I'm surprised so many people in this thread are abandoning the core of what it means to be open source, it's literally the first tenant. Anyone, even your worst enemy or competitor can use the software for any purpose at all. As much as the years where dev spaces were really pro copyleft were kind of insufferable at least the community actually cared about the mission and vision of open source.

It doesn't make any sense at all that Google/AWS "has to pay their fair share," their usage is no different than any other company's getting value and making money from a piece of software. Redis just sees dollar signs because they have deep pockets, it's shameful. It's sketchier than Oracle licensing.

Just the same as OpenTofu and OpenSearch, I'll be switching us over to Valkey. I'll be supporting the big bad cloud providers who are actually embodying the spirit of OSS.
Agreed. Just shift them a year ahead, or in an AP track, or bury them in extracurriculars. It really doesn't seem that hard to me, to accommodate a precocious kid, especially in large schools or large public school districts. (shoot me down if I don't know what I'm talking about). The studious ones will be ok, has it ever been different?
I've never had a good one to tell my jr devs. Thank you for this!!!!

Thought by whom? Surely the plastic engineers know what stuff they put into it. And although the article says most are unregulated, surely the regulators, governments, and voting populations tbh, are at least aware that they're not regulating this. If there ever was ignorance it was at least wilful ignorance.
I’m saying the physical actuators that turn the steering wheel when LKA is on are torque limited on purpose, so they won’t be able to make a sharp turn or overpower a human, even if they won’t disengage when a human tries to override it (e.g. due to a bug or sensor failure).

This is how it always was before covid and how it will always be if you send kids to germ factories (aka schools). Get the meds, drink water, go to sleep.

There is likely a sub-set that strives to get lot of children. This could be driven by biological and/or cultural source. But there is also large set that don't...

So it there might eventually be increase in rate of child production. The length interim time is however very good question.
That was just as true before as it is now.

The real losers here are cloud hosters like AWS and Azure.
This is the first comment I see directing the problem at the parents, where I believe it rightly belongs. Is it not the parent's responsibility to make sure their child gets to school safely and on time every day?

Sometimes I get the feeling all the folks touting podman as a drop-in replacement for docker are doing it in bad faith.

Every few years I try to replace my containers managed through docker-compose and it's always a sure miss. Before podman gained official support for the docker-compose spec, there was an unofficial podman-compose project that sort of worked save for a few podman incompatibility bugs here and there.

So I was delighted to try out the "official" docker-compose for podman. Quickly learned that there's no such package, the official podman-compose is just the same docker compose package, you just use it with podman the same way you would with docker. Despite this glaring inconsistency I decided to give podman a try (if you are going to install docker compose on your system might as well just use docker). Noped out when I tried to create a VPN with a podman container and it was failing requiring me to enable a kernel module (TAP or TUN can't remember exact error) to create a vpn.

Anyone who says podman is a drop-in replacement for docker never used docker much for anything more than running hello-world. I would only recommend podman over docker for someone who's new to containers and has never heard of docker before.

My understanding is that it is only true for Redis versions post licence change _and_ produced by Redis the company. The amazons of the world can still take a BSD version of Redis and host it for money, they can even start maintaining forks under BSD or other licenses. The gamble from the Redis Co here is that newer versions provide enough additional value for customers to either pay them directly or amazons to provide it as a service in their clouds and pay money to Redis the company as per the licensing agreements.
As a Portuguese native Microsoft FTE, I found the name change jarring. “Entra” means “Enter”, with a subtext of permissiveness that seems overly positive for an authentication mechanism. But then again, Continental Portuguese is seldom considered as a semantic idiom, and Brazilian Portuguese (or even Spanish) tend to have a lot more influence in branding everywhere on the planet.
Indeed there have been, I can't recall the exact study, but I found a meta-analysis here: [Physical Activity and Academic Performance in School-Age Children: A Systematic Review
](https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/8/6616).
In part because the US has created "pre-school", which children attend for a year or two before kindergarten. This is more like the traditional kindergarten that you describe -- it is intended to get kids to learn to get along with each other, play nicely, sing songs, etc.
Very sad.

I will not fly in a small plane, just as I wouldn't ride a motorcycle (both have similar death/time rates.) Your preferences may differ.

This doesn't mean riding in a car is risk free. Many well known computer figures have died that way too. A friend of mine who went on to become fairly well known in the early internet died that way, a head-on accident on I-95.
Probably a lot of them are byproducts, side reactions etc. Things which form chemically alongside the main "plastic-making" reactions. Kind of like how car exhaust contains all sorts of compounds (most of which are burnt up by the catalytic converter, fortunately) other than CO2 and H2O.

> Chronic absence is typically defined as missing at least 10 percent of the school year, or about 18 days, for any reason.

I don't think having a cold or two is going to put many people in this category. Decades ago when I was in public school, the kids who were chronically absent like this were the ones who clearly had some behavioral issues or problems at home.

