner plus some extra.

Awesome project! Might be posted because there was that thread about power savings earlier? All I need now is to pick a WAL daemon to run on my raspberry pi (er, it's actually a KVM with access to the POWER button so if I wanted eg. wake-on-stream I'd need to either use WAL anyways or rig something up to use my own trigger...).

People don't all follow the same career advice book. Or have the same mindset & emotions about Bail vs. Stay. There's a wide bell-curve for pretty much anything involving humans.

Speaking as an old geezer - I see a whole lotta people, even older ones, who never really "get" that other people don't share their worldview / emotions / etc. I've had seemingly bright, educated grandparents proclaim to me that they can't believe that anyone would ever do X...just 20 minutes after they told me a story about their own grandkid doing X.
It's not even just the phone thing. I'm not from the US but have driven 10,000+ miles there in the last few years on various roadtrips. So many American drivers drive with a death wish, like they're invulnerable and are not fussed if they do or don't survive their next lane change.

Still sounds pretty friendly to me. Obviously once you modify the code Github cannot be liable anymore for the lines edited. Otherwise you could push all kinds of infringement on them just because Copilot was active.

Reasonable development practices certainly don't include scanning every line for copyright, but should catch the most obvious cases.

Overall I'm surprised they're willing to bet $500k per client on the legality of Copilot.
Reminds me of the BTK serial killer Dennis Rader who got caught because of leaked metadata in a Word document.

> Police found metadata embedded in a deleted Microsoft Word document that was, unknown to Rader, still stored on the floppy disk. The metadata contained the words "Christ Lutheran Church", and the document was marked as last modified by "Dennis". An Internet search determined that a "Dennis Rader" was president of the church council.[1]

Eric (CEO of StackBlitz) here- your explanation is 100% correct regarding why & how servers need to be used to power parts of WebContainer environments (i.e. proxying npm, git, transforming binaries, amongst a handful of other things).

Some of these operations can be cacheable which is ideal for scalability, but even the ones that cannot tend to be far cheaper than running VMs which incur by the minute CPU costs.

Our intention is to be fully transparent on the how & why, so I’m happy to answer further questions on all this! I also think it’d be good for us to include something more detailed like your explanation in our docs so that other folks don’t feel similarly confused when reading them- curious if there’s particular points that jump out to you that I can share with our team to include!
Why is this bad? I am tired of the garbage collection thing.

You have native performance!

The only complaint is that D might think of adding some of the ergonomics of ML-family of languages. But it has its opinion (like Lisps) and I respect that.

Ergonomics and possibly safety could be goals.
