Interesting. I think concerns about legality of contributions are completely understandable.

But doesn't this CLA in particular (and most CLAs out there generally) assign the company behind it a license to distribute all contributions under any license they wish? Specifically the part that I quoted where contributors give them an "irrevocable copyright license" to "sublicense" their contributions?

As far as I understand, this allows them to unilaterally re-license the project as a whole (to proprietary or non-free open source) without asking contributors for permission.

The only way I'd agree to a CLA is if it included explicit language that ensured that they couldn't do this, e.g. "You hereby grant [...] under the terms of the AGPL v3 license", but I'm not a lawyer.

If most of the newsletters are coming from the same sources, contact them instead of Google. If you email their abuse@, use a different email address so you can communicate without the risk of delay or filters.

Mass emailers are more motivated than Google with resolving this type of issue.
It’s much improved! My last feedback would be to zoom your editor a lot more so folks on mobile can see things better :)
So what we're saying is, if there was less water then I could have really big back yard. Things may get a little crispy though.
I do pay so the point is moot. But for the exercise:

Google has probably already well overextended it's reach and made thousands off data without my consent. And will probably make more without my consent from Gemini. They have so many cash glows that I couldn't care less about plugging one of the holes up. They've long burned their good will points.

Meanwhile, I am an aspiring indie dev and I've overtime gotten rough ideas of how and what other creators on YT are paid. I honestly feel bad knowing some of these people arguably work 5 times harder than I do selling their brands while making maybe half (if they are a really established creator, maybe 500k+ subs) of what I make just walking to my computer and typing into a codepad. Some can barely afford their rent despite this hard work, and potentially hundred of hours of entertainment given to me. And those are "big" (but not Huge) creators. Someone with 50-100k subs may still not be able to do their work full time, or they do it on the very edge of viability.

I can't do much. I subscribe to some crowd funds, but not all. being able to at least watch their ad rolls is some form of appreciation in my mind. So call it guilt or call it an odd emotional attachment.

I just want to try and pay it forward, knowing I may be on that seat one day.
You could have backed this statement up with a benchmark, and you chose not to.

(You are right on the general hand-waving level that such optimizations are sometimes possible. But there are no fuseable intermediate data structures in this particular problem.)
> It's wasting everyone's time and bandwidth.

No, that's what ads are doing. And not just your computers bandwidth but also your mental bandwidth. Fuck ads.
ICL is relatively new and is surprisingly little known. I learned about it by chance from friend, did it, and it worked out great, beyond any expectations. I see way better than with any glasses or contacts.

I went with “mono vision”, i.e. my eyes are preset for different distances - one for close, one for far. This takes some time to get use for, but I consider it more convenient for me as I get older. I wouldn’t recommend this setup for a younger person, obviously.
What is it protecting us from, realistically? It's just a powerplay by the world's most incompeteny private club (brussels)
This is really aggressively reductive. Job elimination isn't entirely about people who were sweeping up horse dung, and the new jobs aren't all comfy podcasting and influencer gigs.

The job elimination can mean people who spent decades honing a craft and no longer have any realistic job opportunities at a remotely equivalent pay level, and have no path into a new career because they're now decades behind (or too old to realistically train up a new skill if they're a physical laborer). Sure, it's progress, but it's weird to imply that all the labor that's being eliminated lacks value or artistry.

And the new jobs are frequently things like acting as a babysitter for an AI or sitting in a call center pressing buttons. Certainly, this is also "work", but if we're comparing it to shoveling horse manure I wouldn't necessarily consider it elevated much even if it's more comfortable.
0g means less than half a gram per serving. Given an arbitrarily small serving size, everything has 0g of sugar. Like how PAM spray grease has 0G of fat due to a tiny serving size.

I don't trust them either. The inherent conflicts of interest makes any advertising suspicious. They are guaranteed to be overstating the pros and understating the cons.

"Sponsored segments" on youtube are nothing but normal advertising, they just permanently hardcoded the ads into the video instead. I don't like that they use the word "sponsors" for that. Sponsorships can be an ethical way to make money. Think Patreon, GitHub Sponsors.
As I say in the neighboring comment, I think the two compliment each other a lot more than v3. Linus would get even more code contributions .. I think he'd be happy
That doesn't say anything. It just says it may be more convenient to express data per 100 ml if you have a liquid product.

