once a day, i go through all "new" from the last 24 hours.
With the prior understanding that the code uploaded there would remain free and visible for all those who wished to contribute towards something greater than themselves. Microsoft sweeping in at the last minute to undermine all that wasn't exactly an act met with rapturous applause, nor was it expected by anyone who hosted on Github.

The users are trapped. They've made a time (and some a financial) investment into Github, and to pack up bow and go elsewhere would kill the communities they grew there.

Github owes FOSS everything for the community and buy-in fostered there, and would be nothing without it.
Well, I can still use my old polycarbonate MacBook from 2008 with the old version of Aperture I bought indefinitely, at least until the hardware breaks and is no longer repairable.

If Apple decides to stop supporting the subscription based Logic Pro, I'd no longer be able to continue using it.
If any time a proponent of a philosophy has a bad life you declare the philosophy failed, there must be very few left.
His point (that you and the other commenters are intentionally ignoring) is that he could be the target demographic, if Apple had made their mobile platform a little more flexible/"pro".
I just feel and hear the sound of this clicky old mechanical keyboard, anyone who writes on this keyboard faster than 20 wpm is announcing to the world their unprecedented productivity
> It’s getting tiring to read journalist pieces who look at the extreme outliers of tech (Holmes, SBF, Hsieh) and try to tell us that everyone is like this.

I think the message is that these people were created by throngs of investors, media and fan adulation. There's an entire culture of revering people from SBF to Elon Musk to Bill Gates to Marc Andreessen. Some of those people have exploded more spectacularly than others, but the mechanisms and culture that create them are the same.
Seems kinda unecessary and unfair to write hit pieces on the dead like this
Even without the subscription model, one never owns the software they buy. It's still just a license, at the end of the day.
This is the one thing I would love to see Google cancel, lmao.
We agree then?

Edit: Oh wait, sorry, I must have misread/not read that you agreed adding 'across' was weird initially. Thought you were just saying 'sqm/sqft no big deal move on' sort of thing.
Can you add "Show HN" to the title? That requires less upvotes to get attention and will be displayed on a page https://news.ycombinator.com/show where users regularly share feedback on new products (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html)
You’re right, JavaScript wouldn’t be necessary for my website. I agree that getting rid of it would increase accessibility. Would love to be able for my site to be usable in elinks…

My post above was concerned most of all with privacy, and the only scripts are for page rendering, they’re hosted from my domain, and they make no network calls. Bytecode in, DOM nodes out, all on the user’s device.

I've seen a trend of recording studios using ancient computers with versions of Logic from like 2005, with big signs taped to the wall warning against connecting to the internet or installing any updates.

In some ways, the lack of updates can be a feature. I'm sure we've all been frustrated by updates that break our workflows, deprecate useful functionality, or inadvertently degrade performance.
Mastodon has hugely improved my user experience by being open to third-party apps like Ivory, which is amazing (and much better than Bluesky.) For people who want algorithmic content, presumably third party services could handle that problem as well… except that the Mastodon community has been pretty opinionated about not allowing content search an aggregation at a project and instance level. This sort of from-the-top hostility makes that kind of extension into a risky project.
> isn't the world running on Linux?

Well, all the powerful entities in IT are.

Most people are on Android, that is technically Linux but not open by any standard. Most others are on iOS, that is even less open, besides technically being BSD.

Most of the ones trying to get an open platform to do something useful are stuck on Windows, and completely under the whims of a few powerful players.
To my ears, "closed ecosystem" sounds less terrible than "walled garden". "Walled garden" is the same as "gilded cage".
Correction, it was invented to more accurately account for ad impressions.
what the other comment said, it replaces output and looks like a proper terminal UI. But it also adds features for hotkeys, progress bars, text input etc.

I have it integrated into a bigger CLI project where only a few commands enter the UI. Most of them just render to stdout and are meant to be pipeable
I read articles quite regularly. They are almost always heavily partisan, spuriously sourced and have been on the wrong side of major stories for years
I mean... is getting out something you're looking at? Seems like it might not be a bad move? Perhaps people here could help you out with that if you're lucky.
As a layman I get the feeling that JWST is showing us more detailed things we'd already seen than brand new ones. I remember being moved by the Hubble deep field, where a long exposure revealed that what looked like an empty patch of the sky was anything but.

