Was it not? I find it hard to find sources, but I realllllly remember it started off as a heavily modified fork of Apache 1.3.
Yep, no need to pay with an arm and a leg for rich-hipster coffee.
I'm just speculating, but this might have to do with further potential development of Linux based music oriented devices, or possibly a more aggressive latency reduction down to near realtime, although userspace should allow that anyway.
Sounds fair enough to me. Look what AWS did to Elasticsearch (amongst many others).
What if I told you that you don't have to care about any kind of suffering, other than perhaps some very rare extremes of physical pain. That's the point!
Brando had a massive ego because he's been told by a lot of people that he was the greatest actor alive. I am not a doctor, but I believe you see in this video the struggle in his mind between his ego and superego. Between his will of being loved and admired (that we all share) and his realization of the futility of it.

Another interesting Connie Chung interview with Navratilova. Couldn't find the video but here is the transcript:
https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/cct/date/2002-07-17/segment...

Regarding Navratilova's comment in a German newspaper concerning the post-9/11 Bush policy

Excerpt:
CHUNG: Can I be honest with you? I can tell you that when I read this, I have to tell you that I thought it was un-American, unpatriotic. I wanted to say, go back to Czechoslovakia. You know, if you don't like it here, this a country that gave you so much, gave you the freedom to do what you want.

[...]

CHUNG: [...] go ahead and say whatever you want to say. But you're not a politician. You're not in a position of government power or whatever.

[...]

NAVRATILOVA: No, I'm not. One of these days, hopefully. But when you say go back to Czech Republic, why are you sending me back there? I live here. I love this country. I've lived here 27 years. I've paid taxes here for 27 years. Do I not have a right to speak out? Why is that unpatriotic?

CHUNG: Well, you know the old line, love it or leave it.
No, it's quite normal. Normal levels of pathology you can see in every small medium and large business. Being able to make sweeping changes at the expected marginal cost - that is rare, almssot unique.

Most human organisations are crippled by pathologies mistrust and misaligned incentives.

Fixing those almost always involves ending the org and building a new one.
> How can you write such nonsense with such a strong convincing tone?

What part do you think is wrong? I must say you are quite creative with insults. Great skill!

Looks like the person behind KeyDB has lost interest, but I was just made aware of dragonflydb.io.
Am I cynical to be saying this? The debate over whether AI is banned in the film industry is a struggle over how the benefits are distributed.

If it's just a free-for-all, then things will indeed develop as predicted: people who aren't traditional film-makers will get jobs producing films, replacing the old guard, with all the cultural changes this implies.

However if an agreement is reached to ban this kind of AI, what will happen? Screenwriters themselves will employ AI as a kind of tool. There's no way to deny it, AI is good at making text. A capable professional will leverage this to become more productive, while keeping the benefits in terms of negotiating power with the studios.

In my own business the march of technology also brought upheaval. You can run into London cabbies who used to be floor traders. When things went to computers, a fair few of them never adjusted. The whole culture has changed, too, as has the opportunity. My first boss didn't do a degree, now you wouldn't hire a guy without one.
> Typically, the selection of a programming language is predetermined in brownfield projects, leaving little room for choosing the "ideal" programming language for migration unless it is absolutely necessary (go can be a suitable option for migrations).

Yep - or it's the standard for some tasks & the important thing is being able to use the ecosystem of external packages that everyone else uses. In this case, the author is working on AI & computer vision, for which everyone else uses Python. Python could be a much worse language than it is and using Python would still be the right choice in this scenario.
idk, im pretty sure that my internet company or the train company or my local grocer are actively trying to make their customers life worse and succeeding. and the answer isn't "oh but without them you'd have to walk/grow your own food/lay your own cable"

for starters none of the companies mentioned did that themselves, train company didnt build infrastructure, supermarket didnt grow food, internet company didnt lay cable. Sure they provide some value I suppose in logistics or whatever but lets be real its not that hard given some capital. If they didn't someone else would gladly step in and do it instead, theres no world in which the customer is forced to actually go without.

You might say "but these are all distorted markets", and to that i'd say: they are pretty much the main points of interaction I and a lot of people have with the economy (and we can think of dozens more examples). If these are all exceptions, the market is one big exception.

