> You're right, FLOSS phones currently aren't good. But they finally exist, and that's enough for me to be excited about

Also people forget that android is still FLOSS. You don't need to be running upstream/mainline linux to be FLOSS. It's mentioned kinda off hand as "oh well running android without google sucks" in the article but graphene OS has proven that you can get a very pleasant, well ironed, and secure/hardened user oriented phone while using FLOSS for basically everything except some firmware level blobs for high end phones. And FDroid proves that we can have 90-95% of all the quality apps we could need without even installing anything google dependent (even FCM push notifications which were historically limiting can be replaced with unifiedpush) That experience contrasts with the "FLOSS phones" like the librem or pine phone which show that you can get most if not all of the hardware working without firmware blobs even if the software up the stack sucks.

So what is stopping us from just starting with one of the generic AOSP targets for graphene os and focusing it for one of these FLOSS targets?

Do we just not have the specs in the hardware with decent FLOSS support? If that's the case, doesn't that mean we are quite literally steps from the finish line?

The cloud compute market is probably 1000x? bigger than the domain market right now and will continue to widen that gap since it is on a different growth curve. It's certainly possible that Google or AWS will be forced to divest their cloud business into a separate entity or sell it by shareholders or regulators, but it's not going anywhere and it might work a lot better with more focused leadership.
It wouldn't surprise me if Apple has spent more time and money on the iOS keyboard than Purism spent on the entire phone + software.

Did you miss that Google Cloud Domains is going down with this sale? It's not about drawing parallels, they're literally shutting down a core part of GCP.

I thought ROCm was in half abandoned limbo.

Hmm... for all of the (very valid) criticisms of ROCm, I don't think I've heard anybody suggest that it's "half abandoned". From what I've seen, AMD have been working on it regularly and it seems to be pretty strategic to them. They just published a new documentation site, and the various Github repos get commits more or less constantly.

Of course one can quibble about the value of the output of all of this activity, but to their credit, they appear to be giving a serious effort here.
In my first few hours with DiffusionBee I made a couple of very credible semi-abstract portraits by mashing up the styles of unrelated artists. And some splashy watercolours. And some logo line art.

And the inevitable booby cheesy rendered forest fairy.

I don't think they're terrible at all. They absolutely can make original art with decent production values.

They can't write text yet, but I'm sure that's coming soon.
People are latching onto the logitech controller, but I think it's low on my concerns list. Controllers are relatively robust, and they stated they had backups, and could surface without any control input by manually dumping the ballast.

Much more concerning are the potential flaws in the carbon fiber hull, as disclosed during the David Lochridge lawsuit (mentioned in another thread), the rumoured lack of surface radios, the limited communication with the surface, the lack of any exits, and even the use of carbon fiber (which is strong in tension, good for high pressure tanks, but weak in compression -- not what I'd want for a submarine under massive compression)

Interesting in that thread that they mention that Google Cloud’s DNS service uses Google Domains NS records, and they haven’t said whether that is going away or not. I only use Google Cloud for personal stuff, but I know that I would cry if AWS suddenly said “there’s no longer a way to get public DNS names for your services through our tooling” at work.
US Dollar has value largely because the United States government is legally obligated to accept it to settle debts.
Yeah my understanding is that it was not profitable either. The founder claimed he was losing money and to his credit, he ate the cost on the previous failed missions (of which there are a shockingly high number of).

There was one article I read last year (don't have it here) where he claimed his hard costs were $1M per voyage to cover fuel and consumables. So the $250k buy-in was literally a break-even on his expenses (he carries 4 passengers paying the fee, plus himself in the sub). None of that covers any R&D and he had some very respectable people working for him, including engineers from Boeing, NASA, and Northdrop Grumman. So we can assume those were hefty salaries for his R&D team.

I'm sure they were scrappy too, hence the "cobbled" together nature of things. But it does seem like this was a true startup in ever sense of the word.

Unfortunately it might be leaning closer to the Theranos type of startup where he might have oversold his capabilities to keep the ball rolling and investors happy.
Ah, I love when someone gets it! What design has come to is beyond sad, it’s revolting.
iOS 17 is extremely exciting. On phone AI like the keyboard is exactly why I have an iPhone after using android for a decade+.
I couldn't read the article because it's paid content, but I'd definiteley spam [x] to doubt. Apple is a hardware company and maybe a case could be made its a services company. It might be aspirationally positioning itself to benefit from AI but its not an AI company. Its kind of like a few years ago when everyone was "big data" or a "cloud company". AI is primarily going to be a technique or a feature. Yes companies like OpenAI may develop a superior model and API but primarily there won't be many pure AI companies. A lot of people are talking about AI for Law or AI for doctors. I don't think this will happen, much like Uber for [x] or Google for [x] really only materialized in some very narrow verticals.
Good. I've been looking for a Slack alternative

