Same problem. The distribution of misalignments will be uniform.

Picture a clock frozen at the 12 o'clock position. It will be exactly aligned at midnight and noon, and exactly misaligned at 6am and 6pm. The angular misalignment will smoothly go from 0 to 180 degrees, then back at the same rate. The time it takes to move into and out of alignment will change, but the average misalignment will always be 90 degrees (absolute value).

The only exception is clocks which proceed at the exact same rate. Here they will both be stuck in sync, locked into whatever the initial misalignment was.
I think it is more nuanced than that.

Imagine you write a book and release it with a non-commercial use license, but a company copies it and uses it for employee training.

Imagine you wrote software and released it with a non-commercial use license, but the company includes it in their for-profit workflow.
Absolutely agree. When I was a kid, I took a MOOC (MITx 6.002x) because I was interested in EE. They said calculus was a prerequisite, which I didn't know yet, but I went ahead anyways; every time the course required calculus, I'd go read the relevant chapters in Strang's Calculus. Felt incredibly natural, and I ended up going through the rest of Strang just for fun- probably the best learning experience I've ever had, and I doubt I'd have ever done it without having the MOOC there to motivate the problem.
I'm the creator of Arroyo (and have talked a lot with the Denormalized folks) so maybe can answer from my perspective (and Matt and Amey please correct me on any inaccuracies.)

First the similarities: both Arroyo and Denormalized use DataFusion and Arrow and are focused on high-scale, low-latency stateful stream processing.

Arroyo has been around a lot longer and is overall more mature. It's distributed (I believe Denormalized at this point is a single-node engine), supports consistent snapshotting of its state, event time and watermarks, and has a wide range of supported connectors (https://doc.arroyo.dev/connectors). It ships with a control plane, distributed schedulers, and web ui.

But the use cases we're targeting are different. Arroyo programmed via SQL, and is used primarily for real-time data pipelines; we aim to replace Flink SQL and kSQL.

Denormalized (as I understand it) is focused more on data science use cases where it makes sense to have an embedded engine, rather than a distributed one. It's programmed with a Rust dataframe API (and soon Python).
Polynomial time means that both are deterministic. The diffreence between the two only comes down to how much has to type and copy and paste, provided that the person is well aware and experienced to do both. And the total time for either is negligible, while Raft saves you more money long termin infra costs.

The argument that im fighting agaist is that when someone says its more complex, what they mean is that they dont have experience in doing that. From a business perspective, this is something to consider when hiring from.an average pool, since you point about salary is correct, but the assumption that every single engineer fits this criteria is not correct.
Android and Chrome are not great examples. They already open source projects (or 99.9% based on open source AOSP and Chromium codebases), which themselves only survive because Google is funding tons of engineers to work on them.

The cut should be in the vertical integration stacks. Like in Apple's case between the hardware and OS, between the OS and the App Store.

In Google's case, their hardware is already open, they mostly keep apps in their walled garden (and take their 30% troll tax) with things like GooglePlay and other Google "services", not sure how that would be something to break apart.

Realistically, the best outcome we can hope for is breaking Ads away from Search.
Scaling Up a Scientific Computation
There is absolutely zero chance that either of them will go to prison on this matter. Billionaires don't go to prison for stuff like this. If anything, it will be settled for a sum of money.
That's a pretty good formula for unsustainable sprawl.
Reticulum seems like a promising protocol but I doubt it can be used practically as a mesh over packet radio at low baud rates given its asymmetric encryption suite.

Constant key exchanges, message acknowledgements, and large payloads over standards like AX.25 or FT8 would quickly congest a given frequency using off-the-shelf analog equipment that requires audio mod/demod. But it would probably work fine for more traditional, client-server traffic or simplex traffic.

It seems much better suited to digital traffic in the 900mhz+ range a-la Meshtastic or Arednmesh.
Thanks for your answer!

Very interesting mindset. Thanks for sharing.
IANAL. Is it legal to create derivatives of copyright work and then post them on public online forums? For example, I can certainly write, "Mickey Mouse got food poisoning from his Big Mac." But, if I ask an AI generator to "Make a picture of Mickey Mouse getting food poison at McDonald's", could I post the resulting picture?
In my 30 years of Internet, I got used to read over misspellings and typos. I still can understand it.

> But they don't actually control/host the vast majority of software licensed under the many GPL variants. None of the GPL licenses actually cover any form of copyright transfers.

No one claimed this is the case. The only person conflating "GNU" with "GPL" is you.

You said projects with copyright assignments should be distrusted. Someone pointed out that GNU projects require this, which you promptly denied, and I just wanted to correct the record on that. Nothing more, nothing less.

Food deserts also exist in urban areas, particularly poor and historically disadvantaged communities. No magic to capitalism - the local communities don't get a grocery because they can't pay (and, of course, other reasons), even if the population density is high.

It definitely takes a long time and makes it hard to employ people.

