They do, but they buy a pass to a gym that is closer to home, which does not help building relationships within the company.


When I worked at a company with a gym, people would finesse their workout into their working day, so they weren't spending additional time in their day working out. That's the perk imo, the time savings and convenience, not saving on a gym membership.


Part of the perk is also avoiding the question "is it worth it for me?". There's way less friction when something is free, even when compared with a somewhat negligible price.


I wish there was a phone flip case with a keyboard. I have seen tablet keyboards like this, but they are too big to use with a smartphone.


The dataset Z is a collection of facts. The output Y captures the patterns from Z. The LLM can generate novel insights (facts) that satisfy Y without violating the data processing inequality if we consider the patterns to be a part of the information of Z.


If I understand you correctly, you basically mean some interpolation of knowledge within Z, that was not known to humans before, but can be synthesized by recombination of information within Z.

Yet, that still means, knowledge of O cannot be synthesized.


I want to segregate, not to share.


I don't think this would be a factor. Some PCI-E 4.0 SSDs already come with metal heatsinks out of the box. If future SSDs needs addtitional cooling, this will be communicated to the buyer.

I think that the bigger question is whether 25W can be phisically supplied to the drives by contemporary motherboards. What is the power limit for the m.2 ports?


At least according to wikipedia each pin is rated up to 0.5A with I think nine 3.3v pins so technically just around ~15W peak

Technically that's what U.2 (2.5 inch form factor for SSDs) would be for.

They get 5V/12V and thicker connector, I severely doubt M.2 could swing 25W as it only has 3.3V on it


Make a query whose parameters exclude the previous page results altogether. I learned about this from here: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2016/03/30/five-ways-to-pagin...


I am a former Starter subscriber. This will be the second time they bump the price for my team.


Don't forget about the singular zf and btrf.


Those couldn't be pronounced like single words. I'd pronounce composef like compose-eff.


This is not going to play well with open-space offices.


Did the two Israeli dudes violate the Redis license?


Is it possible to do something legal, yet morally wrong?


“By selecting this license I give anyone permission to do X, Y, and Z with my software - provided they do A as well.”

“I’m going to chose to do Z and A with your software.”

“Moral hazard! Moral hazard!”

Picking a license indicates what you are willing to have others do with your work. If you don’t want people to be able to monetize it, pick a different license.


> Picking a license indicates what you are willing to have others do with your work.

Picking a license indicates what you are willing to have others do with your work without going after them with a threat of handcuffs and prison bars. I might not be willing to do or threaten (government-mediated) violence to someone for being an arsehole, and yet consider them an arsehole.


This seems pretty silly. It's a civil matter, isn't it? Has anyone ever gone to jail for violating an open source license?

You could simply choose to not pursue legal action against license violators. Choosing a permissive license and then complaining when people do what you gave them permission to do is just ridiculous.


You can goto jail for not paying a civil settlement. All laws are eventually backed by violence.


> It's a civil matter, isn't it?

No. Willful copyright infringement for commercial game is a crime. See 17 U.S.C. § 506(a).


Clearly there was demand for a commercial offering. What should they have done differently?


Are you referring to Microsoft's business model?


It's possible. But there is nothing immoral here.


External impression, not facts, but intuition seeing how some VCs and startups are acting:

He didn't seem to have a real choice, maybe an illusion of choice since (from an external point of view) as he was pinned against the wall.

They were using his software commercially and even using the trademark of Salvatore (he was complaining about such uses occasionally). He was broke, I guess that's why he didn't register the trademark. Literally while they raised 40M USD, he was explaining struggling on this board:

This is actually one year after the first Redis Labs deal :/ Totally not the speech of someone with a multi-million exit in sight.

Fast-forward several years later: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19203596 (with already >1B valuation)

If Salvatore just got 10% of the company he would get 100M+ USD. 1%: 10M+ USD.

Something must have happened.

If I'm wrong and he is super rich, then it's my mistake, but in general it's incredibly easy to get screwed up in a hostile shareholding / corporate environment when in front of you you have experienced lawyers and bankers.


As long as the stock is illiquid you aren't really settled, are you?


It is, but did they?
