Exactly. Anything that's ever been public on the internet is never really gone anyways, and it's unsafe to assume so. This is similar to publishing a website or a blog post. Plus, from a practical (non-opsec) point of view, you c

Out of curiosity, does that mean that GPUs are indeterministic only in their exact execution run-time behavior, or also in the actual output they produce? If the latter, is it something to do with the indeterministic order of floating point

I think the best argument for that might be that some people don't seem to understand what "consciousness" (in the sense that you are talking about) even means, and how it's different from something that can be explained

So far, none of these exist yet in the real world, so we'll see which one actually gets produced and sold first. I wouldn't be surprised if it's around the same time (sometime next year).

How is the Cybertruck not focused on utility? It has a larger range, larger bed, more torque + HP, a ramp, you can stand on the bed (vault) cover, it can power electric tools, etc. Sure the Lightning can do some of that too but the Cybertru

Oh nothing for now, and there's likely not going to be a viable alternative around for a while. But long-term, I don't see Grafana as part of the openly sharing ecosystem anymore, as with them being under the AGPL, but most other

Yeah, which is why typically those companies make external contributors sign a CLA that allows for copyright assignment and relicensing. Which is annoying if you contribute to a company-owned project under a permissive license to help make

Yep, already thinking about alternatives to Grafana in the long term now...

If this incremental step led to a better world already, I would maybe agree... but I think it makes the whole ecosystem worse and worse, until some far-away tipping point is reached where almost everything is AGPL and can reuse each other a

I think it's both a completely unrealistic end goal (we live in the real world), and I also think that the AGPL puts you into a hole where you can never get out of again if you decided that you now need different constraints. So I real

That sounds nice in theory, but the reality is also that a lot of more permissively licensed (BSD / Apache) projects now cannot use (most) parts of Grafana / Loki / Tempo anymore, since realistically they won't be able t

by jrv 5y ago
What I don't like about changes like this is that it makes it impossible to reuse any Grafana/Loki/Tempo pieces or libraries in any more permissively-licensed code without forcing that whole project into the AGPL as well. Tha

I use it in React by pointing the setup code at a ref of the CodeMirror div container and then I store the CodeMirror View object in another separate ref of the component so I have access to it from other places. Slightly awkward, but seems

I'm using CodeMirror 6 for https://promlens.com and together with the lezer parser generator, it was great for developing syntax highlighting, contextual autocompletion, and inline linting for PromQL (that part is OSS actua

I like that I can write pretty much normal React in it, and that it has a lot of features and plugins. But I'm still a pretty casual user probably.

It's not a drop-in replacement (even though it tries to sell itself as such), it's incompatible in a significant number of ways and throws away part of your data.

Hi! On the road right now, but back later :) There's no established cadence yet, but twice a year or so sounds like a reasonable update period to me.

Thanks! I already have my own Germany company, but it may be interesting to others. For now I'm just using resellers like Copecart/Digistore24/Paddle/FastSpring to handle all the global B2C VAT stuff for me.

One word of caution: at least if you're based in the EU, this is basically impossible to do legally correctly by yourself globally unless you spend many thousands of dollars VAT-registering yourself in all kinds of places around the wo

How do you handle global sales tax / VAT remittance, especially stuff like B2C VAT in the EU, etc.? Stripe doesn't do this unfortunately, but solutions like Paddle and FastSpring do, by acting as a reseller and Merchant of Record.
