There's very little "behind" here, just a bunch of speculation on public articles, many of which are recent and not about how S3 scaled.
Of the people that I know that are either in a similar situation (of having gone 100% no-contact) or even those that meet their parents for Christmas and Easter but otherwise keep them on an information diet about their own lives (so about a dozen, let's say), not a single one of them told me their situation first. They only opened up after I casually mentioned that I fired my parents in response to a much smaller parent-related complaint on their part.

Excluding leaks, the ISP does not see the hostnames, what it sees are the IPs you're connecting to. 20% of internet traffic goes through Cloudflare, so at least for those, the IPs are meaningless.

Both privacy and security are layered, and perfect is the enemy of good. Securing the DNS is an obvious first step, forcing the Internet to HTTPS by default was another. Google and Mozilla have contributed to better privacy. People that want more privacy, depending on needs, can also use a VPN or for the more extreme cases, something like Tor.

Not sure what you mean about having to trust Google or Mozilla. I'm not using either Google's or Mozilla's DoH servers. But yes, I would trust them more than my local ISP. Google, at least, proved quite competent in handling whatever data they collect.
Holy smokes. End of an era.

You can set DBX_CONTAINER_HOME_PREFIX=~/allmyboxes in ~/.config/distrobox/distrobox.conf to do that. It will share ~/allmyboxes/my-debian-distrobox1 as the home dir.

If you pass --dry-run, it will spit out the underlying podman/docker command. That was frankly better than trying to find documentation.

The article states:

1956: a 3.75MB drive cost $9k
2024: 26TB drives exist, where 1TB costs $15

I think that radically understates the cost of storage in 1956, when people used mercury delay lines, drum drives, core memory, williams tubes, etc. 1956 was a long time ago and stuff done back then was physically huge, microscopic "modern" units and enormously expensive. Thank goodness photolithography and being able to scale semiconductor transistors...

It apparently cost $3200 per month to lease one of them [1] so actually a storage payment model akin to S3...

> Convincing a whole generation of programmers that distributed lock are a feasible solution.

I too hate this. Not just because the edge cases exist, but also because of the related property: it makes the system very hard to reason about.

Questions that should be simple become complicated. What happens when the distributed locking system is down? What happens when we reboot all the nodes at once? What if they don't come down at exactly the same time and there's leader churn for like 2 minutes? Etc, etc.

Those questions should be fairly simple, but become something where a senior dev is having to trace codepaths and draw on a whiteboard to figure it out. It's not even enough to understand how a single node works in-depth, they have to figure out how this node works but also how this node's state might impact another node's.

All of this is much simpler in leaderless systems (where the leader system is replaced with idempotency or a scheduler or something else).

I very strongly prefer avoiding leader systems; it's a method of last resort when literally nothing else will work. I would much rather scale a SQL database to support the queries for idempotency than deal with a leader system.

I've never seen an idempotent system switch to a leader system, but I've sure seen the reverse a few times.

They don't consider it technically identical. The design goal was to make something that's significantly better in some way or another. Which is very unlike pie baking.

Maybe not. But point about limited liability still holds.
> We're talking about limited liability companies, not people. They're separate entities.

I know, but this still doesn't validate the logic "I am curious about it therefore I must be given rights to access any information I want".

> I'm talking about 'useful' to people doing business with that company.

This makes even less sense. Nobody checks the list of shareholders of Walmart each time they go to buy milk. And you definitely are not "doing business with" the investors - you're at most are doing business with the management and the line workers. Surely, for mom-and-pop shops those are the same people, but for any company of decent size, and for pretty much any startup company out there, you never "doing business with" the investors - they at most advise the management, but they do not actually run things.

> You don't want to go in to business with a company that's about to go under.

That has nothing to do with the list of investors. The same investors could invest in a wildly successful and completely failing businesses, at the same time, and knowing the list of investors gives you zero information about whether or not the company is about to go under.

