Layoff is not a verb.
This is scary, but it doesn't surprise me even in the slightest. ChatGPT is useful for so many things that it's extremely tempting to convince yourself that you should trust it.

For example, I was having some issues with my LTO-6 drive recently, and I had to finagle through a bunch of arcane server logs to diagnose it. I had the idea of simply copypasting the logs into ChatGPT and having it look at them, and it quickly summarized the logs and told me what things to look for. It didn't directly solve the problem, but it made the logs 100x more digestible and I was able to figure out my problem. It made a problem that probably would have taken 2-3 hours of Googling take about 20 minutes of finagling.

I'm not doing anything terribly interesting or proprietary on my home server, so I didn't really have any reservations sharing dmesg logs with it, but obviously that might not be the case in a company. Server logs can often have a ton of data that could be useful for a competitor (whether it should be there or not), and someone not paying attention to what they're pasting into ChatGPT could easily expose that data.
The inverse of "startup" is "shutdown."
> Also, we're paying about $200 / month total to store 100TB of data in the cloud, which is hard to beat with other services.

You should expect this to go away soon. I support science researchers and our unlimited storage option is going away in the coming months. Options for purchasing space are limited, and not cheap.
> helm, you're not really using go templates, you're using helm's wrapper around go templates.

Well, that's a tautology when having any contact with golang templates outside of quite literally just importing "text/template" and good luck, as your subsequent comment somehow says and yet misses the point. I draw one's attention to the sibling comment of yet another golang templating gizmo that injects its own cutesy functions with completely random naming into the evaluation namespace
Some are just being hired by competition, some are even being hired overseas [1].

Even if they are not doing it now(?), what makes you think that they will not do so in the future? It's not like your data has an expiration date.

> Dual boiler machines have been a perfectly fine solution to this problem for a very, very long time.

A fine, but expensive and mechanically complex solution. Dual boiler machines generally cost thousands even for small home machines. Commercial dual boiler machines will set you back at least $10-30k, easily.

Besides that, there's the warm up time. Often 30+ minutes on a commercial machine, then the electricity cost of keeping several litres of water and heavy blocks of metal at boiling point too.

It's high time espresso machines got a mechanicals simpler, cheaper, more environmentally friendly update. On the home front, Breville and Decent are doing this, while commercially I think some Ascaso machines use the same tech as Decent (not 100% sure on that though and when I reached out to them about it when considering one of their machines they just told me "work with your local dealer". There's exactly one Ascaso dealer in the country and they don't speak English so that wasn't much help).

Not to dismiss dual boilers or even good heat exchangers. Both of them are beautiful technological designs. But they basically haven't changed since the sixties.
It's also not an all or nothing rule: `type Alias = impl Trait;` will have in effect the same issues that return and argument type inference could have, and I am convinced that the issues around diagnostics caused by type errors involving it can be made almost as clear as E0308 is already today. I also believe that Rust can afford to have type inference in functions, but only for crate-local functions, I wouldn't ever want to see a `pub fn foo(x: _) -> _ {}` be allowed. Your type signatures are a contract. You can have a "gentleman's agreement" within your own project, but you want a signed and notarized contract with everyone else :)

An interesting thing is that for return types all you need is evaluating the body (which is why rustc already suggests the right type when writing `-> _`, it was super-easy to implement), while parameter type inference requires global inference (which requires a full-blown change to the type checker's implementation, not as worth it for a "mere suggestion").
Ctrl-f for fraud reveals three matches that are not related to the charged conduct.
As someone with a 2 year old child, I can attest that these movies sucked. Compare them to, say, Ratatouille, which was made using much more primitive rendering/animation, but the story and voice acting are great (and the graphics still very good), and it's no surprise that no one wants to see them. My child would rather watch the older, better movies 10+ times than one of the new ones even once.
> The first round will begin this week, and managers will soon start to notify affected employees. A second, larger round of layoffs will take place in April, Iger said, with several thousand staffers let go. A third round of layoffs will then occur “before the beginning of the summer” to reach the company’s planned goal of eliminating 7,000 jobs.

