I think they are saying when somebody looks to buy elastic search on AWS they find the Elastic offering on the market place and are not confused by the AWS offering that’s now called open search.

I think most people understand "far from civilization" to just mean rural. You can easily find that in america (or canada). Nobody is talking about moving to a failed state.
I very much agree with you and also would really like some clear evidence of that.

My opinion was formed from another area that is related : the pretense that “forged” knife are stronger, and hold their edges better, etc. I have seen some mostly nonsensical electronically microscope observations that didn’t prove anything except minor differences in “fiber” patterns that cannot be reliably be shown to be better in experimental protocols (provided you heat treat the metal in the same way and everything else being equal in particular the particular alloy).

I think this is one of those things that people keep repeating without any evidence because very is a large amount of marketing behind it as well as vested interests to sell more expensive supposedly superior “artisanal” stuff.

There are many examples of the likes, being mostly belief/lores repeated ad nauseam that becomes “true” just because everyone is saying it, yet with no hard evidence !
The next Ubuntu LTS, once it hits Debian unstable/ages a little, lol. I kid - it's overstated.
It's not a reasonable request to a typical homeowner, but if we're looking at a path to a society-wide greener tomorrow, it's worth looking at.

I wonder how much upgraded insulation and geothermal heat pump(/district heating) could be paid for by the cost to build a new nuclear power plant - or even by the difference in cost to build that power plant versus to get sufficient solar and batteries to, in combination with the insulation, generate comparable temperature control.
How is introducing a breaking change "a nothingburger", but resisting a breaking change "a hill to die on"?

It's a breaking change, requiring me to fix CI, local copies, scripts and so on. It really doesn't matter if you rename "master" to "main", or "main" to "GloriousLeaderXiJinping". Just don't, it's harmful because it's a breaking change for no reason.
The very simple fix is there is to auto-scale everyone's scores into weights (percentages that add to 100).
It was so that AWS would create their own name for their fork:

> we changed the license, knowing it would result in a fork of Elasticsearch with a different name and a different trajectory. It’s a long story.

I think the name of the fork is now OpenSearch.
This is good news. Thanks for sharing.
I'm concerned that if Google ever stopped paying Mozilla to be the default search engine in Firefox, Mozilla would not be able to afford continued development on Firefox.

"the Pico includes an RP2040 which is where the PIO runs" to me sounds like it implies either

- The original Pico was not built around the RP2040 as its central part ("includes" sounds to me like it was an addition)

- The Pico 2 includes a RP2040 (in addition to the RP2350) which runs PIO

Neither of which are true. I'm guessing some other people had a similar reaction.

This is a very real concern. When a client can compare the pricing it does become like that. However, do you think client acquisition is a problem for practices like yours? Is it actually hard to do?

I have to disagree with the scammy part. They were pretty serious/intense about teaching you how to use superhuman, so the daily emails for the first week could be considered spammy, but personally I found them useful when trying to learn to be a power user.

It was not worth it for me at that price point, but they clearly put so much craftsmanship into the app, I feel obliged to defend it from be called scammy. It remains on the short list of best “new technology” experiences for me, right up there with some of my first Apple devices.
There's a version of Space Cowboy by Jamiroquai that didn't pop up in any store for years. It's called Stoned Again, which in itself is an alteration and combination of the David Morales Classic Club Mix and the original music video version. For years until it was released on Apple Music the only versions you could get were the original, the Good Vibes Zone Extended Remix or the David Morales Classic Club Mix. I don't know if the shortened 3:23 long music video version's even available as audio only either.

There's an ongoing problem that's somewhat related where the newest release version of a song is the only one you can download. It's related to music rights and royalties, thus storefronts get talked into carrying a version that a different group of people can get money from. It's becoming a real problem because so many of these remasters do things like tape noise removal or leveling compression that severely unbalance the original mixes. Listening to ZZ Top's 2006 Fandango! remaster for example is unsettling because if you're used to the original 1975 release you notice right away the highhats getting reduced or the increased volume of the bass on what were originally live stage recorded songs. But many services do not have the original 1975 recordings or their 1988 digital transfers. If it weren't for preservationists doing manual transfers of well kept but now quickly degrading physical media and spreading them via piracy then all we would have would be these new remasters for a lot of songs.
It's a tough call. I personally agree that default sorting on relevance score is better for discovery. It's easy enough to switch the ordering to points if desired.

