> I think you’re doing away with the fairness exception for criticism?

Perhaps, but it's more an example of the problem: something can be fine at small scale, but cause issues when everyone does it. Tragedy of the commons, but with words.

(From an even more extreme point of view, consider that an image generating AI trained on nothing but photographs taken from drones flying and androids walking all over the place would be able to create photo-realistic images of anything, irregardless of if even one single human artist's works end up in the training set, which in turn means the current concerns about "did the human artists agree to this use" will be quickly made irrelevant because there were none in the training set in the first place).

"Quantity has a quality all its own", whoever really said it first.

> Copyright is intended to reward investment in creative works by giving sole license to distribute. It is not intended to create a monopoly on knowledge about the work.

Sure, but laws change depending on economics. I can easily believe AI will lead to either much stronger or much weaker copyright laws.

Depends who is wielding the power when the change comes.

> If I can ask an LLM (or person!) “what’s the first sentence in Harry Potter?” And then “what’s the second sentence?” and so on, that does not mean they are distributing the work in competition with the rights holders.

Isn't that a description of how BitTorrent works? And The Pirate Bay is kinda infamous for "distributing the work in competition with the rights holders".

> We have gone way overboard with IP protections. The purpose of copyright is served when Rowling buys her 10th mansion. We do not need to further expand copyright to make it illegal to learn from a work or to remember it after reading.

I agree, and was already in favour of radical changes to copyright rules well before LLMs.

(That said, it's more complex because of how hit-driven lots of things are, which means that while nobody needs to defend Rowling's second billion, having looked at the distribution of book sales in the best-seller lists… most of them will/would have need/ed a second source of income to keep publishing).

nice!-> how well does the url replacement work across different browsers and devices?
The issue should be less focused on why aren't the workers doing more, but more on who has let the few have so much power over others without being challenged. Society as a concept fails without workers.
Finally, it only took them 10 years to get around to updating that decades old UI. Wonder which other decade old UI parts are they gonna tackle next? ooh, will they finally do something about Library and the whole bookmarks/history menu/sidebar/window mess? It's a little insane how so much time has passed and so many versions were released, and some interface stuff still remains unpolished and disparate. Firefox simply can't get it together on that front.

For tab containers, maybe there's a "good reason" that no other browser has that feature, cause it is confusing both as a concept and in use, and doesn't separate the rest of the stuff (or even the stuff in intends to separate when it's cumbersome and peculiar to use). Like, shared history, or inability to have separate extensions, defeats many of the purposes people use profiles for - which is an actual complete separation of things.

It's not too terribly unreasonable. It's largely the Linux Foundation trying to wrest control over chromium from Google before the FTC antitrusts them or before Google does more manipulative market controlling BS.

In more polite terms they are framing themselves as an ideal long term steward for the chromium project given that courts have already ruled that Google isn't a suitable steward anymore. Chromium wouldn't be so problematic if it wasn't run by such an anticompetitive organisation. If the Linux Foundation ran chromium and orgs like Igalia (who already do a near majority of the dev work for chromiumm) took over the brunt of senior development and leadership control then it'd be a pretty solid technology stack (albeit with some weaknesses).

I personally prefer Firefox and it's associated technologies but I also acknowledge the appeal of Chromium distributions like Vanadium.
I remember seeing your posts about sliplane on my X for you page. Cool stuff.

> We calculate the DBMS of the year by subtracting the January 2024 from the January 2025 scores.

Although by that measure Snowflake should be #1 not Postgres, so who knows.

Seems like they are just subjectively picking what is more internet popular.
Yeah, we can't leverage stigmergy because there are actors outside of the code always shifting priorities and applying pressure to system that, in this article's reckoning, should grow in an obvious and natural fashion.
Probably. There are levels of backups, and a cloud subscription SHOULD give you copies in geographical separate locations with someone to help you (who probably isn't into computers and doesn't want to learn the complex details) restore when (NOT IF!) needed.

I have all my backups on a NAS in the next room. This covers the vast majority of use cases for backups, but if my house burns down everything is lost. I know I'm taking that risk, but really I should have better. Just paying someone to do it all in the cloud should be better for me as well and I keep thinking I should do this.

Of course paying someone assumes they will do their job. There are always incompetent companies out there to take your money.
Not exactly what you're asking for, but [Ecologi](https://ecologi.com/) is doing lots of work on the tree-planting front, but also doing other work that helps with climate change, like solar panel setups in Morocco, wind farms in the US, methane emissions in Brazil, and more.
Reality is very much a bummer.
> they'll basically be breading economic cannon fodder

Are you suggesting that it's a new development and that, for example, peasants had it better?

