As an end-user, not competing with HashiCorp, this change doesn't worry me. According to their FAQ [1]:

10. What are the usage limitations for HashiCorp’s products under BSL?
All non-production uses are permitted. All production uses are allowed other than hosting or embedding the software in an offering competitive with HashiCorp commercial products, hosted or self-managed.

24. Can I host the HashiCorp products as a service internal to my organization?
Yes. The terms of the BSL allow for all non-production and production usage, except for providing competitive offerings to third parties that embed or host our software. Hosting the products for your internal use of your organization is permitted.

I don’t know what it is about the ops sector that favors ugly tools, but apparently they don’t care, otherwise Pulumi would see more traction.
Vehicles, data centers, and electronics would be untouched. Solar storm induces currents in long conductors like electrical grid and internet cables. Internet cables being problem is a new thing; I'm sort of surprised since I would expect water and earth to protect them. The big danger is that it will destroy a lot of transformers and those are hard to replace.

My impression is that it is relatively easy to protect the electrical grid by grounding everything.

Also, Carrington event is predictable once the flare happens. The electrical grid can be shut down, and shouldn't be damaged much when shut down. Doing the cold start would be a challenge. As would be making the decision to shut down the grid.
Many of the larger supermarkets in my part of the US have their own grocery delivery service, for what it's worth.

This analogy is wrong on so many levels.

Human sleep would be more aptly related to garbage collection and indexing - neither of which occur when a laptop sleeps. When a computer overheats it throttles performance and sometimes shuts down.
Well, that would be great, solving diabetes. And if it works it's fine to use it as a tool to get back to baseline. But it ignores the very serious root problem: no one is eating a healthy diet.

When you get the nutrients you need, you (people without bigger problems that lead to malnutition/malabsorption, or behavioral issues) no longer crave the fat, salt, sugar bombs that the primitive brain knows can "feed" you. And if you keep the sugar intake low, there are no crashes to try to crawl out of.

But the constant barrage of messaging in western society in particular is eat more, eat bigger, eat junk quality food. 24/7/365 barrage of these messages. It's impossible to ignore and hard to not cave in. Then we have "journalists" more than happy to hawk unhealthy foods and habits at the behest of their sponsors. Bad information is as serious a health crisis as our eating habits and environmental issues.

It does take time, planning and in some cases more money to eat healthy. But it's worth doing what you can, even making small tweaks can make a difference that adds up over time.
Why would Hashicorp give the slightest worry to losing thousands and thousands of non-paying customers?

Because it goes hand in hand with losing hundreds of unpaid developers, testers, bug-reporters and evangelists.

If I wrote an open letter decrying Salesforce for not open sourcing their codebase, nobody would take me seriously. But we expect better from Hashicorp for some reason.

Because the community contributed to the codebase. Salesforce was never open source, Terraform was and took community contributions, that's the reason we have different expectations.

[Docker] can barely muster a viable business

Docker split their development and enterprise offerings into two companies years ago and both are making money.
I can rest easy now that my take on this aligns with Oxide's and I'm not being sarcastic. I've been following the podcast for 2 years now, and you guys are spot on with your stance on opening up and keeping things Open.

It would be ironic though if Hubris ever gets relicensed
One of the scary realizations of adulthood was how little work most white collar workers do and consequently how much they get paid to contribute nothing. After earning a PhD and being a "professional" for a while, I developed a deep respect for blue collar workers.
Money doesn’t buy happiness but it sure does let you flail publicly while desperately seeking validation. Profoundly sad to see someone with so much success and potential do so much harm to themselves and others.
This is perhaps the most incorrect post you will ever find on HN. I am not a huge fan of Terraform. However, TF is made for infra not config. There are several tools out there to manage config like Salt, Ansible and so on.
Dang, I get sleepy if I eat lunch too!

The way I went is to not eat lunch anymore though. :p
I like Terraform and will continue to use it. I'm just an end user that isn't involved in building other product offerings on it or a user of other derivative products.

Even though this really doesn't affect my use case it does feel like kind of a dirty bait and switch. I do hope for a future where there's a version (and Terraform provider module versions) that are actively maintained under a true open source license. I'll favor using those over the official BSL version as much as possible.

I guess it's the CLA that all of the contributors signed that allows this to happen? I wonder if there's a way for open source licenses to address this, and disallow the use of CLAs, or require some CLA clause that doesn't allow sudden switches to non-permissive licenses?
Those are good examples. I'm constantly doing weird one-off things in Ruby or Bash, and maybe I'll ask ChatGPT about more of them.

I really wanted to know what vague things OP's humans were doing, but they haven't responded to anything.

