Gibson took over an audio startup a relative of mine had co-founded. Gibson offered extremely promising terms - funding, keep creative freedom, just deliver cool products.

The startup delivered the products and met the goals -just in time for Gibson to go bankrupt.

Inside Gibson there was endless corporate infighting. - an executive that was championing the acquisition of the startup was fired - the support was basically nonexistant afterwards (no marketing, nothing)

Many questions (especially, but not only, from non-native English speakers) are very unclear and ambiguous already, so I wouldn't be that concerned if the meaning is slightly changed - at the very least, GenAI text tends to be self-consistent.

What is this referring to? As I understand it, the tool being discussed only makes suggestions about the title.
Is Behringer loss-leading? They have invested almost nothing in research and development for their little synths as they use long expired designs that require technology developed decades ago (dirt cheap).

As a part time musician, my take is the opposite of yours. Behringer made instruments that were once owned by a small, non-inclusive wealthy elite (relatively speaking) available to everyone in rich and poor countries. The sheer number of decent quality clones - and I say "clone" as a good thing - they produced will be available in the secondary market for decades to come.

Human social media users get a similarly biased sample of information.

The thing is, there's no objectively unbiased sample of information. You could weight towards tweets or books, NYT or the Economist, arXiv or journals. The books could be bestsellers or classics. There's no right answer, just preferences.

It's pretty common to read about people fully losing access to their Google accounts and often only regaining it by using internal contacts at the company (or being shit out of luck). I don't think even supporters of 2FA can discount how difficult (or impossible) it can be to regain access to 2FA accounts for certain providers.
Ask HN: Best Practices Guides You're Aware Of
Hi HN, may I ask about any best practices guides that you're aware of. It could be about architectures or coding in general. Something like the two below:

- https://12factor.net/

- https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/
There's still some pretty critical components that are used by almost all Linux systems: GNU libc, gcc (+ associated stuff, like binutils, gdb, make, etc), coreutils (+ associated stuff, like bash, grep, tar, etc.), and GRUB.

Even systems like Alpine and OpenBSD use some of that.

And there's a bunch of stuff that's not "critical" but is fairly widely used: gettext, gawk, nano, gpg, parted, R, Emacs.

I agree with your broader point that GNU is "just" one component out of many and
"it should be GNU/Linux/X11/Perl/..." is an old criticism of "GNU/Linux", but the GNU components are certainly more than "terminal utilities for copying files". Stallman gives GNU too much credit, but you're giving it (far) too little.

GNU does not seem to be acquiring new projects at a great rate though, and does seem to be losing influence. The goal of a functional "GNU operating system" is further away than ever because much of it is focused on creating Unix circa 1989, which is not very "functional" for most people's meaning of that term. One reason for this is that there's not much advantage to being a "GNU project" because it offers very little in material support and risks Stallman coming in and badgering you if you're doing "unethical" things such as merely recognizing the reality that non-free software exists.

(GNU did have a modern desktop environment in GNOME by the way, but Stallman spent 15 years alienating the GNOME developers until they got fed up with him)
Why would (pseudocode, nonexisting but possible example) write(SIGKILL, "/proc/12345/signals") not be possible? For the other direction, there is signalfd in Linux. And of course you can get a peer address from /dev/tcp (https://andreafortuna.org/2021/03/06/some-useful-tips-about-... ). Yes, /dev/tcp is not an OS primitive but a bash builtin, but there isn't really a reason you cannot do this in the OS. Shared memory can be a file, you just have to mmap() it. mmap is always left out of the open/close/read/write-enumeration of the traditional file API, but I think it is actually extremely useful and should be the fifth alongside those.

Debugging is hard to imagine, yes. One could look at /proc/12345/mem, write breakpoints in there, but I'm not sure about how to do the more exotic things.
I seem to have misread this part of the article:

> Wired notes that Apple first tried to secure the fruit trademark in Switzerland in 2017, when it filed an application for a black-and-white depiction of a Granny Smith apple. Indeed, it applied for an image of a whole apple rather than its trademark apple with a bite.

