I suppose that's what CrowdStrike's system on Mac uses as well, then. Apparently on Linux they use EBPF and Microsoft is researching that for Windows as well: https://github.com/microsoft/ebpf-for-windows . So maybe that's actually the solution they'll go with?

It would certainly help solving this particular problem, even if not the kernel-integration in general.
It would require a dev every time someone wants to track something new.

It would require rerunning ci/cd, testing, qa to bake it in, in case it fails and breaks something.

All of that is hours of resources which translates directly into money.

With GTM, planning still occurs, organization, but someone can try something, have a debugger to iterate on, once done, hit publish. No need for dev, testing, qa, ci/cd time, breaking, reverting, etc.
There's no doubt in my mind that Altman had the right skills to run Y Co at the time when he did.

Founders are frequently dreamers and speculators, they really should have a "reality distortion field" that will get investors, employees or customers on board. The best person to bring them out has to work in that space, being able to coach founders in doing that but they have to also avoid "getting high on their own supply", being able to build and maintain trust with a phenomenal number of stakeholders, etc.

I tried hard to pick the right word because I'm aiming for something that has positive and negative connotations. "Bullshitter" is too negative but gets to the heart of the balancing act Altman has maintained.
And it only covers one scenario.

I agree the results should be free for personal use, but not for commercial use (such as training paid AIs). Training free AIs is probably fine. Similar to how it's free to use google maps in your project if your use is free to everyone, but you must pay if you're charging people to use it.
I agree with your statement on quality control issues. Also fake cigars are a huge problem. I've heard about many cases of cigars made in Cuba by "freelancers" and then sold in repurposed boxes and labels. Those aren't terrible cigars, but definitely not great.

I'll try those 2 you mentioned and see if it's to my taste. Dona Flor, made in Brazil, are pretty decent. Unfortunately they are not easy to come by near where I live.
So they could hire some mechanical turks from Africa to type prices into an Excel sheet for $5000.
Show HN: Build a business from an open source project using Gitwallet
Gitwallet is a set tools to make it easier for people to setup a business around an open source project.

Here's what you get out of the box:

1. Easy to setup commercial offerings tied to a GitHub project, like paid support, consulting or training (we provide the default legal contracts for some of these and will add more).

2. Tools to promote your services like Landing pages and Embeds for your Github.

3. Research tools to find customers that are using your open source projects. This is a actionable view of your dependents graph, and works best for projects that are distributed through a package manager.

4. Light CRM, reporting and contract management. These will eventually integrate with the best in class CRM, reporting and analytics tools.

Some more notes on our thinking: https://blog.gitwallet.co/. We think that there should be a better way for more commerce to happen around open source projects and ecosystems.

We're looking for feedback from folks within and around open source - this could be existing maintainers, contributors, and indie developers that are considering building a business around their project or expertise.

Thank you for your time & feedback!
Some are not very good, but others are. I currently have 4 different mirror lenses, two are not great but the other two are very good. One of which is an AF mirror lens!

One thing is that they are extremely sensitive to shocks causing mirror misalignment - so if your lens has ever been dropped, it’s probably lower performance than before due to the mirrors being out of wack.

In the US a PhD has many pantronizing requirements, but in the UK, where Fowler is, is much more mature, usually only requiring a thesis.
But with the war and kids and life, Fowler may have felt there was no need to get a PhD since she didn't plan to return to work as a professional physicist.

Yeah, but it’s MIT’s marketing department. Science communication is kind of their thing.

What I’ve observed is that when one person tries to summarize detailed information from another person, there are thresholds where the information passes from overly simplified to wrong. The original author is outraged by even basic simplification, well short of the wrongness threshold; but the summarizer blows past the threshold breezily as they delete words to get the text to fit.

Right, but I address this in the issue linked elsewhere in this thread: https://github.com/BurntSushi/jiff/issues/7

Like yes, scientific applications are a very valid use case for this. But scientific applications usually want other things not afforded by general purpose datetime libraries, like large time ranges and high precision. What I ask in that issue, and what I don't understand, is why folks who want leap second support aren't happy with using specialized libraries for that task, and instead request that leap second support be added to general purpose datetime libraries.
Sport, in general, is about the quest for excellence. It's a tradition that dates back millennia, across nearly all cultures, which suggests it is a deeply-rooted and possibly evolutionary trait in humans. Racing in general, and specifically the 100m dash, the crown jewel of track and field, might be considered one of the purest expressions of athletic excellence.
That being said, this does not look to be targeted at small businesses and that problem is one that is only faced by small businesses. Small operations need to have every payment system they can get their hands on (lest one of them throw the ban hammer). A killer feature for smaller operations would be multiple payment integrations.