For the people at Disney wondering whether they'll get hit in one of the waves of indiscriminate axe swings, sounds less like the happiest place on earth, and more like the anxiety and stress of living under a wicked stepmother.
I was under the impression that the reason that the UI of OKCupid has been radically dumbed down is because it was bought by the Match group who wanted the app to look and act more like the rest of their apps.

Seems like you need to upgrade safari 16.4 on iOS, but other than that it’s basically getting near native push notifications via a friggin PWA! Pretty cool!
This reopened an old wound, what Apple did to DVD Studio Pro. It withered and died with the rest of Apple's pro software suite, and has nothing to replace it. I heard that FCPX can author DVDs, but they're pretty bare-bones and ugly. DVD Studio Pro was powerful enough you could author professional content pretty easily. Had pretty comprehensive programming tools, and was a lot easier to use than Adobe Encore
>I would definitely like to keep some non-existing ideals of fairness and equality in America out of my bedroom and personal life

Don't use American services then? Unless I'm missing something, you don't have to use any online dating platform at all, more so not one that is based in the United States.
Honest question and not trying to disagree with you here. What are the specific customers that Binance had individualized knowledge were assisting in committing crime? I'm curious to see the sources.
I've done hundreds of nodes, all managed to a very low level (I've been to the datacenter and optimized placement of servers within the cabinet to enable shorter cables to the patch panel) which is way beyond what most companies need.

In general it's better to have fewer and more powerful and reliable nodes that you own than to have many disposable small ones, as shared instances just don't work
well and aren't cost-effective.

Cloud in general just makes everything more expensive while removing control. The costs on AWS if paying for three years upfront is the same as buying the hardware outright, except you have little say in what the hardware is and how the infrastructure is set up.
I agree, perhaps I should have emphasized that my point of view is that anyone should back up anything stored on the cloud.

Which I'm glad to know you can at least do with Keychain [1], although I use Bitwarden myself.

Crucially, Turning Red was _not_ released in theatres in most countries due to COVID-19. It may or may not have been a money loser, but there's very little reason to believe executives think it's anything about the movie that made it that way.
I know this is facile, and it's speaking as someone with a lot more enthusiasm about than expertise with Haskell, but whenever I write some toy Haskell code and have to think about "remember to close this file handle before the end of this block" or "make sure not to use this file handle outside this block (because we just used a combinator to close it)", I'm baffled that Rust has mostly figured out that whole class of problem before Haskell
> In no storage system do you ever get away from reasoning about this.

Agreed

This is fair but adding yet another layer only makes things worse

Rest assured that I haven't read a blog post or indeed anything on the topic; in fact I'm shockingly ignorant in general.
> the AGPL license requires that all software connecting with MinIO be 100% open source for you/your users

Indeed, I don't think that's correct. That depends on the definition of "connecting" but I was under the impression that if you use MinIO on a server, the services that connects to MinIO don't need to be open-source. Only the server component that include MinIO need to be, and only if end users are connecting to that component. But correct me if I'm wrong.
No, in this specific case. Read the document the post links to. It has nothing to do with terrorism, regulators are just upset they don't get to control what other people do with their own money.

And if you're supporting universal bans of mixers and other privacy preserving tools as the current government is attempting, then you're part of the problem. I will never support the redistribution of consequences, no matter what kind of patriot act talking points you use to justify it. We can talk about punishing terrorists if it's only about punishing terrorists and not "operating a facility for the trading or processing of swaps without being registered as a swap execution facility" (page 5).
They have a unique interpretation of AGPL, they also seem to think they can retroactively change the license from Apache 2 to AGPL on their old code. So even if WEKA forked the older version of MinIO when it still was Apache they would still violate the license. Which means anyone using MinIO without a commercial license needs to open source their entire application regardless if MinIO itself was modified or not. Well according to MinIO anyway.

This eventually surely lead to a lawsuit where this is tested, but in the meantime I would avoid MinIO at all cost. The commercial license to self host it is minimum $1000 per month for 100TB.

> If you distribute, host or create derivative works of the MinIO software over the network, the GNU AGPL v3 license requires that you also distribute the complete, corresponding source code of the combined work under the same GNU AGPL v3 license. This requirement applies whether or not you modified MinIO.