IMO IEE-754 is pretty good, but could be a bunch better. I really wish they had gotten rid of -0, Infs and all but one of the NaNs (which you would encode as -0 currently is encoded and be equal to itself). Currently the behavior of which NaN gets produced is unspecified and inconsistent across hardware which really sucks. Also, the exponent bias should be changed so that every nonzero finite value has a representable finite inverse. Currently 1/subnormal is Inf which is really annoying since ti means transforming x/y to x*(1/y) can overflow.

I don't know if hate is the motivation here. Munchausen by proxy (now apparently called FDIA) is a recognized mental illness, and it's usually motivated by other things than hate. Consider the possibility that divorce is the opposite of the goal: a sick and dependent spouse can't leave you.

Apple Gets Concept Renderer to Take Down Concept Art for Being 'Too Realistic'

In my experience this is far more rare than a well written, comprehensive set of instructions.

Even the tiniest youtube channel with 3 digit subscriber numbers recorded on the owners phone will edit out the "boring" bits. At least for any task that takes more than 2-3 minutes. If the task is short enough then yeah, they will often leave in the whole thing.
Google is paying Apple 20 billion per year in their search deal, which is 40 times more than what Mozilla takes.

Safari is funded ENTIRELY by Google's ads, also making a profit, and this is a fact. We can entertain a counterfactual, maybe Safari would still be funded without Google funding it with billions, but that's not the world we live in today.

And given Apple's reluctance to advance the web, going against their other cash cows, it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise. I recommend reading this opinion: https://infrequently.org/2022/06/apple-is-not-defending-brow...
Cable is laced with advertising and is linear, whereas much of the world has moved on to on demand. Further, what folks always wanted back in the days before streaming was the ability not to pay for genres they didn't want. Netflix had a reasonable low price for a while so it was worth it even if you only really watched one or two genres they had, and ignored the rest of the content. But with higher prices, it is ever more difficult to justify. Disney used to offer Disney, Hulu, and ESPN separately or as a bundle, so if you didn't watch sports, you could just get Disney and Hulu. Or if you just wanted Disney, you could get that. But they have raised prices and increasingly pushed bundling.

I for one would be perfectly willing to have an option where I could get Westerns for 2 or 3 bucks a month, Action/super heros for 2 or 3 bucks, SciFi for 2 or 3 bucks, Romance/RomCom for a buck. Kids/cartoons for a buck or two etc. And then choose what I want to subscribe to each month. But if you are going to charge me 20 bucks a month, you had better have 20 bucks a month worth of content that I actually want to watch. (and no ads). Oh, and stop making good shows with cliff hanger endings and then canceling them!

I don't know about you but I'm speaking from experience, not hypothetically. I shared multiple open source side projects where I made something for myself then shared it with the world.

Can you expand? the vast majority of open source projects don't make a dime. I don't see the ulterior motive you're talking about. Unless you mean like they get more GitHub stars?
There is a demographic pyramid. Once the trend sets in, it’s almost impossible to reverse. You can see the pyramid now and get an idea how their population will look like. Current year growth is not informative.

Ask HN: Best Open Source Tools for Audio Analysis on Web?
I'm looking to explore the latest technology for performing audio analysis on the web, both on the frontend and backend.

Specifically, I'm interested in open-source solutions that can:

Extract stems from audio files

Identify genres or moods

Separate different tracks or elements (e.g., vocals, instruments)

Analyze and generate metadata or insights from audio files

The goal is to automate and enhance the experience for users who upload their music or audio files by extracting useful information that can help them optimize their content. Are there any cutting-edge tools, libraries, or frameworks in the open-source space that you would recommend?

Additionally, if anyone has ideas on other ways to leverage audio analysis for music producers or content creators, I'd love to hear them. Features like automated mix feedback, real-time audio enhancements, or even AI-driven suggestions could be really impactful.

Thanks in advance!

Musk is well known to tweet inflammatory, controversial, or fake stuff and delete the tweet after few days.

