To be fair, that’s probably what anyone would have seen from the ground level and I think what I liked about it.
What incentive does FB have to limit that access? Feels like MBAs would just see that as a cost/burden? We know FB does give a fuck about privacy, so that’s never gonna be a reason.
Doesn’t it work for the Linux kernel? And https? And lots of other stuff?
Engineers have to eat too.

Nothing wrong with charging for support.

I love passion projects as much as anyone, but there is a reason they are hobbies, and people need to keep a day job. Eventually it does get tiring to do support for free.

Edit:

Ok. I was talking OSS generally. I guess Redis is being bad actor if they are taking OSS work and running away with it to get the money, and not compensating the contributors. That is very wrong. I don't know history on Redis and assumed it was the contributors that founded the company.
I honestly think EUPL is the best license and takes care of so many issues:

* Free (as in beer) to use

* Free (as in mel gibson) to modify and use for yourself

* If you modify and distribute, you must make source available

* 'Application service provider' counts as a distribution

* No viral clause

Lastly, if you ARE a startup with a valuable product, it may be time to consider simply not starting out as an open source company. Instead, charge a reasonable fee (reasonable meaning: not a monthly recurring fee, or per device fee) and license it like it's IBM in the 2000s (you 'buy' it, not rent it).
Do I understand well that this update implies low fees for rollups but not for native Ethereum transactions themselves?
Yep we worked on in from 2014-2021 when it sold.
This is definitely a workflow we can package into something open-source.

I wonder how the community moderators would like it.
Few things come to my mind:

1) There is a general batch of stamps and also a second batch, that is used to exchange "old" for "new" stamps. The second batch either contains duplicate numbers, or is not activated in the post system at all -> so those get marked as counterfeit

2) The barcode system has no error correction -> the scanners just read the codes "as is", without any sort of error correction / verification if they were read correctly. The incorrect numbers (wrong reading) are then marked as counterfeit

3) Incorrect readings vs some generic "list of stamps that were used" -> fake (?) duplicates marked by the system.
Please see Google maps: there's lots of places in Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and of course NJ, Westchester, Connecticut, Staten Island

This is particularly true off-hours. One friend from Nassau reports 20-30 mins drive off peak but mass transit would be crazy: long walk to a bus to LIRR to subway. 3 transfers and hours of BS. Perhaps with an electric scooter? But then what about crappy weather or hauling stuff?
The tone of the article suggests that 25 years (potentially as few as 12.5 served) is a steep sentence.

In fact, many of us are wondering why he got such a light sentence.

It reads like an unfinished piece - cut off to meet a publishing deadline.
I agree. People here always seem to react badly to companies that provide something for free and now want to make a bit of money. It’s weird because they themselves work in tech and have to earn a living to put food on the table. Having no way of making money isn’t sustainable.
>Does quality matter as much for X as it does for Boeing?

If Xitter returns 404s for 5 minutes, it's not the end of the world. Its users will come back after going to the bathroom. If Xitter spews garbage "news" stories, it doesn't really matter: its users will stick around anyway, and the people who think the stuff on Xitter is garbage are already gone anyway, or not paying attention to those channels anyway.
You don't need a production line if you never build the car.

This will remain vaporware for the foreseeable future.
If most people hold these nihilistic/defeatist sentiments, then yes, we really are doomed. Thankfully, I don't think that's the case.
Lower cost for me, not for thee
The CTO has more recent commits, aleclearmind's commits drop to 0 after 2020 so maybe they also have a hard time getting to code.
> I think that's true for Sam. I hope it's not true for the people in his orbit

People in his orbit knew very well what they were doing and looks that they will get mostly slapped on their wrists, since most fault was attributed to SBF only.
For me, framing a conversation as a debate emphasizes the differences of viewpoint that are most likely to cause friction between people. It’s far easier to build from common ground. People can tell when you are treating them like an opponent.

