I would add that 1. Earthly is meant for full CI/CD use-cases, not just for image building. We've forked buildkit to make that possible. And 2. remote caching is pretty slow overall because of the limited amount of data you can push/pull before it becomes performance-prohibitive. We have a comparison in our docs between remote runner (e.g. Earthly Satellites) vs remote cache [1].

The fun thing about the RAM was that although the retail units only had 64MB, they shared the motherboard design with the devkits which had 128MB, and if you sourced a second set of RAM chips you could fully populate the board and build a 128MB retail unit. That was useful for some homebrew, and also made it possible to play games built for the Sega Chihiro arcade platform, which used the Xbox architecture but had the full 128MB of RAM installed and allowed games to use all of it.

If you were brave enough to replace a BGA chip you could upgrade the CPU as well, the stock one was an off-the-shelf 733mhz Pentium which happened to have a 1.4ghz counterpart, and surprisingly swapping the CPU out for the faster one mostly just worked. The faster chips were electrically compatible, but Intel only packaged those as socketed desktop parts, so people designed these wacky interposer boards to re-route the pins to the correct places on the Xboxes BGA footprint.

I didn't say anything about more data points. I'm talking about insurers being able to properly gauge whether existing customers are adhering to the terms of their policy, or whether they're free-riding off the premiums of their neighbors by defrauding the insurer.

Fun fact - Morrowind for the Xbox occasionally rebooted the whole console when running low on memory. A splash screen would remain displayed, so the user would have no idea this was happening. The Xbox only had 64MB of DDR1 RAM.

IMVHO people do not need "automated fact verification" as a source of trust we can't trust, but summarizers: most FLOSS users and not so few computer users in the largest sense do use feeds, but they got many posts per day and some days they like to read them all, some others they are busy. Tools to skim news and offer a sort of index to decide what to see, a kind of smart scoring is much more interesting.

In Brazil, everyone has freedom of speech, but it's important to be aware of the consequences of your words. Elon Musk is referring to people who have been censored, who are generally associated with the far right and considered criminals according to our country's laws. These individuals include advocates for the creation of a Nazi party, those who support seizing power through armed struggle, and those involved in the attack on our capital and attempted coup. While some decisions by Minister Alexandre de Moraes may be debated, they are grounded in our constitution. It's important to note that we don't live in a state of censorship, but rather in a country with laws that differ significantly from those of the United States.

would love to try this out myself. seems like there are lighter solutions than relying a giant LLM
In my engineering courses, Fourier transforms were taught in the context of discrete fourier transforms. Because sampling is a thing that matters (computer audio is discrete data points, not an actual wave).

The Fourier transform of a discrete signal repeats in the frequency domain. For example, [1, -1, 1] could be a sine wave with the exact half of the sampling frequency going from 1 to -1 back to 1 once .... Or it could be a sine wave with double the sampling frequency that is actually going from 1 to -1 to 1 to -1 all within the gap of the first 2 samples. Or it could be 3x the sampling frequency, 4x the sampling frequency, etc. The solution is to only keep the part of the transform that is below the Nyquist limit, because we don't have a sampling rate accurate enough to measure the higher frequencies, so just assuming they dont exist. This also means that if the source signal WAS in fact 4x the sampling frequency, we will see a spike at 1/2 the sampling frequency in the fourier transform, and when we re-create the signal, it will be completely wrong.

So unless you have analog hardware for measuring the Fourier transform (or are working purely in a non-physical mathematical domain, like "i have a sine wave" which can be perfectly represented), you are naturally going to be taking discrete samples of a signal to measure the Fourier transform, which means you are going to be losing any part of the signal that doesn't adhere to sampling rates.

Because my engineering courses were so heavily focused on digital signal processing, when I hear "fourier transform" i immediately think of "discrete fourier transform" and loss is immediately applicable.

> There are such guarantees provided for most types of other goods.

There is? Like what. Software is unique in this aspect that it may require external sources to work.

At absolute best we have a warranty for hardware or a guarantee that food will be good until an expiration date. But I can't think of a single other thing that you spend money on that would have a guarantee that is anything like requiring the company to open source their server side infrastructure if they shut down the online services.

It isn't an expiration date. In most situations, they are not publishing a game saying, oh we are going to shut this down in 3 years. No, they are hoping it will succeed, that they can continue to make money selling DLC for as long as they can.

If the game flops or just doesn't have enough players at some point, then yeah it will shut down. But that isn't an expiration date when it is announced.

I am not going to argue about "Little Timmy" since their parents should understand this well. It isn't line games are the only online services that ever shut down and you loose time, money, etc.

I don't understand how this is so hard to comprehend, we are mixing 2 distinct problems here. One is actual online DRM, which I agree with is bad.

The other one is an online game that eventually runs its course and is shut down. That happens.

As far as labels go, I checked all of my xbox games and it is clear that the online component can cue changed at any point. Obviously it doesn't give an expiration date since one doesn't exist as of time of publishing. But the notice is there and should be well understood by this point.

Again my problem with the OP is trying to call GaaS "Online DRM" which it frankly isn't. They tried to say "it isn't about MMO"s while MMO is one of the few FAQ.

You, the rogue trampoline owner, aren't really the party that the insurer is worried about. Your kid's best friend's parents are. (And it's not a broken arm they're really freaked out about --- don't make a homeowners claim over a broken arm, probably; it'll cost you more in the medium term --- it's death or paralysis, both of which will put millions of dollars on the line).
And taxed less. And get better services (depending on jurisdiction, of course).
The next hurdle to create distributed social media seems to be distributed likes and follows. Those are the social currencies of today's generation.

