Right on. I would also like Apple to decide what books I'm able to read and what foods I can eat, because users having control of these things comes with a risk of security and cost of privacy.

But seriously, if you want a walled garden, that's your right and other people having a choice does not infringe on it.

Fixing hiperinflation is never easy. It's like going on a diet: it's hard to do, but nobody knows a better alternative. And politicians always have the easy binge at hand to solve any problem: printing money.

Being responsible is hard at all times, and the only visible reward you get is the statu quo. But by printing money you get an easy economic spike that will soar your popularity.

Rethink DNS from the F droid app store works pretty well.
That’s kind of stretching the idea of “more structure” to the breaking point, I think. The key is just a string. There is no entry for directories.

> the API implies that common prefixes indicate related objects.

That’s something users do. The API doesn’t imply anything is related.

And prefixes can be anything, not just directories. If you have /some/dir/file.jpg, then you can query using /some/dir/ as a prefix (like a directory!) or you can query using /so as a prefix, or /some/dir/fil as a prefix. It’s just a string. It only looks like a directory when you, the user, decide to interpret the / in the file key as a directory separator. You could just as easily use any other character.

Yeah it kinda puts the article in a different light. It is also is worded in a way that sounds like she was actually painting on canvas, which doesn’t seem to be the case as I understand.

„She immediately began painting. She had no training in art. But her hands just knew what to do. “It was fulfilling to connect line and form. I let things be guided by intuition,” she says. Two hours later, the canvas was covered in splotches of teal, brown, and orange. She titled her first piece “Blobs and Boomerangs.”
We will never know but it is a fascinating topic and interesting to read all the speculation, the one thing tying the dimensions to climate is wild that anyone even thought to investigate.
The Amish aren't really about rejecting technology just to be luddites, but rather to about trying to preserve their traditions and culture. One of the ways they do that is to avoid adopting new things (technologies, processes, etc) until the community leadership agrees to it. There are Amish that have cars, electricity and computers because their communities have determined that those technologies are acceptable in certain situations and allowed them.

Seen that way, electric bikes may not be a big change from the regular bikes some communities already allow for transportation. Appearance is a very significant part of Amish culture though, and changing those norms just to fit a technology is exactly what they don't want to do.
surely, the user will be taught to enable the hardware for video if they start seeing stutter. Or the browser can prompt the user to switch to "high-end graphics" if it detects prolonged video decoding.

If a website that has no obvious case for using the GPU, but is instead using it to fingerprint, then the user won't experience any slow downs from a software renderer (as it is usually done relatively quickly).

If a website needs the GPU for their videos/graphics, but also incidentally wants to fingerprint you, you're shit out of luck in that case. But this is no worse than what we have current day.
S3 is a key value store. Just happens to be able to store really large values.
But what did he think of Gormenghast?
Right about what?
That's after the sudden surge a few months ago.

The problem the diet analogy is that people neither die nor sink into poverty after a few months of reduced caloric intake.
It's not just "unpleasant", long running companies die, people on the ends of the spectrum fall into starvation. You don't easily recover from that.

Suffocating the private sector is not a long term policy. It's shooting yourself in the foot.

S3 doesn’t have that abstraction.

The console UI shows folders but they don’t actually exist in S3. They’re made up by the UI.
Humans are the exception. Most animals return home as it gets dark. That is the natural pattern, something we are all primed via evolution. Your personal preference to get more light in the evening because you want to spend more time outdoors runs against evolutionary instincts.

Fun experiment I made with my mum, building a storage independent dropbox like UI [1] for anything that implement this interface:

type IBackend interface {

Cat(path string) (io.ReadCloser, error)
Mkdir(path string) error
Rm(path string) error
Mv(from string, to string) error
Save(path string, file io.Reader) error
Touch(path string) error
}

My mum really couldn't care less about the posix semantic as soon as she can see the pictures of my kid which happen to be on S3

I thought of this quote from the PBS documentary Commanding Heights

LESZEK BALCEROWICZ, Finance Minister, Poland, 1989-1991: Just after breakthrough, there is a short period, a period of extraordinary politics. By definition, people are ready to accept more radical solutions because they are pretty euphoric of freshly regained freedom. One could use it only in one way, by moving forward very, very quickly.

JOSEPH STANISLAW: Poland decided to do what Bolivia did, to introduce shock therapy, cut back on government expenditure and try and introduce a market system and see if it could work.

NARRATOR: Prices almost doubled, and shortages didn't end. All Balcerowicz could do was chew his nails and wait for the law of supply and demand to kick in. But then, after a few days, farmers began to bring their produce to market.

LESZEK BALCEROWICZ: I was going for a walk, and we were looking at the prices in the shops, the prices of eggs.

