But doesn't the same logic apply to the database? Is the webserver / application layer really so much more CPU intensive (and/or prone to failure) than the database in sites "designed for business", such that you can't get away with not designing the webservers for load balancing, but you can get away with not designing the databases for sharding?

At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn't see it...

You have to apply for the social benefits here, like you would apply for a job. It is when the state government says no, you don't get to benefit from social welfare programs. In this case, TennCare, a health insurance system for the poor and disabled.

This government denies those applications at around a 50% rate, iirc. With that decision taking around 4 months to a year Then an appeal is launched, with that decision generally taking 2+ years. A judge rules on that appeal eventually.

A panel is convened with a couple of lawyers, the judge, a vocational expert (job fitness person), a health care professional, and yourself. Who you are and what you are capable of is summed up and deliberated upon. If you are deemed indigent, you are given an insurance policy with TennCare.

To be honest, the OpenSearch brand has more value now than Elastic.
This is really cool, and hints at a near-future possibility of building a search engine on top of just about anything. It's clear we've moved past the ability to just search for website url's and webpage content. Anything that can be indexed - regardless of type of data or dimension (space, time, etc.) will be searchable.
The other three answers to your question were dumb, so I'll try to do better. Kagi has a free trial of 100 searches without requiring a credit card to sign up. Honest to god, try it. Just bookmark it and search once or twice when Google or Bing is giving you meh results.

As an engineer... googling for stuff is a good fraction of your job. It's quite reasonable to pay to improve that experience. The only real question is what is reasonable to pay.
Does anyone see signs of data center usage being affected by electricity costs? I imagine a relatively near future where your AWS bill changes depending on the time of day, and so companies shift their computational work from region to region, following the sun.
If Amazon's OpenSearch plateaus, and everyone wants to host ElasticSearch, but on their existing AWS infra/sales business inertia, this issue will fundamentally reoccur. Nothing actually changed except Elastic thinks Amazon will commit to their own fork. If Amazon doesn't, we're back to square one: Amazon hosts open source ElasticSearch, Elastic changes their license, another fork.

"Amazon is fully invested in their fork." Amazon is a cutthroat business that will change strategy if their investment isn't paying off.

That this scenario isn't addressed at the very top of your "addressing the trolls" doesn't bode well at all.
@chungy, replying to your:
> 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?

Oh, I see what you mean. In your scenario, you can still write data, because creation and deletion of files is managed by the filesystem on the volume, not by Shufflecake. So, those slices (disk space) that you have previously allocated for the volumes will now still be there, but contain empty space that is recognized as such by the filesystem and can then be overwritten.

What might be improved, instead, is the fact that once a slice is empty because you have deleted all files, that slice still exists and is still assigned to the volumes which first allocated that. It might be good to have a system that reassigns that slice to the list of "unallocated" slices and that hence be claimed in future by other volumes. We have some ideas (using TRIM, see Section 6.6 of research paper) on how to implement that but, frankly, I personally think this is not extremely crucial, because it only matters if you exploit heavily the overcommitment feature (which we'd rather limit through the use of virtual quotas, as explained).
There's a coordination issue here. I'm astonished that so many people fail to see it. The result of one person donating $600k to charity / the treasury is completely different than ten thousand equally-wealthy people all paying $600k.

Which must be tosh, you can literally go to prison for years here for stating facts. What if some day somebody takes offence to 2+2=4? The guy who says 2+2=4 goes to jail for years whilst rapists and murders get away with 6 months or suspended sentences. But don't mention that, or else!

Even self defence is a dubious right here.
I once got called into jury duty and sat through jury selection. On that day, protesters were outside the courthouse calling awareness to jury nullification, so the judge brought it up. He said something like: "jury nullification is a constitutional right, but you waive those rights when you take the oath of a juror. It is not an option to you." I really wanted to say "but that constitutional right is not my right, it's the defendant's right. How can I waive the defendant's constitutional right to a trial where jury nullification is a possible outcome?" However, it was a rape trial, where nullification would be an awful outcome (basically saying: yeah, he raped her, but that shouldn't be illegal in this case ... yuck), so I kept my mouth shut. But it still bothers me that the judge was so glib about "waiving" the constitutional rights of the defendant.
Great, how long until they change the license again?

