Is AGPL well understood? I thought people were still arguing whether you have to open source your whole company if you dare change a single line of AGPL code.
Good suggestion!
Actually the "ef" is not epsilon. It is a parameter of the HNSW index: https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib/blob/master/ALGO_PARAMS.md...
>company by revenue

This is dissembling by picking the metric that measures literally the exact opposite of productivity. SAP has the same number of employees (more?) as eg FB but its net income is 1/10th.
Sure. If you make $150/hour, it might make sense. But that's hardly the case for the average person.
No, it's because you're massively confusing capital accumulation with worker productivity and you boiled your argument down to "that neighborhood is full of McMansions, while the other neighborhood is full of slums, therefore that neighborhood must be full of hard working productive people and the other must be full of lazy bums who aren't as productive otherwise they'd also have McMansions too".

Capital accumulation is much more than worker productivity, it depends on historical factors, the local banking sector, time in the market, investor mentality and risk taking, local laws and regulations for both workers and investors, and most importantly taxes, both on workers and on investors. Worker efficiency is only a small part of that. As a productive worker I have no control of the other factors that attract investors to my city/country like political instability, corruption, geography, wars on my border, banking, taxes and laws.
> Let's take a second to remember that copyright is the reason ~every child doesn't have access to ~every book ever written.

No, copyright is the reason that authors all over the world are working very hard to make new books for my kids and everyone else's kids, despite never having met me. Copyright is the reason so many brilliant things are actually created that otherwise would never be.

Of course I'd prefer to live in a world in which I get all the media I want, for free. But I have no idea how to make such a world happen, and neither does anyone else, and humanity has been discussing this for a few centuries.
Does that mean that you shouldn’t try just because it’s imperfect?
That situation has the makings of a comedy sketch.
It's a good start, they have a lot of work to do to add some missing features, and apparently it broke Instagram, but those are growing pains.

I'd be happy if Threads establishes itself as a version of Twitters for creators, artists, scientists, professionals, and stays away from politics, trolls and polarizing opinions. If people want this, Twitter can have at it.

Also I'm looking forward to BlueSky opening as they also show promise. There won't be a single replacement, or a complete replacement, for Twitter so quickly. It'll be a process.
If you were sat at home playing video games but could conceivably go to the warehouse if they called but they didn't call, you would not be paid for your time playing video games.
> what does apple have to do with this conversation?

It also sued the government. My point is “suing the government is not a sign of strength” or weakness. It’s a non-signal. I think DoorDash is wrong here, though they have a kernel of a point in why grocery delivery is not covered by the rule. But their suing the government says nothing about their strength or weakness.
The KEP (Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal) is linked to in the PR [1]. From the summary:

> Sidecar containers are a new type of containers that start among the Init containers, run through the lifecycle of the Pod and don’t block pod termination. Kubelet makes a best effort to keep them alive and running while other containers are running.

I would argue that hard work, when combined with inappropriate practices, should not be appreciated. It's unfortunate that hn rewards these sorts of behaviours.
If there was such a thing a "meandering story", this one could fit the bill methinks. A pleasure to read (in spite of some ghastly events recounted), and one learns a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

The thing that might stick with me could be the credible unearthing of the roots of the modern detective story, in the vein of Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle. And how grotesque our time would likely seem to people of the Victorian age, seeing that such crimes are now more or less commonplace in the news.

I don't think they are complaining about the hosting, but the publication process being brittle.

For example, I use pelican (pretty much 'what if jekyll but in python and more flexible'), and found that every time i wanted to update my site there was a problem with some unmaintained plugin not working with the latest python standard library, or similar.

It's also easy to set up what feels like good process for publishing, only to find that it wasn't as well documented or obvious as you thought the next time around. This is natural for anything semi-complicated that you only do once every 6 months, when you're really trying to get something else done (writing the damn content).

If you already know how to use it, nix is a good solution to this, as you can pin all dependencies (including languages and external tools), and they will still be there and working in a few years.

There's no regulatory consideration involved as far as I can tell. On Slack at https://influxcommunity.slack.com/archives/CH8TV3LJG/p168894... they explain the shutdown thus:

So it's worse than you believe. Yes, the handling is a scandal for all the reasons you say. But they weren't even pushed into this by some regulatory issue; it's pure cost-cutting.