I just wish for Teams to go away, so I never ever see the link to a teams call in a calendar invite.

Teams is absolutely the leader of the “nobody asked for this” category.
Teams works in the browser, but MAUI doesn't. Also, MAUI didn't exist when Teams was invented, and they had only just acquired the Xamarin company.

MAUI is great, and they should invest more in it. WebView2 and MAUI work together well.

This is probably a good future direction.
Looking forward to AI on chip not too far down the road. As long as we use APIs for the model itself we can't really use it for much.
You could read it as "disney layoffs: 7000 people", I guess.
how is that corruption?
Interesting, my memory of reading about the Svelte magic reactivity was that it was pretty well explained that the only things 'reactive' would be things which were assigned to in the reactive statement.

So if you want to update y on some changes to x, you do

$: y = x

And if you need something more complicated, a transformation perhaps, you put the logic in a function and assign y to the result of that

function parseX(val) { ... }
$: y = parseX(x)
> Apple Passwords on Windows is a good example [...] the experience is entirely unlike what you get on Mac

If you were a Windows user, why would you want an app that acts like a Mac app? Surely the benefit of having a dedicated Windows app is that the experience should be like other Windows apps.
I stumbled on this article by accident some time ago, and I can't recommend it enough.

I'd be interested to hear it appraised by someone whose knowledge of the subject didn't come (primarily) from Wikipedia.
LastPass' entire business model was about protecting passwords, and passwords still got leaked. Most prople want security, not "ability to sue" which is not at all the same thing.
If I walk up to the road crew and tell them the local mob is going to be driving drugs across it the day after completion, are they then complicit when they keep going?
They're still beholden to shareholders, anything that'll get them more money they'll do, and I'm sure showing ads on 1.4 billion active devices isn't just chump change to them.
Oh, I am.
You're right, and I understand that - but you're less likely to get the same result with high temperature, so it will be hard to find correct outputs when using overlap of output.
But combining pieces that look good to you of several outputs is a good way to use it.
Much of the natural language it creates is useful to me as essentially an extended thesaurus, or to make slightly different points I hadn't thought of it emails. It undoubtedly (demonstrably and probably, I'm sure) knows *way* more than any human on Earth, so it's great at teaching people new things. I usually just reword everything slightly that GPTs provide, so it's a *phenomenal* learning tool.
Apple as usual was late to the game supporting Web [Push APIs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API), but I'm glad the day is finally here.

It's been supported on most other browsers and devices for a while now.
They highlight where its performance was improved by the changes made. Are you refuting that?

Today, React can be a wise decision.
This is backwards to human history. marriage within the tribe, caste, religion, etc. was preferred. The “knobs” were set by the families and matchmakers. The “love” marriage is more of an anomaly. Rather I’d say many people can make a relationship work and love is effort, not just “click”.
> Putting “here’s the fields I’m borrowing in the body” into the signature, in order to conform with the Golden Rule, looks very odd.

Do you mean something like this (using destructuring in arguments)?

struct Point {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}

impl Point {
pub fn x_mut(self { &mut x, .. }) -> &mut i32 {
&mut self.x
}

pub fn y_mut(self { &mut y, .. }) -> &mut i32 {
&mut self.y
}

impl Point {
pub fn calculate(&mut self) -> i32 {
let x = self.x_mut();
let y = self.y_mut();

*x * *y
}
}
}

I'd agree that it looks odd, but not very odd. Certainly there are odder syntaxes in Rust ;)
Paragraph 3 (and other parts) of the complaint address the US nexus:

Since the launch of its platform in 2017, Binance has taken a calculated, phased approach to increase its United States presence despite publicly stating its purported intent to “block” or “restrict” customers located in the United States from accessing its platform. Binance’s initial phase of strategically targeting the United States focused on soliciting retail customers. In a later phase, Binance increasingly relied on personnel and vendors in the United States and actively cultivated lucrative and commercially important “VIP” customers, including institutional customers, located in the United States. All the while, Binance, Zhao, and Lim, the platform’s former Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), have each known that Binance’s solicitation of customers located in the United States subjected Binance to registration and regulatory requirements under U.S. law. But Binance, Zhao, and Lim have all chosen to ignore those requirements and undermined Binance’s ineffective compliance program by taking steps to help customers evade Binance’s access controls.

