…but I mean, I’m not really up for playing the “pedantically correct about what he/she said” game with you.

Instead how about you comment on the point I’m actually making, which is:

opensearch is perfectly fine for most people.

For most people, there is no meaningful distinction between elastic and opensearch.

Opensearch is a healthy project which regularly receives updates and is widely used in production in large deployments.

If you have any meaningful or compelling argument why any of those three things is not true by all means, I’d love to hear about it.
This is how ALL open source used to be! Like literally ALL, this is the norm not this bullshit VC funded fremium restricted/tiered fuck the customer trap nonsense.

People built things because they loved it and wanted to help others , not to get rich. Now everyone just wants to get rich, and fast.
The museum there is really worth visiting.

> This isn't true at all.

It is. Go somewhere like South Africa where you expect with most meals to have a takeaway box, as there's so much food. We might do it, especially if we have kids with us, but it's not something after basically every meal.
> a reasonable person would expect that the fee you pay to upkeep your server is sufficient, since that's how it works in general

A reasonable person would expect their fees or one-off payments for a myriad of technology products and services sufficient to cover their costs, and yet so many of these are being discreetly subsidised by the selling of customer data. The customer (knowingly or not) ostensibly agreed to that when agreeing to the EULAs.

Arguably that's how it works in general. What's stopping a hosting service from using the same modus operandi to allegedly be able to offer more competitive prices to their customers?
Yep. Precisely. Licenses are working as expected. People that spin this as “stealing” are simply showing their own lack of understanding.
Probably not used in a conning context when it’s 200-300 million in the red.

What are you saying? That the car can't do a moose test or avoid a real moose while the system can see the lane markings?
Great, yeah are you going to move off the permissions blockchain to just permissioned smart contracts on a public blockchain?

Capital formation has been occurring this way for at least 12 years on public blockchains.

Satoshidice was one of the first companies and its shareholders created a vibrant secondary market onchain. They did dividends daily and it always went out to every shareholder daily. What happens now is so much more advanced but even more frictionless for crypto native issuers and traders.

One day DTCC and FINRA and the Fed will conform it to their redundant processes so that registered securities can do the same, using the same public utilities as everyone else.
> SBF was just not very detail oriented ... and sure the rules didn't matter much.

anybody well versed with human personalities will know those 2 things overlap and might as well be the same thing (details and rules). Thats who SBF is by nature. And he created a company with similar culture. Thats's a recipe for disaster. That's where his lack of emotional intelligence shows up. not realizing the absolutely necessary need for the other opposite of his personality (people who need details and follow rules diligently). SBF was always going to end up where he ended unless he had found ways to make up for his lack of details and disdain for rules. Yes it helps him take risks others wouldn't take, make money quicker than others couuld, but it also came with the risks of losing money faster than others and ending up way afoul of the society. As someone with a similar personality style (fast rough estimate calculator with little regards for deails and rules), I have no sympathy for him. He lacks the most important dimension of intelligence - emotional intelligence. His arrogance in his own intelligence wouldn't even let him see that he did.
> they lost me as a potential customer too

They probably lost a sizable percentage of those who read these comments as well.
This simply isn't true anymore. Even pre-covid, many restaurants were delivering food and it was becoming normal to box up leftovers.

I've had upmarket steakhouses offer to box up my remaining food despite them not offering delivery.

Back in the day we used to say "you choose your database once". You can swap in/out a lot of things, but your data store is really the core.

It is shockingly hard to change your storage engine once you are serving customers, so you really want to get that right.
It may depend on what's in that envelope.
But poor people suffer much more from raised rent than rich people from losing little money on dubious cryptocurrency investments. If the punishment was based not on absolute dollar amount but on damage relative to person's total amount of money then it would be more fair.
Supermarket bills don't get paid by broken business models either. If Redis Inc never existed, Redis the software wouldn't be much worse for it. I'm starting to wonder who the entitled is in the first place.

> or a global shipping service, or some SaaS app on the ethereum blockchain, then my customers will have to pay more or less (or my costs will be higher or lower) depending on how active the network is.

Only if you want to have these applications fully running on the base layer, which is frankly nonsense.

To give you one practical example: Storj can provide a object storage service at AWS scale, and its pricing has nothing to do network activity and the price of storage does not change based on the amount of transactions per minute. Unless you want to be paid in real-time and account for every byte that you are storing and transmitting, there is no need to put all of the business logic in the blockchain.
You should not add inspector as dependency. This pulls in everything.

There’s some Mongo/json alternatives in the list if you really need unstructured data.

And there’s a huge plug-in ecosystem as well for just about anything you could imagine.
You know that Algorand and Solana supports a bigger number of TPSs that Ethereum and with lower fees and different consensus mechanisms, if you don't know that I am talking about someone that tries to show expertise but don't have any real one. It is a fact.

