“ It is still recommended to support the creators by watching/liking/subscribing to the artists' YouTube channels or liking their tracks on Spotify (or purchasing a Spotify Premium subscription too)”

Likes/subscribes are not support. Artists deserve to make a living.

I’m supremely frustrated by the current state of TV shows (need 8 subscriptions and still have shows I can’t watch). Music on the other hand is wonderful. Many services to choose from, all including basically all music. Different price points for ads/quality level. We should be delighted to pay $10 a month for unlimited music (or free ad supported) and not ruin a good thing.
Marijuana use has definitely increased since 2012, but it was pretty flat from 1992-2012 according to the same site I linked above.
My dad had something called Typing Teacher on his Windows 3.1 machine. I was too young to use it as a serious tool though. Learning to type "just happened" as an accidental side effect to using the computer all day long.

Same as you, I don't remember ever struggling with learning to type or anything. I could just do it.

More recently, I switched over to a Kinesis/Moonlander keyboard, so I had to put in actual effort to relearn to type. It wasn't as easy the second time around...
On the other hand, I can’t make Firefox my default browser because my work VPN opens the system browser for logging in, and it only works with edge or chrome. I wish the VPN would just open an edge web view for it’s messed up weird website.
I wanted to chime in and mention that we've never seen any issues with IOMMU before in Ceph. We have a previous generation of the same 1U chassis from Dell with AMD Rome processors in the upstream ceph lab and they don't suffer from the same issue despite performing similarly at the same scale (~30 OSDs). The customer did say they've seen this in the past in their data center. I'm hoping we can work with AMD to figure out what's going on.

I did some work last summer kind of duct taping the OSD's existing threading model (double buffering the hand-off between async msgr and worker threads, adaptive thread wakeup, etc). I could achieve significant performance / efficiency gains under load, but at the expense of increased low-load latency (Ceph by default is very aggressive about waking up threads when new IO arrives for a given shard).

One of the other core developers and I discussed it and we both came to the conclusion that it probably makes sense to do a more thorough rewrite of the threading code.
I have the fortune to reside in Russia-controlled Donbas. Over here they have been blocking all WireGuard connections for a long time. OpenVPN seems to be blocked selectively depending on the host. The government and commerce must need it more than WireGuard.

It isn't consistent. Different ISPs block different hosts and protocols at different times. I assume we are a kind of test and staging environment for censorship in Russia.

In the interest of anonymity I am not going to respond to your questions.
Messing around with hardware and the software that runs on it is how you really learn how computers and software work. The original Mac SE and Mac IIs came withe a hardware debugger you could enter anytime with a literal button on the front.

Ive worked at a lot of different earlier stage software companies in the US and we've always fired very quickly, especially if there was harassment, but also just for low performance. Were you working at bigger companies? (aside from the tiny startup where the ceo wanted you to commit fraud) This hasn't been my experience at all.
As soon as this change was announced, I cancelled my Spotify subscription. I know it won’t mean much of anything to the overall number but at least in my case, they saved less than $10 in royalties at a cost of $132 in subscription fees.

The main issue I see is that we are discussing in HN complex subjects like sending spaceships, AI, chip making, and arguing about something that if not fixed is because of bureaucracy first. For example, don't you think that the issue with the woman in the article could be easily solved with the UK resources put in health? I understand that probably you cannot solve 100% of cases but it is aberrant that the issue is not solved when perfectly can be.

> we had a much better connection with what it meant to be human when we were tilling dirt and making clay pots and weaving cloth for each other

Actually, I agree. I think Nick Cave is right about this. I do think this sort of alienation has a cost.

But that doesn't mean that there is any remotely moral case for undoing the green revolution and allowing billions to starve. And it does not mean that the machines which feed those billions of people who might otherwise starve are somehow the root cause of a decline of humanity. In fact, quite the opposite.

And this is the paradox: our alienation from agricultural work is precisely what enables our very existence.

My main observation is that there is a way out of this paradox. As it turns out, you can go out grow some food in a garden, or write a song, or paint a picture, even if that work is commodified and there is no paycheck. The commodification and automation of those industries does not prevent one from engaging in them as soul-work.

The teacher who plays in a band in his garage is no different -- from a "soul of humanity" perspective -- than Nick Cave. But Nick Cave's implicit argument argument demands that he is different, and not from an economic perspective, but from a very soul of humanity perspective. It's extraordinarily off-putting to me in that sense.

