They could just use some google name that clearly implies it's not a "main" (long-term) product, eg. "Google Labs", "Google Beta", etc. too, so you clearly know that it's a "toy" that might not exist anymore very soon. If they use eg. "Aviato" brand for some new product, people will expect more... and then get burned.. again.

At the start up I work at [0], we use an open source library I developed to run hydraulic models of water networks in JavaScript [1].

A hydraulic model may be between 1-10MB and the simulation results can end up being 100+MB of time series data.

Other vendors with proprietary engines have to scale up servers to run their simulation engineers and will store and serve up results from a database.

Having everything done locally means we only have to store a static file and offload the simulation to the client.

Because we've architected it this way our hosting costs are low and users generally have faster access to results (assuming they're running a moderately decent machine)

Haven't we been here before? Remember when Big Sugar "hired" a couple Harvard profs to makes sure fat got the dietary blame and not sugar?

That said, perhaps one "average" sized bowl of ice cream (i.e. milk and sugar) *on its own* might have some benefit. The problem is, the other meals and main courses are littered with sugar, HFC, salt, additives, etc. Adding ice cream to a bad diet / lifestyle isn't going to fix anything. There's no secret about this.

The pricing is listed in the "Single Sign-On (SAML 2.0)" row on the pricing page: https://supabase.com/pricing

It's available on the Pro Tier. You get 50 free users, then $0.015 per additional MAU. We always aim for simple, transparent, and pricing - we're hoping this is a good balance.

And just to be clear, this is for building SSO for your own apps, this is not SSO for the supabase platform (which we're still figuring out pricing for, and yes - we're well aware of the SSO Tax).
The eye deflection required to view the speed on a Tesla is comparable to that required to view it on most cars. You just have to flick right rather than down. And that's an easier, more natural deflection for humans -- there's a reason that TV's and movie screens are wider than they are tall.

Now if you were complaining about Tesla's dearth of physical buttons you wouldn't get any argument from me...

> Look COVID proved that humans REALLY do not need to work. Like seriously, if everyone stopped working tomorrow it would be FINE.

I know you're probably being exaggerative in this statement but to add some clarity: COVID proved that most people's jobs are pointless (more or less), however, there's maybe like 10-15% of the workforce that if they didn't work, everything would come crumbling down and society would fall apart. Examples we saw during COVID: Medical staff (nurses, doctors, EMTs), truck drivers, train operators, agricultural workers, electricians & energy workers at power plants, waste management workers, construction workers, various retail employees (grocery store, pharmacies).

As to your point, humans with copious free time leads to civil unrest - so the fact that 80+% of people's jobs aren't critical to the functioning of the country is quite concerning - especially now with the recent advances in AI. Another concerning thing is that countries with high unemployment rates (20%+) typically have revolutions or similar. We've also never seen what 80% unemployment (or even 50%) looks like in a country not during a time of war or during a natural disaster. During those times extreme unemployment rates are seen as temporary by the population, whereas, with unemployment caused by AI - it won't be viewed as temporary so I think it'll spark a revolution pretty quickly because people won't see a light at the end of the tunnel and immediately call for change.

I'm distinctly looking at it from an application point of view right now, SSO just made Supabase very attractive, as well as the SOC Type 2 certification recently announced (yesterday iirc). These were hurdles for our customers, so I'm checking this out with great interest.

Just guessing, but the legal situation in Germany is perfectly clear: You are free to download any content from streaming platforms as long as it is not an "obvious illegal source". Youtube being a subcompany of Google/Alphabet clearly does not qualify as "obviously illegal". The catch is, that it is still illegal in Germany to bypass copy-protecting measures. I.e. if you would rip a Netflix stream that uses Widivine/DRM, that would be illegal. I think this is the argument they used in this court case, although I was not aware that youtube videos use browser DRM.
As soon as I saw the reported murder I figured it was a business partner who felt scorned, but then HN narrative continued for a full week about the lack of safety in SF. While things might be bad, random murders by strangers are still a rarity compared to targeted killings.
I would think that there are many dialects, but they share a common core. Common Lisp is just one. Others would be Emacs Lisp, Visual Lisp, Interlisp, Standard Lisp, ISLisp (which is an ISO standardized Lisp). Something like Janet is further away, given that it is not a 'List Processor' - it does not use linked lists as a core data structure. It would be more a 'Maps Processor'. Rounded parentheses are neither sufficient nor necessary to be a 'real Lisp'. In a wider definition JavaScript is a Lisp. Maybe, but IMHO it is not very helpful to and it's not the most important categorisation for it. Personally I would also think that a language is not less useful/interesting when not labelled as core Lisp. A label does not make a language 'better' or 'worse', it just makes clear what to expect.

