> declining content production

Declining? Ten years ago all my Facebook friends were posting things, breakfast pictures, personal updates, trip pictures, commenting on each other posts. Nowadays my feed is Ads, suggested content by people I do not know and a guy that shares news links. In my experience declining is an understatement.
Maybe, but now they have an alternative installed on their phones/laptops.
Because they're authoritarians. There's a large cultural push by people to use government to bludgeon everyone else with their values.

I'm not sure when it switched but it's seems to be more and more acceptable to force people into acting a certain way. It's really anti-american and anti-progressive imo.

A government controlled social media ripe for propaganda seems far more terrifying to me than what's currently on facebook.
How does a rich person getting richer hurt you?
That brings up memories! I did the same thing. We had to sort a million integers in the range 0-1000 (exclusive range). I did a counting sort, and beat every other solution handily.

In my case, though, the teacher disqualified my solution since the resulting lists didn't contain the same fixnums as the one i sorted, which I argued was stupid.

In the end I implemented a merge sort with some tricks and won anyway.

I did it for a year in Japan, not easy but doable. I also hate giving out my phone number. It's just another way for companies to track users.
It's a bit of both. It basically boils down to it being an invasive change to core kernel code that doesn't have demonstrable benefit to users, and is specific to one platform. If we can point at a specific application and say "look, this speeds up 300% with AMX" then that might help convince people, but there would definitely be quite some political discussion, not in the least because what Apple did is a violation of the architecture.

I'm hoping we can at least push through a prctl to turn on TSO mode for x86 emulation. I think that one will be simple enough and have enough benefits to convince people.
That could apply to TV, video games, alcohol culture, porn or any number of things.

It seems to be the near monopoly that is one of the major issues for FB. Lack of competition seems to lead to a house of horrors.
Except who the hell even use E2EE on Telegram?

That's really smart. The others were just angry because they couldn't think outside of the box. Nice work!
What happened yesterday was (appears to be) Facebook screwing up their own routing and DNS, not anyone else's. They didn't take down routing for any IPs and domains they didn't own. I can't imagine any other protocol making a mistake like FB's impossible

So, maybe <5% of WhatsApp users. Bit less headline grabbing when put that way. Not saying that its completely insignificant number, but considering that most likely all of them will not be leaving WA, or even staying on Telegram, it doesn't sound like major thing either.

I think that is exactly right. Tim Cook is the most amazing supply chain and operational leader – but he is not a product person. He doesn't have the knack for diving in and really refining how things work.

Without that centralized leadership Apple will still have components that excel, like processors, but the fundamental user experience will keep degrading.

I suspect it may have something to do with US laws. For example, in India, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act 2012 legislates that religious organisations compulsorily have to inform the authorities if it becomes aware of any act of sexual misconduct / pervesity against children by their clergy or in the organisation. This means that no religious organisation can try to "settle" the issue between the abuser and the victim within their community as the law prioritises it as a criminal matter, giving no leeway to anyone on it. Even if the victim chooses to not file a complaint, the police can investigate and try and prosecute the accused.
It's not about the software, it's about the currency and the people who own it.

It's much more convenient indeed, just be aware (I kinda trust that you, being on HN, already are) that it's all encrypted-to-the-server, so any sysadmin can read or hand over your messages. Choosing between known metadata gathering on WhatsApp and a potential Telegram data breach (intentional or unintentional), it's really a devil's dilemma for me.

Since a few months (now that Telegram has failed to deliver on the encryption promise and profit model for many years, making it a bit too shady) I've been moving more and more to Signal (after also trying Keybase, Threema, Wire, Riot/Element, Jami/Ring, and evaluating others), but man usability and features really take a hit with any of them. Enjoy Telegram, but be aware of the trade-off!

> We're starting with one, and Apple has a much better track record of incremental change and avoiding hardware churn. This is unique, and we've literally heard from Apple employees that this is an explicit goal. It shows all throughout the SoC design.

Absolutely a fair point! I concede that the reverse engineering story with Apple may very well be less painful than it is with other vendors. Honestly, I hope for your sanity that it is! :D

The GP is describing a signal that your application can react to, not a behavior of allocation failure.

Linux could use some improvement on both. The idea that you always have enough swap and can send everything not used there is wrong. Applications know better how they behave a low-memory than the kernel.
This is a good point. Having and taking a path to commercialization itself shouldn't be the problem in and of itself.