Of course, engaging in art as hobby instead of for pay does require free time and a share of returns on our societal bargain. On that note: elites like Nick Cave should be spearheading serious conversations about political economics and labor economics, instead of lamenting the loss of their extraordinarily unique status.
Any accidental policy that disincentivizes R&D is stupid, but par for the course in recent history for the U.S.

Major materials innovations are discovered here, but the only nations that want to actually invest and build upon them are currently in Asia.

The argument was that the US wants to transition away from building things towards building software which is more profitable, and then this...

This is what happens when a monoculture of business/law/finance-thinking takes over political leadership.
The unabomber also had a point about modern society, even if his proposed course of action to address them was counter productive and insane.

No one sane I can think of is going to reference the unabomber manifesto in their public policy document proposing fixing any of those problems in an actually sane way, because most folks who would read that are going to automatically assume the person shares values or sympathies with the Unabomber. And the Unabomber was a literal terrorist nut job, even if he was brilliant in some other areas. Which is bad for the writer.

So I’m sure those folks will get some credit, just not in a way that will reference that email and hence draw an association with a convicted murderer who was also a major asshole to most of his co-contributors.

Guilt by association exists, even if irrational and it causes shitty outcomes sometines. If someone has something to lose with their public persona, it’s a good idea to not associate with problematic people because of it.
Don't sign up directly. Sign up as Apple TV "channel" which forces the streamer to provide the subscription through Apple's App Store and the beautifully pro-consumer subscription management it offers: reminders you're on the subscription, transparency on the plans and pricing, one click cancellation, all in a one location.

Of course, if devs are intending to make money from subscriptions, devs may rationalize how devs should be in control of the user's subscription instead of letting the user pick Apple because users trust Apple will balance power for users.
Unfortunately, thanks to the Great Firewall of China, there has been a lot of resources put in to fingerprint VPNs and block them by state actors.

Fortunately, however, there is equally years of some of the smartest minds on the planet working to bypass Chinese censorship, so there are some great OpenVPN alternatives.

I really encourage you to look into something like Shadowsocks which Chinese people have found great success in using over the last several years.

In your case, however, it's worth mentioning that if you can't connect at all then it's likely they've blocked the commercial IPs of the VPN nodes.

It's quite sad that projects like Streisand[0] were archived, but I'm sure there are other alternatives that might make it just as easy to roll onto a server.

Of course. But you do understand that cars can only hold so many people, right?

So the people turned in the opposite direction by helping each other brave the cold. The people with cars could have gone all “I got mine”, but once made aware that others were suffering chose to act to the benefit of the group instead.

It’s interesting how you managed to write an entire comment about just that, yet don’t seem to understand it.

You’re clearly passionate about this cause, and while I respect your dedication to equality I wish you’d find a different target to redirect your vigor towards.

Policing my language is not a way to win friends, it’s a way to force your view on me. I find this offensive. A sibling commenter mentioned that you’re going to cause others to dig in their heels, and I agree with them. Your zealotry in demanding that I change my speech is overbearing and likely damaging to your cause.

I also notice you’ve twice called other posters cowards, asserted that another should “educate themselves”, and said that you don’t have time for people who “aren’t interested in making the world a better place”, defined as such, of course, by you. Not only are you deciding for others how they should be thinking and speaking, you’re also aggressive about it. I’d encourage you to re-assess your authoritarian attitude.

There are better venues to creating a more equal society than to force others to speak in your preferred manner just because you don’t like certain words.
This is absolutely amazing, thank you for sharing that! I have added the link in the end of the article.
While I agree that I don't want to hear about some things in the workplace, I don't know how to define that. Many decisions a company makes are inherently political.
It’s up to individuals to decide if they are wasting their own resources. Everyone has a different perspective. Personally, I think SUVs are a waste and should be banned, but wouldn’t that be overreaching?

Individuals don’t pay for their waste when they aren’t paying for negative externalities.

That’s why a carbon tax is a better solution - it ensures people are paying the true price for a resource. Let people decide their own life after that, they’ll do a better of job of it than someone else deciding their life for them.

(You probably need more than just a carbon tax to fairly price the resource. For example, mining fossil fuels causes health issues for workers, and impacts the local environment.
From my reading, that would be an expense directly related to the development of the software, which also must be amortized.

What I haven't figured out is what the Dev agency has to do. They don't own the software being developed. Unless they have in-house libraries they develop...

