The phrase "open source" has become very muddled and unclear these days, and you can no longer assume that software calling itself that is actually OSS.

I've come to a place where I just consider the phrase as noise, and generally ignore it. Instead, I just pay attention to the license and if it's acceptable to me, I'll use it. If it's not, I won't. That serves my needs.

I also stopped associating my own software with the term, even when it's actually open source by OSI's definition. Doing that avoids a whole lot of unnecessary arguing.

It's a little sad for me, though. I've been a strong OSS advocate since the Dark Ages, and it's painful to have to disassociate with it.

It is open source. It’s just not free.

There’s been a lot of effort to conflate those terms over the years.

I like SQL and all but I really don't care to follow ISO releases. They're hundreds of dollars and nobody actually implements the whole thing. I get way more excited about database releases.

Does anyone else find value in what's in an ISO standard?
> Abstract: We propose developing AIs whose only final goal is being shut down.

no, that couldn’t possibly go wrong.
> the vertical organization allows more-developed vertical scrolling technologies to be used with the tab list (e.g. scroll wheels).

Firefox also lets you scroll the tabs horizontally. Which I prefer to Brave's approach of simply not displaying the last tabs in the bar if it's too many, which means newly opened tabs simply never show up while the others are shrunk so far they become difficult to hit with the cursor.
There was a period in world rally championship where it was beneficial not to win day one or day two of a 3 day championship.

This resulted in hilarious but rational situations where top racers would race like maniacs for the entire day, then 200meters before the end of the a last stage of the day slow down and crawl for say 12 seconds, so they would come a second behind somebody else and not lead the pack the next day (leading the pack effectively means clearing the path on gravel roads for the rest of the racers)

It was meant to even the field by handicapping the front runners (the Mario kart approach I suppose). But it backfired spectacularly.

I think they went back to randomization after that.
The most bizarre thing about this situation is that IT WAS ALWAYS ILLEGAL FOR THE LANDOWNER TO BLOCK LAND THIS WAY. Since 1885.

Yep. Mine does. Works fine.

Userspace-wise, that Arch I linked just works. I used the debian image to unpack their root tarball and set things up via chroot.

You need to understand the standard RISC-V boot process, and particularly how to configure u-boot. I assume you have serial port access, else I recommend grabbing a cp2104 based usb to ttl serial adapter from aliexpress (~$2). It is very hard to interact with u-boot and/or debug boot issues without.

The kernel is what gets difficult. You need a kernel that supports the VisionFive 2. I did compile mine from one of the trees maintained by people in the forum.

StarFive managed to get a lot of code merged upstream[0] in a short amount of time, but you'd be missing important features such as video output if you use that.

Once more patches get upstreamed and the UEFI effort gets console support (video output and usb keyboard), boot should be as easy as any modern PC, with Linux distributions generic install media simply working outright.

"But the study by Brussels-based Transport & Environment, a clean transport campaign group, points out there are simply not enough animals slaughtered each year to meet airlines' growing demand for animal fats.

"There's not a never ending supply of animals, or animal fat," said Matt Finch from Transport & Environment.

"So if you put on a massive extra demand source from anywhere from aviation, in this case, the industries where fat is currently being used, will have to look for alternatives. And that alternative is palm oil. So aviation indirectly, will be responsible for increasing the amount of palm oil being pulled through the European systems.""
Yep, OmniWeb was the first place I saw the of the vertical tabs back in the mid-00s. Blew my mind.

The concept of “drawers” that OS X had at the time was well suited for this kind of thing, with some “free” (in terms of dev effort) flexibility of allowing the user to choose which edge they unfurled from. It’s too bad they fell out of style in favor of much more static sidebars.
You would think so, but not a single person complaining has provided convincing proof of the degradation.
> To me, “open source” means you can see the source code.

To me, "sugar" means cane sugar, so I should be able to call food that's full of HFCS "sugar free".
Your comment seriously gives an impression of having been written by the CIA.

>They weren't democrats or republicans

You know, if you think the whole world is either republican or democrat and anything not coming from those affiliations is suspect, then you have limited your world view pretty drastically.

