The most “important component”, what does that even mean? Do they mean task? Isn’t the most important thing to deliver results? Which could mean working software or aborting bad projects

So... sections of the comments here have made some assertions about the history of Unix and Mach (and I guess Leenucks by extension) which aren't supported by the factual record. As a service, I have posted a link to the Wikipedia page on the history of Unix over here:

It might be useful to ask questions or make comments about Unix, Mach, Leenooks, Solaris, HPUX, IRIX, ConvexOS, AIX, A/UX or plain ol' SVR4 over there. Or heck... keep doing it here. I'm not your mother. Just seems off topic for this discussion so I spun up another thread over there.

I understand their desire to become profitable as a business, but the way Reddit has gone about this does not fill me with confidence regarding any hypothetical IPO they may be considering.

An executive openly attacking community members and developers, some of whom originally wrote the app that Reddit the bought to brand as their official one, as ‘not the intended users’ of the API is just misleading. They clearly saw value in having an app and bought one, one which wouldn’t have existed without API access, and which Reddit had previously heralded as a first class feature. Now they claim apps are a misuse of their api and they intended it for bots and tools only as part of their reasoning, and it just makes their whole argument seem poorly thought out.

At the end of the day, they own their platform, and can do what they like, but this attitude will cost them some of their most active contributors who decide it’s not worth putting up with their now bloated official experiences.

Also the repeated claims that third party apps strip ads is just plain wrong. Reddit has never included ads in the API nor provided a way to show ads on reddits behalf.

Applying those carbon content levels to the vehicle efficiencies, including as a reference the Honda combusted natural gas and Honda fuel cell natural gas vehicles, the hands down winner is pure electric

iPhone software quality and performance is way ahead of Android. I am all for open source, even partial, like in case of Android, if there is no other choice. But the Android architecture and code quality, especially apps, is absolutely horrible. We need something like iOS but open source. Even if it runs on top of Linux kernel, just with a proper system and user-level environment.
>to “hide” the memory of the pain like a circumcision.

That's a pretty positive spin you put on lobotomizing a person, and stripping them of their human experience. What you're describing genuinely sounds exactly like what is in "Brave New World." If you give people the option of forgetting everything bad whenever they feel like it, like dosing soma, they will literally constantly be doing that, and there's no way that could be a good thing.

I understand the want to eliminate mental illnesses like PTSD and others, but for me personally, this is way overboard.

As for the RFID thing, you're comparing apples to open-brain surgery. A sub-dermal implant, or even more critical devices like pacemakers, are leagues away from a computer in your actual brain.
Love online communities and losing reddit is a huge hit. If hacker news ever goes I honestly don’t know what I’d do.
I agree with you. And in fact I have mostly removed myself from social media. But I can’t help pointing out the irony of sharing this sentiment in what is essentially a form of social media. Doesn’t dilute your point. Just made me smile a little.
I agree with you on websites. But I'm skeptical of this:

> The actual potential "killer app" is something like a holodeck: a movie that it puts you inside of so there isn't any screen at all.

We'll see how this turns out, as Hollywood is doing a lot of VR experimentation. But most modern movies will not translate at all to VR, because they control attention and aesthetic experience very precisely, all based on the constraint of the viewing frame.

I think the experiences compatible with a user looking around as a facehugger display allows will have to be much more like dioramas. They may be very interesting, but they won't be movies.
This is the fate of any federated social, maybe now it is not a big problem and the feature is used properly to moderate spam, but soon it would probably end up like Mastodon, where you can have multiple accounts on different instances, but there are always some instances you cannot access because the moderators have banned a huge list of servers (usually for political reasons) where you have your account, not even .social/.online are safe, and let's not even talk about the biggest Japanese ones.
GCP has Cloud Domains. It's unclear to me what the future of that is.
To the point of providing flat rate pricing at my job. We realized spending an hour or two getting a sign off on an SOW or spending four hours on a discovery call didn't change the time it took to complete in 90% of cases. I can just price my stuff all the same because for the most part, EDI mapping is EDI mapping. If we run into something weird. Yeah. But thats once or twice per quarter.

Meanwhile our ecommerce integration product pricing is all over the place, because there is just so much variation. I am hoping to move that to base pricing for the product + time and materials for consulting.

In a sense my EDI team is busier, less stressed, but less gratified. The web team is always getting a curve ball and its certainly a younger man's game. Or at least someone who's willing to roll with the punches, but the payoff is sweet

First sentence

As if being a federated network wasn't enough of a hurdle for new users, now we have instances blocking each other already.

If you cant make decisions about the sort of traffic your server receives and choose to defederate for pragmatic reasons then your service is not decentralized in fact.

