That still doesn't contradict their point about decentralization. When the panels need replacing you replace them from whichever suppliers are available at the time and then you're good for another 20-30 years. If you're hooked up to the grid then you owe a specific entity money every month.
This is not the first time they have shrunk their product.

They did the same thing after the 2008 banking crisis.

I would say let them do it if they want, it is their business to make those decisions.

But I would like to have an independent group that looks into all the additives in processed foods. Far too many things allowed in food in the US is banned in Europe.
> The service is specifically for non-average users who want to maximize privacy.

That I think is a pretty small sliver of Proton users. Users who want to maximize privacy are certainly there, but I think most simply want a stable email provider that respects customer preferences instead of Google shenanigans. My 2c.

For example, I am a happy, paying Proton customer for my primary email that clearly identifies me by its domain.
I agree that greedflation is very much a thing. When many competitors do this, it makes it easier for others to do the same.

However, I find it frustrating that so many articles, economists and the government consistently fail to mention the primary proximate cause for inflation.

Namely, the simple fact that 80% of all the dollars ever created were created in the most recent 4 years.

In my opinion inflation is a misnomer. It would be more accurate to call it dilution of the purchasing power of the dollar aka grand theft by central bankers.
> why?

Safety and security. A small boat can be a threat and cause damage to a larger boat if you let it get close enough. Small boats can easily capsize if they get too close to a larger boat.
greedflation is real. It’s real because of competition drying up. Lina Khan is either incompetent or corrupt or both.

The more consolidation we have at the top, the more power they have to raise their prices without consequences.
We’ve had higher inflation over the last few years that’s affected prices and salaries. That’s not in question at all. That money printer has hardly cooled down.

Do you want to provide the same labor at the same price so your company doesn’t have to raise prices?
Will graphics cards eventually get renamed?

Seeing the discourse around OSS contributions reminds me how inexperienced and naive our industry is. We should invest heavily in teaching grads not just how to code, but how to manage relationships, build trust with your peers and above all; communicate effectively.

Look at this PR and you’ll see a person who sacrificed their personal time to implement a highly requested feature.

The company sees a person they’ve never interacted with, send a large PR without asking, implementing a feature that undermines their Enterprise tier, for which they now need to allocate resource to get it reviewed, revised and integrated.
No. It's up to contributors to set expectations about the work they do with the project maintainer before they do it if they have any wish to see it merged.

You were given something for free. That doesnt confer any rights, legal, moral or otherwise.

Drive by pull requests are not always welcome for any number of reasons which are the sole prerogative of the project maintainers who owe you nothing.

PRs are even worse when theyre big. If you do a large PR without informing anyone you should expect by default for it to be ignored.
Most taxpayers don't have cystic fibrosis and hence don't want to pay to have it cured. Not feasible. This hypothetical is kind of lame.
It's really a culture. People smoke cannabis to feel part of a clan or a cult, and then get hooked to the psychoactive effects.

It's always a game of social influence at the beginning, and sometimes later on.

Eventually, you may be pushed to smoke if you want to feel part of a social group and culture, and then, once inside, you have to follow the codes of it.

A large part of the cannabis cult(ure) is to preach the substance to everybody around you, to get it depenalized, legalized, and want everybody to have good views on it so they can take it more in public, and be socially more accepted, not considered like a junkie.

The end-game of it, is to do everything to get more of it, consciously or not.

Then, from that perspective, now you have someone that asks you: "is cannabis good for you ?" (just in other words).

Your goal to consume cheaper and higher quality of the substance, without legal risks, and to have approval of your friends, then what do you say ?

Of course "yes it's great".

There is also a survivorship bias in the study: once you feel that your cognitive abilities decline, you typically stop smoking cannabis.

The extreme case: people with dementia are automatically excluded because they cannot even smoke or purchase the product.
> draconian punishments for CEOs

How is expecting the person who is responsible for the outcome of the company to be responsible draconian?

If I kill someone, I am responsible. If I direct someone else to kill someone, we’re both responsible to different degrees. If I create an elaborate structure wherein the lower levels are inculcated that killing people is just part of the job, the responsibility starts dramatically shifting upwards.
You not a food scientist but definitely an expert in making assumptions. To make your own meals you need to know how to cook and be able to afford the stuff. If you don't have the fortunate upbringing to learn how to cook you need to find time and be prepared to spend what little money you have on potential straight to the garbage experiments. That's not going to happen for a lot of people just because you don't risk throwing away time AND money. Sure, well cooked budgeted meals are an amazing way to save money and eat well. It just isn't that simple to come by.
You could compromise by allowing a doctor to sign off if they feel the expected benefits outway the costs. That would put up a barrier for useless treatments but leave the door open for people to try stuff without 10 years of beaucracy.
It’s already possible. I can’t find the thread now, but I saw a demo on X recently where they had an LLM hooked up to a text field where every character typed was sent to the LLM immediately so that it could anticipate responses and do some planning ahead of time. You’re basically talking about the same thing except for the fact that one of the possible outputs for the LLM is an interrupt function call.

