This is nonsensical for numerous reasons

1. The federal government doesn't have tax revenue. It issues a currency and then taxes go toward countering inflation. The notion that a currency-issuing government needs to "balance its budget" in its own currency is a political fiction. Also, policies that benefit people at the lower end of the income spectrum disproportionately actually move money around in the economy, which generally speaking is less inflationary than allowing it to accumulate in various silos like hedge funds

2. A "negative income tax" doesn't have to require employment. You can make zero dollars in income as a self-employed person, and the self-employed still track their income for taxation purposes

3. There are many unnecessary-to-malicious subsidies and inefficient welfare programs that could easily have their rationale subsumed by UBI, and doing so would save considerable cost that is mostly the overhead of all the means-testing personnel and in some cases (like SNAP) completely separate financial machinery necessary to maintain them

Even setting all that aside, you could make considerably more "tax revenue" by funding the IRS or reversing some of the nakedly corrupt corporate tax breaks that have been created over the last several decades. There always seems to be more money to subsidize artificially lowering the price of certain goods, fund incredibly inefficient private government contractors to do things that once cost considerably less for the government to do itself, fund drug research only to then allow the resulting breakthroughs to be patented by a private firm and then gouge people for treatment, or buy ludicrously expensive weapons for militarized police forces, but propose anything that actually benefits people and suddenly everyone's worried about the costs.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but all this "Well have you considered the cost?" handwringing people do when UBI comes up just drastically misunderstands how governments use money, while claiming to be "responsible" and "realistic"
"open source" has always been a marketing term. It doesn't mean anything because it's never meant anything.

The GNU people fought the good fight on free/libre software, but they lost because companies are greedy and devs are lazy at their day jobs.
It's the other way around. Mega corps are cut off from leeching on open work.

It's the only sustainable way to have business model around open work.

With pure open source licensing you have asymmetry - where a) you guys implement it b) we sell it, thanks - problem. You cannot run sustainable business around it.

As far as I understand it they want to preserve "open sourceness" for self hosted projects - ie. if you run redis in your docker/vm/k8s, you're fine. But if mega corp clouds are offering managed service, they need to give back a cut from premium they're charging end users.
In that case you will have to excuse my conflating this special case with the multitude of other projects the same thing has happened to in the past and will likely continue happening to. I will watch with interest on how the contributors self-organise and prevent the exact same thing happening to whatever fork comes out.
I don't think it was that Intel didn't have enough capacity to manufacture more. Intel was a manufacturing-first company that beat out "high end" and specialized competitors by economies of scale. Over the long term, the strategy was to build as much high performance silicon as possible.

The problem looks like they went down the typical dinosaurification route that their vanquished high end competitors the likes of DEC, Sun, HP, SGI, IBM, etc., which was to switch from manufacturing as much as possible, to protecting high margin x86 parts. Their x86 PC and server organization out-muscled their manufacturing organization (either that or finance did), and so the ended up being very reluctant to adopt GPGPUs or ARM mobile because those were a threat to x86. By the time they realized they'd missed the boat in those markets, they put out these ridiculous x86 mobile cores and x86 GPGPUs that were costly failures.

This pattern of protecting profit margins on high end products while fixed costs every generation increase and performance increases so low end grows up and erodes high end, causing further retreat and protectionism, is exactly what happened with those aforementioned big iron companies. When the bean counters look at the state of things without an understanding of the technology trends, that's the logical thing to do, but they paint themselves into this corner.

Intel might have just been saved by the bell with Dennard scaling breaking down around the time they were losing their manufacturing advantage. That meant that instead of competitors on a generation or two process lead wiping the floor with them as they did to the minicomputers, it was a much smaller disadvantage and they've been able to somewhat hold on.

That's my non-insider take on it anyway.
I had in mind Terraform, Redis, ELK & Linkerd when I wrote this
Glad that helped!

If it serves as a guideline, the calorie tracking app I use has a default serving suggestion of 100-150g, raw, for different meats. So even 2 servings of those, twice a day, would still be around half of 2 of those steaks, which happens to be about what I eat in a day, between chicken and lean beef.

Different things come to mind with the size of those steaks but honestly I would just be assuming things and spouting probable nonsense. If they're packaged raw, I would check if they're heavily injected with water to boost the marketable weight. If it's not cheap meat it's probably not an issue.

Errors that may lead to a thermal runaway: Accidentally shorting a cell. Putting the cell in backwards. Putting a highly charged cell with discarded cells (or vica versa). Using a damaged cell. Any of these can happen rather easily, with potentially disastrous consequences to life and property.
I would argue that all of Vinge's longer works are about Singularitarian disasters. In Tatja we eventually figure out that Tatja herself is arguably the disaster. In Fire it was asleep in the library, and I think in Rainbows there's both Rabbit obviously and the weapon the story focuses on.

You can think of the apparent survival of Rabbit as a hint of doom right at the end, like the fact R's diary is in the slush pile at the end of the Watchmen comic book.

It’s not “open source” now.

