So why is ICANN ok with this? I suspect enough people dangled tons of money in front of them.

Yes I understand that it's likely that squatters would've taken this instead. But instead of coming up with a solution for that (like, if you don't use it for X amount of time, then it's lost), they instead decided "why don't we just take that money"

> I think (maybe after some adjustments) this will be a boon to open source

How can arbitrary fines that will be decided by the judge and that can reach up to hundreds of thousands of euros from a few thousand euros per violation be a boon to open source...

Open source already has a problem funding itself. The funding comes from major corporate donors, who naturally decide the direction of the large projects they fund. The only Open source segment that successfully funds itself through its community members, users is WordPress, which remained free of corporate domination for a very long time as a result.

With this law, any small time open source software producer and any small time private software producer risk themselves and their livelihood for producing software, based on ambiguous rules. Which would make it very difficult and risky for small time projects or companies to produce software in Europe, and as a result benefit the big companies that can actually afford those fines.

This looks like a law crafted by the large German software business that currently dominates the German govt. and Euparl to hamper small time software for their own benefit. When the small open source projects and private software developers close up shop, the software and SaaS of these large businesses will scoop up their users.

To the contrary of being a boon to Open source, this may be the biggest, most well-coordinated attack against Open source in decades...
These comments are realistic because that's how bad the situation has gotten. Decades ago there were solutions because we would have had more time. But the warnings by the experts were willfully ignored. Now we're here. Have fun while you can.
You can install Linux on a Surface, but there is no good writing software for Linux, but touch and pen support is finicky/complicated.
Depends, some might be willing to make that trade. I think most consoles are making that option of performance or visuals these days. As an option, letting the user choose seems to be more the norm these days.

If i'm playing plugged in I would want better visuals (as the switch allows with the dock) the primary reason being more power available.
Sure, and that's the way it should be. Understand what the heck we are really supposed to be building.

Otherwise we deliver what the customer asks, while failing to deliver what the customer wants.
Funny enough, owning the apartment doesn't actually fix all of the other problems of living in an apartment.

I don't want every facet of my life outside of my home to be public and shared. I want a private yard, not a communal park and garden. I want a private shop, not a public maker space. I want peace and quiet and a bit of distance from my neighbors, not shared walls.

Because I've lived the apartment life and it honestly did make me want to kill myself. I don't know how people just live like that.
From the context of the rest of the law it seems pretty obvious to me that just making your code available doesn't turn it into a product. I don't know why people assume it does.

I assume Github and friends are much more concerned with being on the hook for selling these products (i.e. through Copilot). Github does sell you software that happens to make open source code available, and that seems like a much more vague situation.
I'd love a .api TLD
What are you talking about? I’ve been on the same dosage for over 12 years, and it is just as effective for me today as it was on day 1. Still waiting for those consequences I guess..
The piracy point is moot. If you go on torrent websites, you'll find repacks of Nintendo games with prepackaged and set up emulators. It can't really get worse than that.

I also wonder how much of this is due to better measurement and tracking and is an actual aberration. I fundamentally believe it is an aberration but improved measurement has to account for some degree of the effect.

Well, I do. As it is right now, the front page is misleading. They say there that Pharo is made by "an incredible community" (oh, the humility!). Someone might read it and think that there's a helpful, friendly community that they could (politely) ask for support without fear of being called "entitled" and without a barrage of "you just don't understand how glorious our way of doing things is!" following. Well, they would be wrong.

As in the reply to a sibling comment, yeah, nobody owes anything to anybody. But, you know, we do things we don't owe to anybody every day. I don't owe my neighbor saying "hi" when I meet them, but I still do. I don't owe my guests anything, but I still offer them a seat. Pharo community tries to do it both ways: they appear to want new users, but when you come closer you'll see what they actually want is new fanatics. Screw that. They don't owe me anything, but neither do I owe them keeping quiet about what I've been through.

Smalltalk is beautiful. And, Smalltalk is not just Pharo. There are other communities, and there are much better Smalltalks out there. Cincom (no affiliation) Visual Works is so much better an implementation that it's scary. Pharo could be like that, if only the "incredible community" stopped killing all semblance of stability with constant rewrites of everything, stopped treating users like unwanted baggage, stopped insulting people whose use cases don't completely fit the community's idea of what's good and bad.