Can you cite the article where it says you can express nutritional data with respect to a final form of the product you mix yourself and not list the per 100g/100ml data? I'm still very skeptic but would be quite interesting if that was really allowed.
No, the whole idea of the AGPL is to make you release modifications even if you're not distributing (i.e. a web app). No modifications, no release.
Thanks! I am going to try this.

But I am worried that, in this way I need to contact the sender every time one sign-up my email to newsletter. I was hoping from Google side they can solve this issue once for all. (Spams waste resources of Gmail as well)
No, it's just boring and uninspiring.
it's a great opportunity to practise patience! there's a street food seller in my town, that I only go to if there's a crowd (not a queue, a crowd). he doesn't believe in serving each customer in turn, no, he'll take everybody's orders and starts to prepare them in a random order - and he'll constantly look in your general direction and ask if you want this or that on your food - but usually he's asking somebody behind you.

the first time it drove me mad, but after that, I started seeing this as an opportunity to practise patience. he's a very tough teacher.

As someone from the EU, hearing this argument over and over from Americans is exhausting.

They provide a product in the EU, therefore they must either follow EU law or exit the EU market. Just like an EU company that provides a product in the US has to follow US law.

Do you have some testimonials from customers to show us how do they use it and what value do they get out of it?

In my org 50k-100k cloud bill I don't see that much use for it (mainly we are not increasing our costs significantly and we roughly know what we are paying for).

I can see a lot of value for indie/small/medium sized biz but the commercial of that is too high in my opinion.
I think cutting out all but "business-critical" travel has done far more damage to innovation than any WFH disconnect.

I can think about several situations that could have been solved 6-12 months earlier (IMHO) if L4+ were allowed to travel as it was before 2020, and I work on ML low-level infrastructure. The savings would have been significant enough to show up on finance/CFO radar, but it was impossible to quantify and thus seek approval for those travels as it was not a well-defined deal / project.

See, the water amount isn't that large. What if we crashed some comets that are mostly ice to Mars?

> In the more prestigious English universities, lecturers are still called 'Readers'

At least in the University of Cambridge, a Reader is a specific academic role that is distinct from a lectureship and typically has very few teaching duties. It's often a stepping stone on the path to professorship. See e.g.

> The intention was to allow senior academics more time for research, lightening their load of routine teaching.

https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/university-archives/glossary/reade...

University of York also seems to focus mostly on scholarship over teaching:

> To become a Reader, you must demonstrate substantial intellectual distinction with a sustained contribution in research and scholarship, bestowing considerable external recognition on yourself and the University.

Personally I just stop watching videos and entire channels with sponsored segments. If they are okay with shilling some crappy product for a little cash I don't trust them not to sell out or be deceptive in less obvious ways as well.
Sadly is the case for me as well. A friend of mine went vegan just for the sake of at least it eliminated any possibility of diary products in their food.

At least in the UK the enzyme pills can add up quite quickly in cost.
Too proprietary, and no ecosystem to speak of. (as a consequence of the former)

It is irreversible similar to how a student reading a textbook from LibGen can remember and profit from that information forever. Kinda crazy how many in this community went from champions of freedom of knowledge to champions of megacorps owning and controlling of all of human creation in the span of like two years when it became clear other corporations could profit off that freedom too.
and that humanoid robot has the skills of all the robots before it, while not needing those pesky statutory breaks and comforts.
The use-case is the exact same one that is on a desktop. System-wide setting for a comfortable max volume, application specific volume because different apps handle audio differently. Youtube videos are loud, voice chat is usually moderate, some recordings are quiet.
FWIW, I had a Pixel Watch 2 with this issue every now and then in the first couple of months when it was brand new. I've not had this issue in 2024 essentially (fixed as part of monthly updates).
DCO is something like "Signed-of-by: me myself <me@example.com>" you have to actively add to your contributions, which is usually a conscious and willful act that is far more complex than blindly ticking a box (or even leaving a pre-ticked box ticked). Since that bar is higher, I think the legal weight should be higher.

