Good to have your input here. That's some worthwhile information. I would estimate that further undocumented behaviors would need a bigger page yet.

I genrerally find the best bet is usually to use the DOS from Win98SE (with updated version of IO.SYS from 2001). It's quite advanced plus very backward-compatible at running older DOS programs.

Ideal to format all FAT32 that is accessible (non-GPT). FAT32 volumes on hard drives, floppies, USB devices, etc. Natively up to 32GB per partition and at 4 primary partitions or 3primary,1extended+logical(s) starting at locations on the hard drive up to 120GB and beyond.
So you get "MSWIN4.1" OEM text rather than "MSDOS5.0" (or anything else) in your bootsector.

The DOS from WinME was crummier than Win98SE for the most part, it would format FAT32 up to 64GB but not very compatible with the rest of the world. Scandisk from WinME is the better choice for FAT32 though.

Caution: only allow one primary FAT partition to be unhidden per hard drive per reboot to DOS.

You'll need a modern disk-editor/partition-tool (like DMDE which has a DOS version) for things like easily changing the hidden/unhidden bit. And the active/inactive bit (boot flag). In the partition table. And for displaying the "OEM Name" for each bootsector in readable/editable form.

Label each volume uniquely descriptive and watch it as the DOS multi-partition hierarchy re-alphabetizes your volume letters upon reboot the way it is supposed to do, according to master/slave primary/logical order.

The AGPL exists and already fully addresses that.
I've tested the writing loop you describe and the biggest problem seems to be that currently GPT4 is good at generalities, but gets into loops of generalities that doesn't drive things forward when you expect too much detail.

It's not that it can't improve the writing further per se, but that it takes very detailed prompting to get it to give a detailed enough critique to do so consistently enough across even a page (e.g. ot might come uo qith a great lone but proceed to edit out the best paragraph elsewhere) to the point that I tend to agree with you in as much as it at least will take a much more convoluted chain of prompts to maybe get there at the moment, and you'll be fighting GPT4s tendency to actively cheer on really juvenile prose the whole way.

In a way I think the biggest hindrance to get it to write better at the moment is that it has awful "taste", and having to explicitly give it a long list of rules to check against is a poor substitute.

As an aide, though, I think you could get reasonable but not great results at "bridge these two paragraphs and maintain the style" type tasks, or expanding descriptions into a paragraph or two, though more so for non-fiction writing.

For fleshing out the basics of a technical spec and pointing out what I've missed I've had decent luck, on the other hand. It's not come up with any Earth shattering revelations, but for a dry spec that's not the point.
You're asking about freshness, not oldness. IE: we have systems that are designed to show fresh content, relatively speaking -- matter of days. It's not the same as "this article is from 2005 so it's old don't show it." And it's also not what is being generally being discussed in getting rid of "old" content. And also, especially for sites publishing a lot of fresh content, we get that really fast already. It's essential part of how we gather news links, for example. And and and -- even with freshness, it's not "newest article ranks first" because we have systems that try to show the original "fresh" content or sometimes a slightly older piece is still more relevant. Here's a page that explains more ranking systems we have that deal with both original content and fresh content: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/ranking...

A lot of people start open source businesses under the good faith assumption that competitors will be fair and that the people who do the actual work capture the value, and that people genuinely contribute back.

License technicalities don't matter. If people use permissive licenses as an excuse to justify an ecosystem that is parasitic any such system will die out, it cannot sustain itself.
Ideology is great until people need to eat. That’s what revenue is for.

High level, times have changed. Source should be (my two cents, ymmv) about a mutually beneficial partnership between builders and users, not “give it all away for free or you’re not legit.” Users get to understand and extend what they’re running (via source), while the project steward/maintainer/owner can continue to do so.

It is a balance to be maintained in tension, not an equilibrium to be reached.
> abusing the spirit of open source for their own monetary gain

For many, the spirit of open source is to allow it to be used in any way, commercially or otherwise. I don't consider it acting in bad faith at all to use what's out there and made available, and I am happy to give things away as in beer. Otherwise it's not open source (which is also fine, not all software has to be open source).

