It does work but it also rarely results in hanging locks, that's with NFSv3 with NLM. Actual data corruption only happened once or twice.

So it's not a super-reliable thing, but when you can't have a real database server or you can only make a network share accessible to the right groups, say, due e.g. organizational dysfunction, then it works, most of the time.
This is what I was told by startup mentors and have come to appreciate as well in my experience.

I would also add that while there is some small risk of someone least copying your idea, it's not necessarily a bad thing. If someone else is doing it, it validates that there is a market. You can also expect that if your idea becomes successful it will be copied at some point.

There's actually much more risk in not learning the practicality of it and refining it by talking to as many people as possible than there is from it being copied.
Love that comic! Totally relevant.
Not sure I'd call Acme a big part of Plan 9, though it does follow the philosophy somewhat. I know folks who use 9front who would rather spend time in the Sam editor than use Acme, and they use 9front as their daily driver system.

But I totally agree with you on the "do something weird" approach to learning and gaining inspiration. Some problems that are hard in some spaces are extremely easy to deal with in others.

I actually do use acme on 9front for a lot of coding tasks in conjunction with sshnet (imagine importing a remote system's network accessibility over ssh - like a lightweight VPN-almost sorta) and sshfs through that sshnet "tunnel".

This gives me a nice code, compile, test cycle that has some "editing" commands that let me jump straight to where failures occur with a single click.

And Acme knows nothing about what it's doing... it simply follows its own basic rules, and the file system underneath is arranged to enable my workflow.
Best code reviews I've participated in were in a CMM 3 shop which was a division of a large corp. There was overarching method to the madness, but as a lowly engineer serving our manufacturing customer it looked more or less like:

1) pair up (from my POV) randomly (not everybody included in this is a coder)

2) (from my POV) flip a coin to decide who picks an item to review

3) pick an item you've touched recently or if there isn't one something you're going to touch in the next week (could be doc, build scripts, other things depending on what your job is; you might adjust your selection depending on your peer's duties and responsibilites, no sense having them review something they will never ever even look at).

4) flip a coin to decide who is going to explain what the code does

5) one person explains what the code does / doc means to the other person; the other person asks clarifying questions

Repeat the above steps weekly.

There was a sheet that was filled out that recorded defects found in categories such as logic, (failure of) abstraction, requirements, doc. We talked about style but there wasn't really an enforced style guide.

It can be uncomfortable at first to talk about somebody else's code or have them explain your code. You learn to listen and have a sense of humor and be patient. Perhaps the most poignant lessons learned had to do with doc in code (generally more is better but watch out for zombie comments) and sometimes the most clever way of doing something isn't worth the potential for misunderstandings. There was usually something which needed more doc! Improving tests was also a common outcome. We did find logic errors occasionally, which would inevitably lead to discussion around improving tests. Requirements issues and abstraction / architecture issues came up infrequently and typically spawned email or a meeting which came later.
> The very fact that they decided to add rounded corners has likely already distracted from kernel work.

The Windows team is so huge that I wouldn't be surprised if the people writing the shell and the people writing the kernel barely know eachother's names.
"I imagine that for people with newer or less strong friendships it must be even harder to manage. "

This is me. I'm at a point where through a series of good luck and risk adverse decisions I have a free flow of cash. I really enjoy getting the opportunity to spend it on others, ill buy coffee, ill buy lunch. I ask for nothing in return as it's my honor to do this for them and I want to set the example of being generous with nothing desired in return. If pressed I say, today I can so allow me to do so. In the future when you can, I'll return the honor and let you buy then.

I also have a friend who again through a series of good decisions is at a good place financially and it's fun for us to try and buy things or meals for each other because we both know each others finances and the joy it brings being able to do this for one another.

Yes, storing is different from displaying though.

In MySQL for example, that's what INET_ATON() and INET_NTOA() are for, to convert between binary and display.

