Since you mention DeepMind, DeepL is German (Cologne). It is the best translator for the languages it supports. Source: I have a sister who is a professional translator. She uses it to get a rough version and then polishes it up as needed. No other tool produces a rough version that is good enough to save time.

The DeepL founder is, from his name, probably Polish.

It would be helpful to explain what DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin, terrible name!) and CLA (contributor license agreement) stand for. I managed to get the idea from context and google though it would have been nice to be explicit in the post.

The point about the balance of power and power dynamics involved is interesting. I think it applies more broadly as well. Are these really “agreements” when individuals have no ability to negotiate them? They seem more like playground rules.
As the article hints, the irony is that many postcolonialists have a caricatured understanding of history. There are proper intellectual histories that establish abundantly that pre-15th century science, engineering and mathematics have been built by multiple cultures/nations and Western Europe was relatively a backwater of this international activity.

Civilizations have come and gone -- all we have in their wake is some of their pottery and some of their knowledge.

Come 15th c. AD and things change dramatically. Science & technology can barely happen if you're in poverty due to subjugation, so comparisons of colonized nations with their colonizers from the 15th to the 20th centuries are simply not apples to apples. Today you can already witness China and India getting started on their own scientific & technological journeys (with China obviously way ahead). In another 5 centuries, maybe we'll all be wondering about the Chinese miracle, astonished at how they accelerated science & technology so dramatically way beyond what some north-west Eurasian nation-states cobbled together during and shortly after the so-called Enlightenment.

CLAs for foundations deserve considerable security, but that's nothing on CLAs for companies; I cannot ever see a good reason to sign on for one of those.
This flippant comment completely ignores the known problems with getting rid of rent-seeking behavior. Those that benefit from it will try very hard to keep it and the vast majority that are harmed, but only by a small amount, will not organize and campaign aggressively for its removal.

Do bear in mind that I was answering a question about how to swap coins given such a low amount of time that this hacker (likely insider; opinion) had. I named decentralized exchanges because they don't give up the ownerships of their crypto AND they offer bridges/swapping services from one coin to another - which makes it not only harder to track the assets when you're trying to do this sort of process, but it also offers a more streamlined approach for doing the process in the first place - which is swapping a bunch of coins.

For sake of lucidity, I want to say that this doesn't necessarily make DeFi integral to these hacks, but it does make the process of liquidating from these hacks easier.

> The initial point release could not run on the RS/6000. There are people who have successfully installed and used it in the following years; it does however require modifications and source that were created after the fact.

I am curious about this. RS/6000's had had a microchannel bus and architecture until mid late nineties – when IBM started the transition onto the PCI bus in their RS6K workstations in the earnest (but not the servers), and – if my memory serves me well – the first few generations of new, PCI-based RS6k workstations had some hardware compatibility issues. Solaris also required Open Firmware to access the device tree and to boot up, and PReP proved to be a problematic replacement.

> I’ve personally installed Solaris on a PPC ThinkPad, which is even more different from a PowerStack than an RS/6000 is.

The PowerStack was effectively a standard PC with standard PC components inside, but with a PowerPC CPU and it came in a fancy, futuristic looking case which were the only two redeeming qualities / discerning features about the PowerStack. There was nothing else that was special about the PowerStack, and that was the point Motorola, Bull, Be and (to a certain extent) Apple and IBM were trying to make: we also make standard PC's, just like everyone else out there, that have a faster and a better CPU (PowerPC) compared to Intel CPU's. But then Motorola could not deliver, and IBM was not all that interested, and Intel dropped the Pentium Pro. Sun's own Ultra's 5/20/20/60 were, essentially, the same thing: a standard PC with a fancy CPU enslosed.
The electricity to run a heat pump that moves heat where you want it is cheaper than the gas you need to burn to make an equivalent amount of heat. On the very coldest days the efficiency of a heat pump can drop enough for this not to be the case, but over the course of the year an electric heat pump will save you money over burning gas. There are pretty significant environmental costs to burning gas in our homes, less about the combustion exhaust than the total amount of leaks within the distribution system that allow unburned methane to escape to the atmosphere. There's also growing awareness that many classes of gas appliance produce a lot more indoor air pollution that causes lung disease (especially in children) than was previously expected.