It's weird to see a Tesla graphic touting how the new assembly system will allow more people to operate on a car at once. I thought for the longest time their interest was using as few people as possible.
Same. Also, in retrospect, The Blind Side was pretty problematic as well, and Lewis's handling of the recent Oher revelations was telling.
Analog systems can be difficult to troubleshoot too, depending on the issue. I've spent some time scratching my head on some old turn signal systems on old motorcycles before, and their diagrams looked simple... at first. Digital electronics can be a pleasure to work with if you have the right tools, the right information, and the system wasn't designed poorly. The Suzuki and the Impreza aren't just more complicated for no reason -- they're also most sophisticated vehicles that do more things.
Do you not see how that's exactly what the banks are saying about their own computing infrastructure?
“We are the universe experiencing itself”… so technically, yes?
Yup. The Model S was vaporware and the 3 was definitely vaporware and the cybertruck was definitely vaporware.

>In the computer industry, vaporware (or vapourware) is a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is late, never actually manufactured, or officially cancelled.

Vaporware means it never comes. People need to find a new thing to shit on besides tesla not delivering cars. Make fun of Elon's hair plugs or something realistic at least
I think the main issue is bait and switch. You start with a license, get lots of external contributors who are working for free, get ecosystem built around it for free and then change because you want to be paid.
BTC (and derivatives) were very much "just for holding". The fact that they hoped it could be used for day-to-day value transfers does not negate the fact that the system can only work with a continuous influx of capital. "You should pay something with BTC, but if possible buy back the USD-equivalent amount" was standard advice already in 2011.

> Saying you have some other use case besides asset appreciation is not a unique proposition.

Now, it isn't. In 2015, it pretty much was.
I think you need to think of the air company clients: us.
If we suddenly would decide "nope, not going to board a Boeing anymore" companies would stop ordering, and then Boeing would experience severe economic punishment for it's actions.

But this paper relies heavily on IIT, and I thought there was some posts on HN recently from Scott Aaronson that had disproven IIT?

I checked Aaronson's web site and can't find the paper on discussing why IIT wont work.

> self-organizing systems at all levels of complexity, including stars and galaxies, might have experience, awareness, or consciousness.

It must be terrifying if you're a galactic entity and have experience, awareness, and consciousness, but no autonomy w.r.t. movement, trapped in a trillion-year path that you cannot escape.
Vaporware means it is substantially overdue, has not arrived yet, and shows no sign of imminent arrival.

"Never" is a big word.
Yeah kind of bummed me out.
That seems like a bold claim to make on a forum populated by a bunch of statistics nerds, among other folks that use models every day at their jobs.

So, what's your claim? Statistics don't work? "Models" (what do you mean by that) are all bunk?
I’ve been involved in the product development of inbox and chat interfaces, and I’m having a hard time imagining the applications of this product.

Though, I’d like to comment that there are two separate ideas that I will reflect on which are:

1) How LLM’s can be implemented to create more complex forms of content, with little to none human input. (Automatically adding context like title, summary, hashtags, images…)

2) The ranking, or algorithmic idea of changing “chat” to “posts” thus it’s concept development can evolve towards a Feed…

I wish you the best, thank you for sharing the demo and images. The UI looks great.
Geany is almost twenty years old.
With the two DSPs, seems like this would be a nice board to build a guitar effects pedal around.

It raises the stock price.
Isn't this the reason why AGPL has started to get more popular? Everyone has to play by the very strict rules except the copyright holder, who can do whatever they want, but the community still benefits from the core software being open source.

The BSD license in particular seems like a particularly bad way to run a business.
But at least there's no one else around to bother you.
how can tata motors build a sub US $10k fully electric cars with 4/5 star ncap safety rating, same for byd and yet american companies seem to struggle with 2-5x that figure? why does every american need an ev that has to have 1000 mile range or it wont sell?

this tata motors car, tiago ev has like 250Km advertised rannge. real world people say 180/190km. thats A LOT for city driving. you dont use your car for food delivery, do you?

secondly, on highways there are chargers popping up so it wouldnt matter
Exactly.

I work in cyber security and I am more convinced by the day that the answer is not having the data to steal rather than attempting to mitigate every possible threat.