> The fact you were able to pull up a primary document published by a movement from an era that is largely not taught in depth about is honestly very suspect, unless you are studying for a BA in American History, which I honestly doubt.

This as well. You're on a "hacker" forum, it is nothing unusual that people here are interested in fringe topics and find interesting sources outside the mainstream. Trying to pry into the identity of another poster to determine if he or she has the right to say certain things is beyond creepy. Have you considered a career at the CIA or other equivalent? From your comment you seem like a good fit.
This was one of the things I was enamored with when I visited New Zealand. It was my first experience with that.
That's because there are legitimate commercial uses. I'm sure you could find some cases that you would agree with. For instance would you disagree with your baker who does not make an insane amount of money to use your software? or some group of people paid to work towards a cause close to your heart? NC makes your software far less useful and may have unintended consequences. Free software is also a means for the human civilization to build public commons cooperatively and NC prevents that a bit. Many desirable and useful things are made in a commercial setting. Unfortunately, people need money to live. Non commercial stuff can only happen in the time that remains.

Even in this time left: I'm in a choir that does not make any profit. Can we use your NC software even if we pay our director or if we make people coming to our concerts pay? In doubt I would not.

You could make your code open source copyleft (so people cannot lock you out by building closed software from your code), and distribute binaries with a more restrictive license that people who need to use them commercially need to pay. As such you have your free software, people with commercial needs give back by paying you and people with non commercial needs can use your software for free. People with commercial needs could compile your software from source but probably won't and probably be happy to pay you a few bucks.

I work for a software company that develops an open source wiki enginr (XWiki) and also sell paid GPL'd extension. People actually pay. It helps founding further developments on the wiki engine and the extensions. See also premium WordPress extensions, or open source apps on the Play Store that are downloadable for a few bucks.
As a dev, it's gratifying and your users' liberties are respected. I can't recommend this model enough. It can also enable commercial users to contribute code instead of having to find alternatives and directing their money elsewhere. I really believe an open source license can greatly benefit you and your software, helping a community to gather around it. NC will strongly limit how big this community can be.

You could also make your binaries downloadable for a fee for everyone and send them for free to whoever sends you a message telling you they want to use your software in a non commercial setting.

In any case, you do you and that's already very nice to provide the source code.
I think part of the problem is that there is plenty parallelism available, but it's not "high impact" parallelism, in that it's not worth whatever overhead you might incur (whether in language complexity or runtime overhead).

I think most "business logic" is fairly linear most of the time, and that even if it's highly branched, usually you don't have a large number of concurrently executing units of logic. You do have things like iterating/mapping over arrays, but that's precisely what I think is generally not "high impact" to parallelize. And when it is high impact, we do in fact have a rich space of tools available in the programming and software world, depending on the nature of the task at hand.

I know nothing why this particular Prolog parallelization project failed, but the above is generally my intuition about parallelism in computer programming, so I imagine it's at least somewhat relevant in this case.
You never take your quest out in public. Being “stylish” would be a waste since no one is going to see it outside of your home.
hard to argue with a guy who thinks he is socrates
No, while the airspace and touching a pole allegations were just dismissed, there was also—and still is—a “trespassing by foot elsewhere on the property” allegation that is still live, and it is that allegation to which the comment about “nominal damages” applies. So the original $7.75 million claim wasn’t just for corner crossing.
And the first step of that court process should be a judge deciding if a case has merit or not.
funny enough that daily dose of meme feels like it has infected the entirety of reddit, at least on any sub with more than 100k subs that doesn’t have extremely strict moderation. a few months ago i left any and all subreddits that allowed image/meme posting and my reddit experience became a lot better.
I'm well aware of what psychological conditioning is. But the data you posted does not support your claim.
> FIRE is a myth, only a small percentage of people will ever have the ability and means to do it

And many of the early proponents of FIRE have been going back to work. Recently, Financial Samurai posted that he was going to return to work for various reasons (one being he's going to have to save up to pay for his kid's education).
Again, what does that statement actually mean? What does it mean to “buy conformity”? Who is doing it?