I've been reading your blog since the dark ages. Thanks for the great content over the years!
"Individuals with schizophrenia are 4 to 7 times more likely to commit violent crimes, such as assault and homicide [4,5], and 4 to 6 times more likely to exhibit general aggressive behavior, such as verbal and physical threats [10,11], compared with the general population."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6852683/

That isn't to say that schizophrenia necessarily causes the violent behavior: the two variables might not have any causal relationship at all. But the correlation is there.
Please please pretty please use anything other than Medium. A paid subscription banner on half my screen looks bad on your corporate blog.

The Five-Dollar Model: Generating Game Maps and Sprites from Sentence Embeddings
This architecture seems very similar to existing offerings in the "in-memory data grid" category, like Apache Ignite and Hazelcast. I'm more familiar with Ignite (I built a toy Notion backend with it over a few afternoons in 2020).

The way Ignite works overall is similar. You make a cluster of JVM processes, your data partitioned and replicated across the cluster, and you upload some JARs of business logic to the cluster to do things. Your business logic can specify locality so it runs on the same nodes as the relevant data, which ideally makes things a lot faster compared to systems where you need to pull all your data across the wire from a DB. Like Rama, Ignite uses a Java API for everything, including serializing and storing plain 'ol java objects.

Ignite's architecture isn't focused on "ETL" into "PStates". Instead it's more about distributed "caches" of data. It does have streaming for ingestion (https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/data-streaming), but you can transactionally update the datastore directly (https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/key-value-api/transact...). It also has a "continuous query" feature for those reactive queries to retrieve data (https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/key-value-api/continuo...).

Rama's data-structure oriented PState index seems easier to work with than building indexes yourself on top of Ignite's KV cache, but Ignite also offers an SQL language, so you can insert your data into the KV cache however, add some custom SQL functions, and then accept more flexible SQL querying of your data compared to the very purpose-built PCache things, but still be able to do lower-level or more performance-oriented logic with data locality.

Anyways, if you like some of this stuff but want to use an existing, already battle-tested open source project, you can look for these "in-memory data grid", "distributed cache", kind of projects. There's a few more out there that have similar JVM cluster computing models.

In truth I just don't really care? We've gone through this cycle so many times with various kinds of DRM, from DVD CSS to Denovo to WideVine to Adobe Cloud to various other schemes that at the end of the day just aren't big deals.

A lot of the tech echo chamber bandwagons and freaks out about things like this, but I bet in a few years it'll turn out either a non issue or else alternate browsers will naturally rise to popularity. No point fussing about it beforehand. In the meantime Chrome just works, Google is whatever, Firefox is annoying, and Mozilla just feels irrelevant.

Shrug. I feel way more annoyed by Firefox than anything Google's ever done. Whatever their ideology, their product just isn't great.

> I think people forget that grammars were the staple for parsing natural language and stuffing it into structured form for a very long time before LLMs, and they still mostly are.

This is a rewritten history of natural language processing tech. Years of fine-tuned theory-heavy grammar coding for parsing and generating human language got the field basically nowhere.

They'll just make using it this way illegal and scrutinize purchases/suppliers as usual. NAC has been an over the counter supplement since the 70s and only an uproar from people a few years ago kept it unbanned by the FDA.
No. The argument is not that some people should be placed in a position of power, let alone an irrevocable one.

The argument is that that you cannot organize a society without having some people in positions of power of some sort. And if you explicitly try to avoid that, you'll end up with someone grabbing it anyway.

So it's better to instead think of how you can set up your society to explicitly give the greatest power only for a limited time, with transparency and accountability, and ideally find a way to give it only to competent and well-meaning people.

The Supreme Court could at any time remove the ability of individual judges to issue a nationwide injunction against the federal government. Both Thomas and Sotomayor have made rumblings that they're considering it- it's the most nakedly partisan abuse of the judicial system today. More interestingly, Congress could- by the Constitution!- remove the jurisdiction of some courts to hear some cases.

The impact energy of a 400m diameter asteroid is somewhere in the same ballpark as the deployed nuclear arsenal of the United States.

Even beyond ramping up a new project, it can be important for maintaining existing ones. If a service outage costs a company millions of dollars a minute, it can be worth it to keep a team around that can resolve the occasional outage a few minutes faster even if they have almost nothing to do the rest of the year.

Creating Your Own Fakes Instead of Using Mocking Libraries

I want to explain some of the terms that fly around like fake, mock, shim or stub.

Fake is a general term and can include stubs, mocks, and shims.
Stub provides pre-set answers to calls.
Mock checks interactions and provides pre-set answers.
Shim diverts or changes the behavior of existing calls.

