I wonder if there are crowd-sourced iptables instead. Similar to how ad filters are maintained.
The answer is not rocket science. JWST saw something, scientists made an interpretation, there should be an explanation "why" somewhere. And you won't need to write a textbook on that because you can cite prior work.
> Humans get along with similarly massive pachyderms now.

Some humans do on a single continent which has a human population density half that of Eurasia, and even that not particularly smoothly:

Well for one, a rate limiting factor is gestation period which is proportionally long for elephants.

You’d probably be better off farming Homo sapiens or maybe reviving some other species of homo. Put them in gestational pods to harvest their metabolic heat energy. Maybe run mental simulations of various things via neural link.

I never said they were, but the judge isn't wrong for deciding on legality rather than morality.
I see that you saw “crybaby libertarian” and felt compelled to comment on it but did not read “coup” and feel the same way.

“I see you said a mean thing, mayhaps you did not write anything else before or after that” is not a correct way to point out an ad hominem fallacy.

Which of the following statements would you agree with most?

A. This whole thing is not about the events of January 8th

B. The events of January 8th were good, actually. They should be repeated until the current government is forcibly overthrown and someone sympathetic to Bolsonaro is installed.

C. I do not care about the events of January 8th. My concept of freedom of speech covers incitement to violence, a right that does not exist in any country.
This is a good piece in that there is absolutely truth to it -- but it's also a bit dangerously non-specific in that it potentially leaves founders with the notion that whatever they happen to think is tautologically correct. To supplement this piece, I would make three specific recommendations that I think tack into the same themes (namely: mistakes founders make -- including trusting the wrong people at the wrong times), but with quite a bit more detail.

First, Tim O'Reilly wrote a superlative piece in 2013, "How I Failed."[0] I cannot recommend this piece highly enough, and it had enormous impact on me as a founder. Its message is quite a bit more complicated than the Graham piece: there are times to stand your ground and resist conventional wisdom (HR in O'Reilly's piece), and there are times when expert practitioners of that conventional wisdom will save your bacon (the CFO in O'Reilly's piece). And the truth is more complicated still in that O'Reilly's specifics may or may not be the ones that a founder needs to apply to their own situation.

Second -- and I recommend this whenever anyone mentions Jobs -- is Randall Stross's "Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing"[1], a history of NeXT written at Jobs' darkest hour. An extraordinary book that will leave you with a much more nuanced view of Jobs: not only in terms of his strengths (definitely those!) and his weaknesses (here in spades!) but especially the way that the NeXT experience surely informed Jobs's (much more successful) return to Apple. (It is a galling failure of the Issacson biography that he spends so little time on NeXT.) Selfishly, I would also recommend our Oxide and Friends discussion of the book.[2]

Third (and finally): a very common specific mistake that technical founders make is how they build out a go-to-market team. This isn't discussed nearly enough, and I was on a podcast episode of Software Misadventures ("Ditching the Rules to Build a Team that Lasts"[3]) with my own co-founder (who came up on the go-to-market side) in which he elaborates on this mistake -- and how founders can avoid it.

> It’s also the case that preferences shouldn’t be respected in all cases. For instance, I don’t think that academics or journalists doing prosocial research should necessarily be foreclosed from accessing data with machines that is already public, on websites that anyone could go visit themselves.

Screw that. Research is about ethical consent. Also this is very much "well everyone should let me (a researcher) access whatever I like"
That is the easiest part

Google cloud managed postgres accepts both old school passwords and IAM users (where you never see the password, it's baked into the DB).
> People, and leaders who are building "cool demos". Things that tell a great story, but somehow never materialize into any material revenue for the company.

It takes experience to see something awesome, and still drill into who asked for it, what problem is it solving, what value is it generating for the end user, etc.

It's easy to forget that sometimes even something super cool is not that useful and when the rubber hits the road, no-one will pay for it.
That’s their expectation but not the original design. The design of HTTP is that, if you run a web server, you are willing to send content to anyone that sends you a HTTP request. Anyone putting content online with a system like that should expect the data to go out to as many as request it.

