This is quite sad. I'm also curious how projects that integrate Terraform, such as the OpenShift Installer will deal with this. I'm pretty sure there is at least one project in that ecosystem that spins up OCP instances on demand. I wonder if Hashicorp would consider that competing...
Probably not supplied, I’ve got no IPv6 on any connection I have access to other than a few Azure VMs (and it’s a PITA to set up so we haven’t bothered)

What we need are LLMs that can use the tools for mathematics (and other disciplines) that already exist and to write and execute new programs to hopefully solve novel problems, or at least to be able to glue the existing tools together with shells.
So why does anyone care much at all about GPU RAM size for AI?

> when in reality all it does is set targets using a declarative stye

That's like the hello world of cmake builds

Bigger cmake builds are doing dependency resolution, configuration tests, and configuration for development or release builds/installs.

Go poke at the cmake logs and result artifacts in Debug/Release build types and see if it's "just declaring targets."
I agree. But there are an awful lot of younger devs who really do seem to confuse "open source" with "source available". It's worth educating people about this.

Definitely a missed opportunity to make the EV Hummer a small city car or possibly even a bicycle.

But I guess the EV platform forced their hand and they had to make it a big truck, like all the other Hummers.

You're free to decide open source isn't working for you. (Well, assuming you're not using any open source software that has decided on viral licenses because that's the payment _they_ expect)

You're not free to decide your source available model is open source and reap the marketing benefits of open source without the costs.

The app that does everything always seems to stink.

It's no coincidence that my favorite note taking app is ... Apple's Notes App. I've used other apps but I've found that all that heft from all the extra features makes it more of a hassle for me in the end.

I get how it happens, even my current employer / small team are looking into internal documentation routes and ... oh man the list of things people want just goes on and I fear leads to some beastly solution.

I've spent most of my career bootstrapping and I don't think this is true. If you are going to be the kind of startup that raises outside funding, you're better off following the YC playbook than you are trying to build negotiating leverage by achieving PMF with a slow go-to-market. Three big things I think you're missing here: first, the relatively low cost of previous-to-priced-round funding, second, the outsized impact of social proof (from YC itself to seed funders, from YC to A-round investors, and from seed funders), and third, the marginal value of a going-concern bootstrapped business to an A-round investor, versus the ability to plausibly tell a story about rapidly growing to a point where you can earn the investor a high-multiple return on their investment.

I think it might help to remember the investment strategy VC firms have. No matter how you structure a startup, it is more likely than not to fail; that's what companies do. The winners in an investment portfolio have to pay for the losers, which mean the winners have to pay big. And funds themselves have lifespans; for several reasons, they need to reach an answer on investments within a set timespan.

I think not raising money at all is a great strategy, and when it's viable, it's probably always superior. But if you're going to raise at all, slogging it out on pure sweat equity isn't a great way to build up credibility for an A-round. It might have been in 1999, but I don't think it is now; now, I think if you want to raise an A-round, the happy path is to raise a syndicated seed round first, and clearing the way for that seed round is probably one of the 3 biggest things you get out of YC.

Well then, according to the meaning you are assigning these words, Windows must be open source.

Which, of course, is obviously false. Which means the words have different meaning than what you ascribe to them.

Source available means you can view the source code, by abiding to the terms the owner of the code sets.

Closed source means you can’t change or redistribute that source, regardless of whether you are allowed to view it.

> Also, it sounds like they could save money by not using cloud.

This always comes down to opportunity cost and staffing. If their team doesn’t include Postgres or MySQL experts, or security experts, etc. outsourcing that to AWS allows them to spend their staff budget on things they cannot outsource.

One thing to remember is that your organization can only do so many things a year. That number varies based on complexity, internal overhead, customer and regulatory overhead, etc. but it’s finite and lower than you think. If you’re spending time on MySQL patching or trying to figure out how to patch your servers, that’s taking decisions away from your product. That can still be the right call but one thing I’ve noticed over the years is that many people are prone to dramatically underestimating that cost.
this is crazy. I wish they explained better how they solve the constraint to find the new point position.

It's tough to hear and communicate, but TL;DR: it's very good for HN headlines to make a $X.cpp but it's not the right tool for products.

There's only going to be more of these models and ONNX starts from the right place, cross-platform and from base principles rather than coupling tightly to one model structure.

