Perhaps. But it does prevent Latin America (and elsewhere) style military rule.

Instead we get military generals who act more like politicians the more senior they get (proven by study). And it seems that often politicians with little to lose and a lot to prove are often more hawkish than the military around them (Hilary Clinton, Wolfowitz, et al).

But, you know, tradeoffs…
GNU Guix (package manager and OS distro) is a pretty big project, that's fairly recent.
Great questions.

BigQuery reduces storage costs as even before their recent pricing change, the cost per GB [0] is on par with and slightly lower than s3 storage costs [0], which we can use as a estimated market price for data storage. BigQuery makes money off the querying costs, which we take steps to optimize and minimize, with table partitions, caching, and ui design, both client side and server side. These all help to reduce querying costs. Table partitioning also helps to cut per-GB storage costs by half by switching to long-term logical storage after 90 days.

Of course, using blog storage might possibly result in comparable cost, however, relying on blob storage would likely increase the querying costs (in terms of GET requests) as well as complexity to query across multiple stored objects/buckets, as opposed to relying on BQ to handle the querying.

In the long term, we would likely continue using BQ for our platform infrastructure, unless GCP changes their pricing in a way that adversely affects us. When it comes to self-hosting, it would of course depend on how much complexity one would like to take on, and out-sourcing the storage and querying management is a better option in most cases.

We would not rule out such features, but we consider them nice-to-have features and are very far down the priority list. At the moment we're mostly focused on improving integration with the Supabase products and platform. It is actually possible to log stack traces, and is supported out-of-the-box for certain integrations such as the Logflare Logger Backend [2].

Postgres without any extensions is not optimized for columnar storage, and would not be an optimal experience for such large scale data storage and querying. It is also not advisable to use the same production datastore for both your application and your observability, it is better to keep them separate to avoid coupling. If one really wants to use the same Postgres server for everything, there are extensions that allow for Postgres to work as a columnar store, such as citus[3] and timescaledb[4], and we have not ruled out supporting these extensions as Logflare backends.

They are being eclipsed in terms of contributions by the Linux Foundation, AI groups, robotics groups, you name it. There was a lot of squandered potential there.

Stallman has spent the majority of the time arguing pedantically about things he has no control over - for instance he would yell at you for saying "Linux" instead of "GNU-Linux". He outlived the utility of being the FSF leader about 30 years ago and should have passed on the baton then.
Perhaps one can examine and question why the need for satisfaction.

Is it actually necessary to buy into a theory? To belong to an opinion? Is it beneficial?
A lot of those sailboats are smaller boats as well. There are a lot of one-two person sale boats that you can tow behind your car.

They go by my house often and each is much longer than any other truck that is legal)
> Intelligence/consciousness will emerge, maybe?

Extending that: LLM latent spaces are now some 100 000+ dimensional vector spaces. There's a lot of semantic associations you can pack in there by positioning tokens in such space. At this point, I'm increasingly convinced that, with sufficiently high-dimensional latent space, adjacency search is thinking. I also think GPT-4 is already close to be effectively a thinking entity, and it's more limited by lack of "inner loop" and small context window than by the latent space size.

Also, my kids are ~4 and ~2. At times they both remind me of ChatGPT. In particular, I've recently realized that some of their "failure modes" in thinking/reacting, which I could never describe in a short way, seem to perfectly fit the idea of "too small context window".
Like what? can you name one? If this is true, how come the people that study this aren't rich?

This is not surprising in the slightest.

If you are filling out a bug report or other intake request for a team, do you generally follow a pre-defined template to ease their understanding and convey as holistic of information as desired/needed or do you wing it and hope for the best? After all, there are humans on the other side who need to understanding the context and your intent. Why would an LLM be any different in this regard?
> Not because NATO was crowding into his borderlands, which is Putin's story; but because following the collapse of Soviet communism and the USSR, the rump Russia was clearly a state dependent mainly on resource-extraction, which desn't promise a great independent future. Especially with Europe's increasing development of non-fossil energy, earnings from fossil fuel exports could be expected to diminish rapidly.