I'd say that even if the absolute difference in wealth is greater these days, the disparity in opportunities and quality of life has, on average, decreased (Don't ask for sources as I don't have any)
I'm sure the people who insist on the proper usage of the term "champagne" claim their linguistic crusade is important too!
Muen SK for x86/64 – formally verified Separation Kernel
Now with the push for memory safe, high-integrity applications, I am looking for a separation kernel or formally verified OS to base my automation software upon. Rust was a contender a few years ago, but with no formal specification standard yet like C++/C, and having a steep learning curve, I decided on SPARK2014/Ada due to the simpler language and formal verification tooling as well as decades of high-integrity software in production. Has anyone worked with either Muen or Ironclad/Gloire? I'd prefer a microkernel vs. monolithic kernel, and I have started looking at Minix3 as a base due to that and its compatibility with a ton of NetBSD packages and great documentation in the form of a textbook. I think choosing Rust for such projects is high-risk given it is not even close to SPARK2014/Ada in this arena.

"Methodology
We calculate the DBMS of the year by subtracting the January 2024 from the January 2025 scores. We use the difference between each DBMS’s score, rather than a percentage growth, which would favor systems with lower popularity at the beginning of the year. The DMBS of the year is an illustration of how much each system increased in popularity during the year. You can read more about our exact methodology here ( https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_definition ), but in short we are ranking popularity of DBMS based on how much people are discussing and communicating about each system, including job offers, professional profile entries and citations on the web. job offers, professional profile entries and citations on the web. "
This isn't what the article proposes. The article is about top-down organization/planning versus individual programmers having the autonomy to figure out the next right thing to work on based on indicators left by prior work, e.g. emails, todo items, issues. If anything I'd say this gives individual programmers more autonomy and influence over the direction the software takes. I think this makes a lot of sense.
Sure, and if the top management changed their approach, so would this middle layer. A fish rots from the head down.

It is the assumption that this is meant as dissemination. there is a lot of material online (especially on GitHub) that is not meant to be read.

It is a valid criticism that it is uninteresting to read, but the core criticism is that this should not have been shared on HN, to which the canonical response is to scroll through and not upvote.
Great analogy! As a performing magician and a big fan of the movie, I get how obsession with a craft can blur the line between reality and performance. But that line still exists. The best actors, creators, and magicians make us feel they’re being real, even when they’re not.
Deserved, Postgres is enough for 95% of normal use cases
You are avoiding the question.

And of course I'd make the same argument for Andrew Tate. Budweiser hiring Tate isn't "promoting his ideology". Because Budweiser has no ideology beyond "we think this makes us money". They chose Dylan because they thought "this makes us money", if they chose Tate it would be because they thought it makes them money. In neither case would they be promoting their actors ideologies. They are a boring mega corp, their one ideology is "sell beer".
The chart in the article is essentially the inverse of the US unemployment rate chart. What gives, no doubt, is that workers are more enthused about their job when they have more leverage. Chances are you will find that people are more enthusiastic about all aspects of life when they have more leverage.
The products generating revenue just don’t need many workers to keep going.
The title is "The Origins of Wokeness". He's writing about things that many groups were doing at the time, making his explanation at best incomplete. As for Jerry Falwell, you cannot write about the origins of modern cancel culture and not mention him, since he's the one that popularized it.
New Glenn is competing with Falcon Heavy much more than with Starship, and also looks a lot closer to operational readiness than Starship will be in 2025.

Later versions of VB (4 and later IIRC) did have a sleep function, though many didn't bother using it and kept with their DoEvents loops instead (which would allow their own UI updates to process but still kept the CPU pegged as much as their process could). With earlier versions you could actually call the windows sleep API. Whether using the OS sleep() or the built-in function (itself just a wrapper around the OS sleep() function), it was worth calling DoEvents a couple of times first to ensure any progress information you'd updated on your UI had been processed, so the user can see it.

They shouldn't have that right any more than a tools manufacturer has the right to prevent you from buying one of their hammers.

The right of first sale is extremely important to a functioning capitalistic society and it's completely absent from the digital world - by design.
It kind of mirrors my observations in what makes a successful individual in the world of ecommerce, you gotta have the capital to start like ten ideas at once then you whittle out which one don't profit more than 10k a month and come up with new ones to fill the place.

