I think terms like "capitalism" inherently spread confusion rather than clarity.

Specifically, which of these systems do you mean by "capitalism"?

1) The status quo in the US where the economy is dominated by private corporations but the government has some regulations and some safety net. Also, corporations receive a significant amount of welfare from the government, generally control the regulatory agencies and some are primarily funded by the government either directly (NPR/PBS, Amtrak, etc.) or as its primary customer (defense contractors).

2) The system that existed in Gilded Age America where there was very little regulation but lots of corporate welfare and a US Army that would "remove" any American Indians who were causing trouble for the railroads.

3) The libertarian utopia where absolutely everything is privatized.

4) A system where everything except the police and military is privatized, there are virtually no regulations and there is no corporate welfare. Basically the more moderate form of libertarianism.

5) Basically the system we have in the US but with a larger safety net, more regulations and less military spending. In other words the European system that is one of the things commonly called "socialism" in US politics but it is also called "capitalism" when convenient to contrast it against other types of economies.

6) An economy where most people have a reasonable chance of eventually becoming running their own business and where large businesses are generally rare. In this system, creating a corporation might even require an act of a state legislature or the national legislature and would be generally rare and mainly for utilities like long distance transportation. This is the system that generally prevailed in the free states of the US prior to the Gilded Age.

7) The system that existed in the mid-20th century US that is somewhere between 1) and 5). Strong unions, regulations (often captured by corporations), large corporations that make stuff domestically, restrictions on imports, defense contractors exist, etc. The main distinguishing characteristic of this system is a high degree of income equality. CEOs don't make dramatically more than typical workers and even entry level pays a living wage.

At one point, I would have defined "capitalism" as 3 or 4. Today, I'd define it as 6. Most people would probably define it as 1, 2 or 7 which is what I would call "corporatism". I'm also undoubtedly leaving out other definitions of capitalism. The term "socialism" is also unhelpful for the same reason.

People who like "capitalism" or "socialism" define it as an economic system they like then use the other word to define a system they don't like. Then they talk past people who have different definitions of those terms. An argument about Venezuela or the USSR is not a reasonable argument to use against somebody who wants the Nordic model in the US or to go back to the mid-20th century economic system. An argument about corporate welfare or defense contractors is not a reasonable argument to use against a libertarian.
Wouldn't the boomer held single family land be worth way more with higher density zoning allowed? Isn't it more like an extra 500k in my pocket and my kids moving out is worth trading the back yard and garage for a slightly smaller apartment/rowhouse and utilizing public parks for what was once done in the backyard, while mostly taking transit/uber?
You can get a local chatbot running in seconds with this tool: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama

None of the open models available to these local tools benchmark as well as the closed OpenAI model but the benchmarks are weird. In my own poking around, some models are definitely less coherent or more detailed for some specific prompts but it’s mostly the same.
This is a really dumb question.

If YouTube is hosting a video, and then decides to have you watch two 30 seconds ads, and you immediately start watching the original hosted video before 60 seconds has elapsed, why wouldn't a server-side timer work to detect ad blocking? Are we forced to solve this problem client-side with Tom and Jerry Javascript battles?

I don't really understand how video streaming scales, so this is probably a very naive question.
I have and will never ever pay one red cent to any company to watch videos for the purpose of entertainment outside of specific creators making high quality content that I personally enjoy. You can not make me. I have zero (0) moral compunction on the subject. I will explore every legal avenue from adblockers to television antennas to checking out DVDs from a local library. Entertainment is a cesspool of propagandizing morrally corrupt profiteers (independent of any race or identity, it is a conspiracy of greed). Weep and gnash your teeth. If every other legal avenue is exhausted I will imagine new Top Cat episodes in my head. You cannot stop me.
I wish people were slightly more up front about their games being Spring Engine mods.
Speaking as a dev, I recently hit that. In N editions even the APIs to query installed codecs do not work with a generic E_CLASS_NOT_REG. The docs for the API never mention that they are not available in N editions.
> Because freeloading competitors are stuck with two year old code, putting them at a disadvantage, or compelling then to invest in that old code (some of which might find its way into the original branch).

This makes no sense though. If you don't want competition, why give your source away? If you do want competition, why put it at a disadvantage? That's why I am so negative about this license. It's just someone trying to have their cake and eat it too. Also, I don't see what's to stop someone free-loading off a two-year-old copy of your work.
> Suppose a hypothetical version of the Xapian devs existed that were willing to use the FSL, but didn't because it didn't exist at the time. I could email those people, and ask "can you give me an Apache licensed version of your code from two years ago". They would then give me a copy of that code.

Just to be clear what happened at Xapian: a bunch of people built some software. It was open sourced under the GPL which prevented further adoption. Through some series of acquisitions the copyright holder ended up not caring about it and did not enable anyone to relicense it under another license. If that was FSL licensed to begin with, the moment the copyright holder no longer cared, it would have become available under a license again that enabled commercialization. The folks behind Xapian are unaware of the exact licensing status, but definitely cannot relicense: https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/CommercialLicence

They for a while I believe tried to prevent further GPLification of the source.
You totally have the right to not watch the ads, because you're right, it is your computer and you get to decide what is done with it.

