Using GPLv2-only licensing to prevent a GPLv3 project from taking our code while disallowing us from using their code (since we can't use GPLv3) is hardly anti-FOSS. GrapheneOS can't use GPLv3 for Vanadium because it's incompatible with the WebView being loaded into other applications and GPLv3 has restrictions which would result in GrapheneOS being less free, by disallowing valid usage of GrapheneOS to make devices with an immutable root of trust. We want GrapheneOS to be friendly to people making downstream projects/products based on it and therefore stick to permissive licenses and GPLv2.

GPLv2 is an open source license. We continued allowing them to take our code and continued contributing to their project ourselves despite the general inability to use Bromite's code. We already didn't find the situation to be fair. There are also issues with proper attribution not being given for our code and the downplaying of the impact of our contributions. For example, a contributor to Vanadium wrote a new ad-blocking implementation which was adopted by Bromite before it was ready for Vanadium, which led to a negative impact on development of the feature for Vanadium. Almost no credit is given for the stuff submitted by GrapheneOS project members / contributors to Bromite. It's actively downplayed.

Bromite began working with people involved in a severe misinformation and harassment campaign directed at GrapheneOS developers. Combined with the inability to use their code due to GPLv3, we chose to change our licensing. This was done in advance of substantial work that's going to be done on Vanadium. Having our code taking by a project not giving us proper credit and not allowing us to use their work in return was having an actively negative effect on Vanadium development.

Personally, I think engaging in spreading misinformation about open source projects across platforms including via sockpuppet accounts like this one along with harassment and libel targeting our project members is extremely anti-open-source. GrapheneOS does not spread misinformation about other projects this way, and we don't tolerate our community members doing it either, and similarly don't tolerate them engaging in harassment or libel.
I've designed my own private CDN and unless you have edges near each geo, you're not getting that kind of latency. And even after TLS negotiation you have no idea what the MSS on a link along the way will be causing fragmentation and retransmits. I've made do with some shenanigans with Noise and pre shared certs and have tried to make payload sizes as small as possible.
Separately from this, it's a misconception that CalyxOS and GrapheneOS are similar projects or that they're working on similar things. They are not. GrapheneOS is a hardened OS with substantial privacy and security improvements:

https://grapheneos.org/features

CalyxOS is not a hardened OS. It substantially reduces security. It recently went 2 months not shipping standard security patches.

Compatibility with Android apps on GrapheneOS is also much different. GrapheneOS provides our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer:

https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Can run the vast majority of Play Store apps on GrapheneOS, but not CalyxOS with the problematic microG approach.

https://blog.privacyguides.org/2022/04/21/grapheneos-or-caly... is a 3rd party article explaining some of the substantial differences between GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. It's a common misconception that they're similar. CalyxOS is far more similar to LineageOS than GrapheneOS. There are many other alternate OSes available.

because we are in post computer science times.

personal identity > mental capabilities

personal branding > collective growth

physical traits > work ethics

so it's funny to me that they are still called "communities" but everyone has its own strong individual identity and you have to respect it (meaning you need to aknowledge it) while talking about something completely different.

It's like going to the gas station and instead of asking "how much" for the gas you start a conversation like "I am bald. Do you like bald people? Is this gas station aware of bald people existence? Do you recognize us as people? Do you stand by our side or not?" review "Did not speak my language. Not bald. Probably racist. Won't come again."

I started as a Canadian Dev, and never for a second seriously considered moving to the US.

I've been approached a few times over the years, but I just couldn't sign on to their system of government. It's always rubbed me the wrong way.

I did take a job in Australia about 10 years back and I've been happy with the move, for the most part.
It's not only about what opportunities exist. There are always opportunities. It's also about what skills, positioning, and resources (human, financial, time) you have. When you find the intersection between an opportunity and those three things, then you have a chance. For the record I haven't yet found an opportunity that I could exploit beyond quite mild successes, but I've tried and always lacked one of the above.

Show HN: I made a website to help raise funds for disaster in Turkey
Hello HN, as you may know Turkey was devastated by two major earthquakes. Earthquakes affected more than 10 cities and more than 13 million people. Along with the cold weather, unfortunately people started to suffer.