I'm old enough to remember when newspapers reported hackers being banned from using computers.

And IP pirates banned from using the internet. Actually, that one I remember I voted against my local MP after they passed a law to make that the norm.

We don't yet have a social, let alone legal, norm for antisocial use of LLMs; even with social media, government rules are playing catch-up with terms of service, and Facebook is old enough that if it was human it could now vote.

So, yes, likewise computers/internet/social media, being banned from an LLM if it's a monopoly is going to seriously harm people.

But that is likely to be a big "if". The architecture and the the core training data for GPT-3 isn't a secret, and that's already pretty impressive even if lesser than 3.5 and 4.
I'll admit to being a complete heathen and warming milk in the microwave and frothing it with a $10 hand wand before pouring it over my moka pot brewed expression, but I'm happy with my coffee.
Yeah recently at work I created a compose.yml for our kafka pipeline. We have a collector and an enricher which produce to and consume from a kafka topic, respectively. The enricher then runs some functions on the data it consumes and produces to another topic. These services are all super microservicey, and so testing locally outside of docker was difficult (not to mention the PITA that is setting up a zookeeper broker on Windows)

The compose.yml runs everything on a docker network and uses redpanda for the kafka broker. Iteration became SUPER easy. Previously, we were just writing config files locally and uploading them to S3, then restarting the dev instance of whatever we were working on in k8s to re-ingest. This was, as I'm sure you can tell by now, tedious
Alexander the Great started his conquest around 335 bce and made it all the way from Greece, across Persia, and into India. Trade increased, and new greek settlements were set up along the way. There was a big exchange of ideas and culture, including Buddhism being introduced to the West. I think that the exact lineage of a lot of the ideas introduced then has been lost, and it's no longer possible to trace them with great fidelity. But I also think that Indial religion, including Buddhism, has had a great impact on early Western civilization.
His sons did not "turn him in." They were complicit and eventually contacted authorities when their father revealed that the firm was completely bankrupt.

While the sons were never formally charged, they were suspected of involvement. One killed himself and the other died of cancer before the investigation was wrapped up.

Close to two dozen people were eventually charged, many went to jail, and JP Morgan paid $2.6 billion to settle their involvement.

I hesitate to legitimize your reply with my own, but my take was anything but saying Linus does no wrong and in fact I explicitly stated there are things for which LTT/Linus can be legitimately criticized

Your initial post was a vague enough comment that it could easily be taken to be criticizing LTT for giving a "glowing review" as "someone who invested in the product... yikes" etc etc, not just Framework not putting a disclosure. The latter is something I don't actually disagree with. Had your post had that clarity then I doubt we'd have had a disagreement at all

That said, I think the fact that the review occurred prior to the investment make even that disclosure unnecessary.
Yes, definitely take this advice from some random user on HN. Can't possibly go wrong.

> ...but disney+ is a money machine and the can easily double the price.

The very same Disney Plus that lost 2.4M subscribers in Q1[0]?

That doesn't seem like "You could easily double the price" sort of performance. They still have plenty of subscribers, but they're not going "up and to the right" on the subscriber graph anymore.

It's hard to make the case that Disney is doing anything but "dropping flops on a public that doesn't want to see them."

How many years have passed since that time?
Ubuntu Touch OTA 1 Focal release
"Disney’s Direct-to-Consumer revenue for the quarter rose 13%, to $5.3 billion, while its operating loss increased 78% to $1.05 billion"

...

"due to higher content and technology costs at Disney+ (with higher average costs per hour of programming, which included an increased mix of originals) as well as higher content costs and lower ad revenue at Hulu"

Not exactly the money machine I was envisioning!
Because they are completely different business models. If OpenAI decides to become an advertising behemoth then I would show concern. Right now they use your data for training (when they use it).
I was going to ask the same thing. How does Turning Red have a budget of 175 million? Is most of it advertising? Its CGI and I don't remember any celebrity voices in there that would cost that much.

Something about the shots signaled to him “this person gets it”. It’s not that it’s pro level, but it seems possible to multiply what’s already there by time and intensity and get something that is pro.
