Their email makes sense, except it doesn't. As someone who considers themselves a low traffic usage customer, running hundreds of Hetzner Cloud servers - each averaging less than 10GB of data transfer, with only a few servers reaching the previously included 50-60TB/month - I’m now facing an overall increase in costs.

Not only are the per-server prices higher, but the drastic cut in included bandwidth (without a corresponding option for bandwidth pooling) means I'll be paying significantly more despite my usage being well within "low traffic" by their standards. It’s frustrating that Hetzner never introduced a bandwidth pooling option for customers where it would make sense, especially in scenarios like mine where usage is highly imbalanced across servers.

At this point, Vultr and Linode are starting to make a lot more sense, even with their more expensive traffic pricing, since both providers offer traffic pooling. This feature would have significantly softened the blow of Hetzner's pricing changes, but instead, they’re pushing costs onto loyal customers who don’t fit neatly into their new model.

A bit off-topic, but that comparison graph is a great example why you should buy your designer a cheap secondary screen. I was viewing it on my second monitor and had to lean in to make out the off-white bar for Model D on the light-grey background. Moved the window over to my main screen and it's clear as day, five nice shades of coffee on a light-gray background.

Good reminder for me and anyone else right there, nicely put.
I think you're at the heart of it, and you've humorously framed the grey area here and it's very weird. Sans a ruling that, for example, computers are too deterministic to be creative, copyright laws really seem to imply that LLM training is legal. Learning and then creating something new from what you learned isn't copyright infringement, so what's the legal argument here? A ruling declaring this copyright infringement is likely going to have crazy ripple effects going way beyond LLMs, something a good judge is going to be very mindful of.

Ultimately, this is probably going to require congress to create new laws to codify this.
> worble literally did make that comparison

No, their mention of "slave labor" is not a comparison to how LLMs work, nor an assertion of moral equivalence.

Instead it is just one example to demonstrate that chasing economic/geopolitical competitiveness is not a carte blanche to adopt practices that might be immoral or unjust.
> It would take maybe 15 lines of code to implement

This is a very bad reason to justify something. Especially introduce threads. Your response here is like saying "I don't know why people say it's so hard to write multi threaded programs, the thread create API is so simple." It completely misses the point why added complexity can be harmful.

> without rarely occurring bugs.

Except for a glaring thing like "what if fflush gets an I/O error in this background thread"?

> Granted, it would rub me the wrong way if libc did this by default,

This is exactly my point. It needs cooperation from the application layer. It wouldn't make sense to be transparent.
Among other stuff, there was a bunch of Italian modernist art from the 50s-70s. It was literally decomposing in there, and my mother sold a few pieces at auction at about the 25 year point, which was then used as a reference point for the value of the collection as a whole, and as evidence that she was acting maliciously, that she knew the value of what was in there.

The owner died in the early 90s - the folks who rocked up were the grandchildren of her ex-husband.

As for people who have said “oh she should have charged for the storage” - that would have been nice, but that wasn’t the agreement, and French law treats a verbal agreement as a contract, and also places the onus in this type of situation on the person holding the goods to make extensive efforts to contact the owner and/or their heirs.
Looking from the perspective of the gun owner makes sense.

If there was in fact a safe pathway to only needing 2 hours of sleep I would 100% use it and consider it a zero to one innovation. Although I think it would also come with a lot of pushback. One of my favourite questions to ask people is "if there was a way that allowed you to not sleep and be completely fine, would you take it?". Surprisingly (or maybe not) most people will answer no and say they like sleep to much.

I think most people aren't trying to squeeze the maximum amount of time efficiency from their day. They don't like sleep because they need it, they like sleep because its synonymous to relaxing. So less sleep means less relaxing.

Sometimes it's for a sound system or some other wired feature someone installs from aftermarket stuff. When they sell the car, it's easier to remove the added system and leave the switch.
I would add this advice: 1) start by working on your apps on the side while working another job, 2) while working said job, save and invest. Over time this can provide the cushion necessary to jump to full time indie.
No. But "new cars will have mandatory automated controls to prevent drunk driving, which may be implemented insecurely in a way that creates major vulnerabilities" (very reasonable) is not the same claim as "Joe Biden signed a bill that would give law enforcement access to a ‘kill switch’ that will be attached to ALL new cars" (blatantly false).