Put another way - if your ideal service is identical to reddit, and each instance is connected to all, then your service is just as centralized. It just has an unusually fussy and bespoke database design.
Great claims require great evidence, but it's still at the level of blurry bigfoot videos and grandma saying she can talk to the dead. It's more than likely we're observing an international relations psyops gambit to waste bullets against inflatable tanks.[0] A conspiracy to plant the idea of wild conspiracy theories seems a more defensible lie because there are enough people who already want to believe in supernatural and exotic explanations than accept reality is more mundane. Tabloid media loves this shit and will happily parrot anything for eyeballs. Many of these so-called alien videos from LANTIRN / FLIR pod have been disproven as phantom reflections causing false targets that move with the optics, and pilots end up chasing their tails.

Would anyone be interested in discussing this paper together, especially through the lens of "how can we schedule algebraic expressions and checkpoint computed progress across a heterogenous pool of consumer/donated machines?"

I'm an infrastructure engineer, mostly focused on databases, data pipelines, ML infra for the past 10-15 years. Even when designing homogenous compute clusters, I had to dig in and understand compiler-level implementations in MLIR and LLVM. I'm not a compiler expert by any measure, but know just enough to be dangerous and curious about (safely) scheduling computations across a pool of volunteers machines. Seems especially important to chew on now, with training of foundational LLM weights costing 7-9 figures.
bombastic statements aside - the division is between EU+India who propose language "to phase out fossil fuels" in some international agreements, versus the USA+Commonwealth who will not accept that language.

Many cars for fuel efficiency or performance.

Very interesting article. It somewhat reminds of current differences in academic philosophy where some distinguish between "analytical" and "continental" schools.
it says "an important", not "most important". It's correct, it is an important.
I really think these kinds of comments are counter productive to people seeing source available software (SAS, OSS, FOSS, or all three). Free to the public but not corporate is clearly not "try before you buy" and is a gross misinterpretation of this. I don't care what Citizens United ruling said, corporations are not the same as people and we should distinguish them as such. This model is in no way functionally similar to closed-source software and the comparison is laughable. The source is right there!

__Stop gatekeeping__

Source available software with commercial licensing still helps the main intended target: hackers, builders, inventors, creators, learners, researchers, pen testers, and so on. Opened source code makes programs safer and encourages creativity. The article is right that you can't just live on donations and pure good will, as much as we'd love to see this you gotta pay the bills. Accountability is low in large societies and social pressure means little. SAS still helps the people, but it also puts restrictions on those that would profit off of your work and leave you high and dry. Comments like these only encourage closed source hardware as well as the lack of free software.

The fucking name OSS confuses people and this has been an utter disaster. Your name should clearly indicate what is being advocated and should not conflict with a reasonable but distinctly different definition (there's a lot of this for some fucking reason). Especially when the reasonable interpretation makes more sense! Even you say that it is in the name only and we see these fights almost weekly here. Words mean what people use them as. I don't care what OSI says, OSS and SAS are the same thing. Corporations lose trademarks as words/phrases enter the lexicon, I don't know why we should defend OSI's inane definition. They have not won the culture war on what the term means.

I think Apple has played it incredibly safe with their announcement, and I did not get excited by the way they presented potential use cases for the device, as they didn’t venture much further than “what if you could have a screen, but then bigger and anywhere in your surroundings?”

But what they did get right was the hardware and operating system itself and the fact that it needs to be boring and “just work”.

As a young 3d artist and software engineer I just desperately want it, and want to develop for it. I want to walk around in my 3d creations and want to let other people experience what I can envision in my head.

While I don’t see it being as big of a leap as the desktop computer, internet or smartphone in terms of _productivity_, I do think enabling creativity is the “killer” app.

Imagine building and playing with an unlimited world like Minecraft or with LEGO bricks, right in your living room :)

Personally I’m building an app that allows me to put my 3D art from Blender into AR on the Meta Quest Pro [0], and it’s so much fun to do. It gives me a childlike joy to walk through my own creations and share them with others.

Anyway, I got a bit carried away, but I feel like HN is quite pessimistic about AR and VR, and want to give some positive counter views.

Let’s be clear, if 1 developer can make millions through Apollo and do a way better app than the Reddit team, what does that say about Reddit as a whole and their development?

It fucking sucks!

Yeah. I certainly didn't think I'd find so many people defending the antithesis of hacking on Hacker News.
The Butcher did not always show up. It just had a 2/3 chance of showing up. It’s easy to test for yourself, because you can restart the game and you only have to walk as far as the cathedral entrance to see if the quest appeared. It always appeared in multiplayer, but the quests are not randomized in multiplayer.

There are 16 quests in 6 groups, and 1 random quest from each of the first five groups is removed.
> Interviewer: I don’t know if I agree with the characterization that Apollo is a fully direct competitor of Reddit.

