TIL that Azure blob storage can be told where to download blobs from, that's neat.

> Pre-GTR, the backup procedure would have taken at least 3 hours even with a VPS Setup facilitating the transfer from Google Takeout as even large instances on the cloud with large disks, much memory, and many CPUs would eventually choke with too many files being downloaded in parallel.

("VPS" above links to https://sjwheel.net/cloud/computing/2019/08/01/aws_backup.ht... , which describes spinning up an EC2 machine with enough local storage to download the whole takeout, and using that to download from google and then upload to s3)

I think one could do this "transloading" comfortably inside the AWS Lambda limits. The golang AWS sdk's s3.s3manager.UploadInput takes an io.Reader and puts its contents into an S3 bucket+key. You could make a lambda function that downloads a Takeout part and chunks it into s3. Lambda scales to zero and will be patiently waiting for you two months from now when you need it again.
If the other question solved your problem, it's considered a duplicate. However, a duplicate isn't necessarily bad, and getting your question closed for it shouldn't be taken as a slight. It's just another angle (as you had a different error) to get to the same answer.

Edits provide reputation when accepted and on SO specifically are about the only reliable way for new users to get reputation. Answering new questions that don't get closed is difficult, anything "easy" is mobbed by people and a single answer gets reputation and the other largely ignored or even deleted. Asking is also difficult for the reasons commonly cited elsewhere in comments. Edits are also further gamified to be accepted through review queues that give badges for stamping enough things.

Technically, trivial edits are discouraged, but there's nothing enforcing that publicly.
I was a teenager until 30 years ago and I still don't know how to drive.

From the article: « “Like, when we’re out of tomatoes,” Johnson says, and laughs, “I want to be able to say, ‘Hey, I need tomatoes. Go to the store and get a tomato.’” »

This sounds like a symptom of either rural living, or poor urban planning. I've never lived more than a 10 minute bike ride away from ... well ... anything I might need on short notice.
Just like you can get better are searching things with google or explaining things to a human, you will be able to get better at getting what you want out of chatgpt.

I don't see why you find that controversial.
Proof that the things you say on the internet — even anonymously — could come back to haunt you, even years later. Assume that it will, and be prepared for the consequences. Or, you know, abstain from discussing how you have commissioned your crimes.
Unlike a lost network packet a single derailed car can slow down the whole train and any trains behind it on either side. By using longer trains they are putting more eggs in one basket.

On top of that longer periods of stress on a particular part of rail due to the longer trains is probably uncovering new failures in problem spots especially if heating is involved in the problem. Longer train = more time for a piece of rail to heat up.

I think the metric of concern would be total consecutive time the rail is loaded or something like that.
It really is great. I didn't expect to read the whole thing but I'm glad I did even if some parts seemed a little heavy handed. For whatever reason the bar descriptions and characters were particularly effective.
My friend from East Palestine took a video of the water in a creek that runs outside his house. The water is rainbow like an oil spill. This was yesterday. Whatever they combusted and dispersed, it's very much still there and I sure wouldn't want to be drinking that water.
Why guess? According to e.g. https://www.makeuseof.com/browser-windows-macos-chromeos-use... Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Edge are all within about 10% of each other.
I've been using the extension on Firefox for years. Their browser context menu for blocking individual HTML elements has been really handy for the more aggressive AD-heavy sites, though I sometimes miss uMatrix's fine-grained controls.

On the plus side, I can't recall the last time I needed to disable the extension to get a site to work; I'm wondering if it's due to the ad networks still being able to ping back despite the element remaining hidden?
Yeah, a lot of it seems to e a bit of an overreaction. Not sure if the sentiment is HN specific or not, but after reading the article that was on the front page yesterday about ancient people being "stupid with their religious superstitions" I'm not really surprised to see it here.
To any startups here: don't get fancy. Your primary offering is not the login feature, so just go with a standard key/pass/login with a b c

Stackoverflow was cool enough that they could get away with trying something new, even if it made it much more difficult to get new users, but even they transitioned to the standard.

When you are trying to grow your company, don't make me think about the login, don't waste effort teaching me something pointless, let me focus using your product.
Serenity's starting point is very well described:

"SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix."

I think in terms of paradigm, Serenity has a stronger ideology than RedoxOS. It brings BeOS and Mac concepts like a consistent and fully integrated monorepo system and development kits, and a very strong and defined user interface paradigm.

From that perspective I find Redox much less of a paradigm for the end-user, if the main feature is the language the developers used. Orbital does not look remarkable.

The level of productivity of Andreas himself, his videos and the community he managed to built, including growing a few individuals of to major contributors to the point they created a whole browser stack is just outstanding as an open-source case study. Also to me, much more interesting than a programming language used to built it.

