> But if you believe pursuing additional licensing mechanisms means we're destroying OSS, there is probably little I can do to disavow you of that notion.

Speaking of disingenuous, every time the sentry people come in here to talk it's always strawmen. My issue is with sentry trying to redefine open source, not your creation of new licenses. If you want to put out proprietary or shared source licenses I'm cool with that, but when you try to mislead people into thinking those licenses are open source I think you're crossing a line. Your head of open source himself said he wants to redefine open source in a way that restricts how people can use software. That is the issue.
Framing it is a revenge doesn't make sense for me. It's more like I'm asserting myself as a real person with interests, not just obligation fulfillment machine.
If you like denser fonts like Victor, I would also recommend checking out Iosevka. It's similar, but to me it feels a bit nicer.
I’m not sure I follow. The service was better than expected?

In my experience you would pay for a minimum service. When we paid for 56k dial-up Bell came in and replaced things until we could achieve 56k. It’s just a noise game. So I imagine it’s possible that the existing lines were decent enough to begin with?
This is practical, but awful advice. Auth (z or n) has been very badly over engineered. You don't need anything more than http basic auth, the rest is just people with too much time on their hands. Oauth particularly is a travesty that their authors should be ashamed of.
I never had a modem. In 2000 I was attending University living in a student hostel which had Internet by grace of allocated state budget. It was horrifyingly slow. No idea what the original connection was, but distributed through coaxial cable Ethernet to hundreds of students rooms, it was barely usable. Also I had no idea what I was doing, porn was one thing if by that you understand navigating webrings on Altavista and leaving one image to download overnight hoping by morning at least it starts to show something. First time I saw real Internet on my first job in 2001, a satellite downlink connection at 256 Kbit/sec (uplink was a regular modem), I couldn't believe such speed was possible.

On the other hand the local LAN was a nonstop LAN-party, reaching peak usage during exams season, when everyone should have been learning but obviously they were hardly doing that between Counterstrike rounds and such.
The ethical thing to do is shutdown YouTube because it got popular from serving pirated movies.
I think most people in the US have stuck a finger between the two completely uninsulated prongs of a plug and got a shock, usually during childhood. They usually only do it once.
Canada has a massive infra problem. That is not strange when you consider that it has an enormous area to deal with a relatively low population and that most of that population lives along a relatively narrow strip of land, and long strips are very much sub-optimal compared to a circle (which is the ideal for infra).

So both from a density perspective and a topology perspective there are serious challenges to overcome. Which makes things like highway one even more impressive (especially when you take into account some of the territory it runs through, I think that its construction should rank right up there with the Panama Canal and the Chinese wall).

My view on unit testing is if there are no dependencies, there is no real reason not to write tests for all behaviours. While you may have a wonderful integration testing suite, it is still great to know that building blocks work as intended.

The problems arise with dependencies as now you need to decide to mock them or use concrete implementations. The concrete implementation might be hard to set up , slow to run in a test - or both. Using a mock, on the other hand, is essentially an alternate implementation. So now your code has the real implementation + one implementation per test (in the limit) which is plainly absurd.

My current thinking (after writing a lot of mocks) is to try to shape code so that more of it can be tested without hard to setup dependencies. When this can't be done, think hard about the right approach. Try to put yourself in the shoes of a future maintainer. For example, instead of creating a bespoke mock for just your particular test, consider creating a common test utility that mocks a commonly used dependency in accordance with common testing patterns. This is just one example. Annoyingly, a lot of creativity is required once dependencies of this nature are involved which is why it is great to shape code to avoid it where possible.
Same. I would gladly pay for adfree, but the price is hard to justify for infrequent casual users.

They should introduce a lower tier with a usage limit. Say $5/mo for the first 50 videos being adfree.
I built another PC recently and it got me thinking how archaic and clunky the whole thing is.

The biggest improvement in the building experience of the past 20+ years is probably getting rid of SATA and IDE cables with NVME SSDs.
What are the best ways to deploy fastapi products for production?
Yes. That is definitely the original intention of the term!

Of course, language can and does drift etc, but I haven't seen the other use anywhere else.

YouTube is a service provided by millions of content creators hosted by YouTube. If they put their content elsewhere, it will disappear and never be seen. YouTube is the tax people are being made to pay in order to have their videos seen or to see videos now, not some great provider
It's really hard for me to not think of mallice when people say things like "The governments takes half my money!"

In germany, when having a (quite high) 100k pay, you effectively pay aprx. 32% taxes on it. I think thats fair considering wellfare, healthcare, studying, school etc. is free.

