> Wouldn't moving a bunch of values to/from memory basically empty out all the caches and make this thing really slow anyway?

It's probably the same issues as with neural networks: they have to work on a whole batch of inputs to be efficient. They load only a few weights at a time into registers, then use those on the whole batch before loading the next weights.

So my guess would be: If you only run a single grid, and the grid is large, you may end up memory-bound and you can afford running inefficient instructions.

(Btw. sounds like bitgrid would map 1:1 into the LUTs of an FPGA. Might be a fun project to generate VHDL for it and then let it actually run in parallel. The less straight-forward part being the logic to get the data out of the FPGA again.)

Indeed. Microsoft’s name and logo is published everywhere “in public” but you certainly can’t use them as your own.

IP is still IP even when it’s publicly available.
Sending information into a country that violates its laws is not that different to violating its airspace. We live in a society where information is the highest value commodity and around which everything else revolves. Information controls us, our beliefs, our machines, our processes and systems, and information can respectively destroy them.

It's natural that you don't want a rocket in your airspace, even if it wasn't launched from your land.

The solution is probably a consortium of all countries that participate in Internet, for some baseline rules and laws that all countries equally abide to. But for this to happen we have a lot of social evolution to go through.

Say we still have wars in this world. If we're willing to kill each other and take each other's land and assets, we have zero hope over having uniform opinion about the Internet.

Congress used their constitutional authority to delegate certain decisions to an office administered by the executive branch because they decided they would be ineffective at legislating on the individual issues. The court is replacing that legislation with an injunction forcing Congress to legislate on the individual issues. Congress can eventually legislate a check on judicial overreach, but the damage here is done.
From my experience, code generators arent stable and reliable enough. Whenever I was in a project where either side (Backend/Frontend) generated code from OpenAPI/Swagger spec, they broke at some point - weeks after introducing, by using some new feature/syntax in the specfile.

Given that they produce human unmanageable/readable code, ejecting was a terrible solution.
A lot of people whine about Lemmy and federation. They can't see how it works? What happens if the server closes down? Which instance do I choose. All of this is answered with some reading.

If picking a server and understanding how it works is too much effort for you, then don't use it. You have had to put effort into understanding every single service you use. Lemmy, Mastodon, Kbin and other federated services are no different.

If it's too much, stay with Twitter or Reddit. It's okay.
Actually, there is something wrong with ad supported platforms. Advertisers start imposing restrictions on the actual content, or the owners of the platforms enforce restrictions pre-emptively so it never arises.

I was on a forum, and the kind of language and even topics for discussion were severely restricted, partly because of advertising.
You can mock the "moving fast" trope, but the truth is that moving fast has actually been very important for most web-related software development since the beginning. The reason is that the web is a super-competitive environment where the speed of experimentation and adaptation wins most of the time - even if we, as engineers, might not like that.
That's insane. I breezed through this puzzle and did not notice. Indeed legendary

It depends. Most of them are undocumented, have no testing and have accumulated years of RHEL specific stuff (RPMs, using EPEL for dependencies, ansible). At the same time they service hundreds of important users per day, making them difficult to change. Our "cloud" also only offers RHEL-like images (Centos and now Rocky), so getting another distro involves getting a special exception and installing it from iso.

Full ack. Since a few years I’m considering what strategy could be used to grow a competitor that is much cheaper.

The market gap where to start this is obvious to me: at least in Germany a lot of street food vendors don’t accept credit cards and there you can only pay with cash. They purely compete on price and quality, the payment means is no differentiator for them. It may even be that other properties of cash are crucial to their current mode of operation.

The strategy how to start a cc competitor is not obvious to me. Either one needs to plow a ton of money into the market to spur adoption or some Schema for organic growth must be found. The latter would be strictly preferable as the risk is much smaller.
> Just pay for api access if that's all you need

The comments suggest the API pricing was just a stunt to hide the fact that Reddit wanted to kill third party apps in general, and in particular the ability of third parties to use Reddit posts to train AI models.

That's not an option. Even if it was, reddit's tone deaf measures, such as undeleting accounts and threatening everyone and kicking out mods who protested, already killed the community and makes the decision of continuing to use Reddit as a questionable moral decision.

People seek a reddit alternative, and rewarding reddit for its bullshit stunts is not it.

>No casual user is ever going to leave Reddit for Lemmy.

From the point of view of active Lemmy users, this is not a problem. Casual users don't contribute, so they're essentially just leeches from the point of view of the overall service. Kinda same thing as with pure FOSS. Non-contributing users are tolerated, but they are not really useful in any way.

Pretty much all forum works like that. The admin can delete whatever stuff they don't like.

If admins deleting your stuff is a concern for you, then you can just run your own instance, which is not possible on proprietary forums such as Reddit.

Put yourself in the shoes of another developer who has to parse all that crap in the commit log. At my last job that sort of thing would never pass code review.

To say nothing of the fact that you're typing all these commands potentially several times an hour, sometimes every day, for years, and adding an additional distraction to something that I got down to a pretty tight feedback loop.

One alternative, the one I like the most, is you link your folders with some kind of sync mechanism (Dropbox) and can then freely (within limits) switch back and forth, and you can do all your surgical commits at once, at your leisure, once the code is ready to be backed up. If the system is reliable it is quite pleasant to experience. As a bonus you're not encoding every harebrained idea into your organization's permanent memory

> it's not legally possible to both make a work available to the public and prevent that work from being available for other uses

That’s bullshit. Copyright still applies to property available to the public. Maybe you are confused between “available to the public” (access) and “in the public domain” (copyright).

