P2P never really had a YouTube-like creator scene; almost everyone using P2P was using it to download movies for free. YouTube was almost the same way at first until YouTube got spooked by the (arguably baseless) Viacom lawsuit and decided to adopt proactive copyright filtering.

Speaking of litigation, nobody's been sued for watching YouTube. People got sued for BitTorrent traffic all the time; up to and including dedicated settlement extortion operations (e.g. Prenda Law). This is a third role of YouTube we don't really consider: they handle all the stupid copyright stuff so that users don't have to. P2P inherently shoves all the liability[0] onto the users because you dox yourself every time you use it. Imagine, say, someone suing individual P2P users to try and shut down, say, a SSSniperWolf[1] video.

If you took YouTube away today, you'd have creators moving to Nebula or Floatplane, because there's still money in that. There really isn't money in PeerTube. Monetization is the thing that really put YouTube on the map, not free distribution.

Though, to be clear, video distribution is still hilariously expensive. Google considers YouTube to be profitable and has done so for many years, but that is almost certainly because YouTube gets to use Google's favorable peering arrangements with last-mile ISPs. These same ISPs also did all sorts of questionable things to throttle or block BitTorrent traffic back in the day, I imagine they'd come up with new attacks on PeerTube traffic today. The underlying problem is that we don't have any common-carrier regulation on ISPs, so they price traffic based on "value" - i.e. how much they can double-bill the sender of the packets - rather than the cost of that traffic.

If you want a viable YouTube competitor, you want net neutrality regulation.

[0] Ok, before you cite a Ninth Circuit opinion arguing that mere downloading still has liability or something, I'm not saying that you CAN'T EVER be sued for watching YouTube, only that you'd have to sue Google first, and they have big pockets.

It’s amazing how much attaching a name to some phenomenon or problem and discussing it helps in understanding it and taking the first steps to address it. Knowing that bedtime procrastination is a real thing that affects others not only gives me comfort, but also helps me think about it very consciously and figure out how to take the first steps to solve it.

I never thought about it from the revenge and agency perspective, but I appreciate the author at least trying to hypothesize why people do this despite it being detrimental. All the suggestions and tips in the article are also incredibly helpful.
I don't think it's that complicated.

If I release software under the gpl and to someone to integrate in a closed source application. You don't have gpl code in a closed source application. You have code with 2 licenses.

This is perfectly ok, the two pieces of software can coexist.

This would be the same, if correctly structured.

The only nit would be that code would be forever dual licenced. Some evil company could buy up the code base and do whatever they want and not release code back for 2 years.

Underage workers are training AI
In the UK, where minimum wage is OK (not great, but OK), and we don’t have those garbage US shenanigans where tipped employees can get paid a pittance, many payment terminals add a 10% tip automatically (especially at bars). Many restaurants also add a 10% tip to the bill (For everyone, not just parties of > 6).

I really wish it were outlawed. The price paid should be the price displayed, unless the circumstances are exceptional. You cannot display prices without VAT so how it is allowed to display prices without the forced tip?

“It’s optional”. Sure, if you enjoy having your food spat in the next time you return.
There's also third option. They can die if they don't know how to be profitable in sensible way.

No, it's a superset of Terraform. The developers of OpenTofu have been adding every new feature in, and are committing to version parity. They've already got the new testing framework built out for example, as well as the changes to the S3 backend.
I'm currently 60 minutes in, waiting on hold for American Airlines support, because I clicked on the cancel flight button on my trip details page hoping to get a warning page with details of my cancellation options, but instead it just canceled it on the spot with no refund/credit. I've never seen this before from any other airlines, nor any other products that cost thousands of dollars.

For some reason they also have no other way to reach support other than phone.

EDIT: Googling around it looks like it's standard operating procedure for some airlines: https://www.reddit.com/r/frontierairlines/comments/10svdqb/a...
That's definitely fair, and the sales for these games prove that point. Still, if you're making a game that has a high level of detail from multiple perspectives, that's going to lead to high performance requirements - Vic 3 being another example.

That case study doesn’t include how much she was using, and in every case study of a hospital visit I’ve seen that included usage habits, it was extreme. Like daily usage for months.

