TBH, I love BSL licenses. You can use it as you want for free, except being a competitor, and there is a high chance of a sustainable business model. (What benefit do you expect if the company goes bankrupt?) Despite the unpopular opinion, you have free and easy access to the code, so it is open source in the sense of words. Just not in the sense that you can steal their business like AWS does. Feel free to start a similar project, invest your time and money, and make it available under whatever license you want.
How would it break existing code?
i love and daily-drive fish, but i don’t think fish does everything fzf does. did you stop reading the article at ctrl-r?
I wonder if this will affect the YouTube channel I love, Chris and Jordan!

just reading the petapixel article: it does :(
The most interesting thing for me in this is the article implies that they offer globally distributed consensus. Not sure if this is their actual offering too, but the example of NYC and Signapore implies this. While reads would be fine, the latency for writes could be atleast 2*250ms (roughly the speed between furthest AWS regions). I can still see this useful for applications that require strong consistency and global distribution, but likely a niche. Would be real interesting to see some actual numbers!
Dpreview.com died when they got taken over by Amazon. Maybe the forums were worthwhile for a while after that, but the main site sure wasn't. Bigcorps just don't get what makes their acquisition targets tick.

And it's not the first time that a niche-expertise site was killed by a conglomerate. I'm still pretty salty about Google strangling Zagat, to mention just one similar case.
Exactly, and the moats largely boil down to: "Why is there no Open Source replacing for Google Search?"

Big AI's advantage is still being made. Every time a user hits "Feedback" they're fine-tuning this proprietary model. You can absolutely make an Open Source model with enough compute, but if it is only e.g. "95%" good relative to the paid one at "97%" or "98%" are you going to prioritize it? How many of you use Google because it is 2% better than Bing for example?
I think you guys are trolling by pushing your delusional idea of labor union in tech, where people one the same team sometimes don't agree and argue about the tiniest of things like the choice of framework or programming language.

I frankly dont see this idea getting any traction
how would an intro course even get into these topics? Like, is week 1 here's a variable and a for loop, week 2 pointers, week 3 here's a semaphore?

Cool stuff! Excited to see where this goes
I'm pretty sure ChatGPT was immediately available in Germany.
This sounds weird to me, I've paid for quite a few large construction projects and they are always fixed-bid contracts. I've never borne the cost of a mistake made by contractors. Everything that has additional cost is strictly controlled by change order requests, to the point of being extremely annoying. Maybe it's personal preference for fixed-bid contracts, but I've never heard of a large hotel, hospital, or other large contract be time-and-material based.
Reminds me of when the Google Voice iOS account switcher would "trap" you in an account of an unsupported country, with the only recourse being re-installing the app and taking care to never accidentally switch to that account again (which can easily happen with the "swipe to fast switch" gesture on the account icons).
>So you're saying they might be incompetent enough for their estimation to be off by 50x?

Not sure about incompetence, it's just a very hard problem. Sam Altman's estimations for ChatGPT were off by 10x, for reference. Apparently some employees thought it would be a total flop that would barely make the last page of major newspapers.

> You're also saying Google, _a cloud computing provider selling access to A100s_, can't scale this dynamically?

I'm saying that Google can not acquire enormous quantities of A100s overnight, yes.
Yeah, but it's Google. Don't they have employees to think a bit and check the possible scenarios?

It's kind of obvious that some people have multiple accounts and not being able to switch right there is sickening.
> ... but some things have an impact on people's quality of life: nutrition, healthcare, and psychological well-being.

I would perhaps classify that as "immediate" impact, not "lack of impact".

Number theory has driven computer science, calculus, statistics, and so on.

CS, calculus, stats... they all drive (for example) "nutrition". For example, how do you know what a "vitamin" is? How do you measure it? How do you quantify it's effects on the body (and mind)? A whackload of analysis DEPENDS on number theory for us to understand almost everything about the natural world!
This is rather nebulous, but I feel like the environmentalist's response of "there is no away" to things being "thrown away" is relevant here. The derivative market is not an "away" into which unlimited amounts of risk can be dumped. Everyone would clearly like the world to be set up so that it's only the richest and least deserving that take losses in a crisis, but that's not how it works and may not even be possible.

We'd prefer any derivatives crisis to blow up only some unloved hedge funds, fly by night banks, and dumb sovereign wealth funds, but it turns out they keep selling on risky assets to unsophisticated investors. Like interest rate swaps.

That (re-paving 20-30 meters of a walkway) is a tiny project, it has nothing to do with the complexities of large projects (which are the theme of the article).