I've had SC clearance twice in the UK, which isn't too bad, just a couple of months or so. Even so, I saw people sit around waiting for their clearance, unable to do anything, and then leave before they had managed to do anything.

One job I applied for needed a DV clearance, and that takes a really long time. They advised me to get another job in the meantime, but it was just too much hassle, so I passed on it.
There’s always LibGen and friends if you really can’t afford much, or to sample before buying. You can also get used copies cheaper. The pricing shouldn’t keep you from reading.
Why do people like yourself have such an allergy to becoming familiar with the past? It is as small-minded to be parochially bound to your own time as it is to your own country. Think of it as analogous to learning Spanish or Chinese so you can understand people from those places.

Except it's much much easier because it's almost the same language, only a very, very, very slightly different dialect, that uses words that are still used, just a slightly different distribution of which are popular. Read a book or two from the 19th century and you'll find the rest easy.

When you admit that this is impenetrable to you you are admitting you've never tried for very long.

Not a single word in that sentence is uncommon today other than "edifice" (though any romance language speaker would understand it), as well as the fact that the average urbanite today does not know the names of many common weeds (but context makes that irrelevant)

Nathanial Hawthorne had no ability to converse with the future, but we have the ability, if we choose it, and a responsibility, to understand the past, so we can learn from it and make good choices in the future.

Sometimes it's a reasonable choice to pay for software, especially if you're a large company that can easily afford it. It's not like "just using postgres" in a manner similar to Cockroach's capabilities is trivial, building your own solution also has a whole set of risks.

> it's that I don't care.

Can you understand why a community would want to exclude you? That antisocial attitudes like this are shunned accordingly and projects that would attract them are avoided. We actively select to avoid these kinds of antagonistic attitudes getting a foothold because we know what makes our community attractive. Certainly it isn't people that "don't care" about what the community values. You'll need to find somewhere lower rent for that.

> The community you love wasn't always that way - it changed to become what you enjoy, likely to the similar anger/detriment of the previous residents who like the "old" community.

How do you know this? Likely even? Communities do change, of course. But there's a reason why the most highly sought after places continue to be the most highly sought after places and it isn't because they gleefully rip down the very things that make them sough after. Especially so "don't cares" can move in and not care about the place.

> I imagine racial segregationists and apartheid advocates used disconcertingly similar arguments.

What does that have to do with a community wanting to limit and select what they consider appropriate development in the modern age?
Crossing the Atlantic with radio is totally doable, even with low power if you accept communicating at a few bits per second (see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FT8 and https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html). As it's time-of-day dependent you'd need to have a way to switch bands (daily propagation patterns on 7 MHz are totally different from 14 MHz for example) depending on the ionospheric conditions, and a multi-band antenna. I'd rather use a pair of beams (this kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagi%E2%80%93Uda_antenna#/medi...) pointing to each other rather than a dipole, gain is much higher so you need less power. But even using multiple bands, there will be moments where no connection is possible at all.

There's also a satellite... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Es%27hail_2, but of course it would be a single point of failure.
The most useful books to read are about topics that don’t get easily outdated.
Amidst the frequent noise - its hard to notice that even the most stringent of OSS licenses like AGPL was written way back in 2002! Cloud was not even in the picture. Since then, ever growing cloud players have been playing the 'state' role and misusing OSS as 'religion' heavily affecting infra OSS products or companies.

I don't think that it's entitled to be insulated from the world changing around it, but I do think that the residents of, say, Palo Alto, should have more say about the planning and permitting in Palo Alto than I do (living 3000 miles away from there), no matter how much "some people outside a community believe they should have a voice on what the actual community wants."

I don't live there; I shouldn't have any say on their policies (except via federal law-making, limited by the 10th Amendment delegation of powers).

A lot of people also conflate plagiarism with copyright infringement. There are a lot of ways I can plagiarize--or at least create works that obviously draw very heavily from other work without attribution--that may be very frowned on, especially in an academic setting, but are not actually infringing.
From Mark Burguess I'm reading:

- The Unix Programming Environment (not that one; this one it's a bit more modern). You'll get a bit of Perl instead of AWK, but it's fine.

- The GNU C Tutorial. Not as good as 'The C programming language'; but still useful.

- A shot Introduction To Operating Systems. Slightly outdated C++, because most of the time the issue it's just about fixing the include headers.

Most of the things learned there will work as is as Perl5, ANSI C/GNU C and so don't change a lot over time, if any.

I think im with the artists on this one. They had to copy the data for model training, which I think constitutes a commercial use.

If I release software under a non-commercial use license, it is still IP infringement if a company uses it in their business process.
I was (transitively) referring to somebody saying that you'd unintentionally signed your rights away, which in my mind is different from a law removing your rights. In one of these replies I explicitly acknowledged that regulations might still allow the hotel to be in the clear (not that you have to read everything I've ever written to add a comment here, just to say that we probably have more in common in our thoughts than it looks like you think).

