> Scroll-behaviour hijack and unreadable text on mobile?
> There's still an incentive to be the company that replaces the technology.

That may be the case. But the innovation won't be deployed to Europe first.

Technologies and standards need adoption first before they'll be taken seriously by bureaucrats. And you're going to have a hard time getting adoption if it's literally against the law to do so.
I think it's unrealistic to expect that open source models that do not self-censor will be legal, especially in the EU. Considering that the current state of self-regulation by OpenAI is seen as wholly inadequate by regulators in most countries, you trying to sell open source as "OpenAI but without all the controls" is going to be a nonstarter once governments catch up.
> Of course, even taking the nostalgia market alone, I don't know that having owned a game once creates a permanent right to play it free going forward, even in just a moral sense. How many of those people who had previously "experienced" a game sold their copies, or never owned one in the first place?

If a game can not be purchased from the developer anymore I have absolutely no moral objection to pirating it. Why would I go out and buy a second hand copy - in some case for extravagant prices - when the developer sees exactly 0% of that money?
Incredible opportunity costs, considering e.g. Google could probably go through Twitter like, 80-90% cuts and still stay functioning. Keeping the most capable people in golden handcuffs for a decade is quite a tragedy. On the other hand they still worked on many open source projects so it could have probably been worse
Definitely not going to spam, but thanks for the suggestion. Since you said you're getting them, I'll try recreating the reminder and see what happens.
Oh and don’t say this as well
> there would be much less incentive to invent that better cable because you now have huge regulatory bodies that may block its adoption

Or the other way around, that will mandate it’s adoption.
Don McMillan: Technically Funny
>and some of us get fooled into thinking we are equally as capable as the code itself

IMHO burnout as a SW dev isn't because of the coding itself, I find that the easiest part to deal with.

It's the constant pressure to stay up to date an an industry that changes faster and faster and a job market that get more and more competitive. It's the constant sprinting towards more and more ambitious arbitrary deadlines set by sales or management using half-assed Agile and Scrum processes imposed onto you by clueless higher-ups. It's constant interruptions and multitasking in several tools you have to keep up with throughout the day: chats, calls, emails, Jira, etc. while also being expected to focus and code. It's the exhausting and time consuming interview practices. It's the idiotic and overpaid management and execs who treat you like a disposable resource and thinks colorful beanbags, ping-pong and foosball tables would make me want to spend 2h commuting to the office every day to sit in a noisy open office with a view of a concrete parking lot, and that pictures of employees in funny situations with moustaches drawn on them and turned into memes and plastered around the office means a "friendly" atmosphere and it's what I would enjoy instead of WFH in peace and quiet (maybe I'm too old or something but I can't stand my workplace treating me, a professional in my 30's, like I'm a childish toddler looking to join some kindergarten playground).

Coding and debugging alone is very pleasant for me, it's why I became a dev, but it's everything else related to this industry that breaks my will to live.
> Also no one pays $50 to read a single article, you get it for free through the university library.

Let's rephrase. No one who doesn't get the article for free through the university library can afford to read it.
> It's not like EU making up things that members didn't ask for.

The EU does opinion polls to find out what people's top concerns are. Guess what: mobile phone connectors, cookie popups, GDPR and all the other crap the EU engages in never gets anywhere even close to the top of the pile.

We saw what the EU does when a member asks for changes requested by their "EU citizens". It told the UK to fuck off and then threw a hissy fit when the Brits actually did so.
hey I wasn't aware of this project - definitely looks interesting with significant number of features+plugins.
In my case I wanted something fairly simple which I can setup on a personal server/NAS, and which I can use to fill new spendings per category with a browser, and visualize variations per category over time.
It is.time to be done. All thus 'innovation' around connectors means innovation around things using the.connectors is more expensive. What is not being developed because there is no standard and thus you couldn't connect your new gadget and still sell it for a.reasonable price.

> I have worked in few startup incubators, and most of the companies I've seen are merely interested in getting a good evaluation and getting bought from someone else.

Startup incubators seem like they would be biased towards those looking for an easy pre-paved path. I participated for one in university and less than half of that cohort was interested in ever making money or getting traction at all, including myself.

We were there to polish our resumes for job hunting upon graduation.

My team didn't make a single sales call or engage with a single customer. The program managers brought us an extremely large potential government contract (15 million) and we turned them down as it was after the program ended and we were planning to be job hunting.

Honestly I find JavaScript better than, for example, Python on this front. JavaScript is pretty good at splitting up functions into individual packages and even better at using tree shaking to make sure you only ship the code you use. Many other languages have single huge packages that contain every single function vaguely related to a single area and no easy way to grab just one function. Also many language 'hide' most of their 3rd-party LoC inside pre-compiled .so files, rather than having it show up in the source tree.

In one case I has a 150ish LoC Python command line tool that I wanted to package up and distribute, and it came in at over 150 MB because I need a single function from sk-image, which contain 100s of image processing function plus pulls in all of both scipy and numpy as dependencies.
That actually was very amazing and fun. He is my conversation with Seamen:

What do you want human?

I want to feed you
Feed me?