As far as I can tell, it is an ORM for data engineers. They can write Python code that gets translated to either SQL or some other language understood by the DB engine that actually runs it.
The issues here could be entirely unrelated, but I’m sure all the big tech companies had investments that the rapid pace of LLM innovation overtook. Resolving that duplication and pivoting toward the more promising path would be frustrating for people working on the worse one even if executed perfectly.
Does slime mold reason?

Yes, Hinton can be wrong, is wrong on many things like his misunderstanding on Chomsky and language.

But I also think he has spent thousands of hours testing these systems scientifically.

Your last sentence puts a lot of words in peoples mouths. But to continue down that line, fake reasoning and actual reasoning sounds like the Chinese Room. Is that the argument you are making?

We don't understand our own mental processes well enough, so I try to not anthropomorphize reasoning and cognition.
With the massive tide of browsers converting to Chromium under the hood, I wonder how long Apple can hold out. Fingers crossed they keep allocating budget for it.
What could be learned from this example that might enable companies in the future to leverage trademark instead of a license change to accomplish the same thing? So much damage could have been avoided if this had been resolved differently to begin with.
I don't see the difference with Signal here. In both cases, the only reason why you know that they do E2EE properly is because you (or somebody else that you trust) has audited the client code and confirmed that it does indeed do E2EE.

Nor does it require a third party client. In fact, in this regard, Telegram official client is slightly better because they have reproducible builds for iOS, while Signal, last I checked, does not (they do have them for Android).
Burning wood is a completely viable (if very annoying and environmentally dubious) answer to off grid hot water. Your plan sounds pretty good to me.
That might be the case but the fact is that these incentives exist and eligible home owners that don’t use them are in effect throwing money away.

Also, it can be politically and technically expedient to provide incentives, even if it is not the theoretically most efficient use of that money. For example if it increases acceptance for renewables in the broader population or jump starts an industry (as it has in Germany).

at least that’s what elastic seems to be betting on.

This is a news article about a business operating gas turbines without proper permits. Are “you guys” the people that read the article?
Thanks, but it wasn't so much asking about storing more than you have at once, but as file systems are used, old unused space might still be occupying space in the Shufflecake scheme. Say you have that 1GB volume with three equally-sized volumes; sure, you can write ~333MB to each of them, and then delete all the files. Now according to each of the file systems, you have 0B used and 1GB free. When you try making new files after this point, will it still generate I/O errors?
Sheesh what a big baby.

Not everyone qualifies for government assistance. The software Deloitte built was supposed to automatically determine if someone was eligible. It is now being alleged that the software did not function correctly and was denying people because of bugs and issues with the software, not because the person was ineligible.
>Okay I'm not the one who advocated to change master. That's already been done. Now we have people advocating to change BACK to master.

I don't believe that is what's being argued.

>Also really? Audio mastering?

Yes, audio mastering. The developer that created the concept of master branches in git specifically outlined his influence was from the concept of audio mastering (master recordings) [0].

>And which, pray tell, do you believe came first?

Audio mastering came before git master branches.

If the ruling was upheld, Google wouldn't gain any new liability for putting a TikTok-like frontend on video search results; the only reason they're not doing it now is that all existing platforms (including YouTube) funnel all the recommendation clicks back into themselves. If YouTube had to stop offering recommendations, Google could take over their user experience and spin them off into a hosting company that derived its revenue from AdSense and its traffic from "Google Shorts."

This ruling is not a ban on algorithms, it's a ban on the vertical integration between search or recommendation and hosting that today makes it possible for search engines other than Google to see traffic.
Let me ask you a question in return.

If you discovered a thread on the forum where a bunch of users were excitedly talking about doing something incredibly dangerous in their 4x4s, like getting high and trying some dangerous maneuver, would you let sit on your forum?

How would you feel if somebody read about it on your forum and died trying to do it?

