If that is your way of saying, that there was never peace in that region among the 3 Abrahamic faiths, then you are highly mistaken. Seems history loves to be forgotten and rewritten.
The author may well be on to something but personally I hate "story mode" in popular science books, and would really hate it in actual science papers, both the ones I read for work and the ones I read for fun. I want to go straight to the equations -- often I prefer them to the graphs.

But (not joking here) this is a perfect opportunity for an LLM -- two opportunities, actually.

LLM A takes a dry paper and gives it context. It could make up the context but a good one would look up and offer an anecdote from Riemann's life or something. I see nothing wrong with that.

And LLM B could take a paper with that stuff, which to me is fluff, and strip it all out, leaving the dry bones for me to pick over and savour.

It would really just be another form of language translation, if a higher level one.

Idea: automatically name variables and members of structs based on how code interacts with them.

Eg. The next pointer in a linked list should be easy to identify as 'next'.

That would be done by downloading all of GitHub, then seeing what variables in GitHub code have the most similar layouts and interactions, and then if the confidence is high enough, using those names.
> he will be using it without knowing.

I will know. Not because of the "little green lock".

I will know in the same way I know this site is secure. In this case, because of PKCS #1 SHA-256 (aka CKM_SHA1_RSA_PKCS_PSS). Cert issued by DigiCert Global Root G2 and valid until one second before midnight UTC on 3/29/31.

That's where I guess I'm losing sight of the vision.

It's tested, it's proven, it's secure, it works, no "gas", no fees ... I don't know. Maybe I'm just missing something.

I suggest using "spooky correlation" to better explain this. It's just a forced correlation of two parameters after all. To make entanglement, we make an experiment where we force system to behave in a way that correlates results of two parameters. When we measure one, we know the other is correlated in a way that was set in our experiment. "Spooky" because it can hold at vast distances and across time.
The risks of childbirth for a healthy woman, even 40+, are negligible. And the worst of issues for the child, like Downs, can be screened for with perfect accuracy. The most difficult part with aging is actually getting to the point of childbirth!

I also would emphasize that it's not like not having a child is without issues. Much of the West, including the US, is already suffering with from increasing isolation, depression, and other such issues. And aging, especially without family, is likely to only exasperate these issues. Friends that will last forever, don't. And it becomes more and more difficult to meet new people as you age. Places like Japan and South Korea may be a foreshadowing of where we're headed, and it's not pretty. See things like kodukushi - lonely deaths. [1]

No, a non-commercial license is not a natural born person only license. If you're a human you get to use the GPL to your hearts content. If you're a corporation you do not.

It's not a hard concept to understand, but it does mean people can't steal from the commons so they spend a lot of time trying to not understand it.

The GNU project has failed at getting source code to users so badly that despite owning a half dozen GPL based devises I have no access to the source code of any of them.

People need to make money somehow. Developers who spend years creating, maintaining, and continually improving an open source database (or other project) used by millions deserve compensation. This doesn't apply as much to Redis Labs since they swooped in much later, but the general principle of trying to monetize your project with source-available licenses doesn't feel unethical to me.

You're right that it's probably not a great business model most of the time, but what is a good business model to collect some of the value you've produced from dedicating years of your life to something loved by millions of people? It's certainly less sketchy than monetizing a free service with ads, or something.

Some possible counterarguments:

1. Mathematics is a lot more abstract than it used to be.

2. Mathematics is a lot more specialised than it used to be.

3. Non-mathematical content is inaccessible to those who don't read English.

4. Space in academic journals is too precious to waste on inessential content.

5. The style is part of a universal mathematical culture so you should fit in.

6. There are many alternative places to publish nontechnical academic writing.
My issue with Apple has been less about green vs blue text and more about how they lockout to lockin. In effect you can’t make equally competing products around and on the iPhone unless Apple supports and has decided the API, or user default options for the OS is safe for their business to make public. Innovation around the phone is steered and gatekept by Apple for when Apple is ready, not if the hardware is. This article makes a good point about the iPod and iTunes on Windows.

There are lesser known examples of policy based lockouts like mobiussync for syncthing being held back by background scheduling limitations or that bit torrent software isn’t allowed.

Then also there’s the issue of control center only allowing Apple builtin (unchangeable) default app controls… when interestingly a number of these have become more than just preinstalled conveniences but are now also fronting funnels to an iCloud subscription.

>This point of view could be applied to any word, and the extreme result is that you'd negate meaningful or useful communication, or that someone would have to be the arbiter of what is a legitimate concept or not.

False. <- see? There's a word that doesn't apply. But you're not wrong. This POV does apply to MANY words. It just goes to show how MANY debates are traps. You think you're discussing something profound but it's just vocabulary.

>Between vocabulary, commonly understood meaning, possible meaning, and actual personal experience, there are many detours and jumps. "Dog" as a word, concept/meaning, and experience, has these issues. What's not a dog, which dog are you thinking about, and does this apply to "dog" or just those specific dogs you've experienced? Etc.

Right. So your example illustrates my point. Is it profound and meaningful to spend So much time discussing what is a dog and what isn't a dog? What is the definition of the word dog? No. It's not. Same. With. Consciousness. It's not profound to discuss vocabulary.

>It seems like you're trying to flatten a person's curiosity about the implications of a shared concept or experience into a "mundane" phantasm about a word whose referent is either nonsensical or nonexistent to you.

No I'm just stating reality as it is observed. The essence of a debate about consciousness is rationally and logically speaking entirely a vocabulary problem. This isn't even an attempt to "bend" anything to lean my way. The ultimate logical interpretation of any situation involving a debate on what is consciousness and what is not conscious is a vocabulary problem. Literally. Read the last sentence.

