> Nowadays it is increasingly likely that my effort is eventually going to be relicensed and repackaged into non-free software without my consent, and no one (not even me myself) will be allowed to continue to benefit from my work.

I disagree with the conclusion you have drawn here. In the scenario you describe, you (and everyone else) can continue to benefit from your work. The original project is still there, it's still just as useful and open as the day you made your contribution. How then is anyone prevented from continuing to benefit?
Based on the intonation, I'm guessing it's a "loyalty" card - it tracks your purchases, unlocks some level of default discounts, and will often accrue points you can then use for various purposes. Giant Eagle in the US is a good example - you earn points for every dollar spent, then you can redeem the points for percent off gas at their gas station, a percent off coupon, etc.

(the above description is very bland - add in anti-capitalist/m messaging wherever you deem appropriate, I won't argue)
For the past couple of decades at least, supercomputers are decommissioned when newer HW becomes so much more power efficient that it's cheaper to buy new hardware than keeping the old one running. Usually that lifespan is in the range of five years or so.

Of course, if you have free power (or say, the power bill is paid by a different department), sure go wild and keep that old darling running.
I'd imagine they'd revel at the opportunity for more time, generally.
I'd guess it's mostly about the gas pipeline. The Russians sell cheap gas to Hungary, right?
[Assuming that you're referring to Sierra Space and their https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Chaser#Crewed_version]

Note that the Crew version still seems to be aspirational. And the base-model Cargo version isn't exactly flying in the fast lane, either - "[first] demonstration mission is planned for launch no earlier than 2025."

And note that it took SpaceX almost 10 years to go from Demo-1 of their Cargo Dragon to Demo-1 of their Crew Dragon.
> The curious thing (and developers have the right) is that permissive licenses, like MIT, are growing every year while copyleft licenses like the GPL are decreasing in popularity.

Not very surprising given the sizeable army of all the “developer evangelists”, “developer advocates”, and “devrel people” who have been quite vocal on the gpl-bad-mit-good stance, all the while being on Big Tech’s dime, one way or another.

Why would Big Tech want to promote this view so much? Commoditize your complement, that’s why.
> Justices have certain leanings but in general they care about their legitimacy.

Some do. Some (almost completely openly) accept actual bribes.

However you do have a perfectly valid point, having their seats for life their actions are either guided by (presumably honest) conviction (or in a few cases monetary/social gain) which in some ways is certainly an improvement over elected officials.

> If that party is already in the majority it could have just passed the law it wants anyway?

Depends. The cost/friction of passing new laws or amendments is still usually quite high and even if you have a majority in both houses and the president there is only so much you can achieve in 2-4 years. Then even these days both parties are not 100% monolithic and there still might be some splits across party lines on less publicly visible issues (the members of your party who are on the fence might start demanding stuff in return etc.)

> It's completely different.

I wouldn't say it's completely different just not as radical and usually takes a few decades. e.g. Roe v. Wade would be brought back immediately after progressives/liberals had a majority (which is of course unlikely to be anytime soon unless Biden's plan to pack/reform the supreme court somehow went through..)
Open core in practical terms keeps many useful parts away of a product. A good example of this is clickhouse recently which keeps some of the most interesting features locked to the cloud version exclusively.
I'd like a supported port of .NET to the BSDs.
You can request it from any of them. Almost all of them will deny the request because the CCPA is rarely prosecuted and because you can't bring any private lawsuits based on the CCPA. Even "real" corporations like Atlassian operate that way.
I worked on a project once, where the date was written in the law (financial compliance). Sometimes we have to accept and deal with the deadlines and the problem becomes the problem of quality and scope. In such situations you just throw away some of the best practices and just ships whatever works. Business is often totally fine with imperfections.
I mean when you can just make some quick hardware and then spend a few hours (if that) setting up your queries to OpenAI and tweaking the system prompt for a boatload of money apparently who isnt going to do that... ...

That is basically what is happening here. Just different versions of hardware where the actual software side is the smallest part of the equation. It is incredibly ironic that we went from an over engineered App into Hardware and a Pin solving a problem that didn't exist, to probably the laziest implementation with "Friend".
My wife wore those strips for years and is now having several cancerous lesions removed right where the adhesive was.
Good. The sooner systems design people stop thinking that SSNs are UUIDs the better.
You think this is literally never the case? Raising VC money has never helped a company significantly?
snoring by itself is not a problem; it can be indicative of dangerous sleep interruption with oxygen starvation. you don't have that problem. that's a good thing.

some of the suspected problems with lack of sleep emerge over a long period of time and are not "felt" on a day to day basis. You should worry if you are getting less than 7 hrs on the daily. But otherwise you are in good shape and should be happy with the reassurance that your sleep study provided.

potential link between too little sleep and dementia:

"Sleep well — and reduce your risk of dementia and death

"Two studies show that sleeping six hours or less in midlife can increase dementia risk by 30% or more. Learn how sleep flushes beta amyloid and other substances that accumulate in Alzheimer's disease, and how to improve your sleep quality."

