They ... do let you do that. Being able to make changes to the code and redistribute your changes is literally the whole point of open source, and the popular licenses don't contain restrictions on making money (nor could they, if they want to fit the Open Source Initiative's definition of open source).

The permissive open-source licenses (MIT, BSD, ...) let you just take the code, make whatever changes you want, package it up into some proprietary product, and sell that product. The only requirements are usually that you maintain some attribution notice. The MIT license, for example, says this: "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software".

The copyleft licenses (GPL, LGPL, ...) lets you take the code, make whatever changes you want, package it up into some product, and sell that product; but you need to provide your product's source code to your customers.

Show me an open source license which prohibits me from taking the source code and selling a product based on it.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope the best for your wife. I feel quite lonely in this situation but I'm extremely lucky to have a very supportive wife.

The disease that kills the most children is preventable and curable
I bought a CO2 monitor, and although the effects of CO2 in cognition and energy levels are debatable[1], it shocked me and raised awareness to how poor my indoor ventilation is.

We live in a small apartment, and just being 30 min with 2 people in the room raises the CO2 ppm from 400 to >1000. Opening a window quickly lowers it. Never-mind doing some light activity like yoga or similar.

So if we want to do something, I think the first step is really to get visibility to the problem, especially to the costs of the problem (productivity, public health, sick leaves, etc).

Bank deposit is a debt owed by the bank to the customer. So by assuming the deposits they assumed this debt. On the other hand they will also have assumed the assets of the bank (including these problematic bonds).
Smooth of voxel terrain isn't new, ultimately it doesn't play well so it isn't included in most voxel games. Minecraft stores data as voxels but renders as polygons (blocks). There are voxel rendering techniques as well. But at the end of the day it comes down to triangles or rays, right? So that voxel data has to be turned into polygons sooner or later, and the more magic you do to it, the less coherent these polygons are as a gaming mechanic. Blocks turn out to be fast/cheap to render and are highly usable in gaming mechanics.

I think the reality is that in Minecraft for example, every voxel is in memory, including the 99% of them you can't see. In minecraft, a chunk is up to 16x255x16 or 65,536 voxels, and with a view distance of 10, that's 21x21 or 441 chunks loaded, with up to 28,901,376 voxels in memory.

So whatever we do to turn voxels into polygons, we're going to likely be doing it across an enormous amount of data (relative to a home computer).

(And remember, in minecraft, chunk generation occurs live too. No world pre-gen. As you walk around, the game is inventing the world 65k blocks at a time!)
The problem with replacements like gnome-terminal is that they sometimes don't work. E.g. when you fire up a terminal while connected through a remote session you get issues with dbus, which of course sucks.

I wish there was an image viewer like xterm, because my usual viewer, eog, also has dbus issues frequently.
It technically is in many places around Germany: The national railway infrastructure is owned by a government-owned entity, as is the main railway company. Many municipal public transport systems are also owned directly by the municipalities themselves, although there are also some semi-privatized systems and the national railway company also owns shares of municipal public transport systems in many major cities.

Still, public ownership itself is not really sufficient to guarantee great public transport. In Germany, prevailing opinion is that public transport should break even or cost the public purse as little as possible. The effect is that many communities especially in rural and urban marginalized places are underserved by public transport and many smaller cities have been disconnected from the railway grid.

In my view public transport should be both owned by the public and viewed as a true public good: similarly to basic education, healthcare, electricity and clean water, every citizen should have access to a decent level of service, no matter how cost efficient it would be.
wow that looks fun
Well, the Koreans seem to be aware of this, and they are pushing for changes. They play shorter games, and they've recently moved from byo-yomi to Fischer timing (part of the reasoning was that players are trained to play at the very end of their byo-yomi period, so that introduced a minimum of 30 seconds per move - even if the players had decided in the first 4 seconds).
why? IE, why does this matter for HN in your opinion? generally curious as it seems like a non issue

I hate leaf blowers with a passion, but the electric ones I've seen people use are considerably less noisy than the old gasoline powered ones, to the point where I'd mostly consider them acceptable. Either way, this seems like an odd place for this rant, even though I do admit it made me chuckle a bit.

They are working towards not requiring spinal fluid for the test.