Yes? This is literally how every human in the world does it. You put your things, according to catrgories, into their respective room/cabinet. If somebody asks you where your sweaters are, you don't say "just search the ground", you say " in the closet".

Same thing here. You don't have to guess where files are, you know by convention.

The reason is that, it's basically impossible. The issue comes down to the Library handling code. It's legacy Emby code that we've been slowly but surely trying to replace but it's a huge task. This is huge chunk of Jellyfin. Writing your own parser is a great idea, but directly hooking it into Jellyfin will just be giving yourself a lot of headaches and will NOT be easy to do.

You're best to write out NFOs and then let Jellyfin just import those with all external metadata providers removed.

> Institutional housing ownership in the US is not a material contributor to housing price inflation

This statement and citation fail to account for the impact of AirBnB and other STR market-makers on the housing market.

I strongly suspect a big part of housing price increases is the "small business" equivalent of institutional investors - someone buys 1-2 units that they do not plan to occupy and rent them as STRs. Similarly, vacation homes (aka homes that will go unused for the vast majority of the time) are now much, much more affordable if you can book a couple rentals a month to supplement a mortgage.

I'm *sure* AirBnb has some fascinating data on this, but I don't expect to ever see it in the public eye without government intervention (much as we'll likely never see Meta's studies on teen users' mental health).

tl;dr - but what about her airbnbs
While I don’t have hard evidence to support the idea, I believe this is highly variable between individuals.

I’m not a heavy coffee drinker, but I do have a cup in the mornings some time between 6:30-8:00. This makes it easy to stop as needed; there are some days where I skip it out of necessity (too busy), and occasionally I’ll go a weekend without it just to keep my tolerance in check. During these periods, I never experience adverse effects.

The main benefit I glean from coffee is not feeling awake, but notably improved ability to focus. In my experience, my baseline ability is just not as good; there’s no “bounce back” after extended periods of going without, it just stays somewhere between bad and average indefinitely.
It might also be a great thing.

Lots of systems and nature have competing frameworks. The left and right hemisphere of the brain, muscle systems, multipole organisms, etc.

The far worst risk to the US is financial incentives in place by government policy that push companies to do less and less basic research.
I want to migrate from C++ because these languages are fashionable and hip and have more developers available and because migration with regular expressions is easy, apparently.

Not only this is a feature that I, as paying Proton Mail user do not need, but having it as a premium option will probably end up pestering me in every possible way: emails, UI elements, popups, etc., to upgrade to feature I absolutely detest. I tried to get away from Google and their nonsense, but actually ended up in the same place. Are there any decent email only providers left, without "AI" and load of unnecessary apps that they keep purchasing each week?

And still, no Proton Drive for Linux.

Which text-to-video generator do you recommend?

Given that people are generally bad at giving accurate estimates, the story points is asking the question in a different way, it's asking "what's the likely complexity of implementing this?" rather than "how long would it take to implement this?", because people are likely to be too optimistic on the time estimate, and more likely to be accurate on the complexity estimate.

It is a multi-step estimating process to arrive at more accurate estimates:

1. estimate complexity via story points, filter out features that will be implemented according to the "complexity budget"
2. break the features down into sub-tasks
3. estimate the time it takes to do each task
Perhaps not verified, but some smart people do have convincing arguments:

I suspect that this also depends on field. CS has been hot for a long time now, it's also not extremely expensive to make a dent - or particularly unlikely. In Physics, we graduate an order of magnitude more Phds than there are posts for Phds. There are few remunerative fields which hire Phd physicists.

Temporal benefits from the JodaTime/Java 8+ date work, but also includes more recent IETF and IANA standards as other influences.
> I think you have the priority backwards. We shouldn’t be relying on trusting the QA process of a private company for national security systems. Our systems should have been resilient in the face of Crowdstrike incompetence.

I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about Crowdstrike having a staging environment, I was talking about their customers. So 911 doesn't go down immediately once Crowdstrike pushes a bad update, because the 911 center administrator stages the update, sees that it's bad, and refuses to push it to PROD.