Update: The point I'm trying to make is that _I_ wouldn't let this sit on my forum, so I don't think its unethical to ask others to remove it from their forums as well.
I don't understand why they didn't treat Amazon's previous offering as a trademark infringement.

The decision specifically mentions algorithmic recommandation as being speech, ergo the recommandation itself is the responsibility of the platform.

Where is the algorithmic recommandation that differs per user on HN?
I'm not interested in your snark. I'm aware of my mortality and of statewide corruption. Those are not good reasons to publish my health data publicly even in an anonymized form. The people who might be able to fix my mortality are already allowed to have my data (whether I'm happy or not about that is moot as you've made clear yourself). That does not change my belief that the scheme you propose for "exposing statewide corruption" is a bad idea.

>I could swear that Elon is pushing Republican posts to an extreme.

Of course he is. His whole rationale for buying Twitter was to purge it of the "woke mind virus" he blames for his daughter being transgender. He's bumped openly white supremacist and right-wing conspiracy content from his account. Anything Republican, conservative or pro-Trump is a given. Everyone has noticed that stuff (as well as bots and scam accounts) proliferate since he took over.

And notice how the same people who lost their minds over the "Twitter Files" (which were a nothingburger) and spread conspiracy theories about Google editing white people out of history (they don't) suddenly don't care when the bias is in their favor.

I’ve been a happy Kagi customer for probably 2 years(?) now. Highlights for me, as a professional:

- I can blacklist low-value domains (such as geeksforgeeks) that dominate the top of many programming searches.

- I can increase/decrease the priority of domains or pin domains to the top of searches, such as official documentation for languages/libraries.

- I can use “Lenses” to filter results for programming/academic/forum results.
Perhaps the fact that AWS has got years of time investment already made into OpenSearch and staying with their own version allows them to reduce risks should Elastic attempt to change ElasticSearch’s license again.
I can't recommend ratgdo (Rage Against the Garage Door Openers) project highly enough. It implements the protocol and allows you to interact with the door: https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/

The protocol itself is crazy, with obfuscated ternary data (instead of binary). People who reversed it are heroes.
So, in this submission Meta adjacent opinions have called OSS supporters all sorts of names while being upvoted.

At least Meta is shows its true colors here. It must have hurt that the OSS position has arrived at the Economist yesterday, so everyone is circling the wagons.
Community service has a particular problem in the context you're trying to use it in though, doesn't it?

Where community service works if for e.g. misbehaving kids with non-absentee parents. Because then the parents make sure the kid actually does the community service, and the kid is thereby deterred from doing it again.

If you do the same thing for someone who is going to blow off the community service, then you'd need the police to make them do the community service, and police get six figures in salary and benefits, so that's a very expensive babysitter and you've eliminated any kind of net benefit.

The link you're using is from 2022, which is an outlier in terms of energy production.

The issue is that Germany exports "waste" electricity. It almost always exports cheap power, and imports at high rates. In negative price events, you will almost always see Germany in the exporter list.

For instance, today, France imported from Germany between 10:30 and 15:45, when market prices reached bottom, and exported to Germany when prices soared, including between 18h and 21h [1].

Another issue is that Germany's inability to control its power production is big enough that it can't be compensated by cross-border trades. That's what can be seen today between 18h and 21h [2], where the price spread between France and Germany became very large.

This kind of pattern has been happening all week.

Okay, cool. No notes, that's neat.

Are there any SMEs that have worked with both OpenSearch (the fork) and ElasticSearch? Are there significant differences?

I know the AWS fork had the big difference back then of having RBAC built into their Kibana portion.
Your $40k price is the high end and only in some markets, and has a whole lot more to do with regional labor costs than anything else. The same system would probably be $15k installed in another market. And that's before the enormous subsidies that are on offer in many states.

Or if you're at all handy and willing to educate yourself, you can DIY it for a fraction of the cost. That's obviously not for everyone, but you don't need any professional skills. You could hire an electrician if you want to be grid-tied.
Yeah, the testing is bonkers. But really nothing can withstand enough heat and pressure. Eventually your container just turns into a liquid. I love this video of the testing:

This paper talks about Gibbs states, i.e., thermal states. These are very specific states that naturally occur if the system is in thermal equilibrium.