The fact that there are real concerns about something doesn't justify ignoring the truth value of inflammatory claims about that thing.

Yeah. A year or two after the first version of Ubuntu was released, someone on a Debian mailing list complained that Ubuntu didn't deserve the attention it was getting. A long-time Debian user or developer replied and said Ubuntu was the best thing to happen to Debian in years because Ubuntu was Debian's idiot filter. I didn't fully realize how true that was until I watched the Arch Linux community receive a huge influx of Ubuntu refugees who seemed to be switching to Arch solely to participate in the Arch subreddit's meme culture.

Except it's not "the perspective of a Russian".

It's just the regime's funhouse mirror presentation of that perspective.

There's no substance to the "Ukraine was persecuting ethnic Russians" line, in any case.

"What if I am not good enough?"

I just heard this quote somewhere: What is success? It's being able to do what you want to be doing.

If you're not able to do that then of course you will need to do something else. But if you are able to do it, then you are "good enough".
I'm not sure what you mean but if you're asking for a solution then SemVer is better than this in most cases. It has none of the issues I mentioned caused by TrunkVer.

According to us law, is the Internet Archive a library? I know they received a DMCA excemption.

What were the other major R&D labs, corporate or otherwise of this era (roughly: 1880s through 1980s)?

I can think of: AT&T, DuPont, Kodak, Xerox PARC, Westinghouse, IBM, GE, the original Edison labs (best as I can tell acquired by Western Union), Microsoft, Rockefeller University, Google Research.

Of notable industries and sectors, there's little I can think of in automobile, shipping, aircraft and aviation (though much is conducted through Nasa and military), railroads, steel (or other metals/mining), petroleum, textiles, or fianance. There's also the Manhattan Project and energy labs (which conduct both general energy research and of course much weapons development).

(I've asked similar questions before, see e.g., <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41004023>.)

I'd like to poke at this question in a number of areas: what developments did occur, what limitations existed, where private-sector or public / government / academic research were more successful, and what conditions lead to both rise and fall of such institutions.
Ableton is king for electronic music, but isn’t a very strong DAW for general audio work outside of that.

>that might have a counter initiative answer.

Handguns really aren't that great at killing a target- you're trading off power for the ability to even get the gun into the fight (without detection, in this case).

So ideally, you shoot them a bunch of times. Shotguns do this quite effectively; a better view of one is that it's 8 handguns duct-taped together and firing all at once (that's effectively what happens- for anti-personnel use, 8 9mm-sized pellets come out the end when you pull the trigger). But shotguns are large and don't lend themselves to getting tucked into your pants.

Thus, why not have the individual pellets come out one at a time from a pistol that you can conceal? Pistols can theoretically spit them out really fast, so why not just have that happen as long as you have the trigger held down- you have the equivalent of about 4 shotgun shells at your disposal with a standard 33-round magazine, so if you're spending 1/4th of your magazine per target you're (on paper) just as effective as you would have been using a shotgun in that scenario.

The problem comes from not knowing how to use one, and the consequences of not knowing how to shoot compound when you use a pistol like this. Pistols are relatively difficult to use (which is why things that make them easier and more intuitive to aim make gang gunfights deadlier- this is part of why the TEC-9 is on every AWB list in existence) in the best of times, which is part of why gang gunfights look more like a bunch of Harry Potter cosplayers waving their magic wands casting 'gun' than anything anyone else would consider proper marksmanship, and that's before you add the part that makes the gun veer off in a random direction and waste half your ammo into the apartment complex that was behind the guy.

If you're going to be a gangster the least you could do is actually shoot straight. Fortunately, the city of Toronto banned all the ranges (as an anti-crime measure, lmao), so even if they did want to figure out how to shoot straight that's not an option they have.

>Or more unintended bystander deaths?

All else being equal, people randomly spraying bullets will cause more of this (and more property damage). And it's more difficult for the police to deal with; I'd be quite a bit more afraid to deal with gangland crime (aka 'all of Toronto') when getting magdumped might actually get through that vest or get me shot in the face.