Are we reaching the point of diminishing returns of what a reasonably sized (for our current rockets) space telescope can see?
And to a lot of Americans also.
> there are many such examples.

It's always the same two examples, and I would not classify that as "many", especially since that fast inverse square root function has been shown to be on GitHub and other sites countless of times with all sorts of different licences (which is wrong, but copilot doesn't seem to do better or worse than humans in this regard).

That codeium.com is just asking leading questions, or the AI equivalent of that.

Here is an article on Indexes https://zilliz.com/blog/vector-index
What these people are missing is that it's not just consumers that would be involved. We can already see how law enforcement is split on the issue when you look at how many rural sheriffs are refusing to enforce new gun laws as they are enacted in various states. This is an issue that has a strong urban/rural divide, which means there are people in all manner of roles that could be on either side. And yes, some companies or people take advantage of that, just as other do from reporting on mass shootings while largely ignoring the everyday shootings that pose a bigger threat.
Another thing you can checkout is for example HTTrack, you can use it to make a local clone of a website. I have used it when moving to a remote location where I wouldn't have Internet for a long time.
The point is that it's always at risk so every day you have to choose between locking it in or losing it.
Years ago, for my Impacts Project, a scientific illustrator created a similar image (page 7):

https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf#page=7

The middle of the disc has our star having burned away everything close by, leaving an empty area behind, which the JWST cannot show because of the blindingly bright star. Each of the rings in the illustration represents paths for our rocky planets (yet to have fully formed).
One thing I've always wanted from a browser is to keep my bookmarks in an org file. Is this kind of thing possible with Nyxt?
Yes, I think that will be a challenging approach to take :) I do wish more people were as thoughtful about it as you are. Setting good phone & Internet habits is really, really hard for everybody, students & adults included. Hopefully setting some good examples early will help them with that later.
Well no, that's ridiculous. 'The media' only published the ones you disagree with.
...a consequence of "Philomena Cunk". (Not precisely (and in a way the opposite - at least Cunk investigates), but to stay in the metaphor.)
Given that Bluesky does not use ActivityPub, it's hard to make a case that it's embracing, extending, and extinguishing it, given that there's no embrace in the first place.
No, I’m telling you that sensational media is driven by demand.

Demand from consumers who interact with the internet.

Consumers who, on the internet, ONLY see upvoted comments about masa shootings and see anything talking about the more deadly issue of heart disease/obesity downvoted and mocked.

Why does Flatpak insist on being so unwieldy? Every time I see it being used, I can't help but think it just looks clunky compared to... basically every other option.
I wish I never migrated. Now I never play and recommend everyone not to, because it no longer seems like a game I own
> but almost every development environment/learning resources requires internet access.

Figure out how to use your environment offline while you still have some access. Nothing is a replacement for actual experience. It's not going to be the same, the main thing you will miss is dependencies, but that can be a good thing - it will force you to be more minimal, write less glue code, and get your hands dirty which forces you to understand more of what's actually going on.

Just make sure you have access to all the reference material you need to figure things out without stackover flow and using other peoples solutions (dependencies).
Atuin – Magical Shell History
hey, thanks for the suggestion. Done.
I think if they did not, and another git host offered free hosting to open source it would have much of GitHub’s share of the market today. They still competed hard on UX and features but it was necessary to win over open source projects, to become the defacto solution for software.
I could see the idea of building a quiz or something with CSS and named anchors (links within the document). No JavaScript, everything all on one .html, and it would work on elinks!

But yeah, that’s certainly a bit of a novelty.
It would be fun to see this episode transcribed. I listened to it back in the day when I saw it on Twitter Spaces, but there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.
You cannot? Huh I am an Apple ecosystem guy and the assumption that GarageBand on iPadOS and GarageBand on macOS will be compatible is really a reasonable one; I would think it’s the case!!
I don't think this article is referring to physical organisms known as trees (as your article does). It's talking about abstract tree structures, in particular:

1. There is a coherent parent-child relationship

2. Children have only one parent

3. Children have no lateral relationships with other children

4. Relationships are mediated through parents, not e.g. grandparent-child directly.

5. We can coherently differentiate between different children

etc.

All of these are assumptions that greatly simplify analysis and therefore useful in any situations, but almost always fail in some way on closer inspection.