CLA-Assistant is also similarly simple to fill out, so that can't be the difference there...

When the economy is booming and there's a lot of money sloshing around, developers can get away with shrugging and saying "not my problem" to things like cloud costs and energy efficiency.

Those same developers don't get to complain on the rainy day, when someone who knows how to save the company millions of dollars a year gets a better deal.

I have developed a system called streamtasks, which is open source (https://github.com/leopf/streamtasks). It allows you to quickly build real time data pipelines and configure them with a no code front end. This is a quick demo of adding your own functionality to the system, by creating a task that uses ollama to respond to input prompts.
> I basically take lactase enzyme pills everytime I have a dairy product.

Sorry I'm not familiar with lactase enzyme or lactose intolerance, but wouldn't this be the reccomended usage? Or is it suggested to take the pills only when eating something with especially high lactose content?
According to the 2020 NIST recommendations, if I'm reading correctly, to get the equivalent of 256 bits of symmetric security, ECC needs 512 bit keys (the factor 2 seems unavoidable for any public key system, because math), but for both RSA and finite-field crypto, you need 15k bit keys to get the same security level.

This is due to the multiplication group modulo a prime (or a pair of primes in RSA) being vulnerable to "index calculus", a faster-than-brute-force way of attacking things.

As the paper says, the main point of ECC is being impervious to index calculus by design, based on an argument by Victor Miller in 1986 about the structure of "point heights" on elliptic curves.

RSA implementations have also led to vulnerabilities in the past, and one of the big claims of djb (as the paper's first author is called in the crypto scene) is that Curve25519 and friends are designed specifically to select, among many secure choices, one that is particularly easy to implement without falling into any of the usual traps.
Ehh, if you go to buy a new car, will you buy a brand you've never heard of before? Or will you perhaps check out the brand you've seen ads for a hundred times in your life?

It's not a conscious decision, your mind is familiar with some of the brands more than others, for whatever reason, and that tricks you into trust. Sure, you still might look into reviews and stuff, but your mind has already been primed to some extent in what brands you even consider.
Advertisement obviously works. But the premise or mechanism is not as clean and simple as you laid out.

Marketing, whether they are external firms or internal teams, have their own incentives, just like anyone else.

But… Personally I like good marketing and I‘m drawn to services and products who do so.

For example tech and games sometimes do very good marketing by providing educational resources, transparency through blogs/vlogs etc.

Some products are focused on a high quality, sustainable niche, and they do very pronounced, sometimes humorous over the top ads.

I „mistrust“ marketing if it wants to sell cheap crap in a disingenuous way. But I‘m glad to see ads for interesting, quality products.
> I do worry that if this takes off it will just result in those sponsors pulling their budgets for this type of advertising, and it’ll be another nail in the coffin for creators.

For advertisers masquerading as creators. Not all creators turn their hobby into a hustle and not all that do use abusive methods to extract money out of their viewers.

I do support some patreons and have also donated directly to projects I like but I would also be more than happy if payment opportunities for "creators" dried up entirely and we went back to an internet with more genuine content instead of crap designed to be profitable.
As French, our dual-branch judicial system for a long time seemed very weird to me — I didn’t really see the point of it. I must thank the US to provide a clear example why it is in fact so useful.

In France, the law would be typically written as "The water must be safe to drink. The list of banned chemicals and safety thresholds is to be set by the Supreme Court of the Administrative Branch" (Conseil d’Etat). That way you still do have a judicial oversight of agencies, but with a judicial branch which has more adapted procedures to those issues (for example you don’t have to wait for a case to go all the way up to the Supreme Court to adjudicate — it is literally part of the job of the Supreme Court of the Administrative Branch to be proactive in those matters).
You can change that in the settings.
If they keep killing people, I should hope they get more lawsuits!
A lawyer friend back in law school heard that people who go into law are disproportionately psychopaths seeking the ability to manipulate society and power over people for personal benefit.

They tested it by somehow sneaking in psychopath test questions to other law students (without them knowing), who “passed” (not in a good way).