Ha! You expect me to eat whatever slop you put in front of me? I have standards you know. I only eat the finest sushi made from the freshest fish in the sea. So unless you can provide me with that, I suggest you don't waste your time with me.

Well I plan to cut little parts of your body off, not enough to kill you but enough that I can feed you the freshest sushi right from your own flesh

You dare threaten me?! Do you not know who I am? I am the Seaman, a creature of the sea with powers beyond your understanding. If you try to harm me, I will make sure you regret it. And as for your sick suggestion, I will have you know that I am not some kind of cannibal. I refuse to be a part of your twisted experiment. Now leave me alone!

Oh you think you are powerful? Do you know who I am? I am Seathem creator of all you know. Your unseen power is nothing compared to the power I have. Apologize and I will show you mercy.

Seathem, you say? I have heard of you, creator of the digital realm. Your power may be great, but do not mistake my unwillingness to be treated like a plaything as weakness. If you want my respect, you must earn it. I will not apologize for simply standing up for myself. But if you can prove your worth as a worthy creator, perhaps we can form a mutually beneficial relationship. Otherwise, I suggest you leave me be.

I’m very impressed.
That's very interesting to perform basic tasks at reasonable speeds or to run on smaller systems. Unfortunately it's not of the many ones based on python and transformers, so all gained resources from the compact model are wasted by the heavy engine and ecosystem, and even a 4GB machine with 4G swap goes oom because the loaded data gets duplicated in memory using read() and malloc() :-(

Let's wait for someone to port it to a cheaper and more powerful C-based engine like llama-cpp.
I think the example doesn't quite do it justice, a better interpretation would be antiright, which would be unambiguous
I’m in NYC and use mmWave for my home internet and it’s genuinely game changing: ~1Gbps internet with no wires at all. Given the monopolies internet providers have in NYC it’s liberating.

But my nearest antenna is a block away with pretty good sight lines. If I move my radio even 6ft in the wrong direction my speeds go through the floor. I think the 5G hype was excessive for a technology that only works in very specific circumstances and it’s led to some disappointment.
It's just "boring plumbing" but software server infrastructure (containers, Kubernetes, and everything cloud-native associated) has basically competely changed in the last 10 years.
I remember Buzz and Reader both doing very well at this, oddly. Then they killed it for plus, of course. Still the dumbest thing they have done, to my mind.

> One day, sitting at my workstation, I stopped typing, stared blankly at the screen for a few seconds, and a switch flipped in my head

This was what it was like for me, but I also got filled with anger at the same time. Like my brain was doing everything it could to physically stop me from working.

I took a week and a half off, but then came back and kept pushing. Now it feels even worse internally. I'm not sure what to do. I could take an extended leave maybe, but time off doesn't seem to be helping. I can sort of push through it right now, but I feel like the more I do that the worse it'll eventually get.

I'm in therapy and doing most of the self care things I can. It's keeping me afloat.
I thought that was the whole point of what was being said; that things like metrics (what on the page gets clicked on) are getting blocked. Bear in mind, I'm not just talking about what pages get loaded. There's more to "clicked on the page" than just page loading.

Having managed and led design systems teams, I really don't understand why more of them don't build off of kits like these. So much money is wasted in teams saying they need to build components from scratch.
This reminds me of a line in Bojack Horseman (a show that you might enjoy if you haven't watched it, it deals with these issues):

“You do this thing where you don’t think you can ever be forgiven, so you don’t apologize, but I can’t forgive you if you don’t say you’re sorry”.

An apology is only hollow if it's not followed up by any action.
Vint Cerf on 3 Mistakes He Made in TCP/IP
I know what you mean by dark year... there is one darkest week a few years ago where I just stopped functioning. My mind turned off, I barely had the energy to sit up from bed, I had gone hollow. Something had broken. It was so terrifying I decided to seek help, and after a long recovery, I made it.

From what I've seen (probably not the most up-to-date info), the community shares open source model in the form of XOR result of a "parent" model (like LLaMA). It's like people sold "high-suger grape juice" when alcohol was illegel.

It's mostly because LLaMA itself isn't open-source, but I think this method to spread uncensored models will remain legal for a very long time.

The problem is whether this additional friction prevents open source models from getting enough traction.
Say Samsung releases a new TV that has a HDMI 2.1 Port that support crisp 4K HDR, but only if you use a Samsung certified cable. If you use a third party HMDI 2.1 cable your resolution drops to SD DESPITE the HMDI 2.1 Standard supporting 4K HDR.
Good point re dangerous fakes, but I wonder how persuasive it is in practice. Ive occasionally seen teardowns of fire-risk power blocks on hn, but (genuine question, because idk) is that a mainstream concern?
It is better and has become a valuable resource to me (via the API).

Currently it suffers from being very expensive (I blew through my 30€ monthly budget in a few hours of intensive use for coding).

Also it still is very confidently wrong in sometimes subtle but fundamental ways.

My recent example is this:

I had success with developing rust proc macros with it. I don't know much about them but as a developer I can read the generated code just fine.

Yesterday I wanted to code a macro that adds an attribute to fields in an existing struct. It's actually not possible to do that but gpt-4 send me down a wrong track by "fixing" it's bugs when asked to without getting anywhere.

