I think your assumption that everyone agreed on your definition in the first place is incorrect.

Words are fuzzy, most people don’t look at dictionaries, let alone OSI or FSF definitions. A word changing usage often just indicates the meaning was never as precise as you thought, the distinction just hadn’t yet mattered.
As another user pointed out, it can't correctly write accented vowels. Curiously, it writes them quite differently if I add spaces between them, like it was attempting to translate the appearance of characters rather than picking them from a ascii table.
Apart from being different jurisdictions, they are different issues. The situation in the article involved a pro se litigant feeding courtroom proceedings to the AI and regurgitating its responses in real time. In that situation you are effectively handing your agency over to the AI. You can't really be said to be representing yourself in any real sense; you are mindlessly parroting what is fed to you.

The situation you describe seems to be more akin to an advanced search or information portal that people can use to guide their self-representation, or even their decision to engage lawyers/discussions with their lawyers (of course, maybe I'm misunderstanding). That stuff has basically always been allowed; nobody is threatening to prosecute Google because pro se litigants use it in their research. There are plenty of websites out there that discuss tenants' rights. There are even template tenancy agreements available online for free.

Also, what were you proposing to use as the knowledge base for your Alexa lawyer? Were you really planning on using ChatGPT or some other general purpose AI? Or would the knowledge base be carefully curated by qualified professionals? And who would create and maintain it, the state? A regulated firm? Or a startup with a name like "DoNotPay"?

The reason I mentioned linux is because that is what runs on a Pi normally and hence that is what people tend to compare Ultibo to. In my opinion that is not a sensible comparison, so we probably agree there as you are comparing it to FreeRTOS.

This whole discussion is, I think, one of the reasons why Ultibo has failed to get any traction in terms of users, despite the clever stuff you can do with it (not the only reason though as audience reach is probably a bigger one). There are only just over 1,100 members on the forum, which is kinda sad considering the effort that must have gone into producing it and the length of time it has been around (about 7 years now I think).

Perhaps you are correct and they should have marketed it as an Embedded OS for Pi. It might have made more sense to people that way, rather than describing it as a bare metal development platform.

Whaaaa? I'm going to have to try this, thanks!
If I read this correctly this is a case of credential stuffing meaning the breach isn't really related to PayPal as much as people had credentials stolen other places and had used the same ones at PayPal. Maybe PayPal needs to enforce 2FA if they don't already do. 2FA SMS factor should be discontinued for any financial or otherwise important/sensitive service as SIM jacking is apparently quite easy.

But anyone with properly secured accounts seems to not have been affected by this breach.

Those numbers are native or second language. I bet the English numbers shoot way up vs Mandarin if you drop the bar to basic language skills or holding limited conversations.
I’m a member of the open source community, so “the” community isn’t telling them anything.

But, no, I’ve quite clearly stated you can argue they shouldn’t use that definition. But you cannot credibly say that their usage is wrong if they are successfully communicating with others using that definition.

The word will change usage, or it won’t, and neither of us will probably have any say over it.

>African governments owe three times more debt to Western banks, asset managers and oil traders than to China, and are charged double the interest rate.

>No-one is going to help you in this world. You have to help yourself. Certainly no-one helped China, for instance...

China's much criticized approach to governance cut off western theft almost completely.

Any African nation attempting the same has its elected leaders assassinated and replaced by western puppets willing to re-enslave the country using unservicable debt.

Wow, I didn't know this is a thing.

One of the good things about Java ecosystem is that casing and indentation are not really debated (apart from few minor corner cases) and basically everyone follows the standard.

I'm kind of fine with any reasonable coding standard, but I can't stand the debates. Endless bikeshedding.
Something like "if someone can't read English he is a bad engineer, if you write comments for bad engineers, you either are a bad engineer or a loser".

I've heard things like "we should grow up and use English".

They wanted to be an "elite" in contrast with russian-speaking "peasants".

The rational decision to use English was often motivated irrationally and was not about switching keyboard layouts. There were numerous discussions on the subject.

That is hard to analyze, I'm not a psychologist.
Only four states allow people to take the bar exam without earning a juris doctorate (J.D.) from law school. And three other states require some law school experience but do not require graduating with a J.D.

So in 43 states the answer is no. A chatbot never attended law school and doesn't have a J.D., so it can't take the exam. If it can't take the exam, it can't pass.

I suppose if you could get the chatbot permission to take the exam, a properly trained one could pass. But as I said in my post up a level, the issue isn't the AI chatbot. It's the rules.

As far as I know, WhatsApp is different and that's why you have to back up your messages when you move to a new device. Messages are primarily stored on the device and not on the cloud.

"Use it accordingly" is a good way to look at it, but requiring a higher level of protection and security is not a bad idea at all, in my opinion.
But nobody’s doing that? I think a bunch of people basically never agreed with you on the definition, it just never mattered much as the distinction didn’t matter yet. Most people don’t think much about how they use words, they just use them.

To use your example, it might be that murder evolved from meaning “a crime has been committed” to meaning a specific crime. Which, um, is exactly what happened.

When I was a teen I would have enthusiastically agreed with this but now I understand that it describes me too.
I agree with your sentiment, but I'd like to clarify the following, IMO:

> It's a different restriction.

AGPL doesn't impose restrictions. It provides guarantees (that modified versions will remain AGPL and therefore open source for everybody).