Analogous to storing timestamps but displaying as datetimes in a timezone.
Well its clearly not impossible since there is a whole industry of professionals doing it successfully for the past 2 decades. Salesforce is difficult to implement because it is extremely customizable and Salesforce is effectively completely hands off. It is not a small business product, and government contracts tend to be a race to the bottom for price, which results in poor quality of development.

Obviously every human activity is somehow related to 'the distribution of goods'.

Are these healthcare advancements closely related to either private enterprise or modern globalized logistics? Clearly not, as in many cases they took place without either, due to local conditions. For around half the world these advances took place before shipping containers.

Health education, hygiene and birth control generally rely on the transmission of information and ideas but not of goods. The other three have been successful, in at least some cases, as public goods, advanced outside of the private sector. In many other cases they have happened because of, not despite, local rather than globalized manufacturing and distribution.
"chilling effects" usually refers to when people decide not to share things because of potential legal consequences. For example, if people stop creating or distributing AI art because they don't want to be sued by artists for using their style, that's a chilling effect. Basically the opposite of what you are describing

>Just say 'fuck it' until there's nothing left to scrape other than content also made by AI?

Sounds good to me! There will always be people making free art, and AI will make this much easier.

The thing that I think people are missing is that AI-generated content CAN be used to improve AI models. There is no requirement that the input data is created without AI.

Furthermore, AI-generated content on the internet is not random; it is curated content. Generally speaking people don't post every image they generate with Stable Diffusion, they only post the best images. If you consider engagement metrics and user feedback (upvotes etc), they can be a valuable and useful part of a training set.
No mentions in this thread of biodiversity loss[1], which I've always considered one of the main reasons for vertical farming. We are (and have been) destroying immense swathes of land to make more room for human activities, killing numerous species to their extinction[2] in the process. This increased human land use includes farming.

Now, there are of course other solutions such as reducing meat consumption. I think those should be applied as well. However, the theory of vertical farming is simple: with land area A, you actually get the output of A multiplied by the number of floors, saving the number of floor minus one times A land elsewhere.

Maybe we should tax the externalities, i.e. land use, more, in the same way we tax carbon emissions (at least here in EU). With the externalities properly taken into account, vertical farming could prove to be more economically viable when compared against the highly-tuned competition. Of course, food prices would become higher, but maybe that's required in order to avoid doom.

I wish Apple did something like this with their MLS subscription. I watch quite a lot of sport on delay. All of the games in the Apple MLS Season Pass are available to watch after the game ends, but the screenshot for every game shows the final score!? Why would I want to watch 90mins of a random soccer game to which I already know the result? I won't be renewing.
Mixed feelings... police in the US are woefully/tragically undertrained relative to police in Europe. 3-4 months is typical for a police academy in the US. Plus 6 months or so with a field training officer for basic on-job training.

Compared to 2.5 years of the same in Germany.

College may not be the right answer, but the current system of very little training isn't working.
Ask HN: Is anyone using Amazon Mechanical Turk in 2023?
I've got a couple things, they're pretty simple, but they've improved my life significantly for as simple as they are.

One is an interface for a MIDI controller I use to be able to control the Soundcraft UI16 mixer I use for my desk setup. I'm a bit of an audio nerd, having done pro-am music production, and having a love for broadcasting, and what started as a simple setup to get good quality sound at low latency has now become an audio chain with a teleconferencing audio processor, a headless digital mixer, and several microphones to do acoustic echo cancellation and noise cancellation so I can use an open microphone without headphones.

My mixer, being headless, has no physical controls. From my DJ days, I had a MIDIFighter 3D controller not being used, and a Raspberry Pi without a dedicated task. I was able to write a small bash script to read note information from the controller and send web requests to a Bitfocus Companion server to act as API intermediary between my mixer and the controller. Now, I have physical controls for hardware muting my microphone, and the various computers at my desk. It's effectively a big Elgato Streamdeck for what I use it for, but to be able to upcycle the hardware has been quite nice.

