Congratulations, that’s a pretty impressive feat. It’s fantastic to see how fast things are developing. I may be wrong but the current momentum to develop viable alternatives to the big proprietary engines feels real and not just based on hype. We may reach a point in a few years where Blender + Godot are basically the go-to option for small to medium size studio, which is crazy to think about given the state of game dev just 10-15 years ago.

At the same time I find it hard to not feel cynical when I see that much money invested by a VC firm into an open source project.

I wish the best to the Godot team, so far they have a been pretty good at leading the project.
I agree but the IDF would probably destroy it before it could hit the ground
At least the video by James Hoffman I watched yesterday (too lazy to find the link, it's somewhere else in the comments) wasn't about experience, but about objective measures: How charged were the particles, how long did it take X amount of water go through the same amount of beans? The guy in the video even said he wasn't sure if the resulting coffee was better or not, just that it slowed down extraction, which usually ends up with more chemicals in your espresso afterwards.

Does it address my main issue of cache sharing? If cache is still over the network, then it's not optimal, as it's the bottleneck for everything. E.g. our node_modules is 3 GB, and once you gzip and gunzip it takes minutes. With pnpm cache store we can reduce this to seconds.

The example in the linked blog is easy to detect, but often duplicate code exists across files, often unrelated. Just today I deleted several React components that literally only varied by name and were intentionally copy-pasted. I only realized because I the one I edited was imported by the same file as others.

They revoke a license I paid for, then demand I buy another license for the exact same thing.

The licenses were NOT supposed to expire.
The basic difference is pointing that there is something more fundamental and it doesn't have to do with physics. It has to do with math, with calculus, and with approximating complex functions via perturbative expansions. This is very general and applies to other kinds of systems, not necessarily physical. That's the key insight.

The first relevant term is quadratic in the potential around a stable equilibrium but linear in the force. That's why they are called linear harmonic oscillators, I thought that was obvious in my description.
Some algorithms in networkit, like approximate betweenness, are amazing.

We shouldn't.harras people. But working extra is working to build a machine that HAS to be worked extra. You are solidifying the fact that work CAN'T get done in the normal hours. And then when the company goes to replace that person they will have to pay extra to get the same thing.

Even if you forget the workers. It's not good for the company.

If you want to be selfish, no judgement, sometimes you gotta do that, but don't be confused about the fact that externally it does harm.

I don't think there is one right answer - for a normal morning brew (15-20g of beans) 2 spritz out of one of those small spray bottles should be in range. Two spritz, then shake the beans up (like in a cup), and grind as normal. You may notice some changes in your brewing method: faster or slower brews. Adjust to taste.
DRM could also be executed in a way that makes it impossible for companies to claw back the content. DVDs use DRM and all it does is restrict what devices can access it, but it can't be retroactively clawed back. Consumers understanding when that is the case is the problem. They just assume it can't be clawed back or they just think it's very unlikely, and only get mad when it happens. Unexpected restrictions in content is a centralized platform thing in general and can happen with your own content on any cloud storage provider for example, it isn't necessarily a DRM problem.
All rights are fictitious. All laws are made up. They're simply defined to provide a guide for liberty and order. They're not always enforced. People's defined rights are different over countries and years. Slaves had their rights defined by others throughout history, and many groups considered slavery justified where the master had rights to the slave and the slave had rights defined by the master. Saying copyright itself is fictitious doesn't mean anything.

Copyright rules make sense in protecting inventors and product owners. Maybe you've been neither and can't understand how the lack of this protection harms inventors and owners to the benefit of plagiarists. It's much easier to plagiarize than invent or produce, so without copyright protection, inventors and product owners basically become giant fat cash cows ready to plunder by passers-by that can just copy and paste. Removing copyright would turn the market completely feudalist and chaotic.

Throwing copyright statutes away is also chaotic. Reverting to common law? I'm not sure what you mean there. Just however people feel at the time? We've already evolved past the caveman era.

Publishers do also have the option of including their own DRM, which Steam proactively discloses, one of the things that I love most about it. But it's rare enough (basically just Ubisoft and EA) that I can fully boycott anything with that label without feeling like I'm missing out.
Agreed. But I suppose to save more lives, it is worth it?
It depends a lot on the grinder. On some of my grinders this is true, on others its "bad to awful" from the light to dark roast categories.