In a centralized system, you trust the central authority to show the correct number of likes a post got and the correct info who liked a post. Same for number of followers and who follows whom.

Do any of these 3 protocols have an approach to do the same in a decentralized world?

People seems to be forgetting that to poach talent, talent has to exist.

The only way a US company would even know the person exists is if they were doing amazing work in the respective country, meaning they, by definition, did amazing work in their country (breakthrough, papers, etc) all then pointing to benefit for said country because, again by definition, they haven't left yet.

Once that happens, if it happens, the person can choose to go to the US, or not. Not everyone desires to live here, regardless of money.

Sole proprietorship doesn't have liability protection. That's not a small thing.

>You shouldn't (and cannot) go all the way to the complexities of a GmbH (LLC) if your company is that tiny.

"[Thing] is too complex, don't bother with it" is not an argument against making [thing] less complex. It's actually just a restatement of the problem!

Other countries make it easy to set up a limited company. UK, US, Singapore, they're all just a token fee and a handful of forms. I see no reason for Germany to make it so difficult as described in the article.

A lot of successful companies were started by broke college grads out of their dorms; they would never have gotten off the ground if they had to scrounge together the equivalent 25k euros before even getting started. Hell, I don't have a spare 25k lying around and I've been working full time for 4 years.

Having been on the receiving end of similarly phrased requests, I can assure you that was nowhere close to trolling.

The fact that the OP is not easy to reach is not an oversight on their end. Take a hint and go through channels that they left open, i.e. issues on GH.

> Working for living is a problem to be solved.

I strongly, viscerally disagree with this. People (mostly) need to feel like they are capable agents and also like they are contributing to something larger than themselves. I’ve seen friends struggle to get a job and find their place in the world; sitting alone at home and watching TV for weeks straight is an inhuman way to exist, and that’s where a lot of people will end up without work, as the average person seems to be pretty terrible at stimulating themselves intellectually.

Note that this doesn’t strictly require capitalism or a 40 hour workweek or anything like that. Since AI is so great at solving everything, maybe one day it can organize the distribution of work to keep the remaining humans busy. I don’t know.

I have yet to see a single example of AI replacing someone and doing their job.

A lot of these "certain delay for 'correct' response" rat feeder types of mechanics. Even when you know "the hit" is pointless or a waste, still heavily compelling anyways.

For kitchen table startups that nevertheless deal in important data, having reliable managed PostgreSQL for much lower cost than AWS RDS would be awesome.

The main thing I'm looking for in managed PostgreSQL isn't "installation" -- that's easy -- what I need is not to have to spend weeks of configuring and testing and drilling, to be reasonably confident that I won't lose customer data.

I see DigitalOcean does PG standby servers, and daily backups, but I'm unclear on whether they're doing separate, say, WAL-based backups.

The couple mentions I saw of "PITR" seemed to conflate that with the daily backups.

There's a partial description of the UI, but it's still unclear: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/...

> In the Create a new cluster from a backup window that opens, choose whether you want to restore to the latest transaction available or choose a point in time,

What's the "latest transaction available"?

(Is it to moments before someone ripped the cables out of the storage server? Or is it the most recent daily backup, which might've been 23 hours ago?)

> By default, the name is the original databases’ name appended with the date of the backup and the word “backup”, like originalname-aug-13-backup.

I don't want to be trying urgently to recover the businesses of myself and my customers, and find myself asking design questions akin to "Why isn't this a UTC ISO date/timestamp?" but more like "Why are the backups done in such a way that they can't be restored for this ordinary failure scenario that just happened?"

I don't see any technical reason that a cloud provider can't give enterprise DBA confidence at kitchen table startup rates, but I'd feel silly for assuming that they do.
Just because he beat the odds, doesn’t mean their advice was wrong.
Why not just run Postgres with it's files on a ramdisk?

I went down the deep dive of “falsehoods programmers believe about names” [1] and on my most recent project, made the name field a completely open ended text field; let the users type what they want.

It ended up being a quick mistake, especially marketing a product intended only for western audiences anyway. Any integration you do with third party software expects first and last names. So do email templates and form fields. So do actual users when they upload or download cvs files.

Same story, I’m sure, with addresses. There are benefits with the flexibility of a long open-ended text field, but with that flexibility, a ton of other things will be a pain in the ass.

Not really a project, just a template of paper letter following french and italian typographic conventions with a qr for automatically import a vcard of the sender and another + a short URL to download a pdf copy of the same paper letter from a URL.

Ideally it's just a way to tell people "ok, we still use paper sometimes, but paper should been able to work with bits as well, so for instance any printed document should be offered with a way to retrieve and original one like a pdf, and if the document itself is signed the digital original should be digitally signed as well".

So far many countries in the world have started norms and some conventions to bridge the gap but no system is really widespread. Qr are widespread, URLs are well known stuff, vcard as well, so it's just a thing I've made because I have had to write a paper letter, I do like LaTeX and automation and I do dislike wasting time scanning things. Marginally since I bough a set of double windows envelopes well, the template much the envelope to print it quickly, new WE I'll made an envelope template since where I live (France) I discovered that beside send a pdf to local post service to get it printed and mailed I can also send something myself buying a pdf stamp to be printed on paper... As I said not really a project but, might count as a project I think :-)