1. Continuously read user input.

2. Constantly predict a few tokens ahead.

3. When the predicted text includes the computer's prompt, respond with that, without waiting for the user to push enter.

Probably also

One person did that. It's not like there is a trend.

Just to add context to the headline.
The user you are replying to doesn’t live in the USA. And for non-US citizens, not doing anything a US three-letter agency might take an interest in is certainly a consideration, because US law doesn’t protect them. (I’m not sure how much better the situation is for US citizens in actual practice.)

You're completely right, though obviously they didn't lock it because it was "too heated" despite what they wrote. They locked it because people were writing negative comments about them.

Frankly I think they're totally justified in this. They need to eat. The things they should have done differently are:

1. Confront the issue at the start rather than waiting months and just hoping it would go away.

2. Less bullshit corporate speak response. They could have been honest that they didn't want to give this away for free otherwise they'd go out of business, and that it's open source so the author is free to maintain their patch/fork if they want. Most reasonable people would understand this. "It doesn't align with our vision" is just vomit-inducing weaseling.

Far from me to defend DRM (which ought to be illegal), but a major reason why it's more prevalent in movies and books compared to songs and video games is likely because for the first ones they are typically only enjoyed once.

Ethics should be considered at all times. So if by putting your head down at work to just work you mean turning a blind eye to ethics I dont care to preserve that right.
You got my curiosity going so I went for the experiment again. It turns out my example is still very much valid. It's still not able to do basic work with the Gio package despite great documentation from the Gio folks, if you ask me.

In this case, the LLM is struggling to version match.

https://chat.openai.com/share/d5e39e52-9140-4f74-9fef-04fc34...

I cut this one short because I'm not that interested to go 40 questions again. I have better things to do and I have already seen the outcome.

It's clear the LLM is working as intended, which is neither for programming, nor for problem solving. It's giving the next most probable response. That's truly great for repeating and reintegrating existing solutions. But repeating is not what's needed for the "kill all humans" scenario. That scenario requires outreasoning humans. Processing power is not remotely the issue. I've never seen a theoretical solution that purports to give a machine the ability to actually reason, and because of that, I don't believe that ChatGPT, or any other LLM, even begins to approach "intelligence."

If you are having success with it, I think it's because you're helping it more than you'd like to admit, or your solutions might not be as novel as you think. Probably the prior, but I must admit, I've wrongly thought I was working on new stuff many times before. I think that's more common than we think. Or at least I'd like to think that so I can feel good about myself.

In any case, I won't be hiring ChatGPT or parrots; and for the same reason. I need developers that can follow directions, solve problems in better ways than what is readily available, and do it faster than my competitors. And I'm not even in some cutting edge business, I'm just building integrations, specifically in the manufacturing and distribution industry. Even in something so mundane, I've hardly found ChatGPT to be truly useful for much more than a GitHub search tool, and to suggest cocktails when my liquor selection runs scarce.

Worth $20? Sure. But it's certainly not scaring me.
I thought arxiv is where people publish research papers or scholarly articles, I didn't know you could do things like this? Does this mean anyone can publish opinion pieces and humour too (ie, something that I'd normally see as a blog post)?

can you get the email search solved easily than having it on protonmail?
Your example shows taking a subset of a text node and wrapping in a tag. How many XML languages use this quality? The only ones I've ever worked with go to great lengths to not mix text nodes with other children nodes. And it's easy to see why such usage is considered poor practice: if you're making a language, you generally want more structure, not less.

I'm not familiar with the distinction between 'markup languages' and 'data languages'. Ignoring the text/structured mixing issue, which I think is vestigial in XML and unused in DSLs, these are all isomorphic to each other and can nest data inside of data in a similar way:

<person>

> just wishing it would disappear of its own accord?

Almost certainly. I see people sometimes closing PRs when they get no response from project maintainers. They must have hoped that would happen. Or at least that it would stay open and mostly unnoticed, avoiding this sort of negative publicity.
Well I hope to God the Enterprise code looks nothing like the pull request..
I don't think of that as covering "most canned foods", though. Most canned foods are pretty ordinary canned foods, and aren't highly processed.
It is the consequence of many developers not wanting to pay for the tools that make their job possible in first place.

So it is either full commercial, SaaS (not applicable to every kind of software), or open core.

