I don't have the time and sales in front of me to see the exact fact pattern, but yes, that it's a possibility. It's also possible these options were a part of a spread. That is, this trader sold other calls that lost a lot of money at the same time they bought these ones.
Agree, it's a pretty good OS. But you should just call it "Pop OS".

Just like if Microsoft renamed Windows 11 "Win!! Win(ners ONLY) OS whooOOO!!" you would still just call it "Windows".
Yes, but there aren't many 48V DC appliances -- radios, lights, gauges, etc.

Many larger boats have 24V DC systems, and there are quite a few boat electronics that run on either 12V or 24V (though you will still need either a 24->12v converter for many things, or be able to tap 12v from the battery bank).
Maybe no more possibilities than regular cookies, but more stealthy for sure. Cookies are (somewhat) easily reviewable by the user through the web developer UI of most browsers; I doubt there will be any browser UI to managing compression dictionary.
Bash is great generally because Bash devs write for a stable target and don't concentrate on using the latest and greatest bleeding edge features. So you can expect a bash script written today to run on a distro from 15 years ago. This is something few other programming languages have achieved (except perl).

With python or rust or whatever a compiler/toolchain basically only lasts 3 months because some new feature is added and used that makes your rustc compiler from 4 months ago unable to compile it. Or with python you pretty much have to assume you system python won't work and install an entirely new toolchain using a dependency manager manager to manage your containerization and then within that (venv, pyenv, conda, etc, etc) a dependency manager (pip, PyPI, etc) to actually get the lib versions you need. Only then can you start trying to actually execute the program.

Bash? Just chmod +x and run the script. It'll work no matter where you're running it. And it won't stop working.

Steam is by far the jankiest program I have installed on my machine. It's TSAB (time to seeing a bug, I just made it up) is measured in seconds, not minutes or hours. I know they're raking in money for being what is mostly a very large FTP server (I kid...), but please spend some of it on the basic experience.

Web Assembly and performance on the same sentene is an oxymoron.
I whole-heartedly agree. They seem good for the right reasons.

That said, I'm scared about the inevitable creep of capitalism. What happens when Gabe retires? Or some legal/financial event changes things?

I have no reason to doubt them, but history gives me reasons to be cautious with my optimism. We've seen similar parallels with beloved tech companies in the past.

That's how bad businesses work. Good businesses provide a solution to a real problem, instead.

> I never thought we'd see a no questions asked return policy for digital games and yet, with steam, it's a fairly simple process.

In general their policy very good, but it's not quite no questions asked—they're pretty strict about the 2 hour playtime limit, which is quite a short time to decide if a game will actually be fun. In many types of games by the time you get through the tutorial and have access to all the game mechanics you're already past the two hour mark, and they also can't tell the difference between actual play time and time in the menu while you're doing something else.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not saying it's a bad policy, there are obviously reasons for this. But it's not truly no questions asked.
No, because of the way Google's proprietary 100 point system for search volume reporting works. Basically, it's adjusted for share of total search volume.

Could not agree more. The candy bar format is probably as good as it can reasonably be expected to get given our current technology.

I think the "crime is caused by exposure to lead" hypothesis has taken a major hit in recent years. The homicide rate went from 4.99 per 100,000 in 2019 to 6.81 per 100,000 in 2021. There was no sudden increase in lead exposure, either in recent years, or decades ago, that can explain that increase.

I'm not saying that lead has no effect on crime, but some people were claiming that lead exposure was the single primary cause of violent crime. When you get sudden changes in the crime rate like that, it's pretty clear that something else is going on.

>your primary goal is getting off of OpenAI as soon as you possibly can

I have calculated that LLAMA running model on AWS/CLOUD, even vast.ai with 3090 is much more expensive then openai. Even with collocation 3090 as they charge absurd amount of money for power (hardware free)

Only case that this is cheaper few times, is if I would host it in my house as I have fiber, and not that expensive power.

