This is all contingent on four things you haven't told us: cost, how often you expect to access it, your threat models and risk tolerance for each of those threats, and what infrastructure you have access to (aka how safe is your home, can you store a backup safely with your parents, can you store drives in a lockable private office at work safely?)

For example, if your house burns down, it doesn't matter if you have 10 mirrored copies of the same 8 TiB drive in the same room. If your parents get a new housekeeper who goes on a cleaning spree, it doesn't matter if you have 10 mirrored copies of the same 8 TiB drive in the same shoebox.
I've never done that many but rclone is famous (imo reliable) and very cross platform. It also supports an encryption layer it controls over top of generic cloud providers

So I've been enjoying b2 (as an example, you can Fuse mount to browse the files without downloading). But just for backup don't Amazon glacier or Google cloud archive is so so cheap. If you wanted to be paranoid you could do both separately

I haven't independently audited rclone's encryption layer
I think you would also benefit from asking on reddit r/datahoarders.
First time hearing about backblaze

The pricing looks too good to be true. What’s the catch?
I think they deprecated the old keyboard shortcuts, had to set mine up fresh. The missing panels is crazy though! Have you tried setting them up from scratch? Ive found it only takes a few minutes to get a nice usable setup (the default panel is great). I'm also sticking to X11 for the foreseeable future, maybe switching to wayland after 6.2 or 6.3
This is all addressed in the article
Come on, it's a really good strategy if you care about this (use the official binary, or make the effort of making a static binary yourself).

And even your linked binary will probably work in 10 years, these libraries are not likely to break. See for example https://superuser.com/questions/1450027/how-exactly-a-system...

I use borgbase for my cloud backups. Works great, but not for 23 TiB of data

I used to use external hard drives for backing up large amounts of data, but nearly all of them failed (4 out of 5 of my external hard drives broke. I can't get data of them because there are multiple I/O errors, even though RAID says the drive is fine. Other devices even fail to show up at all)

So I actually decided to get a Synology NAS and use it exclusively as a backup target.
I was excited about their AI capabilities, but seeing that they built/promote their own UI framework, I couldn't stop but think that their focus is not where it should be. Why would you spend the time and resources to build your own UI framework, when your main product is an API?

Sure, but their title seems poorly chosen and doesn't match what they are claiming in the article itself, which includes understanding how GPT-2 makes it's predictions.

How does GPT-2 learn, for example, that copying a word from way back in the context helps it to minimize the prediction error? How does it even manage to copy a word from the context to the output? We know that it is minimizing prediction errors, and learned to do so via gradient descent, but HOW is it doing it? (we've discovered a few answers, but it's still a research area)

This is all correct. Stats lie. Crime is an extremely localized issue, so it's easy for people to handwave away if they are in an area that doesn't experience it.
I think documentation is a great example - the problem is not "nothing is documented", or even the accessibility. The problem is "lack of documentation causes X". Once you establish the business pain caused by the technical shortcomings, you have a list of "Xs", and can prioritize based on the level of impact of each. Then you come across as someone really looking to help and improve the organization, and not as someone just pushing personal preferences.
Let’s be clear. 2017 is SEVEN years ago. Things could be far worse.
Interesting to note that a site like this could implement a rather dark and exploitive business model:

1. Service A lets a user pose a captcha to a target
2. Service B sells captcha solving service to bots, using service A as the solver backend
3. A service A user may become a victim of a bot that uses service B

An interesting feature is that it can sell a single captcha solution to multiple bots. Let's call that the captcha multiplier (CM).

Here the CM is 3, since the challenge is reused 3 times:

1. Bot X encounters challenge 1
2. Bot X poses challenge 1 to service B
3. Service A poses challenge 1 to bot Y
4. Bot Y poses challenge 1 to service B
5. Service A poses challenge 1 to person Z
6. Person Z solves challenge 1
7. Bots X, Y get solution 1, pay service B

Here is what CM=10 looks like:
1. 100 humans use service A
2. 90 bots use service B
3. Only 10 actual humans solve captchas

This woylr a captcha multiplier rate of 10.
"Typst Overleaf" sounds like a fine business idea to me, if you give the user the option to export TeX (so that they can then submit it to a journal).

(If you support both LaTeX and Typst, and improve the Overleaf experience somewhat -- which is definitely possible -- I can't imagine you wouldn't steal some market share from Overleaf.)

Backblaze is $6/TB so should be cost effective for this amount of data.

I think all the recommended backup SW (restic, duplicity) encrypt before storing. I use restic but haven't exactly been hugely exercising it, so can't place much weight on my experience . But it should be okay with this quantity of data.

