Oh man, you're making me put that hat back on.

I suppose that Google going through that exercise would mean that they get market dominance on bot gathering data and anyone not using Chrome Headless would be unable to obtain freebie data. This could enable future features whatever that may be. readjusts hat One future feature could be auto-discovery of Google DNS and Google proxies in GCP so they can learn about new data sources through crowd-sourcing thus making their big-data sets more complete and their machine learning more powerful. Developers could block the proxies or compile them out but as we know most people are too lazy to do this and many won't care.

Another advantage would be that eventually the only bots abusing Google would be bots using their code and they would know how to detect and deal with as they would implement their own open source anti-bot modules in their web servers, load balancers, etc...

There are more obscure ideas but I am doffing the hat before the hat-wraiths sense it.

Writing your own bootloader is an option if you want to play hard level, sure. I did follow that path, at one time https://xnux.eu/p-boot/ for another Pine64 device. ;)

Anyway, I didn't say the things you're criticizing my reply for.
>"The internet is a decentralized collection of autonomous systems (AS) and the primary benefit of this setup isn’t exactly realized afaict, which is multiple paths via different carriers."

The primary benefit if fully-realized and is not about "is multiple paths via different carriers."

An AS is an administrative entity. Route prefixes belong to an AS. All routes with an AS have a common routing policy that is managed by a single entity. I can look up a prefix to find it's AS and then I can look up that AS's routing policies. Here is an example for Tier 1 ISP Spring:

https://www.sprint.net/policies/bgp

I could have single ISP that I buy transit from and I might have multiple links with them. If I want to understand how to take advantage of that for example with traffic engineering then I would look the policies for ISPs AS. I would then use those BGP community attributes on my BGP links to them in order to accomplish my own routing goals.

1. The US did support China's efforts to free themselves from Japan prior to WWII[1]. Which was likely one of the reasons Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

2. The US then proceeded to support China with trade and help integrate them into the Democratic sphere[2]. Which has aided China's current prosperity. Yes - and the West got benefits from that also but it was a 2 way street.

3. Of course Russia has fought wars with China over Manchuria[3] and still holds disputed territory.

Makes perfect sense why China would want to prevent the West from providing similar support for Ukraine (sarcasm). They should at least get something from Russia for it. It is a case of "Show me the money". Once Russia's need disappears so will their overtures to Beijing. Russia appears to be becoming the next North Korea. Maybe that is something China wants? Imagine having a North Korean like puppet the size of Russia where their entire economy exists only because China allows it. Sweet.

I think the benefits far outweigh the downsides. To be frank, I think a big chunk of its problems is that it is not integrated enough.

Then again, my perspective is from someone not originally from Europe, that chose to migrate here and declined job offers from the US even though I would receive considerably more money had I accepted. I have zero regrets, by the way.

So take my opinion as one without the social nuance from someone born here.
Which part? It's public knowledge that Twitter was barely afloat before Musk. Since then most of the pumps (advertisers) keeping water out of the ship have been lost overboard.

Twitter's debt management alone is a billion dollars per month.
I'll never understand the utility of autoplaying videos, especially ones that are barely related or more often completely unrelated (looking at you local and national news websites). Like, is this supposed to just annoy me? Is that annoyance going to make it more likely I'm going to stay on the site, which I'm blocking all the ads on anyways?

It's just absolute cancer.
> The 0 width field tells that the following bit fields should be set on the next atomic entity (char).

This isn't correct since int can't be less than 16-bits. Fields are placed on the nearest natural alignment for the target platform, which might not support unaligned access.

Which countries? Maybe people from those countries were already familiar with US messaging but actually learned something new from chinese propaganda, and so that changed their views more?
This is seriously amazing. Honestly I am baffled.

My children went to a high school in France which is ranked in the national top 3 (the ranking fluctuates between these schools depending on the year and the detailed calculation).

There have never even been a project that was in any way close to the one your children did. Was that a "normal" project, ore one you work on by choice over a few years? Or one you do as part of a club (but holy shit - what club that must be!)

For one our education is way, way too theoretical (and basically useless once you learn ans pass the test) and then when I look at the "projects" they did, they look like kindergarten 2nd year marvels.

Hats off to your children!