I agree. But as it stands, 40% of students end up failing to graduate on time, and of the 60% that do, I imagine a decent chunk of them will end up with more debt than increased lifetime salary will pay for.

I'd estimate (generously) that maybe 25% of the people who go to college these days should, and 75% should not
I think someone can make their own browser not to take over the browser market or compete with the giants.. it would be cool if we had tools to all make our own bespoke browsers tailored to our individual tastes. I don't think it would change the development side of things too much as the the big four would continue to be the target platforms.
We are talking about restoring chat history in-app from one phone to another phone. The Signal app allows you to transfer its state (which you correctly note is not stored in backups) from Signal running on one phone to Signal running on a second phone on the same LAN.

The serialization (I guess) is different on iOS and Android so it only works between phones running the same OS.

A lost or broken phone does indeed render the chat history toast, however.
It's fine to make atrocious shit though. Making something good takes practice. Often you need to see what sticks. Sometimes the only outcome is a lesson.

> Consider a poet who publishes poetry in some unique meter, or has some other unique stylistic structure for which they are well known... should they be allowed to sell copies of their poems that can be used for reading only, but prevents usage of those stylistic devices by other authors?

I don't think this is a fair analogy. Unfortunately, analogy breaks down because the technology is unprecedented. So, to answer directly, no the poet cannot copyright the unique meter, but, no, machine learning is not that.

If you need an analogy, think copy machine, not human learning. An LLM can only regurgitate that which it has seen before. Absent the poet, the other poets can still make other poetry, but the LLM literally cannot make poetry that it has not seen before. If it produces a poem with that unique meter then it definitely copied that poet, and was not "inspired by" the poetry. If you wrote poetry inspired by EE Cummings your process for doing that would be very different from an LLM's, which would programmatically use his material.
That sounds odd, because how does your steam account even get banned? If you cheat in a game and get banned, your steam account isn't banned

Please do better on HN.
If you're living aboard a boat at a marina, chances are you're using fresh water, trash, and sewage at the marina; often electricity.If you leave the boat, you'll be using the roads. If you use fuel, the fuel was likely trucked to the marina on public roads.

What local infrastructure aren't you using living in one place that happens to be on the water that you would use if the place was on land.

Zep author here. LangChain is a great framework and has a very broad and active ecosystem. Many of LangChain's core components, such as chat history "memory," history summarization, entity extraction, vector search, and more, don't scale well in production. They operate in memory and often synchronously within the chat loop, resulting in poor user experiences and limiting deployment options.

You can use third-party ecosystem integrations with external SQL databases, vector databases, etc to fix some of these issues. This requires some know-how, infrastructure, and time. Zep's building blocks are turn-key solutions to these challenges and offered in a single service.

The Zep GitHub project, website, and demo video provide a good overview of the project's functionality and how the service solves these issues.

This blog post on the LangChain website offers some benchmark data using Zep vs LangChain's core memory components: https://blog.langchain.dev/zep-x-langchain-slow-chatbots/
eBay is surprisingly good. I think it's because the reviews are tied to the seller instead of the item.
I've been building Packj [1] to detect dummy, malicious, abandoned, typo-squatting, and other "risky" PyPI/NPM/Ruby/PHP/Maven/Rust packages. It carries out static/dynamic/metadata analysis and scans for 40+ attributes such as num funcs/files, spawning of shell, use of SSH keys, network communication, use of decode+eval, etc. to flag risky packages. Packj Github action [2] can alert if a risky dependency is pulled into your build.

> The browser is so comprehensive in functionality and APIs, and such a challenge to keep up with Google's constant churn of new features and total dominance, that not even Microsoft could do it.

I always suspect that it's not that they couldn't do what you describe per se, it's that they couldn't do that within other shareholder driver parameters to make them want to do it.
>99% of actual websites — not web "apps" — would not lose any functionality.