The linked study also demonstrates that the rates are strongly associated with socioeconomic factors. I think the real issue here is that a subset of people simply have fewer fucks to give about school, and that has been accelerated by the distance and space that COVID created between students/parents and school.
I love these wild flights of fancy.

Just today I was thinking that perhaps ADHD is noise caused by the reverse time simulation of your brain iterating, trying to get the right details. All of the "normal people" are already reconstituted -- or, if I might boast -- low resolution details relative to the important matters of inquiry. Not that a simulation should feel self-important.
> shouldn't be artificially held back.

but are they? It seems like every school district has magnets, AP tracks, relationship with community colleges, extracurriculars, skipping a year,... for the smart ones.
I've been feeling this lately. A new guy came in and Terraformed the crap out of a very consistent and reliable AWS infrastructure.

I don't know whether to blame the tool or the implementation, but the injection of unpredictability is extremely unwelcome! We're only using it on the non-production account so far, fortunately.

I prefer boring systems. The more boring, the better.
I suggest you to try out Eleventy (https://www.11ty.dev/)

Quite simple to start, and a nice system to add some scripting and styles without the requirement of bringing in a framework.
The first graph is incredibly misleading. The text talks about fetching from 5 servers and needing 4 results vs fetching from 1 server and needing 1 result. Then the graph compares 4-of-5 to 4-of-4 latency, which is just meaningless. It should compare 4-of-5 with 1-of-1.
Ah yes put the kids struggling (let’s ignore it could be the teachers being bad that causes this) with the disruptive kids so it’s even harder for them to learn. Great solution.
Why do you care? Most public schools are so slow now you could miss a month and they would still have not covered more than a week of material
Not the voting populations, but yes, regulators should be aware of this stuff. They've failed pretty badly if not.
> He sold the trademark to some random company. Amazon / Google / Microsoft could have thrown him $30M for that and put Redis in an OSS Foundation.

It sounds like a very bad deal for the likes of Amazon et al. The likes of Amazon offer Redis alongside memcache just because cloud adopters might want to use a memory cache service,but there is no value in buying trademarks for it.

I mean, just take a quick look how Amazon offers managed RDBMS, and how the specific DB is just an afterthought behind a compatible interface.

People seem to think that just because some company has cash that they should mindlessly spend it on things that add absolutely no value.

> consciousness is a way to adapt to the environment to protect their lives, fulfill their needs and eventually reproduce

That is a very specific and narrow definition, biased by animal consciousness on Earth. While I am not personally aware of a definition of consciousness, I think of it as awareness and potentially some ability to act on that awareness by any method.
Also- getting cold symptoms and simply not acknowledging that it could be covid doesn’t make it not covid.
I am trying to run it locally but it doesn't quite work for me.

I was able to run the demos allright, but when trying to use another reference speaker (in demo_part1), the result doesn't sound at all like the source (it's just a random male voice).

I'm also trying to produce French output, using a reference audio file in French for the base speaker, and a text in French. This triggers an error in api.py line 75 that the source language is not accepted.

Indeed, in api.py line 45 the only two source languages allowed are English and Chineese; simply adding French to language_marks in api.py line 43 avoids errors but produces a weird/unintelligible result with a super heavy English accent and pronunciation.

I guess one would need to generate source_se again, and probably mess with config.json and checkpoint.pth as well, but I could not find instructions on how to do this...?

Edit -- tried again on https://app.myshell.ai/ The result sounds French alright, but still nothing like the original reference. It would be absolutely impossible to confuse one with the other, even for someone who didn't know the person very well.
IANAL, but this looks like a grey area to me: it could be argued that the person/company getting paid to do the setup is using the model commercially.
My SO and I foster so we have to take training so many hours per year to keep our license. One year we were able to take classes with some teachers and one of the classes was about alternative teaching that included a lot of motion. Kids would have balls to sit on, small trampolines, etc in the class. There was a lot of motion during the day. I recall the teachers being both excited and sad; they thought the ideas were worth consideration, but they knew nothing like this would happen at their schools.
It is extremely unlikely that these concerns will undo anything we think we know in the realm of biology, such as how metabolism and reproduction work.

Consciousness is different, as we don't know how it works, but we have no evidence suggesting either that it will require a complete rewrite of fundamental physics to explain, or that a rewrite of fundamental physics to resolve the issues you raise would also provide the missing information needed to explain consciousness.

Converting to a Progressive Web App
“Zola is not really meant for PWA” so I got interested.
I predict most forks will go nowhere because the success of a fork requires developers to contribute to it. In most cases the forks are being driven by people who just want free stuff and are angry they can't be subsidized anymore. They don't want to actually do any work.

Open source is not about just leeching free stuff. It's supposed to be a gift economy where you give back either directly or indirectly by promoting, educating, or donating. The F in FOSS is supposed to stand for Freedom not Free-as-in-beer.

A full revolt is in progress against the entire SaaS enterprise leeching off open source. Larger often business backed projects like this changing to source available licenses is the most visible manifestation, but I also see more and more indie devs using licenses like the AGPL or not open sourcing at all.