Slack's app broke the basic functionality of the main input box where the home and end keys jump to the start and end of the entire input rather than the current line. This turns simple text edits into a chore. I pointed this out to their support staff who responded that the issue wasn't important enough for them to fix. Very disappointing
Honestly you're best off getting a Pixel and flashing it with AOSP.
If he resigned then it's plausible to speculate that he was trying to avoid liability, but he was fired. Someone didn't want him to do his job regardless of what he himself wanted.
> I don't think I have been wrong? Like I said, the ability to actually buy stuff with Bitcoin is in decline. I'd change my mind if I saw evidence of increasing Bitcoin adoption in the real economy.

Based on what evidence exactly? Consider that an entire nation state has since adopted it as its national currency, along the USD in the last 3 years; that means it works in parallel with the USD. Not to mention that merchant adoption, while as you said may be in decline (citation needed), what you have instead is more and more commerce being dealt with on LN: as was always intended due to network bloat.

Listen, I get HN is entirely averse to BItcoin at this point (look at my post histpory, I prove it time and time again it's based on stuborness rather than fact), what I fail to understand is why you persist in this folly in thiking becasue it doesn't work for YOU, you assume no one else has any use for it.

Again, most here who work in tech are not c-level corps or founders so you don't understand very much about the narrow mechanics of day to day because you are not rewarded for doing so, and quite frankly are paid very well for your ignorance on these matters.

But try to understand that if even China has backed off with Hong Kong dealing with BTC, you have to come to terms with the fact that adoption in trackable and metric based analytics are out the window at this point. Exchanges are one way to track transaction volume and that has been as healthy (perhaps more so, I don't know I'm not a trader) than it was 5-6 years ago. I know this because I was there, helping scale this tech and giving it more usecases that even it's most ardent proponents couldn't see and used similar points of view as you are making now (hence USAF and it's MANY forks before that).

You are wrong, and the fact that you can't even admit that possibility is what makes your point even more invalid because you refuse to see a contrary POV.
> This is known as idempotency.

No? Idempotency is ensuring that calling the same function with the same input N times will have the exact same effect as calling it once. Adding this defer does _not_ guarantee idempotency, because it has no impact on the body of the script. You can provide just as much idempotency by running `rm -rf /tmp/$script_dir*` on the first line.

Agreed - I'm working at a place that's switching from GitHub to GitLab because it's cheaper (or was when the project was started; maybe still is because GitLab can replace a couple of other tools as well). The checklist looks impressive but I find myself thinking "GitHub does this better" a lot of the time.
First of all, I would love to hear how you ended up in that business. Do you silkscreen or make actual shirts or what?

Second, is there some kind of website you have to determine the cheapest shipping that day?

Thanks much!
Knowing Google, it was probably a feature that someone didn’t think was important enough in a UI refresh to spend time on and was added now because the team happened to have time (or the interns have started).
I've been giving Fleet a try every now and then and am looking forward to it becoming a full-featured stable product.

At the moment there is no extension/module system so it's not really a replacement for the million little jobs I have vscode open for, but I'm a Jetbrains Full Product license holder and use their main IDEs so I will definitely be happy to replace vscode with Fleet when the time comes.
I also don't see how this is different from devcontainers, which are like codespaces, but without it being hosted on a server.
There is a lot to worry about here...

- Text to video is improving rapidly and will likely have a "Stable Diffusion 1.5" moment, and are one finetune away from abuse.

- "Legitimate" txt2img (and llm) porn is a big business now and is hard to seperate from this.

- The filters are quite zealous and non pornographic users tend to disable them anyway, if they can.

> makes it illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.

I believe that question has been answered.
Is it because of tracking protection/fingerprinting protection being on by default?
Google’s founders still own a controlling interest in the company. They don’t have to listen to the board.
They did have multiple emergency methods to surface. Neither those, nor a beacon help if it imploded under pressure.
>But pmOS really suffers from reliability issues – both on edge and on stable it seemed like every update broke some things and fixed others, [...] such as the media controls on my bluetooth headphones breaking [...] major showstoppers such as broken phone calls, SMS, [...] all of my icons disappearing from the UI

I would be surprised if these issues were because of pmOS and not because of Alpine. For example everything involved with bluetooth headphones or with calls or with SMS is in Alpine, with the exception of one ALSA UCM config file from the pmOS device-pine64-pinephone package that hasn't changed since 2021. In the ~2 years that I've had my PP (running pmOS Edge), the only time phone calls were broken were because of pipewire updates in Alpine repo. SMS has never broken. I don't use bluetooth headphones so I can't say anything about that.

