How much time have you spent with LLama? The foundation model, not the chat trained one.

I deployed it on chat servers and Reddit and no one noticed.
Ahem... Welcome to VC-fueled hypergrowth-capitalism!
I think it is a text book example of the main difference in DNA between Google and Apple:
Google is all about crowdsourcing.
Apple is all about curation.

What's in their DNA is being corporate entities answerable to shareholders. Anything else is their culture, which, unfortunately, is too amenable to change.
Oh, and in this analogy, their blood is money.
It’s a good question, as long as the why is not a burden to be met.

First it’s a useful skill set that helps troubleshoot problems in code and apps that run on networks by knowing how such things work.

Second, try to think of it as a private cloud instead of a network. Because it uses a lot of the same types of software cloud provider do. Proxmox is one example that is a self hosted vps provider that is tremendous. So, it’s a private hybrid cloud that can push from your cloud to the other voids (or back). Build using a private hybrid cloud and you can push to,or between manu clouds

Wifi is for convenience, wired is for reliability. When wifi gets jammed, spotty, interfered with which can happen more often than imagined, especially during break ins, wired wins. Transferring files? Wired wins. 4K streaming ther doesn’t cut out when multiple devices are doing it at once? Wired wins.

Self-hosting is much easier than it was 5,10,15 years ago. Tools like proxmox loaded with yunohost running on a 1L usff/mini/tiny pc with 64 gb of ram and mirrored ssds ther maybe mirror to another i de oval box can sip power but power production grade apps for you personally. If you buy big beefy servers it will cost a bit more electricity.

Still, hosting locally can quickly pile up the savings on saas not spent.

Imagine being able to keep up all your test projects you might spin up a paid VPS for and run for way too long. They might not be production grade, but there is something valuable about having them around.

Data backups - the cloud is just someone else’s computer sold as convenient but not secure. Having your own local copy when the internet goes down means not as much of your life or work goes down. Remember it’s not a backup if there is only one copy of it.

Backing up your computers in the cloud are only so helpful when they are down, a lot of time to download them. Local backups win again.

Multiple connections can matter for people who wfh and can’t be down, or have spotty internet that is up.

If you like smart home tech, it’s a ticking clock until the cloud based supports for it that are usually free dissapear leaving perfectly good gear unusable. Instead you can run a local instance of home assistant, etc.

I used to host morethan I wanted ina. Data centre much like this rack. I was hesitant to come back to self hosting or homelabs but j have realized a home server that runs like an appliance (in between that wiring) capturing the sum of all my data and worn as services come and was pretty much unavoidable. Luckily it’s getting easier and easier to do.

Hope that helps.
I mean... Just look at how to comment some line:

`git appraise comment -f README.md -l 2 -m "Ah, so that's what this is" 1e6eb14c8014`
I mean, they allow you to create a manifest that then auto provisions some infrastructure, so... Shrug

I'm being half-serious. Of course the point is that "competing" is deliberately very poorly defined, and it's entirely on the whim of hashicorp to decide whether or not you're competing and then impose a lot of legal costs on you.

It's a racket.
it's already possible via this Firefox fork https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser/release...
Yeah, it needs to be doped with a room temperature superconductor, lol.
This is an intentionally crippled product.
Google can't afford to give regulators a reason to go after them for a couple billion dollars. Google or Microsoft could easily have created a DocuSign competitor and killed DocuSign, like they killed netscape, wordperfect, etc. Now that they respectively control the internet and the enterprise software suite, they have one primary goal: protect and grow the cash cow. Everything else is a marketing exercise or a concessionary project given to keep busy the tens of thousands of computer scientists that they are paying to keep out of competitors/startups payrolls.
You don't pay for the support requests, you pay for the work of letting you update to the next minor release at your own pace, having those updates be rock solid, and having security fixes even on older releases.

In other words you pay for not having to open support requests.
I don't think he really cares. Sure, he would like that.

But if he needs to choose between his "moral code" and his big fat palace.

The palace wins
Great idea for a simple fix. We’ve worked around the issue already, but it’d be nice if we could just trust our own authenticated content without the extra hoops.
hacking games based on the quake engine is how I learned to program initially (ld preload hooking and offsets and such). this brings back memories of hacker servers where we played against other hackers. it was a mix of programming skills and human agility. really fun times... the quake engine sent all world state to every player so you could build ESP functionality and other neat things.
No, what I'm saying is, if you make a 1000 raise, your subsidies should go down by 0. Otherwise you're effectively being taxed by losing the subsidies (even if gradually).

Make the subsidies universal. You make 500k a year and want food stamps? Sure thing. You're being taxed so much on every dollar above 180k that it hardly makes a difference.
To me, none of this is surprising or undesirable - ie the browsers are doing the right thing. Content is there to be rendered, not hidden. Status codes are not there for the average end user.
> Wish you hadn't downvoted him.

If this directed at me, well, I didn't downvote anybody. I saw the parent post being downvoted a bunch, and wanted to know what they were talking about.

I don't currently have an Android phone. Having a better browser is one of the few things which would want me to move from iOS.

