> carrying around 30 disks is no small feat.

20-22TB HDDs are available nowadays, so more like 14-15 disks.
I respect that. I often wish I had the courage/self-discipline to give up my cell phone.
Nothing's truly unlimited in the universe, so either your law bans the use of the term or accepts a finite universe.
You can also go HTAP with TiDB which has TiKV for OLTP and TiFlash (Raft-based columnar replicas) for OLAP.
Context. I can say the sentence “I’m playing this record for you live on air now”, and everyone knows what is meant. So did you when you read the headline, presumably. These are not mathematical terms.
> Mark Lemley observed this happening nearly 20 years ago, in his prescient, seminal article, “Terms of Use.”: The problem is that the shift from property law to contract law takes the job of defining the Web site owner’s rights out of the hands of the law and into the hands of the site owner.

With "contracts" of adhesion proliferating, and how impossible it has become to exist in the modern world without acceding to them (something as simple as buying a new SSD involves agreeing to one), this problem is getting worse by the day.

The law is becoming increasingly irrelevant, and more and more we are ruled by one-sided "contracts" from giant companies that are in a position to push them on us.
Each individual job also needs a permit
My GOTO for steaming too.
Creators who are working with 4K and 8K assets probably need a lot of storage. What do they typically use?

Dropbox prices are pretty good. I was looking at even AWS s3 _glacier_ and it seems way more expensive.

Does this mean that if everyone used their entire capacity it's like a bank run and Dropbox goes out of business? Or is storage actually cheap and AWS makes big margins on it?
I love tuning in to whatever local station I can find while road tripping through some obscure part of the country. With radio I feel connected. Isn't that supposed to be a big part of what music is about? I'll go to any live show at a bar, it doesn't even have to be that good or my kind of music for me to appreciate it.
> I don't see a problem with advertising a phone plan as having "unlimited" minutes, rather than specifying a limit of 10,080 minutes per week

If you buy thousands of these phones, hook them up to a modem, and use them to send and receive information over the carrier's airwaves 24/7, you will overwhelm your tower.

Man, it's great how HN can keep unlimited posts for unlimited time, isn't it? I'm sure this place will live forever.
I'm not much of a gamer, but I have been enjoying Oxenfree and its successors. It is similarly a "ludonarrative" (I like the term) and a touch of the horror genre. I don't enjoy horror, but in both these games the touch is so light that it's hard to take seriously. It comes off as "uncanny" rather than "unpleasant".

I find it remarkable that "walking simulators" work at all, when they could just be written as novels or films. But the elements of gameplay make it more than that, even though I'm aware that the game is largely on rails. It feels more like "the evolution of books" rather than "a degradation of games".
It is, but just be honest with yourself about it, if you make that decision.
"Guidelines" are never "strict."

Tell that to the shareholders when your mental health bot tells a customer how to end their life. Maybe they intentionally jailbroke it because they wanted it to go off script, or it just hallucinated. Not going to matter very much when the stock craters.
I like the table of trying things.

Personally, I’ve found the majority of my sleep issues come from one problem and only one problem: stress. It’s almost the most easily correlated thing I can find for my sleep quality. I’m a light sleeper naturally but I am lighter the more stress I have. Outside of that, I found when I am particularly upset, I will wake up at very early hours and just be way more wide awake than I want to be. I can go to bed at 2am and wake up at 4:30am feeling quite awake but obviously very tired.

If I am able to lower my stress then I find sleep gets much better and so does everything else.

At the current moment, I am actually finding my body is getting progressively more sore everyday because I’m unable to get enough rest to recover from my workouts! Due to poor sleep, my lifts are incredibly unpredictable. One day I can do about four sets of ten then the other day I can only do two sets of 7. Sleep is hugely impactful for getting enough volume when in the gym. I can feel when my muscles just won’t respond to the signals I’m sending - or that my body won’t send the signals I’m asking for - whichever it is.

Highly recommend making sure your stress is low because that has always been the biggest by far contributor to sleep for me. Everything else seems worthless in comparison.
I would suggest that PR authors should resubmit their work to OpenTF, closing the old PR.

Even better would to leave a note rescinding permission for Hashicorp to include that work, though I'm not sure whether that is a viable strategy.

At the very least, these steps will create more work for Hashicorp and send a clear signal that the community thinks that they have made a mistake.
The author (alias: Jessica Wildfire) points out some rookie mistakes, like one guy who did not realize his electric can opener would not work when the power was out, and was "helpless" when the power went out.

I guess he's never opened a can with a bayonet. If you can not improvise your way into a tin can with hand tools, you should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.

These kinds of errors are common to any first attempt.