Your view on its impact is orthogonal to this reality. People’s view on this reality is orthogonal to its impact

Personally, I’ve grown tired of this debate. Redis is clearly commercial software. None of my “freedoms” rely on redis, the way they might on more core or primitive softwares like Linux, Bash, or a browser. The real (but non-exclusive) value of the invention lies in commercial applications. I’ll bring out my “it’s not OSS” pitchfork when VI or eMacs changes their licenses. I care deeply about open source software, but not all source code matters.

Contributing is a thankless task that benefits people’s profit driven interests. It’s understandable that contributors would like to try for some of that profit, and this doesn’t seem to be too aggressive either. Yea, the relationship changed, because they were “giving it away” prior. But so what, life is full of changes. There is only a handful of organizations this will impact and they’re all rich corporations that don’t need my pity. The project is mature, so most remaining work is likely feature adds required by mega-scale and niche commercial uses cases, that’s just not work people usually do for fun.

Pardon my aggression - it’s rhetorical- but redis doesn’t need to exist in this world. It certainly doesn’t need anyone’s emotions.

The iOS app feels much buggier in the past few weeks. Lockups when returning to the app, phantom pausing, and worst of all, clicking the podcast I’ve been listening to doesn’t take me to the right episode… I have to scroll to find it.

The cost is fiction because it's a tax credit. The money is on both sides of the ledger. If you're making $60,000/year and your pre-credit taxes go up by $12,000 and then you get a $12,000 tax credit, you have paid an additional zero dollars in taxes. If you don't make much money and the government used to pay you a net $10,000 in benefits and now you get a $12,000 UBI and pay $2000 in taxes, that hasn't actually cost any additional money, all it does is convert the needlessly inefficient constellation of benefits into cash.

The "universal" part of a UBI is serving the same purpose as the progressive rate structure in the income tax, i.e. you want an effective rate curve which is higher for the rich than the poor. Which means that you don't need both. What you use instead is a flat tax rate which serves as the de facto "phase out" for the UBI. Except that because it's all in one place, there are no cliffs, and there are no poor people paying higher de facto marginal rates than rich people, and there are no mountains of paperwork to apply for benefits.

Ludic: New framework for Python with seamless Htmx support
I've been working on a lightweight framework called Ludic that focuses on web development using Python, htmx.org, and a somewhat React-like component approach. It leverages Starlette for performance and the latest Python 3.12 typing features.

Interested in feedback!

There are plenty of lovely steel bikes but steel is definitely less common for performance reasons.

It's neither more durable or lighter than frames made of aluminium, titanium or carbon fibre.

For example, a typical frame made of steel will generally be about 1kg heavier than one made of carbon. The forks will 500g heavier. If you scratch or chip the paint steel will corrode.

The claims that steel (or titanium) "feels" better than aluminium or carbon fibre have been thoroughly debunked.

The Young's Modulus of steel tubes used in bike frames ends up almost exactly the same as aluminium or titanium and steel has no "magic" vibration absorbing qualities.

Carbon fibre is the only frame material with any real vibration damping and even that is massively over-hyped compared to an actual shock absorber or even bigger tyres.

If you want to choose a steel frame then it should be because you like the look, it's easy to weld, uses less energy to make or it's cheaper.
Where is this? I googled a bit, and found the game - but using it as a benchmark sounds genious!!
Reddit to list shares at top end of IPO range
> but that raises the question of why Red Hat are writing a new driver

Nvidia's driver cannot be included in the upstream linux as it doesn't follow kernel coding style and code organization, but more importantly it is tightly coupled to a single version of their GSP firmware - they have to be updated at the same time.
Well, failing to launch at a scheduled time and long term general delays are two different aspects of failure from my perspective. One is an inability to meet short term goals, and the other is an inability to meet long term goals. I'd consider it to be akin to something like tactics vs strategy - and both reflect upon a company in different ways.

As for the SpaceX thing, this is just concern trolling. Nobody has any genuine concern about SpaceX's financial stability. This also includes Elon, but I also think he's focused on the longterm - and in such a frame of thought considering black swan events is critical. In the worst case scenario he could take SpaceX public and raise hundreds of billions, but that would also likely greatly imperil their overall mission. There's no money [for now] to be made colonizing Mars, and so making oneself beholden to shareholders in inconducive to progress.

I'd also add that this is even more true when we're comparing them to companies like Boeing. Boeing's already been bailed out at least once, and is extremely dependent on reckless government spending as well as our forever wars. Even right now when we're carrying out multiple wars around the world and dumping massive amounts of money towards Boeing for space missions that they will probably never complete, Boeing's losing about a billion a year. Expressing concern about SpaceX's finances when comparing them against 'that' is something that cannot be considered a realistic concern.
Because they have to do a lot of stuff in userspace
I don't think this is an issue. You can bundle a stripped down runtime with C# binaries. If you want, you can even build it all into a single binary.
The ‘Redis Source Available License 2.0 (RSALv2) Agreement’ is a relatively succinct and human-readable license. Still, I really wish these non-compete licenses would come with a few examples of use cases that are definitively non-infringing, to remedy any uncertainty.