Either you are misremembering incandescent bulbs or you're buying some real hot garbage LED bulbs. It used to be a regular chore to replace bulbs and people would keep a stock on hand like they'd keep soap or toilet paper. Incandescents usually lasted 1,200 hours, LEDs of today last around 11,000. Nobody's bulbs are lasting 250,000 hours, and if they did they wouldn't be 4x the price of the 11k hour bulbs.

The reason indicator LEDs last a different amount of time is because they are very different applications. If you want to walk around your house lit by an indicator lamp, go right ahead, but most people want more light, and more light = more heat and degradation of the diode.

The Merriam-Webster link you provided has an extensive discussion on the difference between sex and gender. The link you originally provided asserted no other definitions existed than the one they had anointed. The intellectually dishonest characterization lies not where you say it does, though I understand why you claim otherwise. It's a strategy that's proven to work well!

If I can't assert with authority that genders beyond male and female exist, with what authority do you assert those two exist?
Refer to my understanding in the first paragraph—I don’t think they’re retaining the hashed values after a day either?

>Which is exactly what TrunkVer does. Every release increases the major version number. As long as the clock you use for the timestamp is monotonic.

Well that and you never need to run old versions of the software, rebuild old versions, deal with customers who have different versions, etc.

>TrunkVer os useful in cases where knowing the time the version was created is more useful than knowing how many releases are between two versions. In particular, continuously deployed projects, where you might have multiple releases a day.

If you want to know when a build happened then it would be better to put that last. SemVer-based package systems typically do something like that with a fourth number. However, odds are you just want the latest in a series based on one code archive, so it only needs to be a simple sequence. People who need to know the date can consult other metadata to find out.

>For a library, I think it would be pretty rare for TrunkVer to make sense, unless maybe the only consumer of the library was an app that also used TrunkVer.

I think it's more complicated than this and thus TrunkVer only makes sense at the top level. If you apply it to a library, you better own the library and practically use a monorepo for your one app.

>For an app, it often makes sense to version an external API or data format independently of the app itself.

This only makes sense if you have multiple apps to deal with. Otherwise, the data format version practically is the app version and it would be pointless extra work for them to deviate.

My understanding is that there is no concept of a library license and that you just say you're a library and therefore become one, and whether your claim survives is more a product of social cultural acceptance than actual legal structures but someone is welcome to correct me.

The internet archive also scrapes the web for content, does not pay authors, the difference being that it spits out literal copies of the content it scraped, whereas an LLM fundamentally attempts to derive a new thing from the knowledge it obtains.

I just can't figure out how to plug this into copyright law. It feels like a new thing.

The longer the years of service the longer the successful track record. If you work 25 years somewhere for those years your employer was happy with you. A new manager / business downturn / new system / new disability / personal prompting a poor performance means the employer must support the employee and that can become severance.

The length of employment is the most important part of the equation.
I’m not a front end engineer and I read most of this, at first for sheer morbid curiosity about the drama, then I kept reading because it looked like deep knowledge and detailed exposition of a complex subject, then I kept reading because I was wondering who listens to a guy like this and why?

In my experience, regardless of your skill at communication, coworkers or bosses that are actually interested in getting to deep knowledge or detailed analysis about anything are extremely rare. If you need to communicate a subtle point or detailed argument, then you’ve already lost. This is because for any technical decision the opposite argument from FUD is easier to make and easier to digest, regardless of whether the FUD advice is to stay/defect on the tech stack or the design decision or whatever. IOW the winning strategy is basically to always go 2nd after what TFA calls the “thoughtful engineer” burns out the audience by being rational and thorough. Even more bluntly.. most people are just showing up to work and have no interest (and much less passion) for craftsmanship.

I wish it was different, since I believe in architecture / design. But, there’s a good chance no one cares about your detailed analysis at all and you’re much better off producing more shallow demos/diagrams/decks regardless of whether your audience is engineers or management.

"Changing rotation inside a mass makes it possible to change its inertial properties. It is the equation for a jet motion without rejection of any mass.” Albert Einstein.

The logic of creation of an inertial propulsion system is thus: Any motion is rotation ---- Rotation of a matter generates a space-time Torsion ---Torsion of space - time is described by Ricci torsion --- Ricci torsion is an inertial field-----the rest mass of any object is determined by its inertial field---- operating by fields and forces of inertia inside of mass we can create inertial propulsion system which moves according to the equation [m (t) dv/dt =-vdm/dt].