I'm a remote working veteran, having worked in that arrangement for over a decade. Recently I changed employers, to a place down the street, and I loved going to the office before RTO (we're expected to be in the office 3 days a week). Most of the team voluntarily came in every Tuesday and Thursday. We had a lot of fun. Then RTO came, and it seemed to coincidence with every other large employer in the area forcing RTO, and most of the things that were great about it evaporated overnight.

Now the campus is crowded and noisy. Parking is annoying. The lines in the cafeteria and nearby restaurants are insane and simply not worth the wait or frustration of trying to coordinate timing. There's a lot of small battles being fought about temperature control, lighting in the office, etc. ~Half the team is still geographically remote to our main campus, at smaller satellites across the country or they have long term full-time remote arrangements. So we're on Zoom regardless. And I still between someone on my team and someone on an adjacent team, and frequently find myself sitting in between them while they're on separate calls. Even with headphones on, it is fucking madness.

It's just annoying again, and needlessly frustrating, and reminds me of why I originally sought out full time remote back in 2011.
The dude probably ChatGPT-ed the entire thing. I might as well ask those tools directly.

The question is whether it is understood up front that there is a type of ticket that doesn’t allow seat selection, and that the customer has selected that type of ticket.

Until the last few years, this wasn’t even a thing in the US on major airlines. Then United launched their Basic/Shitty Economy and it’s been a race to the bottom ever since.
That's a good thing, and way better than the current state of things. Let the federal government pick summer/winter hours, and everyone can adjust or not as they see fit.
M1 series is pretty solidly middle of the road hardware relative to the discrete laptop GPUs that dominate the Steam Survey results.

The bigger issue to me is that gaming on Macs has a history of mutual avoidance by both gamers and gamer publishers. Neither want to invest in changing the status quo.
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE stores the timestamp naively. The type defines a convention for how data is transmitted to and from the datatype.

which is basically exactly how one is supposed to use timezone-naive datetimes. the datetimes are individually "naive" however are meant to always be used within a context that is implicitly non-naive across the full set of datetime objects.
Very good point, which is why I think its crucial to also stop and plan on fixing bugs as #1 priority and descope some features, or hide them altogether until they are ready. I can appreciate how complicated these things are, everything is a tradeoff. Thank you for your insight, I've mostly worked for reasonably large companies so I have not yet been able to see things from the perspective of a much smaller company first-hand.
I think you missed out this part:

09:00 - you're in Santa Fe, NM. What's the sales tax rate? OK, good, you've figured it out.

12:00 - after a delightful morning checking out the history of genocide in North America, you decide to drive the Turquoise Trail (NM14), a national scenic byway, south to Albuquerque. You stop to wander and eat lunch in Madrid, NM. What's the sales tax rate? Wrong, you're no longer in the city of Santa Fe, but Santa Fe county.

17:00 - you arrive in Albuquerque and go to buy something at a regular store. What's the sales tax rate? Ah, now you're getting it: you don't know, because now you're in Bernalillo County, NM.
I tested with a valid email address.

There has been plenty of serious work done in user privacy separate from advertising analytics. For example in the direction of log and database anonymization (and how surprisingly mathematically difficult it has turned out to be.) You don't have to be cynical about ALL such efforts.
>CPUC is full of cronies tied to Sacramento and Newsom.

This-- with a revolving door to industry. And all of their rationales for this proposal are literally Investor-Owned Utility talking points. The most ridiculous part is that CPUC will say that rates are getting too high, provide zero data to show that solar is causing a real cost shift (independent study by Lawrence Livermore found negligible, if any), make zero effort to investigate the utilities' General Rate Case in any serious way, then approve the rate increases that they're now blaming on solar. And keep in mind, this is just the beginning-- they're also ramming the fixed charge (utility tax) other posters were advocating as an alternative down our throats very soon. This will result in far fewer rooftop solar installs, which will mean more giant solar farms in our open spaces that require far more expensive infrastructure/maintenance, which, surprise-- is what really drives up rates up (beyond the obscene waste you'll find at IOUs).
I don't think the comparison is fair because chemical reactions and how they work was a part of the model of the theory that nuclear testing might blow up the world. We were dealing with real, testable models of the world all the way up to the nuclear tests.