>I think that the gaps between word, concept, and experience, while confusing and difficult, are worthy of more respect and wonder than to just flatten them as though their existence didn't imply something potentially important and essential is happening there. Language arose because we have actual experience to share, however tricky it can be to verbalize. It doesn't work perfectly, and leads to confusion, but here we are, reading and writing.

Made up concepts also arise from words. Gods, goddesses, spirit, monster, hell, dryad, minitour, Cerberus. The existence of made up concepts logically speaking means that it's possible "consciousness" is a made up concept.

>"Consciousness" may be a word for a slippery concept/experience, but that doesn't equate to questions about consciousness being inherently semantic.

It does. Each question about consciousness is inherently relating the word to another semantic word. This is literally what's going on.
Love the idea. Only issue I had with was the $$$ bit, it's not clear what I am looking at. Think there should be an option to see a approximate ranges in $ for the trips.

Certainly interesting but I'm not sure I see where this would be worthwhile for someone to attempt adversarially vs using a license plate reader.

My point is, the need for semantics is a human construct, it's not required to solve practical problems. Practical value of MVT is that we can apply it in the process of describing a solution, i.e. an algorithm. But if you have a SAT algorithm that can somehow inherently apply a finite instance of MVT, you no longer need to know what MVT is.

And this is at the heart of P vs NP question, how to solve SAT, and once we understand that, all the math that is about solving equations (i.e. that of practical value) will become very boring. Kinda like when a game becomes solved with a computer.

(This reminds me of Chomsky and Norvig debate on the machine learning and nature of understanding. I wouldn't think I would take Norvig's position, yet here we are.)

Addendum: I am also not arguing that computers writing proofs are a necessity for this, but rather efficiently (as possible) solving SAT instances. You don't need to state a hypothesis (and thus prove it) for an infinite number of cases to solve practical problems.

I am also not judging value of math - yeah, it is fun. All I am saying it inherently has a human dimension in the sense we don't need it (assuming we have an efficient SAT solver) to solve practical problems.
i had a meeting at Frog once and saw one of these (or a similar design) off in the corner.
I swear, Reddit had a golden goose:

- their software stack was relatively simple and easy to maintain

- their moderators were volunteers who worked for free & loved their job (as opposed to FB who are hiring them for 30/hour)

- their expenditures were very low for a company of that scale.

- third-party developers built great apps for free and boosted the site, and this was when Reddit team didn't have the resources to build a proper app of their own (they ended up acquiring Alien Blue, one of the favorite apps of that time and adopted it as their mobile client)

They had a huge presence for minimal expenditure, and they let it all go with more & more short-sighted decisions. Quite sad to see something just decay like this.
I'm curious if this started/accelerated when they switched to only accepting super special stamps that only their super special machine can determine whether they're genuine and unused? That would sure be a coincidence.

> The thing is, this kind of license is only really relevant to the kinds of projects that do have legal teams

So you want to advocate that every future database / infrastructure company needs to burn part of their runway to hire lawyers to do the repetitive work of making sure they can both try to be open and try to continue to exist? Plus we, the users, get to try to decode reams of legalese instead of using a convenient three-letter handle for an industry standard, like GPL or MIT? This does not seem ideal..

> Source available is good, better than proprietary

“Source available” is a subcategory of proprietary, not “better than proprietary”.

I think most people that orefer open source to proprietary software either care about the business benefits open-source provides over proprietary (including source-available) software or have an ideological affinity for Free Software, occasionally both.

Perhaps we need a different way to fund database development (not necessarily a single company monetizing it).

If the service you provide is hosting DBs, you are are at an inherent disadvantage competing with hosted db offerings form your potential customers' cloud provider. Even if your product is technically superior in every way, you are another entity they have to do business with (billing, support, contracts, security evaluations, etc.), which adds friction, and either you host on your own infrastructure, which means higher network latency, and network costs to get data to and from your customer's cloud, or you have hosting options that run inside all the major cloud providers, in any regions your customers use, which means you (or your customer) ends up paying the hyperscaler for the infrastructure, and you have the added complexity of having to know how to manage it on multiple cloud platforms. And there there is also the fact that it is much more difficult for you to build integration with the cloud's IAM or other services.

Basically, most cloud customers would rather use a service that is part of the cloud platform than from another provider. Ideally, instead of competing with the hyperscalers, they would sell some service to the hyperscalers that have the ir own hosted services. But I don't know how to get there.

As a brief sidenote, AFAICT this isn't what happened with the hashicorp license change, for them it seems like the pressure largely came from startups, not the big cloud companies.
Dystopic and deeply negative works of scifi date to the literal start of the modern genre. There's nothing at all new about using negative projections to critique or satirize the interests of the time. See: Gulliver, Frankenstein, Captain Nemo, the unnamed protagonist of The Time Machine, etc.

I think it is informative to look at the 1981 Macintosh business plan (https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/2009/1027...) page 6 "Clustering of Retail System Prices" - Apple has a machine in the 3 top bands out of 4 (note the sub-Macintosh VLC, "Very Low Cost" targeting home market, envisioned by Jobs, in his other document from that time with 5 bands (that I couldn't find today) it was in its own sub-$1K band - ultimately came 30 years later as iPad and iPhone), and 2 pages down there is a slogan "The Advantage of a Product Line is that Each Individual Product Does not have to Do Everything". As far as I see a thing like Jonathan just didn't fit there.

I don't think that was implied, but rather the sun does, what the sun does and we do, what we do. If we do not have free will, but every action, every thought is a determined reaction of the state of things, than we would also be "trapped". But we do not (normally) perceive it as such. We experience our lives and we live it. We act. Even though our actions might come from a deep automatism. For the sun it might be the same, just on a whole different level.
