>Old social media never gave full access to the firehose so there’s a pretty big difference.

That is good, but it's still a centralized source of truth.

>If you want large scale social networks, you need to work with a large scale of data. Since federated open queries aren’t feasible, you need big machines.

Thats just simply not true. ActivityPub does perfectly without the need of any bulky machine or node acting as a relay for the rest of the network. Every single ActivityPub service only ever interacts with other discovered services. Messages aren't broadcast through a central firehose, they're sent directly to who needs to receive them. This is a fundamental difference with how both protocols work. With ATProto you NEED to connect to some centralized relay that will broker your messages for you. With ActivityPub, there is no middle man, Instances just talk directly to each other. This is why ActivityPub has a discovery problem by the way, but it's just a symptom of real federation.

>and is how ActivityPub works by nature.

It's not. See Above.

No, the ping is 150 ms to us-west-2, and the tiles load in like 5 seconds on a cold start. Of course we cannot test cold start on HN comments because HN is the definition of hot :-)

I can imagine workers to be fast, it's the range requests which are super slow. It's also outside of your control, it depends on how Cloudflare and S3 handles range requests to 90 GB files.

I think if you could make PMTiles split into files <10 MB, it'd be perfect with range requests.

A while ago now, the Oklo nuclear reactor ran - according to wikipedia [0] - for a few hundred thousand years albeit only with power levels averaging less than 100 kilowatts. It was discovered because there was a discrepancy in the amount of uranium expected from a mine and the amount they actually got.

I wanted to add- in general if you make a simple calculation or model of some real phenomena, such as taking the mean, median, or mode of a real set of data- and the conclusions you then draw from each are fundamentally incompatible, then you made a mistake somewhere in drawing those conclusions.

The replies to my original comment are basically mostly people making this same category of mistake and arguing which is "correct" - the average or the mode of the same distribution. Unfortunately, I chose a really bad example where people already hold strong almost religious or political opinions, rather than something generic that just illustrates the math.

Hydrogen fused by the sun, which generates the energy both solar panels and wind power utilizes, are not renewable by this definition.

By the time we run out of nuclear fuel, we will be making gravity-confined fusion reactors with shells made of solar panels, aka artificial suns for energy.

This seems highly dubious. The supply of rental housing in Buenos Aires has jumped by 195.23%. There is no way that much new housing was built, so something structural was converted to housing. My guess is increasingly poor people opening up their homes to people renting rooms.
Apps are usually first party, which makes a big difference.

The thing that seems to be relatively rare about Debian among Linux distributions is that the packaging data is intrusive - a debian/ directory within the package itself, which must have already been downloaded. Most other distros seem to have external packaging - some sort of package specification that points to the URL of the upstream and is responsible for pulling it.

It cannot be overstated how much friction this inversion adds, whether for new packages, for updated upstream packages, or for distro-specific (hopefully temporary, but Debian has a bad record for that) patching.

One must embrace the sum of the decision. You don't choose to drive your car without expending energy. You choose both. You don't blow up thousands of bombs in streets and marketplaces and only choose to kill the people you want — you choose it all.

Recently we had what may have been a targeted hit in crowded public space in Alabama. When those individuals are caught, I hope it is understood that you don't choose to open fire in a crowd and only choose to shoot one person. You choose it all.

In such a world how do we make a decision? By judging that the price is right. Why did innocent people die when thousands of bombs blew up in public spaces? Because the price was right. That should be the center of discussion, not whether we'd like to blow up thousands of bombs in public places without paying the price.
I agree, there are tradeoffs to using static storage - the intended audience for PMTiles is those that prefer using static sites instead of administering a Linux server.

I would be interested to see a comparison of Btrfs + nginx serving latency, vs `pmtiles serve` from https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles on a PMTiles archive on disk. That would be a more direct comparison.

I think there's potentially some interesting use case for tiles in Btrfs volumes and incremental updates, which I haven't tackled in PMTiles yet!

> PSP was basically a mobile PSOne

No? PSOne was a semi-mobile PlayStation 1, but PSP was its own architecture, which was much closer to PS2 than PS1 if anything. It was good at running PS1 games because it used the same vague CPU architecture so Sony's in-house high-level emulator, POPS, worked really well, but the PSP was absolutely not a shrunken-down PlayStation, and definitely not a PS1.

I think HTML showed the problem with Postel's principle. Quoting "Postel’s Law is not for you" at http://trevorjim.com/postels-law-is-not-for-you/ from 2011

> The next version of HTML, HTML5, should considerably reduce the problem of browser incompatibilities. It does this, in part, by rejecting Postel’s Law for browser implementors. Instead of allowing browsers to be liberal when dealing with “flawed” markup, HTML5 requires them to parse it exactly as in the HTML5 specification, and that specification is given much more precisely than before, in the form of a deterministic state machine, in fact. HTML5 is trying to give implementors no leeway at all in this, in the name of browser compatibility.

The article, indeed, cites precious few actual statistics to lie with at all, but this suggests that the phrase "as much" means the same proportion, not the same absolute amount. So in your words, yes, they're selling "more natural gas" from fossil sources.

OMT use a CC-BY license: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-comm... (edit: link)

This means that software that implements OMT, even if written from scratch, cannot be re-used by other FOSS projects (Apache, BSD, GPL, AGPL, other software in the OpenStreetMap ecosystem, etc) without affecting the license.

Ideally for Protomaps it should be possible to re-use just one portion - like only the label layer with your own layers from other sources, or even bundle it as a JS dependency in another open source project - without affecting the license of downstream projects.

JAX has a sub-system called Pallas[1] with a Triton-like programming model and an example implementation of Flash Attention [2]. It is quite fast.

I think in general we're overdue for more compiler directives, and not just branch hints. As heterogenous architectures become more standard, we really need a way to tag what functions are best to run with what types of instructions. For example, tag a function that will utilize SIMD so that if a thread is running this function, the operating system knows to try to have it run on the cores that support SIMD. As of now, with P and E Cores for Intel, Intel is straight up disabling instructions to ensure uniform instruction support.
It's impossible to use the compressed version of the stream without using a client that has the baked-in ZSTD dictionary. This is a usability issue for folks using languages without a Jetstream client who just want to consume the websocket as JSON. It also makes things like using websocat and unix pipes to build some kind of automation a lot harder (though probably not impossible).

FWIW the default mode is uncompressed unless the client explicitly requests compression with a custom header. I tried using per-message-deflate but the support for it in the websocket libraries I was using was very poor and it has the same problem as streaming compression in terms of CPU usage on the Jetstream server.
It's fine, the content of an expanded variable isn't parsed further:

$ touch "foo \"bar baz"; for f in *; do echo "$f"; done
foo "bar baz

# quotes don't affect it either
$ touch "foo \"bar baz"; for f in *; do echo $f; done
foo "bar baz

Though once you start passing args with quotes to other scripts, things get ugly. Rule of thumb is to always pass with "$@", and if that isn't enough to preserve quoting for whatever use case, write them out to a tempfile instead, or don't use a shell script for it in the first place.

> If you can’t win without lying then it’s not really winning.

I agree with this, but I don't think you've established that they're lying. In the sentence you quote we don't know whether "It sells them as much fossil natural gas in an average year as it did before" means they sell as much gas in total (your reading) or as much per capita. Given that this sentence was in the introduction of the article, where one lays out one's thesis before presenting evidence, I think you jumped the gun a bit. There are more numbers later in the article.

If you are serving people in Iran or France then you are operating in those countries regardless of where you or your servers are and so you do have to comply with their laws or risk facing the consequences.

At minimum you will get your service banned in those countries.