But if that's the choice you prefer to make, then the objectively more ethical thing to do is to not watch the video content either.
You haven't responded to my main point: do you believe that a completely unregulated market doesn't lead to wealth accumulation in the hands of few people?

It is of course true that some (bad) regulation, like protectionism of various sorts, can also lead to the same outcome in a different way.
It would be useful if you can elaborate because as a paid user I've never spotted any UI or UX degradation and I'm now curious.

Should I replace my 56k modem with a 28.8K Modem? (2001)
I used to have Premium back when it was called Red, because I got grandfathered from Google Music All Access. Then when my card expired they had me put in a new card. They didnt bother grandfathering me, so I didnt bother with YouTube premium since I am not paying double, despite paying for Google Music All Access… since launch. My phone renewal was around the corner so I got an iPhone this time and got Apple One with everything it offers. I am much more happier. Last I heard they wanted to nerf Google Music for YouTube music which is an awful exchange.

Now I dont mind ads but if they are annoying or too many, or worse: their new adblocking system was detecting me as adblocking despite me having it all off, or it not working on mobile whatsoever, you know the site is just flat out broken for me, well… I will just refuse to go on YouTube.
Under ecosystem I mean people using ChatGPT daily on their phones and browsers, developers (and now virtually anyone) writing extensions.
For most of the world all of the progress is condensed at chat.openai.com, and it will be only harder to beat this adoption.

Tech superiority might be relevant today, but I highly doubt it will stay the same for a long time even if openai continues to hide details (which I agree is bad). We could argue about the training data, but we have so much publicity available so that is not an issue as well.
Of course a government needs to run its ads/PSAs where its people actually are, even if they are trying to promote alternatives.
GR is much more heavyweight in terms of maths. But once SR was clear it was "just" an extension to the same ideas. The leap here was the original idea that gave rise to SR. The rest could have been worked out by most physicist of the time.

Why is it redundant? Redundant to what? What would account for what opensource brings without opensource itself?
Query hints are a very different thing.

What I would like, and I assume GP as well, is the ability to write the low-level querying, as in bypass SQL and the planner, and give postgres the post-planner bytecode itself.

That's their goal. The head of sentry's open source policy has openly stated that he, and sentry as a whole, want to change the definition of open source so that it has additional limits that make it easier to profit off of and control.

This conversation from three months ago is really enlightening: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36972824

When the head of open source was explicitly asked about whether they're trying to redefine open source his response made it very clear that they are-

> > your end goal is to exclude commercial reuse from the open source definition

> This is fairly accurate, though there are a range of possible outcomes we would be satisfied with.

Anything they say should be considered with that in mind. These are not good actors in the industry, but are people who are trying to replace open source software with a shared source version. Unlike other companies, such as Hashicorp, who admit that their software is no longer open source Sentry wants to have their cake and eat it too.

A decent corollary to that: how the pro-Israel media campaign is working out in the latest flare up with Palestine now that TikTok has been added into the mix, a fantastic illustration of the real reason they want to take it down.

I think a lot of commenters here are treating the nonprofit as if it were a temporary disguise with no other relevance, which OpenAI now intends to shed so it can rake in the profits. Legally this is very much not true, and I’ve read that only a minority of the board can even be a stakeholder in the for-profit (probably why Altman is always described as having no stake). If that’s true, it’s very obviously why half the board are outside people with no stake in the finances at all.
Unions exist precisely to try to pool together the minuscule leverage that workers have so that they can fight with capital owners. If anything, they prove the point that staff have very limited power
I think, in his recent podcast, Ezra Klein eloquently explained why young Americans have a less favourable view of Israel:

“Maybe I’ll start here. I think something we’re seeing in the politics in America around Israel right now, I think it reflects three generations with very different lived experiences of what Israel is. You have older Americans, say, Joe Biden, who saw Israel as the haven for the Jews and who also saw Israel when it was weak and small, when it really could have been wiped off the map by its neighbors.”

“We also knew an Israel that was an occupying force, a country that could and did impose its will on Palestinians, and I don’t want to be euphemistic about this, an Israel in which Palestinians were an oppressed class, where their lives and their security and their freedom were worth less. But we also knew an Israel that had a strong peace movement, where the moral horror of that occupation was widely recognized. We knew an Israel where the leaders were trying imperfectly, but seriously and continuously, to become something better, to become something different, to become in the eyes of the world what Israel was in its own eyes, a Jewish state, but a humane and moral one.”

“And so now you have this generation, the one coming of age now, the one that has only known this Israel, Netanyahu’s Israel, Ben-Gvir’s Israel.”

“There is this Pew survey in 2022 that I find really telling. It found that 69 percent of Americans over age 65 had a favorable view of Israel, but among Americans between ages 18 and 29, young Americans, 56 percent had an unfavorable view. As it happens, American politics right now is dominated by people over 65, but it won’t be forever”

“And there are many of us who warned of this exact thing happening, who said, if you lose moral legitimacy, you will not have the world’s good will when you need it most, who said it is a problem for the Jewish state to not be seen, to not be a moral state.”