Haiku is written in the same language as Serenity, btw.
Both of these examples show GPT not barely approximating outputs (which doesn’t exist in real worlds for these inputs) based on training set but understands algortihms and able to apply them. I don’t believe our brains are doing anything different from that.

It was absolutely crystal clear that a group of people on the council have got it in for him. Obviously things are edited to show him in a favourable light but he was clearly trying to build something that was in the genuine interests of farmers in his local community and they're being absolutely disgraceful about it. Banning him from selling T-Shirts because they're made in China and not the Cotswolds? The bureaucracy in this country feels like it's bordering on Soviet Union territory.

Can I see GPT as some sort of lossy compression?

You feed it loads and loads of data, where the neural net basically compresses it all into the structure and weights.

Then you give it some (un)compressed part, and it gives you the other.
Hmmm I'm sure the tech is modern but the name... evokes thoughts of throwback to 2000s "ph"at beats, gr"ind"r, and trying to be trendy like appending "ly" to a noun for the company name ( https://thenextweb.com/news/whats-startups-name-trend-misspe... ).

I have been using Blazor Server for a project at work.....Honestly, it is so much better than using .Net MVC/Core with js sprinkled in.

I developed stuff in java for android, swift for ios, and now mostly work in c#, SQL, .Net MVC/Core, blazor. Microsoft stack feels pretty good to me. Getting a start up job is a bit difficult, I came across two startups using microsoft stack and only one paid SV money.

C#/.Net does have a pretty stable job market but pay is a bit lower.
> Does it enforce hermecity or deterministic builds or give me tools to accomplish it?

I wouldn't say moon is hermetic, nor are we trying to be. We don't use the sandbox approach for tasks, and run against the original files. For the languages we support, this works best.

As for deterministic, we try to be. We have a "toolchain" where we download languages/tools in the background, and run tasks using these tools. This ensures, at minimum, that the same version/variant of a tool is used across machines.

> In the same vein as those questions how does caching work?

It's content based. We also hash other kinds of inputs depending on the language that is running.

> If the configuration language is YAML how am I expected to implement new behavior? (and other questions)

Our focus right now is on non-compiled languages, primarily web languages, where custom behavior (like Starlark) is not necessary. In the future, this may change.

Not a gazillion tabs but about:telemetry#scalars-tab_search=tab tells me that I have 102 open tabs in Firefox.

I have five virtual desktops, two for me and three for my current three customers. One Firefox window per desktop. The windows in the three customers' desktops have the tabs to the web apps (prod, preprod, dev) I'm working on plus documentation sites, CI, cards, administration sites, etc. That's 10 to 20 tabs per customer. Some of them are pinned. The two windows in mine desktops have some pinned tabs and some stuff that keeps there maybe for a long time until I finally close it. Not a big deal, but 102 tabs in one window would be challenging. I bet somebody has 1,000 of them in one window and will write that it's not a big deal too :-)
Lol! I can’t even use Google anymore because half the screen asks me to sign in even when I’ve repeatedly denied to do so when searching in Safari on iOS. I simply use DDG now.
I'm sure discussion will rapidly turn into only the most correct opinions about religion or capitalism in general.

However, specifically, a form 13-F is a mandatory report for (mostly) mutual funds and similar institutional investors to report in public whatever strategy they're using for investment by dumping a quarterly balance sheet (gross simplification please don't shoot the mostly accurate messenger).
Only mutual funds are not permitted privacy when investing, because I donno. You and I do not have to publish our stock ownership (unless you or I are mutual funds)

There's a lot of static about the 13F because the reporting interval is too long for short term investment and too short for long term investment so as a regulatory tool it's quite useless and eliminating the entire thing wouldn't really change anything in the market for anyone. Its one of those bureaucracy tax things that we can't get rid of because it makes the middlemen money and provides a barrier to entry for smaller operators while not actually providing any useful service to anyone other than some jobs.

Hilariously I can't recall any 13F related stock scams over the past couple decades. Every ponzi or fraud in the last couple decades has been accompanied by completely useless 13F filings. My understanding is this form of busywork is very handy to publicize aggressive regulatory activity while not actually regulating anything. Great job SEC, at making sure Madoff and FTX filed their completely useless 13F forms. Thank God the SEC was busy enforcing 13F filings while ignoring what was going on at FTX.

Part of the justification for the fines being miniscule is there's not really much point to the entire process. Not filing a 13F is right up there with smoking weed WRT being a victimless crime.

I don't understand the point of the 13 shell companies because if they were actually trying to conceal information they'd have created somewhat over 330 shell companies to stay under the $100M reporting limit as I understand the entire portfolio is worth $32B. So clearly they're not "up to no good" or if they are, they're unimaginably incompetent. The press is doing the usual propaganda spin on the shell companies which is pretty funny to the people of some financial sophistication (which is probably approx none of the general public). My guess is the "shell" companies are some kind of legit strategy that failed. If you reorg to try to get outside investment using tighter categories, but your sales team is crap, resulting in minimal new investments, technically that reorg can make you a financial criminal under some weird circumstances. Thanks SEC, doin a great job keeping us safe!
After he left office, Jimmy Carter set back the pace of nuclear arms reduction by quite a bit by telling the Soviets that Ronald Reagan was not serious about reducing them. Despite Carter's meddling, Reagan was eventually able to get a whole class of nuclear weapons abolished, and greatly reduced others.