It was an honest question.
I would wait for Fabien to write a book on Quake I :)

Shame, guess you have to buy the next gen CPU from Intel, which will surely not have any exploits.
I'm not affiliated in any way with one of their competitors. Co-workers and I sent bug fix PR's to for example Vault. The last couple of years almost none of them were merged. These were small bug fixes, not (large) feature additions.
As others have pointed out, businesses should just ditch FL/OSS licenses as a whole and be a closed source product from the start.

There's a pattern here that, person builds an open source product, gets corporate sponsoring, funds a company, then suddenly the open source product steers away from open source because it's upsetting the corporate sponsors.

If you're so bothered by others using your work and not giving back (something that is ENTIRELY allowed by FL/OSS licenses), why make it open in the first place?

It kinda passes the image that these companies want to benefit from free work, but the moment someone uses their product for free and doesn't give back, it's just a nuisance for them.

as always, the hobbyist linux hacker is the problem (/s)
Oh yeah, I still have a 404 page that's padded with comments because its only contents are a title and an image.

iOS Safari has supported declarative content blocking extensions since iOS 9 in 2015 and a full extension API since iOS 15 released about two years ago.
I’m not hung up on equality. I’m hung up on the huge gap between some and the rest of the world.

Which, to me, reflects a huge gap in power and freedom.

One decides what the other does. One can decide how much the other will earn. One can decide wether or not the other will still have a job tomorrow. The other needs a job if they want to have a roof over their head and food on the table in six months.

Which is why I still don’t find your definition satisfactory. Sure alignment of interests matters, but to me it’s not enough.

It’s been an insightful discussion, and I’ve truly enjoyed it, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach a conclusion we can both agree on.
Are you saying that you won't offer a refund even if you cannot provide the promised service (e.g. the unit has been damaged by fire) or that you won't offer a refund in the case where your guest can't reach the unit because of travel restrictions?

If I had booked and found that you could no longer provide the service you promised but refused a refund I would feel as though I were scammed.
What exactly did VCs subsidize here?
Example scenario: you are medicine doctor and would like to research a disease. You have csv data. You train ml pipeline to check which features have predictive power.

We have many researchers that are using our open source python package and to make it even easier to use, we created web app with gui that you can run locally.
Wow, no, it attempted to do nothing of the sort!

Joseph Weizenbaum's ELIZA, running the DOCTOR script, was created to provide a parody of "the responses of a non-directional psychotherapist in an initial psychiatric interview"[15] and to "demonstrate that the communication between man and machine was superficial".[16] (Wikipedia)

We all knew ELIZA was a joke, and we used it that way. ELIZA was so hilarious that it was integrated into Emacs with responses from Zippy the Pinhead.

ELIZA was on the level of jive and the Swedish Chef translator. We loved text processing for purposes of humor and entertainment. That tradition is carried forward by the entertainment utility called ChatGPT.
IMHO any proposed solution (for any programming language) should also include a step-debugger that's directly integrated into the edit-compile-test workflow, otherwise people don't know what they are missing out on.
Yikes.

Is AMD affected by anything like this at the moment?

They push to their own server and ask you to pull from there. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/6/25/128 for an example.
The proposed solution of a text editor and makefile is a lot easier to setup than the what's proposed in the blog post, I would call this the opposite of gatekeeping.
I've migrated stuff away from AWS. It's not hard, and AWS doesn't make it hard to do.

Egress costs are where AWS makes money. You can get around that by negotiating lower cloudfront costs then basically exfiltrating your data via cloudfront. We were getting < .01/gb pricing (.0071?) for only like a $2k/mo commitment.

The article shows the author holds some grudges against Apple.
Those grudges probably influence their judgement.

I am not an ideologue (and I frankly struggle to understand why people find it appealing to be ideologues).

I just want there to be a lot of software made that is useful to me. Software is far more useful to me if I can read and modify its source code.

So my metric is just whether I think something will incentivize people to make more or less of that kind of software. I worry that people will make less and less software that runs as a service in this fashion, as it n becomes more and more obvious that the benefits of that software flow to giant integrated cloud platform providers rather than to the people who make the software.

Being a chump is not motivating, and I think that's the current incentive structure. So I like seeing people try different structures that seem to me like they structure the incentives better.

But you're totally right, philosophy has nothing to do with it for me.
Even one cent per gigabyte would pay for so much of that stuff.

If subsidizing the networking products would require a 10x or higher markup on egress, then that is not the correct way to organize prices.
Firefox Focus is so poorly thought out.

How can you have a content-blocking browser that only allows one single tab at a time?

It happens so many times that while browsing an ad-heavy page an ad gets opened in a new tab (since Firefox fails to block it), but since it's a mono-tab browser it simply replaces the one I was browsing.
I find your comment to be at the absolute peak of sanctimony. Who are you to decide if it is necessary or not? Furthermore, why are you justified in negatively stereotyping Americans – a diverse group of individuals?
Not to nitpick but this is NOT the right takeaway from P vs NP.

