Thank you for sharing this.

I have experienced this cycling without a helmet (as is my right) from aggressive motorists.

Now I have a term for the phenomenon!
But that's just it.

There is no expectation that I'll grab a random laptop off eBay and install MacOS, or install Windows on a Switch.

Then you have Windows users complaining that they have some random hardware that the manufacturer refuses to support Linux, and are shocked that it doesn't work perfectly out the box.
I hear so often from people who were "nearly" mown down, but barely ever from someone who was actually mown down
Looking back, Amelio had some decent ideas on how to get Apple back on track but he just didn't have that inspiration to get people excited over it all. Things like iMac, the 4 different system tiers, reducing the amount of research projects to a fraction of what they had were all done under his watch. Steve however kicked it into over drive and actually got people talking about Apple again.

Also didn't help that a 2 hour presentation by Amelio felt like weeks!
I abandoned github the day that they (and others, including people here) started arguing that their ToS trumps your code's license. That's absurd. It's authoritarian, it's hostile, it's an act of enmity. Fuck all that bullshit. I do business with no entity, period, that treats me with that level of disdain.
Thank God. They were/are horrible in Berlin.
Thanks that's a great idea. I've got plans for an API in the works so that 3rd party integrations and clients can access the BBS (mine or yours)

Not everyone was out to become a computer scientist when microcomputers booted to BASIC, but I don't find many people regretting their time growing up with those computers.

I will give you that Linux is needlessly complex due to undesirable issues, but that's the price of admission for a highly hackable system, since there are no serious alternatives. As for kids, I wouldn't underestimate them. If what you want to give someone is a rich and deep experience with computers, it's about all you have right now.

On the other hand, and I'm sure this part of my comment will go over swimmingly here, but I imagine... if you start kids out with iPads, what they learn is not that doing interesting things with their computers is challenging, but that it costs a monthly fee.
Modifications you distribute have to be given back. You don't have to distribute the modifications though.
The only reason Putin is not off limit is because Russia's GDP is smaller than Canada's GDP.
That lacks a "theoretically", then? If an algorithm is optimal but still out-performed by something that is not, then the definition of "optimal" is not so helpful and might need revision.

I do not follow the computer science development at all, but I guess people are working on ways of modelling caching as that becomes (as you point out) harder and harder to ignore. Not memory accesses cost the same.
We were not meant to go more than 3 mph and live in tiny 300 person communities. The sooner we ban ALL these dangerous non-walking forms of transportation (and stop the insanity that is mobility scooters being able to go over 5mph!) the better.

Nadella clearly doesn't care. Windows is down to about 12% of their revenue and is probably shrinking, presumably it'd be a lot lower still without the ads and upsells. It reports into the office team! People care about where the growth is: Azure grows, Windows shrinks, and so Nadella moves Microsoft's best people over to the cloud.

Unfortunately it's also pretty clear that the windows team is bored, visionless and drowning in tech debt. At work we ship software to Windows and it's astounding how buggy their API is, the horrific nature of the bugs and how slowly they get fixed (or never). You get the feeling it's a retirement home atmosphere for developers over there where little gets done and nobody notices.

Nadella could probably turn things around if he wanted but the plague affects Apple too, just less severely. Desktops were once the frontier and a growing business, heavily fought over, then it became mobile, then AI. People don't believe there's any juice left to squeeze in revisiting better desktop tech. Google developed three operating systems: one never made it to desktop machines even though it could have done, one was simply chrome and nothing else, and one got stuck being permanently experimental. None of them contained much in the way of new ideas except Android

But this is a pity. Desktops are where work gets done, where new tech is developed. They should get more investment than they do.
Ok, and whoever is caught with one of those will disappear, and so will all their family/friends. Are you willing to risk your life for information? Proxies that bypass the great firewall already exist, but most people avoid them because they're not worth the risk
People with windows 3.1 bought windows 95 in a store in exchange for dollars. People with Windows 10 get version 11 in exchange for an eternity of advertising.
People is so melodramatic. Yes this is the future, yes AI is scary, but this is it. Whether you like it or not, technology and life can continue without you. We could very well be living in what Intelligence from another era lead to and it is happening all over again. Life is short, enjoy the ride.
Yeah on the one hand, isn't opening your source all about not really minding what happens to it after that? It's intended to be copied and used. On the other hand something about the term "laundering" kind of resonated for me. It's kind of like automated plagiarism where you spread your copying out over millions of people. But plagiarism only has meaning as an offense when the thing being copied isn't intended to be copied. But for copyright purposes is there a difference between copying exactly, and the type of blending a LLM does? I'm too confused. That feeling when you hit on something society has never thought about before.
English won because it was the language of the winners. Like Spanish, Russian, French, Portuguese and others won regionally along the History. So it’s not a matter of the language itself even if it certainly helped being a simple language.
You suffer from extreme black and white thinking. There can either be full democracy or no democracy, right? In reality there are blemishes, deficits in a democracy. Some are quite minor, like an extremely well educated 15 year old not being allowed to vote.