What percentage of user driven web traffic is done through 'web "apps"' and what percentage is 'actual websites'
It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I see a fundamental difference between useless tech like crypto and hyper useless tech like web3/blockchain and AI. The fact that I’ve never found a single use for any of the crypto suite tech vs the dozens or more uses I’ve found for LLM, image, multimodal, and time series generative AI tells me that the comparisons aren’t remotely fair. I’m not even a particularly creative person in the realm of such things - but I’ve significantly changed several aspects of my life based on the pretty nascent kit available.

I’m not saying the grifters haven’t latched on, but I don’t think it’s fair to equate the shift in conversation with a massive grift that everyone’s involved in. The assumption seems to be that “because X was a grift and Y was a grift all things must be a grift.” That’s not a generalizable statement, and grifts only work because they appear in all ways to be like the real thing, but the real thing is actually fairly rare.

In my prior megacorp jobs we were asked to sit down and figure out what to do with crypto, blockchain, web3, etc. We couldn’t come up with a single thing. Our board was convinced we were missing something, but we worked with the other megacorps and no one had a good idea. That’s the sign of a grift. They don’t hold up under scrutiny.

In this latest wave with generative AI we literally can’t keep up with the good ideas, and they actually work. That’s not the sign of a grift. It holds up under scrutiny.

The “anything anyone is excited about is a grift” meme is the song of jaded souls that build their worth on poopooing anything people are interested in. It’s the sullen teens smoking and making fun of the glee club kids. (I was the sullen teen, I know).

This isn’t to say people don’t get carried away, and the grifters really do well on the real thing because reality supports their grift. It doesn’t mean be unmoored and credulous. But it means look a bit closer and don’t do the lazy thing and assume everything is a grift, even if the grifters follow, people are hyperbolic, etc, and all the signs of the prior grifts are manifest.
I'm incredibly fearful of the day Valve's leadership changes at some point. They really are one of the few bigger players (heh) in the gaming industry that's not driven by corporate greed.
> I flat out do not watch ads. If a platform has ads, I do not watch it full stop. I pay YouTube for no ads. If I lost that option, I would not watch YouTube. Same with all of the other streaming services. Netflix pushed it last year with preview rolls. It was barely acceptable/tolerable. But I will eagerly jettison any service that makes me pay for ads.

Well, Amazon will include an ad-free option that you can pay more for.

I think it makes sense to think of this is a price hike for the current service, combined with a new ad subsidized service offering.

They probably realized that a price hike with no alternative would cost subscriptions, and just shoving existing customers into the new worse service at the old price point would retain them longer.
I remember the regionalisation, that was "fun" to be on the sidelines for (I was in a newer service that was regionalised from the get-go). I don't remember who the PM was for that one, but I remember that being when I truly came to respect the value that a TPM can add.

You're right about the cost and need to replace network equipment being one of the strong reasons why they didn't. Amazon used its own in-house designed and built network gear for a variety of reasons (IIRC there's a re:invent talk about it), which I'm sure is probably still the case.
Every single one of those machines had fixed memory capacity and would need to be replaced to bump up the memory sufficiently large enough to handle IPv6 routing table needs etc. What they had wouldn't even be enough if they'd have chosen to go IPv6 Only (which you couldn't get through except via dual stack IPv4/IPv6 anyway).
Do you have the answers to that questionnaire for the services you mention?
Agreed. Software doesn't happen in a vacuum tho.

With regard to web-based services, once you’ve got the ability to do canary testing, IMO flags/toggles are less compelling — busier code and logic you’ll have to pull out later.
Gabe knows that gaming deserves a home on an open-source OS and not a proprietary one.

And he's right, you know. 100 years from now, the only OS that will be easily resurrectable will be some flavor of open-source OS.
It's making them money even if it doesn't up in a balance sheet. A push from MS that would threaten Steam's business model would only trigger a stronger push towards the Linux side of things and MS knowing that would tread carefully, which affects the Windows side of the business for Valve.
Thanks. I forgot the exact quote, found it searching the internet on some shady quote aggregator site, but no attribution...
This is a wild conjecture. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? The fact they jumped on it means that someone was paying attention to these metrics, but assuming chrome has any influence on YouTube is laughable.
>all they need electricity for is the engine starter and, depending on age, the cooling fan.

