Is there any way to "correctly" answer that question that isn't just made up bullshit, especially for a fast food restaurant?

I think it's hilarious being asked this question when I'm in early discussions with a company that reached out to me.
> I went through Stanford CS in the mid-1980s, just when it was becoming clear that expert systems were a flop. The faculty was in denial about that. It was sad to see.

It's interesting how this appears to be a recurring cycle - when I attended school, it appeared that the faculty were in denial about the death of probabilistic graphical models and advanced bayesian techniques in favor of simple linear algebra with unsupervised learning. Even when taught about deep ML, there was heavy emphasis on stuff like VAE which had fun bayesian interpretations.
This is cool for Pixels, but the problem with the Android ecosystem is that most people are running customized OS images from the manufacturer (Samsung, Huawei etc). These images will also frequently contain insecure bloatware from telcos that can't be installed.
How do you plan to expand the functionality? I've been looking for a more modern alternative to OpenCV for a while - especially replacements some of the aged object tracking functions, there's been a wad of new stuff coming out that OpenCV has been slow to implement.
It's an interesting question, but it's the opposite of the one I usually ask.

Software should be open source. "Why try to monetize?" would be the question I'd ask myself.
It's a little unfair to blame it on GPL. If ZFS was MIT/BSD/etc licensed, it could be brought into the Linux repository just fine. CDDL explicitly doesn't let that happen, by saying "Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms of this License". That only is harsh.
Apple's Game Porting Toolkit (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10123/) is essentially Proton for macOS. However, they've bizarrely restricted its use to testing your own games, and don't offer it as a general Proton-like solution for playing Windows games on macOS. You can't ship a game that uses it.

Does this mean that uBOL is less capable and can't block certain ads? Is this expected to be eventually remedied?
I don't think you fully read the post I was replying to. I was just saying that that poster's argument against changing the sorting algorithm was misguided.

Quote:

> will be reviewed and tested by 200 people before it reaches production

I was only saying that this is a bad argument for changing to any simple-ish sorting algorithm. (Because: add tests if you need assurance)

Granted, if you're doing super-complicated sorting algos with fallbacks for different sizes, heuristics for detecting semi-sorted input, etc. you might want something more sophisticated than trivial property-based checking.
In RISC OS that was optional. There was a setting[1] in NVRAM which set whether or not to look for a boot device, and what that boot device was (floppy disc, hard disc, network).

I don't remember what happened if you configured it to look for extra boot files on a floppy disc, but the drive was empty. I think it would give up very quickly (1-2 seconds), as it was a normal way to load a program on the earlier BBC computers — insert the program disc, which would be bootable, and press the key combination (Shift+Break) to reset.

"Podules" (expansion cards) could also map extra modules into the OS from their own ROM, usually the required device drivers for the card.

> They made a half-hearted attempt to port it to Linux but did so using Wine(lib) which back then was very rough, so Kylix had a poor UX and of course the problem was that the Delphi widget toolkit was the Windows toolkit which Linux didn't have.

I think the UX was fine as it was made to work with KDE1/Qt1 which was very Windows-like (in appearance and behavior) at the time, but the real issue was that instead of trying to make VCL work crossplatform (like Lazarus' LCL does) they made a different framework (IIRC it was called CLX) which used Qt1 and was very incompatible.

They released a free version with the limitation that your program had to be GPL, though at the time it was fine as GPL wasn't the boogieman it is today. Sometimes i wonder if Borland had released the entirety of Kylix under GPL and thus gained mindshare among open source programmers at a time when Linux had started becoming more popular among programmers if things would be different for Delphi - if nothing else it wouldn't be seen as some ultra-expensive tool that people only use because they have no way to move away from. At the time Borland made money from enterprises (which would buy the expensive enterprise version anyway) and proprietary desktop software developers (which wouldn't use the GPL version anyway) so having Delphi as a GPL'd program wouldn't affect them much but instead have the tool's mindshare expand and even have developers help Borland fix bugs with their framework and improve their compiler.

I was thinking that a couple of years ago when i tried the free version of Kylix under my Linux installation and it failed to work with all sorts of errors despite my efforts - but errors that should be simple to fix if the source code was available. Then i tried it in a VM running some Linux version from the early 2000s and it worked, which made me think how nice it'd be if it was a GPL'd software i could modify.