I feel like making the world a better place requires a much greater standard than just "someone paid you for some resource/commodity you hoarded". I grant you sure, in a simplified model where there are countless competitors & perfect information available to all consumers, buisnesses would have to compete on providing good services, but thats not the world we live in.

It's frankly ridiculous that it's not enough reward to be richer than croesus, people want us to believe that they are moral because they got all that wealth.
One thing I'd recommend is tying in the calculus you've learned with the language of differential forms. It really gives you a lot more power in visualizing what is going on (line integral-you aren't just projecting that dot product in the integral onto an "infinitesimally small element", it is a map that does something simple but profound), and also extends your reach with visualization.

Also, if you are interested in more sophisticated ways of capturing quantum physics, geometric algebra is really cool.
Because terrorism!

As I understand it the basis legally is about Guantanamo bay not being formally part of the US, and therefore not subject to the constitution or regular law. Military law probably applies, although I'm not 100% on this.
Yes, sometimes you sell your expertise and experience, with vague goals, or no goals, and no defined deliverables. I call that consulting, and would negotiate a retainer rather than hourly billing. But sometimes you have to go with hourly. Some customers don't have the internal organization or focus to work out anything better than that.

Because it comes up with startups specifically, I wouldn't accept equity in lieu of pay. If you strongly believe in the startup and the possibility of success, that might make sense, but as a gamble rather than a predictable income.
> This is not a good example of what happens in America in general, since the position of the Bush administration was that Guantanamo Bay was outside of US legal jurisdiction

Then the next logical step is to declare Detroit outside of US legal jurisdiction. This will solve a lot problems. /s
There was a great HN post of DragonFly vs. some other databases: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31796311.

I am not sure if the latest version improves performance but those are some bold claims of Dragonfly.
Fascinating. It’s just plain old bubble sort. Why did they choose to do that? I don’t get the benefits of it. If they are going for simplicity, why not selection or insertion sort?
There is no "ai" revolution and nothing is being transformed. Please enough of this already.
>they made massive efforts to pilfer technology and methodologies from Western Europe. //

You can't steal ideas. If they took technology, duplicated it and made it better then that's a good thing.

>so much that they briefly "surpassed" //

They copied, but they got a better grade?

This sounds like a good thing, something all technology companies working in the same area should strive for, and indeed how patents (in a limited way) and open-source work : one creates improvement over the current developments.

Why would you want people spending time 'reinventing the wheel' just because they live in another country. Use the best of tech and make it better if you can.

Good call out. Depending on how you're organised, product own the 'what' and 'why'. Engineering own the 'how'.
Named tuples, typed or not, are a bad idea for most data structures. They might make some sense when dealing with coordinates (x, y, z), but why would you want to use it for an Employee class, as shown in the example? This is a tuple, so you can iterate over it, employee[0] == "Guido", and employee[1] == 3. This isn’t useful in any way, it’s confusing, and it’s making it harder to change the order of fields in this class.

Just use an actual class, not a class pretending to be a tuple sometimes.
That is just a png of some text. The text is either wrong or outdated by a decade or more.

People sometimes like to have opinions about stuff. But there's no reason to google for secondary sources when the documentation is good.

Read the manual instead. The documentation for both projects is correct, short and to the point. They are both multi threaded, multi process, with an event loop. The documentation describes how to set those parameters. Look at the thread_pool directive for nginx and AsyncRequestWorkerFactor for Apache for example.

You could of course configure one thread per connection, but that only makes sense under specific circumstances.
I'm OK with being ignored. I'm not OK with being powerless.
> In lots of respects our life's are more comfortable, but I don't think having an iPhone makes up for having a generation that'll never get on the housing market in the UK for example.

You are more right that your comment. That iPhone is being used to show you more ads, track you, show you low-quality content that appeals to basic emotions... technology can make our lives better but it can also make them worse. It is neutral.
I imagine the worst place to be is being half famous or a B-list celebrity. Enough prominence to be at the receiving end of all vile described in the article but not enough money, power and connections to adequately protect yourself.
In my reading it wasn't an empiricist validation of Whig historiography. Instead, a specific argument was made about the value of larger populations, division of labor and greater specialization resulting in increased productivity. This was the proposed explanation for an improving standard of living. Notably, there is room to depart from these improvements by tabooing population growth and centrally planning economies.

