Loss leader for products that don't sell? The change to a full open source toolchain for their core products was more or less painless.
Obviously but they should use that metric of resources used vs how small the impact is.
What I have told people, both as a business owner and as an advisor to others is, there's this magical thing you can do to keep employees from moving to other companies. It almost always works. If it doesn't work, you can try the second thing.

Wages and working conditions.

No one wants to hear that because they want a magic piece of paper that makes all problems solved for cheap.
I assume they mean Docker issues an invoice which the company's AP department can then pay by either cutting a check or ACH transfer. At least that's what we had to get all our vendors to start doing when the company I worked for killed off corporate cards and quit letting employees expense things like this.

What an awful take.

Python is 30 years old and back then system packages were more common, that's it. It's been a bumpy ride and I'd prefer if there was a standard manager, but the community has produced some decent ones.

The python community has always tried to make devs happy. Pip has an amazing number of libraries. Virtual envs were included into the standard tools. Pipenv was integrated in the python github organization. The org doesn't hate virtual envs!

> A bank made bad risk management decisions and got zeroed out; all the right incentives not to do that again are there.

This kind of assumes that the risk matrix of an executive is singularly indexed on the long term viability of their institution. But the short term gain of bad behavior is still in full effect. Bonuses for the years up to this crisis have already been paid and were probably inflated based on the banks over performance due to its riskier posture.

And the consequences have been softened. There's a very good chance that the people responsible here have had their guilt assuaged by the reduction in impact. They are probably less likely to become the kinds of pariah that they probably should because while we should always consider decisions in the context they are made, humans seem to always adjust their assessments to final consequences.

I'm in agreement that the decisions here on the part of the government are probably the wisest in this context. But this crisis does hint that perhaps we need to reconsider the structure of this system a bit.
There are efforts like https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa that might further compress it so 65B runs on 32GB machines, 33B and lower would run on 16GB machines, and 13B (minimal useful one seems like) would fit on 8GB -- which is wild and as good as you could hope for.

> Companies don't "believe" things.

This is technically correct. (The best kind of correct, right?)

> They will amorally advocate for whatever is remotely favorable to the company.

This is not (at least, not as universally as you state it).

Companies are legal fictions; they do not act on their own.

People act. People talk. People believe things. People often amorally advocate for whatever they believe will be most favorable for their employer, or for themselves.

People are often wrong.

As companies are made up of many people, those people's beliefs and actions don't always match up, so it's still dangerous to talk too carelessly about a given company "believing" any particular thing without qualifiers.

Any time someone talks about a company "doing something", they obviously mean that the people within the company did those things, and those people's actions are guided by their individual and collective beliefs. They do not suddenly become perfect automata operating solely for the best interests of the company, without bias of their own, and they certainly don't suddenly become perfectly able to determine what will best serve the interests of the company.
There is a Kerbal Space Program mod [1] that adds this to the game. It is hysterically fun to use because it is insanely unbalanced compared to normal space flight requirements. Want to change your orbit 180deg and fly backwards? No problem. Goto any planet the "direct" route? Sure, why not. Take off from the launch pad so fast you'll think the game broke? Not a problem - The Kerbal's don't worry about a little fallout.

No idea how this would ever actually work in reality for manned spaceflight. For unmanned it seems relatively doable (ignoring the entire cost of getting it off the ground and into space first). But for a manned mission? Being subject to 2-4g is one thing, but to have it happen regularly... like a jackhammer almost? Sounds like a really bad trip. You could not do anything while that engine was firing (not that it'd be easy to do something under 2g constant acceleration) without risk of being in the wrong place/position at the wrong time. I don't know what the long terms effects of repeated, assumingly rapid, 2-4g pulsing is on the human body.... but I'd guess it falls under "can't be anything good" category.

Previous communication:

> If you don't upgrade to a paid subscription, Docker will retain your organization data for 30 days, after which it will be subject to deletion. During that period you will maintain access to any of your public images.