NARRATOR: His aides told him to concentrate on the price of eggs. If eggs appeared, if eggs got cheaper, the market would be working. Eggs did appear. And then the price of eggs began to fall.

LESZEK BALCEROWICZ: And I remember that very important day when the prices of eggs are falling. This was one of the signals that the program, the stabilization program, is working.

I wonder if this change is economically driven: if electric vehicles and tools allow Amish to produce more, then their churches benefit from higher tithes.
I think the key thing to remember is that they aren't trying to find loopholes or focused on the letter of the law with these decisions.

The rules they have are for practical reasons (whether you agree or disagree with them). It isn't as important to them whether it is perfectly consistent with the letter of the law as whether it fits with the purpose of the rule in the first place.
From what little I know about the topic, the Amish are careful to only allow the change that doesn't threaten their culture. So they might have no problem with renewable energy (they have been using wind to pump water for a long time), but they might have a problem with connecting to the regular electrical grid and becoming dependent on it.
you would not be able to build computers if you did not have advanced math concepts in the first place and a bunch of engineering knowhow as well.
The overpowering of the inverters is just an area efficient trick to make gates (the so-called wired-OR or wired-AND).

The SRAM memory cells are simpler than flip flops, they are just S-R latches (i.e. equivalent with a half of an M-S flip-flop) made from two gates (either NAND or NOR).

In any technology where static gates are possible SRAM memories are also possible.

However there are technologies where only dynamic gates are possible, i.e. gates that provide an output that is valid only during a clock pulse and which cannot remain valid indefinitely. Only in such technologies you cannot make SRAMs, but you can still make dynamic memories, which must consume energy all the time, for refreshing their content.

All the "analog magic" that you mention has only the purpose of making an SRAM array much denser than when implemented with the standard gates of a technology, but an implementation with standard gates is always possible and it may be chosen for certain register files, where high speed may be more important than the occupied area.
The article says that the main cause of poverty is the rising of prices, which is precisely Milei's obsession. There is no indication in the article as to how his policies are going to stall, or am I missing something? I'd agree nevertheless that if he fails to bring prices under control, his government is going to be considered an utter failure.
Thank you, now I understand what the special 0-byte object refers to. It represents an empty folder.

Fair enough, basing folders on object names split by / is pretty inefficient. I wonder why they didn't go with a solution like git's trees.
I see you getting downvotes, but you’re speaking the honest truth, here.
Jobs like this make me think of the opening scene from "The Republic". Socrates asks a rich man what's the best part about being rich. The rich man says that it's because he's never had to be a bad person to make money. Sometimes virtuousness is a luxury that only the rich can afford.

The Amish view of technology is a bit more nuanced than "modern technology bad". Generally, technology needs to have a legitimate purpose for the community in order to be adopted. So a grid connection would be bad as it's a connection to the outside world, and electricity on tap would encourage vices like television. But battery power, or solar power, where the purpose is simply to power your tools to make your work more efficient is acceptable. Were people to start hooking up smartphones to the solar panels and posting videos on TikTok, the opinion about the technology might change.
I talked to people at AWS who work in RDS Aurora and they hinted they use S3 internally as a backend for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

The article is well written, but I am annoyed at the attempt to gatekeep the definition of a filesystem.

Like literally any abstraction out there, filesystems are associated with a multitude of possible approaches with conceptually different semantics. It's a bit sophistic to say that Postgres cannot be run on S3 because S3 is not a filesystem; a better choice would have been to explore the underlying assumptions; (I suspect latency would kill the hypothetical use case of Postgres over S3 even if S3 had incorporated the necessary API semantics - could somebody more knowledgeable chime in?).

A more interesting venue to pursue would be - what other additions could be made to the S3 API to make it more usable on its own right - for example, why doesn't S3 offer more than one filename per blob? (e.g., a similar to what links do in POSIX)
I'm speculating here, but utility electricity involves a continuous billing relationship and dependence on an entity that most certainly does not share their values.
Which is what? Not being dependent on an electrical grid?
One operation where this difference is significant is renaming a "folder". In UNIX (and even UNIX-y distributed filesystems like HDFS) a rename operation at "folder" level is O(1) as it only involves metadata changes. In S3, renaming a "folder" is O(number of files).
I really don’t see how this can come up with more than a few thousand unique combinations. Browser type x browser version x os version x accelerator version x … what else? That doesn’t seem like enough variation to create anything remotely unique. I don’t get it.
Let’s start with the fact that you’re talking to an HTTP api… Even if S3 had web3.0 inodes, the querying semantics would not make sense. It’s a higher level API, because you don’t deal with blocks of magnetic storage and binary buffers. Of course s3 is not a filesystem, that is part of its definition, and reason to be…
Very interesting. I doubt you'd need to convince many Poles today that a market economy - with its shortcomings and all - is better than a centralized one.
> Fair enough, basing folders on object names split by / is pretty inefficient. I wonder why they didn't go with a solution like git's trees.