I thought it's well-known that what you need is 1) to be well regarded by people closely related to you, 2) to be healthy 3) to have financial independence and 4) to have enough time for you and for the people from 1).

Fame can get you 1) and 3), but it's not going to make you happy of fulfilled by itself. It brings a lot of downsides with it though.

> Writer seems to be ignorant that USA need to import uranium from Russia.

Probably a price thing more than anything else, there's a lot of friendly countries that America can import Uranium from (such as Canada or Australia).

> Russia has Sarmat in operation and similar hypersonic Khinzal missiles decimated 2 Patriots system (not just the launchers) and damaged the 3rd (still repairable) in Ukraine.

Sarmat isn't comparable to kinzhal, kinzhal is a hypersonic weapon in name only. Thats why the American patriots had no problem intercepting all 6 thrown at Kyiv.

Theres no proof that the kinzhal's inflected anything but superficial damage to one patriot when Russia threw everything it had.

> None of USA hypersonic missiles tested beyond testing phase as this moment.

Hypersonic missiles in the same vane as the kinzhal are actually 1950's technology, what the USA and other countries what are hypersonic glide vehicles, hypersonic glide vehicles do more then just fly in a straight line fast (like the kinzhal does) they actually move too.

> Also American weaponry failed miserably in Ukraine as well with their Himars decimated and 1/3 suffered mud damages not even due to Russians intervention

??? theres no proof of any of this, HIMARs alone has likely killed thousands if not tens of thousands of Russian soldiers and destroyed a lot of ammo and weaponry.

> Plus if you want to talk about corruptions, Ukrainians make Russians look like honest Abe.

Funny that it appears that Russias military is the one thats a hollowed paper tiger, whereas Ukraines military seems to actually be using the equipment it has.
I find it hard to understand how you can believe something like Dropbox isn't "serious production" just because it involves websites and apps.
The state, and judges, refuse to attack their soldiers. And by allowing sadists, they get to pay them slightly less.
In computer vision, you use Python for prototyping and research. It of course gets rewritten if it's to be actually used, think for example of the guidance system in a car, plane, or weapon.

It's pretty much the same for AI, except that there is an increasing trend in AI of it being used by people that do not have the skills to do the productionization.
Impressive, it was only about time!

I can’t find their privacy policy for the users
Huh, interesting concept. It's definitely a big step above "source available". It even kind of allows maintaining a community version with outside patches, albeit slowly.

It kind of rivals the KDE/Qt deal of "freely licensed when the company goes under" in its effects of the code eventually being community-maintainable once the company doesn't care for it anymore.

5 years is a bit much though.
There are other costs than silicon real estate. Those modes and microcode need to be validated, tested and add bloat to the boot software stack.

It's the industrial revolution all over again and Luddites.

People are afraid of change, especially when it means they'll need to retrain.

In the IT industry we're used to it, constantly new languages, new tech, and yes ultimately learning to write AI and using AI to write our programs. But we adapt or die, aside from copyright problems, very few are complaining.

Likewise, AI films will need tools, curators, larger story arc direction, stylistic decisions. They can include real actors with more CGI, nobody has said they can't, body scans are restricted by copyright too.

Like a developer that will have to step up their ability to compete with AI, actors will need to be compelling in the same way we prefer to watch theatre instead of movies.
This is not a vulnerability because once you have the same privileges as the user, the game is over.
I agree completely, the results are quite inadequate.

There are clearly decision makers somewhere in the situation who just shouldn’t be involved.

But travel is cheap education and research when compared to a city wide problem.

Traveling isn’t just about exposing yourself to ideas. It’s about exposing yourself to how they actually work in practice, pros, cons, unexpected dependencies, etc. while carrying your own situations needs around with you.

You can’t get all that coupled perspective second hand. That’s a false economy.

It would be negligent and unprofessional to not travel, for a problem on this scale.
I wasn't saying that you always ought to use a named tuple instead of a dataclass. Only that, if you do want a tuple, that option is still available.

Personally, I would use a tuple if I want something immutable. I realise you can do that with dataclasses by setting frozen=True but it feels a little over engineered to me.
This is probably the fate of honest politicians.
There are a lot of games I only knew about it because I follow some streamers that plays games genre I like.

I don’t know other way to learn about new games if not by a streamer or promoted on steam home page, steam has an awful algorithm, so you wouldn’t be recommended a lot of new games, just the same games most of the time.