"Rapidly" but still on a decades scale, which Putin is unlikely to live to. Meanwhile he has forced Europe to look elsewhere for energy and drastically accelerated their plans.

> But why Ukraine? Well, setting aside his deranged opinions about the historic unity of Ukraine and Russia, and the historic destiny of the "Rus", Ukraine was rapidly becoming closer to Europe, and Ukrainians were clearly happy with that prospect. Having a successful, happy fragment of the USSR on his border threatened his control over his own population.

Poland and the Baltics are already on his border, and most of the former Warsaw Pact is already in the EU and happily progressing, with quality of life drastically better than in Russia. I really don't think this excuse works.

Anyone promoting diversity as an end goal in and of itself, especially as a solution to a political organization focused on politics other than race, gender identity, etc. is simply promoting distracting the organization from its real goals. Just like how the schedules for all conferences about various technical subjects become 50%+ "Navel gazing about being X in tech" instead of about, y'know, the tech. The FSF's limited political capital will be more and more wasted on various diversity initiatives instead of their primary goals of promoting software freedom. And unfortunately I think the FSF has already fallen victim to this trend to various extents, but following the author's advice will merely accelerate it.

GPT 3 is nearly three years old at this point, and was pretty capable at generating text. GPT 3.5 brought substantial improvements, but is also over a year old. ChatGPT is much newer, but mostly remarkable for the better interface, the extensive "safety" efforts, and for being free (as in beer) and immediately accessible without waitlist and application process. Actual text generated by it isn't much different from GPT 3.5, especially for the type of longform content you hire a $80/h writer for. ChatGPT was just launched in a way that allows people to easily experiment and create hype.
One way to reconcile the two viewpoints is to find the conditions in which the recommendation is useful and instead of saying:

“everyone can benefit from this therefore everyone should do it”

To

“People who are X and Y can benefit from this and should try it”

Could not agree with you more, it's one thing to say a person is a product of their time and we need leadership to take the same approach however with new modern social viewpoints and diplomatic approaches. RMS is not a proper businessman, and not a social butterfly either, he has many haters whether you agree with what he says or not.

However, it is a complete other thing to say 'we'll fix this with more inclusion, yep, that'll fix it', this is the pinnacle of doing the least amount of effort, just like a convincing leader that use anecdotes to sell their vision..its cheap.
In fairness, much newer frameworks such as pandas do the same ie `df.agg(“sum”)`.

https://tourofrust.com/ is fun. Learning rust has a weird initial learning curve dealing with the aggressive analyzer/compiler and how you have to approach your variables, but after that initial hump it is one of the coziest languages I've used. Having what was initially a bit of a nag, is now a godsend when i'm getting red-squiggles in vscode for a typo in my SQL string for a misnamed column, or a field in my template was removed and so my struct shows how it's now unused.
Rust allows me to mainly only run the application to confirm things work from a business perspective.

For people starting out building stuff in rust - understand that there is a distinction of async code and libraries and can lead to confusing compiler errors if you don't realize there is a distinction. It's simple in hindsight but did cause me to waste hours barking up the wrong trees at first. Other wise just learn about `match` and Result/Option types asap, they're fundamental.

> Reform the leadership. It’s time for Richard Stallman to go.

> We need more leaders of color, women, LGBTQ representation, and others besides.

Stallman is in many ways a problem - but the solution is finding technically and socially competent leadership with a vision that aligns with the core ideologies of the FSF and the ability to lay it out as a coherent long-term plan.

Forced diversity has not ever and will not ever make that sort of thing easier to achieve.

Well, based on your analogy, people unsatisfied with Stallman, should leave the FSF and found their own "church" instead of trying to destroy his image and legacy, or at least to take FSF by force. (I don't have an opinion about Stallman. My comment is just about your analogy).
Maybe it’s dying because it already succeeded in its goals. That’s a good thing. From my myopic perspective, RMS is FSF. And he has changed the discussion around software forever. Now we need another kind of freedom, we feel it but cannot articulate it. And whoever articulates it, I wish them all the best, whether they do so under the banner of FSF or something else. One thing I am almost sure of is that whatever watering down of FSF message, as I feel this article suggests, will not be it.