Presumably they would also have the right to CAP earnings at minimum wage. If you manage 10 deliveries/rides in 1h, and previously that was worth 100USD, you now get 7.25 (or 1425 for NY State, or 15 for NYC?)? And obviously Uber can require you to accept jobs.
His paid platform is making it hard for intellectual elites to stay. No content moderation. (Hate groups love it. And no advertisers want their ads next to Neo nazi trolls). The rate limiting nonsense. Tons of trolls and garbage on the platform. Anyone can pose as anyone for 8 bucks a month. It’s a failed company. Why anyone still works there who has options is madness to me. If you’re stuck on a H1B visa that’s one thing but if you can move and you don’t worship Elon then move.

Threads is backed by a competent run company. Sure Facebook is on the whole likely bad for democracy and the world but it’s paying its bills and has a content moderation arm (how well it works is meh).

I’m on threads, mastodon, Twitter, and post.news. Twitter still seems to be where stuff is happening but it’s slowly falling apart and I’m seeing fewer and fewer new things there.

Threads seems to be where people are going. Having your instagram network is a baller move to bootstrap Threads. And if a quarter of instagram’s users come over it’ll have more users than Twitter and it’s already going to be extremely profitable. Threads is an existential threat to Twitter.
x2go/freenx it's must better than the old X11 protocol. OFC, if you use legacy systems, no problems using your old Irix machine or similar, but from modern *BSD's/GNU's, you can compile x2go in a breeze and get a much better support on rendering/speed and detaching.

>It's absolutely not unreasonable.

We disagree, but that's our individual prerogative. I don't contend with the idea that one must kowtow to authorities on the basis of a single message thread - you only know of the competencies of saagarjha by stint of having interacted with them for years - it is entirely unreasonable to require others to have that same understanding, when literally nothing in this forum promotes any means by which to gain that understanding other than to follow individuals for years.

If ssagarjha had prefaced their statements with "I'm an XXX dev with YYY years of experience on this subject, and my conclusion is .." then you'd have a point. But there was no such introduction - and thus it is absolutely unreasonable to expect other contributors to the thread to understand the prowess of the person whose opinions they are challenging.

>"punishment"

.. seems to be limited to having to deal with other, random strangers on the Internet, and whose competence you are yet to divulge from limited interactions...

> bureaucratic mess

All developer incompetence is bureaucratic mess, there is no other form of it. We are bureaucrats, not artists. Not even Apple can escape this fact, as we can see time and again with their low-effort, poor quality releases lately ..
What do you think authors feel about this? Despite many people on this site thinking we're the first generation with new technology, the issue of copyright, and technolgie's impact on it, has been discussed for centuries.

The "patronage" model is great (and I personally am a Patreon supporter of lots of creatives). But it also has a lot of flaws in it, both for the author and the public. Most authors will be happy to tell you both the good and bad of the model, in my experience.

The biggest flaw for the public, btw, is that this model only supports art that "rich people" find worth supporting. This is bad, both because sometimes art isn't "deemed worthy" immediately, and because art for non-"rich" people is also very valuable.

7 dollars an hour, plus 3 dollars per delivery is sad, especially in a place like NYC. 17 dollars an hour is still low in today's economy but fine, the minimum wage is only 15.

Isn't that because (modern Apple Silicon) Macs are vertically integrated? The Wintel stack is a Frankenstein and nobody has particularly good quality. Dell, HP, Alienware, Razer, Samsung, Sony etc. are generally all crap these days too. The Lenovo X series is quite a bit better than most American lines, but still not particularly impressive in terms of build. Microsoft's Surface Book line looks well designed but had a bunch of heating and power problems. Even my Intel Mac frequently has problems. My M1 one, on the other hand, is amazing, so far ahead of every other computer I've ever had.

On the Wintel side, I've had better luck with small biz machines (ThinkPad, not Lenovo, or Latitude) plus upgrades in home warranty, but honestly those break down too. They're just easier to fix.

> You're massively confusing capital accumulation with worker productivity.

No I think it's you who is confused about the difference between capital, which can be moved, is fungible, and property (like mcmansions). The whole point, literally the whole point, of capital markets is enabling people to move their money opportunistically in a way that's impossible with property.

> it depends on historical factors, the local banking sector, time in the market

Do you realize you're talking about Western Europe here and not like some developing nation? And Bavaria no less? Like I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the extant banks in the area go all the way back to knights of templar.

Again, Western Europe, not LA or subsaharan Africa or whatever. Germany is without a doubt top 5 in terms of both stability and lack of corruption.