I think that would even provide some resiliency in the fact of incompetent system administrators, because even if they just hit "install" on every update, they'll tend to do it at different times of day, which will slow the rollout of bad updates and limit their impact. And the incompetent admin might not hit "install" because he read the news that day.

The real cause of mistake was a single point of failure where there was no A/B testing, no gradual deployment nothing. To say that banning AV from kernel would prevent this is not just hilarious but disingenuous and shows complete lack of knowledge of operations and deployment. There's no golden rule which says that Windows cannot make these errors.
It derives from an expression deep in the history of Usenet or e-mail (hyphenated), when hapless newbies (two syllables) were told by harried sysops to RTFM, read the f* manual.

I don't think your second paragraph follows your first. Just because you're doing an activity like sprinting solo doesn't mean there aren't social elements. The Olympics this summer will prove that hundreds of million if not billions of people can come together around sprinting, and several dozen other extremely specific and narrow activities, if only for a brief time.
> Those who sit at or near the apex of the social ladder (who decide what behaviors are prestigious) have decided that family stability is unimportant.

The author unironically writes this after pointing out that research shows that affluent families the share of families with biological parents has only dropped to 85% from 95% while the share for poor families has dropped to 30% from 95%.

The idea that the social apex has decided that family instability is unimportant is disproved by the numbers the author themselves shows.

But most such narratives are based on grievances and not facts. So it’s not surprising that the author makes claims that are not only not backed by evidence but are disproved by all the evidence the author themselves includes in their article.

Ryanair had previously send Cease & Desist letters to Booking.com so they were very explicitly unauthorized Booking.com from accessing their website.

The part that annoys me is the losses are redacted [1]. Judging by the length of the redaction its much more than the $5000 they were ultimately awarded. I'm also very unclear what harm will actually befall Ryanair if the losses weren't redacted.

Sure. I was replying to a comment in which worker ownership and worker leverage were being equated with "the gulag", a collective term for the Soviet Union prison/labor camp system.

To illustrate that large-scale freedom, ownership, and autonomy do not result in labor camps, I provided Mondragon as a productive counter-example.

Mondragon is a federation of worker-owned cooperatives that netted €593 million on €11 billion in revenue in 2023, and which did not make use of a forced labor camp or prison system to achieve these results. Instead, they use widely distributed equity ownership and democratic control of the workplace to create a good work environment and a healthy culture.

Since the comment I was replying to did not invest any words in supporting their comparison of worker ownership with a system of forced labor camps, I responded in spirit, inviting them with a minimum of words and effort to investigate possible counter-examples to their mental model.
Yeah, I use the specialized libraries. But in Python, this has been painful: the good astronomy library is Astropy’s Time, but everyone uses datetime. So if I want to use a third library - for my database, or for making plots, or whatever - it will use datetime, and now I have to think really hard about how to do conversions. You can imagine how hard that is to get right!

Since Jiff hopes to be ubiquitous (I think? Seems that way) it would be nice if this sort of thing could be avoided. Time is such a fundamental in many APIs that having one common library is very important.

NIMBY seems to be one of the intrinsic faults of democracy. Some people really don't like any change happening around them, and, once empowered, will go to great lengths to stop anything from happening.

This is probably something that democratic states need to address by reducing such empowerment. Much like your neighbor cannot tell you what to cook for dinner - even if he is a vegetarian and hates the smell of meat - he shouldn't be able to tell you not to build a house in his proximity.
I would not disagree.
Quite obviously, minimum wage is many times higher in the US.
To be honest, it's right around a line that I feel is fine to make this request.

The thing that triggered this, that isn't really mentioned by me in the post, is that we've had a few sudden swells of donations around both the 10.9.0 release and the latest 2 Plex kerfuffles, and I get the very distinct impression that people donating are not reading all the "fine print" about what we use it for.

We also have a lot of recurring donations which should pay for a huge chunk. The goal here is to basically just make another public "hey, we never really asked for donations, and we appreciate it, but hey for now we'd rather you donate to individuals than the org since the org can coast on this money for a few more years". Which we absolutely can. I can't envision any real situation that would require us to use a huge sum of this money in one go, so it's really just the monthly recurring costs to cover which are relatively stable and consistent.
