I've come to believe that there's a place for the more accessible enjoyment of the outdoors that the via ferrata seems to represent. Every park represents a different place on the spectrum of accessibility vs true wilderness -- from Manhattan's Central Park (millions of visitors of all types, requiring hard paths, railings etc) to Denali National Park (other than the road, limited to very small dispersed groups, kept few enough that it can remain a "trackless wilderness").

I don't begrudge someone who is not a very skilled climber their use of a via ferrata, provided that impact to the area (e.g. sightlines) is kept to a minimum and other options for more purists remain. I'm not a climber per se but this is the same attitude I have towards hiking, skiing, mountain biking, etc. I'm careful not to gate-keep casual folks using the Mt Washington cog railway because they get a lot of enjoyment out of it and it's a small blip in my Prezzie Traverse -- if carefully managed, there's enough nature for everyone.
intra EU bank transfers cost much less than 1-3%.
The fear of low-profitability is what drives that behavior, though. You're right that the DMA/DSA threatens Apple's bottom line, but as long as Apple continues to sell iPhone hardware in Europe then they should be turning a profit on hardware margins alone. Apple wants the control at any cost, and it's going to encourage more countries to draft even stronger legislation.
I don’t know. Safe rust has 0 UB although if I recall correctly things are still a bit messy with integer overflow. I could imagine a world where we define annotations around “signed integer will never overflow” that you can add to hit paths but otherwise disallow optimizing around that UB and for all other UB require an explicit annotation acknowledging it or just a warning and a missed optimization instead.

The current status quo is not the best.
This is the etymology of computer logs.
Captain's log is short for logbook

> The book so called because it recorded the speed measurements made by means of a weighted chip of a tree log on the end of a reeled log line (typically 150 to 200 fathoms). The log lay dead in the water, and sailors counted the time it took the line to play out. The line was marked by different numbers of knots, or colored rags, tied at regular intervals; hence the nautical measurement sense of knot

I'm not at all clear on what a "not for profit" status even does, tax wise. In any jurisdiction.

They are still able to actually make a profit (and quite often will, because careful balancing of perfect profit and loss is almost impossible and loss is bad), and I thought those profits were still taxed because otherwise that's too obvious as a tax dodge, it's just that profit isn't their main goal?
There is also another survival bias factor.

I am not sure what the value of this. It's having a subset of the npmjs registry as it's only for ESM-only packages.

Yes! As a victim several times of "nitpickers" on posts I've replied to on different sites, it's absolutely bonkers how far they will go to prove a point that wasn't ever brought up.

Given FT had no financial interest in wirecard I’m not sure it’s insider trading? Breach of the code of conduct of FT and basic journalistic ethics of course, but using investigators to find out bad things about companies and using that information to trade is pretty normal and not insider trading
horizontal scaling however provides you with more aggregate network bandwidth. Most enterprises run workloads that downloads data from a data lake (usually S3), which is usually the bottleneck. Having horizontal scaling here allows the query leverage much higher network than just having a large single machine.
This is the nonsense you get for inexperienced and jr devs.

Let's take a look at the pandemic. The government was handing out free money. People were stuck at home. Why did big tech hire every bit of talent that applied and let them do nothing for two years?

The same reason that they over hire now, and have dumb roles like "button engineers". The same reason why experienced FAANG engineers leave and build bloated systems with more servers (and problems) than users.

The strategy is one to abort competition. To soften potential competitors with cushy jobs and stupid pay days. TO indoctrinate them into a way of building and thinking that isnt wholly compatible with startups.

What happens when these processes misfire. You get what's app. 30 engineers and 30 servers at the time FB bought them (or some stupidly low number, I'm close). Your average post FAANG engineer would have 2 dozen people running kafka and kuberneties with a multi million dollar cloud spend and have given most of the company away to VC's.

Am I suggesting there is a cabal? No, this is the 'natural order' and has been going on since Edison. The distinction is one of nuance. If you have the stomach for risk it is even easier to succeed now than it was in Edisons time (software isnt physical goods and hardware, its application not creation).

Edit: peter thiel 100k dropout offer is likely an overt example of this idea put into action.
I think you're reading too much into it lol

I think a more likely interpretation is that a lot of people here are Musk fans, and don't like it when he gets criticized, thus downvoting your comment

> Being a 501 (c) isn’t some shield that means any behavior is permitted.