> often don't bother to explore the value propositions of the newer dialects

There are a lot of languages I would find interesting, besides those that one might or might not label as 'Lisp': Prolog, Erlang, Julia, Rust, OCAML, ...

In terms of terraflops, AWS likely has the largest GPU compute capacity out there, and they could use idle GPU capacity to train their models, and Anthorpic has some top tier researchers building it. Give it time.
Something I never understood is why not create new products under a different brand name (something not Google associated), try the idea out, and they end up working move them under the Google brand. I feel that would allow the company to continue to experiment with product ideas without damaging their main brand image. Or is that just a naïve take from somewhere who knows nothing about branding and marketing?

>Unless I'm being more than naive and we the users are quite LITERALLY sold out to advertisers.

Yes.

Because when you can read every email and store it for data analysis focused on "targeted" ads, you can charge your customers (that's the advertisers, in case you thought it was gmail users) more when they invade your privacy.

Stadia is (or rather, was) chump change[0] at best, and it's a lot harder to spy on everything someone does online when they're just playing games. And pausing game play to show you ads...well, that would certainly never fly.

Remember, Alphabet exists to generate profit for their shareholders -- not to make cool stuff or make their product^W users happy.

If flooding every gmail user's inbox with Goatse[1] every six minutes would increase revenue (and/or stock price), a billion people would be intimately familiar with a stranger's rectum. And GOOG would laugh all the way to the bank.

Actually, many western number systems have traces from base 20. Just consider how you have names for numbers up until 20.

In Danish, the way we name numbers are heavily inspired by French, which also exhibit traces from base 20.

The name in Danish for 60 and 80 in modern Danish are "tre(d)s" and "firs", respectively. These are shortened forms of "tredsindstyvende" and "firsindstyvende" used historically, literally meaning "3 times 20" and "4 times 20", respectively. The number for 50 is "halvtreds" - derived from "half way to treds (60)" - meaning half way (when the "way" is 20 long) between 40 and 60.

In french 80 is quatre-vingt (4-20).

If anything, arguably our common system in which we have named numbers up until 20 (i.e. base-20) and then shift to base-10 for numbers above 20 is illogical.

With Bedrock, Amazon enters the generative AI race
“Decided that it’s fine to exploit it for optimisation tricks” is a poor characterisation. The reality is, if you define particular behaviours you will harm performance in some cases. If you define how something in particular should happen, then all architectures will need to implement that, regardless of their underlying semantics.

eg. C leaves the case of exceeding the size of an int undefined. In most cases it has a predictable effect on modern, mostly similar architectures but that is by no means guaranteed, and forcing an architecture to calculate overflow a particular way seems like a negative.

That being said, everyone has a pet example of a compiler doing some really odd and deep optimisations - I suspect that’s mostly due to successive layers and optimisers adding up to have unexpected effects, rather than a deliberate effort by compiler writers - but I’m no expert on the matter.

> Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal

> A scandal erupted in 2005 regarding Sony BMG's implementation of copy protection measures on about 22 million CDs. When inserted into a computer, the CDs installed one of two pieces of software that provided a form of digital rights management (DRM) by modifying the operating system to interfere with CD copying. Neither program could easily be uninstalled, and they created vulnerabilities that were exploited by unrelated malware. One of the programs would install and "phone home" with reports on the user's private listening habits, even if the user refused its end-user license agreement (EULA), while the other was not mentioned in the EULA at all. Both programs contained code from several pieces of copylefted free software in an apparent infringement of copyright, and configured the operating system to hide the software's existence, leading to both programs being classified as rootkits.

> Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files visible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user and introduced further security vulnerabilities.

> Following public outcry, government investigations and class-action lawsuits in 2005 and 2006, Sony BMG partially addressed the scandal with consumer settlements, a recall of about 10% of the affected CDs and the suspension of CD copy-protection efforts in early 2007.
Just tested myself and you're right. Seems like very bad behavior. Someone with temporary access to your phone could setup whatsapp-web to transfer the key to a PC they control, then remove whatsapp web so there's no longer any devices listed in "linked devices," and still maintain a copy of the key. Doesn't seem like doing this forces any change in device keys.

edit: Maybe I'm missing something in how the web device is provisioned (maybe treating it like a group chat with multiple keys?), but I don't see how it could decrypt messages intended for my phone without just getting a copy of the key