EDIT: you should publish this in some competition for children
I would imagine, that in most cases neither. All societies have unspeakable utterances, and any sufficiently advance AI is likely to reflect the cultural speech norms of it's creators/trainers.
It did though. His sister-in-law successfully promoted it after his death, and it was therapeutic for him while he was alive. As the article puts it, without the paintings he would have suffered more.

Contrast that with how much more common it is for people to suffer for their art because of their pretensions.

Also: everyone also has Amazon and WalMart on their phones. For many phones, they come pre-installed. Of course their downloads have plateaued. There's little room for growth when your customer base is already "everyone".
Funny that you chose, of all things possible, the contact list as your example. You can safely assume that competent governments on both sides are aware of most forms of electronic communication, including pstn, email and all major chat services, as well as post, courier and similar services. With cell phone tracking, as well as the extensive video surveillance all over the place, they also have a pretty good idea of face to face communication. If you want to hide a contact from the government you don't disable cloud sync. You use direct radio. Or, if you don't want to attract attention by having said radio, you leave all electronics at home and meet deep in a forest.
it also fiddles with your container's resolv.conf, which can cock stuff up really badly if you are using search domain.
There is no description of the protocol or of its security goals, so I am making some guesses based on a cursory look at the source and what I imagine this might be for.

A single symmetric key is derived for both directions, and there is no checking of nonces, so as far as I can tell any message can be dropped, reordered, or replayed in both directions. (Including replaying message from A to B as if they were from B to A.) This is a bit like using ECB and likely to lead to fun application-specific attacks like [0].

This is very much rolling your own crypto, in a dangerous way. I am on the record as being "against" the "don't roll your own crypto" refrain [1], but mostly because it doesn't work: it should discourage people from publishing hand-rolled protocols such as this, but instead people think it means "don't roll your own primitives" and accept any use of "Ed25519/X25519" as probably secure.

Please read about the Noise framework [2] to get an idea of how much nuance there is to this, and consider using a Go implementation of it [3] instead.

P.S. This kind of issue is also why I maintain that NaCl is not a high-level scheme [4]: this could have used NaCl and have the exact same issues. libsodium has a couple slightly higher-level APIs that could have helped, secretstream [5] and kx [6], but again please use Noise.

That reminds me of Ira Glass' quote about taste: artists know it when they see it.

Or why it's a mystery some folks prefer tabs vs spaces, or recoil from what they consider shoddy code.

Somewhere in the discipline of point, line, and perspective, in the composition of shapes and their organization, is the artifact of amalgamated neurons, to be observed by yet another consciousness.

I wonder if AI art will just help generate more gacha games. And one may wonder, of the limited time left on this planet, what really could we spend it on?

The library of every book contains no meaningful work in the search. The space of all generated art is oblivion.
> anyone who makes a legal claim of copyright infringement

The answer is right there, my emphasis added. YouTube’s internal mechanisms, a la ContentID, are not processes which are a part of the legal system. They’re corporate policies.

It is worth noting that this distinction is irrelevant to this article, however. As this article says this was a DMCA claim. So any potential false claims in this case do carry this potential penalty.
I run it on DO as well. The key is to shift the NextCloud storage to the Spaces Object Storage which is much cheaper.
Humans, but only off the record. It's similar to a thing that already exists in the world. Things that use swear words in their self-description are backed by individuals, not bigcorps. Obviously, this can be subverted, but it seems to have a positive corrolation. See WTFPL.
They cut off access to military drones... drones which will still have access to military satellite data feeds from NATO countries. Yet every video posted on Reddit of commercial drones used by UA soldiers is still obviously using Starlink. Beyond drones it's still a critical asset, probably as much or more important than Javelins / HIMARs.

This is a PR move, since Starlink is trying to deploy globally it doesn't look good when they are supporting a military.

Making it seem like you're ostensibly a civilian org is a wise move, while in practice Starlink remains the #1 technical contribution by a foreign entity supporting the war effort.

Of course, what it actually means IRL won't stop the people looking for a villain and spreading FUD as if they cut off the entire military.
So what if they're different? Your engagement with them still carries that faint undertone of judgement. Just leave it.
> Which is... exactly what you'd have to do with fully open source system anyway, buy a box to store it or pay someone for storage.