So it's possible that it could end up being a non-invasive test that could be done at regular intervals early in life.

Especially given that 15% of people with Parkinson's have a family history.
Raising the rates does help control inflation, e.g. Volcker. It's still negative real rates though (that is, interest rate minus inflation). Only just starting to become positive. The rates needed to follow inflation or you'd have a runaway unstable situation of inflation causing real rates to become more and more negative, feeding back into more inflation.
You know, this is exactly what I want webauthn and all that newer authentication stuff to do.

I'll say though it isn't just client side UI but webapps just don't support the idea of a user registering and loggingg in with a client cert that well.

But it is truly a shame because it is an unphishable method of authentication already on every device and doesn't cost hardware-money like a yubikey. It just isn't sexy enough for developers to care about it.
Penalising letting people freely communicate seems like a cure worse than the disease.
Big banks are better risk hedged! In this case because the government requires them to be as a result of post-2008 laws. SVB lobbied successfully to get the burden for complying with those regulations not to apply to small under 250-billion dollar banks when coincidentally they were just under that number a few years ago.
The risk of contagion is a systemic flaw that can and should should be fixed with a change to the system. Depositors do not have any real visibility, notice, consent, etc. to what happens with their money. Rational consumers would not put their money in a back that was A) lending it out, and B) Lending it out in a risky manner.

Just like cookies on a website, banks should be required to give depositors a clear and easy way to choose whether their money will be lent out.

Will that mean less lending overall? Yes. Will that be good for the economy? Yes, because it’ll couple inputs and outputs more closely.

Moreover, depositors who do use banks to lend should be given a prospectus and information comparable to stocks.

Deposit insurance is a moral hazard. It encourages people to be reckless with where they put their money.
The UK and most of Western Europe are doing the same thing. Russia and China are no fans of the free internet.
Of regular HTML features, one more immediately springs to mind: <frameset>. It’s similar to image maps as a feature that still works, but which no one uses any more.

(I actually used <frameset> for fun a couple of years ago in a live-coding-completely-from-scratch demo/talk that I prepared roughly but have never actually delivered, entitled “building a fair dinkum email client in half an hour with JMAP”. I was mildly surprised to get the frameset right without looking up any docs, despite not having used it for well over a decade, and not much before that.)

Hmm… maybe <plaintext> and <xmp> too, which still have fun parser implications. No idea how much actual use they ever got. (For that matter, I’m not sure how much use ISINDEX got.)
Short answer is we didn’t pay attention to it but we do now and we always measured it. That’s how SVB’s issues were flagged in 2021 [1]. (The systemic solution will be re-defining HQLAs in the LCR to reflect market value [2].)

Show HN: Free as in freedom, privacy-first Google Analytics alternative
Hey folks,

I built the free and open source, privacy-first PoeticMetric Analytics. It has both SaaS and self-hosted options. Source code is available on https://github.com/th0th/poeticmetric.

Its stack includes; PostgreSQL for the single source of truth database, ClickHouse for time series data, RabbitMQ as the task queue, and Golang for the backend. On the frontend, I use React (Next.js, typescript and bootstrap) for a modern user experience.

No personal data is collected. And it doesn’t use any persistence stuff like cookies, local storage, etc.

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Cheers!
Since I am now finishing my own SaaS boilerplate for Rails[0], it's interesting to me to see the choices and focus one's make. Py on the front-end is an interesting one.

And a nice logo btw!

i found a server with a nice community, which is what keeps me playing. but to start my own world i'd wish for better map generators. more realistic mountains, rivers, climates, etc.

and maybe some powerful tools would be nice, to efficiently build streets or dig new rivers, grow mountains, ... so you can efficiently create a map by hand, or modify a map to add or remove features.

fortunately, new map generators are being worked on, so there is hope for the future.

I'm not so sure about the impact to Google Search marketshare.

Anecdotally, I know at least one person that has moved to using Bing Chat as their primary search engine, and they are a prolific searcher. They showed me how their Bing Rewards counter has grown by about 700 points from searches alone in the last few weeks.

This might be a bit misleading because each request to Sydney results in multiple Bing searches (though there are daily caps to Bing Rewards to compensate), but they say their time to answer has reduced and they are searching for more things with faster incremental refinement than ever before.