Initial investors are also contributors. The number allocated initially is really huge.
While I agree with your sentiment, maintaining software like postgreSQL is a full time job.
But your last sentence seems to apply to everything on the internet lately. People used to do podcasts, create guitar tabs or publish cooking recipes because it was their hobby and they wanted others to participate. Now everything seems about making money.
A JSON object which is 100 MB after compression is a quite huge thing.
I used ThreeJS three years ago, but it was frequently introducing breaking changes, making it unsuitable for my game, especially since it's promoted as a rendering engine. Consequently, I created a mini-MMO-like game in PlayCanvas, which had too many bugs. With each new release, it seemed like they were breaking some features and introducing more bugs. Later, I tried Babylon.js, which had clean documentation and comprehensive examples for almost every topic. The Vertex Animation Textures (VAT) feature (https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/animatio...) was particularly impressive; I was surprised they offered it in the first place. Additionally, the community is very responsive.

I tapped "click to start" on my phone a few times, saw nothing happened and assumed it didn't work on mobile and tapped back to come read the comments. I am neuroatypical, though, maybe I don't count as human.
This isn't even going into the terrible security record Azure has had in the past two years. The only major cloud provider with cross-tenant security vulnerabilities, and tons of them at that!
There’s been many stories over the years of people being advertised to from things mentioned in what’s meant to be a private conversation.
Are you caching a keyed HMAC context? Given the data sizes, it ought to be at least one call of the SHA transform function to set the key, and one to produce the hash. They keying operation isn't dependant on the data and its result can therefore be reused.
Sometimes there is data you do strictly need but it's still sensitive. Then someone finds 0-day and relieves you of it. It would not be just or prudent for this to bankrupt anyone it happens to, who is just as much a victim as the person whose data it is.
Many things that some humans subjectively describe as beautiful have existed without humans, many even predate the evolution of humans.
Elon Musk Is Profiting Off Government Surveillance
I'm an software developer so I would have generally looked at the same area of roles.

What specifically happened though was that as I didn't pull it off with my SaaS idea during the time I had planned, so after about ~10 months I got a part time job as a developer, to continue working on the project on the side. Eventually I lost motivation though and went full time again. But had I not taken the "part-time + continue with project" route, the better idea would have been to move slightly up in career, try be an architect, team lead, etc., as planning work was what I had needed to do for my SaaS anyway, and this angle would have made sense for the hypothetical recruiting companies as well.

Perhaps there are corners in the corporate world where they look down at people who have a "tried to start their own business" section in the CV, but in my experience these are few (and you likely wouldn't want to work there anyway).
Reddit tried ads in many forms. It didn't seem to make it rain though.
While I do agree with some of the things you have previously said, and I sympathize with it, I think that "sacrifice" should be voluntary.
There is a vast chasm between a police state and our current situation.
> Opting out of privacy gives it more plausible deniability

So if you actually want to interact with the real world, you have to opt out of privacy? And if you enable privacy you are automatically treated as a weirdo? I don't get the whole point of Zcash.

It's the same issue as with Bitcoin – you can make your transactions private, but it's not the default and not obvious for new users, and anyone who does it is subject to suspicion.

It really looks to me like this "privacy" aspect of Zcash is just a marketing gimmick. It doesn't have any advantages to just using Monero in the first place.
The WSJ's 'Intense' Effort to Free Evan Gershkovich
From the article in The Register:

> "It's clearly causing confusion for some portion of users. We recognize that the average user doesn't have a law degree," Kardwell said.

Making a mistake by stuffing their terms of use with vague boilerplate legalese which could apply to anything is one thing, not taking responsibility for that mistake and clearly stating "we made a mistake" instead just means they ended up rubbing in the stain. People are forgiving of mistakes; hubris, not so much.

As others have pointed out: that line of text was not harmless, and whether you have a law degree or not is not the issue there. It was not malicious in intent, but it was wrong and overreaching nonetheless.
Hindenburg's track record of uncovering actual fraud is fairly impressive. Aren't the fraudsters here the actual leeches?

How do you adapt and order less than 1 thing?
KeyDB, the multithreaded fork of Redis, is already way faster as a KV store.
The benefits of going schemaless in the early stages of development are highly suspect in my experience. The time that one might save in data modeling and migrations comes out from the other end with shittier code that’s harder to reason about.
Exactly, languages and frameworks come and go - but get the data layer right and you’re set.
I mean this at large, but I just can't get over this "sell me a product" mentality.

You already don't need to pay; all of this is happening publication to implementation, open and local. Hop on Discord and ask a friendly neon-haired teen to set up TorToiSe or xTTS with cloning for you.

Software developers and startups didn't create AGI, a whole lot of scientists did. A majority of the services you're seeing are just repackaging and serving foundational work using tools already available to everyone.
I am sorry but I don’t think you realise how ridiculous this sounds to someone not from the west.