Alternative systems, like paywalls with prominent terms and conditions, exist to protect copyrighted content. They intentionally avoid them. So, they’re using a system designed for unrestricted distribution to publish content they hope people will use in restricted ways. I think the default, reasonable expectation should be that anyone can scrape public data for at least personal use.
Characteristics like "Stay optimistic at all times", "Make people feel excited and energized", and "Behave in a completely authentic way" are not really things I associated with rockstar/10x engineers (which is also a complete BS label for different reasons).
I had a nice version of this from maybe 2019 or 2020 that I kept above my desk for reference while working before moving to a new home a while back. I really liked it and may end up getting another one, I would prefer something a bit newer but it does take time to compile and make these. Highly reccomended for anyone working in the online space, I found a lot of cool foreign services I had no idea existed through the map.

Moraes was granted that authority by the Supreme Court, so it is legal. Whether it's right or wrong is a different question, but Moraes' actions are not "illegal".

Moraes does seem to be acting like an unaccountable little dictator in his fiefdom, which is dangerous. But then again Elon acts like an unaccountable little dictator in his fiefdom, which is also dangerous, so I don't really mind that X is getting banned. I'd feel completely differently if it were Mastodon or even some other commercial network over which a single person doesn't have an iron grip.

"Today, all species of elephant are hunted specifically for their meat. This occurs notably in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. During ivory hunts by poachers, meat may be taken as a by-product for eventual sale, or to feed the hunting party. As of 2007, wildlife experts expressed concerns that the major threat to elephants may become the demand for meat rather than the ivory trade. Organisations such as the WWF and TRAFFIC are campaigning to reduce consumption levels as this, along with the ivory trade, leads to as many as 55 individuals being killed a day."

Sometimes I agree, but recently I was trying to copy all the contents from one Quip to another and the system was entirely unable to support pasting the same look&feel I copied. No, I don’t want my headings and links and code and lists and…… to all be given back as plain ASCII. Drove me bonkers.
The article does briefly mention a strong example of this in Switzerland:

> "Several European governments considered it their responsibility to provide safe hiding places for their citizens. No nation took this more seriously than Switzerland. In the nineteen-sixties, the country mandated the construction of shelter space for every inhabitant; today there are roughly nine million bunker spots for a population of 8.8 million—enough for some refugees to bring a plus-one."
I’m the author, I just got tired of using a DSL and wanted a way to programmatically write/build a graph and quickly see the rendering.

DLS-based diagramming tools like Terrastruct, mermaid, or graphviz definitely have their perks and are very well established for manual graph curation. But I found the lack of programmatic tooling (except terrastruct) a bit of a pain point.
The winds may be changing, but those who don't fear resorting to piracy will always be sailing smoothly. We will just have more walled gardens and more illegal offerings, leaving normal people stranded and thirsty.
The sense of pointlessness in this case isn't "I'll never take advantage of those roads", it's "this feels more like someone wanting to cosplay Jurassic Park than it does a serious effort to do something useful for biodiversity".
"Better off" doesn't mean much. We would be better off doing neither of these, but being better off is not the goal - the goal is to eat an elephant or a mammoth.

Seems like the gestation period would make it more of a luxury.
Bit late to the party, but do you have experience with using NVRHI and can tell how useful / simple it is to get started with doing some hobbyist / bordering serious work?
I hate sounding like a broken record but my belief is that car makers are more excited about XXXXL cars in American than car buyers are. The media is consistently complicit in covering this up, sounding like the brainwashed soldiers in The Manchurian Candidate

It's not to say that we don't like big cars because we do, but walk into a car dealership looking for a small car and they will tell you they are out of stock of new ones of the model you want because the factory washed out in a flood but then they have 100 SUVs in a row unsold that nobody wants to buy made in the same factory. Your only choice is a used return that somebody sold back to them yesterday afternoon.

Go into a dealership looking for an S car and they will try to sell you an L, go in looking for an M and get an XL and so forth. If you drive out with a $25,000 car when you could could of driven out with a $50,000 car they perceive it as a $25,000 loss! No wonder mainstream car brands can't sell electrics.
There's some serious flaws in your reasoning.

TCP guarantees order [as long as the connection is active] but it is far from being 'perfectly reliable'.

Example: sender sends, connection drops, sender has no idea whether the receiver received.

In other words, it works until it doesn't.
The fact that sometimes it doesn't means it's not perfect.

TCP is a great tool but it doesn't violate the laws of physics.