Open source will die as anything but a dumping strategy by mega-corps to crush competition if we don't deal with this. The OSI is fully captured by companies that benefit from the status quo, so I don't see them doing anything about it.

As long as the painting is stable, there is something to be said for keeping it as undisturbed as possible. Historically, we have had to trade off the risk of bad restorations the desire to see the painting in its full glory.

But these days, couldn't they just x-ray/MRI it and do a digital reconstruction of it? We should be able to have our cake and eat too.
If you're sneezing and sniffling, please for the love of god, do not go to the office.

Even before the pandemic we had that policy, and it's a very good default. No, colds are not the end of the world, but they are genuinely miserable, and you will share it. And if money is all somebody cares about, well, colds also diminish work output, so one ne'er-do-well going in sick can screw up an entire department's metrics over the course of several months.
How many lines of Python does that end up being? Seems almost reasonable that this could fit in just a couple files
Redis is everywhere and a lot of corporations aren’t going to change their short term roadmap to migrate to a fork.

That could be a huge money shot for Redis.

But it’s probably only a one-shot, not a viable business model. Sure the company is going to tank sooner than later, but if founders jumps from the ship at the right time, they may be rich for multiple generations.
We don't have "school districts" here nevermind any of that other stuff. Skipping a year is practically unheard of. There were "gifted and talented" programmes but those were just holding pens, there was no serious attempt to teach more advanced material

Don't be fooled - the article says something about no need for the US to 'truckle' (is that a word?) to OPEC since we're the biggest oil producer. 13M barrels a day!

Oh, wait, the US consumes 20M barrels a day. So we still have a lot of truckling to do I guess.
I've been working on creating more practice tests for the Digital SAT at https://digitest.io/.

For those that don't know, the SAT is fully digital now and there are only 6 official practice tests available. So, with the help of AI, we created a platform with more tests to practice from.
People have discussed various deities for centuries, and most of those don't seem to mind whether they exist or not.

Also, many concepts have wildly varying ways of "existing".

As a random example, a Mandelbrot fractal exists as a simple algorithm, but also as a concept related to (possibly beautiful) images. Which of these two is the proper or fundamental perspective to "understand" fractals better? Would studying the images be helpful to derive the algorithm if you lost its description? It's probably more helpful to study something else entirely to understand fractals better. And fractals are probably child's play compared to consciousness.
Then don't blame the customer for misinterpreting it when it is done terribly.

I have got to build or buy a new computer capable of playing with all this cool shit. I built my last "gaming" PC in 2016, so its hardware isn't really ideal for AI shenanigans, and my Macbook for work is an increasingly crusty 2019 model, so that's out too.

Yeah, I could rent time on a server, but that's not as cool as just having a box in my house that I could use to play with local models. Feels like I'm missing a wave of fun stuff to experiment with, but hardware is expensive!
It is a fun proof! I'm trying to understand why it's not actually valid; is the idea similar to the sorites paradox?

You know how people complain that social media only shows people exaggerated positivity, and harms our youth because they actually believe that people's live are being accurately portrayed?

Sounds like you've got that same skewed perspective on the HN community. Most of us are run-of-the-mill humans, just doing our jobs, living our lives, and participating on HN to keep up on what else is going on. We're as flawed as anyone else, and nothing in your description makes it sound like you aren't one of us.

If you are unhappy with your productivity, by all means try to do better. But don't do it because you think we're any different - just do it for yourself, a little at a time, getting a little better each day/week/month.
idk, I actively dropped docker as soon as I reasonably could. podman is an objectively better tool by nearly every metric and it has an almost exact 1:1 CLI tool, so there's not really a learning curve besides a few configuration differences

> whence modern science, now demystified and unmasked as an instrument of white, male, homophobic, Euro-centric oppression, had proudly thought to have dislodged an arrogant humanity. This has given new meaning to the words "obscurantism" and "sophistry." Where the arrogance (let alone the intolerance and "extremism") has settled now is all too plain to those familiar with American academic life, where many American colleges have "speech codes" or equivalent regulations (not to mention radical mobs, often masked) that openly violate the First Amendment and their contractual obligations for academic freedom. Radical professors, and often whole schools of "education," are literally teaching students to hate their very own civil rights, let alone respect those of others.

I agree; the ideas in it are terrible!
I’ve started to keep a collection of readable papers (mostly engineering/experimental science, but a little bit of more theoretical work as well) that cover what I consider to be pretty foundational concepts, because additional citations are ~free and it at least gives an entry point for readers that are on the edge of the target audience.

As a consequence, I’ve read papers that were written anywhere from the late 19th century to just a year or two ago. In my experience, the older papers tend to be more understandable at a conceptual level but more modern ones tend to be more precise with the details. There is likely some survivorship bias here, though, as there has been more time for the worst of the old papers to be forgotten.

The writing style has also changed a lot— The older papers present things in a much more narrative way, and it can be a challenge to bring the kind of motivational context that allows into a paper that would feel at home in a modern publication.
