CubsFan1060on Broadcom Changing Licensing to BSL

I'm no lawyer, but this part

"You are hereby granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under Broadcom’s copyrights to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software in source code or binary form for use in connection with Broadcom products."

Feels like it's saying you're only allowed to use it in the future if you use it in relation to some Broadcom product.

Interesting option.

CubsFan1060on How RSS beat Microsoft

This sounds interesting. Do you have anything to show yet?

CubsFan1060on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami

The main question as always is price. I was also interested in things like Chainguard and Docker secure images until I had a sales call with them and found out the price.

I can’t seem to find the price anywhere on your site… I assume the reason for that is that it’s also nearly impossible for a non-fortune 500 to afford?

CubsFan1060on VictoriaLogs Practical Ingestion Guide for Message, Time and Streams

Can you share any additional details? What kind of ingestion do you have, with what dimensions of a clickhouse cluster?

I'm also curious how it handles structured vs unstructured logs.

Thanks!

That seems pretty good. Do you have any sort of HA solution?

CubsFan1060on VictoriaLogs Practical Ingestion Guide for Message, Time and Streams

I would have said it sounded pretty good. What technologies are you comparing it against, out of curiosity.

CubsFan1060on VictoriaLogs Practical Ingestion Guide for Message, Time and Streams

Can you talk a little bit about your Victoria Logs setup? About how many logs are you ingesting and what kind of sizing do you have on your setup?

CubsFan1060on Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network

Yeah. I mean, the rest is concerning. But one day it just started popping up every time I went into a meeting. Which, of course, was exactly the time that I was busy in a meeting, and didn't have time to dig through settings to figure out how to turn it off.

CubsFan1060on Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network

If it helps, this has been one of the most infuriating things for me in recent memory. I don't understand why this wasn't opt-in.

CubsFan1060on Why AO3 Was Down

I didn't see it mentioned, but the quick fix for this (assuming you don't depend on the order of id's) is just to alter your sequence to use the max negative int, and increment from there. Not a complete solution, but buys enough time to actually fix the issue.

Did you or do you plan to publish any of your code or data sets from this?

Wouldn't the fourth way be via increasing either birth rate or immigration?

CubsFan1060on Kagi Assistant is now available to all users

I unfortunately don't make the policies, or always agree with them. But, I do have to follow them.

CubsFan1060on Kagi Assistant is now available to all users

Is there a way to disable this? We have a strict no-ai policy. Even having it available will be an issue and I may not be able to use Kagi at work.

Awesome. I'm thinking about making it my daily driver everywhere, but wasn't sure if there was anything big that would make me avoid it.

Thanks!

Am I losing my mind, or have there been a lot of links to 404media.co recently?

CubsFan1060on TikTok Shut Down: Data Shows 85% Drop in US Access (and Surge to Alternatives)

I think it depends on how you define a lot of stuff, and what you think the effects are.

If you think there are mental health effects, then it's really no different than outlawing anything with negative effects. "I don't know why we outlaw fentanyl. Nobody is being forced to use it. Don't use it personally if you don't like it."

If someone believes that these type of apps pose a real danger to people and society, it's a take that makes sense.

CubsFan1060on Banning TikTok Is Unconstitutional. The Supreme Court Must Step In

Sounds like they are preparing to shut down in the US.

I don't think there's any reason they can't continue as a web app. I think American companies are barred from doing business with them.

This is great. I wish I could add a clock to it somehow. This would be super useful for auditing purposes.

Of course that can be said for nearly anything you own. iPhone, android, tablet, anything that is Bluetooth (for instance, your car), etc.

CubsFan1060on How I program with LLMs

You can run Claude on both AWS and Google Cloud. I’m fairly certain they don’t share data, but would need to verify to be sure.

CubsFan1060on Time-Series Anomaly Detection: A Decade Review

To be clear "some big flaws" was probably overstating it. I'm going to edit that. Also, thanks for the work on this. I would absolutely love to contribute, but my maths are not good enough for this :)

The biggest thing I've run into in my testing is that an anomaly of reasonably short timeframe seems to throw the upper and lower bands off for quite some time.

That being said, perhaps changing some of the variables would help with that, and I just don't have enough skill to be able to understand the exact way to adjust that.

CubsFan1060on Time-Series Anomaly Detection: A Decade Review

Gitlab also has this: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/tamland

I'm not really smart in these areas, but it feels like forecasting and anomaly detection are pretty related. I could be wrong though.