Alpine is maintained somewhat "amateurishly" compared to other distros. Eg one of the main Alpine devs frequently makes commits to the packages repo without any sort of merge request or review process, which sometimes introduces new bugs and they then make more commits to fix. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, quite the opposite; it's just what the dev culture is, and it means fixes and changes go in quickly without bureaucracy etc. (And I'm pretty sure ddevault is aware of this.) Also while Alpine does involve pmOS folks in discussions about issues that might affect them (and many of the pmOS folks are also Alpine folks), things do slip through the crack many times, like the pipewire issue I mentioned and many others.

At the same time I expect these things to happen on edge but not on stable, so I'm surprised that he says he experienced them on stable too. I only use Edge myself so I can't say for certain.

In any case, to the overall point of having a phone that is 24/7/365 reliable at calls and SMS, I agree that "PinePhone running pmOS Edge" will not meet that requirement, for both software and hardware reasons.

Why would a bespoke one- or few-of-a-kind controller be better than a commercial one?

The commercial controller has statutory requirements to provide warranty and would financially damage the company if it had a high failure/return rate.

I thought the idea of using it in Bluetooth mode was sketchy, but the selection of a commercial controller didn’t bother me.
Why does it have /^1?$/ ? Wouldn't that accept 0 and 1 as primes?
I really wish they had spun off Cloud as an alphabet company with Kurian at the head (he is CEO of Google Cloud, which isn't a CEO because Sundar is his boss), and transferred all the Cloud employees to the spinoff.

(I'm a xoogler, worked in cloud and launched actual products in it, and I strongly prefer AWS. I still don't think Cloud- specifically, GCE and GCS- will go away but I do expect them to continue trimming all the "barely profitable" services)
I skimmed it but didn’t see, do they say why they didn’t use Compose for Desktop? Seems strange not to use the UI library being developed at the same company.
I'm going to wait for the actual announcement from Google on that.
> Most participants in the research reported that the cost of living had become unsustainable before they lost housing, reporting a monthly median household income of $960 in the six months prior to homelessness.

I don't think $960 could afford 6 months of rent along with other daily expenses, regardless of where you live in the US. I get that the rent is high, but that income isn't going to support you anywhere, so it's not true to say homelessness is primarily caused by high rents.
> Says the same thing to people in the US (and elsewhere??) that drive in the freeway's fast lane holding everyone up for MILES.

You are right. I mistakenly failed to pay the parking meter on time 7 or 8 years and was issued a ticket. Of course I threw myself at the mercy of the courts; a simple mix up of days I pleaded. It was not the statutory holiday I thought it had been that would have waived the parking fees. And I paid my ticket immediately. But they would have none of it. So unforgivable was my crime, so heinous, so far murder or rape, that there could only be one punishment that could be appropriate for my sin; to be executed.

I await on death row now. The chosen method of execution is to be killed by old age 60 or 70 years from now, being withered and worn by the ravages of time. Most cruelly in the interim, I am expected to work a 37 hour work for 48 weeks out of the year in grueling conditions. A climate controlled office with an ergonomic chair in front of a computer with Visual Studio Code open.

Sometimes it seems like if it would not have been kinder to simply kill me there and then. Those days I ask myself why they keep me here. Just to suffer?

tl;dr

No accidents, no claims, no criminal activity on record except the one parking ticket. I don't pretend to comprehend why the quotes are that way for me.

In comparison my current SUV is $1100 a year same level of coverage as that quote. Just for fun I got a quote for an 2022 Acura NSX a while ago and it was $1500 a year, and the NSX is quite a bit more expensive then a Model 3.
I tried, it didn't work. The upgrade hangs and then never completes. Known issue apparently. Plus git on WSL2 has had a lot of issues in the past to make me not want to upgrade. Also worth mentioning that using portable VM disks is easier with other softwares than it is with WSL.

I encourage you to re-read the article: you check that the number does not match the regex:

> Is 7 prime?
>
> To know this, the function first generates “1111111” (from “1” \* 7) and tries to
> see if that string does not match /^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/. If there is no match, then
> the number is prime.
>
> Notice that the regular expression has two parts (separated with the vertical bar |).
>
> The first part is /^1?$/ is trivial and matches with beginning of line (^), an
> optional 1 (1?) and end of line ($) which implies that it matches either the
> empty string or “1”. This simply indicates that calling that function with n==0
> or n==1 will correctly return false (as the “1” \* n will match with the first
> part of the regular expression)

I agree that the article formatting is a bit misleading.