If you get an old enough diesel engine or can do the mod yourself you don't even need an electric starter. The first diesel engine I worked on used a gasoline engine as a "pony motor" to spin the diesel engine flywheel enough to generate the compression needed to start the diesel engine. From memory (probably wrong haha) you cranked the gasoline engine and brought it up to high rpm and then you started the diesel engine using a lever that gradually engaged the diesel engine flywheel bringing it up to operating speed. Once the diesel engine was running you backed off the lever and killed the gasoline engine.

An obvious disadvantage would be the necessity to maintain stocks of two fuel types. Other than that it is a near fool-proof way to handle cranking a diesel engine. The electric starter is replaced by the gasoline engine and flywheel linkage. You effectively roll-start the diesel using the gasoline engine.
Sapphire crystals are still used for the lens covers, which makes sense, because if there's any component of your phone you want to provide with extreme protection, it's the camera lens.

A screen can work fine with a crack or a dozen, but a cracked camera lens? Game over.
It’s cheaper to live in a van than an apartment in every city just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Thanks for sharing! One thing I've thought about for marketing an app like this was to just sit down and do a Twitch stream or something and screen-share while using the app. I feel like if it looks cool enough you'll get a few folks that want to check it out.. and hopefully it snowballs. You could record it and slice up clips for YouTube with the good parts..

Good luck with marketing!
>Alameda's losses on the fat-finger trade were staggering - on the order of tens of millions. But because it had been an honest mistake, there wasn't much to do except to implement additional sanity checks for manual trades.

Impressive blame-free culture, if true. Good for them, I suppose (maybe the only good thing, but still).
”dynamically updated graphs are nearly impossible to write in Rust”

Can you expand on this? I’ve taken only a cursory look on Rust and it’s not obvious to me what are the specific constraints that would cause this.
> but Signal enthusiasts warn me that the Session client may, hypothetically, at some future date, integrate a cryptocurrency

Session actually already does. It's just not exposed to the user because the OPTF foots the bill for it. But theoretically if the OPFT was to completely fold and Oxen & Session were to keep chugging along, you'd need to pay some minuscule per message fee for the service you are getting from the network.

The OPTF intends on footing the bill for basic messaging as long as they continue to exist but they probably will need to add some degree of user facing fees for video chat, etc in the long run if it ever seriously takes off.
It is quite literally no questions asked. It isn’t meant to be a demo system which is what you seem to want.

Why is the naming for Java stuff so ... like that?

Next.js! Nice!

Graal, JavaBeans, IDEA, SpringBoot (seems like a word, isn't), etc?

It's kind of grating, I think it's a big part of why I hate Java.
Yes - it is heavily based on Synthesia. It has a few different priorities - it won't play weird formats like MusicXML, but it has stuff like looping, a speed trainer (looping with an automatic tempo increment), transposition etc.

Portrait on your phone is about the worse way to use the app, but it does technically work. You'll have to scroll side to side to see all the notes. Landscape is better - you fit all the notes in - and if you tap the screen once, it'll hide the header for a bit of extra space. But yes, an iPad or Mac is by far the best experience
Worse, yes. Easier to topple? A browser doesn't require physical manufacturing and shipping.

When they initially stated they wanted to bring games on Linux, I was ... skeptical, to say the least. It seemed like posturing to fend off Microsoft's predatory policies, but ultimately an empty promise that would never work out, despite every good intention they had.

I mean Linux? Running Windows games? Without hacks and tricks and magic and stuff to make it run maybe good enough to say "yeah, it kinda runs sometimes if you don't pay attention to the bugs"? Absolute lunacy.

But they did it.

The absolute madmen did it in just a couple years. That's incredible.