Many things can cause psychosis, so it's difficult to draw cause and effect out of the data.

I've experienced severe psychosis. For me, it was a merging of reality and imagination. I always knew what was real, but my brain couldn't filter and ignore the unreal. I would act as if imagination was reality though I knew it wasn't.

Several people I've talked to have said similar things.

I think of dreams as the result of rebooting the brain mid-defrag. It's chaotic in some way. My experiences with psychosis was far too structured and self-consistent to be a dream.

My theory is there is an active component to psychosis that doesn't fit in with REM sleep as a cause.
The thing a lot of organizations do not appreciate is the distinction between needed labour capacity versus needed daily labour output.

Much like having a military or a fire department, your organization might need a lot of different people with a lot of different skills sitting around sometimes, just because you know that you will eventually need to use them.

Knowledge work is not the same as running a manufacturing line. You have people with highly specialized knowledge and skills who are needed intermittently to keep everything running smoothly. You can try firing them, but in a lot of cases it will end up costing you money in the long run.
If all you want to do is make some basic semantic search, that’s probably true. But I strongly suspect we are only just now starting to scratch the surface of what’s possible with embeddings that come from much more powerful LLMs like Llama2 that can clearly manifest much greater demonstrated “understanding” of sentences they are shown (whatever that means, but intuitively, it seems obvious to me). That’s partly why I made this tool—- to aid in my investigations of LLM embeddings in a convenient and performant way.

There was a fairly major change recently [1]. Before 2014, the FAA used to be biased towards recruits that had been already trained in a program on someone else's dime (military or university). Perhaps their on-the-job training isn't quite good enough to compensate for that change yet.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.

So they bought something for chump change, legally. So your complaint is that they promised it and then had to find a way to get it. Which they did. They didn't violate anything.

So you admit Gates did nothing legally wrong, it just offends you that SCP didn't make as much as you personally feel is valid.

You seem to dislike Bill Gates to an extreme degree to where you find the fact that he did something that is completely legal, and happens in nearly every business, to be abhorent.

Yeah, I was hoping to find some general information on how the Compose key is (or was) supposed to work. It's easy to find info on how to assign the Compose key to a particular key but I haven't found anything on how to actually use it to input more or less complex character codes.

Part of the problem may also be the difference between precomposed and non precomposed glyphs in Unicode, which I don't really understand, but it seems that if a keyboard layout is designed to use precomposed glyphs it may not allow you to further compose those with other code points.

For example there is a character that is a lowercase alpha with both an acute accent and a macron on top. With the right font it displays correctly (it probably wouldn't if I tried to copy-paste it here) but I don't know how to enter it on the keyboard. I suspect that's because there's no precomposed Unicode codepoint for it and my keyboard layout only seems to work with those.

The correct encoding for it is "GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH MACRON" (Unicode name) composed with "'".

I don't realy have any suggestions other than constantly examine how you spend your time, and make adjustments wherd needed. Some examples I can think of are:

1. Try to find ways to combine your exercise time and spending time with your kids. Lots of activities such as sports, martial arts, hiking, etc, might work here.

2. Classify your hobbies and interests into "passive" and "productive." For example, I love reading old science fiction. I also love tinkering with electronics. Reading books is fun, but does produce lasting results in me the way that learning new stuff by building gadgets does. So, I make more time for my workbench, and my reading is reserved for times when I want a bit of entertainment, but can't be at the workbench (such as on lunch at work).

3. Check your screentime. It's disturbingly easy for us to lie about how much time we actually waste on our smartphones, computers and televisions. Every few months I have to start jotting down times I sit down to my computer, or get an app to track my YouTube watching, just to keep things to a minimum. These days it's less, but it took awhile to build that mindfulness and set up some mental pivot points for when I've had enough Internet for the day.

I have no idea if any of this will help you. We all have different values and needs that factor in to how we spent our most precious resource; time. As a fellow dad (although my kid is an adult now), I'd say make most of that time about your kids. You might be surprised how much you grow as a person just by doing that, although with 3 kids, I imagine you already have a pretty good idea about that!
Show HN: Dicetray.gg A virtual dice tray for tabletop RPGs and board games
I have been working on dicetray.gg for a while now, and I am looking to show it off and get some feedback.

Doing my best to emulate a physical dice tray. Right now, you can:

-Add up to 10 of each dice to your tray.

-Roll all dice in your tray, or select just some to roll by clicking on them.

-Join a multiplayer log to see and share roll results with friends.

Features I am looking to add soon:

-Per dice customization. You can now use the (`) key to open a development panel to customize all the dice.

I would appreciate any feedback on the UI, user experience, and performance as well as any feature ideas.