See, while India is building public toilets and becoming more civilised, we, with this attitude, are moving in the opposite direction.

If we can manage to maintain a toilet in Russia and India, 1st world countries somehow cannot - that’s just a statement of social distinction.

I mean yes, dealing with that is the basic responsibility of running a toilet
Surely it's correct to call him QC when writing about an event in 1986, but if it were in the present "Geoffrey Robertson KC wrote a recent memoir about his defence of Boggs...". This isn't mentioned in the Wikipedia style guide, as far as I can see, but for example the article on Princess Diana lists "spouse: Charles, Prince of Wales (later Charles III)".

Transgenderism follows the opposite convention: once you transition to a new name and gender, you do so retroactively and all existing publications about you become dated, inaccurate and offensive. But I think that's the exception here in normal writing style.

Yes, an energy system to supply the world is not a small thing, regardless of where the energy is coming from. The world is going to spend something like a quadrillion dollars on energy over the next century. There's a very large budget to do this.

I will note that the same hand wringing would apply to nuclear, only in nuclear's case it means we can't keep using today's burner reactors, since cheap uranium runs out. In contrast, we already have electrolysers (the pacing technology) at less than $3/W in China.

Something similar happened to me. I was in a hurry so I even put some money in my account, then the $2.50/mo offering was nowhere to be found. I'm guessing they have limited numbers of these and only make them available sometimes... definitely a case of false advertising.

The problem is companies externalising development work on the boring parts of their software as "community edtions" and the like. That is a very distinct category of open source project and the only one that any of these discussions revolve around.

You seem to believe that all open source projects are in this category. That is not the case. You also seem to believe that there is always one company doing the most work and everyone else is just leeching off. That is also not the case.

Wow! Thank you for doing this. It looks like a great starting point for anyone approaching deep learning from the JS ecosystem. It is very plainly written and looks like it will be a joy to learn from. Thank you for adding JSDoc comments with type hints!

Are you open to pull requests? If I have the time I'd love to contribute. I'm sure others would as well.

You should write up a short article on this, even something really simple like one of the examples in the README but with some commentary and examples of output and then post it to a few places like https://dev.to/ or maybe https://hashnode.com/ or even Medium (even though I'm not a big fan). There aren't many newer implementations of PyTorch in JS and I've been looking for one to learn from for some time so I'm sure there are a lot of other JS/TS developers out there that would be interested. Getting to the front page of HN certainly helps but having an article somewhere will help everyone after this week find it through a Google search.

Again, thanks so much for doing this work! It's really helpful to have everything spelled out in JS for those of us who haven't used Python much (I'm sure Python devs can relate when they think about JS projects).
Concur with #200. My number 1 issue with all of Microsoft's cloud offerings, especially Power Platform, is how difficult they make it for developers to get things done in large organizations.

Every tutorial and piece of documentation seems to assume you are an administrator in your tenant, and if you aren't, good luck figuring out who administers the particular combination of functionality you're fighting today.

Note that the problem here isn't the organisation's controls, it's the complete lack of discoverability of process, and integration into those processes, that is exhausting. Even a hyperlink into a templated SharePoint list with admin distribution lists as required info to activate a policy would be a game changer.

(Could the org maintain a central repo of this information? In theory. In practice it will grow stale as people/features come and go. Azure knows who administers what, and who flipped what policies on, and can tie process back to those policies correctly.)
Yeah. It's great
Back when I selected which database to get more fluent in one of the concerns I had about MySQL is that it was decribed as playing loose and fast with type casts, at least compared to Postgres.
In python when I try a new gpu accelerated array library, to write norm_arr = arr / lib.sqrt( lib.sum( arr*2, axis=-1, keepdims=True) , I have to read documentation for sum to see whther they use axis or dim in sum.

In javascript, to write the same thing I need to read documentation for a sum function, a broadcasted division function, a multiply function. I can probably assume that the sqrt function behaves and is named as I would expect

Small beans compared to stealing billions of dollars. It's astonishing how the actual crime that SBF committed is almost invisible in much of this discussion.

Then this whole discussion is pointless. Why should we care about what people say or believe, unless it can be backed by their actions?

Instead of putting them all in the same bucket because on what they said, let's judge them based on what they did. And Vitalik has consistently shown that his work is aligned with the stated plans and vision for Ethereum.
Plates getting swapped doesn't really work on NY anymore.

Even 3 weeks ago, someone rolled up to our building parking lot at night here in long Island and stole plates off a car. We had it on camera.

The cops had them arrested the next day because they drove by one of thousands of plate scanners with the stolen plates fitted on a car.

Basically even every police vehicle has plate scanners on its rear pointed forwards into both lanes.
It's all about branding and name recognition: they all profit from Redis via their cloud offerings. They have a strong incentive to support it and to have it as a viable open source project. Similar to other key opensource infrastructure.

Then their cloud-specific solutions are the up-sell (and lock-in).