Wrong. I'd simply host the video on some device I have sitting around. Storing streamed video isn't hard to do and there are many ways to do it that take little effort. Being forced to pay money for something I already have capability to do is the problem. It's wasteful and makes me happy I did not buy Arlo's product.
That's fine, we can agree to disagree.
The fact that someone can't express their interests doesn't mean they don't have any interests.
FYI, that fat layer is doing nothing to prevent microbial incursion and will turn rancid if left at room temperature not properly sealed. Proper home canning procedures should leave a good, sterile seal though (or just freeze it, which is what I do).
> With 40 billion dollars on the line?

Well sure. Musk risked a lot more than that and almost lost Tesla on the Model3 ramp. He risked a lot more than that on reusable rockets, he's risking a lot more than that on Starlink & Starship.

If you want to do something extremely impactful, you've gotta take big risks.

Playing the safe game is pretty mundane and boring, and to be honest it's not a very exciting way to live, and not a very fast way to improve something.
You're on the right track, but I personally find averages to be not a useful measure...on average.

Corner conditions are where I start to care:

* What is the worst case latency? How long until the work can be done? How long until the work can finish from the point at which it enters the queue?

* What is the worst case number of items in the queue? How large does the queue need to be?

* What is the maximum utilization over some time period with some granularity? How spiky is the workload? A queue is a rate-matching tool. If your input rate exactly equals your output rate at all times, you don't need a queue.

* What is the minimum utilization over some time period? Another view on how spiky the workload is.

Minimums and maximums I find are much more illustrative than averages or even mean-squared-errors. Minimums and maximums bound performance; an average doesn't tell you where your boundary conditions are.

In general you don't want your queue to fully fill up, but like the other poster said, it's some tradeoff between utilization and latency, and the two are diametrically opposed.
You know I hope this is the start of finally normalizing paid subscriptions for social networks, because it means eventually someone may try to build a social network funded purely by subscriptions rather than ads, and then we might finally have simple timelines again that aren’t focused on maximizing user views and retention through algorithms. The result can be a less enraging and addicting experience for users.
Everything that matters, including how much money you have, but more importantly when you and the people you love become sick or die accidentally is governed by chance.

If you think money gets you a pass, maybe recheck your understanding of the issues and the stoic solution. The shallow packaged version produced by Ryan Holiday isn’t a good source
Having experienced American bureaucracy, I find the claim that US institutions have been "willing to investigate systemic dysfunction" completely hilarious.

I think what Palantir means is that American organizations have been faster to adopt big data and centralize decision-making. Having worked for multiple large US businesses, I am not convinced that this leads to "less dysfunction".

Having a few technocrats with some data make all the decisions centrally is just a reinvention of Planned Economy. It didn't work in the USSR and it doesn't work now.

while this would be an effective defense, it isn't an effective legal policy

at the point that the support is ended, the company isn't making any more money on the product, so legal remedies like forbidding its importation or halting its manufacturing would be ineffective; even remedies like fines and injunctions to specific performance might be ineffective if the company no longer exists or no longer exports to your country, or if they've laid off the people who knew how to compile the firmware

so to have an enforceable law you need to require the release (or at least deposit) of the complete corresponding source code up front, not at some future time
Finally, an open-source equivalent to ChatGPT emerging out of the AI euphoria will begin to extinguish the hype out of OpenAI's ChatGPT moat, just like how GPT-3 and DALLE-2 were almost immediately disrupted by open-source models as well.

This (and other open-source AI models), not 'ChatGPT', 'DALLE-2', etc is what will change the AI landscape for everyone, permanently forever.
Twitter had many profitable quarters before Musk bought it, and lots of cash on hand with a lot of runway. It was not dying in any meaningful sense. His changes have only destroyed profitability by substantially reducing advertising revenue.

Same, doing it once out of my own curiosity to see how the corporate machine works.

Not doing it again - seeing first hand how it is due to managerial incompetence more than anything else. The "reward" ratio is just not worth it: if I pull something off; managers will claim its due to their "processes" and "leadership". If I don't pull it off; managers won't promote me.

No win, so... just don't take fake "deadlines" too seriously.