I think you’re arguing backwards from the assumption that people aren’t learning those skills because it’s Linux versus the actual learning of the skill itself.

Why would a frontend dev need to know how to configure a http server beyond what node or wamp/lamp gives them?

The number of full stack people is very low compared to dedicated backend and frontend folks. People focus on the needs of their job, and if their job doesn’t require wearing both hats they usually don’t go out of their way to do it.

Even at many companies that deploy things to the cloud, they’ll have dedicated folks for that because the people writing the code to run are busy writing the code.

That it eventually runs on Linux is not very meaningful to most devs unless their app needs special compiling configurations or libraries.
That sounds like you maybe read the post with a very preconceived idea. I didn't see anything there that seemed like "looking for someone to blame".

The public were not uneducated about this. If you remember how Y2K was presented to the public, it was ridiculously extreme - planes crashing, economies collapsing, etc. None of that happened, and not because all the bugs were fixed.

You can't fix all bugs, so if the consequences really were going to be catastrophic then you'd expect at least a handful of catastrophes to sneak through, but that didn't happen at all.
A view that a sentient entity has no rights but what the law gives is incompatible with that entity’s agency. Enumeration of rights is for the purpose of limiting the laws that govern any entity’s behavior and are not a specification for what the entity may do.
Free market healthcare means it gets cheaper. Go pay cash at a doctor or a surgeon — it’s dramatically less expensive. The idea of comprehensive health insurance has ruined healthcare. Insurance should be to protect against financial risk from an unforeseen loss — a car crash should be insured, changing the oil should not. If car insurance covered tires and oil changes, car insurance would cost dramatically more.

I am from a third-world country that has its own set of problems. To believe that an outside party will come in a build a "better society" for the inhabitants papers over recent history and is almost comical.

"we could not govern ourselves" really belies how young many countries are and the unique challenges they face w.r.t. interference from developed nations. Nation building takes _time_ and I would implore you to think about the historical events that have shaped your nation.

Curious what people think is an appropriate request rate for crawling a web page. I have seen many examples where author will spin up N machines with M threads and just hammer a server up until it starts returning more than a certain failure rate.

Affirming the consequent is always an interesting one to me when it overlaps with a tragedy of the commons situation.

If publicly available content can be used in training sets, any one model willing to use them will have an advantage. Is it reasonable to assume then that all publicly available content is in the most popular training sets, or is that falling into the affirming the consequent fallacy?
Hmm, I stand corrected… and maybe aged a little. I have a memory of having to care about this many years ago :-/

Atomic Broadcast guarantees order of delivery.

Care to elaborate? Most things boil down to client side features like streaming the video with HLS or DASH, even if it's not live just to get the encoding benefits. DRM is its own thing.

I think it's important to have the distinction between delivering video content and the in-app experience. I do think streaming VOD is way easier than live content.
None the less dark actors are still going to get through and sell this data later.

The npm package is free to use, but closed source until I have bandwidth.

To be clear, you don’t need an account to use the npm package which has all of the functionality to perform layout and rendering. An account is only needed if you want to sync the graph and have a web page to view renderings. This is useful if you’ve instrumented a long lived application with Vizdom, but don’t want to produce a local layout/rendered image because you can’t really “view” it if the service is running in the cloud.

Lyudmyla Kozlovska: Protect Your Privacy Communication
I activated the Block AI Scrapers and Crawlers feature on Cloudflare months ago. When I checked the event logs, I was surprised by the persistent attempts from GPTBot, PetalBot, Amazonbot, and PerplexityBot to crawl my site. They were making multiple requests per hour.

Considering my blog's niche focus on A/V production with Linux, I can only imagine how much more frequent their crawling would be on more popular websites.

My mom subscribed to Byte magazine, and Ciarcia's articles were inspiring to me too. That, and Goedel, Escher, Bach. Oddly enough I ended up at a college with no engineering program, but my physics professor was an electronics expert, and I majored in math and physics. Since then, virtually everything I've done with physics has involved electronics and computers, often working together.

Radio Shack had a book on the Z80, that I think was the same as the Howard Sams book, but with a different cover. It was so clearly written, that even to this day, my ability to conceptualize the innards of computers is strongly biased by the Z80 architecture.