And how does this work for open source projects that have corporate support to be developed on during company time? If you amortized the "R&D excited" of the developer's salary on the premise that the software will make long-term, recurring income, what does that mean for software that isn't being sold?

My previous job, I was the only software developer, making a tool that employees and customers in the company used together. We didn't sell the software, we sold a service completely unrelated to the software, the software was just a supplement to the service.
Russians at this point are somewhat accepting the latest shenanigans of Roskomnadzor and in some cases are even somewhat supportive of it ("necessary evil"). So part of why there is not a lot of discussion on the English internet is that not even on the Russian internet there is not a ton of discussion about it.

VPNs stop and continue working on a somewhat regular schedule for a long time at this point.

> Or we can stop trying to have the government solve every problem there is and stop taxing people at every instance of money transfer. If you’re an average person your income is taxed, your spending is taxed and any investments you make are then taxed. If you give someone a gift it’s taxed ffs. The end result is a government that spends more than it makes so think tanks can push the idea we need to find more ways and people to tax.

That literally is what I am proposing. Things like pollution, global warming, and resource extraction should have the costs on the commons paid back to the commons. If that cost is too high for profitability, the business shouldn't exist.

Trying to ELI5-style compress an answer to 'explain the chip industry' means you have to be very opinionated in a way that's uncomfortable, and the way the question was framed, part of the answer will sound wrong to you.

TL;DR: TSMC bet on a particular manufacturing method (EUV), and it paid off. The company that makes the machines for that method is absurdly backordered. Also, people way overrate how ahead TSMC was/is, there was a halycon moment where Apple went ARM on desktop _and_ had exclusivity on TSMC's best node improvement in years. People were doing Apple's to oranges, ascribing the improvements from the die shrink to Apple's genius / TSMC's manufacturing. For verification dig into Apple community's in-depth reaction to recent M3 release, you'll find the take is generally def. not worth the upgrade if you have M2.
Personally, I think we should stop looking for sinless saviors, and embrace good ideas regardless of their origin.
I think had relatives in Poland in the 1980s who were collecting social security for a dead person.

The U.S. has a database of social security numbers of the deceased which is quite interesting for a few reasons. It is closely guarded because social security numbers are assigned sequentially by geographic region so if you know someone’s SSN you can get their date of birth or vice versa.

If you manage to get in that database you are really in trouble because every financial institution has a copy of that list and there is no procedure to get you off. It is quite literally a “financial death sentence.”

I suppose this is a question of what is art. There have been numerous attempts at defining it and there are a few schools of thought. Many of those focus on the artist and what part of the artist, what part of their being, was put into the artwork and what they were trying to convey. This does not exist in AI generated content and, I suppose, this is what is hurting people in the art business: there is no individual being behind this, so it's like it's soul-less.

On the other hand, there are plenty of people, including me, who are not really affected by what artist created what and why. We care more about whether the art touches you, conveys a thought, a feeling, leaves you changed. Such art can be a joining of previous arts and therefore can be generated by AI or produced by an "amateur", who only copies others' artstyles. I would still consider it art.

This AI revolution on the artistic fields will no doubt leave many authors scrambling for work because AI will produce better results faster. Originality and more personal notes will save a few, so I doubt that the most prolific and well known auteurs are in danger, but many many will not be so lucky. Just like in industrial revolution in the past.
If you're willing to use mirror vdevs, expansions can be done two drives at a time.Also, depending on how often your data changes, you should check out snapraid. Doesn't have all the features of ZFS but its perfect for stuff that rarely changes (media or, in your case, archiving).

Also unionfs or similar can let you merge zfs and snapraid into one unified filesystem so you can place important data in zfs and unchanging archive data in snapraid.

an interesting analogy, thanks, I'll trade you some lines I heard from Johnny Cash:

Well John Henry hammered in the mountain, he'd give a grunt and he'd give groan with every swing, the women folks for miles around, heard him and come down, to watch him make the cold steel ring, Lord what a swinger, just listen to that cold steel ring

But the bad boss come up laughing at John Henry, said you full of vinegar now, but you bout through, were gonna get a steam drill to do your share of drivin, then what's all them muscles gonna do, huh John Henry, gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you

John Henry said I feed four little brothers, and my baby sister's walking on her knees, did the Lord say that machines ought to take the place of living, and what's a subsitute for bread and beans, I ain't seen it, do engines get rewarded for their steam?
