godot has a c++ toxicity issue to solve for elf/linux game binaries, I did report to them the issue, and indeed, they reasonably cannot do anything, only the gcc devs (glibc devs should be safe now) can do something (or godot would have to move to good and plain C, or similar).

Game binaries should be a set of elf binaries statically loading (elf dt_needed) only libdl, namely with only dlopen/dlsym(tls safe)/dlclose symbols (with the oldest version as possible, probably 2.2.5) in the elf dynsym section except the other symbols from those very distributed binaries.

The pb is the static gcc libstdc++ (and to a lesser extent the gcc static libgcc) does not libdl anything from the C runtime, or even worse could link to glibc internal symbols. All those very symbols, will end up in the elf dynsym section of the distributed binaries with the versions from the glibc used at link time. Namely, if a user wants to run on a older glibc distro those binaries, since glibc devs have a versioning frenzy, it won't even load (and the reasons are often more planned obsolescence than anything else).

Some must not forget that static linking won't do unless a full elf loader is in linked in, since xcb/(wayland is static)/libasound(pulseaudio,pipewire,jack,whatever is hidden behind the alsa api)/libxkbcommon(-x11)/vulkan/(GL) libs will have to be loaded from system.

Godot, as mitigation, pushes the devs to link with a very, VERY old, glibc (a decade?). It provides "containers" for "building" with an old glibc, and for the devs not using those containers, the documentation is clear about the age of the glibc to link with.

The reality is gcc c++ was never meant for binary-only distribution, just never.

I’ve been comparing Dall-E, MidJourney, and StableDiffusion. Goes to show how much training set and implementation choices matter. But in all cases, you have to think of the underlying labeled text-to-image sets as paint colors to mix, and prepare a palette accordingly. Still haven’t figured out how to get what I want, but to your point, one can get closer.

- - -

Not sure if this is why, but with OpenAI’s Dall-E, you can’t use public figures. You can use proxies, such as “60 year old banker with salt and pepper hair” and then fill in the rest, e.g. “handsome 60 year old banker with salt and pepper hair giving a speech while standing above 12 cucumbers”:

https://i.imgur.com/qYKOWM1.jpg

Telling it oil painting can fudge who the person is, then pick one that’s close and generate variations:

https://i.imgur.com/QRbV7aM.jpg

Or use a reasonable photo and then use edit and in-painting to try to improve the implausible subject. This takes a photo from the first prompt above, erases the lower half of image, and makes a new prompt for the lower half, while keeping just enough of the upper half to orient the collage, e.g. “[photo_edit] + banker giving a speech to cucumbers bin full of cucumbers”:

Then one upsized plausible painting from among those, where the actual command was “King Philippe of Belgium talking in a large group of cucumbers --q 2 --uplight” which is pretty basic.

Email does suck, at least HTML email. And that's not just because HTML was and still is the wrong markup tool for email.

I'm reading most of my mail with mutt on the command line and that works quite well. Until … some email with a confirmation link for something shows up. Or with the wrong MIME structure.

Because these confirmation links more often than not are execessivly long, state-carrying links, which wrap around even in my 99 (or more) columns wide windows. Because lazy web designers don't use a short SHA key, which would relate to a database entry of the full data. No, they send their complete state.

Oh, and did I mention those MIME emails with the wrong structure? Where the first part is the text part telling me that my MUA cannot display their fine mail? It can (easily formatted with external helpers like w3m) but I have to select the 2nd or 3rd part of their "fine" mail first by hand.
> I'm more worried about us becoming numb to visual novelty

Given how people are becoming numb to things like porn and violence, seeking out the ever more extreme, I'd say there's a pretty good change that you're right.

As with porn for instance, where some are seeking out amateur porn, going in the other direction, there might also be a small segment who starts to seek out ever more authentic art. That is until someone finds out that you just slap "authentic" or "Human-made" on the AI stuff.