In addition, underneath the definition, we touch on that even more:

> The intention is for the first point to be a bright line, and for the second to invite exploration. We expect Fair Source licenses to emerge and evolve and shake out into a few clear winners over time, as companies apply Fair Source within their own particular business context. The third point is also intended as a bright line, and a key differentiator of Fair Source from Open Core and other approaches.

The key line is to "invite exploration."
Absolutely. This is the number one issue I see causing problems with devs on my teams. It is extremely simple to test your damn work. Smoke test it. Make sure the damn machine boots. Make sure the app runs.

This is covered in part by a staged deployment... but that's just having your users test for you. Where's the automated integration test, or just the boot test?
So have you been laid off or fired several times in the past few years? Do they tell you its because you can't do frontend or is it for performance issues? I feel like there's some key information missing here.
That is just completely wrong and you have misunderstood why we elect Presidents. Your opinion isn't supported by anything in the Constitution.
Wait, this 'Agents' thing seems to be just a way to couple a system prompt and temperature to a model, that's it?

What's the difference from sending the system prompt in the api call, as usual?

Edit: Oh, missed that: "We’re working on connecting Agents to tools and data sources."

This is why releasing as early as possible to get customer feedback is key. The app clearly gives enough value to pay, but there's a problem in the payment flow that's a showstopper. That's the sort of thing you need to understand before you start scaling.
You don't have to get one from Lenovo. These types of form factors (and many more) are available as full PCs in every possible configuration.

Indeed. I noticed that emphasis.-

There has to be some drawbacks that are not mentioned and I'd be curious.-
> But the main reason for its decline, paradoxically, was its strength. Glass retailers who play by the rules of the market live off the fact that their products break, so they can sell more. A glass that didn’t break was a threat to profits.

I've heard this story repeated multiple times but I've never bought it. Unless there is a glass cartel, i.e. crony capitalism, I have a hard time believing that consumers wouldn't storm the gates for unbreakable glassware.

If I were a bar owner, and I had near 100% restocking of my glassware annually (which I believe is in the ballpark of the actual number), I would be willing to bypass my supply chain and order these glasses directly from the manufacturer.

I can't see how someone couldn't make a decent living off the addressable market of one time sales of this glassware.

This doesn't seem like it is a true market dynamic - but I might be missing something.
If you follow his more recent material you get to the core - tactical empathy. While I don’t buy into all the Voss stuff, there is a Zen like quality to the discipline of truly operating the conversation from the POV of the other player while not losing your own grounding on what you want. It’s definitely made a positive impact in my own outcomes & dramatically lowered my rate of failure.
I think this would be more fun for VIM keybindings, where there is a higher skill level (to get cooler combos of course).
In terms of protecting oneself, what are the actual steps? (E.g. if you're HIV- but are participating in activities either directly with someone who is HIV+ or whose partner is HIV+.)

Do you schedule a doctor appointment and ask for something specific? And is there anything else to do, such as something over-the-counter?

There's a dizzying array of terms to learn in this space. PrEP is apparently different from PEP, which I think is also unrelated to what this article is talking about. It'd be nice if someone put together a 2024 guide for what the latest preventative / protection mechanisms are.

Instead, I’d like to force this company (and others similarly) to put all kinds of precautions in place. Also warn them that the next breach would result in severe penalties, assuming they could’ve prevented the breach in the first place.

Congress being "dysfunctional" is just a way of saying Congress doesn't agree to do what you think it should. If the political will to do this isn't there (and it clearly isn't, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation) then it shouldn't be done.

Yes, though I couldn't say offhand when exactly it changed.
That is rather unfortunate - if you were so inclined, you could contact their helpdesk <help@nebula.tv> as mentioned at the bottom of that FAQ page and tell them about your experience

Regrettably, I have been following Nebula from its early years, so I don't have the elevator pitch to offer other than "videos on YouTube are dictated by YouTube, videos on Nebula are dictated by their creators" plus the obvious ad-free experience. This is some inside baseball from the channel that I recall introduced me to Nebula https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alqt6RCEWdM

As for your popular science concern, in general my answer is "no," it's not marketing drivel designed to inject ads into your eyeballs. However, since it is just a video platform (err, and also classes, news, and podcasts) the content quality is ALL OVER the place. That was actually why I didn't subscribe for such a long time - it was like those "web 3" video platforms - only fringe stuff was on it, so it wasn't worth my time or dollars. Since then, they have gotten a lot more content that I value so I pay by the year now

I believe there currently exists none because the problem has no real theoretical solution because almost no one has given it thought. Lots of "related" but information-wise not so useful texts exist on "how to do X" but these are not concerned on what the X should be.
It's difficult to see how. The vast majority of people don't care even a little about that stuff. They just want money they can spend on the things they need with the least amount of hassle and risk possible.