Consulting only works when users are willing to pay for support, instead of sorting out by themselves during long nights and rainy weekends.
It's not just the safety and health of customers and the public that the modern executives don't seem to care about. I work in the CPI and process/employee safety has started to take a back seat to DEI and environmental concerns (to be sure, fair hiring practices and environmental stewardship are great goals to have, but not to the detriment of a safe workplace.)

Stock buybacks take precedence over spending on safety improvements, and reduction in working capital (finished product) to appease the bean counters results in missed sales when the inevitable process upset occurs and there is no surge capacity.

The term "Greedflation" is the stupidest thing to come out of the last couple years and is pure propaganda. It's a misunderstand of cause and effect. It's pushing blame for a problem the government created onto companies for not just eating the loss. It's absurd.

The economy was mismanaged and we had a massive spike in inflation. Your costs went up, businesses costs went up. Everyone's did. To maintain their business they are forced to raise their prices or shrink their product. Blaming inflation on "greed" is literally scapegoating.

The idea that businesses should keep their prices the same in spite of dwindling profit margins is just silly.

Proton Mail is a zero knowledge service and the whole point of zero knowledge is to protect yourself against court orders.

Hence I think it's pretty clear for ZK customers that a company has to abide to the local law...

The article is about what Proton knows, not what they will or will not do if the law knocks on their door.
There was a bomb threat email sent by one of the proton mail users to South Indian state’s TN, some weeks ago.
There was a big turmoil in 4-5 different schools in the city. Until the time they realised it to be a fake threat it was a nightmare. Some of my relatives were directly affected.

> find it faster than a local filesystem for many benchmarks.

What did you measure? How did you compare? This claim seems very contrary to my experience and understanding of how things work...

Let me refine the question: did you measure metadata or data operations? What kind of storage medium is used by the filesystem you use? How much memory (and subsequently the filesystem cache) does your system have?

----

The thing is: you should expect, in the best case, something like 5 ms latency on network calls over the Internet in an ideal case. Within the datacenter, maybe you can achieve sub-ms latency, but that's hard. AWS within region but different zones tends to be around 1 ms latency.

This is while NVMe latency, even on consumer products, is 10-20 micro seconds. I.e. we are talking about roughly 100 times faster than anything going through the network can offer.
Expecting it to be merged of course!

If they think theyve built something better theyre always free to fork the original. If they dont want to put the legwork in and have expectations that somebody else should maintain their code anyway, they should fuck off.

Yes but CF affects all liquids in your whole body. You can get diffuse long term damage anywhere and everywhere in your body. Having to eat calorie amounts like someone without CF sounds like a good tradeoff in order to not risk this damage.
I've recently switched from BasalIQ to ControlIQ on the X2. I very rarely feel like I'm on a "closed loop system". It's super conservative and left to itself it consistently keeps me higher than I'd like. With BasalIQ I could at least set up a low-enough target BG (5.0 mmol), now I'm stuck with 6.1 and the pump is actually happy to leave me at 7-9 mmol for hours, with very feeble interventions.

Long story short, I'm planning to buy a few boxes of Omnipod Dash pods, in a country where I can do so, out of my own pocket – so that I can try iAPS. #WeAreNotWaiting and all that :)

BTW Nightscout should not be required for Loop nor iAPS.
There is an alternative universe where Scott G. McNealy has a backbone and doesn't stop participating in BSD development.

Sun almost up-streamed NeWS, and they did a ton of other stuff that should have continue to go into BSD. Driven by Sun as the primary BSD advocate, BSD would have dominated being both open and with a powerful backer.

Sun really had the largest unix mind-share and most application were targeted at Sun workstations. Eventually this resulted in the Unix wars because lots of people were afraid of Sun/AT&T.

Sun could have avoid that and simply made itself and BSD the standard. If that standard was open, there wouldn't have formed a powerful alliance against them. AT&T would still have tried but non-open alliance lead by AT&T wouldn't work out well.

But because of a bunch of lawyers and eventually one bad quarter, Sun went full out proprietary and joined itself to AT&T.

The above comment is most on target. It's not about keeping up with inflation. It's not about carbs being unhealthy. It's about greed and positioning an expensive, deceptively packaged, heavily promoted product that buys shelf placement to drive out competitors as somehow sympathetic to people who can't afford better food. That's just ghoulish. Is having a responsibility to shareholders an excuse for ghoulishness? I'll leave it at that.

That's not why SSO is always in the enterprise version. It's not that the authors don't care about security, it's that only enterprises care about SSO.

That makes it a really good feature to withhold in order to force enterprises to pay, without significantly affecting individuals who want to use it.

(Standard HN disclaimer: when someone says "only this" or "everybody" or "nobody" in normal speech they don't mean literally nobody. You aren't proving me wrong by saying "ackshewally I use SSO and I'm not an enterprise".)
