Perhaps the people who do photography and filming for a business have thought of it. So, yes, but there are of course multiple ways to work with a team (or in a team of two - not to be the one pressing the shutter and still being the one ow

Thaler seems to go out of his way to claim no human intervention and authorship by the AI - So yeah, that's a very specific ruling that has little to do with AI as a tool. It's really more about AI personhood. What's potentia

Tape is a way to get volume. Through easily spooled layers. Not fast access but otherwise not unreasonable. Plus tapes stored outside of the drive. Another way to look at it: "and yet here we are". Tape is still what has led to th

I meant more monetary cost. Nominally cloud storage for one unit of storage and one unit of time is perfectly "fine". Except that it adds up. More storage, indefinitely held, multiple hosts. Data which needs to be copied from one

You seem well placed to answer this one: how is cost for this resilience? Compare to the cost of the storage itself? Including the cost of migrating from solutions that are withdrawn from the market?

Hehe. If you're trying to live with just a laptop and an LTO drive, I can certainly see it! I'd expect most people who get into LTO drives have a massive set of hard drives, some convoluted desktop-and-up case(s) to run them, a co

LTO tape tech has gotten into pretty nutty territory - in order to achieve its density and speed. It wasn't "easy". So, so far away from C90 technology.

Well, professionally, tape is it - there is technology and it lasts more than 5 years. Unfortunately, the market for tape has evolved such that it's not very friendly to the non-pros. Not impossible but not friendly. That probably has

This is a good idea. One signal would be HN mentions. Second might be reddit mentions, but with a lot of qualifications. As a first step, a page showing recent youtube links from HN would be nice!

I readily follow youtube links offered on HN discussions. If anything, I could use more of these. But otherwise I agree with your concern. Video recommendations on youtube was far from perfect (very repetitive in my experience), but was unc

One theory was to rant at everyone about everything in the hope of getting little random trade concessions from everyone. The squeeky wheel is the one that gets greased or something. The "what" didn't matter. BUT the ranting

> I've heard it called a "write-only language" A frequent opinion. Easy way to fit in for people who never bothered to learn the language. Which is all the more sad that Perl is super easy to learn (one layer at a time).

So to be fair, "extremely simple to grasp" because looked at superficially. Once you dig into it, there is a lot happening in there. Both in what can go into an actual production grammar, and what is present in the parsing output.