More generally we go to the saying "all models are wrong, some are useful."
Right, any explorers would dive with their own breathing gas. The actual risk in some of those blue holes is not low oxygen but high hydrogen sulfide.
Aye, it is. GabeN and a few others.

Also means they don't have to grind or worry about specific quarterly performance.

It shows -- the platform is generally pretty good. I've had grumbles, but compared to most of the other paid software I use, Steam still delivers -- even on Fedora Linux.

Proton in Linux is great, btw. Been able to run Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon ZD, and other major games with little to no issue. Shout out to the ProtonDB and WineDB -- if anything doesn't work they usually have the answers on how to fix.
I think “duh, of course they have this data” is missing the point.

A lot of comments here seem to be hyper focused on the inherent properties of a social network necessary to serve users relevant content. As a tech community, we’re better equipped to understand this inherent property, but arguably the average user won’t have the same intuitions.

There are two ways I think this can be read:

1) TikTok does what every social media platform does, but because of the cultural context, articles like this seek to warn users that their preferences are now on a list somewhere. In this case, it’s not that the existence of a list is surprising, but that who holds the list is worrisome.

2) Above and beyond the base functions of a social network, TikTok specifically maintains topic-specific reports for <reasons>. If this is indeed true, it just magnifies the concern, because now it’s not just about “TikTok could do this”, but “TikTok is doing this”.

In other words, it’s one thing to have data about users as a natural byproduct of running the network. It’s another thing to build highly sensitive reports on that data, and depending on who builds those reports and why, questions will naturally arise.

What’s not clear from the article is which thing is happening.

> “TikTok does not identify individuals or infer sensitive information such as sexual orientation or race based on what they watch.”

If they’re going to do something nefarious with this kind of data, it’s not necessary to infer orientation or race. This is a non-answer.
Alarm bells aside, this was fascinating:

> The decoder produced more accurate results during the tests with audio recordings, compared to the imagined speech, but it was still able to glean some basic details of unspoken thoughts from the brain activity. For instance, when a subject envisioned the sentence “went on a dirt road through a field of wheat and over a stream and by some log buildings,” the decoder produced text that said “he had to walk across a bridge to the other side and a very large building in the distance.”

It sounds like it's reading a persons snapshot of the story in a visually-descriptive language. That's really neat! I can imagine this is the beginning of telepathy.
Well, what were you expecting? Can you describe what innovation looks like?
Have a high level summary? The whole place the gym bag in front of the door as success I feel is misplaced (yes) without a reward loop (unique to each person).
> But we will see what happens when the invite system is lifted

The devs have said that they don't intend to lifting the invite system, because having a tree of who invited who is a powerful tool for detecting things like spam.

It is not part of the protocol proper, and so once federation is turned on, it will be lifted in that sense, but it's not yet known how widespread the invite system will be used throughout the federation.
The point of the peer review process is to get your work reviewed by peers.

However LLM could be used to filter garbage papers, to help designing a research study, to help writing, or to simulate a review before submitting.
No, that's backwards. Running a CFD simulation would involve a multi-year effort to re-educate yourself to learn how to build an accurate CFD model.

Building a physical model, on the other hand, merely requires 3D printing the desired shape, doing some sort of casting process to get that out of metal, putting it on a boat, and seeing if you get a noticeable performance impact.

It's one of these situations: https://xkcd.com/1425/
What tools are capable of stopping FB tracking 100%? Right now it's a "cold" arms race between Facebook and people trying to avoid tracking but if more people started trying I think Facebook would try harder to track everyone and things would heat up. The only way to avoid a perpetual arms race (that Facebook will probably win) is to legislate boundaries that Facebook is legally not allowed to cross. We saw this happen on iOS (though at an OS/App Store policy level instead of legally) and it seemed to actually work.
> Here in the US (NY metro), Android seems a second rung system. Common but not poplar.

I am certain there are very large regional variations on this. In the part of the US where I am, Android is considered the "normal" thing. Apple devices are around, but a very small percentage of the population and there appears to be little or no social pressure to prefer them.
Finally, it's making comparisons between AI mania and Bitcoin/Web3 mania.
Loss of agency is a deeply profound concern that is not discussed enough.

So much of human life is tied to the reward of the sense of accomplishment, and AI threatens that in a meaningful way. From large things, like seeing a piece of software you built ship and get used, or seeing your child graduate from college after years of hard work raising them, to the small things, like even eating a delicious meal you cooked yourself.

