Indeed, the blog mentioned in the other comment showed part of 3FS code was completed at least since 2019, when this was still a project of the quant funds. In HFT, you tend to dogfood a lot of the things to achieve low latency, high performance, sometimes just because HFT system just need to do one specific thing, and those off the shelf stuff usually cater for a lot wider scenarios where HFT doesn't really care about. Here you see similar case which they focus specifically on loading large amount of data during training, and implement that to the extreme.

> Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of AI labs Safe Superintelligence (SSI) and OpenAI, told Reuters recently that results from scaling up pre-training - the phase of training an AI model that use s a vast amount of unlabeled data to understand language patterns and structures - have plateaued.
I'd argue that they don't need a filesystem or an object storage, they need a purpose-built data serving layer optimized for their usecase.
None of those are close to fast enough.

The only competitors in the parallel FS space that are useful for this are Lustre and Weka.

Otherwise if you don't need a single namespace a bunch of fat AF NFSv4 servers w/NFS over RDMA will also get you to 6TiB/s.

The "surefire" way though is still Lustre, it's the big daddy of distributed parallel filesystems still but it's an absolute beast to setup and operate.

This is not about any warranties at all. The warranty and liability disclaimer applies strictly to those parts and is used to establish

This suit is about unfair business practices: tort and ratchet. The suit raises a claim that Matt publicly boasted of harming WPE through his actions, which should establish intent. The core claim is that Matt/Automattic/WPF acting as a unit intentionally abused their collective power and relationship with WPE to cause harm on WPE and their customers, demanded payment to stop causing harm and on top of that attempted to pull said customers away to their for-profit alternatives.

Before you go and claim "but there are no warranties and SLAs on plugin repository", a supporting claim in the suit is that WPF plugin repository is hard-coded into WP software, therefore part of the overall service (volunteer effort maintaining the WP package) and selectively targeting users of WPF repository constitutes unfair business practice.

A distant analogy could be a tourist spot scam where nefarious party sees a family, offers their child a candy and then harasses parents to pay up. Or similarly with flowers for couples.

Mozilla isn't sending that data. You're sending that data.

These terms are common on webapps because, well, they're webapps. You send your data to the webapp and they store it on their own servers.

Web apps, operated by individuals or organisations, are very different to local apps which are operated by you. Just because the Firefox app is running on your device doesn't mean that Mozilla is operating it.

By granting Mozilla the right to access and use your data, you're agreeing to give them data which they never had previously - instead of just sending the POST to xyz.com you're now sending it to Mozilla as well who can do whatever they like with it, sell it to ad networks, whatever.
Personally, I wish it was more like 20 years ago.

I've always held AOL fondly. You paid per month, and get access to a giant ecosystem including forums, chat, email, news, zines, games, etc. Mostly ad free as I remember.

In fact, when NetZero became a thing, people mostly weren't interested. They were turned off by the stupid permanent ad bar, and the lack of community.

I wish something like AOL would come back around. Charge me $20 a month, give me a community, email, etc. Don't dare show me an ad.

We're just now getting back to pay for no ads, but its 5 dollars here or there for disparate services.

Man, AOL was ahead of its time. All it needs today that it didn't have was the 'wall', 'profile', whatever. And of course vid/pic sharing.

I remember when moving off AOL to broadband, my family hated it despite the speed. They thought it was clunky and stupid to have to download separate programs or visit different websites to do one thing at a time, in what was in AOL an integration.

FB is probably closest to that experience today, but of course is ad and data driven, and somehow still doesn't feel very community like.

I'd love to see a new, electron based AOL type service come about today. It'd cost a crapton to get the network and content up to attract any user base, else I'd try it myself.

People aren't having kids because of stagnant real wages and soaring home prices. In the US, the median home price is now $450k. In Canada, it's $650k. And when people do have children, they're on average having fewer, later in life (with a greater risk of complications): https://www.northwell.edu/news/the-latest/geriatric-pregnanc...

I doubt banning porn or abortion or engaging in cultural engineering will fix this.

Apple does collect some of your data, but their business doesn't depend on it, and I have some degree of control over how much I participate.

I think it's a category error to include all three in the same sentence, but I don't think the author is lying. I do agree somewhat with the sentiment that such a lack of distinction calls the content into question, or at least the author's framing of it.
They’ve rebuilt popular software many times over in the past.

Even with Skype they rebuilt the entire backend as well when they moved it from a decentralized platform to a centralized platform.

I struggle to believe that this theory holds any water.

It also lends support to an old conspiracy theory that the primary driver for Microsoft buying Skype was so that the service could be centralized so that communications could be monitored and intercepted.
It's California, it took 10 years regardless.
It’s interesting space to build a solution. The need for quantity take offs of a 2D PDF drawing that is most likely built in BIM software is mostly driven by contract structure.

If owners/developers understood this they could create contract structures that incentivize more fluid data collaboration aka the quantity take offs automatically generate as you are designing.