Between this non-compete clause of their license:

> You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version available to third parties as a service or distribute the Software or a Modified version in a manner that makes the functionality of the Software available to third parties.

..and this clarification in their FAQ:

> A “competitive offering” is a product that is sold to third parties, including through paid support arrangements, that is derived from the Redis’ code-base and significantly overlaps the capabilities of a Redis commercial product. For example, this definition would include hosting or embedding Redis as part of a solution that is sold competitively against our commercial versions of Redis (either Redis Enterprise Software or Redis Cloud).

It’s pretty clear that any SaaS product simply using Redis as a dependency for a completely different product (e.g. Discourse) is in the clear. But it would be nice if they could spell that out as an unaffected use case.
The people who coined the term (OSI) gave a definition when they coined the term. That definition is almost universally accepted in the software world. Redis no longer meets that definition.

Just because something is a marketing term doesn't mean its meaningless. You can't sell non free range eggs as "free range" simply because its a marketing term. Etc
That article doesn't look to be up to date with respect to meat fat.

As far as I can tell, the current bad stuff is trans fats (hydrogenated oils), followed by processed meat (preservation like smoking, nitrates, high salt), followed by some uncertainty, maybe high temperature grilling. Meat fat itself is a mixed bag; some good stuff, some bad stuff, some neutral stuff.

You're behind the times:

Classical "bait-and-switch". Bait users and developers with a fully-open and freely-licensed project, wait for it to gain enough market share, then switch the license to a more restrictive one...

In a few days, a clone called "Libredis" or "Freedis" will probably appear that the community and developers will move to.

So yeah, it might be annnoying buit in the long term it won't matter much anymore (same as the company)
Per the article:

> There are several methods for generating immortalised cell lines:

> 1. Isolation from a naturally occurring cancer. This is the original method for generating an immortalised cell line.

Conceptually, there isn't much difference between an immortalized cell line and a tumor cell line, except by definition cancer must have a host. They probably both share features like too many and weirdly shaped mitochondria.

The overall question is still an interesting one intellectually. Would it even be bad for you to eat an actual tumor from a patient? Is there buildup of toxins?

And for lab grown meat, do we really know what the long term impact is of eating pure protein? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning

There is no fat (which normally stores many vitamins), no innervation, no extracellular matrix I presume, no immune system. Who knows if lab grown meat is really a pound for pound nutritional replacement for real meat. There is a difference between "safe to eat" and nutritionally equivalent. And if it's not equivalent, then what other supplements are you supposed to take if you're eating it?

Also, what if there is a viral or fungal outbreak in the lab, what tests are they running? Is it grown in a medical grade facility? How expensive is that? Is it actually worth it long term, or should we just reform how animals are raised?

On the other hand, research should continue, maybe there is the opportunity to engineer lab grown meat to express whatever antigen you want (or remove foreign antigens like sialic acid) and maybe use it as a way to induce tolerance for people with autoimmunity, as a type of food based therapeutic.

That mostly says something about the socio-economic status of the people commenting in here, going to any big Walmart-like store in the Western world most of the bikes for sale there are still made of steel, not of aluminium or other light materials.

Demonstration is a human right. In Germany we have had people who glued their hands onto the Autobahn, big streets in cities and wherever. No one came to the idea of using water cannons.

We have a lot of such actions in here. The only time bad thing happened in the last 15 years was using a water cannon on a very big group demonstrating against the "new" (its old when its finished) train station.

I think, when someone is demonstrating, other should hear what is the reason for, not shoot water on them. No matter it's a camp, glued onto or big demonstrations - there is a reason for this.

This is hyperbole. Intellectual property laws have existed longer than AI, they're being enforced on AI companies. These companies can pay to use the data, just like I would have to pay for server time with those same companies. They are richer than some countries, not students experimenting in a basement.

And don't give me the "nobody lost anything" bullshit argument. I pirate heavily myself but I'm not a hypocrite pretending that I'm not taking something I should've paid for.
You are right - I don't have the details on Amazon's agreements with FOSS projects - have you made them public?

The times when IT department smelled like pizza, sweat, and Mountain Dew lol

To be honest I don't think we'll ever go back to this. The only reason why this existed was that programming was socially unattractive, so developers self-selected to be people with certain personality characteristics. Once the society recognized the importance of IT jobs, it started pumping all sorts of people into the industry. There's no coming back, unless a) programming becomes a bad career choice again or b) all people get the luxury of working jobs that interest them

Western ones don't particularly want that anymore, IMO. It's the pursuit of wealth and power. And by power, an army of robots works just as well as an army of subhuman commoners.

Trump does seem like an old school egomaniac who wants to be loved and rule people and have statues of himself. But his kind isn't so common in the west and he is not well liked by the more typical ones who take the cold, scientific approach to wealth extraction and don't seem to care in the slightest how the commoners view them.