For the sake of the argument, let's imagine that you fork rust. You'd have to come up with another name for it right?

But since the name it's the only thing that is getting in the way with this new (draft) policy, you wouldn't really have to fork the language and the tooling etc. All you have to do is to just use this new made up name in place of rust (and similarly for cargo) and you've achieved independence with a fraction of the cost.

E.g.

Rust -> Crust
Cargo -> Embargo

> it was logistically impossible.

The importance of logistics for large armies is widely underestimated.

If you abandon your supply base, and try to live of the (enemy's) land, you have to advance continuously and quickly, like Sherman's successful campaign in Georgia and the Carolinas. If you rest for even a day or so, you deplete the available "forage" (i.e. the resources of the civilian population).

If you stick with your supply base, then a large part of your force has to be devoted to defending the supply lines; and those supply lines have to be manned, and consume supplies themselves. In the time before internal combustion engines, it was hard to maintain supply lines for armies larger than about 80,000 men, because the fodder required for horses began to exceed the supplies needed by the soldiers. Putin ran into logistics problems almost immediately; Russia depends internally on railways very heavily, but his army had to de-train at the border and switch to trucks, on narrow roads, lined with forests.

[0]: Rust, RR, Neovim: A perfect debug combination https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35523585
> Say what?!

Maybe it's because R is heavily used by non-programmers, there is this weird belief that R should be easy to grok by anyone with programming experience, and if they don't immediately get it, it must be R's fault. Of the programming languages I've used, R is much closer in terms of changing your view of programming to Haskell and Lisp (a good chunk of R essentially is a Lisp) than most other 'blub' languages [0]

R certainly has quirks, but most of them come from being one of the oldest programming languages out there (considering it is ultimately an open implementation of S which came out in 1976) and so has a lot of programming patterns that may not be familiar for modern programmers.

Not understanding that R is fundamentally a vector based language and what a vector based language is is akin to approaching Haskell and not having any understanding of Functional Programming, finding no for-loops and saying it's a silly language.

If you are someone who is very curious about programming languages and different programming paradigms, and likes doing numeric/statistical computing, I highly recommend approaching R with a very open mind, and being willing to explore it more carefully. As just one example: one of it's multiple object systems is using Generic functions in the same way that Common Lisp's CLOS does. The best example is R's `plot` function which is a generic function dispatching based on the class of the argument. Again this is something that less experienced programmers see as confusing and stupid, whereas someone with a better understanding of the development of OOP will likely find this very interesting.

The organization’s messaging is tone-deaf, ineffective, and myopic.

That's putting it nicely. The FSF's messaging is religious bordering on cultish. Frankly I'm amazed they've accomplished as much as they have despite constantly shaming developers for daring to ask to be paid for their labor.

It's crazy that the FSF only stands up for license violations of the GNU project, not all GPL licensed projects. That's the reason the software freedom conservancy was created in the 1st place.

RMS' management of the GNU project derailed long ago, from him vetoing for his jokes in project he's not involved anymore, going OT & insulting on mailing lists and often threatening GNU maintainers by stating that their project belongs to GNU, not them.
Drew is known to use everything from MIT to AGPL depending on what he thinks serves the given software best (heck, Hare has a rather complex mixture of licenses [1]). I have in the past disagreed with these decisions, but I think pointing out the licensing choice for his website code is a bit of a distraction.

> It's why I don't understand why in the US, the president is also the top military commander. I'm sure they have good advisors and the good ones have done their homework, but it's not their profession in the end.

War is ultimately a political endeavor; the goal of a war is to compel, by use of military force, some sort of political objective. It only makes sense then that the person in charge of directing when and where that military force is used is also the person who is empowered to carry out the political policy of the entire country.

For people who rise to the top of the military from within, every political problem becomes a nail in want of the military hammer for a solution, and thus the default answer to every crisis tends to become war. The Cuban Missile Crisis was defused without a war because both Kennedy and Khrushchev couldn't bring themselves to push the button marked nuclear war, while virtually the entire military establishment was convinced, and forcefully arguing, that the only way out of the situation was to be the first to push that button.