This seems to me like a (intentional?) misunderstanding of trademark law as having a trademark for the grayscale picture of an apple would merely entail that grayscale picture of an apple, not all other apples, nor even necessarily another grayscale picture of a different apple from a different perspective.

What I read into it is that Apple filed for a generic apple trademark rather than either of the pre-existing logos it already owned the trademarks for in other markets.

Given the source's likely bias, I'm inclined to believe the article is written in bad faith and there is no realistic threat to the actual fruit company.
I know other existing projects like this (GitHub profile generators), although I like the idea you can customize the template.

However, it requires quite effort to deploy this one as you need to setup different services for the DB, deployment, etc. Since the data is pushed based on a GitHub action, I'm wondering if it's possible to just build a static site based on it. In the end, we're storing "snapshots" of the data to query them later.
Your first examples weren't rockets, but search engines, video hosting platforms and chatbots.

Second, it's all very well "iterating until you succeed" but that's not a good approach when live humans are involved in the iterating. "Move fast and break things" is not the same as "move fast and break people". Space X, after all, had to prove a certain level of reliability before NASA let them fly people to ISS.
I find it hard to disagree with this post, because the points are so broad, and the claim ("makes your life harder") is so low stakes. Most comments I read on here seem to interpret it as a form of "impossible." Sure you might not have some of those problems if you compile from source for all machines, but that is definitely harder than having pre-compiled options.

Especially if you have to maintain many machines (which is mostly implied in the post, but also explicitly mentioned here and there).

Hosting and maintaining a custom package repository for your self-compiled binaries so you don't have to do it on every single machine manually (maybe compiling everything from scratch might take days or the machine couldn't do it on its own anyways) is also obviously making your life harder.

My personal small scale experience, developing a small service on my laptop and running it on my local pi for testing, already ran into many of the problems. Some packages I wanted to use didn't exist, some containers I used locally weren't available for ARM. Are those unsolvable, or even hard, problems? No. But! They are time sinks that make a very simple thing more complex, more brittle and more annoying, than if I just used a homogeneous x86 setup, even if I were a skilled sysadmin (which I am not) or enjoyed fixing those differences and maintaining the fixes (which I do not).
The title is quite deceptive. Reading the Wired article, Apple seems to be pursuing a trademark in Switzerland on a depiction of an apple (without bite mark, and in black-and-white). The Swiss authorities granted this but only on limited product categories. Apple filed an appeal about this, which is ongoing.

Now, the Fruit Union is fear-mongering / spreading the message that, if this appeal is granted, they would be forced to change their logo. However, it seems there is no direct threat from Apple to the Fruit Union. Also, it seems unlikely Apple's appeal will actually be granted, as there is "a legal principle that declares generic pictures of common goods to be in the public domain".
They already did in 2015, when they (unsuccessfully) sued a.pl (polish online grocery store) for their domain name.
It's generating content based on the previous content it encountered - just like a human. As such, it's only plagiarism if a human passes it as their own work (same as they would with a human ghost writer), but then it's the human plagiarising rather than the AI.
There should be. So it can be turned off when the element is not visible.
These are all good answers by the way thank you. Isn't there like an "emergency transponder beacon" or something (like aircraft have?) that ships and submersibles must have? Why can't this be used?
It's less interesting because decoding decimal numbers with regex is a much more impressive feat.

If Apple want to argue that the logos are confusingly similar, well OK then: the newer company should be obliged to change their logo.
An insightful comment from the last time this was posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36391803

Basically, if it's possible to consider that fruit company is infringing on Apple, then it is equally possible that Apple is the one infringing on the older company.

In fact, by filing the suit, Apple is implicitly admitting that they are infringing, since they would not have filed if they didn't believe the logos could be confused, and since the other company is older...

