Audiogalaxy dev here. That was my favorite part of the design.
One of my other favorite parts was that prioritized matches based on how similar their domain name was to yours, so a lot of times you would end up grabbing files from someone in the same dorm or city (cable modem IPs had hostnames back then had the city in the name).
Remember what the Luddites actually did? They sabotaged the machines that were disrupting their livelihoods. If AI is as disruptive to large numbers of workers as some people think it will be, keep in mind it's a lot easier to destroy a GPU that's stored on earth than one in space.
Anyone planning expenditures as large as a modern data center thinks about all kinds of risks (earthquakes, climate, power, etc), and so perhaps there is a premium for GPUs that are out of the reach of your median angry unemployed guy.
(yes, this is nuts, but I can easily imagine some fever-dream pitch meeting where Musk is talking about it)

What's the easiest way to set up automatic code review for PRs for my team on GitHub using this model?
Just curious, what's your background in batteries? From my understanding, sodium based batteries are safer than lithium, but I would defer to anyone with real expertise in the subject.
Yes, 100% agree. We've spent so much time chasing down what makes our build slow. Obviously that is less important now, but hopefully they've laid the foundation for when our code base grows another 10x.
This is amazing. Everyone that picked TS for a big project was effectively betting that someone would do this at some point, so it's incredible to see it finally happen. Thanks to everyone involved!
Great post, thank you!
Where does the uncertainty (1%) come from? For example, is it more from our ability to precisely determine the orbit based on limited observations, or is it because orbits for objects like this just aren't predictable years out, or something else?
Why call it fraud when you can call it honey laundering?
The only announcement I want from AWS about databases is that the price for RDS is going down. Not that they have new chip that is more expensive but offers better price/performance, but that my bill is actually going to drop.
I don't trust them enough to use non-portable technology like this until they give me confidence they are committed to lowering prices.
We are headed towards a world where my robotic coding assistants are smarter when it is sunny.
How does that compare to Khan Academy?
Early on in a community, there often aren't enough data points to cover other possible metrics. With that in mind, starting somewhere is better than not starting at all — measuring engagement is a useful way to begin understanding what's resonating in your community. As you continue building your community, there are many different angles that you should use to evaluate its health.
Measuring engagement then becomes one piece of data that's valuable, but shouldn't be the only piece. When engagement data is combined with qualitative community surveys, enthusiasm from members to contribute to a community, clear and timely responsiveness to community needs, membership growth over time and geographies, depth of member interactions (whether across community channels or within specific channels), what's topically important to members and why, and overall sentiment and change in sentiment over time - that's when community builders can begin to better understand the health of their communities and their impact on their business.
Engagement is an important piece, but just one of the pieces, that helps paint the full picture.

What would it take for something like this to make it into Postgres?
The paper goes into a lot more details: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.05982.pdf
Oh, this is a great writeup. I co-host a podcast on outages, and over and over we see cases where circular dependencies end up making recovery much harder. Also, not using a staged deployment is a recipe for disaster!
We just wrapped up the first season, but I'm going to put this on the list of episodes for the second season: https://downtimeproject.com.
I'm not sure there is quite enough detail in this post to make a whole episode, but if any more details about the bug come out we will definitely cover it.
Oh dang, I totally missed that. Great idea, thank you!
Interesting! I co-host a podcast about notable internet outages, and our very episode was about Slack's Jan 1 outage: https://downtimeproject.com/podcast/episode-1-slack-vs-tgws/
If they publish a good postmortem on this, we'll definitely do an episode about it.
Ah, good idea. We just launched this last month and haven't given the website a lot of love yet. In the meantime, try https://downtimeproject.com/podcast/feed
That looks great! I'll put this on the list, thank you!
Huh, that's interesting timing. I co-host a podcast that walks through notable outages, and just yesterday we released an episode about Auth0's 2018 outage: https://downtimeproject.com/podcast/auth0-silently-loses-som...
Last time was due to several factors, but initially because of silently losing some indexes during a migration. I'm very curious what happened this time -- we'll definitely do a followup episode if they publish a postmortem.
This is the best book on algorithms I've ever read. Highly recommended, but please buy a copy. Perhaps the mods can change the url to point to Amazon instead.
Does anyone know what Reddit's AWS monthly bill is these days? I suspect they would be closer to profitability if they ran their own hardware, but I haven't seen any numbers recently.
I just found your app on the App Store. Any chance you could give us a demo school ID/password we could play with?
Wow, thanks for pointing out that connection. I enjoyed reading that book years ago -- I recommend it for anyone with any interest in sailing.
No love for engineering grads?
Gotta dump those shares before the tax code changes next year.
I'd love to feel that way, but I have a bad feeling about all the patents they have accumulated (more than any other company for 20 years or so).
Yes, but is any of that not already priced into the stock? The folks who have been buying and selling huge chunks of FB stock for the last few years have done a lot of thinking about that sort of thing.