I know that raising awareness here can really help people in need in my country, so I developed a small website to support fundraising by adding donation widgets to your website.
I agree that YT isnt what it was, but the Turkish earthquake is not a good example for turkish videos since Erdogan had said they were monitoring social media following the earthquake

> In particular it takes several months for these previously blind children to learn to distinguish faces from non faces. I recall a pop science article which I can't find the source for now that explained that people with newly acquired sight struggle to predict the border of non moving objects, though they can typically accurately predict border of moving objects and over time they learn to predict for stationary.

We already know all of this from infants - it takes a few months to distinguish faces from non-faces, they take even longer to predict the future position of an object in motion ...

But, they still don't require millions of training data. At 3 months in toddlers, with a training set restricted to only their immediate family, can reliably differentiate between faces and tables in different light, with different expressions/positions without needing to first process millions of faces, tables and other objects.

> So yes after a lifetime of video humans can quickly learn to distinquish animals they've never seen before with a few examples,

Not a lifetime, toddlers do this with less than half a dozen images. Sometimes even less if it's a toy.

> And compounding this is that a newborn while not having themselves experienced anything is born with a brain that's the result of millions of years of evolution filled with lifetimes of experience.

Not, they are not filled with "experience". They are filled with a set of characteristics that were shaped by the environment over maybe millions of generations. There's literally zero experience, all there is in that brain, is instincts, not knowledge.

To learn to speak and understand English at the level of a three year old[1] requires training data: the data used by a 3yo baby is miniscule, almost a rounding error, compared to the data used to train any current network.

I'm not making any claims about how long something takes, just how much training data is needed.

I'm specifically addressing the assertion that with 100x more resources, we could do much better, and my counterpoint to that assertion is that there is no indication that 100x more resources are needed because the current tech is taking millions of times more training data than toddlers do, to recognise facts.

My short counterargument is: "We are already using millions of times more resources than humans to get a worse result, why would using 100x more resources than we are currently using make a big difference?"

I think we may be approaching a local maxima with current techniques.

[1] I've got a three year old, and I'm constantly amazed each time I see a performance of (for example) ChatGPT and realise that for each word[2] heard by my 3yo since birth, ChatGPT "heard" a few hundred thousand more words, and yet if a 3yo could talk and knows the facts that I ask about, they'd easily be able to keep a sensible conversation going that would be very similar to ChatGPT.

I still take those newer frameworks with a big grain of salt, but tbh, that's because of ignorance on the one hand, and fear of sunk cost on the other (e.g. spending time to invest in acquiring knowledge only for it to go obsolete).

Angular is still used in a surprising number of large companies my employer works for, so that, and React, and Vue are all solid investments IMO.

The other ones I think will only be used if one developer dares to take and sell the risk.

Now you made me think for solid 15 mins. What is an open source Intel? Intel has two or three large categories, depending on how you look at it. First the manufacturing arm, that is the trickiest to pin. Open source manufacturing doesn't really make sense, but we do have some fabs and initiatives which have an open PDK[1] and provide technology as a service. I think that is the closest you are going to get.

Then we have their chip architecture, I think RISC-V at least gives us an open ISA but I am not aware of fully open implementations. Then there is the various software Intel provides, everything from drivers to MKL. There are some open source versions of them here and there.

So can we have an open source Intel? Yes, but not in this world. Mostly because they do physical things. And I think that loops us back to CDNs because thats the point with them too.

In EU 50% of people are living in apartments. With push on walkable cities this number will grow. So charging at home won't happen for most, it will be niche feature for rich few who has their own house with its own driveway.

I live in Tokyo. People generally ride bikes on the sidewalks, unless they're riding on the really narrow side roads that have virtually no car traffic. The big roads do have painted bike lanes, but you don't see them used much, definitely not by the mothers riding mamachari; they're all on the sidewalks almost hitting pedestrians. Also, things are really different in different parts of the city. Some parts are newer with much wider sidewalks (and even dedicated bike lanes separate from the road), other parts are not. Some parts are just terrible for cycling, because there's too many pedestrians and the roads are hazardous (like Shinjuku).