I'm sorry for her, but why do you think she's entitled to eternal earnings over this invention? When husbands die, the widow is lucky if they left behind savings and some real estate - that's what one should expect.

If this invention is so good, the original Curtis could have used his earnings at the time to buy other durable assets instead of expecting the invention to be giving dividends forever. Let's remember that every invention builds on top of many other invention that are leveraged free of cost (like the transistor in this case).

Trademark law requires you to defend your trademark, otherwise you risk loosing it, therefore by law, to ensure you remain owners of the trademark, you MUST pursue any possible infringements.
The world is too complicated for me to learn about how TOTP works, who supports it, how smartphones work, how password manager works, etc. All I want is an ability to use login/password with neither extra knowledge nor extra property nor having extra installed software (cookies, password manager) on the computer I am accessing the website from. Let 2FA will remain for those who really want it as it was 10 years ago.
sometimes I wonder if the edges of articulated desire may always be essentially binary / quantitative, meaning that slow yes / nos are in fact the best way for us to grapple with them, and systems that allow us a set of these yes/no buttons are in fact a reflection of ourselves and not a requirement of the machine. So long as we are builders, I think we'll have buttons. even in transhumanist cyberspace perhaps. Still waiting on peer review for that one though

Yes because electron comes with its own distinct instance of chrome (usually an outdated version) for each individual app, introducing massive overhead versus running on the OS provided browser engine.
Personally, I think we will move beyond blockchains. There are new technologies out there (DAG, HashGraph, and our own: Intercloud). There is also "sidetree protocol" that is used to secure Merkle trees with a blockchain, used by Microsoft's DID-compliant new ION for identity, and also I think by bluesky. But at the moment, Blockchain is widespread, kind of like PHP is widespread.

Polygon is probably going to be the winning provider of the space: https://community.intercoin.app/t/polygon-overtakes-ethereum... (although there are smaller ones, such as Arbitrum, Cardano)

I imagine that, in the future, we will simply have an "embarrassingly parallel" set of append-only logs, which is already possible with projects like Hypercore. And we will run consensus with those.

As for your question - the way you have secret voting is by using ring signatures. (Monero has ring signatures.) You just have to indicate that you're part of a group, and that you used your one vote, but it doesn't say who you are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_signature

This was known since 2004, and doesn't require blockchains in fact: https://eprint.iacr.org/2004/281.pdf

A blockchain-based way would be to use a mixer (like Tornado Cash does) to mix up the tokens so each person still has exactly 1 but now it's harder to trace who has which one.
Minor nitpick. Much of the RPC in Windows predates (D)COM. I think it's closer to vanilla DCE RPC.
I have a litmus test for conspiracy theories that proved reliable over time:

Does whatever the illuminati/deep state/lizard people are up to preserve the status quo?

If not, it's likely bullshit. If they have enough power to keep everything a secret, they would rather keep things the way they are.

Of course things can be bullshit even if they pass this test.

And here's the kicker: a huge part of society likes the status quo. Think whatever cartoon villain stuff oil companies did over the past decades. Most people don't care.
Our abilities to pay attention are limited. Not so our abilities to receive it - Michael Goldharber

The Attention Economy accidentally came into being taking advantage of the inequality above without anyone knowing about the inequality itself.

People have a need for attention. Advertisers have a need for attention for their products. The platforms had a need for cash to keep all their freebies running (search, chat, video, social, email, streaming etc) and make sense/filter down exploding Information the internet produced.

These 3 needs accidentally came together, with no one having any clue about Goldharbers inequality and we get the absurdity that currently exists.

The original problem being solved - how to handle the info explosion was forgotten. Everyone got side tracked into how to capture attention. And then they got rich.

The question today is knowing much more abt the inequality and still facing the ever increasing Info overload problem, how do we build better less exploitative systems?
There's a relatively thin layer between the papers and implementations, which is another way of saying this stuff is still for researchers and assumes a requisite level of background with them. It sounds like you'd benefit from seeking out the first party sources.