Its pretty much—especially a 501c3—the opposite, a substantial set of restrictions in behavior, on top of those which would face an organization doing similar things that was not a 501c3.
It would be hard to get investors though. Non-profits can only take donations and not investment. So you would have to develop your IP using your own funds. Plus, most companies are loss making in the early years so it is actually more tax-efficient to have an entity that can recognize those losses for tax purposes and offset them against future losses.
I don't think that's very likely at all! But I suppose we'll see.

For a good point of comparison, until 2015, when public scrutiny led them to decide to change it, the NFL operated as a nonprofit, with the teams operating as for-profits. Other sports leagues continue to have that structure.
"I declare safety!"

You cannot abandon your non-profit's entire mission on a highly hypothetical, controversial pretext. Moreover, they've released virtually no harmless details on GPT-4, yet let anyone use GPT-4 (such safety!), and haven't even released GPT-3, a model with far fewer capabilities than many open-source alternatives. (None of which have ended the world! What a surprise!)

They plainly wish to make a private cash cow atop non-profit donations to an open cause. They hit upon wild success, and want to keep it for themselves; this is precisely the opposite of their mission. It's morally, and hopefully legally, unacceptable.
I suppose the same forces that usually prevent a move from a 5 day week up to a 6 day week: it's unpopular and counterproductive. But I wouldn't be opposed to a 4 day week being privileged in law somehow.
It's a thread about OpenAI. Some people seem to spend their days looking for ways to make every thread about their angst over Musk purchasing Twitter and will shove it into any conversation they can without regard of its applicability to the thread's subject. Tangent conversations happen but they get tedious after a while when they're motivated by anger and the same ones pop up constantly. Yes, the thread is about Musk, that doesn't mean his taste in music should be part of the conversation any more than some additional whining about him buying Twitter should be.
What would be a better, i.e. more accurate and neutral title? We can change it.

Edit: I changed it to "I accidentally deleted a bad game revision from MAME" for now - is that accurate enough?

It seems like he's talked a lot about the T in LGBTQ, not so much the G? Evidence that he would be especially incensed at getting beat by a gay guy seems thin on the ground unless we insist on treating LGBTQ as a bloc.

Hi, thanks!

In that sentence I was only talking about the translations and rotations of the plane as a group of invariances for the action of the two-body problem. This group is generated by one-parameter subgroups producing vertical translation, horizontal translation, and rotation about a particular point. Those are the "three degrees of freedom" I was counting.

You're right about the correspondence from symmetries to conservation laws in general.
If you're against crypto, making its operations more efficient would also have a positive environmental impact. Because it looks like it's here to stay.
I've experimented[0] with something along these lines. The basic idea is that it's desirable to be able to reuse snippets/functions across projects, but you shouldn't need to go full left-pad. So basically you run tuplates.py on your project, it goes through all files and any line comment that includes "tuplate_start(URI)" it goes out and fetches the URI (local filesystem or HTTP supported), and replaces everything until it finds a line comment with "tuplate_end". Nice thing is it enables basic templating in any language, and instead of checking templates into source control, you're committing working code. Also combines really nicely with jsdelivr where you can import specific versions of files directly from GitHub.

Will Japan's Population Death Spiral?
This is a huge problem in the US. Tax-payers are subsidizing a lot of medical advances, then the US government gives it to the private sector, privatizing whatever medical advances were paid by tax-dollars.

Socialism seems to create a lot of markets for the Capitalist private sector.
I would like to write a follow-up essay on this.

One genre of reasons is structural. Astronomy is funded in decade-long blocks where almost all the money goes to a mega project like the James Webb. That structure - big decadal chunk - might be partly to blame.

A related reason is historical. Summing images wasn’t possible before digital imaging, which is only about 20 or 25 years old in astronomy. Since funding is decadal, thats actually not many generations of funding, so there haven’t been many chances to focus the community to use the last 5-10 years of tech.

Also, I think - somewhat cynically - that the telescope builders are mostly not software people. To them, building a next-generation mirror or lightweight gimbal system is the interesting challenge worth funding, not software stacks for combining images.

Another possible reason is fixed costs: cooling, the enclosure, and site costs like power and road access would be paid redundantly.