I'm pretty sure back then number labels didn't seem any worse than the memory addresses one would use in machine code.

I wonder what aspect of coding today will seem to coders a half-century from now to have been not, sympathy for the machine, but excessive kowtowing towards it?

The author is trying to push a consistent narrative throughout the article, and unfortunately this results in the omission of alternative explanations for the phenomena discussed. For example:

> Likewise, in a fascinating study on the collapse of the Soviet Union, researchers have found that university-educated people were two to three times more likely than high school graduates to say they supported the Communist Party. White-collar professional workers were likewise two to three times more supportive of communist ideology, relative to farm laborers and semi-skilled workers.

Alternative explanation: university-educated people and white-collar professional workers personally benefitted more from the Communist Party, so of course they supported the party more.

> Educational divides within the US today are consistent with these historical patterns. The Democratic political analyst David Shor has observed that, “Highly educated people tend to have more ideologically coherent and extreme views than working-class ones. We see this in issue polling and ideological self-identification. College-educated voters are way less likely to identify as moderate.”

Alternative explanation: highly educated people spend more time and effort thinking about politics, indeed are forced to spend more time and effort thinking about politics by their teachers and peers, so of course they have more highly developed views and stronger opinions about politics.

> Research by Caitlin Drummond and Baruch Fischhoff at Carnegie Mellon University found that people with more education, science education, and science literacy are more polarized in their views about scientific issues depending on their political identity. For example, the people who are most concerned about climate change? College-educated Democrats. The people who are least concerned? College-educated Republicans. In contrast, less educated Democrats and Republicans are not so different from one another in their views about climate change.

Alternative explanation: again as above with regard to politics, highly educated people are forcibly confronted with the issue of climate change and are forced to think about it, discuss it, and form opinions about much more than less educated people.

Let's do a poll to see which group has more highly polarized opinions about sports, for example.

SubstrateAI: Start using cloud GPUs in minutes
Hey HN,

I'm excited to share SubstrateAI, a project I've been working on for the past few months. I've noticed a gap in AI platforms: they're either too basic and time-consuming to set up, or prohibitively expensive and restrictive. And surprisingly, none of them are open-source.

This is where SubstrateAI comes in. The core focus is on speed and simplicity: get started with cloud GPUs in mere minutes, not hours or days. We don't profit from compute time and offer GPU resources from AWS at cost. Furthermore, the whole product is open-source giving you the flexibility to host everything on your own.

How State's Consumers Lost with Electricity Deregulation (2000)
> And I already have to buy a serial (rs232) adapter, because they removed it for no real reason.

RS-232 is a pain, it's one of the few users of negative voltages on a PC (others being ISA cards and PCI cards; PCI Express finally removed the last negative voltage pin), and the input needs to be tolerant of any voltage between -25V and +25V. I can see why computer manufacturers would love to not have to deal with it anymore.
In my two previous laptops I insisted on having four USB ports because I anticipated that they would wear out eventually and wear out they did - electrically they work, but mechanically half of them barely hold the plug in.

Meanwhile I have a USB-C to USB-A multi-dongle to which I have connected my mouse and keyboard and I move the whole thing between the work and private laptop on a daily basis and despite that after three years only the plug part is showing signs of wear. The socket is fine.

Same goes for the charge port in my phone. Still works as advertised even though I went through a few cables in those six years since I bought it.
I don't understand the philosophy of wanting to use open source and gain the community / benefits of it... but using a proprietary sales model.

It just doesn't work, and once you start calling users of your software who contribute nothing back anything resembling "freeloader" (whether or not you use that word), you've lost the whole concept of why most of us care about true open source. We can use it, we can learn from it, and for a very select few, we can even contribute to it or support the main devs monetarily or otherwise.
> I don't see any benefit to the developer using this license except that it makes them feel like they are doing open source.

This is not designed to attract open source developers, but offers reassurance to end-users against hostile vendor behavior (drastic price increase, disagreeable change of direction, general lack of development etc).

> Or more generally, badly regulated anything tends to create new power centers.

> So this has nothing to do with capitalism

Capitalism is the idea of the market regulating itself, no?. Regulation / Government is a mixed economy (Socialism (edit: this is incorrect)) at best.

The whole talking point (when it is convenient) around "free enterprise" is the lack of regulation, see neoliberalism.

Regulation is also not the answer when the people in charge of regulation are or are funded by the corporate entities being regulated.

Worker cooperatives or really any economic system that privileges socially intentional results is simply a better model. I'd much rather own the means of my production than have someone else regulate the work I also do for someone else. I'd also happen to need less government and have more agency to care for the welfare of others. Hmmm..

Ever since COVID, I have been wearing masks, mostly when using public transport. Instead of five days a week, I now use public transport a lot less, a maximum of two days. Two advantages from this combination that I see are that I have not caught seasonal flu, as I used to every year pre-COVID, and extra conscious handwashing also probably helps. Additionally, I appreciate the fact that my whole face is not visible unless I want it to be, which helps me with social anxiety, and people tend to ignore me more.