After that nostalgia session, i deleted the VM, downloaded the latest version of Lazarus and fixed the Gtk1 support[0] because i could as that is open source (ok ignore the broken images, that is because the shot is from a few months ago when i tried to remove the gdk_pixbuf dependency, normally they look fine but that is the only screenshot i had around :-P). FWIW the fixes were merged in (and i made some extra fixes since then).

I disagree. Can't imagine how we'd do it, but I disagree.
I don't believe the full version is planned to be replaced by this one. I think this is basically since they did the work to get this version that would work in Chrome after they reduce the permissions available to adblockers, they just launched it for firefox too in case anyone is really bothered by ublock's permissions.
Perhaps unknown to the HN community is that C# periodically gets Delphi features reintroduced in it in one way or another.

More recently, C# 9 and 10 have returned the concept of `records` (preferably immutable objects) along with the `with` keyword for making copies with some of the properties changed from the source to the dest object.

It has been an interesting decade watching HN metaphorically (and sometimes literally i'm sure) shift around uncomfortable in their chair as the all-encompassing-nightmare M$FT creates two languages that are more and more dominating of developer marketshare - C# and TypeScript.
Must be the formative years spent in the nineties' contradiction field of "counter culture vs also counter culture, but counter culture that's on MTV": there's something about prompts ending with tag references like "award winning photo for vanity fair" (or whatever the promptist's standard tag suffix turns out to be in these posts) that inspires a very deep desire in me to not be part of this generative image wave.

Agreed, but even that is vulnerable to software bugs around snapshotting itself.
Seems like it'd be easier to get throat choking regulation in place before ownership is consolidated into a small number of people with deep pockets, vast resources, and disproportionate influence. The nice thing about policy is that it can be applied to huge numbers of entities instantly. Why risk creating behemoths too big to fight before you even start?
True, but treating a network as a single computer is not something we can easily do even now. You can't easily run Firefox, Slack, LibreOffice, and Thunderbird on a desktop cluster (Think a couple NUC boards tied together) without lots of installation and configuration (and network trickery to fool X clients).

Having said that, this seems like a natural evolutionary path for the Boxes OS.
Physics education focuses on exciting areas of research. There isn't much interesting work currently taking place in fluids. We consider it a solved problem. The fact that we drive cars through fluids is completely irrelevant.

The second half of derivative worlds is creating an imitation of the original not just looking at it, but this isn’t some grey area.

Even just training the model requires someone to copy the original work from somewhere and store it into a database to use to train the model. If they don’t have permission to make that copy then it’s commercial copyright infringement independent of anything done by the model after that point.

Thus the companies themselves are frequently breaking the sale even if nobody ever uses these systems.

There was an earlier discussion today about an NYT article that made a flailing attempt to pretend university is still relevant.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37210942
I commented that it's lost relevant because it's been given over completely to administrators. This article is a great supporting data point. Why would an employer (other than one focused only on process and conformity like a government) care if a prospective employee had gone through this BS. And how otherwise does it prepare people to be members of learned society?

The highlight of the fact that large org adoption is slow feels really valuable here. Especially when we just recently had all of the articles that claimed that ChatGPT was "over" when it appears that this is mostly because of things like summer vacations with students. The adoption and understanding of these products and the risk involved with hallucinations is something that will take time to understand.

I recently joined one of the LLM provider companies and watching these phases over the next few years will be really interesting. Especially combined with what's going on with regulation and the like.

I feel the same way about cloud custodian and starting stacklet, but I also put stuff into a foundation, so that it has proper survivability beyond the org, irrespective of the org's decisions (Ala hashicorp), and true survivability and impact on an oss project means getting past individual contributor bus factor.
I'd claim that I'm technically correct - you _cannot_ mindlessly copy-paste `$-prefixed` code into a terminal and have it execute, because the `$` will result in a syntax error - but you are, indeed, correct to say that it is possible the _then_ mindlessly delete the `$` without thinking about the rest of the content. But it's another prompt, at least!

The details page [1] of the transparency log explains the exact threat model that they are trying to address with this:

> Transparency systems can be used to detect—and thus deter—supply chain attacks. Let's address some examples:

Suppose an attacker maliciously modifies a Pixel image and even manages to sign it with the key that Google owns. Anyone who receives the malicious image can query the binary transparency log to verify the image's authenticity. The user will find that Google has not added the corresponding image metadata to the log and will know not to trust the compromised image. Since publishing to the log is a separate process from the release process with signing, this raises the bar for the attacker beyond just compromising the key.