> AGPL lets you do anything as long as it is just as Free (as in freedom)

By the very definition of open source software, you can do pretty much what you want, for your own usage. If you want to distribute (e.g. provide a service) with a modified version, then you need to guarantee that modified version retains the right that the original version granted.
Roomba, SharkNinja, and the $3B battle of the robot vacuums
I didn't say I did travel without anything digital. My comment was a question about a degree of connectedness, not the existence of it.

On one hand you have your phone for solving some basic problems, on the other you have to be near reasonably reliable internet constantly, with backup devices and contingency plans for them.

That, I do occasionally find myaelf the opportunity to be completely without digital stuff, and find them quite relaxing.
I don't like that they're testing this out live.

Do what you'd have to do if this were say a medical device: hire a retired judge or two and set up double-blind fake trials with AI or human representation. Prove it works, then try it with real people.
That's actually a great idea: run enough relays yourself, so you can somehow conceal your identity, and somehow protect yourself from things like losing your (DNS) domain.

Apologies about WhatsApp, I don't use it that much and the information I have might be stale.

I would prefer being given the encryption keys of my content any time it is stored online. But since this is not a reality, not trusting these platform with sensitive data is best for the moment. If you just need to talk while playing they are fine.

And people (especially here on HN) really can't see why so many are invested in and believe in actual money?

Your shitcoins are being hoarded by incompetent people in giant, minimally secured exchanges not to provide you with a better service, but to make a very small number of people bucket loads of money.

They put in minimal viable effort to provide a minimal viable service and make money hand over fist without consequence when their incompetence result in your cryptocurrencies that you entrusted them with being rug-pulled.

Once that crypto is “compromised” it is free for the attacker to use for any reason, outside the ToS defined by the exchanges. They are not held accountable, there is a proven record of no oversight nor any accountability.

Do you really wonder why people are putting their faith and confidence in actually regulated currencies as opposed to these joke shitcoins?

No snark. I thought we were having a nice conversation.

> Do you think based on those words we should just be firing up balloons and see what happens?

> I’m not saying at some point in time with studies done...

How can we possibly gain enough scientific confidence is nobody is allowed to perform a single experiment (aka do X "and see what happens")?

This all sounds rational on the surface, but underneath it's a paralysis-inducing catch-22.

Asking endlessly for "more studies" is a classic delay tactic, with a long history of use (you surely don't intend that, but the effect is the same). Unfortunately we've run out of time for further delay.

Unpopular as it is to say, "move fast and break things" will lead to the least overall damage and death. But we'll
never be able to show it, because of paralysis by these curious Reverse Good Samaritan / Reverse Hippocratic Oath attitudes.

With this setup you can permanently host for next to nothing until you get users, do zero devops or ops, and have something that will scale up (wont be the fastest thing but it will be OK and will scale)

You could switch out NextJS for a static site generator too, but NextJS is pretty convenient and is a superset of a static site generator with everything wired

"one where only a very very few players have control over the technological environment, one where humanity has no say, no stake, no control"

Well, it's worth bearing in mind that what you call a standards based hypermedium is now completely unimplementable by anyone except Google, Apple and companies funded by Google. Insisting that everyone writes web apps doesn't mean software exists in some sort of communitarian utopia, it just means that it's the Chrome team that gets to decide how everything works. Like extensions for example, hence Manifest V3.

There's no really deep reason Flutter or other toolkits can't support more interesting and powerful hackability than what web extensions allow. Look at the JVM - it's not the web, but with tools like JVM agents, JMX, classloaders and so on you can extensively modify apps that run on it even without source code access. That's how the Minecraft mod scene developed and it's why you can so easily write plugins for IntelliJ. After all, web pages aren't actually designed to be modified by extensions. It's usually a giant hack. They come with megabytes of minified JS and attempts to modify them frequently break or require constant maintenance. That's why there are relatively few extensions that see actual usage outside of ad blockers, the cost to keep them going is just too high. And that in turn is partly because web apps usually don't have any kind of plugin architecture comparable to what desktop apps have often provided. At best they might have some sort of Google Docs like store, where the web app developer gets to pick and choose what integrations are allowed, but nothing as open as something like Photoshop plugins or Office OLE objects, where the end user got to install things the original developers had never even imagined.

So I reckon you're being kind of harsh here. HTML is hardly a technological utopia. Why shouldn't people try to do better? There's no reason progress and extension APIs have to be in tension.

Yandex was probably one of the best and the most innovative Russian companies, and attracted the best workforce. But it cooperated with Putin's regime long before the war. It censored opposition narratives in its search results and promoted pro-Putin content [1]. It continues to promote Russian propaganda even today (try any Ukraine-related search query in Russian). Now it's under the oversight of a Putin's man, Alekei Kudrin [2].

Sadly, Yandex is not a neutral company and is just another weapon in Putin's hands.

Show HN: Open-Source Roadmap App
There was a time when German was the language of science and widely studied in many countries. (Japanese has disproportionately many loanwords from German, for example).
"quite permissive" and "open source" are terms quite far apart.

Open Source software provides certain clear guarantees to the users of that software. Even small changes to these guarantees probably render the software not open source.

This is not pedantic rhetoric, there are clear reasons why open source software should be clearly told apart from proprietary (including source available): given the OSS guarantees, potential users of a given software may make usage / no usage decisions without further due diligence. If those guarantees are modified, due diligence and risk studies may be needed, specially for companies (what if we're not a competitor today but tomorrow we want to? what do you call competitor? etc).

Open Source exists for a reason, which is to provide a firm ground on those who are good with the guarantees it provides.

Please don't try to blur the line.
