Try doing some useful work after installing the Linux kernel – and just the kernel – on a device.

You can't. You need more than just a kernel, quite a bit more, and that's an operating system. "GNU plus Linux" or whatever you want to call it, or Android, or whatever. In that sense Stallman is correct that "the Linux kernel is just one piece of the operating system" (although his insistence on GNU/Linux is still rather wrongheaded IMO, but I don't feel like repeating that discussion).

I always wondered how an AI tutor could be "the great equalizer" for teaching kids from all socioeconomic backgrounds (and international students too). It's impossible for a classroom of 20-30 students to get 1:1 attention from a teacher.

If that's your main concern you'd be better off with a "degoogled" OS on an Android phone with an unlocked bootloader. iOS is locked down and you can't really see or control what information is being sent.

Here are some other reasons why you or other people might choose Android phones:

- Generally cheaper/better value, especially on the low end

- Less locked down (e.g. you can actually choose what browser engine you want to use, or sideload apps relatively easily)

- More options to choose from

- The core OS is FOSS

If you like iPhones that's fine but it's not true that there's literally no reason for anyone to get an Android phone
On apple's website, that's about $25 per an airtag and unless they got a deal, this is $12,500 in funds or free assets from Apple to do promotion. Skating close to corruption.
It's been interesting to watch the web landscape change over the last 8 years. Back in 205 when I joined Google's Web DevRel team, I worked with Chrome security engineers to create a persuasion article [1] about why all sites should be encrypted with HTTPS. The fact that they felt the need to create that page at all indicates that HTTPS was not that common. In 8 years the ecosystem has got to a place where HTTPS is so common that we don't even need UI for it anymore.

Same here. Considering switching my project (or at least part of it) to Python. For anything to do with LLMs or ML in general Python has by far the best libraries. JS is probably second, at least for LLM stuff, but it is a distant second place...
but the word brutalism is just too delicious to let the architects have it for a style they've moved on from based on a building material that's so specific to buildings. It's like modernism, there's always a new modern.

and I'm not joking, I think the word brutalist is so attractive to people that it begs to be recolonized regardless of the narrow context in which it once thrived.
Having followed this space for ~30+ years, I've yet to see any research that shows more than marginal and subjective effects at any kind of scale. Including in meta-studies. Sure, some people can struggle with addiction to porn, just as they can to chocolate and almost anything else. We don't respond with age verification to the vast majority of those other things.

> Osamah Qatanani, a 23-year-old content strategist in New York City, carries both an iPhone and a basic flip phone and estimates his usage is split 50-50. He views his “dumb” phone purely as a means for his closest contacts to reach him.

Mr. Qatanani, who already had an AT&T account for his iPhone, visited an AT&T store to add a $60 Alcatel Smartflip phone and its new line to his existing plan. He pays $30 a month for unlimited calls and texts, plus $1 toward the cost of the phone.

Sounds logistically complicated — he has two phones, two phone numbers, and has to pay more for it? That means texting conversations with friends are in multiple threads, which would be a PITA for all involved.

I can't imagine paying $30/mo (more than I pay for my iPhone's 2GB plan) for the privilege of adding a dumb phone.

You're only billed for active replica time. Call comes in, we start a replica, it handles the request, it waits around for a 10s (configurable) idle timeout to handle any additional calls, and shuts down if no other calls to serve. The idle timeout is to prevent cold boots when not necessary, but is billed, so you can get closer to pure pay-per-call pricing by reducing idle timeout.
Python is deeply incompatible with this style. No do-notation, crippled lambdas, slow function calls. If you want to write Rust/OCaml maybe use Rust or OCaml?
Who are you to decide what people do and don't want to do with their spare time? Some people don't achieve any satisfaction from making their own things; they just see it as a chore. Your disappointment in that is just your subjective opinion, not any reflection of objective truth.

You also seem to think that there's nothing "productive" anyone could do with the time they save from not having to make their own things, which seems obviously false.
I have had good experience with Replicate and Runpod. Replicate seems to be nicer but has very bad cold boot issue. Runpod is great once you have an app set up!

The fact that many of the operating systems we still use to this day have origins in systems created during the 60s and 70s is one of the many problems I have with this statement.

Security requires privacy. A phone without privacy is insecure by design, insecure because it leaks data.

Ask HN: Is Google blocking a large part of the internet?
I'm working on a new website and it has some marketing on the landing page. The product hasn't launched, but I want people to be able to sign up to a newsletter to find out more information.

I create projects here and there every other year or so, but I've never seen a Deceptive Site Warning put on any of them. Not only did I get this when I went to my site initially, I got it again when I clicked a link, in Safari.

I apparently have to verify my domain so that it's registered with Google before anyone can freely visit it.

What are your thoughts? Maybe I'm overreacting.
It seems the rationale is Google is abusing market power as a interested party, by weaponising the home page of its main product, Google search, to attack the proposal.

After searching, I assume you're talking about this infant death?

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/doctors-debate-wh...