I also was working from home with some long hours, and I wanted to try and improve my sleep schedule. I already use redshifting software (usually what's built into the OS these days, although I used to be a longtime F.lux user), and that's been great, but I also wanted to control monitor brightness by time of day. Giving my eyeballs less light blasted into them has helped me regulate my sleep better. I wrote a small python daemon that can run on Mac or Linux, integrate with native DCC tooling to send control commands to my displays, and gradually adjust the brightness of my monitors based on the time of day. This has also been eternally useful when, being an ops guy, I'm called in during the middle of the night, sit down at my desk to address an outage, and my eyeballs are bombarded with significantly less light, making the pain of adjusting much less difficult to address, and also making falling back asleep after the incident is resolved much easier.
Your articles don't say anything about raising electricity prices for consumers, except to speculate about it. At least the NYT piece recently on Bitcoin mining cited a study saying there was a 5% increase in electricity bills because of Bitcoin mining, even if it was using secret data.

Again, I would point out (not for you since your reasoning is clearly motivated, but for anyone else reading it) that Bitcoin miners overwhelmingly use electricity that would go to no other use, and thus is incredibly cheap, and would naturally be expected to have little to no effect on average electricity bills.

The modern phone system is so shitty that it boggles the mind. Technologically, we are quite capable of building out a comms system that is resistant to spam calls, resistant to number spoofing, has real ID instead of some idiotic number, etc... I guess it's just yet another one of those things that will have to get REALLY bad before we actually do something about it.
A little bit late to the conversation, but my way of looking at the lists is:

A2 - Can survive in the country (get where you need to go, order food, etc.) but will have a lot of trouble in casual conversation.

B2 - Conversationally fluent. In addition to the requirements of A2, can have talk with strangers about daily life as long as they want to chat. Will still be completely lost in technical conversations.

C1 - In addition to B2, can take university classes in the language.

Some of the definitions of C2 I've seen are positively absurd. Someone at C2 level is supposed to be able to talk in technical detail about any topic. I've seen standards so high that I don't even think I would qualify as C2 level in my native language in my lifetime.

It's still a legal fiction, but I was mainly referring to patents and copyrights.

Trademark is an anti-fraud measure. Remember I wrote that a free market proscribes fraud?

> what part of buying a John Deere tractor is not a free market negotiation in your definition

Trying to control your use of the product after the sale by abusing IP law.

> Copyright is a property right.

Debatable. It's a modern invention, for example.

> All property rights are abstract definitions that don't exist outside our minds

Property rights (like the rights to life and liberty) are inalienable and are properties of our minds. They are not fictions.

> I strongly disagree that there is any consensus about how a "free market" is defined

is more or less aligned with what I wrote. If you google "define free market" you'll find consistency.
We have pet chickens that we close up every night. I built a door to let us open and close the chicken run from a web page. The door slides horizontally and is driven by a cheap electric drill motor with an all thread rod, which acts as a worm gear, and is controlled by a rpi.
I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but I don't like how you're going after urban living. I can rewrite what you've written, but from an urbanist perspective regarding transportation sustainability:

Rural living has taken people away from one another, so there is an illusion that we don't have to pay the true costs of travel. People growing up in towns expect cars and on-demand access to roads and gasoline and airports... if you have the money for it.

The idea that if you want to go to a friend's house you need to walk or bike there is an alien ideas. (Kids think we travel in cars, not on foot). How simple is that, riding a bike through your neighborhood? Yet, now we have marketing that plays into that illusion, like hybrids and EV cars and "eco-conscious" airlines and it misses the point. When I personally walk, bike, or take the train to my destination, I am directly participating in a sustainable transit network.