On these tiny projects, usually the difference between what a public administration and a private can do is only the bureaucracy involved which is a lot for the public and very little for a private firm.

This is the Willie Brown approach:

“News that the Transbay Terminal is something like $300 million over budget should not come as a shock to anyone. We always knew the initial estimate was way under the real cost. Just like we never had a real cost for the Central Subway or the Bay Bridge or any other massive construction project.

So get off it. In the world of civic projects, the first budget is really just a down payment. If people knew the real cost from the start, nothing would ever be approved. The idea is to get going. Start digging a hole and make it so big, there's no alternative to coming up with the money to fill it in.”
Banks hold to maturity. There is no bag.
What happens if they solve the captcha? If a captcha service costs $0.02 per 1000 captchas that means they can post. That means it costs $10 to post a spam message every minute for an entire year if they get banned after every post. If you want to annoy some site owner that would be an easy way to do so.

Reminds of the Navy Pier Flyover in Chicago, a half-mile long bicycle/pedestrian bridge that took seven years and $64 million to construct[1].

Not saying that this project was simple by any means, but why did it take seven years to finish? For comparison, the Sears Tower, arguably Chicago's most iconic building and at one time the world's tallest building, only took four years to complete.

> could you please explain a little what kind of "configuration isolation" you mean?

It's been a while so I don't have the whole list off the top of my head, but there are several configuration files that live in $HOME by default unless you set SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG=1. Those files can e.g., list compilers and software packages, if I recall, among various other settings.

> like what for example?

I was trying to follow someone's recipe for building something with Spack. I hit some sort of compiler error (sorry, it's been too long, don't remember). And the solution they suggested was to modify compilers.yml by hand to set various things. (Something about setting the right paths for using Cray's compiler wrappers with rocmcc...) That and I had to fuss with packages.yml to configure the system MPI. I remember trying to figure out how use "spack config set" to configure these files automatically, but the syntax was (a) completely undocumented and (b) not actually powerful enough in practice to configure either of those files. So I gave up on that, set SPACK_DISABLE_LOCAL_CONFIG and just saved the modified yaml files into my repository so that I can at least recover my settings if I need them in the future.

For advanced use cases, it seems like you basically need to modify these yaml files to get anything done, but the amount of documentation and support for doing this automatically is really lacking. (And the idea that you're supposed to require every user to do this manually is even more insane.)
Well yeah and I think the main difference is that MMT ( and it has been called chartalism as well) recognizes that money derives it value from the state via the imposition of taxes at the barrel of a gun ( you goto jail if you don't pay). So money, at the federal level, ( and there is broad money which is money at the bank level) is essentially a tax liability. Therefore in order to provision itself, the state (feds), must first spend money into existence before collecting taxes as a point of logic. Therefore federal deficits are a necessity . The only question is how big ? And , given the imposition of taxes, the private sector is unemployed in the currency in which the tax is levied, so it must make itself available for employment in order to pay taxes. Thats how the government provisions itself. And you can say the government causes unemployment when it taxes and should therefore as a social goal, guarantee work to anyone at a living wake. So called Job guarantee, which MMT thinks is better than an income guarantee. There rest of the economy you build up from there. Its gets more complicated when you factor in banking and bank money which is the form of money that makes up 90% + of the money supply.

Very sad. I remember how happy and impressed I was when I first visited this site many years ago. It was a true pearl hidden among all the low-quality links that searching for "camera reviews" produced.
Ya essentially there were schools super underperforming, and when that happens they get a boost of cash to try crazy shit, and if it doesn’t work within X amount of time they shut the schools down.

The school boards met, hired my group to try to apply some AI

With Watson we put in every known scholarly article about test score performance

We asked it “How can I get students test scores up at these schools”

Watson was like “try x,y, … free transportation to after school programs, based on expected volume save money using vans instead of busses. In the failing schools, none are near a subway. These research papers have shown x% lift in test scores when transportation options were accessible”

And that surprisingly stupid answer was absolutely accurate. The failing schools turned out to have low participation in after school programs, and a large part was the kids had no way to get home
I worked in state government and saw this all the time. Small projects were done in house but above a certain size they were always contracted out. I don’t know if this was political (general privatization push) or practical (we don’t have the in house expertise).
Thank you, RJB - the effect is bidirectional. The work of so many people, building cool things, continues to have a real impact on my life.

Why would this be a signal of right vs left? If I tweet any conspiracy theory, that makes me far-right? Are all lemurians or flat earthers far right?
I think DragonflyBSD has been production ready for some time.
If the alternatives had broader appeal, they would be more popular. However at this juncture, they don't. Ads mean free stuff. Ad blockers mean better free stuff. Academic arguments about externalities will be brushed away because "free stuff".