We already did this at least twice during the 20th century, first with invention and production of automobiles, and then again with the combined hit of the interstates and aviation.
You have a couple options:

1. Delete the snapshots and rewrite the files in place like how people do when they want to rebalance a pool.

2. Use send/receive inside the pool.

Either one will make the data use the new layout. They both carry the caveat that reflinks will not survive the operation, such that if you used reflinks to deduplicate storage, you will find the deduplication effect is gone afterward.
It's all just a natural part of the enshittification progression.
It could have played into it though, but I agree the support contract that couldn't be worked out mentioned elsewhere in the thread is more likely.

But I think these things are usually a combination. When a business relationship sours, agreements are suddenly much harder to work out. The negotiators are still people and they have feelings that will affect their decisionmaking.

From what I can see you're allowing users to provision servers on Hetzner and then run their docker containers?

I built a similar in-house project like this for a client. I used the Go docker SDK and had quite a few edge cases to solve! Very curious to see if you had a similar experience.

Congratulations on launching!
Can you point me in the direction of documentation for isolating docker containers more judiciously? I have a few applications running on my Synology NAS and know less than I'd like to admit about what risks I'm taking running untrusted code on the same machine as my backups.
My mental model around these indicators: High quits rate + low engagement = workers leaving for greener pastures. Low quits rate + low engagement = no greener pastures to go to. Low quit rates + high engagement = "professional/career/work potential" sentiment high, happy workers staying put and grinding because they choose to.

I go to history events held monthly at the downtown library, in the afternoons. That means it's mostly retirees and me (it's an advantage of being self-employed and often, like now, working while at the library).

They ask for 20 kronor for fika. While the organizers accept Swish, the large majority of attendees pay in cash.
It boggles my mind that I'm not able to download the oldest released version of software that was compatible with my old version of iOS.

My iPad is too old to upgrade to the new OS, but yet no software is available for it in the store, because all new apps are encouraged to be re-released for the newest version of the OS.

My device is completely frozen in time from whatever software was installed on it when it went out of support.
Regardless, the net carbon sink of a healthy forest is higher than the net carbon sink of a few houses that were built in its place.

Simply think of the number of tons of wood in an acre of forest, compared with the number of tons of wood in a housing development.

It doesn't matter that some trees die and release their carbon, other trees grow. Instead of thinking of individual trees, simply think of the entire biomass of the forest.

I have lived for months on end in exotic five star hotels in parts of the world where my mighty American dollar (at the time) was five times more purchasing power (business adventures on my own terms.)

Luxury for those with taste (no fine pearls before swine) is carefully and thoughtfully crafted. Not expensive to price gouge, expensive for every step in caring for is taken, consideration made.

I too in my time have learned the art of living lean. When I have nothing I am vigorous by my apatites.

The only challenge is overcoming the inconveniences of the self. Do your future selves favors and that self will have abundance when that future time comes to pass.

Living on one’s own terms is the greatest luxury of all.
What are you doing to prepare?

My thoughts are:

I might as well enjoy life now since the future me will need no savings as the age of abundance will take care of me.

I might switch careers to accelerate this future. Whatever I’m working on now isn’t that important because 5 years from now it will be done by AGI if this is brought about.

I should stake a claim in the AGI future. Own or invest in a company that will increase in value given this future.

I could start preparing by switching careers. Maybe becoming a product manager or manager that manages AGI for a business or picking a career that AGI can’t do. Maybe an electrician or doctor or plumber. But is anything safe?

Prepare for the Terminator future. Find the weakness in machines and figure out how to destroy them.

Why are you considering raid5/6? Are you considering building a large storage array? If the data will fit comfortably (50-60% utilization) on one drive, all you need is raid1. Btrfs is fine for raid1 (raid1c3 for extra redundancy); it might have hidden bugs, but no filesystem is immune from those; zfs had a data loss bug (it was rare, but it happened) a year ago.

Why use zfs for a boot partition? Unless you're using every disk mounting point and nvme slot for a single large raid array, you can use a cheap 512GB nvme drive or old spare 2.5" ssd for the boot volume. Or two, in btrfs raid1 if you absolutely must... but do you even need redundancy or datasum (which can hurt performance) to protect OS files? Do you really care if static package files get corrupted? Those are easily reinstalled, and modern quality brand SSDs are quite reliable.
I can't even fathom what's happened here, and it seems there's one obvious conclusion: US democracy is effectively over, we're just waiting for the curtains. As long as you win, you can cheat and lie and even outright rig an election.

Combining that with the pretty much arbitrary immunity SCOTUS decided Presidents get, the President is effectively untouchable now?

Have I misinterpreted something?
Arguably also true for some (many?) tech entrepreneurs.
