You're missing the point. Ownership implies the resource is scarce. If the resource is a pattern, which cannot be physically owned and my usage of the pattern doesn't prevent others from using the pattern, it's nonsensical to say it can be owned by anybody.
I had a different experience from what Matt is talking about - people being confused when I told them "just use WordPress" and instead of going to wordpress.org they went to wordpress.com, not to WP Engine.
I don't think Matt is being completely sincere here and just wants to bash the WordPress-as-a-service competition here.

Bad example. Probably not intentional, but of course they did kill XMPP usage in the end. Messenger (and all the other big tech non-XMPP platforms) is where the users are now. Nobody recently said "i need to get on XMPP to connect to my community, friends & family".

You can probably give an example that you actively use it, but you are probably one in a million.

Lets hope Meta is not going to steamroll over the fediverse in a similar way.

Why do you think bad actors "audit" open source more than good actors?

Isn't it more the case that all actors audit all software? Open source just has potentially more "auditors" than closed source?

If you might consider it, and YC wasn't a fit, I think something like tinyseed.com might be right up your alley.

This is both mission based, as well as a sore need. I don't feel good right now, for example, having to consider which accounting system I'll be using next. Because it should mostly just be an API first, and I guess some screens activated where the API can't just run processes for me.
Suboptimal if you're relying on RAII not for "regular" resources, but more abstract ones like "correctly bookended piece of persisted data".

Then again, I guess it's optimal if you're writing fault-resistant software.

> I run YouTube revanced not even for the Adblock but just to remove shorts. [...] I might feel differently about this one day and turn off the algorithm completely on YouTube, but I have not done so yet.

Turn off your YouTube history/algorithm. It’s free, and it immediately prevents the Shorts tab from working, and kills your homepage. This means you have to actively subscribe to YouTube channels you enjoy, or search for topics you want to know about in that moment. I cannot recommend it enough.
In 3D printing you need pieces that can fit together into each other, not merely tile together. It should however be quite interesting to extend the soft cell shapes to also fit together while preserving softness. Perhaps it is possible that the shown saddle-like shape in Fig 6, Panel 4 of the PNAS Nexus article can serve this purpose, but it is not clear how.
Particularly with Scrum, people get hung up on the 'rules' of the 'process'.

For example, following the rules of Scrum, if a developer finds a bug, decides to fix it, and wants to commit the fix such that it can be tested and closed out then that bug needs to first be assigned to the current sprint before the developer can touch it. It's extremely constraining and antagonistic towards shipping good software.

I want to ask and answer two of my own questions here:

1. Why clone Jeff's voice?

When I was messing with stable diffusion using Automatic1111's interface, I noticed it came with a big list of artists to add to the prompt to stylize the image in some way. There was a big row in the media about ai art reproducing artists work and many artists came forward feeling it was a personal attack. But... I mean the truth is more general than that. When I pressed a button to insert a random name into a prompt, my goal was not "yes give me this person's art for free", it was "style this somehow".

I wasn't personally interested in any particular artist, I honestly would have preferred a bunch of sliders.

Jeff here is clearly a good speaker. That's a practiced talent and voice actors exist because it's hard. Elecrow wanted a voice over and they wanted it to be as good as they could make it. Jeff is very good. So did they want Jeff?

I think what they really wanted was a good and cogent narration with the tenor of a person. Not a machine making noises that sound like english. If they had an easy way to get that, we wouldn't be talking about it here.

2. What function does copyright serve?

Well. I think a reasonable argument would be that if people were able to reproduce your work for free, you would quickly find yourself without a monetary incentive to make more of it.

So. What happens if you combine answer 1 with answer 2?

I think it leads to: "We should consider making it illegal to automatically reproduce the work of an artisan.", you know, the luddic argument. An argument that has been perceived to be, more or less, settled.

So it seems to me: That for individuals, harms matter, and for society, it doesn't.
Everyone whines when Mozilla does anything that isn't related to Firefox and I don't understand it. I use Firefox daily and I run into maybe 1 bug every 6 months which is much fewer than when I as running Chrome. What exactly do you want them to pour more resources into?

Increasingly, I am also blaming the Agile Manifesto for causing the mess we are all in.

the authors should have probably foreseen the future consequences of their wishy-washy manifesto declarations. I think "true Agile has never been implemented" should not absolve them from assuming some responsibility.

I don't know it it was because it was one of my first times with Docker or if it was Nextcloud that was screwing-up, but a native (non Docker) install solved all my problems. Was rock-solid ever since, up when I retired it recently due to unrelated reasons.
I was very disappointed with it as well. doesn't work as well as a windows 95 computer window management.