Even then though, laws have limits. It's kind of like when a car wash has a sign tucked away absolving themselves of liability. At _best_, the sign serves as proof that you knew certain scenarios might not be safe and entered willingly, but if the car wash operator doesn't adequately keep rocks and grit out of their machinery then they can still easily be liable for scrapes and swirls to your car. The sign (giving them the benefit of the doubt) is to warn you of potential dangers (like that you should retract your antennae), and (assuming malice) is to persuade you that you don't have a case.

Going back to that law, how many times in the middle of each night can they verify you're not running a meth lab? Can they hold you hostage while they do the inspection? Can they unfold your underwear to ensure you're not hiding the meth lab there? Using something that broad as justification for rifling through a DEFCON attendee's things for something as commonplace as a USB has a decent chance of not holding up in court, even when the law seemingly allows it.

Mind you, that particular chapter you referenced says nothing of the sort. It gives health authorities the right to search the hotel, not for the hotel to preemptively do such searches on behalf of the health authorities.
Stolen, thanks! I just played around with something like that in vim¹, and it works great.

I have a tooling issue with your method, perhaps in the same manner as you feel about C-i. To me "italicize $count previous words" makes far more sense than expanding the region on repeated calls. Although to be fair I can wrap over visual mode for that functionality which would feel more comfortable to me; "ge" end of previous word, "v", $navigation, ...

My point - to the extent I have one - is that there is probably a degree of personal comfort that colors our reactions to people using C-i.

¹ Basically "imap <C-S-8> <Esc>bcw*<C-r>-*<C-o>w". I'll give it some more thought, along with adding v:count and non-* support, before it hits my vimrc.

> It's one of the reasons I believe they have embraced RCS.

This isn’t to disqualify any of your other points, but because it keeps getting missed I’m going to include the missing context:

The People’s Republic of China requires 5G phones going forward to support what they call “5G Messaging” and what we know as “RCS”. This is one of those it’s easier to comply and do it internationally than to only do it locally things, if you’re going to do it at all, and it costs Apple nothing additional by doing so.
I reread the comment a few times and I think he agrees with you.

His friend got the better outcome by not stopping immediately is what he was implying.
I was really confused when I posted my comment and didn't see any mention of the titles I saw in the original.

A succinct encapsulation of the problem is that the total "signal" of civilization is now being eclipsed exponentially, in all sorts of ways, by "noise". Some people say we're heading towards singularity, and others towards collapse; either way I'm confident we'll live to see some sort of great Reckoning, because I don't see how the generations after Millennial can sustain the current setup and weight of civilization.

I don't really agree with that. Facebook was originally about mirroring your real-life social network. In the mid 00's nobody was trying to get likes from strangers on Facebook.

Instagram is closer to broadcast, but it was always closely tied to the mobile app experience and the "follower" mentality. People didn't really share links to Instagram posts in other online venues in the beginning.

Twitter was always unique. It existed before smartphones, and there was a good chunk of years where people without smartphones would read twitter posts on desktops. Its producer/consumer distribution is much more skewed, many twitter users never post. Tweets were always getting posted to places like HN, reddit, discussed in news articles, etc.

I think Twitter's (former) position as a broadcast medium à la TV, radio, and newspapers is unique among social networks. There's a reason why Twitter was the place for journalists, politicians, academics, fire departments, web service status alerts, etc.
Most software engineers don’t work on any code that scales to even thousands of users so optimization is a massive waste there too.

In which case, that reminds me:

The neat thing about central planning is that it can invest in things-- like rural electrification-- which are cost prohibitive for a market-based solution, if/when that need arises.

How exactly are rights holders required to inform MegaUpload of content to remove? Every DMCA takedown request I've seen generally has a collection of links. I don't know the letter of the law of the actual process, but the ability of a rights holder to tell MegaUpload to take down all copies of X piece of media seems... Unfair. Not everybody has a hash based system, and even if they did, variance - such as raring, modification times, etc, would make everything mismatch. And, if that is actually the process, why do they bother to include the links at all?

I think we need a better term than monopoly, that separates it from what people usually mean which is 'the best product'. I literally cannot think of any sort of product or service with lower switching costs than internet search. Typing bing.com takes 0.8 seconds and costs $0. Hundreds of orders of magnitude easier than switching to a different railroad if only one goes through your town.

Google is a big ass company and enjoys outsized market share because people choose to use it. Everyone who buys a MacBook or Surface computer or smartphone does one thing immediately and that's to download Chrome. It's literally the first thing people voluntarily choose to do after powering on the device for the first time.

I'm not sure why we need government interference here which in all likelihood would change no customer behaviour but probably just add a few extra clicks in front of the Chrome downloading process.

When Alphabet begins doing something like banning Google Fiber customers from accessing bing.com, that will be interesting. But there honestly very minimal anti-competitive behaviour like that happening at the moment.