The place would be a lot better for cycling if they installed more dedicated infrastructure, but it works as-is for many reasons: there aren't that many cars in most places, because parking is rare and expensive, vehicle speeds are rather low, motorized vehicles have most of the liability for accidents with pedestrians or cars (no matter what: if a kid runs out in front of you and you kill him, it's your fault), theft is very rare, and people are extremely non-confrontational so even though many pedestrians hate sharing the sidewalks with cyclists, they just put up with it. Back in the US, I had people screaming at me and trying to start physical fights with me when I rode on sidewalks and there was no one else on the sidewalk except them. Here, people just step aside. Another thing here: cyclists are legally required to carry liability insurance, in case they hit a pedestrian.

Anyway, you're not going to replicate Tokyo's success with cycling by simply copying one feature. The whole culture here makes it workable despite the lack of great cycling infrastructure, as well as many other things that are basically impossible elsewhere.

Finally, while the infrastructure could be better in many places, things are constantly improving; newer developments (housing, malls, Olympic sports venues, etc.) have bicycle parking as a standard feature, for instance.
World Remit kicked me out and canceled my transaction because I didn’t realize soon enough that Ally Bank now requires me to reply with yes to a text message every time I make a big transaction with my debit card.

It is difficult to comprehend the rationale behind the decision to abandon a longstanding and well-known brand name that has endured for over two decades, and replace it with the rather awkward and unappealing moniker of "Connected Cloud."

No, Akamai wants to sell enterprise users at enterprise prices. They would prefer you stop using them if it's anything less.

If anyone has tried to use Akamai for anything without an impressive budget behind them I imagine they can confirm this theory.

I don't think I have aphantasia myself, but what you say makes sense to me and describes my experience.

We might never know the answer, but for all we know, what you describe here might be what others call a "mental image", and maybe aphantasia is just a huge misunderstanding because the language we use to describe it makes it sound like it should be something more vivid that it really is.

Or maybe I also have aphantasia myself and I'm just finding out now.

Capitalism is the most successful system we’ve tried.

Or, at least, of those that we can remember we’ve tried—- where our memory consists strictly of… the set of written artifacts that have survived all the way until today. Subject to interpretation, and with a built-in bias for the more recent.

What percent of all human organizational structures in history exists in that memory? How many exist in dig sites buried beneath the oceans, where the coastlines once stood? How many were written down on something temporary, such as, say, paper, and were destroyed before we could read them?

I think this is why people feel strongly that there could be a better approach. We haven’t explored much of the space at all. Though any unexplored option would be very risky to try at scale, of course, and perhaps there lies the rub.
This is a very western idea. I've spent significant amounts of time in other countries and there's no such sensitivity for "the outsider" like there is in European countries or the wider Anglosphere.

"M. R. D. Foot argues that blackouts did not impair navigation by bombers because navigators focused more on reflective bodies of water, railroad tracks, or large highways.[13]"

This is about as close as you will get to the truth.

which backs up the claim that pilots used waterbodies to navigate. When people found out, many filled them automatically just like some people knocked out street lights. There own paranoia was used against them, just like we see with migrants in hotels today, or paedophiles in the neighbourhood.

> Instead it is that training AI in this data, is fully legally, with or without your permission.

> Fair use allows you to ignore the wishes of the original copyright holder.

I keep seeing this sentiment repeated again and again. Wrong facts travel faster than right ones, it seems.

"Fair use" is a legal term allowing certain exemptions to copyright enforcement, which recognised in many jurisdictions, and also recognised across jurisdictions via WIP treaties, or other reciprocal recognition.

There is no fair use exemption that I am aware of that specifically recognises "learning" or "training" as a fair use exemption.

Everyone who makes the statement you did, when asked for a citation, throws out some court case which made exemptions for reverse-engineering. They didn't call it fair use. The situation was "let's learn how this works so we can fix it/clone it". THIS situation is not "lets learn how this works", it's "lets train an entity with this".

Do you have a citation[1] for that assertion that fair use exemptions apply in the case of learning or training?

[1] I know you don't. I'm going to ask anyway.