Pharo community is a museum that preserved the culture of Smug Lisp Weenies intact. Good for them. Meanwhile, Pharo being advertised as "the most actively developed and most advanced Smalltalk" - which means that it's first, and very often last Smalltalk tried out by people - hurts the wider community and hurts Smalltalk adoption. They don't care. Is this a decent behavior? I think it's irresponsible, at the very least.

Don’t really need to comment on this, just dropping it here to call it out and highlight what makes it difficult to read journalism:

I’ve worked at “Big G” and a startup - big tech is a much more sane place to start a career than a startup. If you just graduated, it’s a good place to learn basic skills before considering a startup job.

Google for example is much more rigorous with code reviews and code quality. They maintain a high % test coverage, continuous integration and delivery… etc. startups can’t maintain those same standards and move quickly. learn the rules before you break them.
There’s a lot of philosophical discussion about what would happen with uploading consciousness, grappling with the question of “do you get a ‘transfer’ where your consciousness wakes up in the digital realm” and so forth.

I’ve always thought the obvious result is that both the physical and the digital consciousness would wake up. Physical you would have some convincing personal experience of “I did not experience a transfer”, meanwhile digital you would have some equally convincing personal experience of “I did experience a transfer”.
It's better than Reddit, because downvotes can't go below -4, which means you always have a chance for revival, and people can still respond to you anyway.

Great question, @ukuina! We will need some time to do a detailed analysis of MindsDB. But here are some key differences a first glance:

1. First-class support for unstructured data: EVA natively supports querying over videos, audio, etc. For instance, it manages a video as a table, mapping each tuple to a video frame.

2. Cascades-style query optimizer: EVA has an AI-centric query optimizer with built-in support for cost-based query optimization, predicate reordering, caching of expensive models, etc.

3. First-class support for vector embeddings: EVA supports similarity search using embeddings stored in a vector database.

Similarities to MindsDB:

1. EVA is implemented in Python and uses sqlalchemy for connecting to a structured database system (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)

2. EVA supports Huggingface and OpenAI pipelines in the form of user-defined functions.

We will love to hear from the developers of MindDB if our high-level analysis is correct :)

> So if an EU-based company audits and then needs to make some changes to a non-EU-based project, I'd assume by default they'd want all those changes upstreamed and made permanent since it'd reduce the burden going forward.

Humans aren’t behaving logically. If a company A audited their dependencies, it doesn’t benefit them at all to “upstream” their audits because: 1) dependencies are already audited for that company and only new version has to be audited in the future, 2) holding an audit will be a competitive advantage because everyone else has to consume their resources to get audits in place, 3) “my people on my salary got those audits for me so if I had to pay for it, the others have to pay, why should I share that when I paid for it, it cost money and sweat, nobody’s getting it for free”.
This is a parable - it's "hyperbole" in a sense I guess, to show the meaning in a few sentences.

It's not saying we should all fish for a living. It's saying don't miss the forest for the trees - keep your end goal in mind.

Think about what you are actually working for, and optimise for that. That's the point of the parable.

If your dream life is fishing everyday on a beach, should you make an empire to have the free time to do it or should you just fish?

Those terms are quite GPL specific.

The payment you can demand under GPL explicitly isn't allowed to be a money maker. It's to cover the costs only. I wouldn't classify that as commercial and I'm not aware of any laws that would.
If it's a relative path then it's not a TLD. It's only a TLD when it's part of a domain name.
The dongles for high end CAD software don't work either. Iranian, Russian, and Chinese pirates are very very good at cracking them (and some even provide support contracts and bugfixes). It's an interesting side effect of sanctions. If you get a proxy in Iran, you can find cracks and even cracked updates and custom bugfixes of basically any CAD software you want.

> it's possible for legislation to be terrible while conceived entirely in good faith

This is way too fine-tuned to destroy small software segments, open source and private developers included, for the benefit of large companies that will be able to afford the potential fines.
I can confirm, though it's more like 5:1 hit-miss ratio for me (specifically for the copy paste feature) but that could be because of agressive battery optimization I do. I also use it daily for effortless file transfer, and so much more: it truly has enhaced my desktop experience to another level. For example, I can play a YouTube video on my PC and have it pause when I recieve a phone call - all without any kind of physical intervention.