This combined with zero trust and 2fa/passkeys will go much further than many other snake oil solutions the industry loves.
I agree.

I'm not sure how nefarious this Redis move was. I guess I was assuming any move from 'free', to 'paid', will be met with some outcry regardless of how seamless they can pull it off.

Or in other words, it is always a messy transition?

Without the concept of free will in humans, which many now accept as a possibility, what would be the fundamental difference between an entity such as the sun, a plant and a human? None, except the lifespan.
Every single one of Tesla's cars has been called vaporware and they always deliver. At this point it's a dead horse.
As a former employee until 2018, I heard the words “Project Ghostbusters” two days ago. I was peripherally aware of something called Onavo but I had no notion that anyone was talking about “kits”, we all thought it was some kind of metrics thing that was sort of iffy sounding but lots of iffy ideas got proposed by some PM looking to make a name and shot down by the grownups, what is alleged would have provoked a riot at the weekly all hands.

If any of this is true they didn’t tell people like me about it, and at one point there were three people on the org chart between myself and the CEO.

I’m very skeptical of the allegations, but I’d be lying if I said I found them to be flat impossible. I tread very lightly on this sort of thing and I didn’t even acknowledge I’d ever heard the word Onavo until I read it on TechCrunch.

I certainly hope they’re false: FAIR seems to be the last real hope for an Open future on AI short of a complete housecleaning of the whole Valley.
Why would there be any difference? Most modern cars are write-offs once there's any structural body damage.

Fender benders don't damage the relevant parts.
Honey bees in America are livestock, and these are animal husbandry concerns, not ecological ones. Honey bees are invasive (in fact, they outcompete native pollinators and are ecologically problematic). The Varroa Destructor mite killed every feral honey bee off in the 1990s, and while the situation may have changed in recent years, it was the case not long ago that every true honey bee you saw in the US belonged in some sense to a human owner.
Obviously, just look at it. How could it not be? That's just how things are.
I'm surprised they are not developing their own GPUs.
> This is the essential point. Are changes for the better prevented by wicked men who know the changes to be advisable, but resist them out of self-interest? Or are they prevented by the difficulty of knowing for certain where wisdom lies? The class-war faction believe that it is well known what ought to be done; that we are divided between the poor and good who would like to do it, and the rich and wicked who, for reasons of self-interest, wish to prevent it; that the wicked have power; and that a revolution is required to depose them from their seats. I view the matter otherwise. I think it extremely difficult to know what ought to be done, and extremely difficult for those who know (or think they know) to persuade others that they are right; through theories, which are difficult and obscure when they are new and undigested, grow easier by the mere passage of time.

I was a big fan of Babylon 5 so this is great news.
My perspectives from being a software developer at Xerox Canada until being downsized:

1. The folks running the show started out as copier salesmen who had trouble getting their heads around the fact that the banks, utilities, governments etc running high volume printers used mainframes which required mainframe software for the printers to be useful.

2. Revenue from printers (click charges) was entirely credited to sales. The software that enabled the sale and click charges was looked upon only as expense. Its contribution to revenue was ignored.

3. Technologies were abandoned at a slightly lower rate than Chromebooks. Customers were left holding the bag with dead ended platforms and applications. The concept of investment protection, providing a growth path for customer software on Xerox platforms simply did not exist.

As many have mentioned, Xerox was expert at throwing away the future and continues to shrink.
No. A lot of that work is sponsored.
Where is $40k CyberTrack and 500 miles range? It never came.
Hey guys - how does this compare to cube?
I think you're trying to move the goal posts. The apps on the new are absolutely without a shadow of doubt trying to make their users addicted. To even suggest they are not addictive is beyond pale, and makes you look like a not serious attempt at the discussion, or worse.

Your second sentence is null after your first.
I should really specify climate models in that bold claim. There's too little data (globally, from satellites, only since 1979) and global climate is not a closed system that can be experimented on. Nobody has any idea what the sun will do next; we can't even predict the purely terrestrial El Niño/La Niña trend past the notorious spring prediction barrier. Compare semiconductor models (which work very well) for example. Climate models are a joke. A bad one, at that.
Cryptocurrency is different because the primary value proposition is the "law of the jungle" market economics. The value of your tokens comes from the general swirl of criminal activity. You can't say you deserve the upside but not the downside risk.