There is no way forward for our civilization to “scale” in a way that maintains that illusion of on-demand-travel. It’s how we view the world, and our way of life that needs to change.
I was running the lightshow for a medium sized nightclub and ended up building a custom React renderer that would declaratively control all of the lighting fixtures on the dance floor, strobes and smoke machines included. The entire show was controlled with various MIDI controllers (similar to Launchpads) which also had their button grid programmed using React.

It was suddenly very intuitive to build user interfaces on a button grid MIDI controller using standard React design patterns, not to mention the actual light shows being implemented as React components.
These look exactly the same as the ones by firms that became successful!

That's just cursed.
The VRAM requirements are higher (14GB) so lots of things that can do SD won’t do this with thr existing toolchain. But some of that is “aftermarket” SD optimization, and this maybe could see some of that, too.

But there are consumer cards with 14GB+ VRAM, so its not, even before optimization, out of reach of consumer hardware.

Show HN: Runnable – Build user-facing internal workflows without writing UI code
Would love to share a new open-source project I've been working on - Runnable.

Runnable is a framework to build user-facing admin-like workflows with ease, while keeping operations internal. No need to setup REST or GraphQL for internal applications.

There are other similar tools out there that have comparable features, but Runnable is fully open-source and is much easier to set up (due to its simplicity). For example, it does not require a DB or even it's own server. There is an option to use Runnable as a library or as a standalone web-socket server.

Site here: https://getrunnable.com/

You can demo Runnable here https://demo.getrunnable.com/admin/login and login with any Google creds.

Open to feedback and feature requests.
“I believe that the massive usage of AI will cause people to stop thinking and using their minds and the resulting havoc is unthinkable”

Immediate utility aside that’s a probable prediction by the author though.

If that were true then the stock price wouldn't have tanked 50% today, IMO. FRB is going into receivership in about five hours, bet.
Most likely not https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.11156

tl;dr - it's highly unreliable to detect them and because of the risk of false-positives it's not likely a good idea to rely on it.

IMO the only way forward is a reputation based system.

Also moving forward identity verification might have to be cryptographic (IM NOT SAYING CRYPTOCURRENCY) because impersonating text/video/voice convincingly is becoming doable for home users.

Well, as described in the article, the business (not the PE management company) is liable for the debts while the PE company rakes in fees (from the business to the PE company) as the business flounders.

So, if I (as a PE company) buy a hospital for say 5B. Have it take out 3B in loans, sells 3B of assets, and pay the me (as the PE company) 6B in management fees I'll come out 1B ahead. The hospital is technically 1B in the hole but when it declares bankruptcy I don't have to bail it out, the debt is just wiped and I get to keep the 1B.

Afaik, not talked about in the article but you can also treat companies as a reverse annuity. Take out a huge loan against the companies future revenue and use that money now. Of course if the company goes bankrupt in the process you get to keep it because it's your (PE companies's) money and not the companies.
There's more to it than just anti-fingerprinting. There's also some other fingerprinting going on, and I think there may be some kind of IP reputation system that influences these prompts as well. I've put privacy protections up to max but never see Cloudflare prompts.

I see them using some VPNs and using Tor, but that makes sense, because that's super close to the type of traffic that these filters were designed to block.

I suspect people behind CGNAT and other such technologies may be flagged as bots because one of their peers is tainting their IP address' reputation, or maybe something else is going on on a network level (i.e. the ISP doesn't filter traffic properly and botnets are spoofing source IPs from within the ISPs network?).
The odd thing is I haven't heard a single one of these startups target the luxury market. What you say makes a lot of sense.
I don't use these tools, due to privacy concerns. Once there is a capable offline model, I will be open to give it a try.

I'd still much rather store something that can be indexed in a btree than something where you have to always call a function on and do full table scans. Of course, before displaying to the user you'd use long2ip again (or the database equivalent you mentioned; I usually avoid doing unnecessary computations on the database and, instead, let the application handle display logic).
Astounding to me how deep that movie was for a kids movie, how DIFFERENT it is from the types of morals and values that are pushed in modern films, and how well it holds up today.