So effectively, this seems to secure against malicious actors messing with Google's (or AOSP's) own build process, i.e. by somehow inserting an MITM between the build and the signing stage.

I don't know how Google's or AOSP's build systems are set up, but I'd suspect that not many entities are able to mount a successful supply chain attack on internal networks. So (conspiracy hat on), I wonder if there is something more behind this, i.e. some recent hacking incident or a warning of one.

> Could someone explain if this provides any value over signature check in the bootloader?

If every release has its checksum entered into an immutable log, and can't be installed if it's not in the log, it makes it somewhat detectable if someone infiltrates, tricks or forces Google into signing a backdoored version for a targeted attack.

It's unlikely anyone would infiltrate Google to make a custom-signed image to target me - but if you were Obama or Trump or Snowden or Khashoggi you might be worried about that.

I say "somewhat detectable" because if there was an unexplained signed update logged, Google could just say "sorry, bug/misclick/new guy" and that'd sound plausible to a lot of us.
If we are applying Occam’s razor then the reason that they are letting the IP rot unused must be because there’s more value in doing so than there is to use it. Business don’t burn 9 figures by mistake usually and the fact they haven’t sold it off to recoup their losses tells me they didn’t make a mistake and the IP rotting unused is exactly where they want it to be and that it was worth the cost to get it. Companies will sell off losses to use the funds elsewhere. They don’t sit on assets that are worthless to them.
GDP is literally a measure of aggregate production. The entire point of GDP is to measure production in an economy. GDP does not measure money any more than mass measures kilograms. It measures the value of all goods and services produced in the economy.
It's not fair, and it's not right.

Yes. But in the mature world of business, the pertinent question is --- is it legal?

If it's legal and you can profit from it, someone is going to do it. To expect otherwise is naive and juvenile.

The EUPL has a lot of things going for it: it's readable by mortals (unlike GPL), has official translations, and in general is just "GPL, but better". That said, it doesn't quite close the "SaaS loophole". Or rather, it's somewhat easily circumvented as the EUPL allows combining your code with other copyleft "compatible licenses" and then redistributing all of this combined work under the "compatible license". These compatible licenses include the GPL and LGPL.

For my project I removed these licenses from the list of "compatible license", so technically it's not "EUPL 1.2", although it's close enough... I brought this up with one of the authors of the EUPL a few years back, and they felt it was fine as-is, but I still wish it would allow things to be a bit more flexible in this regard.

Still, I think EUPL is an excellent replacement for the GPL. But AGPL is a bit more complex. I still prefer my "EUPL 1.2 Martin flavour" because IMHO the AGPL is a horrendously written license and the text is just atrocious even by legalize standards.

It sees very little usage unfortunately; last time I checked my project was the only one in all of the Void repo to use EUPL :-/

No that is not what AI safety critics are worried about and you know it. It is racism and hate speech from huge troves of data from the sump of the internet.
It'll all burn down or flood out before they get ready to try preserving it.
There's a few things going on here: a lot of young and LGB single people are using the apps but despite that most of those people who do get a partner still aren't actually meeting that partner through an app - about 20% for the youngest age group listed did. This isn't insignificant but 80% of that group did not meet their partner through an app still.

While the amount of users of that group are high, most of them are still ultimately going to meet their future partner through other avenues. It's worth highlighting that by definition most of them are unsuccessful at that point. It might be that actually one of the apps' main functions for some people is simply to give people some common ground as they exchange grievances about the experience...

On the amount of people in relationships, the data only seems to account for cohabiting and married couples, everyone else seems to be grouped into 'unpartnered'. As such this could also be reflective of changes in living circumstances - more young people still living with parents for example which may reduce opportunities for cohabiting. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/09/04/a-majorit...

In any case I agree with you that something is going on there but I still don't think that apps represent a good solution for most people.

My personal experience was that online dating was a disaster that (temporarily, fortunately) ruined my self-esteem and my best luck always came when I wasn't 'trying' to date at all.
Ever since I found out that Cloudflare does not charge any markup on the domains you buy from them, I've decided to buy all my domains from them. They are very transparent with their pricing, and also has a notice about this increase; in their case it will go up from $9.15 to $9.77 -- which seems to check out with the sum of the registry fee plus the ICANN fee.
Likewise, this is the answer I generally hear from those folks. IME it's still begging the question - the increased liquidity is still overwhelmingly only meaningful to those already-ultra-rich, unless you subscribe to trickle-down Economics.