This thread feels full of vague insinuations that some powerful political lobby is paying to use Reddit to manipulate opinions or something but no actual detail.
I chose YC startups bc they tend to be locked into early technology trends specifically bc 1. everyone tries them out on each other and 2. they need to leverage every advantage to make great product, being a tech early adopter is one of them.

It's true, choosing boring tech works. I analyzed some data to show that most YC companies in the last few years prefer Webflow by far. They seem to prefer it for their marketing sites. But I do think that it's impressive that some people in this tech-obsessed niche chose WP still.
You can live together with someone, have kids and move with your kids without marriage, those things seem orthogonal to me.
Are you saying the Open Source Definition isn't the definition of open source?
I did it too and now I hope people don't think I tried to scam them by being nice...
I keep being fascinated by how medicine is simultaneously things like "that death sentence is a minor inconvenience now" and others and things like... this
For those out of the loop just as I was:

> What they had done was place an A-frame ladder across an intersection of property boundaries, the location where four parcels of land meet at a point. They climbed up one side of the ladder from public land, and down the other side of the ladder, stepping kitty-corner onto a different parcel of public land. But in doing so, their bodies also crossed through the airspace of the other two parcels meeting at that point, which were private. Their trial, set for mid-April, will decide if they trespassed when they passed through that private airspace.

This sounds so constructed, as if they wanted to provoke the precedent.
Also most of Europe had similar jokes both from books and trovadours.
It's a (selfish) issue for the landowner because previously they could treat this public land as if it was theirs effectively, since other people don't have access to it. This ruling doesn't change that for public land that doesn't share at least a corner with private property.
It's stupid. It's a huge market, one where VR tech adds huge value. There's a huge sprawling ecosystem with content and "peripherals" that are motion synced.

Pretending it doesn't exist doesn't help their metaverse ambitions nor their bottom line.

The urban legend is that Betamax eschewing NSFW content lead to their demise in favour of VHS and while that is not entirely true there is certainly some worth to that story.
That’s what I did. It’s cool but to own it I’ll wait one or two generations. Maybe I’m picky as a PC gamer but it was kind of a blurry, ghosting, unfocused experience no matter what I did.
ChatGPT Plus shows the version. It was May 12, if I remember correctly, then it changed to May 24. Which probably means there were some changes. If not in GPT-4 itself, then in pre or post processing. They should have some safety filters at the end, I think.

REGENT builds seagliders: the first form of zero-emission, high-speed, coastal transportation. Our flagship vehicle will safely transport commercial passengers by 2025.We are a venture backed startup with financing led by Thiel Capital and JAM Fund. We're supported by additional industry-leading financiers including Mesa Air Group, Mark Cuban, Y Combinator, Founders Fund, Caffeinated Capital, and Fitbit founder James Park. We are well-funded, with significant runway, and are continuing to grow our world-class team from across the aviation and maritime industries.

Embedded Software: Work with flight software, GNC and Avionics team to develop embedded code and drivers for our flight control computers and controllers. Work with a variety of sensor systems, actuators and communication protocols and play an integral role in getting our first generation seaglider in the air. (C++, C, including both bare metal and unix environments and Python, MATLAB, or Bash)

Flight Software: Develop and implement flight software. Includes low level implementation of flight control and flight management software, and building a full mission simulation environment. Vehicles will have novel control and autonomous functionality across multiple operational modes: hull-borne, hydrofoil-borne, and wing-borne. (C/C+, DO-178C or DO-254)

Flight Controls: Developing and implementing control law algorithms. Will involve leveraging the interplay between hydrodynamic controls, aerodynamic controls, and distributed propulsion controls. (C/C++ Embedded SW Dev, Aircraft control systems & integrated flight HW)

Avionics: Design, analysis, fabrication, integration and testing of the avionics and electrical systems. Implementing, from start to finish, a digital, fly-by-wire avionics system. Deep understanding of computing, networking, and power distribution hardware specification and selection with the ability to trade and document various options quickly but thoroughly. (Serial networks - CAN, RS485/422, ARINC 429 and ethernet & debugging)