Here's a challenge for preppers: Pull your circuit breakers Saturday morning and turn off the water. See how things go. If you make it 3 hours I will be impressed. Then learn, prepare, and try it again a month later. When you can make it 24 hours, talk to me. Most of my friends were at that level before Y2K.

You can not be prepared for everything, but you can:
Learn to live without electricity or water for a week or two.
* Grow a garden.
* Move away from masses of unprepared people.
* Learn to hunt (legally,) and fill your freezer with wild game.
* Learn to shoot and learn to carry a gun legally where you live. If guns are "illegal," get a license. If you refuse to do that, learn to carry a knife. If all else fails, learn to carry a stick. Read "Stick Combatives" by Massad Ayoob, and practice. Then take a fencing class; that will help you with stick fighting.
* Learn to repair things around your home yourself.
* Keep extra food in the pantry, keep cases of bottled water.
* Prepare go-bags, and test them on a camping trip, after you learn to camp.
* Earn a Ham Radio license and learn to talk to your friends without Internet or phones.
* Store data in such a way that you only need USB power to get access to it. * Rely on your vehicle when the power is out. Even the silliest little combustion powered econocar can recharge a ton of electronic devices if you have a low battery cutoff and devices with the right chargers. Most car chargers never get used, so most car chargers you buy will not last more than half a charge.
* Test your gear. If you have something you have not tested, test it or throw it away.
Business like to advertise things as "unlimited" when there are some natural limits. There are "all you can eat" restaurants, but nobody can eat 100 kg of food. My internet provider and my mobile provider give me unlimited traffic, but it's limited by the effective speed (and the mobile traffic speed is clamped after several gigabytes per month).

But when a natural limitation is lifted, the businesses have to reconsider their "unlimited" policies.
I think information about “average” US citizens wouldn’t be enough.

You would need to confront them with evidence this company has information on the Senators or government officials themselves.

It worked for Blockbuster VHS rental data:

Also, as someone who works in the Pharma advertising space, trust me, HIPAA doesn't matter when private non-healthcare companies (read- entities that fall outside the regulations) are able to hoover up so much personal information that anyone who wants to cobble together your profile can.

And again, at it's core the issue is that the US government wants to be able to access as much information about as many people as possible in order to "freedom" or something. It's the reason nobody has been able to pull back the "War on Terror" era civil rights abuses everyone gleefully ran towards. There's not enough political will because everyone wants to fight about gay beer and bathroom usage and not esoteric ideas like "government overreach as it exists to benefit the 2-party system, and not as an attempt to punish the other party for doing what your party is doing now that it's in power".
Congratulations on the launch. I own and run a DevOps consulting company and being able to ask AWS billing questions or create CloudWatch notifications in human language is gonna be a game changer. Looking forward to using and following Releases progress. The .com domain name must have cost a fortune. lol
Notion + GoodNotes is where I’m at currently. I do wish I could combine the two, but no app I’ve found does tablet+pen and typed notes seamlessly together, so I just split them out for this setup.

I’m also experimenting with Asana to track class assignments, but I’m currently trying to get them to let me buy “only” one seat of Business level, since the “workload” tool seems immensely valuable to keep my work spread out evenly through the semester.
What is your domain name?
Exactly...I guess since immediate results aren't usually seen in e-com (from an organic perspective) it becomes taboo to spend the the extra coin

I'm not sure what the overall point here is. The headline and article are framed in a way that makes it seem switching from GPLv3 was the catalyst for increased profitability but this is never clarified or quantified:

Two years later, Sid at Open Core Ventures (OCV) contacted me about creating a company, building on the features and functionality of authentik. It was a dream opportunity: work full time on my hobby project and make 25% more in the process. But I had to let go of the GPL license.

It seems the investors stipulated the license change to secure funding versus the change itself resulting in increased profitability. And the justification seems based on speculation about marketability:

The drawback of building commercially on top of open source software using GPL is that the copyleft aspect can put some people off. Not every person or business wants to have to expose their code for every minor change or bug fix they may add, and they will sooner find a competitor with a more permissive license than adopt your software. This is obviously not ideal when you’re trying to get traction and grow a business.

OCV proposed we switch back to MIT.

Obviously something like the MIT license is more attractive to corporations. Now they can just steal all your hard work, integrate your code into their commercial product and not even have to pay or so much as credit you now. I'm sorry, it sounds you may have just been hustled out of your app.
That is a very good point, I'll fix that in a bit
Seems a lot like the sort of changes beavers install in a river.
A lot of “small town” America still runs on Roberts. It’s particularly good in low-trust and high-conflict meetings, where there still needs to be cohesion. School boards, religious groups, community groups, etc.