But overall, I have not found much disagreement when discussing this with actual astronomers (mostly at the University of Washington and Princeton).
Even this comment?
To make sure I understand your business, your software allows vets to offer subscription packages to customers and you handle the recurring payment processing etc?
> Suburbia done well can be great. Not everyone wants to be crowded into cities with noise and crime and no access to nature.

That such a hilarious understanding of 'nature' and 'cities'. I live in a city and I can be in nature very quickly.

In fact, the sprawling nature of suberbia is what destroys the most amount of nature and makes it harder for everybody to access nature.

> Suburbia can still have mixed use areas.

The term 'Suberbia' talkes specifically about US style subburbs and just based on facts, 99% of it simple doesn't allow commercial usage.

Sometimes you have commercial zones next to the R1 zones, but usually the ratio is very small and the distance to the commercial zone is very far for the majority of people. Thus commercial areas are often reached mostly by car.

Mixed use zoning is almost nowhere to be found in most of the US.

The term 'Suberbia' refers to that.

> We had parks and nature preserves and even areas with condos for cheaper housing.

Then it isn't really what is called 'subberbia' at all. Subburbs can be done well, but not subberbia.

And in most places in the US where there is a massive lack of alternative housing options with a vanishingly small part of the total land area allowing anything but low-density residential zoning.

So yes, subburbs can be done well, but if its done well its not called 'subburbia' anymore. And the amount of places where it was done well is incredibly small.
Maybe we're using different definitions of "intangible", but if you can "convert" them to/from profits they're not intangible in my book. I'm thinking donated effort, people they recruited who wouldn't have signed up if then company was for-profit, mainly goodwill related stuff.
How is this any different from, say, a gravel hiking trail? I see plenty of those in state parks all over the place. Makes things far more accessible with a very minimal impact on the overall environment.
I guess "mom-and-pop businesses" are probably not started as charities in the first place in most cases so I don't really get what you are trying to say.
The good thing about AI is that it is substitutable by humans.
Great work everybody. I had people literally laughing at me for helping get the word out, saying that it would be impossible to influence a behemoth like Apple.

This goes to show the power that people have when they get together and fight for a common cause.

But the work isn't done! Keep following OWA for news and ways to keep pressuring Apple and the other tech giants in favour of an open, competitive and capable Web.

I’ve had my eye on this for a while. As a small startup I’ve been using datadog for a while but am hesitant to stay on it due to the expense. I like the idea of self hosting as well as being otel based.
the key thing is that now OpenAI has something of value, they're doing everything they possibly can to benefit private individuals and corporations, i.e. Sam Altman and Microsoft, rather than the public good, which is the express purpose of a non-profit
Is this comparable to Ibis or is it something that would be a backend for it?
JPEG XL is awesome!

One thing I think would help with its adoption, is if they would work with e.g. the libvips team to better implement it.

For example, streaming encoder and streaming decoder would be the preferred integration method in libvips.
Not sure what you mean to imply might happen.
Loop is on a mission to unlock profits trapped in the supply chain (https://loop.com/article/unlock-profit-trapped-in-your-suppl...) and lower costs for consumers. Bad data and inefficient workflows create friction that limits working capital and raises costs for every supply chain stakeholder.

Loop’s modern audit and pay platform uses our domain-driven AI to harness the complexity of supply chain data and documentation. We improve transportation spend visibility so companies can control their costs and power profit. That is why industry leaders like J.P. Morgan Chase, Great Dane, Emerge, and Loadsmart work with Loop.

This is going to be an interesting trial.

Elon has a good case that OpenAI has long diverged from his founding principles.

Sam and his friends can side with Microsoft to build a ClosedAI system like Google/Deepmind and Apple.

There is a place for open research. StabilityAI and Mistral seem to be carrying that torch.

I don’t think SamA is the right leader for OpenAI.

I did a "diff" presentation once, for those bills that are all "$reference of US Code is hereby amended to read $newtext" and otherwise utterly incomprehensible

It was ugly. the references were often inaccurate, the resulting text nonsensical; and the actual fixes happened deep in "conference Committee" work after the bill was passed.

This was in the early days of the Internet when the sources were skinnier and the version of "the US Code" you might find could well be outdated vs what Congress critters were provided with. Or vice versa.

Hopefully the data is more accessible and homogeneous now.