Most importantly, it is freakin' awesome, the comments thus far, 30 in, don't reflect what its like to use or it's technical realities.*

* the main threads of discussion are "not even wrong": float16 is big compared to float4 (its trivial to quantize to your liking) and looking for an alternative that supports CoreML (ONNX is the magic that makes your model take advantage of CoreML / WebGPU / WebGL / whatever Android's marketing name for its API is etc. etc. etc.)

The value of the YC network is difficult to even price. A Bookface profile alone is more flow on cutting-edge B2B than Oracle gets out of some crazy-senior sales/BD type.

You’re going to get in front of any VC even remotely in your sector if you do anything interesting and solidly executed.

And if you bust out completely you’re going to be on a first name basis with dozens of people who didn’t and now run highly-connected going concerns.

And you sign a highly-standardized, heavily-scrutinized SAFE with very founder-friendly convertibility?

Anyone who is meh on that? Must be fucking nice.
PgAudit: Open-Source PostgreSQL Audit Logging
Can I ask where Pulumi gets revenue from? (Honest question first time I have heard of you, quick look seems to be a CentOS for hashicorp ?)

I love the ethos of open source and have spoken at and helped run conferences, and had the pleasure of being paid to develop it - but the productivity I had when paid ten hours a day to work on OSS compared to whenever I get a chance between work family and everything else, well, it's better for everyone to get paid and release code, than not get paid and not write the code.

I see these semi-commercial licenses as the equivalent of a legal "just don't take the piss".

Would be interested in your side of the question. How do we keep on developing the code as well as keeping it open?
How to Pay Off Your Emotional Debt
> Why is HashiCorp making this change?
>
> We strongly believe in the value of openly sharing source code and enabling practitioners to solve their problems, building communities, and creating transparency. HashiCorp provides feature-rich products to the community for free, and that development is made possible by our commercial customers who partner with us. By shifting to this license, HashiCorp can better manage commercial uses of our source code and continue to invest in our thriving community of practitioners, many of whom are contributors, in a manner that will not impede their work.

i strongly appreciate the FAQ but this part felt weak/not the whole truth. What is not being said? who is hashicorp afraid of? there wasnt a doubt in my mind before and now there is.

indeed i just saw a startup demo today show off a feature that they admitted was just Vault in a wrapper (they even called their thing Vault haha) and that was it, but i would not have thought Hashicorp would mind them at all (its a very new startup)
It’s really interesting when someone takes contributions under the MPL license for years only to relicense later under a restrictive license.

IMO they should just avoid open-sourcing the cloud platform if they want to sell it.

Also, why not just have gone with GPL since the beginning to at least benefit from the repackaging too?

Ask HN: 11 Year (7 in FAANG) laid off dev needing career advice
Background:

I've had many years of experience, but essentially only 1 year of experience in any one thing. It's all been pretty random, though notably very little frontend. To get specific without being too specific, in recent years I've implemented a filesystem, made a testing framework, added functionality to a C++ library, created a middleman between kernel space and userspace, etc. The takeaway is I can do lots of things, but am not an expert in anything.

Problem:

Judging by job postings, the two main categories that even remotely fit me are Infrastructure or Backend. The problem is I have huge holes in those categories - I haven't dealt with the setup of CI/CD, created APIs, used Kubernetes, or done anything to do with distributed computing. The extent of my backend web experience were small scale and lived on a single machine.
While I have no doubt I could pick things up quickly, the fact is I lack the experience that basically every position is looking for. So far, recruiters won't even give me the time of day. Even if we do have a call, I usually don't even advance to the technical screening.

Solution?

Obviously, need to choose a focus and try to convince someone I am capable of performing. Let's say that's Backend. But what can I do about the massive hole in my experience?

I've been doing Kubernetes tutorials, but the pessimist in me fears that in this job market, there will always be another candidate with actual real world experience that will get the job instead. I would also never be able to simulate a large enough load at home to gain experience in solving scalability issues. Would having played with Kubernetes at home matter at all to prospective employers?

I feel like a fish out of water right now. Has anyone been in my position? How did you solve it?
Is there a post that covers the "why?" of all this? As someone researching maybe running some Ethernet for more stable WiFi and faster Internet access for general stuff, maybe some fiber for infotainment other purposes since it can lengthen various cables, and hooking up some security and nature cameras, I can't fathom why all of this is needed outside of it just being a hobby or running some sort of business (trading?) at home. For example, isn't $600 for redundant Internet for like the minutes the Internet is out every year worth it? Why is that level of connectivity needed?

I don’t want the entire company to be added to any teams. Maybe one.

But I think it’s funny that someone said “20 is not enough but 30 is too many.” And then implemented it.

