> Look at Elastic, MongoDB, RHEL and HashiCorp - all with amazing adoption - having trouble attracting paying customers to pay them over someone else and subsequently having to remove the ability of others to monetize their product.

Those are still service problems. If you as the author of the project can't build a solid moat around it that entices users to use your commercial service over someone else's, that means you haven't done a good job at it, and others have.

It's a difficult balance to keep OSS users happy, while also making the best commercial offering. Not many companies do this right. I think Grafana has done a solid job of monetizing the open core model. I struggle to think of others, but I'm sure they exist.

EDIT: Another example might be Automattic. I'm not a WordPress user, but AFAIK it has a very healthy open source community, and wordpress.com is _the_ place to use it commercially. Doesn't WP run something like half of all web sites?

I know people who are running Supbase in production for Enterprise customers so that claim is just false.
Paying for subscription is only when the publisher has opted into monetization. Which isn’t the case for US government agencies.

That said, I hate Medium with a passion and that things like the Netflix tech blog are hosted there.
The risk is low, but voting with your wallet is the only tool available to regular people. If you're unhappy with how Boeing has been handling their business, what other actions are available to you?
Energy harvesting is useful where the power need is very low and changing batteries is inconvenient and/or expensive. So it makes sense where you need to deploy a large network of low power sensors. But ordinary batteries or mains power should be the default choice for most applications.
What's the downside for you? If you don't care just ignore it.

Having the option, even if rarely used, is a good signal to bean counters that cutting corners on safety or quality or even leg room is unacceptable.
The point of school / university is to teach you how to think and program so it's different from commercial work (where you want to speed up things). So yes, I would force my students to write code by hand without any shortcuts, there will be time to use copilot or gpt ;)

Open source isn't just about self hosting.

It also allows developers to look at the code that's actually running, even if they don't run it themselves.
getting a machine to do that sort of real-time spatial reasoning may well be harder than getting it to tell you the meaning of life or whatever. brains are inextricable from the evolution of directed locomotion. several species of sessile tunicates begin life as a motile larva that reabsorbs a significant portion of its cerebral ganglion once it settles down. BDNF is released in humans upon physical activity. the premotor cortex dwarfs wernicke's area. and no "AI" development that's been hyped in the past decade as intelligent could be usefully strapped to a boston dynamics dog.
Perhaps you're wrong in expecting the term "paranoia" to be exclusive to some clinical definition that you happened to be seeking at that time.

I don't see how stories sharing some common structure (what does that even mean? rise-and-fall combinations?) makes it impossible to become overloaded by them.

It looks great, but to me this is pretty much the opposite of what I want to use - the demo video at least is so busy, and full of transitions and other distractions.

There was a time I'd absolutely have loved something like that (and had all the window effects turned on when the first compositors started arriving) and it looks very cool, but other than translucency I've progressively stripped back everything.

I'll never try to compete with something like that on either effects or features. I might add some very minor eye candy. But that's fine - one of the things I've always loved about the Linux/Unix desktop is how you can get everything from the most minimalist to the effects-laden, and I've used wm's pretty much everywhere on that spectrum myself too over the years.

I sympathise re: drivers - that or the browsers finally abandoning X would be the only things that'd give me enough reason to switch. But I'd be more likely to switch if I get around to scratching the itch of yet another homegrown minimalist step down the stack... (I have a weird urge to write a Frankencompositor that supports Wayland clients and enough to support an out-of-band X11 style window manager and the brutally insecure X11 style event snooping and injection; partly because it'd really irritate some Wayland purists - I'm resisting that urge for now because it'd be a massive time-suck)
Smaller companies that aren't "tech" companies are more likely to not be followers of the theology of FrAgile. However, in such cases, you may have to put in effort to advocate against those who want the team to adopt some variant of it. This is not just because FrAgile is usually a waste of time, but because it can end up being nothing but a micromanagement tool at small to medium size companies.

> and instead prioritize high IQ

It's interesting that you say that, because I believe it juxtaposes your desire to avoid FrAgile, since that is a concept embraced by many people with higher than average IQs.

On the contrary, I'd rather be at a company that values practicality and excellence (while respecting work-life balance) over intelligence. I find raw intelligence to be massively overrated, and the worst teams I've had to work with are ones full of geniuses, most of whom inevitably waste time on poppycock that creates development friction and doesn't deliver value to customers. I'd rather work with people with maybe a bit higher than average intelligence who can see the forest for the trees, while also avoiding FrAgile-adjacent methodologies.
FWIW, the people I've seen use xxxxx.com as their Bluesky handle are using bsky.xxxxx.com as their redirect. Bluesky supports redirects via CNAME records, so it's definitely a supported idea to redirect from your domain to Bluesky.