Carter also sandbagged Clinton. Tapped to go to N Korea to see if there was a way to preserve peace and a non-nuclear Korea, Clinton found out by watching a CNN broadcast that Carter had greatly exceeded his authority and had a deal in hand that would avert war, keep the Kims in power in N Korea, pretty much ensure that N Korea got nukes, and would require the US to pay for it. Clinton was understandably furious.

>Seems pretty high.

This is a similar discrepancy between the technical meaning of language as used in statistics, and the popular usage of language as the layperson understands it when they read it in the news as happens with the term "mass shooting".

When a layperson hears "train derailment" they think of what happened in Ohio. When a layperson hears "mass shooting" they think of what happened at Uvalde.

In actuality, as far as the statistics are concerned, a train derailment is ANY time a train has a wheel that goes off of the track which is not part of a planned maintenance. These are rarely catastrophic.

In actuality, as far as the statistics are concerned, a mass shooting is ANY time a shooting has more than 3 victims, regardless of location. 99% of these are gang shootings in the inner city, in the 1.3% of US counties that make up 90% of all violent crimes. Arguably, these are always catastrophic, but the cause/solution/surrounding issues are vastly different than the popular topic.

As usual, technical language used in the media is misconstrued and misunderstood by non-technical reporters and lay audiences.
I agree, but I also think Christians have precedence to be afraid of government persecution. So, it's a fine line that our forefathers tried to draw.
I like how they protect their trees in the United Kingdom. This approach to environmental preservation should be adopted globally.
Bazel as a taskrunner/build system is to most monorepos as a Pile Driver [1] is to a floorboard nail. It will do everything but it's massive overkill. We are agreed that Nx doesn't measure up, but I wouldn't compare it to Bazel.

Except that chrome and edge are the same thing for the most part, meanwhile ChromeOS desktop is a piece of crap not supported by any major enterprise software.
I should have been more precise "an order of magnitude".

I will be more careful and avoid hyperbole :) in future.
There's a big difference between buying ads for your product, and corrupting the output of another companies website.

This act basically says "Hey, use Edge and you cannot trust what you are looking at is what was transmitted".
Under the bold heading "How to turn it off" with a large picture of the ui telling you how to turn it off has this

> The consumer controls for Memory Saver live at 'chrome://settings/performance,' or, for the UI-inclined, hit the menu, then "More tools," then "Performance." You can turn off the feature entirely or add sites to a list called "always keep these sites active."

so it seems like turning it off is in the cards for this feature
Part of it may be that there’s nothing to link to. I received a toxic welcome in Stack Exchange comments just this morning and checking it now the whole thread is gone as if it never happened.
Ads suck. I block them universally. I understand the desire to “get back at the man”, and I don’t begrudge anyone for doing so. But we have to ask ourselves, what’s the real path forward, away from ads?

If a different model existed where users could pay for sites, I’m confident some would use it. I’m also confident many more would not use it. I expect a lot of users unwittingly want to be able to browse the web ad-free, for free, subsidized by the tech-illiterate and those too lazy to block ads.

We desperately need a better model for funding the internet. I’m aware of the work Brave did, but it doesn’t solve the problem of the internet being funded by ads. It instead brings users into the loop. Donations might work, and the “ad-free” subscription tier products seem sustainable. However, at scale, paying to waive ads on an individual site-by-site basis seems absurd.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

The piece you are missing is that the $5M figure is not what the SEC "decided," because this was a mutually-agreed settlement, not an SEC-dictated fine. A low figure is not a sign that the SEC is asleep at the wheel so much as a signal of their confidence about taking it to trial.

It's not that mysterious. The Church has "paying a full tithe" as a basic practice of "full membership". Members can use a DAF to pay tithes in stock and save on taxes by not incurring a sale. I know this because I'm an active, tithe-paying member and this was advice that I received from other members. Anyone can set up their own DAF and donate money or securities to it then have the DAF submit the donation to the Church.

I'm not sure that's true, I think it is just an artifact of western society, and in particular our acceptance of mass marketing.

What ruined mail? Marketing. What ruined TV? Marketing. What ruined phones? Marketing. What ruined the web? Marketing. Twice. What ruined search? You get the picture.

Marketing is all about creating a need so that people will buy your shit, and it does that by making you feel insecure, yet entitled. The psychological damage from having our attention constantly hijacked by this shit has caused severe damage to society as a whole over time.