42% is just the percentage you pay on the income beyond ~65000. The first 65k are taxed lower (in increasing steps)

Sure, some financial things are very hard in germany. But especially as a "regular" citizen, or when you have hard times, you are cared for quite well.
I don't need to prove anything. We know for a fact that LLMs are stochastic parrots. That's why they confabulate, if they were "intelligent" they wouldn't just pass off nonsense as fact.

They have been fed incredible amounts of data which allows them to stochastically parrot really complex things, this makes people think they're intelligent. Designing a test that actually tests intelligence rather than parroting ability is tricky, but whenever people do they fail them.

I just logged into ChatGPT and asked it repeatedly to generate a novel thought experiment intended to prove that LLMs are incapable of reasoning. I kept trying to refine it by explaining what was wrong with each suggestion.

It completely failed. It just spat out variations of well known dilemmas or paradoxes, even when I specifically asked it to create something original it just made nonsense.

At the risk of sounding like a shill for "Teams" - a product I generally struggle with - one great feature is the ability to capture notes in real time that everyone in the meeting can see. No screen sharing required. Goes a long way towards ensuring everyone's on the same page with whatever was discussed/outcomes agreed to.
Yes.

I release software X under license that turns to Y license after z years.

I am free to take exactly the same code and do the same at a later date.

Or are you referring to code by a second submitter where their code goes gpl, but then you need to re get their permission to restart the clock.

I still think you could work around that if the license is structured correctly.

Treat the source tree as it stands at a point in time as a release that becomes open source 2 years later, but keep the core project closed.

So all code in the project is always available to be in the project.
I have no skin in this game, but reading your comments frustrates me
Yep #enshitification engaged.
> I think we place a bit too much weight on how much font matter

Are you expecting us to believe you when you had to create your own font?
Perhaps not even necessary.
IBM had a cursive font for typewriters
It’s not hard for Google’s level of resources: they would need to index where the blocks in each encoding are so they could switch to serving as content at that point but they wouldn’t need to recompress the videos, just identify where to splice in the ads. I suspect that’s the next step here since it would be a significant increase in the level of effort required for ad blockers.
Why doesn't Sentry simply use AGPL instead of this 2-year BSL?

Are they so unable to compete in their space that merely copying and hosting a current version is a substantial threat (even if modifications are shared)?
Thanks so much for sharing thoughts. In our case all our start pages are delivered via cloudflare's web workers so we are safe from dangling DNS records being poisoned in that way.

In our case, Google's search console shows clearly what subdomain was guilty of the issue and that subdomain has been cleared now. Just really want to expedite the review process since Google's safe browsing has decided to block the entire domain instead of the offending subdomain :-/

I've submitted a review but they do say that reviews related to malware take a few days to process. This is a little hard to be honest given that it's not even our site that is hosting the malware. It was a page linking to google drive which is where the malware actually is hosted.

Hoping we get a response soon. Appreciate the supportive chime in.
The whole point is that there is no moral/ethical way to enter a “contract” with a party who has been knowingly siphoning (read “stealing”) your and everyone else’s data without being upfront about it since time immemorial. Oh you want to enter a contract with me? Send me an invoice at the end of every month about what data you collected from me and how you used it to pay for the services. Otherwise, there’s no way they won’t be double dipping.

Or they can drop the adtech business or spin it out as a separate company. But either way currently there is no way to fairly deal with ad tech companies with thinly veneered “free” services on top.
You’re right. It’s not magic at all. It happens via monopoly and network effects
Keyboard/mouse sharing is completely unrelated to the Wayland protocol. Wayland is only concerned with sending input events to client windows. Generating and capturing global events is out-of-scope and it's an entirely different API. The way this works in X11 is a giant hack that requires multiple extensions and the end result is it compromises all security of those devices. It's even more delusional to pretend this was ever production-ready or that Wayland needs to be ready for anything here. The X11 implementation just shouldn't have been shipped at all.
That is my take on it.

I think embodiment and the encoding of the natural laws (gravity, force, etc) that go into that will be another huge step at grounding AI. People tend to gravitate to thinking about humanoid robots when that is mentioned (and thereby terminators), but honestly I would think things closer to sensor networks involving thousands or millions of bodies like a hivemind would be more likely (why stick at the human level of a single body if you didn't have to). Interaction with the world is a means of determining truth... The ability to perform science.