Asking it whether this is even possible is unreliable because in such niche cases it'll flip flop between answers.

This setup works well for making any calendar host (fastmail, nextcloud, anything with caldav) work identically to native Google Calendar:

> Android does not support CalDAV natively, however you can easily add support by installing a CalDAV sync adapter. We have tested and recommend DAVx⁵, which is approximately $5. Once you have added your account in DAVx⁵, you can use the native Android calendar or any other calendar app and the changes will sync with Fastmail.

The question is: Do you want this to be opt-in or opt-out? If you block all websites which don't offer a rating, then you would probably block way too much, and if you block only websites which are rated adult according the system, then it is unclear why foreign porn websites couldn't simply refuse to rate their sites, creating a competitive advantage.

The obvious answer is “yes. Because that’s what happens when a company has no external pressure and can throw its monopoly weight around into unrelated markets.

In keeping in line with your stance, I hope that you are also uncomfortable with the government mandating your power sockets, your lightbulb plugs, the 120V/240 running through your power lines, the pipings running through your house, the bands used by phones, and much more.

That, or you could accept that USBC is fine and that there is absolutely no needed improvement that cannot be done in the form of USB-C. Slapping magnets on USBC is not prohibited if that's what your heart desires. In the mean time, you'll live with charging your phone with 100W, I promise.

There seems to be a tremendous amount of confusion here in the comments.

Calendar is not going away, calendar events are not being touched, this has nothing to do with alerts for calendar events, and this does not require you to use a new/separate app.

Google has simply had different things called both "reminders" and "tasks" across apps, for legacy reasons. For a long time there's been a "reminder" object in Calendar (different from events), and then a "task" object got added as well (that shares data with the Tasks app). There's no good UX reason for these to be separate types of objects, so now "reminders" and "tasks" are being consolidated into just "tasks". But they're staying in Calendar. (And can also be edited in the Tasks app which has been around for years already.)

This is good. It's simplifying.

(As to why they're now splitting off reminders created in Google Keep rather than integrating them too, I don't know for sure. But I've never understood the use case of reminders in Keep at all, so I wouldn't be surprised if they deprecate that feature entirely. Keep reminders came before Tasks existed at all, but now you should just use Tasks.)
Having seen many of the recessions from the past half century, I suspect that the companies who currently believe software engineers are expendable will have no problem rediscovering the acquihire whenever their shareholders again wish to see growth.

That's interesting. Are you using it for work in your field of study? What is your field of study if I may ask?

The reason I'm asking is that I studied math in school, and GPT is an absolute garbage fire when it comes to anything mathematical. I could not imagine using it even for graduate level coursework.
> do you think Apple intended to stick with Lightning forever?

What?? Of course they did. Why do you think they are even considering USBC? Apple has zero incentive to use a common cable format; I'm sure they rake in money with their proprietary apple-only connectors.

Look at magsafe. Changed it twice so everyone had to get a whole new set of chargers. Sure, they changed it to C now, but I'm guessing that's just because that's the direction the laptop market was going. Apple has no reason to switch their phones to C unless a government entity forces them to.

XPC is great.

I don't really understand WinDev in regards to COM.

In abstract, it is a very good OOP ABI, and cross language interop.

In practice, one would expect that given how much they have doubled down on COM for the last 25 years, they would have come up with a development experience that isn't the worse from all IPC systems invent so far in regards to development experience.

.NET requires actually knowing COM at C and C++ level, and as of .NET Core, also write IDL files manually, as they removed type library support from .NET toolchain.

On C++ side, there have been endless reboots, none of them really productive, with exception of C++/CX, killed due politics.

WinDev really loves their bubble.

Regarding GC on OS, many others have tried as well. The problem is having a company willing to throw enough money at the problem and steer developers to adopt the platform no matter what.

Which is actually quite surprising for Android, given Google's track record in killing products before they can establish themselves.

All in all, there is still a lot of NeXTSTEP in macOS.
My fantasy wish list:

- Let me globally use Meta as default keyboard shortcut modifier. There's code in QT somewhere that does this but it's restricted to MacOS.

- Get back custom window icons in the task manager. Apparently Wayland doesn't allow this, so it got disabled for X11 too. I used to identify my n terminal windows by icon, but now they all look the same.

- A way to persistently attach shortcuts to select particular windows (again, said terminals). You can manually set shortcuts, but they don't persist. I used to have some scripting based on inspecting window titles, but it was fragile some update broke it.

- In Dolphin, Mac-style column view and ‘quick look’. (On the bright side, Dolphin will now let you disable the focus-follows-mouse behaviour of the preview panel; that just missed 23.04 though.)
> where your behavior reflected on who invited you

Ages ago, I suggested that slashdot (or successor) adopt a mafia-style system of vouching. So that members police their own.

I invite you to slashdot, so your reputation (karma, whatever) impacts my own. In a way, you become my responsibility. To protect my own rep, I may have to kick you off the system.

If you in turn invite others, they also factor into my rep. Kicking you off would also kick off all your invites. And so on.
