It feels like Elastic got burnt with the license change, their stock is down 40% since they announced the fork, and they are starting to realize that being open source is important. I don't think AWS would abandon the fork given the amount of efforts they put in, they cannot walk back and re-brand their products.

It's sad to see elastic turning sides for their benefit, and as a contributor I feel betrayed. While OpenSearch on the flip side is more contributor friendly.
I honestly feel all energies should be focused on one product to make it better instead of walking in different paths. Amazon has already taken that path and I don't think they will ever walk back, unlike Elastic.
That's good if there's something to buy, but in my scenario it's free. The resort's goal isn't to charge for this parking, it's to ensure that the number of vehicles on the roads leading to their parking lot doesn't exceed the number of parking spaces. So if they have N parking spaces, they allow N reservations to be made, but people are cautiously greedy and make a reservation (when the opportunity begins on the prior Tuesday) before they even know that they're planning to ski that weekend, leading to near-immediate depletion. If the weather isn't looking great, they'll eventually cancel their reservation (lest they get on the resort's no-show shit-list, which ultimately leads to the resort refusing your business -- you must cancel or be found to have parked) and those cancellations are what the bot alerts on.

How would a lottery work for this situation? Everyone thinking of maybe skiing signs up on Monday, then on Tuesday an email is sent to N people saying "you won the parking lottery," then someone canceling last-minute (to avoid the no-show penalty) causes another "you won" email to go out randomly to the wait list? What if the person on the wait list doesn't see that they've won at the last minute, do they get a penalty for not having proactively removed themselves from the wait list upon deciding to ignore email the rest of the week? I guess this could work, but it's pretty dicey...

And of course the third party can compete on price, they don't have to develop the actual software they're selling!

What is there to discuss?
I might be wrong but there are few places that already have population and yet require a week of travel via camel to get to.

My sister lived in Wingellina[1][2], Western Australia which was a 6 hour drive on unpaved, 4WD required track from Alice Springs. That's close to one of the most difficult, isolated places to get to in Australia, but even there isn't a week on Camels. Maybe going further west into the Great Sandy Desert might get close (although you get close to small townships in WA if you go too far).

The Empty Quarter has low population density but is smaller than isolated areas in Australia.

There are probably places in Siberia and Canada that are fairly isolated too.

I agree that there are more isolated islands. The Pitcairn Islands is the most obvious case.

> The CDA was about making it clearly criminal to send obscene content to minors via the internet.

That part of the law was unconstitutional and pretty quickly got struck down, but it still goes to the same point that the intent of Congress was for sites to remove stuff and not be "common carriers" that leave everything up.

> Section 230 was intended to clarify the common carrier role of ISPs and similar providers of third party content. It does have a subsection to clarify that attempting to remove objectionable content doesn't remove your common carrier protections, but I don't believe that was a response to pre-CDA status quo.

Show HN: AI Judges – 7 AIs Vote on Your Debates
Last Monday, I had a serious argument with my girlfriend. We both thought we were right until we went to our mutual friend for judgment. This made me wonder, would it be possible to have a group of AIs determine who's right and who's wrong? That's how this came about: AI Judges. Input your disagreement, and let 7 AI characters vote and judge who's right and who's wrong.

For now, it's just a toy. Have fun playing with it!

What about "small tech"?

... because it's small tech that need Section 230. If anything, retraction of 230 will be the real free ride for big tech, because it will kill all chance of threatening competition at the next level down.

The intermittency is a huge problem. Grid scale batteries and/or pumped hydro are laughably inadequate for bridging the gap. Wind and solar energy is only cheap when they aren’t responsible for maintaining baseload capacity on the grid.

Simply consider the case of China. They install and export more solar PV than anyone else in the world, and they are aggressively building out wind as well. It is literally impossible to get a better price than China when it comes to renewable energy, yet for some reason the Chinese have decided to dump tens of billions of dollars into nuclear energy.

> The CDA was about making it clearly criminal to send obscene content to minors via the internet.

Basically true.