More serious: foreign nationals who live in the same country aren't allowed to vote despite paying taxes and being subject to the laws. More serious still: Minorities and in general "Democratic" voters are kept from turning out by discriminative voter suppresion. That's a deficit on democracy. Or when you incarcerate a ton of people, especially with racial preference. Or when you take away bodily autonomy from women with a ban on abortion, when men cant get pregnant and have more ways to extricate themselves of those consequences. Black and white thinking is not the way
I was very much of the same opinion until the start of the year when I went back to Linux (Manjaro this time, Kubuntu last time) for the precise reasons listed in the article.

Manjaro has caused me no more (and in some respects less) issues than Windows did. The biggest issue for me is finding equivalent software from what I had on Windows. In almost all cases, I've been successful.

Gaming is great so far. Same games.

> experts all over the internet are very condescending in general.

This is a dissapointing generalisation and not my experience. I've had nothing but support and help with any questions I have asked recently.

The Linux ecosystem is a different beast now and one I'd recommend to most people. It's not going to work for everybody but if your user case is not special, chances are you'll have a better time than the current Windows.
While this may be true in a general sense in that most companies have bylaws that does not set out another purpose, and that in theory shareholders could go after a board, and so indirectly a CEO, that does not seek to maximise profit, this is overly simplistic.

The CEO is beholden to the directions of the board. The board has wide latitude to act within the rather wide remit of acting within the best interests of the shareholders (as a group, not individual shareholders). It's generally difficult to go after a board for setting direction that does not outright maximise profit other than by simply voting them out as long as there's some reasoning to justify why it is beneficial to the mission of the company to do something. That might e.g. be to ensure the reputation of the company.

So as long as the CEO acts within what the board wants of them, and as long as the board maintains the trust of a majority of shareholders and aren't outright and blatantly violating the corporate bylaws (which can also specify other priorities than just profit), they can - and often do - decide that other things than profit matters.

As such, blaming the CEO in isolation may not be justified. Maybe the board made him. But the company certainly has principles in the form of its bylaws and the AGM and boards interpretation of them. The just might not be nice ones.

This is the exact opposite of what we need. We need to merge on languages, not stay stubbornly divided.
As long as western companies can’t do unrestricted business in China, neither should Chinese companies be able here. The earlier we break the toxic relationship, the better.

But yeah, money over everything.
I have a 2016 MBP 15 that is struggling with anything other than browsing. It cost $2800 new (luckily bought by my employer). I also bought an Asus ultrabook in the same year (2016) for under $700 for my wife and it's still going strong (neither it nor the mac's batteries last as much as they used to, but otherwise no issues).

In my experience, I pay less upfront for a Windows machine and get to enjoy it just as much (if not longer).
> It looks like Starlink has 7 GHz total downlink bandwidth from satellite to customers.

I think you meant 7 Gbps; that only works if the satellite itself has that much inbound, which may not be the case if the satellites around (for sat-to-sat links) it or the base station that it sees are maxed out.
None of those have been a thing for 20 years.

Linux just works, straight out of the box, with pretty much any sane hardware.

Have you ever tried to get anything as outré as a USB keyboard, or USB memory stick, or heaven help you, a USB serial port working in Windows?
They are emotionally driven, but that is not all there is too it. They are also driven by an insight, that most people/organisations do not give back to the community, unless obligated to do so. It is about advancement of society and goods everyone can use, if only they give back to society, when it is their turn to share.

This is exactly what code laundering ANNs circumvent and that might open up a dystopian future for all of us, not only us code monkeys, but society in general.

I don't dislike Rust, I'm trying to understand the blind upvotes that seem to regularly happen. You don't see "with $OTHERLANGUAGE" in the majority of post titles.

RE my posts, I'm old. I ask questions, I challenge things I think are wrong. I also praise. This is normal interaction, rather than blind cargo cult following.