This is more like, if I smash two fish together in the Large Hadron Collider there's a chance the universe ends. Which no one would tell you with a straight face was remotely possible. But! It's never been done before, so, possible?

We're human beings. One of the things humans do is project. We do it all the time. To the entire animal kingdom, to the gods of our theologies, you get where I'm going with this?

Well now our gods have come to visit us and much like the gods of our fantasies, they're proxies, a mirror to the best and worst of ourselves. Because we still largely operate on fear, we have a camp of end-of-the-worlders who believe these gods are ready to judge us guilty and murderbot us all.

Imagine if we were a species where fear was not the dominant feeling. We'd in all likelihood imagine transformers were harbingers of something else entirely.
Or just change the format and make study / practice fun and enticing.

IDK about big companies, but the open source side seems to have realized that heavily safety aligning AI kind of lobotomizes it, yet is still trivial to defeat.

It appears safety tools are better developed as wrappers on a case-by-case basis.

Also, all the noise about emerging AGI is just fearmongering. Near future multimodal LLMs are extremely dangerous, but they are not AGI.
For specifically understanding transformers, this (w/ maybe GPT-4 by your side to unpack jargon/math) might be able to get you from lay-person to understanding enough to be dangerous pretty quickly: https://sebastianraschka.com/blog/2023/llm-reading-list.html
It seems more likely Illya is a less wrong type of person that saw Sam as a threat to his vision. He doesn't like the commercialization aspect where as Sam would prefer OpenAI didn't go broke.

TFA doesn't read like ChatGPT nonsense and it provides some interesting discussion. It looks like it's just a new technical blog someone created and is earnestly sharing with HN.
Is concurrency in this sense mostly just 'how many terraform plan/apply runs you have going at once?'

Also, is the Enterprise plan significantly more expensive than the cloud plan?
Right. I joke that my corner in my bedroom is my home office, workbench, rec room, music room, data center combo.

The use of vertical space is real. Family of four, 2bdrm 1100 sq ft divided across three floors. I'd love another room. Do they sell those at Costco? Can I put it on the lawn?

I work from home full time, and while it was harder in the beginning, the click of the KVM button and putting my work phone on the charger is enough of a signal.
My understanding is that at Columbus time they did not measured sun / moon positions, but instead based their predictions on the eclipse cycles - if you have long enough record of past eclipses, you can notice that they are not random but the same timing sequence repeats after some time:

even thr USPS Government website charges handling fees on $100, and more fees on $100+ orders. I love USPS, but simply add these to stamp prices.
Tts a pitty strategy games focus so much on graphics these days, i for one do not care about zooming in seeing people and cars in a city sim.
Agreed. If you hate ads and are given a reasonably priced option of not seeing them, you should choose that option. To support that option and signal that people want that option.
Where exactly are you drawing the line before using scare quotes around volunteering? Is 10 hours a week too much? Is requiring transportation too much? Would working at 5,000ft vs 7,000ft be ok?

For what it’s worth: if I were at a time in my life where I could do the linked opportunity, I absolutely would. Even better would be an Antarctica opportunity for a winter season.
You missed the last half of that sentence. It's a room, not a house, that you will be likely be sharing with someone else.

The roman style is pretty legible, yes, and I . The italic, though? It's not a 157ms vs 158ms difference, I legitimately struggle reading it at all, which is a shame because I really like the roman style.
That’s nothing. In American English, calling someone a turkey would be an insult. Turkey is how we refer to the nation Türkiye Cumhuriyeti. Imagine calling an entire nation an ungainly bird that we ritually consume every November. Almost as bad as giving Michael Jordan his own seat at the UN. But that’s what capitalism and the US hegemony have brought us.
Correct. This is a major security fuck up and the consequence is as intended.
somewhat similar to unpaid internships for adults who have finished an expensive 18 month MBA program? slightly worse?
Most large EU-wide online stores just ask you where you're from and calculate VAT accordingly.
I wonder. Do open source oauth servers actually implement all of 2.0 these days? Do clients? What do they do for the bits the spec leaves... unspecified? My memory isn't the best but I remember ten or so years ago when the spec was fresh that so-called off the shelf servers at the time didn't actually implement anything of value, so had to write my own barebones version. I remember thinking the 1.x spec was actually better, but it didn't matter anyway because every real app would just write code targeting whatever it was that social media companies were doing and calling oauth. (One notable thing was not ever presenting the user with an HTTP Basic experience, and everyone is still addicted to JSON vs. form-encoded body parameters.)
Why can’t this person spend their money how they want?
Some of these postings are indeed asking a lot, but I don't think this specific one is that crazy. It's essentially an opportunity to live out in the wilderness and go hiking regularly, with free housing provided in exchange for maintenance and rescue work. I know a lot of outdoors enthusiasts that would love to do that. Hell, I know a lot of outdoors enthusiasts that would probably do it without the free housing, or even pay out of pocket to do it (see also: PCT or Appalachian Trail hikers).
YouTube will re-encode videos to optimize their playback experience. Which means there will be a generational loss in the re-encoding. YT have maximum requirements for their playback. If the source file exceed those, they will lower it.