As much as Google Workspace email feels convenient, they have sort of broken the IMAP with the label system. Syncing to conventional email clients without label feature just creates multiple copies of emails if they have been labeled with more than 1 label. It is frustrating sometimes

Tom Scott has a good video for anyone looking for a visual of this phenomenon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYeeTvitvFU

He shows off a rural (and thankfully now fixed) crossroads in the UK with seemingly great visibility and an unusually high rate of cyclist fatalities - the roads are at such an angle that any reckless driving speed can align with a reasonable cycling speed such that the driver's door pillar can block visibility of a cyclist with right of way right up to the point of impact - and it's compounded by the fact that the car is necessarily approaching from behind the cyclist, so a passing cyclist will be unaware of the danger possibly until they get hit.

Of course if drivers in the area actually followed the stop signs no one would get hit - but if you watch the video in a five minute period genuinely only about half of the cars passing through actually come to a complete stop at the stop sign. You need more than signage and quietly hoping that people to do the right thing.
Describing potential causation isn't a cliché, it's one of the most basic motives for communication.

You might want to consider how much Microsoft uses it in their own products before choosing to use it. This article describes the situation pretty well:

"not even Microsoft, literally the people who own Xamarin, use it in any of their big products like Teams, Outlook, and the list goes on. Instead, they reach for native development or Electron. So we can just tie a bow in it and have a minute's silence for another end-of-life cross-platform software development framework."

"None of These Problems Are Solved With MAUI. The poor developer experience, how apps look, XAML being a pain, and these other core issues won’t be resolved by MAUI. So, if you already know Xamarin Forms, and you’re waiting for MAUI to land, but you’re not 100% thrilled with the experience so far, then it’s a great opportunity to think about learning something else."

Only $10k? I've planned for and budgeted for repairs and additions averaging 20% of the loan for the lifetime of the house. It's still cheaper to buy than to rent even with 20% on top of PITI.

It's cheaper because I'm paying myself when I pay my mortgage: if I decide to sell then a lot of that mortgage is now returned to me. You will never pay yourself the same way by renting.

If I don't sell then 20% on top of PITI is what I was paying in rent anyway.
Agreed - it's hard to put your finger on it, but _something_ makes the code much easier to parse mentally at a glance.
Email clients are absolutely terrible. If the best we can do is Thunderbird, a slow-moving almost abandonware monolith (have a look at its extension store. It's a ghost town), the situation is dire.

Webmail is good enough, but PWA implementation across operating systems is terrible as well. I keep Fastmail pinned in a browser tab, and let's hope I don't close the browser.

I hear CLI email clients are great, but the latest startup newsletter didn't get the memo and I keep receiving HTML emails with images, and I don't want to live in the terminal either.
I've moved from Toronto downtown(ish) to a commuting/satellite community (for love - my wife and her family all live there:).

It astonishes me how many people in that town are complaining how it used to be small and full of farm fields, and now there are all these new people and houses and neighbourhoods, and we need to stop the expansion.

Every.Single.One. of them moved there within their lifetime. NONE of them were born there. THey did the exact same thing they are now complaining and trying to stop others. None of them, when asked, are even remotely willing to move to a high density downtown condo, if they are so committed and passionate to preserving the fields and small community.

It absolutely astonishes me, the utter lack of self-awareness: why are you expecting others to be different than yourself?

I've occasionally ridden Danish cargo tricycles, and like any tricycle they're very different to steer compared to a bicycle.

Be careful not to tip it on the first corner. You have to actively steer it, rather than just leaning. I assume people get used to it, but I didn't really like riding one.

With three wheels these obviously aren't bicycles.
You’re exactly right of course. The hullaboo around it is the perfect amount for me to be a curmudgeon about.

I’m really looking forward to everyone realizing that there is a new baseline of capability, which is whatever amount above the old baseline, and that everyone ends up roughly where they started but with auto tune now.

Some proportion of programmers are quite sure that "debugging segfaults" wasn't a problem. Most of them didn't move to Rust though of course.

Those generated images, fixed permanently in the stage of early adulthood could still be produced when the model is well past retirement age.
Bit of column A, bit of column B; I'm confident that Facebook and Google have huge datasets of people's personal information and photos, but they will not use them in anything public facing, because they know this scares people and will cause huge lawsuits.