Setting such an arbitrary limit so low is what is interesting to me. Fight for an opinion of “none” or “one and only one.” But allowing the hellscape of 25 teams where people accidentally invite all employees to their meeting, but not allowing 100 teams is funny.
I believe you are misreading this data.

From the report you referenced:

Vacant year-round units comprised 7.9 percent of total housing units

Table 3 shows the raw numbers in thousands, so add 3 decimal places and you see that there are:

15M vacant houses

11.5M vacant year round

6.8M held off market
you're right i hate the damn overhead too.

i despised typescript for years until i tried it again recently. these days the developer tools are better.

prettier now formats it very well. eslint now lints it very well. tsx and ts-node now lets me run my ts files without compile step to js before i can run it with node. on frontend, vitejs has templates for react with typescript projects.

im a performance freak too, i currently use uwebsockets.js instead of express/fastify/hapi/koa. i wrote my own redis client instead of node-redis and ioredis. i fucking hate overhead too, haha.

i think my strongest preference on typescript stems from my frustration on very large projects. say thousands of commits every month, at that scale typescript really helps a lot in catching bugs before we even run our code.

Does the difference only come from the earth curvature? I’m thinking if two lines each split the population in half, their unique intersection must also be the general balance point (for a flat surface anyway)

Ok, but as far as the users are concerned, do the layers add much value to this use-case?
Can we foresee what the consequences would be if it doesn't stay within range?

Is it 'just' a matter of adding some sufficiently elusive heavy particle to makes the numbers come out okay without really disturbing anything else, or is there any meaningful sense in which we'd get a fifth force like the BBC article suggests (maybe that we can make nice predictions about)?

I imagine it will most likely be nothing, but curiosity about the counterfactual just can't be helped :)

My guess is kids today can be effective with less knowledge, depending on what one is trying to do. Some prompt engineering, JS, Python, etc can accomplish a lot.

JS is appearing everywhere, and Python isn't far behind. Both seem approachable for modest projects. Basic had its charms, yet also becomes difficult to maintain as it grows -- not unlike many modern stacks. I suppose the primary difference is the stack is deeper, with many more layers.

I recall a friend going deep with Basic in the 90s while I was more pragmatic. I only knew Batch scripting, Kilk n Play, and various other scripting and gaming tools. Yet I had already made several prototype games, more functionality, 3D models and character animations, and even learned some BBcode and HTML to help mod a gaming forum. He had ... some very unimpressive screen drawing demos.
This post has very little to do with C development and far more to do with using Docker to have quasi-reproducible development environments.

Quasi because when your provisioning automation is doing things like `apt update` and grabbing the latest and greatest toolchains from third party repos, you're still producing an entirely unpredictable result.
These are good observations, thank you!

> The first case would be preferred if the API is for e.g. general queries of companies in some region. The second case might be preferred if your API only deals with those specific companies and has a different structure for each one (for good reasons).

At the moment, I don't know if we will expand to the second use case. Because scope is limited and data set is also limited (mostly contains generic data).

I think in that case it might make sense to go with option 1 and eventually introduce v2 which covers option 2.

It’s almost like a tuning fork. When the mapping becomes 6=F the two separate tuning forms are now sympathetic to a frequency.
Do you use a crimper?
I am guessing it's similar to "Inverse kinematics".

There are many methods of modelling and solving inverse kinematics problems.
The most flexible of these methods typically rely on iterative optimization to seek out an approximate solution, due to the difficulty of inverting the forward kinematics equation and the possibility of an empty solution space. The core idea behind several of these methods is to model the forward kinematics equation using a Taylor series expansion, which can be simpler to invert and solve than the original system.

Seems to me that all the RHEL derivatives were perfectly content to let RH set the standards for enterprise linux. RH doesn't like that arrangement. SUSE probably wouldn't mind it.

All the derivatives have their EL8 and EL9 based distributions they've committed themselves to support for some time, so I'm sure they'll maintain bug for bug compatibility as best they can given the circumstances. No reason for them to keep following RH after that.
Luckily I've just remembered I don't need to maintain or contribute to terraform providers anymore.

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm running an AI-powered Discord bot off a free ARM server from Oracle, I cringe when I hear founders complaining about the "GPU shortage" or "Nvidia monopoly". I'm convinced most people just buy whatever can fit the 70b model because... apparently that's what they think they need.

Unless you're running a multitenant GPU instance or aim to beat OpenAI at their own game, you probably can get by with consumer grade hardware.