The largest parliamentary meeting in a given year is usually the Southern Baptist Convention, where up to 40,000 people use Roberts at a town hall meeting.

They’re a little heavy for a normal corporate team meeting, but those meetings usually can’t survive conflict.
They obviously don't want businesses to use up the entire allotment of "unlimited" storage.

What doesn't make sense here is why they can't detect this and shut it down.
CopilotTextarea: drop-in replacement for textarea w GPT completions. Open-Source

In many of my projects I have had to incorporate the knowledge/intuition of domain experts. New product launch (by self or competitor), some unseen change in the operating environment. These are event history of the 'does not repeat but rhymes' variety.

Although there may be no data collected from the time something similar happened before in history, experts can reason through the situation to guesstimate the direction and magnitude of the effect in qualitative terms.

Bayesian formulations are very handy in such situations.

>I’ve found that in many applications, the difference between a frequentist analysis and a Bayesian one is unlikely to make a difference in the decision making (even with UQ).

In that case you may find the following interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindley%27s_paradox

"Lindley's paradox is a counterintuitive situation in statistics in which the Bayesian and frequentist approaches to a hypothesis testing problem give different results for certain choices of the prior distribution."

How likely is Lindley's Paradox likely to show up in practice ? well there is Bayes for that (tongue firmly in cheek).
Not particularly. The Blair-era government was also pretty pro-surveillance.

I can't imagine how much you all have on your plates right now, so this can definitely wait.

Tools, frameworks, etc all have to be written by people, and I'm sure you're already keenly aware that poor programmer tooling can be the death of a project.

This is definitely selfish on my part since I write a lot of Terraform and lean on the language server a lot, but I hope that terraform-ls can have a couple of people dedicated to it eventually.

Unfortunately (of course!!) my own pet issues are pretty niche, since I expect there aren't many people using a lot of private registry modules like the client I work for. Hence my desire to fix it myself :)
Sorry, $5 billion is what Google is telling me. Mistype on my part, yes.

believe it or not but it's OK to consume the tea leaves and drink slightly bitter tea ;). if you accept this the solution is just not to have tea bags at all. brew with the leaves and drink immediately, and if you forget, enjoy your bitterer tea!
Most tea bags are made of Manila Hemp (a banana plant). Many have a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or polypropylene on the inner tea bag surface as well, that you never feel or hear about
Shows that make it to syndication pay more in residuals than first run/reruns on the originating network, if that's what you are getting at.

The writers and cast of Law and Order and SVU made more from their TNT rerun residuals than they did from the NBC first-run broadcast residuals.
Notes really are such a fraught topic. One one hand you might say note taking is superfluous if you're just trying to get information in your brain (you'd be better off using a spaced-repetition system like Anki). On the other, they can be beneficial as a kind of personal archive, however it usually requires a lot of manual work (even with some kind of AI assistance).
I think 25 lines of it. The memory layout was not linear but garbled as far as I remember this Woz hack was to do the DRAM refresh as a side effect.

You mean things like binning?

But aren't most hardware producers these days fab-limited, with Apple, Samsung, Nvidia, etc. all competing for the same few foundries, especially at the smaller processes?

If they only have X amount of production available a year, it seems like they'd want to focus those on the super-high-margin high-end datacenter cards rather than the leftover low-end stuff. Or maybe the high/low stuff are manufactured on different pipelines altogether, that don't suffer from the same production limits? I'm not sure how that works...

Yes, remember USSR Windows XP from the era when it came without ads? It was so terrible. /s

Didn't know I was using USSR internet in the '90s-'00s before the advent of user targeted advertising.

In fact most websites and products were way better back then compared to the mess of today.

I thought most "garbage patches" in the ocean were actually made up mostly of microplastics.

I can't find a great source for this now, but a quick Google gave https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/great-paci... which says:

Probably slowly breaking down into microplastics though
The whole thing about how GPL propagates to unrelated works that happen to use a GPL licensed software is a misunderstanding. One that the FSF foundation is happy to propagate, but not one that would hold in court.

The concept of derived work in copyright law has nothing to do with how the binaries are linked together nor is an entire work derived from a GPL library just because they happen to call it at one point. Lawyers look at this very differently.

See https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6366

Bogus. How do you know an LLM isn’t better than human led treatment because the patient can be honest and have privacy, free to discuss anything without data leaving their premises.

Alternatively, how do you know that a high level of care is needed for all patients? There are waiting rooms filled with people trying to get a chance to talk to someone about their problems who will listen, and others who don’t come in at all because they have no insurance.