I recently started paying for Kagi, and the results quality is fantastic even without chat-based search, so Google has both a core and emerging problem with Search.
The commonly used licenses like GPL and MIT don't put any restrictions on commercial use granted you don't break any of the conditions and limitations.

Theoretically you could even just take any software using any of those licenses, optionally package it up and then commercially redistribute it as is and it would not breach the license. Needless to say people probably wouldn't look at you favorably in that case though.
You’re phrasing this like it actually has some bearing on how land is owned in the U.K. This is just a quirk of tradition - for all intents and purposes the freeholder is the ultimate owner of the land.

Incurable currently. Things may change tomorrow so, first of all, try to buy as many time as you can.

You need to collect more info about your disease before to take a decision. Disclosing it will tag you as unable to work anymore (when in fact you could just experience a minor decrease in your working capacity for a long time, depending on the disease). You may need allocate extra money to fight the disease. Therefore, one strategy could be to take support in your close circle or friends and family and keep the mouth shut for now in the rest of cases. If you feel strong enough emotional and physically to stand the job you may want to keep your income source and current life as many time as you can. Less changes will help to focus in the relevant parts and are better for the emotional aspect.

Alternatively, if the work don't has a special value for your identity, you hate it, or don't need the money, you may want instead to quit as soon as possible and spend more quality time with your family.
Well, I reckon that kit was somewhat more risky than the circular disc of uranium of about 1.5 inches in diameter and about 0.25" thick we experimented with at school. The beta and gamma sources were in the form of foil about 1cm square but I don't know or can't remember what the sources were.

As a kid, I'd loved to have had one of those Gilbert kits (at least back then we had chemistry sets that actually did exciting things).
My tinfoil hat view of this is that it's part of a creeping state takeover of banking in everything but name.

1. assume the liabilities of the banking system (complete in 2008)

2. induce consolidation of the industry into a few megabanks with the "systemically important" designation making small banks dangerous (in progress)

3. use the government protection as leverage to make these few remaining banks obey government priorities without ever having to pass a law. e.g. effective censorship of entities the government doesn't like by cutting off from the banking system entirely (the goal)
You can analyze unlimited games for free on Lichess (both locally in browser and also serverside analysis that I think is donated server time). It lets you play against stockfish bits but they don't have "personalities" like the Chess.com ones do.

You also have unlimited free puzzles on lichess (paid on chesscom). Chess.com probably has a better library of learning content if you're into that (much of it paid though).

IMO if you're not paying I can't see why anyone would prefer chess.com over lichess: you get less and also get ass for the trouble. If you don't care about the monthly subscription cost, then maybe chess.com has fringe benefits over lichess.
> They took a 40% hit to deposits. What do you want them to do? It’s not survivable. This is just how our banking system works.

You're making it sound like people taking out their money out were those in the wrong, causing the failure of the bank.

That's not what happened. People taking their money out were in the right.

The root cause is bankers at FRB miscalculating risk. And they are those who were wrong.
Even more: Public transport is a public good which should be funded by fossil fuel taxes and provided to users without cost.
Swans were lucky, for several centuries they were protected by the Crown from indiscriminate and barbaric extermination.

But progressive communist China, for example, declared sparrows to be enemies of the people, and with the full support of the people, the sparrows were exterminated in an orderly and barbaric manner.

> When I say understanding I mean the meaning and context around it.

Yes it is actually modelling the meaning and context around it. ChatGPT is a ~100 layer deep neural network that was trained specifically to solve "natural language understanding tasks". The term "understanding" is an important term in NLP research along with the concept of "semantic similarity".

I believe it is more powerful and ultimately (eventually) more dangerous than you fear it is.
The problem is that in Germany, the city-to-city trains that can be used with this ticket do not have WIFI IIRC. Can anybody confirm this?

Traveling time without WIFI is a much higher burden to me than normal traveling time, where I can work on my projects. I actually like working on the train. It is a nice environment. But without that possibility, long train rides are a chore to me.

And it will be interesting to see how crowded the trains will be.

Durig the 9-Euro ticket times, city-to-city trains were uncomfortably densely packed.