MacBook Airs are cheap, in my opinion. I spent $900 on mine 9 years ago. The amortized cost over its lifetime is very competitive with even the cheapest Windows laptops.

Even now, an M3 13in with 16GB ram and 512GB SSD is only $1,300. An M3 13in with 8GB ram and 256GB SSD is $900, and that would be good enough for 90% of people for 5+ years easy.

Counterargument: I started Canny and we were a "build in public" startup early on. Building in public was an invaluable marketing channel in the early days.

When you are just launching your product, it's really difficult to get those first users and any awareness at all.

If your target audience includes other people in tech, then building in public can be great marketing channel.

Posting about your ideas or your product just isn't that interesting. Posting how much money you're making is very interesting to other people who might want to follow your path.

Like all successful marketing channels, this channel is a lot more saturated these days than when we started (~2017), so it might not work as well anymore.

Microservices Are Technical Debt
What do you want to use it on?

Ollama works on anything: Windows, Linux, Mac and Nvidia or AMD. I don't know if other cards like Arc are supported by anything yet, bit of it supports the open Vulkan API (like AMD) then it should work.

Every inference server out there supports running from CPU, but realize that it's much slower than running on a GPU - that's why this revolution didn't begin until GPUs became powerful and affordable.

As far as being clear to setup, Ollama is trivial: it's a single command line that only asks what model you want and they provide you with a list on their website. They even have a Docker container if you don't want to worry about installing any dependencies. I don't know what could be easier than that.

Most other tools like LM Studio or Jan are just a fancy UI running llama.cpp as their server and using HuggingFace to download the models. They don't even offer anything beyond simple inference, such as RAG or agents.

I've yet to see anything more than a simple RAG that's available to use out of the box for local use. The only full service tools are online services like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT. Anyone else who wants to do that more advanced kind of system ends up writing their own code. It's not hard if you know Python - there are lots of libraries available like HuggingFace, LangChain, and Llama-Index, as well as millions of tutorials (every blog has one).

Maybe that's a sign that there's room for an open source platform for this kind of thing, but given that it's a young field and everyone is rushing to become the next big online service or toolkit, there might not be as much interest from developers to build an open source version of a high quality online service.
> Instead of creating or searching for a more precise word

This doesn’t work, though it seems to be a common misconception among engineers. Put simply, people will nickname neologisms. Creating a new term or pulling one from obscurity virtually begs for someone else to come up with a name people will actually use for you.
Self-hosting is no big deal but NextCloud -- from what I've seen -- is not very good. Used by the German government is not the recommendation you might think it is.

Well not completely. Lots of people see microblogging as the daily rant, the cat pictures. For them, it's not a big problem.

But for people like me that use microbloging as a way to publish content, that use the search feature quite often to retrieve past thoughts, past links, etc it's a fatal flaw, like other users told it.

Table salt does more than season food. It can increase your blood pressure and CVD outcomes, especially in the doses you get from packaged foods and some cuisines. That's something to consider when most of us are dying of heart disease.

I don't buy the claim that unrefined salt is less worse than refined salt because we're talking about minute amounts of nutrients. You get the nutrients from the food you eat, not the salt you put on it. Do the math and show me otherwise.

Restaurants are a good example of where this breaks down, though, I think.

There are cash-only bars with mechanical registers, and food trucks with no electric hookups, and small third-party kitchens in bars and corner stores that all have websites or at least social media profiles with hours, menu, location, etc.

These businesses have no interest in running a web server. They may not even have internet access onsite beyond employee cellphones.

We do, but many times customers are paying many thousands of dollars for feature requests and have particular deadlines they want it by. Especially in our industry where there are a handful of competitors fighting to get huge contracts. We sell to insurance companies, so there is a lot of legacy software being replaced.

Complaining about oiling a chain is silly (especially with dry lubes), so you deserve a little push back there, but you're not wrong fundamentally.

Bikes in general do need some love. Especially: old bikes, cheap bikes, and heavily used ones: MTB and e-Bikes. They need a LOT of labour if you use them seriously, and bike shops just gouge the shit out of people. My local shop rate is $140 per hour ... for what is very often a sub-par to dangerous quality of work.

I do virtually all of my bike wrenching myself, because I grew up poor and didn't have a choice, and now I do it because I'm stubborn and like to know it's done properly. If I had to pay for all the work I've done, we're talking many 10's of thousands of dollars (I put a lot of MTB miles in). This just makes the whole affair unworkable to a lot of people.

Biking can be extremely economical, but good lord the average bike shop makes it hard. And the community just lets them get away with it, justifying insane markups and gouging by saying you have to support your LBS (this may be mostly astroturfing).