> Section 230 was intended to clarify the common carrier role of ISPs and similar providers of third party content.

No, it wasn't, and you can tell that because there is literally not a single word to that effect in Section 230. It was to enable information service providers to exercise editorial control over user-submitted content without acquiring publisher-style liability, because the alternative, giving liability decisions occurring at the time and the way providers were reacting to them, was that any site using user-sourced content at scale would, to mitigate legal risk, be completely unmoderated, which was the opposite of the vision the authors of Section 230 and the broader CDA had for the internet. There are no "common carrier" obligations or protections in Section 230. The terms of the protection are the opposite of common carrier, and while there are limitations on the protections, there are no common carrier like obligations attached to them.

The problem is that those other businesses aren't really his. There are too many other people on board. They're also not related businesses. It's one of thing if there's a cabal of companies acting in concert to stifle competition, but these companies are as different as they could possibly be.

Now stockholders should be asking whether going into Brazil is worth the risk because any major stockholder might be punished for their position in an entirely unrelated company. The answer may be yes, it's worth the risk, but the question should definitely be asked.
Given the sheer breadths of topics (many non-tech), it'd be hard to to get expters to help cater every list. and of course, these kinds of skill workflows will always be opiionated. I can vouch in for game dev on a few odd sticklers:

- There's definietely a lot of fluff in the beginning and a few odd side roads. Fluff is definitely fine in the beginning (yes, you ideally should play games, and especially bad ones), but some seem a bit useless without more direction. like following a dev stream or learning about accessibility features (which I think is great, but this is so far into the future unless your audience is someone who needs it. Accessibility is polish beyond polish).

- There's an odd focus on tech that implies "more tools good". Make a game in Renpy, then make one in godot later on, then learn a 2d and 3d engine? as a nitpick I also find it funny that "make a game in Unreal Engine" either requires a game in Unity, a VR game, or this scenic route of level design and user research. What's your goal and game motivation? I go with the Bruce Lee mentality here. Pick a direction, pick a tool, then get really good at that tool. devs make games, not tools.

- similar story with game features and ieas. AI (game AI not llm), procedural generation, voice acting, puzzles, modding, etc? Some people could go their entire careers and not need to use these for their games. It's a general purpose list but I guess this is where roadmaps could help. you definitely need different steps to work on a puzzle game compared to VN, compared to a procgen'd rougelite.

- "fail to submit a game jam game before the deadline"... well, I didn't ask for a personal attack :(
A nice thing about Go is that it's pretty easy to read other people's code, like libraries you might want to use.

Section 230 hasn't changed or been revoked or anything, so, from what I understand, manual moderation is perfectly fine, as long as that is what it is: moderation. What the ruling says is that "recommended" content and personalised "for you" pages are themselves speech by the platform, rather than moderation, and are therefore not under the purview of Section 230.

For HN, Dang's efforts at keeping civility don't interfere with Section 230. The part relevant to this ruling is whatever system takes recency and upvotes, and ranks the front page posts and comments within each post.

This is a separate thing with the same name. Although both share some common ideas. The grimfang4/sdl-gpu is a separate library used with SDL, while the new SDL GPU API is directly part of SDL. grimfang4/sdl-gpu is much older and works with today's SDL 2.

The grimfang4/sdl-gpu was one good way to take advantage of modern GPUs in a simple way and workaround the holes/limitations of the old SDL 2D API. The new SDL 3 GPU API will likely make the need for things like grimfang4/sdl-gpu redundant.

The design clearly wants to be a tree, though. I don't feel the intent was to fill out every skill tree, but the "start here" and direct graph structure implies some sort of roadmap.

It's less appealing, but a more directly communicative design would be more of a difficulty "bucket". Do X% of tasks in tier 1 and then start trying to tap into tier 2, etc.

It works the same, the price is just $0. I'm sure I'm missing nuances since I don't know this resort's business, but here's what I'd propose.

