Genuine question:

What could be a more logical thing to do than what he did?
What's interesting is that H2 + N2 -> NH3 reaction is thermodynamically favorable, so in theory with a good enough catalyst it can be driven at mild conditions.

And this has actually been achieved back in early 2000-s! But the catalysts are very finicky and they get poisoned too quickly for industrial use. Additionally, it'd be nice to be able to use water instead of hydrogen directly.

There are some interesting developments in this area, like this one: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34984-1 - they synthesized ammonia using visible light as an energy source.
The technique Neuralink is using to fail to deliver is a bold one where they make outrageous claims about what kind of problems they can solve with brain-computer interfaces.
Most people I know who contribute, or host open source projects, me included, do this for references. And the most successful ones find a way to generate revenue. "Giving back" is a nice additional thing, but I don't know anybody who does that _primarily_ to "help the world"

Thankfully that hasn't happened for me, yet. Or maybe that could be my own selection criteria - an active GitHub account should not be a prerequisite to get any type of computer job. If the hiring manager is serious about me, they can find the URL in my GitHub profile.

Why single out China? How does the average US VC behave? Is it cool when you call it "move fast and break things"?
Have to say, I agree with the author. It should be super easy for us to select "don't use my data" on anything we own - Github accounts, websites, anything that has our real identity attached to it. With 2FA our identities are attached to Github accounts. Further it should be equally as easy to check training data across all models to ensure our data is not included.

Glad to learn about SourceHut. I'll check it out.

And of course the organizers of chess tournaments also have status. Just as the people who can get things from the outside would have status in a prison.

I mean I'm sure I notice it at times. It is nice when others pay positive attention to what I post. Or in real life when people positively value my contributions.

> Maybe you just don't pay attention to conventional status markers.

That would be it. I think it's the "status hierarchy" that I don't pay attention to. My interpersonal status seeking and status noticing is not comparative. One person really valuing something from me is as good as 100. I notice when these hierarchies are pointed out, but I don't find value in them when they're pointed out. And credentialism pisses me off.

Huh, crashes on a clean system is VERY strange issue. Please just to be sure, check your power adapter, memory, and maybe logs. If possible. For me it looks like hardware issue. (I know, I know, it looks like I defending Windows. It really is.).

This has been discussed ad nauseum, trying to find objective truth to subjective device is a bit silly, isn't it?

Slightly higher resolution and brightness doesn't matter if you can't see anything because of Macbooks's glary screen. And of course, Macbook's trackpads can't hold a candle to Thinkpad's trackpoint.

The only objective truth here is that open software makes devices age better.
The vast majority of the code I've written that is on GitHub isn't on GitHub because I would ever have stooped to putting it there, but because it is open source under a license that lets other people redistribute and edit the code (most often GPL or AGPL; maybe some older code under BSD) and they have chosen to use GitHub (which makes me sad, but as far as I'd have been concerned is totally within their rights). Are you claiming that people should not be allowed to clone other peoples' open source projects and put copies up on GitHub?

Three main reason e-scooters and even bicycles take to the sidewalks, is that they are totally unsafe sharing the road with the cars, and that there's a lack of bicycle lanes.

> They don't impact the current legality of a license, but it will affect future ones.

Don't they? Even the most liberal licenses require that you at least keep the license and attributions. Which are exactly the parts that AI systems remove. I would have no problem with an AI system trained on GPL code if the output was still covered by the GPL.

> what is being voted on is unclear. Names/monickers are often misleading. The description text of bills can seem contradictory to the advertising about them.

Which is why direct democracy rarely works. And again, if someone is dissuaded from voting on the basis of how a bill sounds versus taking the time to learn what it is, I’m still chalking that up as a feature. Gerrymandering is a problem, but not an excuse for apathy—not every issue, local to national, is gerrymandered.
> I'm not aware of any Open Source license,or Free license for that matter,that has a give-back clause.

§5.c of the GPL Version 3 states explicitly:

> You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

As in, all modifications must be made available. Is that not meeting your definition of giving back? GPL (all variants) is one of the most widely distributed of the free software licenses and has an explicit "give back" clause as far as I can see it. -- and is part of why some people referred to GPL as a "cancer".

FWIW the issue I've come to have with copilot is that you're not explicitly permitted to use the suggestions for anything other than inspiration (as per their terms), there is no license given to use the code that is generated. You do so at your own risk.

First paragraph, I agree. This however, not:

> I would argue that belittling cultural preservation demonstrates deep Anglo-centric bias.

Counter point: I’m German. We currently have a lot of discussions about gender-fication of the German language. This has nothing to do with an Anglo-centric bias and still, we have exactly the same talking points.

