I agree that the "project size" argument doesn't make much sense, however size as in file size does. There are multiple methods to add support for large binary files in git, but none are great.

With their focus on game developers, I imagine that's one of the primary use cases.
In practice are there any BSL adopters that don't give a usage grant for production use? All those I've encountered only forbid stuff like hosting to compete with the original software creator, not actually using it in production.

He said the convention that doesn't exist was -backslashes-.

Also, intuition is "understanding without conscious reasoning," so remembering a convention IMO counts.

Consider e.g. parental intuition of noticing subconsciously it's too quiet and immediately going to find out what the kids have done.

For UI, consider the floppy disk icon often used for 'save' - it's considered intuitive because the vast majority of users already recognise it without having to think about it, even if they've never had a system with a 3.5" drive themselves.
> Maybe "cloud native" will have a pull for game companies, but I am not so sure. I think a lot of studios would want to self-host.

Cloud native and self-hosting are not mutually exclusive.
You cut the quote a bit short. It goes on to say:

> We take the protection of our intellectual property very seriously

The copyright implication is clear, even if probably it's just being used because copyright complaints are overpowered (right up there with terrorist/pedophile). Their real complaint is "it costs us money".
> Being deceptive about Git's shortcomings

Are they being deceptive? I'm not sure I see it.
LLM Time Capsule part 1
I started a project to snapshot the 10 most popular LLMs from the last six months. As expected, lots of churn, big hype cycles for Llama2 and Mixtral. Mixtral looks like it might stick around though...
It was probably more of a co-evolution as the design of the Internet and Unix solidified, building on earlier established principles. But you can see the same thinking in both designs, the idea of plumbing together simple systems in a flexible way. A very successful approach since both TCP/IP and Unix-like computing are still in use today.
It's going to be very difficult to avoid the 737 MAX going forward. Airlines love these planes because they save fuel and Boeing has a waiting list for them out to 2030. AFAIK you cannot order a new 737 from Boeing that is not a MAX.

The only viable solution is an independent safety board (paid for out of Boeing profits) that supervises every aspect of design and production at Boeing and its contractors until Boeing learns how to build safe airplanes again.
I recently seemed to be causing ChatGPT on GPT-4 to crash/fail, when I challenged it with plotting pixels on an Amstrad CPC (while supporting a hardware-scrolled screen).

As it seemed to get more backed into a corner by complaints and corrections and unable to provide what I wanted, it seemed to get an increased number of broken responses (an error message partway through) or what appeared to be resets (like maybe there was a failure and they'd switched to another server, which adds a couple of line breaks mid-sentence or mid-codeblock).

After a while, I realised that maybe I didn't want to be causing their servers any problems and gave up on the (in any case) fruitless conversation. But it does seem like one can make GPT-4 effectively crash. Or, just as likely, I'm seeing signal in noise.
my favorite was watching people - riding a bike in traffic without a helmet - but wearing a mask (even when not required by law).

> SCCS/RCS -> CVS -> Bitbucket/git/mercurial

You skipped Subversion/SourceForge. People forget but for about 5 if not 10 years, SVN was the biggest SCM in town, next to P4, P4 having more of a hold in the game dev world.
I sounds like you don't value art as the purest form of human expression but you'll never be able to convince others to think like you with logic. For my part I think you fundamentally misunderstand the value of creativity but I know I won't change your mind either.

The cloud is just a crappier version of a datacenter built around the notion that you can make users captive to your services and make them pay hardware for 3 times its price.

Their probabilistic systems appear to use the ip address for anonymous targeting. For example, when you watch YouTube videos using normal browsing mode on one device, it is quite obvious that they influence the Google Ads on other devices in the same household.

That doesn't mean cookies or logs are joined, and the targeting is always anonymous, so it is less precise than when using the cookie ids.

I'm sure the airline had a reason, though at a minimum it wasn't shared with the passengers. In all likelihood that means it wasn't a mechanical issue as those are always shared in my experience.

My best guess was that, given it was the last flight of the day, the airline decided they needed to move planes around differently for the next morning.

Or, git is both very complex and very useful, and a large portion of its users have a poor understanding of git but enough for it to be a useful tool. If you want to do source control (which you do), then you’re investing time into learning git and/or fixing git, or maybe using a project like this.
Same, I even put a Thunderbird "New Message" window on mine just to be extra "attractive". Had an extra keybind for that, just in case I need to take my laptop to a customer.

Overall the "buy treats for the office" rule helped to establish the habit even though I think we never followed through with it. We mostly just told newcomers that this is the rule and they locked their screen as expected. And ofc it turned "Hey, lock your screen!" into "Oh, you want to treat us?" which makes for a more cheerful way to remind people.

If there is no data, why do you believe it's true? What information got you to believe this?
I think code is worthless once it has been created. This is because the cost of copying is zero. You can't copy a house for zero but software yes.

The process of creating the code and solving all those little unseen problems is for what developers are paid.

Hence selling software is so profitable. If you don't sell software, you won't make money with it. Software is not like a physical object in a our shared reality.

The biggest valid concern about FTP is that it’s not encrypted. If you access files through any network that’s being even casually monitored, the monitor gets access to the username and password for you phone’s FTP server.

In my experience, a lot of security-related pushback on HN specifically is because many of us have seen how easy it is to forget that not everyone knows to be careful or how.
Every MAX flying now has had updates made to address the two events captured in those statistics, so those stats capture something different than today’s reality.

Most information in most spaces is noise. Finding the signal in the noise is difficult in every area, and restricting colloquial (or philosophical) discussion because of overlap with a medical field seems rather harsh to me. We need to learn to understand things deeply, not just look at the surface of the issue: instead of "regular literature is mixed in with scientific literature, so this article is bad," maybe we could look at the what the article provides, and use it to draw new conclusions or support our understanding in addition ways. I see many problems in our society, our culture, that I would describe as schizophrenic, as a reflection of human predilections, and this article provides another lens for understanding.