If you read the article, it refers to using a long discredited restriction on free speech from WW1. This refers to the law used by President Wilson to put people arguing against the war into jail. That this kind of law has survived this long without being overturned by the US Supreme Court is itself a terrible crime. Qualified Immunity imho is just the latest way to give the police unlimited power to abuse civil rights.
No, wait a moment, I think it's a fair question. Elon's default posture for the past decade has been clowning on the surface whilst having an agenda underneath. At the very least, he hedges his bets if nothing else.

I don't like the guy, but him suddenly sucking at business is admittedly a new phenomenon and I wouldn't rule out a greater play.

Carreyou had won two Pulitzers before he started reporting on Theranos. He was a successful professional. His reporting was so notable it became part of the story of Theranos. His first story on Theranos was published 3 years before the book. I'm pretty sure the book only exists because of the quality of the reporting. The reporting was not in service of the book.
Congrats on the successful "Show HN". I'm sure you are getting some quality visits out of it. Apart from the feedback here which also very important.

I'm sympathetic but this is an uphill battle unworthy of fighting, in my opinion. Canonicalization of "open source" (versus "OSI Approved Open Source") is overreach of a an organization suffering from declining relevance. OSI is not helping to move the needle on licensing, and has effectively caused the industry to become frozen in time with the same stagnating licenses we had 10-15+ years ago. There's no innovation here, and I'm just tired of this. Instead we have demonic machinations like the BSL growing in relevance because there's no better alternative. I'm just so sick of it.

If you asked any reasonable person what the opposite of "closed source" is, you're going to get a uniform answer from the vast majority or respondents, and a small, irritating answer from a small, increasingly irrelevant group group of folks. I understand the distinction that "source available" aspires to achieve, but it's such an unappetizing term of art that you may as well call it "I can't believe it's not open source".

Champagne, Chocolate, Open Source... they're all noble but doomed uphill battles in colloquialism. Everyone knows what you mean.

If you want to be correct, be truly pedantic, instead of shifting the ambiguity: French Champagne, Belgian Chocolate, OSI Approved License.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a diehard FOSS supporter, I sponsor and contribute, I encourage my employers to be good global citizens with respect to FOSS and have complied with licenses by releasing modifications under appropriate licenses. I even pay Drew DeVault money. But ultimately he and everyone else arguing to enshrine the term "open source" will couple the fate of their opinions to that of the OSI and at best, it will all be a footnote in the pages of history.

Will we be using the same OSI approved licenses in 10, 50, 100, 1000 years? Will the OSI permit term "open source" to be used to refer to something other than the current licenses?
> No amount of justification can uphold such federal zoning legislation.

Housing is interstate commerce, and the federal government has overruled local zoning rules in the past (satellite dishes in Chicago of all things). It appears to be quite legal, constitutional and precedented.

> Moving zoning responsibilities up the chain of command won't fix this, unless your plan is to send in the National Guard. We need to fix the broken relationship between state and city. I don't understand where federal government comes into this.

The ideal law would be similar to Japan's model: the federal government says housing is permitted in all zones and sets some consistent rules about what you can build and where. This framework would remove the silly arbitrary rules set up by councils to preclude reasonable land use in lieu of clear, consistent federal rules. Federal government sets the framework, municipalities execute.

Moved from an M2 Mac to using a Windows 10 Desktop beefcake PC and use VM Ware Linux Mint 22 cinammon install.

Yep, totally possible to get to an assistant professor/lecturer without a Ph.D, but they are not considered full-time faculty, will not qualify for tenure track (i.e. can theoretically get fired at any time, but realistically probably not), do not get top pick for courses/course slots (and might not be eligible to teach certain courses despite having the credentials to do so), and, at some schools, are not eligible for the same number of holidays as full-time faculty are.

It makes sense from within. The goal for a majority of Ph.D's is to become a professor at a four-year college and conduct research on government grants (or get tenured so that they can basically get paid to be retired). That can't happen if you have industry vets who can _actually teach these courses, and probably do a better job of it_ taking those spots. So you lock them out of those opportunities entirely and get TAs (for bigger core classes), adjuncts or staff/lecturers to teach everything else.
I legit wonder if it's not time for OpenBSD to switch to Java.

I mean, there's so much work to keep C safe and make sure memory is managed well, etc.

What the project needs is a virtual machine! Clearly they don't care about performance when security is on the line (they did disable multithreading, no?). A good virtual machine will be a small performance loss compared to dealing with this stuff... forever.