And you guarantee you can release those resources with out error or exception all the time? If this is not the case then a destructor is the wrong place to be doing this work anyways. If an external service requires a client experiencing an error to manually release resources than that external service has significant design or protocol issues.

Many social/legal constructs are for lack of a better term, idiotic. Step back for a second and think about what ownership actually implies? Exclusive control over a scarce resource. If a resource isn't scarce, where your control over it doesn't impede or restrict other peoples control over it, there is no feasible model that explains why one person has control or ownership of it over another.

Social/legal constructs like owning ideas or the sound of a voice exist not because they make any sort of logical sense, they exist to give privilege and power to certain groups at the expense of others.
It's hard to believe because it's not true. You wrap the input with a label and it works.
>Source for they "systematically vilified ALL protestors"?

smearing peaceful marches as "hate marches", the tweet itself which explicitly states that the ideology of protestors i.e. supporting resistance against occupation makes them "terrorists", smearing protestors as "antisemites", this one is an all time classic, any resistance to the racist colonial project will lead zionists to smear you as an "antisemite" any chance they get

>Is this going to be the same thing as the original tweet, where they don't actually say all protesters are bad

So you would accept it when people would say that jews are pro-genocide and land theft but when accused of antisemitism you would say "no thats actually not antisemitism since he clearly didnt say ALL jews" - Ofc you wouldn't, that's where you would flip-flop on your logic and pretend like you never made the opposing argument. You engage in weaselly dishonest quarreling and you know it.

>In the case of the nazis, we know that's not the case because of what they did afterwards, but that doesn't give you license to extrapolate in every case. You can't extrapolate "I hate billionaires who don't pay their fair share of taxes" to "I hate all billionaires".

Ah ok, so in case of Nazis we can extrapolate because of their actions, but in case of these Zionists who systematically and persistently engaged in vilification of all protestors and justified genocide for almost a year we somehow can't, lol. The dishonesty is so glaring.

>Don't you think it's a bit irresponsible to paint the other side as a monolith?

Israeli propaganda couldn't even function without painting the other side as a monolith, their propaganda is that crude and dishonest. I mean it's funny how you once again turn the issue on its head where the propagandist vilifying peaceful protests as "hate marches" is somehow the victim. You are not a serious person and you've already wasted my time with incoherent denial hell-bent on denying the obvious.
It only would’ve cost you $600 if you paid the list price, which no uninsured patient should ever have to do.

Nope, I used the default in your github repository (10_000_000). From a quick profile it looked like previous benchmark allocations where crossing into later runs, who were then penalized unfairly, so I made those small adjustments.
The amount of data rapidly factors-out. One cat get the effect even for millions of points in 6d. It is the complexity of the model solution which is going to be degree D-1 polynomials over a shared degree D-1 denominator that drive the effect.

To perhaps give context here and to others:

270 users on an instance is 100% fine. There are tons of instances with ~1 person. It's a federated system, it's like them running their own email domain: it costs little and they can interact with everyone, and it provides a measure of provable identity beyond just "@mozilla on totally.real.mastodon.xyz".

It does come with maintenance and moderation needs though, e.g. picking which users and instances you want(/need) to block. And some... quirks... that mean joining a mega-instance actually does behave better than a small instance. Kinda like email.

So far I haven't seen any reasons given why they're shutting it down. Just "it's shutting down". "Only 270 users" is almost certainly not related to it though, closed-registration official hosts is completely normal. Kinda like email.
The Open Source AI‑Powered Code Editor
I think so but there are generally two competing philosophies. One is that startups should leverage cloud services as much as possible because of their relatively low resources required to get off the ground.

I think selfhosting open-source services is more useful for niche SMB's that specifically require on-prem data.
I wouldn't place all the blame on corporate IT for low level protocols dying out. A lot of corporate IT filtering was a reaction to malicious traffic originating from inside their networks.

I think filtering on university networks killed more protocols than corporate filtering. Corporate networks were rarely the place where someone stuck a server in the corner with a public IP hosting a bunch of random services. That however was very common in university networks.

When university networks (early 00s or so) started putting NAT on ResNets and filtering faculty networks is when a lot of random Internet servers started drying up. Universities had huge IPv4 blocks and would hand out their addresses to every machine on their networks. More than a few Web 1.0 companies started life on a random Sun machine in dorm rooms or the corner of a university computer lab.

When publicly routed IPs dried up so did random FTPs and small IRC servers. At the same time residential broadband was taking off but so were the sales of home routers with NAT. Hosting random raw socket protocols stopped being practical for a lot of people. By the time low cost VPSes became available a lot of old protocols had already died out.