Handbrake is useful for lots of things. My partner have to upload his dissertation defense video and the university have strict requirement of the formats. He used Handbrake to convert his video to their formats of choice. It works well for him on his aging 10 years old MacBook Pro (upgraded the HDD to SSD years ago).
I agree (though less indignantly). TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE basically makes me confused as it is trying to run around guessing how to actively solve a problem I dont actually have, which is, "I don't know how to correctly represent datetimes in my application".
“Junk fees” is obviously manipulative language that has no real definition, which makes me automatically oppose whatever this “ban” is.

And yet they're still running natural gas plants during those peaks and have an aging nuclear facility that accounts for much of their clean energy that was scheduled to close in 2025.
Imagine if you had donated to a "charitably minded" organisation, then later discovered that they were only an "almost charity". I don't think you would be pleased with that. This is how someone donating their time and code to FSL projects might feel. They are not "quite upfront" about the fact that they aren't FOSS [1].

Open source is constantly under attack from various corporate entities, so it makes sense that we should guard our image. Asking people to be clear about what is and isn't FOSS is a basic consequence of that. FSL is a source available license, and I am simply asking that its users make this fact clear instead of trying to associate themselves with FOSS. That is not unreasonable. That is not toxic. That is simply asking that people don't obfuscate the truth.

I am also a dedicated worker-from-home, and I know plenty of other people who are smarter than me who work by choice from the office every day.

Even confining the discussion to those of us who logistically can do all of our jobs over the network, I've come to think that there is no single policy that can be applied over an organization that won't alienate a significant fraction of your staff. Organizations that don't find ways to accommodate the whole spectrum of, uh, "work-remoteness" are going to be at a serious disadvantage in the years to come.
until they raise it.
Until the recent explosion on direct online shopping from China, you, the importer, were responsible for collecting import duties/VAT. To avoid tax evasion the customs authorities started requiring import duties to be paid in advance.

The US is one of the counties where the value that is duty free is high, and as I understand it, there’s no tax collection in advance. Most/all purchases will be 0% tax from the vendor side, but you are still responsible for assessing and collecting this tax yourself.
Nah,

By the very fact that there's paper here, whatever it's merit, the authors of the paper have codified their concept of generality and this doesn't validate the point I was replying to, which was essentially "my impression/feeling" is that it is better".
“Why dont you just pay the ransom, it's not even that expensive”.
From personal experience, I suspect I sit much stiller and fidget lessin front of a screen
If these fees are outlawed, I wonder what the new equilibrium will be.

The govt talks about how this costs Americans hundreds of billions of dollars, which makes it sound like the money will magically be transferred back to consumers.

But the reality is more complicated, and likely involves businesses migrating these fees into their base prices.

More transparency is good, for sure, but I wonder how much money will actually be saved.
They've clearly said they are truly making this open source, the hope you're replying to is not about data vs. weights it's about licensing. Having all the weights and training data isn't really useful if the license prevents you from using it. In fact it's a problem since you might open yourself up to trouble just by reading it.
Yes I remember I had an office in a major office building in Amsterdam.. as an intern.

Shortly after the open plan craze started. And now there's the hotdesking nightmare. I feel much less valued and respected every time.
Depends on the person, but requiring anything over 30 hours a week to me is part-time work commitment, and compensation is deserved