Also remember, one man's "light roast" is another's dark roast. I consider light something like nordic (and lighter) - what others consider light I would put well past "medium" but before "oily" - I consider "dark" right before beans start to get oily.
Each section has a clear heading. If you don't care about a section, all you have to do is scroll a little bit. No one is forcing you to read the "about me" section.

Some people actually enjoy reading about tools, rather than just looking at it from an entitled viewpoint of "what can I do to get this running as fast as humanly possible while reading as minimal words as possible". This is a tool that someone else wrote that you get to use for free, so stop whining and let them be free to express themselves as they see fit.
Thanks for posting about this. I had no clue it existed and I have to say I agree I really like how elegant it looks.
Seems like Socket's mobile platform support is more mature than Tauri's to me. Are there other benefits to solo devs or small teams choosing Socket over Tauri beyond that and not having to write Rust to interact with the underlying system?
How much does “productivity” applications like Slack contribute to this problem?
Yeaaa. This bothers me, too, on a conceptual level, and I’ve been thinking about setting up a NAS and doing the whole Plex thing. But on a practical level, I’ve “owned” movies and tv shows on (the service formerly known as) iTunes for like 15 years without issue. I question whether, on average, I’d be able to do as good a job, and how much effort it’d take.
> Anecdotally I would observe that few people pirate games, movies, books, etc released by publishers with a record for respecting their consumer based - compared to piracy of media released by publishers that do things like revoking access to media you’ve paid for

Anecdotally I've seen a lot of comments over the years from book authors whose books are sold completely DRM-free, as physical books and/or DRM-free PDFs, say that they are widely pirated.

There are a lot of people who will always find an excuse to pirate. Even if the ebook is inexpensive, DRM-free, in a completely open format everything can read, and the license allows everything that you can do with a physical book bought from a bookstore including lending it to others as long as only one person at a time has access, people will find some excuse for why they must pirate it, like "I wanted to buy 3 books that week, from 3 publishers, and it is too much hassle to have to enter my credit card number on 3 different web sites".

Being a charlatan and having a few interesting things to say are not mutually exclusive...
I don't think this is a valid take. Some, like myself, have left over this issue. Many discussions happened in private for various obvious reasons.

But your reasoning at the end was not my understanding.

That said, I have nothing but respect for my former colleagues there. Some of the best engineers have I worked with are still at Hashicorp. :-)

There are moral principles, and legal principles. Legally, you are right. But the moral perception of piracy is shifting, and broadly speaking, this entire debate is in the moral/philosophical realm.

Legal systems ultimately enshrine the human morality in law. Common law - through case law, civil law - by committees that the legislators consult, religious law - by morality described in legal texts. We're not talking about any of it though. We are talking about day-to-day things, like what does it mean to steal, what kind of consequences it has, are these consequences real or supposed, and other such things.

Law is generally blind to externalities of an action. An action itself is legal, illegal, or undefined in law. We're not in this domain if we talk about the consequences of piracy or how someone might feel about it. We are having a conversation on morals.

Shifting morals will eventually shift the law, of course.
The company name alone already tipped me off. It's all very ridiculous, and yet posted here.
My hope, being fair to Mistral, is that they keep supporting the 7B model series, and release a set of products such as: one off non-commercial and commercial model purchases of more capable 13B, 20B, and 30B models. I would also like to see a subscription service so, if for example, I was using 13B commercially, I could pay a yearly fee for updates and support for that model.

EDIT: since I am retired and just obsess about LLMs and in general deep learning as a ‘gentleman scientist’ I hope Mistral has inexpensive non-commercial options for larger, more capable, and commercially supported models.
Maybe it's just me but wiring electronics into the brains of animals to remote control them seems morally wrong, even if it's "for a good cause."

I love these IKEA hospitals and the quote at the end of the article assembled it all together,

"The hospital is a small contribution by India to humanitarian work around the world,” she said. “We are now ready to share it with any country that needs it.”

It reflects a new way of thinking and a fresh world view. A vastly different view from the one I grew up in (80s)... Which was huge headlines in NYT about how poor countries need aid and western aid organizations are helping them. When in reality it was "relief theater".

Good luck.