Please substantiate this claim. Thank you.
FWIW, that's great for your intentions with "open source code", but some people--like myself--in fact explicitly placed licenses on our code (and additionally did not even upload it to GitHub ourselves: our code is open source and of course anyone can edit it in public and redistribute it) that add "discriminatory" clauses as we aren't merely being purely altruistic: we are attempting to help provide code as ammunition in a war against developers who would attempt to lock users out of control over their own technology.

When you put your code under GPL (as I explicitly and actively chose to; or to put your content under something like the Creative Commons ShareAlike license, which I've explicitly used for many photos I've distributed over the years) you are purposefully choosing to help only those people who are willing to agree to the same level of open-ness in their products. And, as a reader, you know that if you read my code and "learn" from it, you are tainting yourself in a way that might make it difficult to later defend yourself from claims I might make.

To the extent to which it is legal for Copilot to train a model off my code as it might be fair use as some kind of transformative work, I want to be clear that I do not at all believe it is legal for someone to USE Copilot to write software that might be similar to my software... at least without having their lawyers carefully vet the resulting code it generates to determine that none of the expressive intent of my code has managed to leak through Copilot's attempt to launder my code as the user attempts to "autocomplete" something similar.
I don't understand how it is not control flow.

I think they are always an artifact of imperative programming bleeding into a declarative framework.

In a fully declarative fashion, you would just have:

c where c is imperatively defined as being a or b depending on a condition/state.

A declarative if statement doesn't make sense.

There was never a technical hurdle to this problem where a super-intelligent AI is what we need.
They get to die in the mines trying to extract all the resources I need to build batteries?
I like sourcehut, I'm just not a fan of email oriented collaboration workflow, so I dont use it. And the rest of the world isn't either, if the success of github is anything to go by. I get that Drew likes it, the greybeards are used to it, it works, it's adequate, and it keeps things simple, but I just never could do it. I don't like git either tbh, I grumble while I use it. IMO the perfect collaboration suite would be something like fossil with RSS feeds for every action.
Do we know if CoPilot X was trained on AGPL, not just GPL?

Additionally I'm not sure if AGPL does anything.

I suspect the ethics and such of licensing when large fractions of work are training AI and using AI need to be worked out rather than getting mad at any individual.

What does copy left look like for AI?
wym "have their way with it"? I run both as my primary browser and AV, turned off all telemetry, any adware type service (News in Edge, Automatic Sample Submission in Defender), and they run alright. Not ideal of course, but what is?
So energy prices increasing by 300%, eating away profits, on top of record inflation is proof that the whole business is inefficient? Lol, no. Even if a financial shockwave told you anything about the efficiency of green houses (it does not) you can’t base your argument on a war induced fluke.
I can recommend Power Toys, which has a way better and faster search experience.
Well, it IS forbidden, no? Just not banned by the government.
You are correct that this is one of the limitations of Sandbox today, and we are aware of the feedback on this.
I believe you should be able to install other anti virus software, but at least today unfortunately Defender isn’t part of Sandbox.
That gives me demo scene vibes. Nice!
The QR code is usually just for easier use, you can also unlock them in the apps via selecting the vehicles on the map.
Starlink has more than enough customers picking up rural users. Urban is not their primary (or secondary) use case.
> Although it was supposed to be, PowerPC wasn’t the leap forward that the M1 was

Just as with M1, it depends on your workload.

For instance, in the old school PBS show, The Computer Chronicles, they mention a prepress shop using the first PowerPC Macs that saw one of their workflows go from hours to minutes.

Ask HN: How not to let chat GPT process my work
Open Ai and Chat GPT uses texts and data that are available in the internet. However, not everything that is publicly available is under a free licence and should/can be processed. How can I prevent my texts from being processed?
Perhaps because you don't have a disability or a stroller with a young child so that you can comfortably and effortlessly avoid them...
I actually miss that kind of ads because you would get some brilliantly creative ones. These days, the barrier to entry into the ad space is so low that ads became dumb and garish.
Comcast is over $120/mo in California.
IMO the transaction rate is too low because the gas fees are crazy high. This is why we need actual proof-of-stake (not ETH 2.0). EOS is the first project to try an tackle this. From what I can tell, it scaled. Transactions remained fractions of a cent. EOS got caught in morality of consensus (e.g., under what conditions to reverse, how to handle disputes). However, it looks like AI can improve on this which is both terrifying and exciting.

