As helpful as it may be, AI can emit verbatim training data where the training data for the particular issue is scarce. I have, unfortunately, seen it myself in an interview take-home assignment where the solution for a particular sub-problem was 1:1 copied from a seemingly obscure chinese blog and had a completely different coding style than the rest. (The rest also had numerous inconsistencies and the solution had AI written all over it.)

For an open source project inadvertently accepting something like that may spell legal trouble long after the original contributor disappeared, so until the legal status of AI-generated code is clarified in court, there are good reasons to ask contributors to limit themselves or completely forego using an AI assistant.

we receive a lot of community feedback and ultimately there are only a few "primitives" developers need to solve 90% of their problems

I think we're inching closer to the complete set of primitives which can be used to combine into second-order primitives (eg: queues/search/maps can all be "wrappers" around the primitives we already provide)
Wow. So much effort in reinventing the wheel. The transaction approach is obviously not suited for integration testing as commits/rollbacks are part of the package too.

> The IAU vote happened 18 years ago, yet you can’t let it go.

The IAU happened 18 years ago but the vast public hasn’t cottened on to the whole new “cleared orbital debris” concept tacked on to a word that already has widespread use and understanding.

Mistakes don’t become not mistakes because of 18 years. The mistake was that it’s predictable that two definitions for “planet” will still be jostling each other 50 years from now - for no good reason when distinctions could be made without attempts at universal redefinition by a minority of people who use the word for highly specialized reasons.

Instead of just coining a new phrase such as “major planets” for their brand new definition.

What are regular people supposed to say now when they want to say what planet meant which includes Mercury and Pluto? “Planetary like things?”??? It’s a completely avoidable mess.
This looks great! How easy is it to self host Supabase? Is it more like "we're open-source, but good luck getting this deployed!", or can someone really build on Supabase and if things get a little too expensive it's easy enough to self-host the whole thing and just switch over? I wonder if people are doing that.
> The example is meant to be silly to demonstrate that there’s clearly some limit of what is acceptable

But you can use sensible rules for this like "does this impose a significant negative externality" that neatly allow you to exclude a landfill from a residential area but not a new residential building.

> and it’s the stricter intersection of every level of government within the bounds of what’s constitutional.

The entire question is what those laws should be. For example, should states or federal lawmakers prevent towns from imposing restrictive zoning rules, as permitted under their various constitutions?

> There’s no inherent right, whether constitutionally granted or innately, for you to build whatever you’d like, wherever you’d like. Just like I can’t go build a shack in the middle of NYC’s Central Park.

You can't go build a shack in Central Park because you don't own the land in Central Park. The issue here is when you do own the land and all you want to do is build housing during a housing shortage.

> Not necessarily. You can even alter the architecture!

You can alter the architecture, but you're still playing with an opaque blob of binary *you don't know what it's made of*.

> The analogy here is that some Linux kernel developer could have left a back door in the Linux kernel source. You're arguing that Linux would only be open source if you could personally go back to the time when it was an empty folder on Linus Torvald's computer and then reproduce every step it took to get to today's tarball of the source, including every Google search done, every book referenced, every email read, etc...

No, it is just a bad analogy. To be sure that there's no backdoor in the Linux kernel, the code itself suffice. That doesn't mean there can be no backdoor since it's complex enough to hide things in it, but it's not the same thing as a backdoor hidden in a binary blob you cannot inspect even if you had a trillion dollar to spend on a million of developers.

> The code is open, not the process that it took to get there.

The code is by definition a part of a process that gets you a piece of software (which is the actually useful binary), and it's the part of the process that contains most of the value. Model weights are binary, and they are akin to the compiled binary of the software (training from data being a compute-intensive like compilation from source code, but orders of magnitude more intensive).

> Similarly, AIs are often trained on copyrighted textbooks but the end result is open source.

Court decisions are pending on the mere legality of such training, and it has nothing to do with being open-source, what's at stake is whether or not these models can be open-weight or if it is copyright infringement to publish the models.
This is great news. Now I can utilize any CDN provider that supports S3. Like bunny.net [1] which has image optimization, just like Supabase does but with better pricing and features.

I have been developing with Supabase past two months. I would say there are still some rough corners in general and some basic features missing. Example Supabase storage has no direct support for metadata [2][3].

Overall I like the launch week and development they are doing. But more attention to basic features and little details would be needed because implementing workarounds for basic stuff is not ideal.

It shouldn't be controversial to hate and want to destroy the people who have been oppressing and murdering you and your people for decades. It's understandable. It's absurd that the oppressor can then turn around and say "Our victims hate us! We have to keep oppressing and murdering for our own security!" and that anyone would take this argument seriously.

In practice we've seen that the oppressed usually don't go on a massive revenge killing spree. Take for example the end of slavery in the US, or the end of apartheid in South Africa. Were all the white people murdered in revenge? No, even though many probably deserved it.

I'm sure most Palestinians would be open for having a single country with equal rights and no apartheid from the river to the sea shared with the Israelis. Israel will never accept this because they want to maintain their apartheid and white supremacy.
Yes, I agree! Although I should have specified that we support signed URL https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/storage-from-... just not in the S3 protocol just yet :)

I think the notation and conceptualization is needlessly confusing. Some of it relates to old, often philosophical and even theological, debates on ontological status of infinitesimals.