Unless you're implying that Supabase are for some reason deliberately releasing separate defective software to the open source community... to... convince users that using their commercial services is a good reliable option??? I can't really figure out how or why any business would go to the effort of doing this. It seems patently easier to be a legit open source company.

Assuming you're not implying the above & I've just misinterpreted... everything else in your comment paints Supabase in an eminently positive light.
Movie cyberpunk makes the ugly pretty and the sordid exciting, upping the saturation until the fluorescents become psychedelic.

The avoidance of self-plagiarism isn't some kind of honour code for all aspects of life - it only applies to the specific case of a paper to submit for academic credit. The examples you describe have nothing to do with that, of course.

>As many as it meets the requirements for.

What I'm trying to tell you is that it normally won't meet the requirements a second time. It's usually part of the university's examination regulations that a paper has to be original. Everything else is seen as an attempt of scientific deception that consequently can and will be treated as a violation of regulations.

But I have to admit I'm not sure if that's a universal rule, or just where I'm from. I suspect we might be having some kind of cultural divide at play here. May I ask what part of the world you're in?
> We somehow qualified for public assistance.

What's so infuriating is that you even had to "qualify", and that many (presumably) don't. It would be nice if the USA caught up and joined the world's civilised countries.

So let's entertain that this is in fact the case: it makes no sense in practice to self host for production. Even if that is the case, you're still better off building on top of an Open Source product because you're in a much stronger position in being able to fork than hoping that the company you rely on will stay around and not charge you to death.

A lot of products we all use underwent complex business changes, but the Open Source ones still are here for us to use. MySQL had a tumultuous past and yet there is a very active version of it hanging around under a new business.

The marketing angle is for the company to leverage, but the open source nature of it is for the user.
This is why I freaking love the movie Blade Runner 2049. It resonated with me tremendously besides being a great movie. Give it a shot if you have not!
> The thing is that economy does not make sense without people. Economy is a way to allocate human work and resources, and provide incentives for humans to collaborate, factoring in the available resource limits.

I disagree with the underlying presumption. We've been using animal labour since at least the domestication of wolves, and mechanical work since at least the ancient Greeks invented water mills. Even with regard to humans and incentives, slave labour (regardless of the name they want to give it) is still part of official US prison policy.

Economics is a way to allocate resources towards production, it isn't limited to just human labour as a resource to be allocated.

And it's capitalism specifically which is trying to equate(/combine?) the economy with incentives, not economics as a whole.

> Now if AGI make people's work redundant, and makes economy grow 100-10000x times... what does that measure mean at all?

From the point of view of a serf in 1700, the industrial revolution(s) did this.

Most of the population worked on farms back then, now it's something close to 1% of the population, and we've gone from a constant threat of famine and starvation, to such things almost never affecting developed nations, so x100 productivity output per worker is a decent approximation even in terms of just what the world of that era knew.

Same deal, at least if this goes well. What's your idea of supreme luxury? Super yacht? Mansion? Both at the same time, each with their own swimming pool and staff of cleaners and cooks, plus a helicopter to get between them? With a fully automated economy, all 8 billion of us can have that — plus other things beyond that, things as far beyond our current expectations as Google Translate's augmented reality mode is from the expectations of a completely illiterate literal peasant in 1700.

> Can produce lots of stuff not needed or affordable by anybody?

Note that while society does now have an obesity problem, we're not literally drowning in 100 times as much food as we can eat; instead, we became satisfied and the economy shifted, so that a large fraction of the population gained luxuries and time undreamed of to even the richest kings and emperors of 1700.

So "no" to "not needed".

I'm not sure what you mean by "or affordable" in this case? Who/what is setting the price of whatever it is you're imagining in this case, and why would they task an AI to make something at a price that nobody can pay?

> So we just hand out welfare tickets to take care of the consumption of the ferocious production, a kind of paperclip-maximizer is doing? I suggest reading the novel Autofac, it might turn out prophetic.

Could end up like that. Plenty of possible failure modes with AI. That's part of the whole AI alignment and AI safety topics.

But mainly, UBI is the other side of the equation: to take care of human needs in the world where we add zero economic value because AI is just better at everything.
That would be interesting, and then I could say that I'm not just 5 3 (158 cm) but I'm also slightly more evolved. Just kidding ^^
I agree with you, but in my case I'm teaching programming, so doing table-top assignments is a no-go for me. I wrote too many C programs with a paper in a pen to know how bad it is. :)

That's why those assessments are tailored to be done at home, and then they send me an archive or a Git repo link.
In human groups, hierarchy is inevitable due to human nature (we're social apes). Attempts to create hierarchy-free social settings only result in creating systems in which the dominant social hierarchy is implicit, unstated, officially unrecognized... and therefore impossible to regulate.