Too late, the community all moved over to OpenSearch.

I'll never forgive Elastic for locking basic security features behind their paid licence. Over the years probably millions of people had their data compromised due to that (due to people inadvertently leaving instances on the public internet - having auth enabled by default would have helped a lot)

FWIW, it's practically impossible to provide that guarantee because the API necessarily provides at least the data point of, "Did they select an option in the permission notification?" ("If yes, what option was selected?" etc.)

It's often said that the only solution to this is regulation and there seems to be a good case for that perspective.

So basically what you say is agreeing with his observations ?!

If you cold forge there are some benefits (but the question would be what can actually be reliably be cold forged and be a useful object in our precise world ?).
If you hot forge and/or heat treat, most of the benefits are lost pretty fast, so it doesn’t make much difference.

As the OP seems to intuit there is probably not much real strength benefits to forging for useful objects in real use cases scenarios, the reason they are forged have to do with manufacturing processes more than anything else.

At least this is what I understand…
I've found OpenSearch to be a bit flaky but I haven't worked with it very seriously compared to ElasticSearch

> I don't think you actually read that link. Or maybe you're hoping I don't.... The first part is just true - it's not up for debate.

You asked me to demonstrate that people make the argument, because you claimed that people don't make the argument. I showed you someone making the argument, and you have responded by reinforcing that argument.

The claim is that this "powerful implication[s] of racial supremacy" is harmful - we know this because the author is arguing that the change affirmatively should be made, and there is no reason to make the change without an appeal to such harm. But there is no attempt to explain how such harm would actually arise from simply using the terms as technical jargon. One might reasonably infer that the author is somehow claiming that such terminology justifies or advocates for racial supremacy; but there is no attempt to reason through that claim.

There is also no attempt to consider other potential implications of the term, nor the mindset which leads to this interpretation. Implication is only relevant in conjunction with inference, and these inferences are being drawn by clearly politically motivated people.

I did not ask for any change. I in fact criticized a change. Please stop trying to present change as non-change and vice-versa.

> "Doing nothing" IS NOT an apolitical stance.

Yes, it is. This, in your words, is "just true" and "not up for debate". But the fact that you would propose such a thing, perfectly betrays your agenda in posting here.

> the reason why master is used in the first place is inherently political

To be clear, are you asserting that the person who originally chose the term, had the explicit goal of expressing "powerful implications of racial supremacy and oppression" in version control software?

If you are not claiming that, then it is very obvious that "the reason why [the term] is used" is not political.

If you are, then you are, in fact, calling people monsters for sticking with it, and you are also making an inflammatory claim without evidence.
[edit: found another comment which you replied to, and now I see that you already knew all this. Oops.
Original comment follows]

Maybe you know the thing I’m about to say and just consider it to be too pedantic, but:

The question to ask of a system is not [whether it is “in a superposition” or “not in a superposition”], but rather, [whether it is “in a superposition of these different states” or “in a specific one of these states”].

Suppose I have a particle which I know is spin up (ignore the position aspect of things, considering only the spin). Is it “in a superposition”? One might be tempted to say “no, it is spin up.”, but the correct response is “A superposition of what? Anything? If so, then trivially yes.” .
Because “spin up” can be regarded as a superposition of “spin left” and “spin right”, or as “spin northeast” and “spin southwest”.
Likewise, “spin left” can be regarded as a superposition of “spin up” and “spin down”.

To usefully ask whether something is “in a superposition”, you have to specify what states you are regarding as the basis, as far as the question is concerned (or, alternatively, with respect to what observables, where “in a superposition with respect to those observables” would mean that if those observables were measured, the result would be random* ).

Now, why don’t we observe superpositions of states of macroscopic things which differ according to ordinary observables such as “x coordinate of center of mass”? In don’t know. That may be something still not understood. I don’t really understand these attempts, but I think there are things called “pointer states” and a process known as “einselection” which are supposed to help explain that? (Though it has been argued that this explanation involving einselection may be somewhat circular?)
What, force them to work for free?

If not, what do you mean by “require”?
> I think the ultimate problem is that social media is not unbiased — it curates what people are shown.