Makes me wonder how many more people who are waiting for AirDrop alternatives haven't tried KDE Connect. Or about the state of FOSS in general.

European here. If German SAP companies want to bankrupt themselves because of global cuts on ties on FLOSS, where almost every component has some dependency on these in one way or another, that's ok.

Look what happened to the Amiga, and former propietary software companies with in-home rewritting refusing to co-operate with standards. If they want to be the next idio... dumb CEO's trying to not be lynched form the share holders, I'm totally fine. They... won't.

Show HN: Explore career opportunities in AI-first companies
Like many unemployed right now, I've been playing with LLMs and learning a lot.

It's an exciting space right now, with many opportunities. So I curated over 100 companies in the space and joined all their opportunities (not only tech) in a single site.

I believe it can be interesting for many people recently affected by layoffs and looking to restart in a market that is booming — for better or worse.

Exploring the data about the market is also something that I'm starting to look into [1].

Companies can be added for free and get highlighted by sponsoring the site.

I hope that someone out there who is searching for a new job finds this helpful.

Yeah, ours is a field where we typically make multiple X what we need to survive. I took 6 months off somewhat involuntarily when COVID first hit and it kind of sucked because of the COVID lockdown, but I could see the potential. Of course resume gaps are a yellow flag at best, and the ol “just explain it was a sabbatical” is realistically not as powerful as people like to think it is. Two people. Identical except that one has a 6 month sabbatical in the work history. Most companies will hire the guy without the sabbatical on record.

It’s a real bummer we can’t work 20 or 32-hour weeks (with proportionally-reduced pay). It’s “40” or nothing, you’re right. Where’s the leverage? We’re supposed to be in-demand. Why haven’t we unionized? Why haven’t we been at the forefront of advocating for workers’ rights? They need us. We’re hard to replace. Hospitality staff are easy to replace. Amazon warehouse workers are easy to replace. Apple retail employees are easy to replace.
I don't disagree with you, and I find Switzerland a really interesting example. Building good education, good culture, and good social values is often a much healthier outcome than regulation. In my experience, trying to build effective, reproducible education is not just expensive and difficult, but nebulous as well. A lot of American attempts to better their education systems have been expensive for questionable benefit.

I'd much rather have a good culture than good regulations, if I had the choice. I think most people would, but there's no sure path to get there. Switzerland has some magic sauce that other countries would be hard pressed to replicate at scale.
People who take ownership and initiative for the things they work on get quickly promoted.

I can tell you from experience as a human being -- and having given many, many friends a shoulder to cry on over the years, in regard to this very issue: that this is of course what management always says in regard to how things work. But the reality on the ground (beneath the confident pronouncements, and fake glassdoor reviews) is often starkly different. And is ultimately what pushes people into the clock puncher mindset.

If they don’t, there is usually some other issue

Right, and it's always, always, always on the employee side -- is what you're basically saying.
An oddly prescient (though much less nuanced) version of a similar concept is in Rollerball (1975): https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/720ad4a5-5a51-4b97-b521-2a1d1fa...

Fortunately, .zip seems less worrisome from a security perspective -- you don't execute a zip file. (Unless I'm missing where clicking on .zip files is an intermediary step in a common exploit?)

It's more just confusing from a usability perspective. Like, I don't want domains ending in .jpg or .mp4 or .doc or .txt either, you know? It's a benefit to be able to look at a string and usually be able to reason with high confidence whether it's a domain name or filename.

It definitely feels weird to me.

That's fair. Europe should therefore pay Earth Reparations to those who have the opportunity to preserve the Earth.

> There is no actual reason

There may be no technical reason for it, but having a common reference point for times of the day in terms of human experience and behavior is an actual reason. Saying you were walking down the street at 2am or 3am is immediately distinct from saying you were walking down the street at 10pm or 11pm in ways many people understand. Having to qualify it with the date and geographic location and/or sunrise or sunset patterns would be a much bigger PITA than your average person will ever experience because of time zone inconsistencies. It's just not that important for most people to be able to pinpoint a timestamp to one exact time throughout the world.

We've got GMT. Nothing is stopping anybody from using that to schedule their lives. There's a reason people don't.