Generally I'd guess that diversity of backups wins over using a single expensive one in terms of reliability, but at the expense of more overhead managing them.
Karma-bait is everywhere on HN
If you can pare things down to fit on a couple of drives that you can keep attached to an online computer, Backblaze would be inexpensive and they have an option to use your own encryption key.
Never had a good experience with anything using Server-Sent-Events, this especially goes for TFS, open a tab too many and all your TFS tabs just freeze
That would be a strict no-no for us considering the sensitivity of data.

It's interesting to wonder why they denied the bond. As reported elsewhere, to post a pond for $464 million, they wanted at last $500 million in assets as guarantee. Somehow Trump was not able to do that.

1. financial risk

Trump has assets at least nominally valued few billions, but his net worth is hazy.
He has already taken loans for the properties, has other investors involved, and the real value may be much less than declared. If the valuations are messy, associates are shady, and accounting is not transparent, insurance companies are not going to touch it.

2. political risk

What if Trump wins the elections? Insurance companies going after revengeful Trump while he is in the office is huge risk.
> If you want to publish proof of an event, you should have some pixels on a screen along with some cryptographic signature from a device sensor that would necessitate atleast a big corporation like Nikon / Sony / etc. being "in on it" to fake.

That idea doesn't work, at all.

Even assuming a perfect technical implementation, all you'd have to do to defeat it is launder your fake image through a camera's image sensor. And there's even a term for doing that: telecine.

With the right jig, a HiDPI display, and typical photo editing (no one shows you raw, full-res images), I don't think such a signature forgery would detectable by a layman or maybe even an expert.
You didn't mention a budget (monthly or tolerance for one-time expenses).

I just copy everything to HDDs using a Plugable USB-C/SATA dock (nicer and far more reliable IMO than those $9 dongles you see around). I then put the drives in a Turtle HDD case for padding against environmental factors. That protects me against everything except house fire/theft/tornado sucking up the case and dropping it in another state.

My backup needs are beyond any single drive, but at 23 TiB you don't have to purge much to fit on a single hard drive...there are 20 and 22 TB models for sale.

I'd buy a drive WAY larger than 6 TiB just in case you underestimated how much you actually want to save. Having the extra space would also allow you to incorporate error-correction techniques like generating PAR2 files (I did that with some emotionally-important personal files).
What risk is being taken? Financial risk? Opportunity risk?

Employees take the most risk because they gave the fewest options in the market

The risk a PE or bank takes giving a loan isn’t the same risk a loan holder takes by collateralizing their home.

This makes sense. Amazon's corporate culture is famous for its deficits.
I'd recommend storing it AWS S3 with an encrypted key physically stamped onto metal cards (some crypto people use similar products for seed phrases).

Distribute the metal cards as widely as you can, at home, potentially in safety deposit boxes or buried somewhere (potentially with an additional layer of protection from a brain memory password.)

This protects against a class of physical data destruction from house fires, theft, floods etc.

However I'd withdraw this recommendation if you live in a jurisdiction where you can be compelled to hand over passwords, e.g England
"Pushing on a string." Generally speaking, investors won't invest if you promise to lose their money. Or if you promise to destroy their money. Or if you promise to steal some of their money. Most of the time, investors hope to make a profit. So you can cut interest rates to zero, but you can't cut it much below zero.

A big surprise of the aftermath of 2008 is that investors will, in fact, tolerate a slightly negative interest rate. Big investors with tens of billions of dollars cannot simply take the money as cash, they need to put it in a bank, so if a bank imposes negative 0.1% then some investors simply consider that a fee for storing the money, so it was, in fact, possible to go slightly below zero. But the problem was, there was no way to go deeply below zero. In the USA in 2009 it was estimated that we would need an interest rate of negative 6% to get back to full employment. And of course, no investor will voluntarily take such a loss on their money. That's why monetary policy has limits. That why financial policy has to be used. However, a coalition of Republicans, along with a handful of key Democrats, such as Larry Summers, moved to block all financial policy, so we suffered several years of high unemployment.

Japan, of course, had it worse than the USA, as they are also facing demographic contraction. In their case, they used monetary policy and some financial policy, but all of it together barely offset the demographic contraction of working age adults that they have faced.
The datahoarding community often discuss things like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/
There are millions of pieces of software in C or C++ with more than a couple thousand commits, whereas with rust there are maybe a handful (the rust compiler itself, Servo, Deno, and... ?), and I bet they all had to fix memory safety bugs (except I guess we call them "soundness issues" in Rust).

This argument reads like the old "Linux / macOS is safer than Windows, look at all the malware that targets Windows" while ignoring that at the time Windows had 95%+ market share for desktop.
> Yes, it’s $YEAR and we’re still producing PDFs. Again, historical reasons plus the fact that most people doing maths are not necessarily very interested in computers.