To abuse the spirit of open source, make arbitrary rules about its use.

If you call that abuse.. using "open source" as a marketing gimmick to attract developers and users is abuse as well.
Even today, Blizzard games tend to run pretty easily on Wine. I always attributed it to them using a fairly old tech stack, but maybe it's the reverse and Wine development has just continued to go above and beyond for those games.
> companies like Amazon abuse FOSS licenses to stand up their own hosted versions of open source projects

This is not an abuse of FOSS licenses. If developers have a problem with this, there are open source licenses that would make this use case less attractive for Amazon, like the AGPL.

There are only two answers for planes: Hydrogen or synthetic fuels. That is because weight is the overwhelming critical factor for planes. And batteries are about 100x too heavy for this purpose. No amount of handwaving can get around that part. People really need to stop suggesting battery powered planes. They are merely revealing their total lack of basic understanding of this subject.
Then it is a question of choosing the right license - AGPL.
I'm sorry you can't understand text.
> If somebody doesn't want any competitors they should have read the licenses and understood them, and not simply used open source as a buzzword for marketing purposes.

One should always read software licenses before installing a dependency, regardless of how a particular project is marketed. This would still be necessary even if companies weren’t using the term “open source” to refer to this type of license.

People make it sound like companies are out to confuse you by calling it “open source”. If you’re the kind of developer that blindly uses a piece of software because someone claimed it was open source without doing due diligence on how it can be legally used, then you deserve whatever consequences may arise.
My understanding is that he tried renaming PayPal to X, and that's actually the event that led to him being replaced (because there were actually people around then to tell him that it was a terrible idea).

ctrl+f for "open source", and note where they stop using it. Note that they describe this change to maintain "open, freely available products", not open source.

I think they're being more honest than others in not saying that changing their license is not to remain "open source". It's evident they know the pushback they would get from calling this "open source".

Yes, though the Metaverse in "Snow Crash" very much looks and acts like a (mostly) walled garden. With Lamina1 I suspect NS is trying to connect what he envisioned with SC with the crypto/blockchain movement that was inspired by "Cryptonomicon". (Which hasn't proven to be a good fit.)

Does your city not monitor and control the short term rental market to alleviate this? Many cities have strict controls on rentals less than 30 day.

One of the problems is owning a short term rental is seen/marketed at low-touch or passive income, but It takes a lot of work to run sort term rentals. We've ran into all sorts of crazy situations that take work to properly manage.

It’s not quid-pro-quo. At the same time, does that seem ethical (even if it is legal) to build some dysfunctional business models exploiting somebody’s open source for profit and not contributing back?

There are many motivations such as mindshare, not reinventing the wheel and creating standards that motivate people and companies to contribute to open-source. Ripping-off other’s work - even when legally ok - is not right.

The system is designed to foster collaboration and not to enable shitty business models.
Scale is a very subjective thing since one is analog (86B neurons) and one is digital (175B parameters). Additionally, consider how many compute hours GPT 3 took to train (10,000 V100s were set aside for exclusive training of GPT 3). I'd say that GPT 3 scale vastly dwarfs the human brain, which runs at a paltry 12 watts.

That’s irrelevant: the point of the letter is exactly to make it not illegal. If anything, it proves they didn’t have a (literal) letter of marque.

Errr, assuming that your electricity comes from a combustion source and a simple cycle power plant, at _best_ the work derived from the heat is about 35%. You need to account for that in your 80-90% calculation. (That is, .9 * .35 = .315 using the upper range of your guesstimate.)

In other words, the waste heat has already been lost to the environment at the power generation source in that case.

As always "it depends"... (In this case on the power generation mix in your local grid)
This is only true for very few markets that have ridiculous subsidies for land owners via laws that limit property tax, such as California.

Most other places re-assess all property values on an ongoing basis and charge you accordingly.

That sounds like what the GP comment is saying. If someone said "turns out open source doesn't work for our business model" it's hard to argue with. If instead they talk about "evolving open source models" and whatnot, it feels like they want the best of both worlds. It's been happening a lot recently that companies pretend they are "open sourcing" something for the PR but really use a much more restrictive license.