And as hard as embodiment is, it will be the easy part in my opinion. Continuous learning without losing the plot is going to be quite the challenge. If an LLM has something wrong, how does it update and change that bit of information without huge amounts of power use? How do you make the system learn 'important' things without filling up with junk/spam it is subject to? How do you keep the system aligned with a goal that is not destructive to itself or others?
A bit salse-y, but Oso has a pretty nice overview on the problems that led to their product and how they reason about AuthN/AuthZ: https://www.osohq.com/academy

It's more focused on application level architecture rather than the whole domain of AuthN/AuthZ, but I've found it's a decent reference for folks unfamiliar with a lot of the common issues one encounters in implementation.
But the cost of you watching the video you want to watch is on their dime, and the person who made the video gets nothing for their work either.
Sentry was already using BUSL (Business Source License) for 4+ years with a non-competitive Additional Use Grant. So we had already been doing this for a long time.

The new license actually allows for more competition, because it has a shorter change date to permissive OSS than the aforementioned prior license (2 years vs 3 years).

So another read of this is: the business model is going great, so much so that we're comforable switching to a more progressive license vs. what we had.
Cool solution, but I just use Freetube and Newpipe
Microsoft has Microsoft by the balls. They just integrated GPT4 with their browser, search engine, and _desktop operating system_. It would be a mess to suddenly take all this functionality out. They have too much to lose by turning off compute for OpenAI.
This critique in no way invalidates the conclusions of the paper.
If that is a "simple device", we can add it to computers to help synchronize time? For distributed databases it would be helpful
I take some issue with the "revenge" terminology, as it implies an unhealthy adversarial framing of the problem. Whenever I have had to deal with this myself, I've always chosen to view it as my subconscious prioritizing some kind of emotional need over my need for sleep.

Viewed that way, the solution is obvious: Identify the emotional need that I've been neglecting and figure out how to satisfy it during the normal course of my day/week. Like most simple and obvious solutions, however, putting it into practice can sometimes be quite difficult.
2 reasons it's not practical.

Storage is cheap, but compute isn't.
Encoding is lot of compute and losing data by abusing TOS not worth the risk.

Berlin is infamously dysfunctional in many respects. All while being propped up by the Länderfinanzausgleich for decades (86 billion Euros received in 28 years, look at the leftmost column of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A4nderfinanzausgleich#Fin...)
>doesn't seem to have much of a corpus

what do you mean by 'corpus'? It is only 13GB so questions that require recalling specific facts aren't going to work well with so little room for 'compression', but asking mistral to write emails or perform style revisions works quite well for me
> The phrase you quoted "harmful freeloaders" does not appear in any of our texts.

This is nit-picking pedantry. The term "free-riders" appears six times on this site https://fsl.software/, but my bad for using a slightly different term that has the same meaning. From your very public announcement and linking to the text, it's pretty clear what you think of some of your users.

> Our users are free to use the software without contributions in any matter they want. What is not acceptable is to use it to run a competing SaaS business.

You're redefining the concept of "user" to suit your own ends.
But was anyone actually coding in machine code without an assembler?

At least an assembler lets you set strings for all your jump points...
What are you saying. Most of the threads here are anti Altman. e.g. see the top threads here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38325552

Even in this post, your anti Altman post is top rated.

Also I don't know for profit vs not for profit discussion came from? We don't know if Altman is for profit or the board is not for profit. If there is any source for this I would like to know.

And I am with you. Board shouldn't have backed down on this.
This is one thing that germany does right and should be adopted through ought the eu. It’s one of the rare reasons i think germany should use its diktats to steer all eu governments into using open source.

The Uk on the other hand, now that it’s #out and took “are” country back will likely mandate spyware installed by default and “you’re” data made available to corpos by law - cctv installed in your homes by default and perhaps speakers to announce the great achievements of whoever the unelected prime minister of the time is.
If you actually use Signal and you have notifs you would not be saying any of this. Signal is beyond smooth in the UI/UX departments and the only difficulty is someone 1)install app 2) open app 3) enter number or username 4) basically done? That's literally every damn app. So tired of this FUD.

Has all the features of anything else without the bullshit and lack of credibillity/hazard to their own users.

If people respect themselves and their data enough, they will find a way. I've had zero problem with my closest friends cuz they trust I don't assign them random bullshit for shiggles. Maybe you need to reevaluate your relationships and the extent to which you place primacy on being able to communicate freely and without crap that works against you (or at least isnt built to work with you rather than rat you out about everything controversial you privately express)

Just don't get it man, maybe they're more the Telegram type. Nothing's more advanced or private than a Telegram for sure. Stop.
Yeah, I'm not for mindless consumption of social media designed to make you addicted, but this article really feels like the medicalization of what would be described before as a slave revolt.