Listening to a song on the radio doesn’t give you the right to copy it and sell it.

You can say the same for other forms of IP. Trademarks, logos, etc are all “available” to the public, but they are still protected IP.

When you post to a public website, you are giving access to that content , and (usually) legally giving rights to the website to publish your content. Those rights don’t transfer to a 3rd party.
Seems to entertain many so has value in that sense I guess. Plus perhaps post vs replies make some sort of challenge & response pair that can be leveraged?

Too little too late. Anything pre-ChatGPT is already scrapped, packaged and mirrored around the Internet; anything post ChatGPT launch is increasingly mixed up with LLM-generated output. And it's not that the most recent data has any extra value. You don't need most recent knowledge to train LLMs. They're not good for reproducing facts anyway. Training up their "cognitive abilities" doesn't need fresh data, it needs just human-generated data.

My understanding is that this used to be true of most fish species. But overfishing means that a lot of populations have dramatically declined. We absolutely can and will do this to mackerel too if we continue current trawling practices.
Unless the captcha is annoying enough to a significant degrees, I doubt that it would work. With all the money in the bucket, scrapers can just hire a captcha farm to get pass the captcha with help from a real human.

Also a side note: distributed Web crawler is not unheard of these days, as well as residential IP proxies. Meaning the effectiveness of Proof of Work model maybe also limited.

It will, ISPs just need to start providing the basic hosting infrastructure on their routers again, like they used to. Thankfully we're also at a time where IPv6 is mature enough so that this is greatly simplified !
No, it's a very practical combination. Let's say you're investigating a murder, talking to the wife of the victim: "I'm sorry for your loss. Is there anything else you can tell us about what happened? And I can totally understand if you can't bear to live alone in this crime scene any more. In fact, if you want to move out, I know someone who would be interested."
Of course the scraper would have to pay too. But it makes for a race between how much they are willing to pay, versus how much worse the experience gets for real users. And for successful mobile apps, reducing average load even during active use is important (example: idle games that don't want to make your phone a drying iron, companies invest in custom engines and make all kinds of compromises to avoid this). And burst-allowing rate limiting is something I'm quite sure was already in place, especially with prejudice towards datacenter/VPN IP's. But similarly to how it is with search engine scraping, professional scrapers already have costly workarounds for these.

>The reason they are not doing the "easy" thing is that they don't see a need (yet, perhaps).

This argument just doesn't make any sense. Twitter notes that this is hurting them. Previews in chat apps, just clicking links in non-loggedin contexts is are broken. I feel like you just predict that this will turn out to be more accepted in the near future and become more a more permanent decision, which you don't like.

Substantially higher loads than Twitter gets today were not "melting the servers" until Musk summarily fired most of the engineers, stopped paying data center (etc.) bills, and then started demanding miscellaneous code changes on tight deadlines with few if any people left who understood the consequences or how to debug resulting problems.

In other words, the root problem is incompetent management, not any technical issue.

Don't worry though, the legal system is still coming for Musk, and he will be forced to cough up the additional billions (?) he has unlawfully cheated out of a wide assortment of counterparties in violation of his various contracts. And as employee attrition continues, whatever technical problems Twitter has today will only get worse, with or without "scraping".

> Why do i care if i'm living well or not ? There's no absolute specification for it.

There are many specifications for it. Religions also provide many blueprints for living a good life. The Greek philosophers were very interesting in what leading a good life (what they called eudaimonia) would entail.

> Instead i care if i can get enough sleep, enough relaxing, enough studying, enough working to fullfill my life or not.

What your refer to is on another level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs

You have to remember that many of those old philosophers were rich or even nobles that didn't have to worry about the basic needs of life.

Only the true enlightened people are able to meditate about philosophy while their stomach is empty.
Way to moralize the issue.
> The more I hear about the federated multiverse, the more I see it as just another centralization abstraction layer on the decentralized network that is the internet.

> If we want decentralization, why can't we just use the internet like ye olde days?

I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion. The internet is indeed already decentralized, yet connected, allowing you to traverse networks to reach resources that are more often than not outside your 'home' network.

Federated social media is exactly that, but for posting and interacting with content. Its killer feature is that you don't have to create an account everywhere, but are able to interact from your home instance with any other instance in the network. Exactly like the internet.

If we'd go back to ye olde days, it would be like pre-internet from a network perspective. Having to log in physically on a specific network to access its resources. Or when talking about the internet until ~2008 (and to some extent still true): creating a separate account for every forum you'd want to participate in.

Do you know of any existing projects in this space?

I was toying with an idea/protocol where:

1. You add a TXT/CNAME that points to a trusted "authentication provider".

2. When you try and login to a website that supports the protocol, it checks the DNS record and redirects you to your provider.

3. You then "prove" that you own the domain to the provider - how this is done would be specific to each provider, but one possible method could be by providing a signed message that can be verified vs. a public key stored in a DNS record.

4. The provider redirects you back to the original website with a token.

5. Finally the original website consumes this token by sending it in a request to the provider. The response contains the domain as confirmation of the user's identity.

This approach removes the need for self-hosting as users can point and setup their names with third party providers.

Users can also trivially switch to a different/self-hosted provider by changing the CNAME.

Communities could also allow direct registration by hosting their own provider instance and pointing a wildcard subdomain at it: (i.e. *.users.ycombinator.com).

Users could then sign up to said provider using traditional email/password and claim a single subdomain: (i.e. tlonny.users.ycombinator.com)

Thoughts?