Not to hijack your thread, but I wonder if anyone here’s built their own Raspberry/Arduino CO2 monitor? Which (reliable) sensors did you use? Did you find it more affordable than purchasing a monitor, especially if you already had unused microcontrollers lying around the house?
The UK and other Commonwealth countries are constitutional monarchies. You don't need a piece of paper called the "constitution" to be one or have a constitution. The UK essentially invented the modern constitutional monarchy where the monarch essentially is just a ceremonial figurehead. Prior to the end of WWII the Emperor of Japan had far more personal power under the Meiji constitution than the British monarch of the same time or today.
I miss the days when the ThinkPads came with both an internal swappable battery and external swappable battery. You could just swap out the battery if it was running empty and continue working. All of this is neat and all, but it's a horrible messy kludge in comparison.
There's a million better ways and have been since before you went to boot camp. I started learning around the same time as you and did it all by myself using online resources. Can't beat free.

As to being time consuming, bootcamps are trying to fit too much into a short time. You can't "learn to code" in three months, so they have to be intense.

Windows Remote Desktop configured to use h.264 hardware encoding is light years better than any VNC or remote X Windows I've ever used. Everything looks perfect, reacts instantly at 60 fps, and doesn't use more bandwidth than streaming a movie - even if you're playing a movie.

Fullscreen it's actually like being at the other computer and it's unparalleled by any Mac or Linux built-in screen sharing.
JPM has just released a press release with more details [0]

- Acquisition of the substantial majority of First Republic Bank’s assets, including approximately $173 billion of loans and approximately $30 billion of securities

- Assumption of approximately $92 billion of deposits, including $30 billion of large bank deposits, which will be repaid post-close or eliminated in consolidation

- FDIC will provide loss share agreements covering acquired single-family residential mortgage loans and commercial loans, as well as $50 billion of five-year, fixed-rate term financing

- JPMorgan Chase is not assuming First Republic’s corporate debt or preferred stock

https://www.jpmorganchase.com/ir/news/2023/jpmc-acquires-sub...
As I understand, that proposal is pretty much the decision banks already make when purchasing assets. Assets are either marked as HTM and assumed to be illiquid and at face value or they are not marked as HTM and assumed to fluctuate in value.
Class and income are not direct parallel. An upper class person falling on hard times still has a generation or three of family and connections and other support structures to reduce the impact. This notion of treating class as about primarily income rather than relationship to control over your own life obscures more than it enlightens. Income affects that control, but so does e.g. societal structures. Family structure is itself a class issue.

Well maybe you're not interested in it so downvote away. Like many people I'm at least mildly interested in news that affects a lot of people, even if it doesn't affect me personally today.

According to wikipedia, second largest by assets:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_bank_failures_...

I haven't researched this thoroughly, but I think the banking sector (like many other sectors) has been concentrating a lot over the years. So in the 80s we had many small bank failures, and in 2008-2010 we had many many small+medium bank failures (+WaMu, the largest in US history), and today we have a few large bank failures (so far).

> SVB lobbied successfully to get the burden for complying with those regulations not to apply to small under 250-billion dollar banks when coincidentally they were just under that number a few years ago

To be clear, the rules they lobbied out of wouldn’t have forced them to hedge. They would have drawn attention to the problem much earlier.

> Trap streets are not copyrightable under the federal law of the United States. In Nester's Map & Guide Corp. v. Hagstrom Map Co. (1992), a United States federal court found that copyright traps are not themselves protectable by copyright. There, the court stated: "[t]o treat 'false' facts interspersed among actual facts and represented as actual facts as fiction would mean that no one could ever reproduce or copy actual facts without risk of reproducing a false fact and thereby violating a copyright ... If such were the law, information could never be reproduced or widely disseminated."
Ngl this feels a bit icky to me. She was awfully young then. I say this as a (hypocritical) person who doesn’t mind it when consenting adults are objectified.
those people fled because they were told to by the financial press

this really feels like a setup to let a big bank buy a little bank for nothing

if we are really talking about people fleeing banks in "trouble", they would all close tomorrow...and don't tell me about stress-tests, those don't incorporate things like a broad collapse in commercial RE (which ALL the banks will be hit by)

"GPT offers you zero value because you don't know how to use it, so you're limited to cheap tricks."

GPT offers me zero value because its internal processes are opaque. It's fundamentally unsuitable for business.