What, exactly, is inefficient about it?

Think for a moment about the data structures you would use to represent a directory structure in a filesystem, and the data structures you would use to represent a key/value store.

With a filesystem, if you split a string /some/dir/file.jpg into three parts, “some”, “dir”, “file.jpg”, then you are actually making a decision about the tree structure. And here’s a question—is that a balanced tree you got there? Maybe it’s completely unbalanced! That’s actually inefficient.

Let’s suppose, instead, you treat the key as a plain string and stick it in a tree. You have a lot of freedom now, in how you balance the tree, since you are not forced to stick nodes in the tree at every / character.

It’s just a different efficiency tradeoff. Certain operations are now much less efficient (like “rename a directory” which, on S3, is actually “copy a zillion objects). Some operations are more efficient, like “store a file” or “retrieve a file”.
I grew up with Orthodox Judaism and wrote my Bar Mitzva speech on Jewish law governing the usage of electricity on Shabbat. It was a surprising endeavor through "well this was only valid back when vacuum tubes were used" and turned into "the rabbis who wrote the original responsa wrote absolute responsa, and now we respect their decisions". Now, the Orthodox community makes it a point of pride that they "disconnect" on Shabbat, in spite of the fact that it is not part of the list of the 39 Labors that are forbidden on Shabbat, and in spite of other parts of Jewish law about not introducing new restrictions over time.

When discussing religious matters - even when there's supposed to be some kind of logic involved, really, underneath, these are emotional decisions. Today it is simply a part of how a community defines itself. A local community makes these decisions together, or not at all, or individual members leave. I imagine Amish communities are similar.

Reducing things to basically the interface you laid out is the point of 9p [1], and is what Plan 9’s UNIX-but-distributed design was built on top of. Same inventor as Go!

According to the article, they are feeding the DC current straight from the solar panels to the electrolyzers. They don't need transformers.
The analogy is exactly the opposite. Argentina has been getting beat by idiotic populist policy forever. Milei is taking a hands-off approach, which will let the economic fiction disappear. Yes, that will send many people into poverty, but the reality is that Argentina is a poor country and cannot provide high standards if living for everyone.
It sounds like they have that abstraction in the UI. But if the CLI and API don't have it too, that's weird.
> Funny to me that they’d pay grad students instead of using AI to summarize.

It's not grad students, it's graduates. There is/was an oversupply of law school graduates, so many can't find better legal work than document review (with no chance of advancement).

Also, my knowledge of this is somewhat old, so they may use more technology for stuff like this, though I doubt they use much "AI."
I think if you focus too narrowly on the details of the wire protocol, you’ll lose sight of the big picture and the semantics.

S3 is not a filesystem because the semantics are different from the kind of semantics we expect from filesystems. You can’t take the high-level API provided by a filesystem, use S3 as the backing storage, and expect to get good performance out of it unless you use a ton of translation.

Stuff like NFS or CIFS are filesystems. They behave like filesystems, in practice. You can rename files. You can modify files. You can create directories.

This is a topic I really just don't understand. I've seen dozens and dozens of articles about it in the last couple of years. The only two possibilities I see are either

1) people actually care about this issue, an issue which I've never in my life given one picogram of thought about, it doesn't affect me in the slightest - twice a year we adjust the clocks by an hour, how does this actually bother a significant chunk of people enough to be upset over it?

or 2) the articles are some sort of long-running propaganda campaign pushing the idea for some reason, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they'd gain from it. Is there some sort of political/social power to be gained from getting rid of daylight saving time? Maybe just another "us vs them" divisive issue? I just can't understand it.
This is a common misconception about the Amish and other plain people, eg stricter Mennonites. They don’t have a universally agreed about set of rules. Each community sets its rules differently. Most Amish don’t reject technology wholesale they slowly evaluate individual technologies for what effects they would have on the tight knittedness of their community and closeness to god. For example most Amish places of business have electricity, battery powered lights are common as well as gas powered fridges. They generally don’t reject modern medicine. However, they generally don’t have electricity at home because they don’t want to be reliant on the grid at large. If and how much solar and wind power are adopted in Amish communities will be an interesting thing to observe over the next decade or two.

Now there are some communities who reject all power that doesn’t come from “gods creatures” and will reject e bikes and stick to push scooters and buggies. But e bikes totally fit in a lot of Amish and plain communities.