> dont need a printer.

As far as I can tell, printing return shipping labels is the main reason to own a printer these days.

And even those often aren't needed, as UPS will sometimes scan a QR and print the label themselves. Or dropping off Amazon at Whole Foods.

But frequently enough there's no way around it. And if you don't go to an office frequently enough to use that printer, and buy things online (especially clothing) -- you still need one at home.
Agreeing on reliable inflation numbers is a never-ending conversation, but if somebody still believes any official numbers, I think it's fair to simply call those numbers bogus. Saying there is high demand for hospitality sector workers is not true, because they are still the lowest paid workers and would need a huge percentage salary growth before anybody could say there is high demand for them.

If companies were saying there was a huge demand for software engineers and that they were desperate for workers, and then offering $12 per hour salaries, people would laugh. But do and say the same in the hospitality sector, and people somehow take you serious.

haha, your point is taken that democratic guidance will have its problems. The idea I wanted to push though was that even if AI can do all work, people will still have the option to do something that they will find meaningful and important. The attempt was to illustrate a potential counter-narrative to the idea that human existence will become pointless / unnecessary after the advent of advanced AI.
> They would all agree to put the code in the public domain, and they would all just, you know, basically make money by selling scanners. That was the idea.

It's no different than giving away the razors to create demand for, and selling, the blades. Which is necessary in this case with intellectual property in order to overcome the chicken-and-egg problem of competing, non-interoperable standards that don't gain significant market share, no one uses, and thus no one makes money on. A code that can't be read by the scanner you have and a scanner that can't read a code you have is useless.

I don't think they're as small as you're saying. There have been multiple well documented incidents with 737 MAX that have not been with the A320. Maybe you think it's small enough to not worry about, said incidents are enough for me to want to avoid that aircraft entirely. Absolute risk is certainly still low, but I'll take the safer in comparative risk any day there.

Paying attention to planes and risks of other forms of transport are not mutually exclusive.

Very good article! One of the gems from it:

> If you buy an NVIDIA GPU, you do not get a document explaining the instruction set. It, and many other parts of the architecture, are secret. If you want to write code for it and don't want to use NVIDIA's toolchain, you are expected to generate PTX, which is a somewhat portable intermediate language that the NVIDIA drivers can consume. This means that NVIDIA can completely change the instruction set between GPU revisions without breaking your code. In contrast, an x86 CPU is expected to run the original PC DOS (assuming it has BIOS emulation in the firmware) and every OS and every piece of user-space software released for PC platforms since 1978.
Certainly unrelated. And when compared to the biggest competition (Apotti/Epic) it's a shining light of sanity... though some other providers have better user experiences.

So I saw this comment in the most recent comments list (where you don't see the parent). Out of context, it read like a rather creative personal insult.

In context, of course, that isn't what you were saying at all. But as a put-down... I'm keeping it.
In Polsh:

"Robotnik" means *manual* worker. E.g. someone fixing roads, or working in a factory.

"Pracownik" is a generic word for "employee". Can be an office worker or an manual worker.

"Robić" basically means "to do". While "pracować" means "to work". As you can notice one is more formal than another.

"Robota" is a less formal word, something closer to a "gig" (however it also means "work" or "job"). You will probably not find it in written texts. In writing "praca" (work) sounds more formal.

As a bonus, if you are a (manual) worker who complains and makes some not subtle digs about your job, you can say that you "have to go to your kołchoz tomorrow" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkhoz ). As the communist slogan said "work is your second home" after all :)

On a side note, do Czechs really like the polish word "pomidorek"? (Little tomato)

As free beer AOT compilers for Java are commonly available, and as shown on Android since version 5, I doubt special opcodes will matter again.

Ironically when one dives into computer archeology, old Assembly languages are occasionally referred as bytecodes, the reason being that in CISC designs with microcoded CPUs they were already seen that way by hardware teams.

You are right for the pure BSL. I was misremembering because e.g. Hashicorp just give a blanket Additional Use Grant for production use that doesn't compete with the licensed product [1]. MariaDB is a lot less generous, e.g. restricting you to less than three production servers for MaxScale.

So the ability to self-host BSL code depends a lot on the chosen Additional Use Grant. I don't mind Hashicorp's, but the one publicly offered by MariaDB is pretty restricting.

First, don't count on AI being aligned at all. States who are behind in the AI race will increasingly take more and more risks with alignment to catch up. Without a doubt, one if the first use cases of the AI will be as a cyberweapon to hack and disrupt critical systems. If you are in a race to achieve that alignment will be very narrow to begin with.

Regarding the pet vs humans - the main difference is really that the humans are capable of understanding and communicating the long term consequences of AI and unchecked power, which makes them a threat, so it's not a big leap to see where this is heading.
None. I've never seen it in decades. The closest I've seen was a room with 4-6 people in a team and that was the most isolated option. Everything else is open space offices.

Well, it's the only thing we can concern our minds with, since anything we think about falls under the category of "story" as you note by synonymising it with "map" and "theory".

Sure, we can just simply live, and we must, indeed, actually just exist in this world, but it's hard to interpret your comment as anything other than "just stop the mind", which to me doesn't seem particularly productive. You haven't really argued that it's limiting to be deeply concerned with stories, you just say that it's blinding but haven't justified why.

Is it also blinding when a man is deeply concerned with the physical act of eating, or with the act of walking?

It’s interesting that Philip K. Dick’s androids from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and the Replicants from the Blade Runner are way closer to Čapek’s robots than to mechanical humanlike contraptions. All three raise the same question — what is humanity, when you really get down to it?