I don’t want to get pulled down this road too far, but this all powerful trans lobby argument angers me a bit. If the trans lobby was so all powerful maybe one of the major 2024 presidential contenders wouldn’t be basing their candidacy partially on bashing them. If the trans lobby was so all powerful maybe less states would be attempting to outright ban them in the guise of banning drag. If the trans lobby was so powerful maybe the comedians they cancel would have to do more than make it part of their bit how “cancelled” they are.

I think there are absolutely social circles where people will look down on you for being what they consider transphobic. And enough people in places of power in companies are of this group that the companies worry, but by the same argument you could place say racial minorities as a sacred caste and I think we all mostly can recognize that that isn’t generally true.
> you can totally sue them for damages, and you'll probably win

Yeah, you can totally sue Disney or Warner Bros if they file a false infringement claim against you. You'll definitely not win unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to go up against their phalanxes of corporate lawyers.

The DMCA doesn't take into account unequal parties.
I think it's simpler than that. No capitalist wants to offend their customers or potential customers, but in a pluralistic society you can't please everybody so you end in awkward situation even though you're just trying to sell energy drinks.

Really, if the project is of no benefit to him he should just drop it. Maybe it will cause some turmoil for developers. If its an important project then people and more importantly companies can contract with him for feature and bug fixes.

Just walk away, don't feel you owe anyone anything with open source. If they value the work they can open their wallet if they absolutely need something done.

Nice find, I like it!
A subdomain like 2002.gu.com would work without introducing changes to URL specifications, with the domain registrar giving control of that subdomain to the owner of that year. But its such a niche case and also domains are probably sold because the old service is being shut down, so it would not work in most cases.

I think an external service like archive.org that also captures redirects, so it can list all shortened URLs for a page, would be the better solution.
Right, someone willing to regularly pay $20/month is probably worth closer to $40/month to potential advertisers.

It probably scales all the way up until $10k/month, which is near the upper limit of what super-luxury brands, that would buy ads online, can earn per customer.

So the curious implication is that such services could be 'free' or $20k/month.

But with a changing advertising market and lower budgets, FB might view the alignment of incentives more beneficial.
Are you sure you're writing from an informed perspective? Galileo holds a LOT of expensive, time-consuming lessons that this project will do well to absorb. Outages are only scratching the surface.

You'll note that I didn't say "Galileo sucks," or "those guys are morons," or that there was no reason to build it. But the fact that it took longer to commission than the original NAVSTAR GPS system doesn't augur well for a Starlink clone. Which, in any event, will probably be so highly regulated and censored that it will be more like an orbital Minitel than a conventional ISP.
Section 230 doesn't apply to copyright infringement claims (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim...). Immunity from copyright infringement claims relies on the DMCA's safe harbor provisions.

When I tried marching cubes and dual contouring against SDFs I ended up with a ton of performance issues that I was unable to resolve in the time I had allotted for experimenting. To get the resolution I needed I ended up with way too many triangles which used a lot of memory. I could later simplify the meshes but given the high number of initial triangles that process was quite slow. What I would like to explore (and hope that someone else does before me) would be a SDF optimized meshing algorithm that would make use of the extra distance and normal information.
> building a truly local-first anything is significantly more complicated than the alternative of "always online" for most domains

It is more complicated. It works best when the user has a distinct data bucket that is exclusively theirs. A note taking app. Personal finance. But they may have multiple devices so syncing is desirable.

This use case is reasonably common and turns out to be relatively simple to do.

If you have shared data between users. If you have a significant amount of data that just requires being online to interact with the system. Then it has pretty minimal benefits over just centralizing the data and it should be avoided to minimize complexity.

Tangential comment - but that Netezza appliance was really cool. I was able to use one early in my career, circa 2008. It had a nice cli query interface similar to psql (maybe it spoke postgres protocol, I don't remember) - and was blazing fast. I ran totally rookie-mistake filled, unoptimized queries on tables w/ billions of rows and got results back in ~seconds. Of course, not so impressive now, but was really impressive 15 years ago!

They had a really wild architecture with FPGAs that, if I remember correctly, sat in between the CPU/disk and was used to offload some of query execution.

It was wildly expensive + expensive to maintain, so the company ended up (unsuccessfully, I think) jumping to Hadoop. Crazy times :)