On the one hand, it’s preserving language how it is spoken and written for the last 100 years, on the other hand, it’s about the biases in the language and how to overcome them.

Ask HN: Is ChatGPT (free) extra terrible this morning?
I'm trying to get ChatGPT to do the simplest of tasks this morning (e.g. give it an initial prompt of "I'll send you a series of unformatted lists, please format them in Markdown code blocks") and it's failing to do even the simplest of tasks, or forgetting context just a few messages later (e.g. responding to the previous prompt with, randomly, a list of its favorite books of 2023, not even in markdown format, or responding in random languages, or about three lists in randomly giving me facts about one of the list items).

Did OpenAI change something? If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd think they're purposefully nerfing the free version to entice people to upgrade, but that's just me. The service feels way less capable all of a sudden this morning.
Influencers showed that you can get paid just by having status.
I just want to make sure you appreciate that if you really believe this argument then GitHub can only be used by the people who actually directly own the copyright on projects; and if you, for example, want to clone and edit my software (the vast majority of which I explicitly never uploaded to GitHub) then you wouldn't be allowed to (which doesn't seem like either the intention or the way it is commonly used)... and like, it would essentially be impossible to use GitHub to work on an open source project that has some long storied history with many hundreds of contributors without going back and getting all of them to agree.

> Or keep editing some random xorg.conf file because his monitor's display suddenly became weird.

The truth is things like that are not as common as they used to be. Everything with Xorg is plug-n-play, input and video devices are greatly standardized, etc. Not to mention, if your machine boots into Wayland, there simply isn't an Xorg configuration to worry about.

That having been said, that was my experience when I was a kid, and I do not regret it at all. On the contrary, it was the perfect time to become proficient with Linux at a deeper level. Different strokes.
I think this is a time for people to realize that political satire has absolutely no influence whatsoever on the political regimes it aims to satirize. The amount of satire levied against Donald Trump, measured in tweets, art, comedy routines, scathing op-eds and every thought or public expression of ill will surpasses that of every other leader in human history by a large margin.

And all in all it had little to no effect. You can't topple a regime by laughing at it. There's a reason kings in the middle ages hired jesters to make fun of them.
No, I'm not implying that.
> Also from my experience of trying to leave GitHub, you just end up having a couple of projects on your alternative platform, and everything else on GitHub.

That's a defeatist attitude and a self-fulfilling prophecy at the same time. As more and more people leave GitHub (hopefully not to go to the same alternative), it becomes less and less of a must-have. The reason these things are somewhat true today is because of the network effect, and it's precisely that effect which we must actively attempt to squash by leaving.

Tinkering and fun means different things to different people. That's okay. Your idea of fun wasn't to fix the OS -- mine was.

I went to the library in '97 and borrowed the Linux Bible, with a CD-ROM copy of Yggdrasil Plug'n'Play Linux that I installed on my 486, and the new world that opened up to me of being able to modify, tune and customize the entire OS to my liking with no restrictions was magic.

Today, I work as a Linux sysadmin and I have fun at work. Other people of the same persuasion are the ones who maintain Linux distributions or contribute to the kernel today.

The point here is that if a kid finds it fun and creative to futz around with "fixing the OS" then let them -- not only is it its own reward, it might lead somewhere. Don't say "no, this isn't fun in my opinion and you shouldn't have to do it".
Is it possible to cut costs in an extream way to make sure you're burning 0 per month? it is okay to let growth slow down or perhaps you may even lose some percent of your current revenue.

I've installed Fedora on multiple ThinkPads and had no issues.

I had a problem with an Asus, but that's because of an Nvidia embedded GPU that wasn't even supported under Windows, so it's not like this was a Linux issue. Just get a machine that supports Linux, you wouldn't complain that you can't install MacOS on your Inspiron and even with all the hacks it doesn't work right, or that Windows is struggling to boot on your Playstation.
Totally agree. I’m in Portugal now and it’s even more shocking here. It’s €9 for a cheeseburger menu. Meanwhile I can get a menu meal at a local joint for €6.50. And it’s about the same size, much healthier and even had Coke Zero in a glass bottle not the garbage mix from McD. I don’t get it.
Meh, my latest laptops, which are your bog-standard HP enterprise models, both worked better when new under Linux than under Windows.

One of them, AMD-based, "only" had some issue with the USB hub to which the webcam and light sensor are connected. It otherwise worked OK. On the OOB Windows install which came with the PC from the factory, the backlight couldn't go up all the day and was a horribly dim affair. It was fixed around a year later. It would also randomly hang when waking up from sleep.