I've been in your camp on all fronts for a while, but Spotify has been getting worse and more expensive, and there are some meaningful gaps in their catalog. I got rid of my CDs a decade+ ago, but I think it's time to start buying and ripping music again.

I believe you mean Sephardi Jews, Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of European descent. And if you knew any Sephardi Israelis, like some of my coworkers, you'd know they mostly feel treated differently. I don't know any Ethiopians Israelis, but it seems to be worse for them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Israel

> Some elements within the Ashkenazi Israeli Jewish population have also been described as holding discriminatory attitudes towards fellow Jews of other backgrounds, including against Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Sephardi Jews, etc. Although intermarriage between Ashkenazim and Sephardim/Mizrahim is increasingly common in Israel, and social integration is constantly improving, disparities continue to persist. Ethiopian Jews in particular have faced discrimination from non-Black Jews. It has been suggested that the situation of the Ethiopian Jews as 'becoming white' is similar to that of some European immigrants like Poles and Italians who arrived in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

You'd be surprised to know most white supremacists are pro-Israel (including the original German Nazi party, guess which side most white supremacist political parties are?), mostly because they see it as a way to get Jewish people out of their country and keep the Middle-East destabilized.

One may not like Deleuze's system, but I don't think it's fair to call him a charlatan. His work on other philosophers (e.g. Leibniz) is highly regarded, he provided valuable counterpoints to Freud, and Badiou accused him of being a secret platonist, which I think most hn-posters would appreciate. His one-off observations alone should be enough to grant him the benefit of the doubt. If you don't recognize sparks of brilliance in his lectures and conversations, well! See the abecediary, or his lecture on cinema as the creative act, or any of his readings of past philosophers.
Its nice to create a usb drive that protects people in danger and then publishing on the web how to undo all its benefits, i’d argue that having something with a common universal method of unlocking is almost useless imho, maybe even dangerous, but probably is a nice exercise

But that's not within your control. To use iMessage with Android users you'd need to convince them to use an iMessage client. Usually that means buying an Apple device, but with Beeper Mini the burden was reduced to an app install. But you still need Android users to take affirmative action for you to use iMessage with them.
"Stealing" has been used as a common word for "copying without permission" in the digital age. To try to play word games by trying to walk back the definition of stealing to mean only "taking someone's physical property" is completely pointless and futile unless you're just trying to feel OK with yourself copying without permission.

If I produce and distribute content like music or videos, it's fair for me to want people that want to rent or own it to pay for it. I put a lot of time and effort into it, I have to manage and market it, maybe store it, and I want to make a living at it.

If people are stealing it, ahem, copying without permission, it undercuts my living. I have a right to earning from my work, and you don't have a right to just download it or copy it or distribute it to others without me getting paid for it. It's literally preventing earnings for me that would otherwise happen if you didn't copy it without permission (ahem, stealing).
Worth considering who told you they’re evil.
Countries spy on each other constantly, it's just that articles about the US doing so receive far more clicks. Europe does a similar amount of spying on the US, here's a couple articles where it's revealed or they admit it:

The project was originally started to build a faster directed graph to use as the underlying data structure for the DAG at the center of qiskit-terra's transpiler. However, since it's initial introduction the project has grown substantially and now covers all applications that need to work with graphs which includes Qiskit.

ha ha only serious: the real philosophy is the one we found along the way
I mean you seem to be simply reducing spying to the GPD, when it varies very much with the policies of a country. Israel is 27th by GDP but is a world leader in espionage, and especially in surveillance tools. Similarly France is good enough at spying that it got offered to join the 5 eyes (it did not work out because France asked the mutual non-spying clause to be applied, which the US refused).

So while it is probable that the US has a bigger spying industry, it's also hasty to dismiss another player by saying "lol 10% of GDP"

Well France carried spying activities in Syria through Lafarge. Sometimes all you need is a foothold into the good places (Syria, or, for L'Oréal, rich circles)
I do think in a moral world, every information ought to be publicly accessible. My bank account information should be available for anyone that ask themselves how much money I have access to.

And I'm not equating art and information. I agree that art have the right to be reserved for the artist. I disagree that the recordings themselves have the same rights. And especially the 'master recording' concept that can prevent an artist to play his own songs on stage. I'm on Swift's side against Scooter Braun basically.