I personally observe some of his viral tweet to be deleted later multiple times.

At some point I had a burst of motivation to start writing a bot to keep track of all the stuff he deleted for people like you to observe, but was quickly disgusted to waste any time to be on top of the argument with some stranger.

So yeah, without google or other search engine's ability to index the whole twitter, everything is written there is hearsay I guess.

Zero to Hero: Crafting a Custom GPT
> needing 100 different subscriptions to get some good content.

Mind this is sort of how it used to work.

Outside of broadcast TV and radio, you either subscribed to everything (newspapers, magazines, newsletters) or you bought them ad hoc one by one at the newsstand.

A problem with modern subscriptions is that they auto renew, and thus can be hard to cancel, and they tend to be quite expensive (everyone wants a “mere” $10/month).
I know some people that like to buy used trailers and then spend tons of their time fixing and complaining about leaks, rotted vinyl, etc.
No, that is indeed the working principle (plus minus some yak shaving with iommus and what not). It certainly doesn't use XDP, that would defeat the purpose.
The article says that the doctors found high concentrations of Vitamin D in the water bottle he brought in. The video in which she apparently doses this bottle is dated July 23, 2021. According to the article, she was arrested later that same evening. So not a lot of time for her to change strategies from Vitamin D to KCl. Either the bottle contained Vitamin D, the author is incorrect, or else the police seized the wrong bottle.

I wonder if there will come a point when AI transcription/summarization gets good enough that, for any channel that cares, they can continue making their videos to pay the bills and also, for a trivial cost, publish associated articles for the people who prefer it. Given the assumption that not enough people will read articles to pay the bills, this shouldn't detract from their view count/income too much, and will provide a dramatically better experience for those who care.

And if the channels themselves won't do it, I wonder when it will be possible for the user to do it.

It seems like this is probably something that is already possible in a "good enough usually, even if not perfect" sense. I can imagine not too far in the future that a version of this could even embed clips/screenshots from the video for any portions where seeing how it is done is a useful addition to the text.

City of Columbus sues expert who exposed extent of cyberattack
I'm saying that companies that opensource their products tend to distinguish "enterprise" and non-enterprise based on things like RBAC and audit mechanisms, neither of which is "security" as much as "compliance".

The original license owner, if a commercial enterprise trying to sell the product alongside the "open" version, has less incentive to accept those features from the community as it would reduce their sales of the enterprise version of the same thing, and may not align with their long-term product roadmap.

In open source, the team managing a codebase isn't under any obligation to accept contributions the community and you are welcome to fork the project, if you like.
> And of course they want to cater to advertisers because it is advertising that maintains the open web

As someone who worked both on advertiser and publisher sides (incl. content monetisation): advertisers like to say that they support publishers and the open web, but in fact, they are keeping it hostage.

We've had the means/tech to support publishers directly for years (I don't mean crypto). It's in the interest of companies like Google to keep users (and publishers, and brands) in the dark. And one of the issues here is that they have so much impact on the discourse. There are only few places, where I saw more people using ad blockers than the adtech businesses I worked with or at.

> Nobody wants to pay for a browser

True, but I don't think people would have an issue with paying for browsers if they understood the value of it. At this stage, I think the only solution would involve:

1) education
2) regulation/better legislation
I don't use an adblocker out of entitlement. I use an adblocker because I don't want to be tracked, I don't want to be surveilled, I don't want my information hoarded/sold/leaked, I don't want to be influenced by legions of marketers looking to hijack my monkey brain, I don't want to be scammed by paid ads masquerading as organic content, and I don't want to expose myself to yet another vector for malware.

From a user perspective, ads are all downside, no upside. I pay for my content and I use an adblocker, and that's the only way to survive on the internet these days, because the ruthless pursuit of profit by short-sighted surveillance capitalists has ruined advertising as anything approaching an ethical business model.
Riight... And everyone's the same. And we can decide what's true without scientific evidence.