The second one, a full-Intel affair, was much more of a PITA. First off, the Windows installer didn't recognize the touchpad nor track point. It still doesn't, more than a year later! Then, once installed, there was some stupid issue with the display out via the HP dock. I'd have to do a ridiculous dance of plugging in the display via both HDMI and DP and unplugging and re-plugging the DP connector at just the right time. Then, almost a year later, Intel released a new driver that actually fixed it! But then, for a while, Windows Update wouldn't have any of that, and insisted on updating the driver to the older one with the bug. Good times.

Absolutely 0 issues under Linux since day one. The only "config file fiddling" I did was actually Xorg, but that's because I insisted on remapping CAPS to Hyper and using a mac-style US layout with the win and menu keys working as level 3 shift for easier French typing. How do you even do that under windows?

I live in Berlin and my main mode of transportation is the bike, since before e-scooters were a thing. Bikes are very popular here and I do not actually know a lot of people who live in the city and own a car.

E-scooter made life objectively harder for cyclists. They are abandoned in the middle of bike lanes and create danger, or in the spots were you could park your bike safely. They make every walking street worse, you are always bumping against them. And they seem to be mostly used by a young, well-off, highly entitled / inconsiderate demographic.

They do nothing to improve life in the city. They are a toy that makes life worse for almost everyone. I can't wait for them to be banned here also.
then that's a problem- not dissimilar to

Discontinuity here.
RHEL/CentOS is probably more likely to run into those kinds of problems on the desktop than some other, less conservative and less enterprisey distros.

RHEL (and its kin) is a stable server OS. Some organizations that have Linux-based desktops or laptops then also use it on those, perhaps for the sake of homogenisation. But the longer release cycle and conservative update policies that in part make it a stable and predictable server OS also mean that hardware support may lag by years.

This is always a topic on which people will have different experiences. Some people will have everything just working. That's perhaps most likely when the hardware has been chosen with compatibility in mind in the first place. In that case it can be pretty smooth sailing with little tweaking required and with things just working, especially compared to how it used to be, which is probably one reason why people react to claims of endless tweaking being required.

Other people will have hit a rough spot, and those certainly still exist particularly with non-specifically picked hardware, especially if that hardware is newer than the distro release.

CentOS is probably not representative of most people's experiences of running Linux on a desktop or laptop, though.
Say, governmental contracts can be very different from commercial sales.

Venture capital-backed companies used to often not care about operational profits, but about growth and market penetration, and the repay event was the moment when a large incumbent decided to buy the challenger startup. They do so to either add to their portfolio and acquire technology and talent, or even to quash the competitor which distracts their user base. Nevertheless, it's might be profitable to be bought and disbanded.

I suspect that sometimes profit is not even a motive (non-profit orgs, etc).
> What could be a more logical thing to do than what he did?

Not get involved. (See: OpenAI.)
The public transport is operated by the government. They consider no one should work on Saturdays so they don't run their services then. I think if using your private car was forbidden it would've been even crazier.

Trivial functions aren't copyrightable, so it doesn't matter whether they are GPL or not.
This is an issue only if your direct competitors have different strategies. And in my experience, they don't.

I think the general wisdom for anyone caring enough, is to go for a Brother laser printer (I personally went for Xerox but it's the same deal), and I'd posit they're not in direct competition with HP or EPSON:

- it requires ample prior research. You don't stumble upon a laser printer when going to a shopping mall and ask the staff for a printer for your kids homework.

- it requires having given up on many dreams in general and recognizing the bullshit of the whole industry. They are big and bulky, expensive, under marketed, your friends won't have them (or you're lucky), they're never on discount, and you're not a lawyer so you shouldn't be buying something named "WorkCenter 6515" instead of "ENVY Inspire all-in-one" to print school assignments. When I bought mine online I was asked my VAT number for the corporate tax paperwork and had to explain we're just some random family needing a reliable printer.

It's only after having seen the other side for so many years that you give up and buy a professional grade color laser printer if you expect to have to print more than 3 times a year at home.

I agree, I don't know where other people live or if they go out at all in a major city, but scooters ride dangerously fast on sidewalks, in parks, even on the road alongside cars.

I completely understand it's due to the lack of alternative riding infrastructure (ideally they would ride on bicycle lanes, but not everywhere is like The Netherlands), but you wouldn't ride a bike on a sidewalk, and riding on the road is very dangerous on these scooters.

So yeah they're either a menace to pedestriands because they don't drive safely on pedestrian areas, or they're a menace to cars because they're very unstable on the roads and put themselves in danger, least of all because most people who ride them don't really know road legislation.