Playfulness isn't even a basic human traits, it's an animal trait, and yet the lack of any consideration in this article on whether the work/life balance might truly be unhealthy and people just need a breather sometimes, this feels truly sociopathic.
You have a YouTube alternative to recommend I take it? Because I looked for one and there isn’t any, just a bunch of half baked sites that I can’t get to work properly. YouTube ate everything
I cancelled my Replit subscription
I think you're referring to the 'all the way to heaven and all the way to hell' bit.

In principle that's true. But in practice mining rights and such have been split off from the right to the land and some reasonable depth underground. And any objection to an easement would be much harder to establish if it doesn't actually affect you. But for those parties that own the underground and mining rights for a given location there could well be a viable opposition to such a development. But that would then risk an eminent domain claim.

It's all pretty complex. But I would still assume that going underground is easier than going above ground where the parcels are small and the interests are immediate due to interference with existing activity.
> I own several devices that won’t work with a C-to-C cable. Somehow something gets confused. You need to use a C-to-A cable

These devices are probably missing the resistors between each of the two CC pins and the ground, which are necessary to tell the computer on the other end of the C-to-C cable "I'm a device and need you to put 5V on the power pins". The C-to-A cable, on the other hand, always has that 5V power (because the A end of the connection always supplies power; that's the reason why A-to-A cables are forbidden, they would short together the power supply of both ends), which means the device gets powered even if it's missing the CC resistors.

That is, it's a manufacturing defect, and the device was probably tested only with C-to-A cables; once C-to-C cables become more common (at least where I live, it took a long time before I managed to even find one, while C-to-A cables were plentiful and many devices came with one), this will become less of a problem.
Street lights still have shadows and areas that they don't cover. You still have things like the opposite side of cars that you can't see even if you have a street light (ie your bushes example applies with or without street lights). When I say to carry a light, I don't mean the light on your phone, but a proper means of illumination. If done correctly, this would provide plenty of information before in attack range (assuming you're not getting shot at long range, which isn't really an issue in common crime today). There are also defensive tactics with the lights that can benefit you. For example, if someone is waiting in the dark for you (as your comment implies) and you blast them with 1200+ lumens maybe even in strobe mode, you now have the advantage, streetlight or not.

So yeah, you can give out some information by holding a light, mostly about position. You give out much more information being in the light from street lights, such as sex, age, weakness/disability, etc that are more useful to criminals.

The are plenty of areas without street lights or with minimal street lights today. The primary issue as it pertains to crime is not a lack of street lights, but other factors such as socioeconomic factors and defensive knowledge.
Only Elon Musk can save us from the problems Elon Musk gave us.
Surprise: you can like the content on YouTube (which is not their property in the first place) without liking YouTube. YouTube is practically holding an incredible amount of knowledge and information hostage to feed Google’s insatiable desire for profits.

You can like the content while hating the delivery mechanism and trying to fix it up to the best of your ability.
It requires Xerox PARC money to keep it going, and not many companies are that interested.

Facebook was interested into doing the work for PHP.

Shopify is interested into doing the work for Ruby.

Google was interested for a moment, but then instead of spending money on Unladen Swallow, they decided to port Python code into Go instead.

NVidia is interested, but only to the point it is a JIT for CUDA workflows.

Now finally Microsoft and Facebook, seem to be willing to invest into Python, so lets see if this time how long they will care.

Interest alone doesn't make it happen, money, people and management willing to wait, make it happen.

GraalVM would never have happened, if Sun or Oracle had killed MaximeVM after almost a decade of research work.
>Employed full time: Median usual weekly real earnings: Wage and salary workers: 16 years and over

So, a number of problems:

>Since 1979. The drop you see at the beginning of the chart is the tail end of a plunge in the 70s as productivity decoupled from wages. This is where the "gain after a drop" is an issue: we are slightly up from rates that were massively down (and not shown on this chart). Then we see stagnation within a ~15% band until just before the start of the pandemic, where there is a dramatic spike that's already regressing.

Maybe. But on their investing page it literally says to consider an OpenAI investment as a "donation" as it is very high risk and will likely not pay off. Everyone knew this going into it.
Yes, I meant it's a 'monospace (font) only' and not a programming font.
> honestly at this point I think GPT4 would to a better job than most MTurkers at these tasks...

This makes the conclusion only worse for GPT-4 ...

In the US, bitmapped fonts are not covered by copyright, as they're considered to be digital representations of typefaces (which aren't covered either).