If we'd transfer this discussion to DOS .exe files, there's bound to be an even better pun in there ;)
Minimum wage wont help them out of poverty. It will just increase prices and they will still be price out. But now, you will have a group of ex-worker who not getting jobs because being price out also. Sounds great but implementaton is bad. It is better to subsidize these workers with skillset to find alternative and better jobs (yes something like learn to code mentality but more like German type of apprenticeship learn skill other than coding....e.g. plumbing). Singapore and Malaysia is a good example where min wage not practice in SG but in Malaysia. And yet SG wage keep on raising simply due to capitalism fighting for a limited labor resources and not artificially jack up the price of labor to make politician look like genius solving economic problem beyond their expertise.

Only keyboard enthusiasts have keyboards like this nowadays. Anything off the shelf has the same crap layout more or less now. Laptop and UMPC manufacturers don't care to innovate with the keyboard.

The you will surely agree to be permanently barred from looking at, commenting, writing or otherwise contributing to code if you write a bug I deem severe enough?
> article frames the problem as if the value proposition of the science and the satellites is remotely similar. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Agree. They mention “SKAO are now in discussion with Starlink about what can be done about the interference caused by its satellites,” but fail to mention specifics. It’s obvious we aren’t going to ban LEO for this field. What can be done to mitigate the damage? Is it nontrivial? Does that require a regulatory mechanism to help pay for an enforce?

Put another way, when China starts doing the same thing, what design precautions will we want them to have deployed, and how can we set the example as the first movers?
Huh? I have that book, and it's nothing like ISLR, at all. It's a good book, but ISLR covers topics such as gradient boosted trees, survival analysis, GLMs, etc. Nothing at all like the book you mentioned. If forced, you could say ISLR is more focused on prediction, not inference or hypothesis testing.

Replace it with any subject. The point stands - it isn't at all clear how the courts will treat this.

Take your example: I'm a self-taught artist, and I learned everything I know about art by studying cartoons made by Disney. Maybe I paid for these cartoons, maybe I didn't. I then make a website where I draw my own cartoons, which, since I've never seen any other art, look a lot like Disney's. Unless I'm straight-up copying their characters, they would have no claim against me.
Yep. Now do the math on living in NYC with a car payment making $7/h.

Yea but Apple didnt sue the government because of some issues affecting the profitability of their main business model. This comparison makes no sense.

Companies that have made similar moves are Uber, Airbnb for example, but not Apple.
What OP says, it’s not enforceable. that’s not how contracts work despite longstanding attempts to make people believe so
We also need UX innovations that make granular permission management friendly for average users. I suspect good defaults are half the battle here.

If we use the popup approach for 20+ permissions when users download an app, they'll likely say yes to everything, no to everything or be frustrated at how much time they spend setting up their new app. None of these seem like good outcomes.
A contract requires mutual assent. Hiding an EULA.txt file somewhere does not fulfill the assent requirement. You are already copying nextcloud when you download it; you can't be bound to arbitrary demands you never heard of for that.

It has worked great for me for decades and I currently stream live video over X11 on my LAN.

And no, I don't think the developers are incompetent, they obviously have different priorities than I do. Being able to shift an entire desktop environment over a network is something I've done since I started using the internet in various ways and I'll echo the sentiment that it seems incredibly useless to remove this feature in today's world.

To be quite honest I'm tired of this holier-than-though attitude. They dropped it because they are lazy or just don't want to support it and they should just be honest about that. They certainly didn't do it because it makes my life easier and I wish they would stop telling me I'm in the wrong.
in the comment session of that HW post there was a lot of people saying that they hate to create projects and prefer to maintaing code, if even the mainteiners don't want to work on it, just proves how complex it was
Wouldn't that just be evidence that most people prefer collective actions and working together over the mythology of rugged individualism?
Great tool and the little video, even better.
I guess, it may be difficult to find a suitable machine targeting mid-sized manufacturers with small production runs, nowadays. A replacement and retraining everybody involved and re-editing the data may just no be worth the investment, as long as the existing technology keeps up.

The Vision Pro estimates I've seen are between 33 and 40 PPD (while 20/20 vision is 60 to 70 PPD at the centre of the field of vision). So this could be quite sharp, particularly if you have the text somewhat larger (on the huge virtual monitors) than you'd normally have it.
Yeah it wasn't referenced or mentioned anywhere in the article so I had to guess what it was :-/ ... which I guess supports my point.

And when it does not become trivial, it is an indicator it would be borderline impossible without it.

Apparently the code is Apache licensed, so you can use that code.

Putting a file somewhere that states "you agree to X by using the software" without you signing anything isn't an enforceable contract. If they want you to agree to something it needs to be (e-)signed. Not just stating an action and claiming that by doing that you agree to a contract.