The difference quantinent ended up as the Official Blessed Formulation of differential calculus, but it's very rarely used in practice, even though that's how calculus is used. And in practice calculus is still done using ad-hoc infinitesimal notations, but they are some weird thing with rules of their own which very few actually know (at least I don't).

Nonstandard calculus allows using infinitesimals in algebra with more or less the usual rules. Not sure if it's not more popular due to some fundamental technical or philosophical problems, or if it's just conservatism.

Stochastic calculus is quite bizarre indeed. Never understood e.g. the "proper" formulation of continuous time Kalman filters. Just limiting the timestep to zero seems to make sense and produces the right result with some massaging, but I've understood it's not really formally correct.

It's absurd to be accusing Hamas of genocide while Israel is committing an actual genocide on the Palestinians as we speak, and has a long history of apartheid and ethnic cleansing as well. Maybe we can worry about the hypothetical genocide that Hamas might want to commit but can't due to the massive difference in military power after the genocide that is currently being committed by Israel is stopped?

When I was poor and in high school, I lived alone for a very long while in a house that my dad had started to remodel but then he got distracted by a woman and moved to her place. This meant winter in a house in the mountains literally missing a whole wall.

We lived in the middle of nowhere. I hitched rides to school from friends, neighbors, and rarely family. There was no store to steal from, so I stole food from the school.

I was on free lunch, so I'd steal an extra hamburger, sell it for half price to a kid for 50 cents, and I would use that to buy a can of soup when I could get someone to stop by the store. That would be my dinner that I cooked over a wood burning stove since I could warm up that bedroom but the kitchen was missing a wall and was _cold_ (between 20-40 Fahrenheit, but, again, poor, so no good warm clothes). My dad would give $20 every now and then, and I'd use that to buy potatoes that I'd heat in a toaster oven.

A plain potato, a school lunch hamburger, and usually a 50ish percent chance for can of soup was what I ate. I was skinny and hungry. A few years later, I would be able to eat regularly (and now I am doing more than ok), but it took nearly two decades to be comfortable throwing out a plate of food; the poor, hungry kid in me wasn't sure when the next food would come even though I now had food aplenty.
I think you can make midjourney stop by using social media pressure, but you need to improve communications. For example don't start with "I'm making 16k a month" because most will think you can afford a lawyer.

Also, I repeat, consider explaining better what you do and what exactly are they accusing you of doing wrong and why they are wrong in doing so.

Also now that I see the screenshots, the way you phrased things it did look like you were the official midjourney api, so the trademark violation is there for sure.
I think this tool must share a lot techniques and use cases with rr. I wonder how it compares in various aspects.

https://rr-project.org/

rr "sells" as a "reversible debugger", but it obviously needs the determinism for its record and replay to work, and AFAIK it employs similar techniques regarding system call interception and serializing on a single CPU. The reversible debugger aspect is built on periodic snapshotting on top of it and replaying from those snapshots, AFAIK. They package it in a gdb compatible interface.

Hermit also lists record/replay as a motivation, although it doesn't list reversible debugging in general.
Agreed. This is ridiculous.
With the ongoing clusterf*ck of streaming services only getting worse over time, I've begun dropping out of using them at all anymore and reverting to previous means. Managing your own media, even if simple, has proven to be way superior to trusting a company that changes their ways at a whim and breaks years of trust.

How long until streaming media is just as infected with adverts as everything before it, that it was supposed to replace, and someone starts a whole new thing for ad-free media and we start the circle anew?
I have read here and there that about a quarter of cowboys in the old west were Black. My dad mentioned that as a boy in the central valley in the 1930's a lot of the farm labor was done by Mexicans. Mexicans used to work their farms in the winter then head north to the US in the summer.

I would call it S3 on steroids!

Currently, it happens to be S3 to S3, but you could write an adapter, let's say GoogleCloudStorage and it will become S3 -> GoogleCloudStorage, or any other type of underline Storage.

Additionally, we provide a special way of authenticating to Supabase S3 using the SessionToken, which allows you to scope S3 operations to your users specific access control

If you think it's "laughable", what do you think tools are for? Every tool makes some difference, that's why they get used.

The better models are already at the level of a (free) everything-intern, and it's very easy to use them for high-level control of robotics.

Knowing what question you need to ask in order to not kill oneself in the process, however, is.

The angle of a very steep hill makes it easier to do a front flip, but such steep hills are an exceptional circumstance. Most of the time, experienced cyclists can safety use a great deal of front braking.

Chrome flags also apply to chromeos and most development happens behind them.

While we have more option when building app for desktop, the reason the web took over is because of the fragmentation of desktop experiences (+ potential complexity required to install desktop app) so overall, it seems it was more important to achieve interoperability and simplicity of deployment than powerful UX. Even in recent history, if you take Figma vs Sketch (which was a serious contender to Figma in terms of features and UX) Figma won because interops + no need to install.