> Huffman: Okay, hold on, timeout. You go to the App Store, you type in Reddit, you get two options, right? There’s Apollo. You go to one, it’s my business, and you look at our ads, use our products. That’s 95 percent of our iOS users. The rest go to Apollo, which uses our logo, or something like it, takes our data — for free — and resells it to users making a 100 percent margin. And instead of using our app, they use that app. Is that not competitive?

The Reddit strike should go on forever just for that answer alone.

> the analogy feels so off the mark here to be downright misleading.

I mean, come on, you're obviously nitpicking here.

It's not 100% the same, but the parallel between having devices that were basically dumb phones -> internet computers is there, and there was no real indication at the time that a smart phone like blackberry would become a mass market device. None. Zero.

It was a niche device for rich people; most people were, and let's be absolutely honest here, absolutely, perfectly OK with simple feature phones, sending text messages and making calls.

So, the analogy here is pretty clear; once the device existed, it created a market that didn't exist or maybe extended a tiny market that already existed, but come onnnnnnnn, is it really that epic a stretch to imagine that it might happen again? ...can you not imagine this as a gen1 device that improves over time?

It is really so completely different?

I don't think it is.

I'm not convinced it will, but the parallel is not nearly as misleading as you're making it out to be.

Here's what I think is interesting: People want this is fail.

Lots of people. Not because they don't like apple. Not because they don't like VR. They just seem to hate it because its expensive and people are being positive about it and they feel like it's somehow wrong for apple to be:

- Selling something this expensive

- That is a risky bet that might not play out

- That people are willing to talk about favorably on the basis of the Apple brand.

...but, here's the thing right?

1) Who cares? They're rich. Let them fail.

2) Apple has the brand it has because it can deliver, and it has delivered in the past.

What kind of numpy stands here and thinks... "Oh gee, these guys at Apple are stupid. They're never going to sell these. They'll regret this. Look at all their failed products and their unsuccessful business. Haha!"

> I fully understand how much Meta, Apple and others "want to make fetch happen". Many of us are simply just not interested.

...if some people are excited and enthusiastic about it...

...let them be enthusiastic about it?

The 390.x driver series (updated 11/22) supports cards that are at least 13 years old[0]. From a quick glance of available drivers for AMD cards of that vintage the drivers haven't been updated since 2014/2015.

When comparing the last driver release from Nvidia in the 2014-205 range it supports cards going back to at least 2004[1].

In the past several years I've noticed a viewpoint gaining popularity, which is that if you can't be the biggest fish in the pond it's not worth bothering with, which is a quite odd to me. You even see it in online games where the majority of players all pile into a single server, then complain about the problems they've brought upon themselves by doing that (lag, instability, etc) instead of inhabiting a few moderate population servers.
I'm gonna start copy/pasting this every time I see a new website builder pop up.

Look, at a high level no-code seems to make sense. But there's a serious issue with the value proposition when you start thinking critically about it. The supposed benefit is that, as the "no-code" moniker suggests, people without coding skills can build websites. Sounds great!

Except that just, like, look at the screenshot in the hero section webstudio's landing page. There's a visual sidebar with a flexbox configuration panel. The word "flex" is displayed as a dropdown, so I'd imagine that the menu list contains other options like "grid", "block", etc.

This means your target audience is people who (a) understand the difference between CSS display properties, and (b) think that this interface is easier and faster than writing the code directly. I genuinely do not understand who this audience is - if you understand code, code is dramatically faster than any UI and everyone who codes knows it.

I've worked with a non-technical CEO, and I once showed him Webflow to see if he could grasp it. It went as well as you'd imagine. That's not me making fun of him, it's me pointing out the reality that this shit is complex, and tossing a UI on top of it doesn't change that complexity.

Another point is that even if it helps speed up web development, it can only do so for very small websites with light interaction. If you're looking to do anything even remotely custom or sophisticated, these kinds of tools break down very fast. So there's a paradox here - the stuff you can speed up really doesn't take very long anyways, and the stuff you actually need to speed up, these tools don't help with.
This kind of stuff is the future, but it would be much better if they targeted custom MLIR dialects instead of creating yet another incompatible compiler stack.

>Does it work though? Hell yes it does.

I've been in those conversations before, and it kind of feels like it is what it is. I've learned to bury the lede in those situations so if the convo is not fitting into their speed dating schedule, then it's just not someone I want to be around. I've seen this a lot with Hollywood wanna be types at "mixers" where they have investors, writers, director types all at a bar hoping a pitch lands for further discussion. Same thing with industry parties in the ad world. Constant stories of one-ups that are just gross in that world. The swimming with sharks aspect is very creepy. They will absolutely key into information and either steal an idea or steal a client or both.
Last time I tied Solaris and Illumos/SmartOS at the hip in a comment someone from the Illumos camp responded adamantly that while they were based on Solaris, they were their own thing evolving their own direction. I dunno, I'm not so much involved in the Solaris world anymore (having started on SunOS 3.5), but I suppose I take them at their word.
