Funny you specifically mention them:

Summit Therapeutics embodies the exact pharma model we've been critiquing - their business strategy isn't about bearing enormous R&D risks alone, but about strategically distributing those risks while maintaining private profit potential.

Their lead product, Ivonescimab, wasn't discovered or developed by Summit at all. They simply licensed it from Akeso for $500 million upfront.

They received up to $72.5 million from BARDA (taxpayer money) for Ridinilazole development and another $7.8 million from CARB-X (a public-private partnership) for SMT-738.

Their "innovation" model relies heavily on academic partnerships - Ridinilazole originated from publicly-funded university research, and they're leveraging MD Anderson's infrastructure rather than building their own.

Meanwhile, their executives received enormous compensation packages - in 2023, just two executives (Zanganeh and Soni) received compensation valued at $44.2 million, representing over 74% of their entire GAAP R&D budget that year.

Even their clinical trials for Ivonescimab combinations are being funded by Pfizer, not Summit.

This isn't a small company heroically bearing enormous R&D costs - it's a company that has masterfully distributed those costs across government grants, academic partnerships, and external collaborations while positioning itself to capture the profits if any of these products succeed.

There are a few ideas about subvocal recognition kicking about which might change that. If your voice assistant is in an earpiece that can (somehow) read what your vocal muscles are doing without you actually needing to make a sound, it makes it practical to the extent that it could become the default. There's a lot of ocean between here and there, though. Particularly in the actual sensor tech. That's got to get to the point where you can wear it in public on a highly visible part of the body without feeling like a loon, and that's not trivial.

All things unregulated eventually turn into a mogadishu style eco-system where parasitism is ammunition. Open source are the plants of this brave new disgusting world. To be grazed upon by the animals, that suppressed the protection system of the plants- aka the state.

Once the allmende, the grass runs out, things get interesting. We shall see Cyperpunk like computational parasitism plaguing companies and attempts to filter these work out. I guess that is the only way, to really prevent that sort of bot. You take arbitrary pieces of the UOW they want done- and reject them on principal. And depending on the cleverness of the batch algorithm, they will come back with that again and again, identifying themselves via repetition.

Does this statement have ramifications for sourcehut and the type of projects allowed there? Or is it merely personal opinion?
After coming of age on Milton's and Hayek's views of the market--as a mechanism for processing information and allocating resources which was far better than any central planning could be--it was a huge eye opener when I actually did go to Wall Street.

The degree to which market players are going to make market signals to not have the correct meaning is amazing. Dark pools, chopping up buys and sells and strategically rerouting them--all meant to make the market as bad of an information source as possible.

In retrospect, it seems obvious that they would do this. If the market is the best source of information, you can't beat the market, because you'll never knew more than it will.

I'd love to see a frontend for this. Most CMSs are either tailored specifically for blogs or are complicated to set up. I've often wanted something like I guess Access or Filemaker Pro (if anyone remembers that) but with a modern UI and database.

Not for production use, mind you, just like, say I have a library of books or blu-rays and want to create a catalogue of them (with images, so a spreadsheet is a no-go). Being able to just bang out a single-file config and have an impromptu CRUD admin would be awesome.

Well since I'm salaried it grows with (at least) the rate of inflation, thanks to unions.

Also I'm 32 now so yeah I don't plan to stop investing and growing yet.

I am not disputing that, the comment I replied to assumed that offenses were not evenly distributed because two of the examples in the set of petty crimes was not evenly distributed offenses by demographic.

On the other hand if I loose my google account I'm screwed, all my other services depend on either my email address or google 2fa keys to prove my identity.

Yeah the pricing for memory in most cloud instances is so atrocious that you pay enough to buy a whole DDR5 stick in a few months already. Or an entire ARM SBC that will outperform that stingy offer in every way.

Cloud also has networked SSDs so they can keep the machines and partitions separate, which really limits their speed and throughput and increases latency. Nothing beats a PCIe attached NVMe.

I have a small static site. I haven't touched it in a couple of years.

Even then, I see bot after bot, pulling down about 1/2 GB per day.

Like, I distribute Python wheels from my site, with several release versions X several Python versions.

I can't understand why ChatGPT, PetalBot, and other bots want to pull down wheels, much less the full contents when the header shows it hasn't changed:

Well, I know the answer to the second question, as DeVault's title highlights - it's cheaper to re-read the data and re-process the content than set up a local cache.

Externalizing their costs onto me.

I know 1/2 GB/day is not much. It's well under the 500 GB/month I get from my hosting provider. But again, I have a tiny site with only static hosting, and as far as I can tell, the vast majority of transfers from my site are worthless.

Just like accessing 'expensive endpoints like git blame, every page of every git log, and every commit in every repo' seems worthless.
Remember that Israeli companies, including Deel, are mostly founded by members of Unit 8200 who are literal spies. These folks have their formative technical experience being spying on Palestinians in order to keep the occupation going.