If they don't have insurance for this precise problem then I think we should go after the owners personally. I'm sick of the shell game. Pierce the veil.
Oh, right. That was around the time of the strange merger with McDonnell Douglas. Somehow, the finance people from McDonnell Douglas ended up in charge. That didn't go well.
It is a dream learning guest languages, while trying to avoid the platform, one really needs to understand UNIX, Web, .NET, Java, Erlang... for using whatever alternative leaky abstractions are provided on top of them.

Other comments on the actual article say the same, so I might not have imagined things and they were added after publication.
There's this massive gap between those who can call API and those who can't. If you can't, then you get the same aspirational-AGI chat UI as everyone else.

I agree with the implied statement that 'Agents' doesn't feel right. Reminds me more of the projects that put the model in a loop.

It does feel to me to be a really tough thing to name & market, I'm about to release an app for this across all providers, I call it "Scripts" with "Steps" like chat, search, retrieval, art...

Assuming you do not currently have a viral load of HIV, you can meet with your provider, indicate that you are at risk, and request a prescription for PrEP [1] (Planned Parenthood can assist with sourcing if you don't have a PCP or other stable medical providers). Longer term, it is likely there will be a shift to a twice yearly injectable (Gilead’s Lenacapavir) [2]. State of the art is an undetectable viral load due to antiviral treatment means you cannot transmit to others [3] [4] [5].

I think some of the tension is that:

> 2. FooLabs offers FooCloud, a paid, hosted, managed version of Foo for those who don't want to run Foo themselves.

> 4. FooLabs' hosted version doesn't really have much advantage over AWS and AWS has a huge base of existing customers, so it outcompetes FooLabs.

FooCloud is often run with what is perceived as excessive costs/margins, so 1. they get really poor uptake, and 2. it's really easy for AWS to undercut them.

> permanent, immanant

I'm out of my depth here, but I'm imagining something like a path integral[0] between n particles. For example, with two fermions, A and B, you'd get a fraction f of A moving to B's location, and vice versa, giving:

d[AB] = f * ([B] - [A])

The fraction is real as f^2 is the action A -> B -> A which shouldn't get a phase or A would self-destruct. If you had a bunch of anyons circling around in a magnetic field[1], then f could be a root of unity or something more complicated. You can generalize the boundary operator

d[123...n] = Σ(-1)^k * [123...k-1,k+1...n]

to be

d[123...n] = Σ χ(k) * [123...k-1,k+1...n]

where χ(k) is the character of your group. For example, if you have n particles interacting in a circle 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> ... -> n -> 1, then χ(k) = e^2πik/n. This is where the immanant comes from.

Thanks for being honest.

Scrum is not a panacea, it's a form of agile that even big globo-corpo can appreciate and that's why it's so widely deployed. Low cost certifications and copy-cat'ism.

If you run Scrum the way it's trained, it is only effective at directing the people and planning. The developers need to ensure that non-functional requirements around code quality, all the -ilities really, are factored into the work that the team does - you do NOT get that with Scrum. This is my biggest complaint about Scrum is its utter silence on development standards. It is important as developers that we establish what our standards are and hold ourselves to those standards. You could say that the place for that in Scrum is the Team Working Agreement (like house rules), but again, there's no guidance that "Developers shall define the standard of quality for their work products...", etc.

Yes, SAFe does attempt to deal with this issue, but it's like moving food around on your plate - it's still there, and management still wants to tie activities to budget.

Whatever framework or philosophy or concept you use, it gets implemented by people in an organization.

If that organization is new and growing, it is graded by things like active user growth (top line); if that organization is established, it is graded by profit (bottom line).

The journey from top line to bottom line is where all the complications come in.

So I think the author is correct in their conclusion [0], but not in depth.

0. Engineers will tend to be sad in established orgs [cost centers], and happy in new orgs [product development].
I think it's the new "search/lookup xyz on Google".

Because Google search and search in general is no longer reliable or predictable and top results are likely to be ads or seo optimized fluff pieces, it is hard to make a search recommendation these days.

Mishandling aside, the issue I've seen is there really isn't consumer demand for this. Prior to AMD having AVX512, most of the comments were around wasting the silicon on SIMD, rather than improving other aspects of the CPU. I'm pretty sure there was good reason to think it was largely a dark area of the chip.

From what I've seen, but haven't heard discussed much, the naive implementation vs AVX512 is a huge gain, but AVX2 vs AVX512 was not very impressive for the application I was looking at. The complexity this code added, and the cases where we needed it to run on AMD (for other reasons), basically made taking advantage of the feature undesirable for a single digit gain.

Things like VNNI or AMX are better wins, but they are only needed in very specific cases. VNNI in particular looked to be a 30% improvement in a BERT workload.