I generally find PDFs to be a very agreeable way to read the sort of content LaTeX is typically used to write. And in writing it myself I don't need to think about what weird layout issues someone else might encounter when viewing my content. There are certainly accessibility issues with PDFs, but also ways to mitigate that[0].

The variety of approaches in these comments is fascinating.

Does it mean there's more than one right answer, or that no one solution is ideal?
For Mac, I'm not super in touch, but I get the impression Apple is all in on Swift UI, and their developer support model is clear: use old tech at your peril, it may not be supported in the next version. So I would use Swift UI.

For Windows, I think it goes the other way. Microsoft is always coming around with a new UI model that's half-ass and will be dead next year. Use the old ways: MFC will never die.

> In order to understand the Japanese economy today, one really needs to read books about Japan's bubble in the 1980s. The interest rates Japan experiences today are the result of this.

Have they really not changed their thinking in all that time?

We in the west have had at 3-4 major financial crashes in the intervening period - and innumerable changes in government policy.
We're taking Boeing's ability to screw things up, NASA's extreme risk aversion, and then mixing them up together in a blender that includes untested technology, the first humans out of low orbit in more than half a century, and NASA's desire to make a huge spectacle out of it all - including identity politics.

IMO there's a high probability that a human landing via Artemis ultimately never happens. This isn't the NASA of the 60s that's happy to send a few guys up to the Moon while simultaneously also already having a memorial speech commemorating their deaths written and on standby. They're going to want to be near to 100% assured that the mission will be safely executed, and I simply don't think you can get anywhere near to that in practice.

For the exact same reasons, it's also unlikely that Artemis 2 will go ahead. And that launch is scheduled for as early as the end of next year. So it should be an early indicator of things to come, or not to come.

And people give Microsoft shit for not supporting Windows 10 more than 10 years when Apple only does 5.

>I use EndeavourOS on all my old Mac hardware and update without fear literally every couple of days

That's incredibly brave (or foolish) to have no fear of upgrading Arch, considering Arch does indeed break, it's not a question of IF, it's a question of WHEN.

Also had EndeavourOS for a while when I attempted to switch to Linux and, gave up on it when an update left me without sound. It's a great "batteries included" Arch distro, but can't tolerate such risks on a daily driver machine that I need it to work 100% of the time, every time.

For daily driving without update anxiety I'd go for something boring like Ubuntu/Debian based OSs, Fedora if you want more up-date, or even OpenSUSE if you want a sane rolling distro, but I'd stay away from Arch if you want your computer to just-work(TM) and don't wanna be your own part-time sys-admin.
It already is effectively just for industry benefit. It's been like that since the start. Work that is too expensive for industry to do (research and discovery) was put into the public sphere such that the role of industry was to take that innovation and optimize it. That's at least how it is intentionally constructed.

My main point was that there is a lot of noise in scientific journals that are caused from pressures in academia that are requirements if publishing. If these are removed, then the quality of work published increases and quantity decreased.

There are other places to post work that is derivative and non-novel like blogs. The field of biology has an immense amount of work that is mostly observational without strong conclusions or predictivity. A tabulation of observation should definitely be put out by a lab, and it should be much sooner with far less pressures than today, such as the typical dance of putting the data in during publication. The SRA is one example of a place to share data. If the typical way to work was put all data immediately onto a public repo, sometimes comment on it in ways that have been seen before on blogs and other classes below scientific journals, and then if something truly substantial comes out of it (a novel model that is analytical and highly predictive of cell behavior in all situations for example) then publish.

It could alleviate the noise from the signal. LLMs is one case where the noise is very strong in that many papers are simply 'we fine tuned an llm'.

And there are multiple people here claiming that they aren’t having any Java issues.

People are all up in arms based on what’s essentially a misinterpretation of the nature and severity of these issues. Something is obviously up, but it’s not as simple as ‘Java no worky’.
If you don't know how to build a statically linked rust binary yourself, then why bother posting about the downsides of dynamic linking?

And obviously you can also link statically against musl on glibc systems. It's just another library.
I'd guess not the latter — anecdotally, my intel mac has been increasingly sluggish after each macos upgrade, even after a clean install. I finally decided to revert to the oldest macos version possible (and then update by just one major version since unfortunately some apps I need don't support Catalina anymore) and the difference is night and day — my memory was right and my laptop _was_ faster before. And it's not hardware getting old or battery problems, it's the OS.

So I don't know if older macs are intentionally crippled or they're just ignored during QA, but I don't believe they're actually intentionally supported
