We have been working on NocoBase for 3 years, and our team has just grown beyond single digits. Two weeks ago, we upgraded the version number to 1.0-alpha. In the past 12 months, our total revenue was $315,000. This number is not much, but it has already exceeded our expectations.

Additionally, we have met many users and friends from around the world, which is an even more valuable gain for us.

We are very lucky that Alsup seems to be handed so many of these cases. I don’t always entirely agree with his rulings on every point, but I am always incredibly reassured to see his name attached to an important case. I know the decision will be fair, informed, and not cause major problems for society or industry.

Obligatory mention that Alsup taught himself Java so that he would have confidence evaluating arguments and evidence for Oracle vs. Google.

Also I read this decision, and thought it was unusually well written, even for him. It’s unsurprising that he took notice of hiQ vs. LinkedIn but he made it very clear why this case did not intersect with that decision. I’m happy with this case because it clarifies the legal landscape even further for a broad swath of the industry. The scraping niche is still a place where many young entrepreneurs cut their teeth on their first enterprises, and it will be nice for them to avoid costly legal battles relitigating this common issue.
They already did this way back with their other telemetry stuff. You had to disable it through about:config and then Mozilla introduced new flags/renamed them and even added a flag if you have disabled telemetry that you had to disable again manually.

While the taking notes part is great, its all the other workflows that don't seem to fit in (for me). While taking notes, I need to lookup a technical term or have some document open, or load up a project planning tool to enter task related notes, etc. Other times, I need to review/mark-up/highlight technical documents, some of them are in an email, some are in sharepoint, some are on my desktop. Some are controlled documents that I can only use through a separate document warehouse system, etc, etc.

Number 1: Booking.com has never prevented hotels from providing booking through other sites.

Number 2: Booking.com has always demanded that any room sold by them cannot be cheaper anywhere else. Every third party seller demands this. Hint: You don't have to sell all of your rooms through booking.

This rule could destroy booking.com depending on how it is enforced, since hotels could then just use them as a free advertising platform.

Number 3: Seems fair.

Number 4: They've always done this.

Number 5: They don't own any hotels AFAIK

Number 6: What do they mean?

All in all, it seems the regulators do not understand at all what they are regulating. After decades of online reservations being the norm, hotels should only blame themselves if they've become dependent on third parties such as booking.

The whole point of water cooling on electronics is that the closed loop cycles the vapor away from the heat generating part and is then cooled by a radiator, making it condense back to a liquid and flow back to the hot thing, so whoever wrote that line is severely misinformed.

The British viewed the Irish through Malthusian theory, whose moral and cultural failings they attributed to the cause of the famine. They effectively blamed the Irish peasantry for having too many children while living in a state of poverty, which they viewed as irresponsible. Despite this being as a direct result of their occupation and sectarianism.

The monoculture of potato was solely due to the tenant system imposed on Irish subsistence farmers by the British ruling classes. Ireland remained a net exporter of food during the famine. The supposed 'charity' mainly took the form of workhouses - which were effectively Hospices

https://irishworkhousecentre.ie/

One incredible exception was the Choctaw Nation who, fresh off the trail of tears, were so moved by the plight of the Irish peasant that on March 23, 1847, they donated $170 for Irish Famine relief. This was at the height of “Black 47,” when close to a million Irish were starving to death.

To put it simply, Malthus' theory states that famine is caused by overpopulation. Thus the British, by their own basis of justification, deliberately reduced the Irish population. The people targeted were deprived of culture, security, health, and life. They were targeted for reasons of ethnic and cultural intolerance. Ergo constituting Genocide.

The alternative? The aforementioned Workhouses or the aptly named 'Coffin Ships'

> Water cooling in servers works the same as in desktops, just with way bigger radiators.

Data centers have separate systems to remove heat from the entire datacenter. These are often evaporative coolers, which means the water is evaporated away.

A better analogy would be the HVAC system for your house. Your computer dumps heat into the house, the HVAC system removes the heat from the house to the environment. It's the latter part that uses evaporative cooling in many data centers.