New communication:

> We’d also like to clarify that public images will only be removed from Docker Hub if their maintainer decides to delete them. We’re sorry that our initial communications failed to make this clear.

Given these statements directly contradict each other I am a bit surprised this is called clarification. It feels like they changed the actual strategy, not just the communication around it.
I don't think it's fair to call my comment wordplay. The only point that I was making is that if an applicant is unable to perform adequately in the job, it's in the best interest of the applicant and the employer that they not be in the job.

I don't think this is a controversial statement. If such an applicant gets the job, both the applicant and the employer will be unhappy and someone will either have to quit or be fired, which also sucks for all concerned.
"We’d also like to clarify that public images will only be removed from Docker Hub if their maintainer decides to delete them."

Was HN spreading fake news then?
> But if you’re anticipating counter-arguments, this glosses over a pretty important one. Regardless of geography, higher income brackets tend to have outsized influence on prices across all income brackets in that region. The more it deviates from the median, the more it distorts local pricing. All of this “rising tide” might eventually “lift boats”, but it depends where all that new capital is flowing and even in the best cases it doesn’t keep up with price inflation.

Please explain what you mean by this then.

Well, they say they were never actually affected

> We’d also like to clarify that public images will only be removed from Docker Hub if their maintainer decides to delete them.

> Will open source images I rely on get deleted?

> Not by Docker. Public images will only disappear if the maintainer of the image decides to proactively delete it from Docker Hub. If the maintainer takes no action, we will continue to distribute their public images.

People may have thought they were affected, which is what they seem to be apoligising for.
I've sometimes wondered if the click-through ratio to the link should/does factor into ranking stories.
I think this is only a matter of time, though? Like how many years away do you think this is? 1? 2?
It's really misleading though, as it only reflect the owners of the images. Presumably I should count as an affected user if I don't own the image, but try to download it.
The PR folks at my current company are in full panic mode on Linkedin, judging from the passive-aggressive tone of their posts (sometimes very nearly begging customers not to use ChatGPT and friends).

They fully understand that LLMs are stealing lunch money from established information retrieval industry players selling overpriced search algorithms. For a long time, my company was deluded about being protected by insurmountable moats. I'm watching our PR folks going through the five stages of grief very loudly and very publicly on social media (particularly noticeable on Linkedin).

Here's a new trend happening these days. Upon releasing new non-fiction books to the general public, authors are simultaneously offering an LLM-based chatbot box where you can ask the book any question.

There is no good reason this should not work everywhere else, in exactly the same way. Take for example a large retailer who has a large internal knowledge base. Train an LLM on that corpus, ask the knowledge base any question. And retail is a key target market of my company.

Needless to say I'm looking for employment elsewhere.
"Oh no" is my initial reaction.

I can't help but think this is a bad idea for Vultr's paying customers. I hope free users have a separate network and separate physical computers from paying customers.

Employees who were hired remote and have no office within a reasonable distance should absolutely force Amazon to terminate their employment so they can collect unemployment.

Are non-compete one-way in the US?

Here in France we can have them as well but there is a counterpart: if I want to go to a company which is a competitor, my current employer can say no but they have to pay me for that for the time of the non-compete (something like 75% of the salary). This is the law and they have no choice (short of not enforcing it)

> ...then I can understand. What I don't is that there seems to be no use case for which Rust isn't good.

Without knowing what specific comments you've based this observation on, I can only speak in generics but I do think there's some nuance around "Rust is good for this use case" versus "Rust can be used for this use case".

And, from my perspective, it is cool that one can use Rust for everything from "systems" software down the stack to UEFI & embedded realms and up through applications & WASM browser-based projects. (Whilst also acknowledging that one could also say the same for C or C++ or Javascript to varying degrees of integration/complexity.)

My personal experience has been approaching Rust primarily as a replacement for C/C++ where I find it compelling. For me (based on my relative usage over the past year) it's less compelling as a replacement for Python/GDScript for small/quick/hacky projects (primarily due to its compilation & analysis time/overhead) but I can see why for people who have previously worked on larger Python/Javascript projects it might be an attractive option.