This is anecdata, but I found it convincingly told. I wonder whether a proper study would assess it (having doubts that would be allowed).
The naming is unfortunate. Some people (Ubuntu...) have concluded that because some curves are branded "safe" that must mean all the other curves are therefore "unsafe" and must be aggressively phased out as if they were MD5. They're changing apt to refuse to download from repositories signed using NIST curves, for instance.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless you think the NSA have an unknown backdoor that nobody was able to find. But that isn't their stated justification. Instead they cite djb's website. It's apparently not clear enough that the "SafeCurves" are safe in the sense of being easier for cryptographers to implement without bugs, not in the sense that if you have two correct implementations of a "safe" and "unsafe" curve both are equally cryptographically strong.

Therefore if people want to migrate to the "safe" curves over time, that's fine, but it's more like migrating stuff from C++ to Rust. It doesn't automatically imply the prior codebase was buggy, and if you do know of a specific bug then you need to fix it anyway so such migrations are always about reducing the risk of future problems through better engineering practices. That doesn't justify creating a lot of disruption across a distributed ecosystem.
It's reducing the advertiser's returns on their investments. Reduce it to zero or negatives and they will stop advertising. That's world changing technology.

There's no bigger waste of bandwidth than ads, by the way. Ads are noise that's deliberately added to the signal just because it makes somebody somewhere money. These are actually the most charitable words I can use to describe ads.

It's hilarious they put Claude 3.5 Sonnet in the far right corner while it scores the highest and beats most of Grok's numbers.
I also feel it's annoying that videos have become so long to cram in more ad breaks. It's not that I'm "tiktok generation that only can consume short content", but some things just aren't warranted a 15+ minute video. I'm interested, but not that interested. Sorry Steve Mould, Veritasium etc., I love your videos, but many of them could have been a few minutes long
TIL. I did not get that that from the article. Thanks for correcting me.

I simply presumed that water that's pumped from layers 100m or lower below the surface, water that's sometimes 10.000 years "old", wasn't surface water. But it makes sense to lump it in there too.
Thanks!

From my perspective, being able to pull pglite into the same golang process is preferable - faster, less IPC complexity, no risk of leaving lingering state.

Making postgres an in-process dependency is much of the appeal of pglite for me.
Great idea, I'm going to steal it
I’ve have been using wezterm for a couple of years now i guess. I am super satisfied with it, and show my appreciation by being a github sponsor. One thing that I really appreciate is, that when I at $work have to use MacOS, I can bring my configuration with me and have the same experience as on my linux box. Other projects do provide that also of course. I did try Alacritty, but that was way to unstable. Kitty have a lot of good stuff going on as well, but it was indeed the lua configuration options that made me pick wezterm. I think the only things I’m missing from Konsole is the infinite scroll buffer and the regex search overlay (continuous search without entering a special copy/search mode)…

CC's get paid for the sponsorship on top of any affiliate links. The RAID ads are the most obnoxious thing ever, but you dig through and realize even a tiny 2k sub channel can get a few hundred out of it (at this level you are getting maybe a few dozen dollars a month in YT ads) and you completely realize why they "sell out". I can only imagine the kind of cash moderate sized YouTubers (the 100-300k range) can get (i know a 400k YouTube disclosed half their revenue came from ad rolls, and their revenue was enough to live humbly.

The model is equivalent. Everything else is different.

FSF's structure, purpose, history and guardrails against non-hijacking make it distinct from a startup whose purpose is to claim "open source" but preclude Amazon and keep their revenue stream. Nothing against them or their business model; it's their prerogative, of course. So is the community and customer's read on their future actions. To claim you should assume they are the same is preposterous and/or fooling yourself. Criminals and police officers both have guns too. Doesn't make them identical.

With Forge, your AI agent can get structured data from the internet within application workflows.

As LSD Aliases grow (or AI and AI agent developers use LSD Bicycle to flag relevant aliases they need to access structured internet data and test it by scraping it), more developers can work off of each other's aliases.

Today, this demo simply shows what applications can do, while these aliases are also expanded to natural language search https://lsd.so/#landing-fourth-half-section.