Yeah, if you see it that way then I think we agree.

croes's point, I believe, about the astrology was that we know today that LLMs will produce bad results and that they can't be trusted. Yet the hype is sort of at a "Well, if we just give it more time maybe that problem goes away". Similar to how in astrology "if you just think about it right, the prediction was actually accurate".

That's where I see the parallels with 3d printing. There was a sort of "We can print anything with enough time!" even though by and large the only printable things were plastic toys.
It seems to me that "climate change will cause some unfortunate problems that we'll wish we'd dealt with sooner" is a qualitatively different prediction than the kind of "collapse" the source article is describing. They expect we'll lose modern medicine and the Internet!

This was the idea of Itanium. It failed mostly because of economics.

It turns out programmers, or rather their employers, don't really care about using hardware efficiency. They care about shipping things yesterday, because that's how business deals get closed, and making software efficient is secondary to money changing hands. Performance never really matters to business people after the checks are cashed.

Multicore computers have been ubiquitous for more than a decade, yet the overwhelming majority of software built today is single-threaded microservices, where in they spend most of their time serializing and deserializing message payloads.

This is all really to say that most performance is already being left on the table for the majority of what computers are used for today.
I tried it out.

I asked if it can generate a voice clip. It said it can’t on the chat.

I asked it where can it make one. It told me to use Audacity to make one myself. I told it that the advertisement said it could.

It’s a hilarious joke.

That headline is misleading (and should probably be updated. 25x more energy than a search, not 25x more than the company. Which anyone who knows anything about the two things could tell you - one is running inference, the other is a database lookup. In fact, I'd be surprised if it's only 25x in that case.

Remember, we're talking the 1960s. Solar panel technology was not very good. Hydro is nice, but it is economically destructive (which is why in the PNW the dams are being removed). There is also not remotely enough hydro power even if all the rivers were dammed. Nuclear power was not stopped by oil companies, it was stopped by activists.

The Haber-Bosch process converts air to fertilizer, and results in about 1% of global emissions. Eliminating that would quickly cut the population by several billions.

Removing oil (and coal) from the economy in 1960 would have necessitated the population being reduced to 1800 levels. Such a decline would inevitably result in absolutely massive wars, and we all know how environmentally destructive wars are.

As for government run agriculture, the USSR is hardly the only example of its massive failure. Government run agriculture always results in famine.

The idea that our oil reliance is all because of evil oil companies is simply absurd.

P.S. I remember, back in the 1970s oil crisis, there was a lot of talk about the oil companies buying up patents for 200mpg carburetors, and keeping them off the market. I ask my dad about that (career military) and he bust out laughing. He said the military runs on oil (recall my remarks about crippling enemy oil being a goal of all the major combatants). There was no way in hell the military would eschew use of 200mpg patents regardless of any silly patent laws.

> closed circuit cooling systems don't evaporate any fucking water.

Nobody uses closed circuit cooling systems anymore. Pretty much every datacenter is cooled by evaporative (open loop) cooling.

The enthalpy of vaporization of water is pretty high, so for a relatively large energy use, they only need to evaporate quite small amounts of water. A single household water supply (10GPM), on full blast, could cool 1.5 megawatts of computers - a small datacenter.

Right and if your entire knowledge about PE was watching Barbarians at the Gate and/or reading about Martin Shkreli, you’d come to that conclusion, just as if your entire knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry was based on Purdue Pharma.

LBO is just one type of PE, and even among LBO, there are lots of stories about firms fixing a business. For every K-Mart there’s a Dollar General.

And even with the K-Mart type stories, those businesses were 100% failing without intervention anyway. They might have done so in a way that was better for shareholders, and that’s an egregious example. But they’re not generally parting out thriving companies and leaving banks holding a bunch of bad debt. Banks are smart and good companies are almost always better off whole, just as a running car is almost always worth more than the parts.