What you're looking for is a regulatory solution. E.g. people will not individually choose a lower carbon lifestyle in sufficient numbers to reverse/slow climate change. You need to actively discourage it by policy.
What nonsense. Would you have even heard of this paper if not for Quanta?

Also, no mathematician or computer scientist I know has anything negative to say about Quanta.
Loom is useful as an underlying mechanism for an IO monad. What I mean is that Java as language still lacks important features so they have to deliver half-baked things like that "structured concurrency". From my point of view these new abstractions are evil - the better ones were out there for a while.
I said that,and you're missing the point. We don't need to understand the models to be able to evaluate the output manually.
I think article is suggesting that we might entertain the idea that raising interest rates, although effective in reducing inflation, has some rather nasty side effects and there might be other ways we might control inflation/deflation in addition to monetary policy.
It generated some (incorrect) code for me. Just ask!
UBI isn't needed. Instead of distributing profits, wealth can also be distributed by making expensive things cheap. Value is relative after all.
Impressive how many companies are stuck on quite old java versions. We are a core API for payments services, and we need to force our customers to upgrade to newer Java versions as most of them don't support newer encriptyion protocols

High prices for a product means there is an incentive to produce more of it.

Obfuscating the true value of something discourages new production, so California remains stupid.
Ok, but what's the use of this data set? Like how does this improve something in the world?

Psychological well being is definitely improved if people could work on something they like and get praised/rewarded for it. And I believe that is way people could get interested in something. Best engineers I know of, had got into their field because they are driven by solving problem just for the sake of it.
Please.

One look at Norway tells me this is malarky.

If Norway can have such a stable economy and society, why can't the rest of the world?

What have they figured out that has eluded everyone else?
Good point. My goal was definitely just getting to an output that satisfied me as a reader, but there are certainly people out there with more refined aesthetic sensibilities that are going to spot the places I fell down.

The part that seemed hardest to get just right with CSS was text justification. I can specify inter-word justification, but there are cases where getting the spacing just right is impossible without breaking a long word using a hyphen. As far as I can tell, there's no programmatic way to do this with just CSS.

I addressed widows and orphans in my ePub layout, but for some reason forgot it in the print layout (d'oh). The nice thing about print on demand is it's easy to make updates, which I will. So thanks for pointing that one out! I'll also read up on using a baseline grid, I suspect CSS will work fine for that, since my content is all text with little variation between sizes.
> If your product or service is accessible to EU citizens, in the EU market, then you need to abide by the laws of the EU

It's not that simple though.

If I offer a website in the US, I can collect the info of anyone that visit it as long as I am not breaking US law.

If the EU doesn't like that, then they can block my site.

They claim though that I am subject to their law if I harness the data of Europeans.

There's a lot of different oils you can cook with though. Including animal fats.

Rice has many suppliers and a couple types, but if that's not enough, other grains are available. If the cost of rice has gone up, some of those other options look more appealing.

I understand this doesn't help if you're already at the maximum cal/$ and now those items are more expensive. But in that case, the problem isn't there's no substitute, the problem is there's no affordable substitute.

Fixing the price of rice, so that people with low income can afford it doesn't work when there's low supply, either though. In that case, they can afford it, if it's in the shop, but chances are it will be out of stock. And you still have the hard/impossible problem of how do I eat when I can't afford food?
> * Whereas AI was a hand-wavey marketing term in the past, it's now the real deal and provides actual value to the end user.

I agree. A better plan could be for our leaders to explain (especially to other nations) how Russia's special military operation is leading to inflation, to unite more countries against them. In the meantime, we should incentivize new local sources of nitrogen fertilizer.
Major bummer. What a great resource.
> This is blogspam

Blogspam from where?
Ah, but people cast it anyway
And in that case now AI is showing how little innovation it creates by running an abysmal marketing campaign trained on how humans a majority of corporations have historically run campaigns.
Shame is your word, but we do need to have a voice of reason telling people that cosmetic surgery is stupid, regardless of your reasons. Undergoing actual surgery can kill you and when used for emotional reasons generally doesn't produce the results you want anyways.

And yes, all cosmetic surgery. I know someone who almost died from complications from a simple facelift.

There's an industry pushing these useless surgeries, and of course hostile communities (pro-ana, etc) pushing people into them or into the mental illness that makes them attractive. The more people who speak out about the need to modify yourself to be happy, the better.
Hasn't this been a problem for years? How have they not fixed this?