> …forcing children to spend years learning longhand sums that can be easily done by computers.

If we don't teach this, we'll forget how we got computers to do arithmetic in the first place. Not teaching basic arithmetic skills would be unconscionable.
Haha, probably not. The logic for my activities and the complexity for the complimentary colours made it a little tough to maintain and extend. Plus there's a nice warming feeling knowing an LLM is busy designing my lighting throughout the day.
Isn’t the whole point of named tuples to not iterate over indexes, but to iterate over field names instead, e.g employee.name, employee.salary?

You can also use typing.namedtuple as a baseclass for your classes to have the same functionality .
Without the intention to undermine anyone's work (and I truly appreciate the work the KeyDB guys did), I would not use this (in production) unless I see Jepsen test results [1] either by Kyle or someone supervised by Kyle. But, unfortunately, databases are complex enough and distributed systems even more, and I've lost many sleepless nights debugging obscure alternatives that claimed to be faster in edge cases. And the worst thing is that these projects get abandoned by the original authors after a few years, leaving me with (to quote a movie) "a big bag of odor".

I see databases as a programming languages - if they have a proven track record of frequent releases and responsive authors after 5-7 years, they are usable for wider adoption.

If you take that point of view, I hope you also apply it to everything and not just some segment that is convenient. It means for example, that no music creator, no software company, no movie maker, etc. has any copyright. I would be OK with that, but only if that was universally applying, and not just for things that can be laundered by some actually existing AI.

Very easy to obtain those totally meaningless numbers with that background.
The "teaching language" adage is misleading. Pascal wasn't made to merely teach programming before moving on to "proper" languages, as this would imply. Instead, it was made to teach proper structured programming, a novel idea at the time.

And it was very practical, too. Apple's Lisa OS and the original Photoshop were written in Pascal. Windows and Classic Mac OS had official SDKs for Pascal. Delphi was very widely used for enterprise apps. Sure, it lost the competition against C in the early 90s, but it was easily in the top three - against literal thousands of dead languages.

Even now, some projects using Pascal are amazing. Take fpPS4 for example: a Wine-like PlayStation 4 runtime, reimplemented in Free Pascal. That's one of the most hardcore things I've seen, period. It proves that Pascal is a competent systems programming language, too.

As for "Apple Pascal", "Turbo Pascal" and the like not being "the" Pascal, well, duh: the original Pascal spec is what, two dozen pages long? Of course it had to be improved over time. We don't use K&R C either.

I won't be rallying anyone to restoring the language to its former glory, but let me say this: it was there for us, and it was great while it lasted.

The proposed rules are not about limiting transaction size. They are about enforcing traceability for transactions above a certain size.

Not clear how a rust "clone" fits into this. I wonder if people have tried pinning instances to cores and treating the ensemble as a host device bounded distributed variant. (just musing, haven't looked at Redis for ages.)
The article is paywalled, so I was only going off the part that I was allowed to read.

But yeah, sure he's making a slightly more complicated argument, but it's still making an implicit assumption that the upsides of population growth will scale indefinitely, and I just don't buy it. It's at best an open question. But on a fundamental level, there has to be some limit. That's simply due to physics.
You might want to watch "GoingNative 2013 C++ Seasoning" video or at least check it's slides [1]. It may sound like it is old but the part about pointers is essential for anyone who wants to write C++.

IMHO from gamedev: HN is not going to get it ever. They either have moved to high level languages or do not need performance at all.

The feisty independents back then spread out in order to illegally fight back (court battles take time, beatdowns are instant) against the east coast Trust's effective moral censorship, and celebrity probably was a side aim or help.

The Master Switch by Tim Wu touches on what the Trust did to stifle celebrity/stardom and acting as an artform in order to maintain a low-cost monopoly over film watching. This is in contrast to a high-cost monopoly the article above is advocating for.
I couldn't agree more. The idea that AI will mean that 'creative people' suffer from a 'total decline in cultural relevancy' is extreme philistinism. Culture is meaning and meaning is human; AI predicts from a training sample, and cannot genuinely create, by its nature.
Probably, because they did not attain actual consent by the people whose data they use.
"Is the GAI creative?" or "Will GAI replace us?" aren't the right questions. The real challenge is to include GAI in every aspect of your work to generate novel ideas.