Senior Sensor Fusion: Architect, roadmap, prototype, and realize a perception system to allow our seagliders to perceive the external environment, internal state of the vehicle, and operator intent. Rapidly prototyping innovative perception solutions, performing trade studies and data collection on sensor solutions, and hands on integration of the perception system into vehicles. (C/C++ & Python coding expertise. Hands on experience with sensor selection, evaluation, and integration and expertise in sensor fusion, state estimation, target tracking, and uncertainty modeling)
Look, I'm as anxious about the whole thing as you. We need to start changing our societies in a fundamental level. Like yesterday..
Into the Radius is that game I think.. It is like Stalker Shadows of Chernobyl in VR .. I just think lots of people don't know about it. But its the game
var t: ?i32 = null;

if (t) {

t +=1;

}

This for example doesn't work, you have to capture, many little things like that that stacks up and ends up creating a non-ergonomic syntax

No for loop, so you have to do multilines things like, and now you meet a new : construct, this pseudo for loop now looks confusing to look at

var i: i32 = 0;

while (i < 42) : (i+=1) {

}

Then constant casting between integers, and also floats.. also no operator overload for the math types etc..

Also not a fan of the pointer difference between [] * [:0], too much different nitpicking that makes iterating slow and painful, I understand the benefits, but the way it's done is not enjoyable, at least to me

That's just whats on the top of my head, it's been a while I haven't wrote Zig code so I may be remembering wrong
the commenters of HN are simply so smart that their hunch clearly holds more weight than scientific rigor.
It looks like they very carefully did not claim it to be open source :)

As somebody who typically dislikes the Elastic license, this is really a great use of it:

- it used to be completely closed source, so it's not taking any previous contributions and putting a more restrictive license on it;

- there is clearly quite a bit of thought in choosing this license over something like AGPL (complete with somebody taking to themselves on GitHub), and the license was chosen based on the goals;

- the software in question is really not that useful for non-commercial uses anyway, so people who want to freeload doesn't have that much to stand on

Even though I'm not a user (and don't see myself using it in the future), I'd nevertheless be happy for them and hope they do well :)
The title is confusing. What is a GUI from scratch? A bootloader / mini kernel with framebuffer? A win32 application?

Should probably be something like "Writing a Linux X11 application in assembly".
Yes. Keep the real application on a subdomain, and make your marketing website a simple wordpress install. Minimal effort, and works great if you don't care about authorization / integration between the two.
Bookmarks have management overhead and are too easily forgotten about. For a lot of people tabs serve as a sort of to-do list or with groups, repositories for sites that will briefly be useful for a certain task in the near future. They naturally get closed as they’re done with, eschewing any kind of cleanup step as is necessary with bookmarks.
Thanks for sharing! My list of 12 most useful resources for machine learning quants can be found here:

This list was compiled in 2009 before I took a full time job in an algorithmic trading company, but it's still relevant :) If anything ML is more relevant than ever in trading, except perhaps Deep Neural Nets, Transformers, Large Language Models etc are the norm today.
If the only way to access that land is through the corners of that guys property, by preventing access that way he essentially gets that land for his own personal use.
I've noticed some which only offer an app use WP for their basic web presence/brand landing page.
Doesn’t sound weird to me. In the last 20 years I’ve purchased a comparable number of models. Usually used though since I like to try things out before committing to a platform change. Purchased a surface for my sister. Tried some Lenovo and Dell for Linux computers, tried the M1. Even bought a Chromebook and got Linux running on it.

One consistent limitation is poor upgrade paths. The Chromebook is hilariously nerfed. Ram and disk soldered to the board. I had to buy a big sd card. The Mac not much better. Ram upgrade is impossible. The Dell had coil whine so would have needed a new mainboard.

Hopefully an ecosystem of parts manufacturers will emerge to support the framework community.
If it’s glasses instead of a helmet - that’s already going to remove a lot of friction to put it on and test it

the vast majority of reddit users today do not do anything beyond scroll through default subreddits and the front page, people who curate their own experience to ONLY be what they selected are an extreme minority.