Of course, you still have to deal with user land binaries.
That’s a much different lens on the point you were making before. One could argue it’s an entirely different comment and, more importantly, that it yields an entire spectrum of conclusions that weren’t your original point. Before, you were saying “people don’t like AT&T because,” and a bunch of other pronouncements that made my triple-decade native eyebrow raise because they didn’t match my experiences, even squinting really hard. You’re also introducing ideas that are just completely wrong, like syntax having anything to do with the ld integration in gas (it doesn’t; read nearby).

Now you’re saying you were swayed by the idea that one shouldn’t use gas directly, which is an entirely different premise — and much more understandable.

You found a stack that worked for you to build APE. Those are your experiences. Pivoting those experiences to absolute observations about what is good or bad or elite is the error, here. And it’s ironic: you’re lamenting believing “the consensus” in your own journey while simultaneously influencing the consensus with conclusions that your available data didn’t earn. Passively responding to negative feedback toward positive replies suggests bad faith, too, so I’d ask if your contribution to the consensus is harmful, like those were that steered you another way.

I also bristle at a niche field having terms like “elite” used casually to influence people entering it, just like you were once upon a time, and I note you ignored that feedback in responding here. That’s also ironic because APE is challenging the idea of how native software is packaged and distributed, which itself requires outside the box thinking, and you’re using language and absolutist pronouncements to create a different box that has a right and wrong.

Your commentary here suggests to me that the loads of people waiting on you to change the world with APE might be waiting a while. That’s unfortunate and directly motivational.
Ok but WTF is PSA?

I abandoned Ubuntu several years ago. I'm finding Debian 11.5 (Bullseye) robust and reliable. Python is v3.9.2. which new enough for my purposes. You can of course, download and install v3.10 or v3.11 and configure pyenv.

I would love to use a Mac, but I'm wary of Apple's consumer oriented locking down of features. When I worked for some large corps, was issued with Windows laptops - compared to Debian it was a nightmare.
My baseless feeling is that the middle class that is present is not keeping up with inflation right now. Even those that bought a house say 10 years ago and got decent 'value'. I think salary growth is happening at the bottom. That's where the labor shortage is huge. People just won't work for $12/hr in my area like they did in 2019. They'd want $18 now. And you have to pay if you own a business that employees this income bracket of employee's. And, they're not happy about pretty much anything. r/antiwork is a place you see a lot of this sentiment.

People in the middle. They haven't quite received that 50% raise the so now they're effectively much closer to the bag boy at the grocery store purchasing power. Yes, it's pretty awful for society and just getting started. It is demotivating and my thought is it's probably a contributing factor to why productivity is down.
I think the fastest growing programming language deserves more attention, so I used one of the subheadings in the report.

Again not directly though and that is all that matters - I can reproduce the getty watermark in photoshop but that doesn’t make adobe liable. The fact that a tool is capable of copyright infringment does not shift the legal burden anywhere - it is totally beside the point. Technically photoshop’s ‘content aware fill’ could fill in missing regions with copywritten content purely by chance but the burden is still on me if I publish that content, not on adobe. Legally speaking these are tools just like any other algorithm or machine out there, their sophistication and particular method is not particularly relevant (again legally speaking).
Nim is far less complex, but isn't as popular. The community is working quite hard to change that though.
thanks! agreed.

browsers can still talk HTTP/0.9 and HTTP/1.0 (though they largely don't want to, for good reasons) and HTML still works! i loved (LOVED) the old Internet, but time has moved on.

that said, Hugo is amazing and I absolutely love it!

sidebar now that I'm on this soapbox. i think this is 100% the reason why iOS and macOS will never converge.

The desktop OS is a dying product. If everyone could do their work on their phones and tablets, they would. And that is happening now that iDevices are becoming significantly more capable and microsoft seems to be throwing less weight at moving Windows licenses.

alas, if this is true, it makes so much more sense to throw significant resources at making phones and tablets the best they can be instead of shoehorning a dying desktop experience into a mobile factor (something that's been tried way too many times before)
Historically I tend to look at the Passmark single-thread score, in order to compare apples to apples. Multithread scores obviously depend most heavily on the number of cores, and I don't have any apps that max out the core count on my existing rig.

For single-thread, the 3.6 GHz i7-12700k does 4061, where my 3.4 GHz i7-2600k does 1741. So the 2x threshold is met, but it's not a blowout. Raptor Lake is looking worthwhile, though, at 4700+ for i9-13900. At this point I'm mostly just hanging on to see what breaks first, the hardware or the ancient Win7 installation.