So strange to read about hesitant scientists who are afraid to reach for the stars. Science is supposed to be bold, going where no person has gone before. The ivory tower "scientists" are just not really scientists anymore.
My issue is the OSS contributors that were not paid for their work, but their work will be monetized now.
It’s not. The fine tuning taught the LLM how to give single-character responses (move/fire keyboard controls) in response to a sequence of ASCII-art-ized frames of the game being played.
You completely missed the point that...if Boeing knew he was going to blow the whistle, and they are so powerful...they'd have killed him beforehand. Not very smart of them to kill someone AFTER they blew the whistle and then make everyone think you did it. That just puts you even more into the spotlight and his testimony is already publicly available. Doesn't sound like a great conspiracy, much less a theory.
The point isn't wether the product is exactly the same. It's wether it's intrinsically worth the same.

You could be paying thousands of dollars to get your Big Mac in PyongYang, so technically it's available there, and PyongYand residents can there be declared as crazy rich on the PPP scale.

Same way if the measure was Toppogi it would be dirt cheap in PyongYang and Seoul but crazy expensive in Guatemala with one single shop offering it as a delicacy.
I’m usually pretty ambivalent when a company decides to move to a license like BUSL. Sure it’s not “free” - but practically it only affects the likes of AWS from freeloading while making extraordinary profits. Especially true when a given company started the project. I understand why some hold strong feelings on the principles of OSS. My perspective is we’ll have fewer nice things if we allow the likes of AWS to cannibalise successful services.

But I feel no such sympathy for Redis nee Labs. It was never their project. They took over stewardship and then effectively stole the project for themselves. They’re not even the dominant contributor to the core product.
TL/DR: ray.ai, a parallel job executor expects to be executed in trusted network only, and provides no native authentication. The executor uses common protocols (grpc, http), and developers mention that all nodes should be on private network and that any external access should have 3rd party authentication proxy. All the recommended deployment configs show how to do this.

Security firm discovered that a number of people misconfigured their nodes and put them on public internet, which allowed anyone to run their code there.

The result somehow blames the ray.ai, rather than people who misconfigured servers. I wonder if the same researchers also used to also blame FTP server writers for allowing anonymous uploads...

Does the LLC own any of the IP? If it was set up correctly, it would, and you'd need to work with an attorney to convert the LLC to a C corporation. There's no online service I'm aware of that can do that safely.

When you're issuing yourself shares, you can have the attorney make the start date of the vesting backdated to account for the work you've already put in. E.g. you can backdate the vesting start date to a year and half ago.

This is talking about the frame, not the sheet metal or plastic panel pieces. Most cars have a welded frame. If you get into an accident and that gets damaged then the car is usually totaled.
Full Self Driving is vaporware. The “cross country with no interventions” drive is vaporware.
I used to use Metapad at times, apart from (mainly) gVim, on Windows.

Development on it has stopped, IIRC, but it is still available for download.

I had used many other text editors earlier, such as TextPad, NPP, SciTE, PFE,etc., over the years .
Those aren't anywhere near the flexibility of a GPU. It's a more specialized accelerator tailored to machine learning workloads.
I have a serious question that might sound not serious. The articles I read about boeing seem to focus on assembly line issues. As someone who flies a lot, assembly problems scare me, but so far assembly qv hasn’t been catastrophic (right?). It seems the real issue is a design flaw in the 737max pilot interface. Aside from some articles that feel vague (like competition with airbus led to some poor decision making); the chain of decisions that led to the design flaw aren’t really reported on (right?). Do you all have the same read?
Yeah, they should've consulted Hacker News first before doing this study.
Likely the most accurate reason.

Tesla is on-track to miss delivery targets which is why we've seen a lot more PR articles recently.

As well as initiatives like forcing everyone who test-drives or services their car to try FSD which will help justify poor numbers.