Simple rule of thumb is never trust an Israeli company with your data or your customers' data.
I feel like I recall someone recently built a simple proof of work CAPTCHA for their personal git server. Would something like that help here?

Alternatively, a technique like Privacy Pass might be useful here. Basically, give any user a handful of tokens based on reputation / proof of work, and then make each endpoint require a token to access. This gives you a single endpoint to rate limit, and doesn’t require user accounts (although you could allow known-polite user accounts a higher rate limit on minting tokens).
Hear, hear.

In the paramount tasks is to understand the internals of the "black box", get knowledge, engineer better. Of course having "fully open" projects should help that.

It seems we are pushed into major conflicts and disruptions so we have to decentralise it as much as possible.

The current model is very awkward, we have been pushed into those very centralised, hyperscale solution that most businesses and individual do not really need.
Most businesses do not really need much to do their job.

We are probably gonna have major connectivity disruptions on of those days or what happened when your Hertzner or Orange/Huawei datacenter is down?
And I know they have "better security" but if we are attacked they are gonna be taken down anyway.

We do not wanna look at what a major cyber disruption would do to our societies. I believe just the consequences on the electricity grid and hospitals would make us wave the white flags in a few weeks.

You wanna own your hardware because if there are disruptions it is gonna be hard to get your hand on some because of supply, logistics or just monetary disruptions.

How hard is it technically to setup something like Ubuntu Microcloud [0] for your own use or local businesses you provide that service for?

From my experience the biggest risk and headache is all those EU regulations like the EU Cyper resilience Act and in some cases energy costs.

So when Ursula tell you Europe needs to prepare for war and authorise/push your country to go into even more debt so her friends can build expensive tanks that will never see a battle it is ridiculous.

They should focus on removing all the obstacle to resilience they setup themselves, find a way to reduce energy costs (pretty hard now...) and maybe encourage moving out of those big tech cloud (starting by doing it themselves).

Agreed regarding roll out - in the UK the grid is struggling to cope with rollout of Tesla and similar charging networks - there’s no way it’s ready to cope with the demand from widespread adoption of what BYD proposes, nor will it be for many years!
I think you pinpointed the ‘category of convenience’ phrase very well. What you say after that is highly subjective and there are no doubt many specifics that could be discussed at all sorts of levels!
> porting a browser to RISC-V

Modern web browsers take several hours to compile on reasonably powerful hardware. (I don't know much about rebuilding for incremental changes. TBH I'm terrified of the scope to even try.)

Also that sounds like an incredibly niche application?

> [...] as they don't then need to find another spare power cable and a spare monitor to connect to an SBC.

My own solution is to use an HDMI capture stick to display a window on my main workstation. Works great for kiosk-type applications, and I keep my regular setup for actual coding. I previously used the hardware PIP feature of my monitor, but it will often obscure another window.

If I need KVM, and for devices that support that, I have a screen that does USB-C with DP, plus an internal USB hub to connect the keyboard and mouse. One cable to rule them all. I could probably get half a dozen USB-C/DP into HDMI+USB-A adapters but honestly swapping two cables instead of one is not that big of a deal. My screen has 4 HDMI inputs, regular DP, and USB-C/DP. I ended up using all of them ;)

Plus you get to pick more powerful HW to actually support development - even a 20% improvement is big, and IIRC that was the difference between Jetson T210 and RasPi4; enough to do non-Jetson-specific builds on a different board.

Otherwise you could also self-host with a VM, then you can use gitea or gitolite with systemd oneshot services.
Well, the chargers won't be pulling 1MW continuously, so you can smooth this out by installing batteries with the chargers. The grid demand becomes a more constant trickle into the batteries co-located with the charger
Saving as XCF still loses the undo history so it's really a question of which/how much information is lost. Meanwhile if you have a single layer image and export it to PNG which preserves as much relevant information as saving it as XCF it will then still complain about unsaved data if you try to close it. Absolutely infuriating behavior that no real user ever asked for.
Hi, you are right that things can go sideways fast. In practice, the data that the typical employee needs is also quite simple. So there is definitely a very nice fit for this kind of product with a large number of use-case that we do see provide a lot of value internally for employees (self access to data) and data scientist (reducing loads).

For complex queries/use-cases, we generally instead push our users to create agents that assist them in shaping SQL directly, instead of going directly from text to result/graphs. Pushes them to think more about correctness while still saving them tone of time (the agent has access to the table schemas etc...), but not a good fit for non technical people of course.

There is always a degree of incoherence in people's beliefs and actions.

A good one along the lines of your comment, IMHO, is how most Europeans are very happy to promote ID cards and to be asked for theirs all the time while always complaining about "privacy" and against "surveillance".

For instance in France you must show your ID to buy even a prepaid SIM card, but then again the police can ask to see your ID with little justification. Or how they ask for ID when checking your ticket in the TGV high-speed train...