They used to do that but now also have their own providers created by API catalog introspection.
TF providers are just wrappers around other APIs - and the vast majority ain't even developed by Hashicorp in the first place.

If Pulumi - another open-source infra-as-code tool (that ain't even a fork of any Hashicorp product AFAICT) - is really the thing scaring Hashicorp away from open source, then that doesn't really do Hashicorp any favors here.
I started a 501(c)(3) with some friends. It didn't require broad public support, just that we intended to grow to such a point.

(I'm not sure exactly what the current support is like; I left the board over a year ago. I think it's around 10 folks that donate somewhat regularly.)

Certainly the political activity provision of 501(c)(6)s are beneficial for this association, and I guess they'd have more scrutiny as three large companies instead of a few high schoolers.
I argue the window is moving as to what “open source” means out of survival. Source available is the new open source, and what young technologists will grow up grinding on. You’ll have folks complain about it during the transition (as happens with any Overton window sort of event), but they’ll move on eventually and a new crop of tech industry will grow up with this as the new normal. Change is inevitable, broadly speaking.
I had just joined a large investment bank and was in NYC for training when I heard that the XPrize flight had succeeded. Although finance has been my career, I grew up wanting to be an astronaut and closely follow space science. I also expected that suborbital manned tourism flights would become routine, and that in time SpaceShipOne and similar designs would be scaled up to reach orbit.

Although the latter didn't happen, I am glad that SpaceX came along and made reusing (!) rockets that land at their own launch pads (!!) routine. It is not impossible that I will someday ride Starship or a descendant to orbit.
Today at a train station in the Netherlands (Utrecht) I noticed something special. I saw the letters hjkl on the sign in reverse order. These letters indentify the platform areas where you can enter the train. Depending on the length of the platform and the area where the train has entrances, it shows the letters.

Either this was super coincidence, or someone at the NS (the Dutch train company) is a vim fan and payed tribute to Bram like this.

Temu is fundamentally different than Wish - it has local warehouses and therefore much faster delivery. It's a competitor to Amazon, not Wish/AliExpress. It trades this off by having a much smaller selection of goods.
But you've offered no actual criteria why the API is bad! Again, most logging users want something to handle nested record contexts for them and per-level methods, most logging implementers want a minimum number of entry points, and that's exactly what this API offers. (It's definitely not zerolog-style where it sacrifices ease of use for performance.)
I like these measurements with ANN-benckmark! They allow to compare performance of different index implementations apples-to-apples i.e. at the same build parameters set rather than using some fixed settings (or, even worse, default settings that are different).

The blogpost is very thorough, lots of measurements of different datasets, including great 1536-dimensional 1M rows dbpedia-openai dataset. Furthermore, a very strong point is that all parameters and method is described and transparent.

Personally I found the entire design and the organization of files/docs/sheets between Google Drive and other apps in the Google ecosystem is confusing as hell. There was no way to follow a specific hierarchy and the commenting/reviewing system felt clunky.

"Scaling across all sectors" is, at best, irrelevant. For decades, most developed countries have run their trains on electricity and their vehicles on gas and diesel, and it caused no problems. If anything, having multiple energy sources for different parts of infrastructure allows a sort of fault tolerance (e.g., from rising oil prices).
He’s had an “everything app” obsession for years (to his modest credit, even before apps as such!), but I charitably put the odds at pulling such a thing off in the US at epsilon above zero. WeChat, LINE and the like developed under very specific regulatory and market conditions that don’t exist in the US, and trying to replicate their products without the gravitational pull that made them successful in the first place is a fool’s errand. “Twitter” could probably limp along indefinitely in a degraded state, but “X” is headed for the treetops at speed.

Yeah, it always confuses me when people release something under e.g. the BSD or MIT license and then complain about "freeloaders."

It's totally understandable to not want companies to profit off of proprietary, closed-source forks of your software. I get it! But there are licenses that you can use to stop that from ever happening (namely [A]GPL). Why not use one of those?