This is literally the purpose of Section 230. It's Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The purpose was to change the law so platforms could moderate content without incurring liability, because the law was previously that doing any moderation made you liable for whatever users posted, and you don't want a world where removing/downranking spam or pornography or trolling causes you to get sued for unrelated things you didn't remove.
Seems to be references to Kendrick Lamar songs... for some reason?
Yup, lots of moochers out there. Makes sense to me.
They are Kendrick Lamar song titles. Not clear to me why, though
Assume around $3/hr per H100 (pretty generous pricing for GCP), that is $2250/month-gpu, or for their fleet of 8000 comes to $18MM/month or around $216MM/year in just compute costs alone, not looking at SSD, bucket storage, or egress.
At their initial investment of 465-320=$145MM that means they can’t have operated that cluster for longer than 6ish months without their funds running dry or the got massive discounts somewhere.

Something doesn’t add up here.
Source? Unless you're locked into the Amazon flavor of cloud hell I'm pretty sure most people are using the "real" elasticsearch. I know I am.
Whatever this means, I hope it means less censorship. That's all my feeble brain can focus on here: free speech good, censorship bad. :)
These are songs by Kendrick Lamar. I guess that these were used to try and add a youthful, lighthearted touch to the article? Didn't work on me though.
> For example, MongoDB used to be AGPL and Grafana is AGPL. It shows that AGPL doesn’t affect usage or popularity.

I take some issue with this characterization. Let's look at Grafana in particular. Grafana was not always AGPL, and much of its popularity came before the license change. I've been in multiple organizations who only purchased a license for Grafana to avoid the AGPL terms because it had gained traction already in the organization and switching away would have been more costly, and AGPL software is still outright banned.

That Grafana is still popular does not show that the AGPL doesn't impact usage or popularity, only that Grafana is still popular.
AI is expensive to host, and I don't trust their puke. I'd rather get a classic result page. Kagi is great.

Anything that diffuses point sources of light will help a lot with glare. I personally like sheer curtains and strategically placed plants. Another option is to buy tinting for your windows. It allows you to suppress the light from them while maintaining a natural light environment.
> > Terms like master-slave carry powerful implications of racial supremacy and oppression, and have no place in our lexicon

> The first part is just true - it's not up for debate. The second part, "it doesn't belong", is just opinion.

The first part is an opinion shared by people obsessed with race. Honestly even disregarding that we're talking about "master" without "slave", "master/slave" outside of technology makes me think of BDSM first. Nothing racial about it.
We have a vendor that refuses to support ES 8.x due to license fears, so we're just migrating everything over to OpenSearch.

> hold their own moral/ethical code above the law ... I might agree with you that the law is bullshit

This is the entire reason that we have trial by jury and not trial by judge. I'm not sure how this got lost over the centuries. If 12 of your peers think you did it but the law is bullshit and you shouldn't have your life destroyed because of some stupid technicality in a bullshit law, then you should walk free! I'm aware this has been used to horrible ends in the past (e.g. 12 white jurors nullifying a lynching) but that's a problem with jury selection (and those so-called peers), not with nullification.

> You're literally describing jury nullification in a situation where by the hypothetical judge's instructions they're obviously guilty

Yes, that is the only time nullification is relevant. If a judge can lead the jury to one verdict or another via his instructions, then it's not a trial by jury at all. It's a trial by judge. The founders understood that -- they didn't want a trial by judge. The jury is a check on the judge's power!

How would they be selected? Would it work like extended jury duty?

Also, how will the salary difference be made up? If I'm making just enough to pay for my food & rent/mortgage, and suddenly I'm working on a public teacher salary for a year, what happens to my house and family when suddenly my salary is cut by anywhere from 50 to 90%?
Similarly, I hate when the "secret song" from a CD is still a part of that track when on streaming -- which results in a song that is followed by minutes of silence before the 'hidden track' comes in. It makes it impossible to add it to playlists. (I'd assume this is an artist choice?)
It depends on the student being taught. Most (HS) students will do better with the excellent teacher than the subject matter expert. Perhaps what you actually want is for unusually bright or creative students to have access to experts? Maybe some sort of opportunity to observe and even help them in their field? Perhaps we could call it something that doesn’t sound anything like the activity in question, something like “interning.”