The other thing you talk about is true. If you have a system in quantum superposition, to measure it you need to entangle it with some macroscopic system. Macroscopic systems decohere very fast. This concept is well explained in excellent John Preskill's quantum computing lecture notes [1]

Note that the system for which wavefunction collapses is not in equilibrium with the measurements equipment (otherwise it wouldn't be measured), so the claims of the paper do not apply to this case.

It was a paradigm shift.

This recent video by RealLifeLore drives it home:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=550EdfxN868&t=1504s

the last time in history that Sovereign American territory was invaded and occupied by a
hostile foreign power was between 1942 and 1943 when the Japanese occupied the
small and sparsely populated Alaskan islands of ATU and Kisa which they struggled to reinforce with supplies and
were only able to hold on to for a year before getting overrun by much better supplied American and Canadian soldiers

Up until 9/11, the US people had forgotten what it was like to be on defense.

Later in the video: https://youtu.be/550EdfxN868?si=gpTplY4Z36tJPxLv&t=2706

that doesn't mean that the US cannot be hurt or have its interests disrupted in other ways the US Mainland
can obviously still become the subject of major attacks from hostile foreign powers if not outright invasions and the
biggest and worst attack that ever befell the US on its own territory happened recently only 23 years ago

I assume that the major hurdle is not storing an equivalently-sized search index, but building one from scratch. Crawling takes time, and Google has had a many years head start.
Yeah, to be honest, I followed one of these build guides, and got a second hand GPU, and it didn't fit in the case. I tried to "make" it fit with some shears. It died. No surprise. So then I bought a new cheap GPU, and the machine seems to work pretty well. My kids play Minecraft and StepMania on it.

ALSO, while we're chatting - I picked up this Chromebook:

ASUS Chromebook Plus, CM3401 14" 2-in-1 Laptop with Google AI - AMD Ryzen 3 7320C - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD - Ponder Blue, Model CM3401FF-R3128BLX.

I got it in "Open Box Good" condition for $199.99.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-chromebook-plus-cm3401-14-...

I kind of love it. Convertible to tablet (keyboard folds under.) Runs Android apps, including Disney+, can download Disney+ shows. HDMI out. I believe the HDMI out works for Disney+ which is a surprise and a treat. Runs Linux. I installed Visual Studio Code, .Net Core, etc. Because it's a "Chromebook Plus," it has an App Shortcut to install the Steam Installer. (!!!) I installed Balatro, and the touchscreen works awesome. I installed both Android Minecraft (works well on the built-in screen but for some reason has frame rate problems on the external display?), and also Minecraft Java through the Linux.

Haven't tried too many other Steam games yet. I tried to install Path of Exile, but it seems to completely not work.

For $199.99, the thing's a beast.
I remember switching from Deezer to Spotify (paid subscriptions) because Deezer didn't have "Skunk Anansie - Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good) (Allegedly Acoustic Mix)" which is an amazing song - imho one of the best "Repeat1" songs that I can listen for hours and hours.

There are other songs I cannot seem to find anywhere though, some cool remixes I remember from back-in-the-day or some live bootleg-y versions that never made it to the streaming services such as "Pearl Jam - Black/We Belong Together/It's OK (Pittsburgh '06)" (https://)www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1pG6cWzWOQ).

Another song that 'suffered' from stolen samples (seeing other peoples' comments), and a personal favorite is "The Orb - Fluffy Clouds" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fluffy_Clouds). I remember hearing on an interview (many many years ago) that when they were discussing about clearing the stolen bits, someone said "say nothing and release it and we will figure it out later".
a parallel problem I'm seeing is artists re-recording their hits in an attempt to have a second shot at making money after getting screwed by the record companies in the initial release. I can't blame the artists, of course, but my ear is trained to expect a very particular sequence of sounds and their re-recordings just don't cut it for me, despite their attempts to faithfully re-create every part of the original (other people appreciate music differently, thats fine).
I look forward to Verso