For me they actually didn't, there are two admissions tracks, quota 1 and quota 2. The first is much more based on your "gpa" type thing, which is converted by the educational institution you apply for. The danish grades system is strange, a 12 point scale, with the only possible grades being 0 (a fail), 2 (barely passed), 4, 7, 10, and 12 (excellent grade).

Personally my A levels results weren't great so I applied via quota 2, where it is more about the personal statement you submit and other external achievements. I had done work in open source and won some programming competitions which meant I got in relatively easily. Amusingly enough they did want me to submit proof of my English proficiency which was hard because I had never done an exam in it but it was easy enough with a phone call to resolve that (presumably partly because they could hear me conducting the phone call in english aha)

here you can find the guidelines they use to convert foreign exams

I'm with you on this one. «Proper» open source software are installable with distributions package manager with workable defaults, albeit opinionated but crafted with minimum care for a targeted usage.

Maybe it's not viable for commercial purpose, but status quo hurt open source software hard by a strong erosion of what to expect of it, without clear long term benefits for companies choosing such a scheme.
The theory is they needed more oxygen-rich air because the square-cube law means an animal 2X the length, width, height of an elephant has 8X as much mass to deliver oxygen to. The heart can only work so hard, and as far as I know, there has never been a land animal with more than one heart or one set of lungs.

I'm not sure if this theory is still accepted though, as it seems the current consensus is that the air was actually less oxygenated during the dinosaurs' lives.
> you have to make this massive decision with no real information to base the decision off of: namely which server to use.

I think people exaggerate how massive a decision this is. When the news that Twitter might be bought by a naughty melon broke, I revived an old mastodon.online account that I'd created back during a _previous_ Twitter scandal, used that for a bit, then moved to mastodon.ie. Moving is, generally, reasonably easy. Now there are edge-cases; your instance might just _go away_, say. But generally you can't go too far wrong by initially selecting one of the big ones and then moving as and when.
You clearly don’t get the difference between business models and raising interest. It’s interesting that a service I would use has open code because, you know, transparency is important. That lazy or incompetent users can’t get complicated software running doesn’t mean a scheme is in place, either.
I don’t know about the hierarchy thing but humans are very different from apes.

One good uni friend of mine was an avid anarchist. We spent countless hours with him pitching Kropotkin and texts like the above (this was pre-Youtube). Then I had a chance to work for him: he still had anarchism thing going but was ruling his subordinates with steel grip and very much hierarchical way. Much later when I checked him on LinkedIn he was rising through Product Manager ranks on FB.
The difference is that the callee working on the fd it received need to check if fd's type is pipe or socket and call close() or shutdown(fd, 1) accordingly.

This is not a pipe vs socket issue only but a penalty for having a vfs abstraction. Files, pipes, sockets, and more all have stream like behavior but they can vary widely and many cases demand leaking the vfs abstraction to check what's the fd type.
At least in a bunch of the defense agencies, books close for new stuff mid-August. The Aug-Oct timeframe is used to finish executing already in-flight stuff. And if you miss the 10/1 deadline, you're waiting at least until Feb (for many reasons...), assuming Congress has passed a budget.

Anarchy also has much lower baseline density. You can have anarchy between tribes in the Amazon or Far North, but not in a metropolis.

Be wary that many proponents of Anarchy may be the criminally inclined types, so they don't actually have any magical trick to make anarchy non-violent - it's just OK for them to live in violent society because they'll be on top. Think Makhno band.

This reads to me (and the OP) that you are saying the purpose of this "insanely expensive cluster" was to "show a benchmark."

While historically you are correct, having a single file descriptor for reading and writing to distinct streams is confusing and can break code. Bidirectionally buffered wrappers over file descriptors (FILE, std::fstream for example) share the buffer between the read and write side, so you have to use distinct buffered wrappers with dup'd file descriptor anyway.

Also the tty is typically connected to stdin, stdout and stderr, that are separate file descriptor (again, a leaky abstraction when they refer to the same description).
You don't need to guess it, you can see it in its source code:

var clock;
$(document).ready(function() {
// Grab the current date
var currentDate = new Date();
// Set some date in the future. In this case, it's always Jan 1
var futureDate = new Date(currentDate.getFullYear() + 1, 0, 1);
// Calculate the difference in seconds between the future and current date
var diff = futureDate.getTime() / 1000 - currentDate.getTime() / 1000;
// Instantiate a coutdown FlipClock
clock = $('.clock').FlipClock(diff, {
clockFace: 'DailyCounter',
countdown: true
});
});