One other aspect that I think affects how people relate to/talk about Rust is that there seems to be an express acknowledgement about the humanity of software developers which I'm unaware of existing to the same degree in other programming language communities/culture/history previously.

Any language choice comes with trade-offs and my impression of what you might be seeing is not so much that people think Rust is necessarily the best for all use-cases but that the trade-offs required for each use case are (or have the potential to be) worth it ("good") in exchange for what is gained.

I also respect that the Rust language development community admit they don't always get everything right, and that there's acknowledgement that Rust is neither a perfect language nor the last language and that one thing that Rust does is identify what can improved for "the next language after Rust".
>most cultures do not believe in Intellectual Property the way 'the West' does.

I'd phrase this as "In most cultures, you have no real, legal way of getting back at others taking your intellectual property". They absolutely do recognize, value, and try to protect their own intellectual property. Not believing in it would mean that things are public domain mostly, which is absolutely not the case.

Meanwhile yes, western IP laws have a lot of bullshit going on.
No. It's still the absolute best. And often I will read just the comments on big stories vs. the stories themselves. I never do that on reddit.

Interesting theory, but no; my account is paid, but I'm using third party images that are rather harder to verify.
Do both.

Getting your hands dirty is the best way to understand how something works. Think about all the useless SE and PL work that gets done by folks who never programmed for a living, and how often faculty members in those fields with 10 yoe in industry spend their first few years back in academia just slamming ball after ball way out of the park.

More importantly, $500K gross is $300K net. Times 5 is $1.5, or time 10 is $3M. That's pretty good "fuck you" money. On top which some industry street cred allows new faculty to opt out of a lot of the ridiculous BS that happens in academia. Seen this time and again.

I think the easiest and best path for a fresh NLP phd grad can do right now is find the highest paying industry position, stick it out 5-10 years, then return as a profess of practice and tear it up pre-tenure (or just say f u to the tenure track because who needs tenure when you've got a flush brokerage account?)
Oh I agree entirely, the compensation should match your opportunity in industry. Specifically if you can get an offer for total compensation X and your current employer chooses to say you can't work at that other company, your current employer gets to match X plus say a 20-30% premium to compensate for lost year of experience, lost year of promotions, etc and to try and say "do you really want to inflict this noncompete on people?". Note that you would not be employed by your current/former employer, they are paying you to not work for a competitor but if they require you to do work for them then they're just reseting the non-compete period.

My goal in limiting NCAs would be for employers: "you cannot use non competes to artificially lower employee compensation, as your total cost will be much very expensive"; and for individuals: "if you are subject to an NCA you will actually be compensated for that period".

It would also mean you can do industry standard practice of changing jobs to increase compensation even while subject to an NCA as they would be required to pay you more than the "competitor" if you get an offer and they want to prevent you taking it. Again the goal is to prevent the use of NCAs for wage suppression - the company requiring the NCA would have to be really dedicated to their belief the NCA is needed.

If we're talking about Software, then wow, Microsoft is really treating those game streamers well, because they can use it to play games which they stream.
They did eventually ban gambling streams, so who knows. The trouble, I think, is defining what qualifies as "software porn". Do you start policing what streamers are wearing? Are some activities, like squatting, disallowed? And any definition will probably court controversy, especially because it will overwhelmingly affect female streamers.

The problem with that is Orion is that it is heavy. It only makes sense when launching the whole thing from the ground. Orion has been proposed for interplanetary propulsion since it is pretty efficient. But would need to be convertible from ground-launch to space propulsion. Nuclear rockets are pretty good and safer to launch.

The other problem is that nuclear weapons are expensive. Something like Davy Crockett is 2kg of plutonium, and mid-sized Orion would use 800 to get to orbit. Plutonium is $4000/g which means $6.4 billion to launch Orion. Orion that puts 1600t in orbit. Or 10 Starships which is less as disposable rockets and way less if reuasable.