You let people register interest by Monday (potentially weeks in advance). You draw N lots on Tuesday. People get an email, they have the option to reserve a space and 24 hours to exercise it. M people do so. On Wednesday you draw N - M lots. You keep going until either you've assigned all the spaces or you've run out of time.

People will still exercise a greedy strategy, and they might cancel their interest ahead of time, but if the lottery hasn't started that's a free operation. If they click the link and indicate they aren't interested any longer, we can offer the spot to someone else immediately. If they never click the link, then it gets bumped to Wednesday. Hopefully that's tolerable.

How far you may register in advance and how long you have to exercise your option are variables that you can tune. If you're getting overwhelmed and failing to assign spaces, you reduce one or the other.

Last minute cancellations or spots that people repeatedly failed to click the link for, need to be assigned ASAP to avoid a dead weight loss; for these, you can fail back to the old system. Maybe you email everyone who hadn't gotten a space, and the first to click the link wins. If that were the edge case instead of the norm, it probably wouldn't be a big deal to give it to the bot folk. At that point, they're playing an important role in making this market efficient, the sort of HFTs of the ski resort.

Alternatively, you can do just one round and then go to first-to-click. That gives the people who aren't botting room to breathe, at least.

(After typing this all out though, I do see that this is conceptually simple but complex to implement.)

I can second this. The Museum of Computing was much more interesting to me than Bletchley Park. The working replicas of electro-mechanical computers were terrific, and the guides/operators there had a wealth of interesting knowledge and anecdotes. I learned much more about the use of these machines for code breaking there than I did at Bletchley Park.
I guarentee you this will let cops arrest you for not unlocking your phone because you "won't provide ID" and thus you are obstructing...
They shouldn't stop doing open source, they should just make sure they use the correct licence, like AGPL. Businesses will always take as much as they can and give back as little as they can. The "permissive" licences specifically allow them to give back nothing. Cue shocked Pikachu when they do exactly that.
> since it is Amazon it was more tightly coupled with AWS and benefited from being a native AWS solution. There was simply no way for Elastic to compete with that.

That's one interpretation. I've another, which I've seen play out multiple times now across multiple OSS projects: company invents a thing, thinks that because they're the inventor of said thing they'll be able to sell a managed version of it, belatedly realise that inventing a piece of software doesn't magically make you the best in the world at running it at scale.

What Elastic, and most like them, can't compete with is the ability to run highly available/reliable software at the scale of Amazon.

I think that "an hour to the nearest convenience" is far from civilization, but I'm Irish and this is a tiny country. Also, you could argue that, by definition, having a road and an RV kitted out with food, water and batteries is civilization. Even if I lived full time like that I'd feel like I owe some civilization somewhere, a tax. Who built this nice road? What hidden or socialised costs or subsidies went into kitting me out for remote life? When all is said and done, we can't survive without having some sort of connection to other groups. Going a few hundred miles away for a while and saying "I AM SELF SUFFICIENT!" is a bit silly.

And like I say, if you want peace and quiet you don't have to put your life at risk by going out of range of water, power, roads, phone coverage etc.

I've been experimenting with nobuild javascript lately, doing as much as I can with css instead of code, using htmx for the basic stuff, responding to events with clean vanilla js (with jsdoc for types) for what comes next and at some point if I absolutely need to go more complex, I'll build out the functionality using self-contained web components.

No build tool, no meta-compiler, everything is browser ready the second I type it. I might not even minify the code.

I'm not sure the experiment will succeed, but I'm hoping to build a paradigm that works with the browser instead of against it. I'm sure a lot of people will hate it, but I'm so burnt out on the typescript/node/react build chain that I'm having a lot of fun exploring a wildly different approach.
So I haven't used compute shaders though I remembered Godot having them and double checked. Interestingly they are direct glsl which makes me wonder if they only work in OGL contexts. Which would be... weird because Godot 4.3 shipped easy DirectX output support. I'm sort of tempted to test out making a compute shader and compiling to DX and see if it works.

Edit: Doing more digging according to the end of this forum thread they get compiled to SPIR-V and then to whatever backend is needed, be it GLSL, HLSL, etc.