"I’ve read source code to games since then, and I’ve seen all sorts of weird stuff… I’ve seen functions with nesting levels that go past the right side of the screen, I’ve seen functions a mile long that do a million things, you know. It was an early lesson that you could do cool things with simple code."

Guilty as charged!

I used to chronically write macaroni code. So you would have like 25 lines of code that ended up being the back bone of like a dozen things that would have another dozen things stacked on top of each. Would execute super fast BUT would amount technical debt quickly and eventually said functions would become untouchable because you would risk breaking a lot of stuff build on top of stuff.

Comments would try to clear it up, but communication skills where not the best. Explain function but not workings. Things like - "Does SINE table". "Table Defrag". "Binary resolve" etc.

Get a lot of people going "What the F*K is this shit?! But... it does the job damn fast". If it was any field other that video games, I would not have lasted long and neither would the product...
Edit: btw, I had originally upvoted them, even though their original statement was a little rude, and now flagged off the page (I think).
Thanks for this. It makes a lot of sense. I will tell my wife and we'll scratch our heads discussing it. But I already have a vague feeling we may end up with the famous last words "how hard can it be" :)

What's your opinion on these "mitigations" just off the top of my head? I won't argue. Just finding food for thought.

- I'm already writing off the first 6 or 12 months after the birth of the second kid. It will be hell. No question about that. But when (if?) we are able to send the second kid to child care we should have a chunk of day time that is "free". Not to discount your experience but I imagine you have just gone through the hardest part.

- It should be easier when the first kid is older? I know it's not realistic to expect the first kid to actually help but at least they aren't trying to kill themselves all the time. I'm hoping to find some activities that would allow me to spend maybe 70% attention to the second kid and 30% to the first, and have them both be not too pissed off.

- Other economy of scale things? Get both kids to go to the same child care. Going to the park together. Eat together etc

Are you using C99 features? I find the "new" features extremely enjoyable, it feels like a different language compared to C89 or the common C/C++ subset.
> For example, if all of your best friends agree on one thing, and you’re like, yeah, they just don’t get it: you’re in denial.

That is dangerously close to woo, but is a good example on the lack of rigor in the field.

Of course, any true believer disagreeing with me will can now just point towards me being in denial.
Other than calorie restriction, is there a method to extend mice lifespan?

I mean actually extending it. For example if the natural lifespan is 3 years, can we now reliably get 4 or 5 years?
I played the original Quake in college the year it came out. They gave away so much of the game on demo floppy disks that your could play deathmatch for free. We took over a whole computer room in the journalism school (trash 486s, but nobody really used that room so we were left alone).

Quake II was at my first proper job, at DEC. I worked on the server/storage support team. At 5pm when the phone lines closed we'd fire up Quake II on a server and at least 20 people would hang around for an hour or two after work to smoke cigarettes and play Q2. The mods are terrific. One person used a perfectly crafted Homer Simpson mod, complete with sounds effects sampled from the show. Also remember a "Bananas in pyjamas" skin and a small floaty robot (which was a bit of a cheat because it was harder to see than Homer). And the maps! Christ, so many great maps. Some of them are in Xonotic, and I still play DM in them occasionally.
Yeah, I was doing Iceraven for a bit, but it was a pain to keep updated.

Super stoked with this news this morning.

> None of this solves C's only REAL problem (in my opinion) which is the lack of dependency management.

I thought this too for a long time, but the more I'm exposed to languages with "proper" dependency management the more I appreciate the C way of just copying external library sources into the project (and I only consider libraries which make this easy, e.g. if they come with their own complex build system files they already lost - just give me a bunch of headers and source files, and maybe a readme with a list of configuration defines).
I’m in Spain and get 10Gbit symmetric which comes down to about 7000mbps up and down on speedtests to my airbnb (in a small town 30min away from a touristic hotspot) for 30 euro’s. My home in Barcelona gets 1gbit symmetric for 25 euro.

Competition here has gotten pretty good with lots of virtual carrier being allowed by law to use telefonicas ftth which has driven prices down.

I’m the opposite to you where I’m always surprised when I hear people in fairly big towns/cities in US/UK etc are still on less then 100mbit symmetric!
`apt install` is just installing a whole lot of utilities without specifying any version. This environment will only last a couple of years (and that's generous because the kind of stuff you're installing, like cmake, gcc, curl, maybe ruby(?) tend to be stable, but at some point one of them will break something you were using).

It's the old dilema everyone faces: pin every dependency version to guarantee you have a stable environment that will work in 20 years as long as things can still be downloaded? OR use the latest of everything, making a hugely unstable environment you have to keep fixing every few months, but at least get the latest "security patches" and other improvements (as well as new bugs)?

Sorry then. Just working off context clues.
Great rhetorical question which touches on the issues nicely.

Something special does feel lost by us being able to play a (near) perfect violin sound at the press of a button.

On the other hand, some lovely pieces have been made with those buttons.

It seems reasonable that new technologies might stretch both of these outcomes, maybe not in equal parts.

For what it's worth, I always book my flights and hotel stays non-refundable if that's a cheaper option. Except during the pandemic travel restrictions, I've never had to cancel a single flight or hotel reservation so I've figured it's an unnecessary cost.