Irrevocable disruption to the US could simply be enough countries move off the US dollar. To do that a new currency would be created/adopted. BTC serves as proof-of-concept that value is driven by sustained adoption and trade. Further, the level of sustained attacks crypto has undergone from countries such as US and China reflect the disruption crypto, as a decentralized security, has on the world economy. All this to say, it's quite possible.
Well upthread the discussion changed to using a non-open license that prevents people from training AI on it. If you released software under such a license, someone re-uploading to Github would probably be violating their terms or yours. Regardless, Microsoft would probably remove the repo if you contacted them to let them know you're the copyright holder, and the software license is incompatible with their terms.

It remains to be seen if they have a way to then clean their training data of the influence.

It would be the same situation if someone uploaded any other proprietary code.
The king is alive is also good.
Would also be interesting for Obsidian
Even if usage is legal right now, the other obligations of the license need to be adhered to as well. Can't just pick or choose one tiny aspect of FSF philosophy and run with that. AGPL is clearly about sharing and spreading free/libre software as well.
You have to reduce the value of noise. I got similar results with a noise level below .4
Except it confidently makes up new data. Hallucinations are going to be a bigger problem than we expect, because they are so hard to spot unless you already know the answer.
Ah yes, good point: plenty of the people that fork projects do not actually have the copyright to that code to begin with, they just use github while they themselves are in compliance with the license, that definitely does not give GitHub rights that they would have otherwise to negotiate with the original copyright holders. 'Open source' does not equate 'public domain' and GitHub effectively seems to try to make that claim.
You can configure this behavior via wsb configuration files as mentioned in other comments on this thread.

Compared to competitors, starlink is dirt cheap. Hughes has roughly 500ms ping times, and severe data caps, and was roughly that price.
Thanks everyone for checking out the BBS :) A few hours in now and I've met so many of you. I was not prepared for how positive and appreciative everyone was! It was great heading down memory lane with you all. Even the small amount of criticisms made were actually great advice.

From your suggestions I've come up with a short unsorted list of things I should make for us that we need. I'm going to get a nap in to think about their implementations and I'll have something to push up shortly, likely tomorrow night Monday PM

from the list:

- /exit, /quit and /? :) if you've seen chat you get it

- public api for integrations (nostr, matrix, 3rd party clients)

- TUI for buffering chat input vs output, put chat in a separate window

- comprehensive documentation for usage

- /name for username changes

- pass the socket to the next upgrade binary to upgrade the server without kicking everyone, maybe make a proxy instead.

Again, thanks to you all that I got to meet tonight, I'm thankful to share this experience with you.
7GHz is correct; 2GHz of X band and 5GHz of Ka/V band for downlink to subscribers. Multiply by spectral efficiency-- perhaps 5 bits/Hz.

> which may not be the case if the satellites around (for sat-to-sat links)

No real sat-to-sat links yet. The exact specifications aren't disclosed, but they'll likely be 100gbps symmetric links.

> the base station that it sees are maxed out.

You can expect spectral efficiency for the uplinks to be better because of big antennas, and for them to be provisioned with no problem illuminating all the satellites overhead.
It's probably because EbixCash isn't set up to handle remmitances by non-residents. Using a bank where you have an NRO account should allow you to remit upto 1 million USD.
> how it is spoken and written for the last 100 years

make it more like 1 thousand years.

The point is culture and language evolve naturally and organically, so the language is not biased, people are. Discussing on how to remove biased from a language is the same think as to say "someone wants to put their biases in". It's true that it is happening, in the richest western countries only though, it is also true that it is because the Anglo-centric bias is predominant in the west when it's about social networks and influence on younger generations.

In China kids are restricted from using social networks and consequentially are not exposed to "content creators" that are just trying to ride the indignation wave to profit. it is also a well know fact that Chinese kids test scores on average are much better than the average western kids ones. this is another bias we are importing from Anglo-centric World, that we aren't discussing enough.

> This post is screaming out for Linux. Linux is the solution to his dilemma.

I'm not sure about that. Ubuntu at least is being slowly turned into adware. Apt already shows advertisements, the snap store is being expanded and promoted — and yes, these are small changes for now, but that's exactly how Windows started changing as well. Change like this happens, as the saying goes "gradually, and then suddenly".

Sad fact is that while we accept being treated as "consumers", we will be "consumers" and we will be fed crap that the advertising/marketing team wishes to feed us this week.
