I don't think that's true anymore, I believe Mike sold the IP to CD Project and has a stake in the company now, but I need to find a source to confirm this.
You can do all sorts of things with SSH. My favorite is SSHFS, which is couplings for SFTP that treat it like a proper filesystem, and it works on everything that uses SSH. Quicker to setup than a VPN and SMB, and about as secure (you could also theoretically use PAM to authenticate with LDAP or newer MFA protocols)
I use SSHFS daily with my NAS on my home network. It's far faster and simpler to administer than SMB or NFS, with way less config overhead and AAA complications than the other two.
Unfortunately, it is currently semi-abandonware: https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/blob/eadf7f104a479f0313ecd4... It works well enough for me, but there are certain issues to be aware of. For example, listening for file changes via inotify doesn't work-- and it's a double-whammy of neither SFTP nor FUSE supporting that, so it's unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
We know organic interest when we see it, so I merged all the comments into this one (the first) and re-upped it. Meta explanations here if it's the kind of thing you like:
IMO this should be flagged. This is outrage porn, and comments overwhelmingly fall into two camps: ones discussing the author and writing style, completely devoid of intellectual curiosity; and ones venting their own pent up energy based on the title/topic. Very few are interested in the actual points of the article, because it’s written in a way that maximally discourages civil discussion.
I know occasionally a “discuss the title” thread is allowed, but this one is almost strictly worse than just the title without the link, since we don’t get useless comments on the author in the latter case.
Oh, and I say this as someone who vaguely agree with the sentiment.
You're right, but this seems to be a rare boundary condition where some users think it's fun/interesting and others are triggered by it and the two groups are the same order of magnitude.
In such cases the story is going to keep showing up no matter what we do. If we don't yield after 14 submissions we're destined to yield after 140! I'd rather yield after 14. It's just one thread, and easy enough to move on from.
Seven | eight or more prior submissions have been flagged. They've been vouched for, flagged again, marked dead, and resubmitted .. by many different unaligned not bot people.
As dang noted above the HN community wants to thrash this out .. some want it deader than a parrot, others want to comment that much of the AI hype appears to have no clothes and this opinion range comes from 10 year old active accounts (and more recent ones).
I skipped over the blog post and thread several times here, as the shortened title didn't really sound appealing.
It's only after I read it via twitter that I dug back in to see the thread. I agree that this might be seen as "outrage porn"... but who really doesn't love a good rant? It's good to discharge the thundercloud of disquiet through at least one good thread, such as this one.
As for me, and my perspective, I took the Stanford AI course back when it showed up here, and others... just to learn the mechanics of it, and it's fascinating. The hype cycle on this though, is off the charts.
I came to see if there were any others who wanted to get actual legislation to passed to help set up "Thought Leader Jail". ;-)
Pitiful as I am, I need to ask you to stop breaking HN's guidelines. Your account has been doing this repeatedly, and in fact is way over the line at which we ban people.
I'm not banning you at the moment because it wouldn't feel sporting to do so in response to a personal remark. But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules going forward, that would be good.
Also, roads and tires are made out of the goopy parts of oil, so their manufacture impacts the price of the fuel parts of oil. Your EV's roads and tires make it cheaper for others to not buy an EV.
It's a marketplace that also handles the global shipping, warehousing, and delivery of goods on behalf of the sellers. It's a low-margin business that puts a lipstick on the pig that is a bunch of incumbents in the manufacturing and global shipping industries. I do not approve of how they got rid of employees, but I do not envy them. Their partners love mainframes, MS-DOS apps, and faxes. It's hard to work with them.
I don't know if they do this for all of their products, but one bed frame that I purchased from them turned out to be a bed frame you could buy on Amazon for half the cost, just under a more upscale name.
(That bed frame lasted two years. I replaced it with a Thuma. Incredible product.)
It this really an issue? It's selling chairs to a legitimate government agency. People's politics have become so skewed. That's just completely normal behavior.