Pragmatically though in the current AEC landscape there is still a need for 2D QTO, nice work
In another sense, its the same with Uber and Airbnb, etc…

LLMs don't do formal reasoning. Not in any sense. They don't do any kind of reasoning - they replay combinatorics of the reasoning that was encoded in their training data via "finding" the patterns in the relationships of the tokens at different scales and then applying those to the generation of some output triggered by the input.

It's incredible how badly Microsoft mismanaged a lot of products. It genuinely makes me think they're aware of it at this point.

Have you tried Kiwi browser on Android? It's supported installing extensions for many years but for some reason never gets much traction. I guess they don't have enough of a marketing budget.
Nope.

Even if it is cheaper, it’s a very clear and obvious conflict of interest. There’s 350 million people in this country; choose one that doesn’t have a direct financial interest in this. If that person says Starlink, then that’s fine.

I wish I could get excited, but several design choices and aspects of the status quo we are facing have me worried:

It's already a basically bleeding edge C++. Why is it so much to ask for developers to use a more mature and established iteration so I don't need a brand new compiler?

What role is it gonna actually fill? It's not efficient enough to penetrate into the niche of Dillo or Netsurf. It's nowhere near as up to date on standards as Webkit, Goanna, Blink and Servo engines.

The swift move means LLVM-only. Yay. \s

What is supposed to sell this to normal users? Brave may be controversial, but its messaging is on point. Pale moon purging Mr. Tobin basically solved 99% of their brand issues. Vivaldi is what Opera used to be.

Google's dominance through Chromium/Chrome appears commanding. Between Pale Moon getting censored from Cloudflare sites, to Firefox becoming a controlled opposition, to Microsoft JOINING THEM. I'm sorry, but I have trouble being optimistic.

That said, I begrudgingly am ok with it. I wish they did things different.

The article you cite [0] is labelled as "opinion". The standards for peer review of opinion articles in scientific journals are a lot lower than those for ordinary research articles.

Microsoft help pages claiming that they will not refund your unused credits if your card has expired or details changed. So Microsoft effectively is taking all the users credit for themselves.

If it was only Skype, Windows development has turned into a mess, it appears teams are filled with newly grads, without any background on Windows development, or Windows developer culture.

That is why there are now Webview2 usage all over the place, and after 5 years WinUI 3.0 is still behind the WinForms, WPF and even MFC development experience, even though it should have been a plain port of UWP/WinUI 2.0 into standard Win32 infrastructure, so adding almost another 10 years on top (WinRT platform came out in 2012).

EDIT: it was actually 2012, not 2014.

Around 2012 I got some credits for Amazon Music (or whatever it was called at the time) so I bought and downloaded a couple of international albums. Then I noticed tracks in a single album could have three different bitrates. Not definitive proof that the files were ill-gotten but very fishy.
> what limits exactly does this place on Mozilla?

Mozilla is bound to only use the content to help the use navigate, experience and interact with online content as the user has indicated.

> One thing they could do with your financial data is show it to you (least harm).

Yes - this is what the user indicated.

> Another thing is to aggregate it with other's data (medium harm).

And the user has not indicated that this would be a permitted use of the data - thereby revoking the license of the first clause. If the data is used outside of the final clause of the license, that is unlicensed use of data. This would be a material breach of the contract by the corporation. This could open them up to massive legal penalties.
Hmm, this is an interesting counterexample.

What was the difference? Did not have the correct investors? Did not have a unique enough product?

I would assume the latter. However, this is an interesting topic for discussion.

MS was always going to kill Skype once they purchased it. One way or another.

I'll believe whoever first powers a light bulb from fusion.

I can completely imagine that it goes through stages like

Half a century of painful research at universities -> decades to build multiple prototypes -> years to build a POC -> decades to industrialize the POC -> years to connect the POC to the grid -> ???? -> light bulb moment -> ???? -> profit

I'm not sure we much further than the beginning of step 2. Indeed, (sorry to say that), I'd trust an MIT startup to do that more than a YC startup. But real life will serve as evidence.

As it happened with the other startups that were acquired by IBM, this too shall pass through the digestion system of the dinosaur and ejected out as a dump. Hashicorp products are showing the signs of a legacy thing already. IBM is the nursing home for these sort of aging stuff.

I'm a heavy user of Terraform and Vault products. Both do not belong to this era. Also worked for a startup acquired and dumped by IBM.
HTTP2 isn't free though. You don't have as many connections, but you do have to track each stream of data, making RAM a wash if TLS is non-existent or terminated outside your application. Moreover, on top of the branches the kernel is doing to route traffic to the right connections, you need an extra layer of branching in your application code and have to apply it per-frame since request fragments can be interleaved.
Is Grooveshark the Spotify alpha they are talking about in this article?

I recall being pretty confused by Grooveshark. It seemed… like, I mean, it was possible to stream a ton of music for free, so it had a vaguely pirate-y feel to it. But then, at the time YouTube also hosted a ton of music and other content seemingly without any license.

It was a weird time. IIRC lots of people seemed to think streaming was somehow distinct from downloading a file.
I was about to comment that humans consume orders of magnitude less energy, but then I checked the numbers, and it looks like an average person consumes way more energy throughout their day (food, transportation, electricity usage, etc) than GPT-4.5 would at 1 query per minute over 24 hours.