That doesn't seem clear cut enough to say "There has been at least one infant dying from cannabis exposure". I'm not saying there's no danger, it's just that I'm pro-legalization so that the health effects can be studied, and I'm interested in hearing about this sort of thing. It is a good reminder to make sure infants can't access things they shouldn't.
No. You need 2+ credit cards and ~2 bank accounts all that have existed for several years. "Carry a balance" of ~15% of your total credit limit BUT you need only _for the owed money to show up on the paper statement_. It's weird but if you pay off the thing you bought immediately that day, it's as if it never happened. It needs to be recorded on a statement, then pay 100% off before due date and don't owe anybody shit!

The comment I replied to said OP should take the loss if they think the failure is “in good faith”. This implies that OP should give up what they’re owed to take pity on the failed business’ owners.

That would be giving the owners a pass on the risk that should be inherent in starting a business venture at the expense of OP’s already-delivered labor.

I stand by my tone. That kind of risk shuffling is cancer to the whole realm of private ventures and contributes to general distrust of business as a means of organizing and motivating collective human action.

> The point of all this is that price inflation is everywhere and always caused by an increase of the ratio of money-being-spent:things-being-bought.

Yes.. and if you increase the amount of money in circulation this impacts the amount of money being spent. You can imagine all sorts of ways that money can be minted without being circulated, but as soon as you do, this becomes a factor in this ratio, does it not?

> This is why hyperinflation is always kicked off not by money printing, but rather by a productivity collapse.

Has this occured in the US before? Are the examples you are using to draw this inference something that applies to the US?

> This is also true for wage inflation, which is why US wages have remained flat in real terms since the mid 60s immigration reforms: the labor supply has been grown as fast as the demand for labor.

The labor market has changed _drastically_ in this time. You're really willing to assume such a simplistic explanation for these facts?
The way I would explain it to a 6 year old would be like this:

There are natural numbers, like 0,1,2 and so on. Natural numbers can be odd or even. There is no such natural number as infinity. Therefore the question if 'infinity' is odd or even is meaningless. It does not even type-check.

In math people like well-formed questions, and generally don't like ill-formed questions.
>In the absence of this utopia, you have to ask if its a better world that Microsoft retains unilateral control over its users' ability to set a default browser

You are running on Microsoft's operating system, they will always outrank you in decision making. Even if they expose an API for you to use, nothing can stop them from perverting that API if they want to harm you. You can only hope that the users prefer that they have final say, which at least used to be Microsoft's policy.

Yes that's the crux of it. Similarly, - the US can't legally spy on it's citizens, but it could absolutely sell the same spy software to Australia and let Australia spy on our citizens, and then broker the data back and forth. Psh those pesky civil rights seem to go out the window as long as a foreign country is asking.
Roblox are doing steady incremental progress to their platform/engine.

The problem will be the ability to fabricate digital evidence at scale. What does it mean to research if I can fabricate an entire university complete with domains, professor bios and students all that never existed.

Then once I have that I can create a Wikipedia entry, and at that point it's basically fact already because of citogenesis.

At this point all digital evidence should be suspect and.we should trust nothing online we don't experience for ourselves in meat space.
I think the concerns/difficulties are:

1) Business contexts. A local network maybe shouldn't be trusted, there, for security purposes. "OK, but they should set that with policies" which, yes, sure, but defaults do matter, so... I dunno, I can see why they'd prefer the safer default.

2) Lying DNS servers on a local-but-actually-public network (think: coffee shop wifi) directing you to a local address to bypass SSL protection while it proxies Amazon or your bank website or whatever, and steals your credentials.

3) IPv6 is supposed to render these distinctions rather moot (although, LOL, and also that's precisely one thing some folks don't like about it, but that's another topic)
You misread my point. I did not say we could not decide to censor such people, only that it is useful to have people willing to offer up a basic defense that pushes us to justify the actions we take. "Think of the children" is a way to instantly shut down opposition and win a moral argument without having to justify that your policy is well considered.

I believe so. Onnxruntime very recently merged a WebGPU backend: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35694553

You can also go directly from PyTorch to WebGPU with Apache TVM. (ONNX is also supported, but my understanding is that it's better to go direct). This is an example using an LLM trained with PyTorch (I think) and run in the browser: https://mlc.ai/web-llm/
Actually no, the GDPR applies to all European citizens around the world.
And if your website targets a global audience, then by extension you target EU users, which means you have to comply with the GDPR too.
Sure, but the same thing applies in the digital world. If you're an important customer, its likely some employees know information about you. You can demand the company erase records, but you can't erase it from the employees' mind.
Can you elaborate about what you mean by pressure testing? Haven't heard this term yet.
If the startup has failed, it is highly unlikely that you would be able to get any $ from them. Even if you go after the founders personally, they likely don't have any cash and it will be a waste of time. If the company is still operating and has cash in the bank, 1000% you should go after them -- payroll is the first thing on the preference stack that gets paid when shutting down.