This is where video demonstrations come in handy. Since many concepts are novel, it's uncommon to find anyone who deeply understands them, but it's very easy to find people who have picked up on some tricks of the interfaces, which they're happy to click through. I think gradio/automatic1111 makes learning harder than it needs to be by hiding what it's doing behind its UI, while eg- comfyui has a higher initial learning curve but provides a more representational view of process and pipelines.

When it comes to discussing intellectual property laws, it's important to remember where they came from.

I live in High Wycombe, a market town in the South East of England. In the nineteenth century, Wycombe was known as the centre of chair manufacturing. The chairs were initially transported by barge down the Wye and Thames Rivers to Windsor, where they were sold, and consequently became known as Windsor chairs. They were exported across the British Empire and to America, and were very popular.

The chair trade in Wycombe started in a particularly cold winter, when it was too cold for the farmhands to work outdoors. The farmhands were taught how to make the round parts of the chairs by the town wheelwright (who otherwise made wheels for the carts made by the town cartwright). In recognition of this, a wheel design was cut into the backs of the chairs as a decorative device. This design became the distinguishing mark of a chair made in Wycombe.

A chair factory opened in Birmingham, but found that their chairs didn't sell as well... until they started adding the wheel design into their chairs. Business was good for the Birmingham factory, until some of the Wycombe lads paid them a visit. Strong words were had, but the Birmingham factory continued making chairs with wheel designs for a few weeks, until the factory mysteriously burned down in the middle of the night.

The wheel design functioned as an early trademark: it clearly and unambiguously attested the provenance of the item. Trademarks are a consumer protection mechanism: it is the buyer who needs to know the provenance of the item in the absence of a trustworthy seller.

To the man on the Clapham omnibus[0], the presence or absence of the wheel design was the only attestation to the chair's origin: this trademark was a necessary innovation. However, if the gentleman from Clapham is unable to distinguish between an apple grown in Switzerland and a piece of computing machinery manufactured in China according to a design from California, one wonders whether a trademark would be of any help to him.

Linux Kernel userland ABI/API is very stable, and backward compatible: you can take a binary compile for Linux 1.0 and run it today. The same applies for CPU instruction, backward compatibility means stuff targeting i686 instruction sets will run on today CPU.

However, if you need more modern stuffs, then obviously you need a higher minimum version. For example, some software require SSE; or docker will only run on a modern Linux kernel.
It sounds a lot like marketing jargon to my ears. Not just the ridiculous name but the vague description- and obvious fact that even if it works it certainly isn’t bailing you out at depths where the craft is most likely to fsil.

I’m surprised those who paid to ride were not more atuned to this.

I am probably looking at it from a too high-level perspective, but the RESTful paradigm was widely adopted in every domain and proved that you can model pretty much any concept as resources, with CRUD primitives and hyperlinks between them.

Wouldn't the same be applicable to files, processes, devices and so on?
How to Avoid Technical Debt?
Which Swiss law are you referring to?
I see no problem with that so long as it's fit for the purpose. You can bring 2 spares and have a controller and two spares for $90. Or you can bring a fresh one on each trip to spend $30 per trip to have zero concerns for any corrosion or similar that could happen in these environments.

Once you start doing the opposite: special-puprose building a fixed controller, you have to deal with all the issues that arise. It needs to handle corrosion, you need redundancy etc. It's going to cost thousands. The question asked should be "why should we not use the cheap off the shelf solution" and only choose something else when there is a good reason.
I use GNU Hyperbola as my main OS. Is not that I am a GNU/Linux hater.

But 9front has good points to borrow from.

Cross GCC (or clang) sucks a lot compared to [1-9]c compilers by a huge margin.
Current compilation suites are brain damaged. Don't get me started on cross compiling packages for foreign archs and hunting bugs. Or the compat32 disaster on Debian and derivatives like Trisquel/Ubuntu. Slackware does it fine, tho.

Also, I hope that FS from ori_b gets ported into the future Hyperbola BSD.