So for the public image generators, they will use public images; I believe places like artstation and flickr will be used a lot. Also because they will include metadata, either on the descriptions or in the photo's metadata, about the location, scene, setting, camera, etc.

Then (and I'm mainly thinking of Dall-E here) there's other open caches of data, like collections of artwork along with intricate descriptions of what they depict.
It's funny that everyone here is expecting airtight security practices, proper vulnerability disclosure and general trustworthiness from an app that's a tiny step above the likes of BitTorrent and PopcornTime.

Because family members use it and they don't want to use alternative communication methods, because groups you are involved in use it for organization and if you want to stay involved in said groups then you have to use it, because the country you live in has a large amount of its social web woven through facebook.

There are lots of reasons. Yes they aren't literal needs as in you are going to die, but sometimes the cost of not using facebook is significantly greater than the cost of using it.

Just because you need a car at some point doesn't mean you always want a car forever.

And as soon as kids are old enough to ride bicycles or public transport themselves you live situation changes and you can very likely get rid of your car.

And if you actually look into places like Netherlands you will see that lots of people don't have cars even with small kids. The 'Soccor mom with SUV' cliche in the US, is replaced in the Netherlands by the 'Bicycle mom' who brings here kids in on bicycles.

We are on top of .NET 6 today. Been using a .NET stack for over half a decade in production.

We still just do the web app thing. For our business & customers, this is the lowest-friction way to deliver the application experience. So, we are effectively cross platform on both our client and server. We only have to maintain one code pile to make it all happen.

If you can figure out a way to make the web work for you, try it. Having an app icon on someone's phone is such a ridiculously wasteful thing to chase unless you can properly justify it.
It would be surprising if someone that high-performing weren't promoted into a different role. My claim isn't that such differences don't exist among people... only that we don't say such a group is "collaborating", which (to me) typically connotes some roughly equal breakdown of work. We say that the group has a leader, or that it is "A's project, but X, Y, and Z are helping a little."

The OP's thesis is that the rhetoric around "tens of millions of people collaborating to produce OSS" is misleading, and I think his point is fair. Most people would be surprised to see how single-individual-heavy the actual production is.

It's about as helpful as telling someone to delete their Google account or their Apple account. If someone is actually invested in either of these services, they're not going to want to walk away even if they're harmful to their security/privacy/personal wellbeing. The average person really doesn't care, so begging HN users to leave Facebook is almost comedically useless advice. All it serves to do is farm karma and make you feel better for posting it, really.

Personally I despise Facebook as a company and a service, but the amount of flak HN gives them is straight-up ridiculous. Facebook is indeed bad, but is this site really going to forget the military contract work Microsoft does, or the religious manhunt Apple aids China in? And yet, when people here about these war crimes they don't suggest throwing away their computer or finding a new replacement service. They just... keep using it. Same as Facebook users. Same as Macbook users. Same as Windows users.

And all of this is fine!

The overall goal shouldn't be to dictate how other people use the internet. Facebook has a right to exist, and we have a right to hold it in check with relevent litigation. If people think that Facebook violates the law, then let's hold them accountable! Otherwise, your complaints are genuinely useless in the context of discussing healthy browsing habits on HN.
Email and SMS are very much distributed systems. There are many mail servers, and many telephone companies, cell phone companies and VoIP providers that can send SMS messages. With SMS messages the problem is quite similar to e-mail in that the protocol the network is built on (SS7) was designed in a time when all carriers that had access to the phone network were trusted.

You've fallen into the naive assumption that spammers use the same identity for each piece of spam being sent out, which is simply not true. I get plenty of spam phone calls with fake phone numbers despite the fact that STIR/SHAKEN has supposedly been implemented. Forged digital identities are cheap. And if forged identities are cheap, there's no trust mechanism that can work.

Presumably you'll counter by saying that you can simply assign a negative trust to unknown identities. In the real world there are plenty of us that have to communicate with people we haven't communicated with before (my business can't afford to turn away customers I don't already know), so we can't simply drop unknown identities.

The spam problem is hard because identities are hard, and digital identities are doubly so. Time and time again has proven that simple hand wavey solutions do not work.