When machines are not only offering to solve problems and perform actions for us, but are reading are thoughts and doing everything for us before we even make an attempt, I worry that sense of accomplishment will become ever less frequent.

And while we can compensate for machines taking jobs through, eg, universal basic income or the like, how we can solve for machines replacing struggle, perseverance, and accomplishment is still very much TBD.
Meh, this is a parlor trick. The two songs have similar rhythms and chord progressions, that is all. There is probably not a single popular song ever written that didn't share those features with some other song out there somewhere. And two songs don't even have to be similar at all to be able to fram them together in a way that sounds coherent.

Heh, what DNS server software are you using on VMS?
The writing's been on the wall (no pun intended) for quite some time (GPT-3 was released in 2020), and writers would have been in a much better position to say "you won't be able to replace us with AI anytime soon" even just a few months ago. But they waited until after the technology became so accessible that even non-technical people are regularly using AI to write things.
Yeah, she's like Frank Underwood, except it wasn't a mercy killing.
Wow. I’ve seriously actually never heard that once in 15+ years of being a Mac developer and using them full time.

I’ve never actually heard anyone, in real life; or offline, recommend, suggest; or even say one single positive thing about AirDrop essentially since its release.

It’s easily the most unreliable piece of software integrated into the MacOS/iOS platform, just a feature that has been so fundamentally broken since it’s introduction that it makes me wonder why it exists at all.

It’s definitely below 50% on the times it actually works as intended - given any network configuration, combinations of Macs or OS versions…nothing really seems to even consistently affect its continual failure.

AirDrop not working, is the expected result of using the software. As of Ventura I’ve not noticed any improvement in the feature’s functionality since it’s introduction.
On top of that, it's basically just Arch linux with a complicated filesystem scheme. Flatpaks are the recommended distribution mechanism, but you can do whatever you want. It comes with KDE and an X server out of the box.
You don't owe debts to open source. That's the point. Or at least that's the point of the free software philosophy.

This is also why I think it's unbelievably lucky we had luminaries like RMS in the beginning. To think of software freedom, what a concept! Legend!

Meanwhile everyone else is constantly trying to turn everything into a transactional interaction. "what are you going to give me for my code? How are you going to pay your debts?"

I am worried we are currently headed down a similar terrible path.

In another thread about Ireland's new law to jail people for "hateful content" on their personal devices, when I said that I believed future measures could go further, sliding towards mass murder, due to the ideologues believing hate speech is literally violence and genocide (because the logical conclusion is to then allow violence to be used to stop the ill defined "hate speech"), I got 1 comment supporting consequences for free speech, citing the common anti-free-speech strawman "you are wrong in that free speech doesn't have consequences" and another comment supporting "the removal of bigots from society, violently if necessary" [1]

Read it for yourself, maybe I am misinterpreting it? I don't want to feed into some culture war flame war thing, but this is extremely disturbing to me. It's not about the comments, it is about the underlying beliefs of these ideologues in power, and the logical conclusion of their beliefs. Historically, it seems to me that peoples' behavior can be predicted by taking their beliefs to their logical conclusions.

Disagree, it's performative "anti-coporate culture" culture. It seems to want to say "hey, we're not stuffy like those other companies", but only ends up implying that the leader's cultural tastes should be shared by the staff.
I agree with this. I travel a lot and read a lot of ebooks. I also get a fair amount of work done without internet connectivity.

* plan out exactly what you'll be working on, to the minutia
* save source and upstream dependencies locally
* have a local environment where you can build and run the code locally
* download specific sites and documentation with `wget -r` and the like
* have multiple things stacked up for if you hit a blocker on one project.

If it's a solo big project you can work without internet in perpetuity. You just have to RYO on any libraries you don't have downloaded before hand.
It's probably a bold assumption that you wouldn't be able to continue using it, Apple likely realizes that this would screw people who bought the device specifically for that purpose; should just be as simple as changing a sub expiry date to a thousand years from now if the shit does hit the fan.

Furthermore, if it shares the same codebase as the macOS version, why would it cease development now that they share a common architecture? If anything, that would likely mean Apple had gone tits-up.
I think the point is, that this is slightly overkill and not so practical. He could be offline for unknown time any minute now. Applying now is a little bit late. Now you just download what you can