I think the issues with IdentityServer was that it felt like a bait-and-switch in the timing of the commercialization decision more than anything: Microsoft replaced a lot of bespoke OpenID/OpenID Connect/OAuth libraries in ASP.NET with IdentityServer including in out-of-the-box ASP.NET Core templates. Then IdentityServer decided it needed to explore commercialized relicensing.

1. Microsoft could have done better diligence that IdentityServer was financially healthy and in a place to deal with increased maintenance and support needs before baking it into ASP.NET templates.

2. The .NET Foundation could have helped IdentityServer find a commercial licensing regime/path to commercialization that wouldn't have impacted as much all of the users now using it ASP.NET templates.

3. IdentityServer's authors seemed to be in a "take our ball and go home" mood anyway and probably wouldn't have listened to advice from the .NET Foundation had they asked. (And it sounds like they didn't from the article here.)

4. The .NET Foundation sees the root cause problem here that they don't own the projects' copyrights/licenses/CLAs and want to crack down on mandating full ownership now. The article points out this feels almost an unnecessarily rude and authoritarian response. However, as other comments here point out, this is always the harsh learning cycle of Open Source Foundations going back to the OG FSF itself, and including just about everyone (Apache, Software Freedom Conservancy, you name it).

Of those, the .NET Foundation is in the hard place of getting most of the blame that they couldn't stop IdentityServer taking their ball and going home and the rock of now trying to do the hard part that they should have done sooner to prevent this mess in the first place just a little bit too late (and making other projects feel like they are being punished even though they did nothing wrong).

Between Microsoft and IdentityServer there should have been more ways to commercialize the success of the project without relicensing IdentityServer or dropping the project from open source to spite Microsoft trying to rely on it in templates. I don't know who is to blame more there, but I don't envy how much this seems a PR disaster to the .NET Foundation.
Yup, and also key:

>>"...The company has also hidden the extent to which content production per user has been in long-term decline"

IOW, they still count as "active users" people who have abandoned the platform except for occasionally checking on other contacts there. Which means that FB are at real risk of a vicious cycle tipping-point as users disengage, notice less activity in their circle, disengage, and pretty soon everyone either notices that nothing is happening, or doesn't notice and just stops checking in...
I meant not a fork, but just a developer. I would love to work on Firefox full time without actually working for Mozilla. I'm sure you could find much more qualified candidates than me who would also do so.
>You're not some kind of authority on how terms should be used

Yes, I agree I'm not and I previously said, "I was making a descriptive and not prescriptive statement." If you're not familiar with descriptive-vs-prescriptive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem

>to admonish the other user to use it in the way you like.

To be clear, I didn't admonish him. I thought he misunderstood how _others_ were (mis)using the "AI" term. I didn't disagree with the OP about "AI" and did not instruct him to use it differently.

>It is common in the lay press to describe systems created by AI researchers as "AI" or "AIs" and it's even more common to refer to deep learning reserach synechdochically as "AI", or "machine learning", but those are terminological mistakes that are to be expected

When you write, "It is common in the lay press to describe systems created ..." you just restated the same descriptive-vs-prescriptive explanation I did.

And yes! Others we don't control keep repeating "terminological mistakes" as you call it. That's my point and you're restating it in different words. I just happened to use the word "downgraded" instead of "terminological mistakes". Maybe there's a language barrier and it's that particular word that bothers you?

>Researchers in the field, of course, don't ever call their work "AI"!

Exactly! So now we must hold two contradictory facts (not opinions) in our head:

(1) academic researchers don't call their work "AI"

(2) ~2 billion search results for the term "AI" of which most usage are "terminological mistakes" : https://www.google.com/search?q=%22AI%22+software

So the reality is that we still have 2 billion pages using "AI" that didn't obey any authority such as academic researchers telling them how to use it. Now what? I guess we can complain, "I wish 2 billion webpages didn't slap "AI" on everything!"

Has that changed anything? Was that complaint about others' language (mis)usage productive to the discussion? In my opinion, I don't think so.

As analogy, if you insist that peanuts/cashews/almonds correct definition is "legumes" and not "nuts" -- you still have to simultaneously hold another contradictory definition in your head to understand that others are still referring to those as "nuts". Descriptive-vs-Prescriptive.

EDIT reply to: >"So we agree that 'the label "AI" (naked with no modifiers) has already been downgraded to "weak AI"' is just your opinion, correct?"

You're playing argument games trying to trap me in "my opinion" instead of noticing that you said the same thing I did. No it's not my opinion; it's a factual observation of what people are doing. It's also not my opinion that you explained what the world does as "terminological mistakes" -- a factual observation -- which was a restatement of what I already said. This means we're going around in circles.

In any case, I would like to ask you why you think academic researchers in AI field don't call their work "AI"?
Fwiw sentry does that out of the box, anything below warning (I think) is used as context for “actual events”.
> The public is not presently pro-regulation

I guess that this is true for the USA. But Facebook is a global company and other countries may be more regulation friendly.
There are very few billionaires. Who "estimated" this? Based on what?
I'm paraphrasing a similar comment I made on a different thread, but this whole situation seems fishy to me...

Out of the blue some larger-than-life person (with impeccable credentials, no less) comes out of the woodwork and is lauded with attention while the big news outlets make this massive push against Facebook, all while congress is holding hearings about regulating social media. Then a massive outage happens at Facebook right after the New York Times published an article titled "Facebook Is Weaker Than We Knew." (This could honestly just be atrocious luck and an incredible coincidence.)

This woman is also remarkably calm, well-spoken, knowledgeable, and articulate for someone testifying before the Senate for the very first time - all while being broadcast around the globe, live on television. Perhaps she's simply a natural, but I sense she received some coaching and preparation beforehand. Combine that with how well she is being received by senators from both parties and you start to wonder just how much of this was orchestrated in advance.
We can see it as a form of taxation.

Isn't the following approximately right: suppose that some country has a net worth of 10B (calculated somehow). The government decides that it needs some cash, so it prints another 10B of that currency and injects it into the system. Well, all it has done is devalue the currency by half, thereby looting half the economy of half its value, transferring that to the government. It's just a ploy to steal 5B by declaring it to be government property, which is possible since every instance of money is a tiny abstract contract which is controlled by the government's treasury/mint.

It's like issuing new stock to raise cash, without any increase in the total market valuation, which nothing but a cash grab from the current share holders made possible by controlling the issuance of stock.
What is the appropriate middle though? Think about alcohol culture. Should we ban beer commercials on TV? Only allow beer commercials with talking frogs rather than attractive young people having fun?
I've seen this comment repeated about 4 or 5 times in the last 30 minutes. HN is not a place for vacuous and lame comments like these.
Not if FB has a halfway decent engineering culture. People make mistakes. They're practically fundamental to being a person. You can minimize mistakes, but any system that requires perfect human performance will fail.
Better yet, having this extension installed is just another data point more and will count against your future social score because paranoia is not healthy.

Is there? What evidence do you have for that?
Cryptocurrencies do not exactly make it harder to enforce taxes on a landed citizenry. The government is what enforces land property in the first place, and if you're late on your taxes they'll just put a tax lien on your land and ultimately stop enforcing your property rights on it.
I agree. There is no way any major economy will switch back to the gold standard unless there is some highly unlikely earth shattering event.
I believe this has come up multiple times on HN but the reason Apple breaks NVMe is because NVMe command structure isn't large enough to hold all the crypto state information they need to shove down to the device. The spec would not support what they are doing, so their choice was to either tweak NVMe to suit, or abandon their feature.
> Tax it all imo.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Getting tunnel vision on cryptocurrency is totally missing the point. Even if all cryptocurrnecies disappeared tomorrow, nothing would fundamentally change and our civilization would still be hopelessly unsustainable.

The solution to carbon pollution has to apply to all forms of our consumption, or it won't actually matter in the long run.

There can be a very important subjective difference between close calls and actual bad experience. As well, it’s quite nuanced, even such a a close call can still be classed as a net “bad” experience, even if the really bad thing didn’t actually happen.

I don't think Google really cares about listening to their users. I have spent more than 6 hours trying to get simple warranty issues resolved. I wish they had to feel the pain of their actions and decisions.
Everything Apple does they do because it makes sense for them. They are neither trying to help nor hinder third-party OSes. They just don't care.

The NVMe design makes sense in the context of their common ASC architecture and how their SoC works. Various quirks are due to things like supporting their storage encryption. Even for things which we can't quite explain, I have no trouble believing that it made sense for them for whatever reason.
The problem with that is what is and isn't disinformation isn't as clear cut as alcohol/tobacco being harmful for your health.

The former could be easily abused to create a certain narrative.
