I did. I really wanted to like Plan 9, but I fail to see how it will ever be more than anything than a research system for playing around with. I read the Plan 9 Architecture paper, deployed to VMs (because that's about the only thing it will run on), and gave it's design decisions serious consideration. The virtual union filesystem I think has merit, but it's not without tradeoffs. If we want to see Plan 9 in any form used in serious, I think it would have to be as a virtual userspace implemented on top of Linux with more serious thought given to performance, error handling, and introspection.
I still firmly believe that a microtransaction economy would be great for exactly this kind of use-cases to transform currently broken/predatory business models into viable, affordable services.

Greetings from Ukraine, European country with real Great war just now.

I must say, we see extreme grow of cyber-crime as part of modern war. I think, in nearest future, cold war will guaranteed have huge cyber-crime part.

And, hacking of IoT devices has very significant share of cyber-crime now. For real war it is question of life and death, because hacked devices with radio emission, are used by hostile intelligence, to find targets for attacks of heavy weapon, but also, we seen cyber attacks on electric-energy infrastructure, indented to make blackout (fortunately for us, unsuccessful).

Chinese IoT devices are very special part of question, in many cases are connected to Chinese clouds, and this is also extremely dangerous, not only because potential unfriendly Chinese moves, but also because their security is not good enough, so in many cases, cyber-crime could intercept communications and interfere operation of device or even hijack control.

For example, exists smart door locks with camera and I hear hackers hacked them and used them to observe work of air defense, so enemy could tune their air attacks to make more harm.

In civilian life without war, videos from hacked door locks (or other IoT cameras) could be used for illegal surveillance, to coordinate riots, etc.

Meta data is often as valuable or even more valuable than the data itself.

Because you might be talking to the mob boss about the weather. But the fact that you are talking to the mob boss is an extremely interesting data point. It pins you to the map in a way that you are immediately a POI and causes a file to be opened on you and your other contacts to further map your place in the network. Who talks to who is very powerful information.

Why do apple charge a premium but give the lowest storage and ram they can get away with (at least for the base models)... I would genuinely like to know. Especially now that it's all onboard.

If I was charging through the nose I'd at least solder a few extra nand chips out of an ethical desire to give a full-fat product for the premium price.

I know Dell do the same thing though. If you want extra ram... it'll be 3x what Amazon will sell at. But apple charge a bigger premium for the base product I feel.
Many, many, many orders of magnitude less than we need. This is the worst kind of "technically correct" which is so misleading as to be disingenuous.

To keep up with demand, you'd need so much nuclear energy that the thermal byproduct would boil the oceans within a year or two.

I think it's safe to say that's not a desirable outcome. Once we're out, we're out.
Is anyone calling it a blunder other than The Economist, which has little interest in undermining the ONS (and the article is quite respectful of it)?

A simpler explanation would be that "blunder" makes an exciting headline. Have you any evidence to support your explanation?
This is one of those areas where regulation might cause unintended consequences that are worse than the current state of affairs.
Regulating here is necessary, but the challenge is steep! IoT devices may include a complex bill of materials (BoM) including software (SBoM). Vulnerabilities can appear in any of those components.

On the one hand, CVE and vulnerability databases are excellent, and with some automation of vulnerability and patch availability the's the possibility of automated re-build.

But the manifests can be huge. And some component could be vulnerable, but was never anticipated to be so, and perhaps doesn't even have the means to be patched. Update processes for sub-sub-components may not have been exercised, and could lead to bricked products.

So labelling and guarantees are welcomed. But the challenge is practically insurmountable, and until the entire industry steps up to meet it, labelling and guarantees are going to be 'best effort'.
I think this might be useful if we kind of wargame prospective regulations to follow all the ways people might abuse it, then you might get something that works. Maybe lawmakers already do that? This thread feels in that spirit too…
I was trying to think of ways to finance it, and "future patch insurance" is clever! There are other sorts of business insurance where the insurer is liable even if the business no longer exists, so it would be doable. Though a policy would require a level of technical competency that other insurance policies don't, since their providing a guarantee of service rather than a guarantee to pay out a certain amount in damages.
90%+ of Mac software I have installed in newer versions needs some broad "accessibility" permission, simply because the OS is too restrictive for an application that wants to do anything even slightly complex. 1Password needs it to autofill text inputs. Zoom needs it for screenshare. iTerm needs it for remapping keys. The OS presents it as "this scary app wants to control your computer!!" when the permission should really be broken down.
> They say you are abnormal because you can see some things that are very simple like global warming. They condemn your human reaction to rebel against this and offer you a lobotomy to remain happy.

This is the way things need to be though. You're not Elon Musk's rich uncle. If changing the fate of the entire world is your goal, you will die unaccomplished, frustrated and be miserable the entire time. It's beyond your control, even collectively, and obsessing about ambitions beyond your capabilities only leads to madness.

Tend your own lot in life. Fix the things you can. "Climate is heating up" should not mean "design, launch and deploy a functional solar shield;" to you, it should mean "migrate somewhere cooler." Once you're capable of achieving small goals like saving your own ass, then you can afford to be more ambitious and worry about everyone else's.

Why an Engineering Manager Should Not Review Code
It's crazy to prefer a natural diamond for anything other than a collectors' item. It's not about being 'cheap' - whatever your budget is, if you're picking an engagement ring say, why not get a technically superior (or larger) stone for the same price tag?

This seems to have stalled but if popped up a few times on HN in the past. Might still be worth a look.

Are the documents scans, or do they have real text on them? It’s worth trying to convert them to svg or html using “mutool convert” and then seeing what you can do with the results. If you’re dealing with the same type of document each time you’ll probably find the patterns in there are common enough that you can easily grab what you want.
Show HN: Miko – an alternative to googling healthcare queries
This is a personal experiment that uses AI to respond to healthcare queries. I was fed up of googling symptoms which provided no concrete advice. The only alternative was to fork out for a doctor's appointment that would last a few minutes.

So I built a little tool that will hopefully augment people's interactions with their health. I have no interest in replacing the hospital or the need for a doctor.

Miko is not flawless but it is a free, instant alternative to expensive healthcare. My hope is that users would try the advice Miko gives them but also visit their doctor if their symptoms persisted.

Previously I built a one-stop shop for healthcare which sold services at discounted prices but it is just an interesting side project. I have investigated ways of incorporating GPT and other models into healthcare since last year. I used bubble.io for the web app because of its convenience.
Frankly I'm amazed it took this long for people to realize diamond isn't that special a material, at least considering how easy it is to make.

Elon Musk claims Twitter has lost ~40 billion dollars in value
As communications increasingly overlaps with other elements of information --- data acquisition, storage, retrieval, processing, and transmission --- keeping the FCC out of the security space will become both more difficult and less tractable.

We've already seen instances where broadcast channels have been hacked or hijacked, where false reports have been injected into news streams (at times affecting global financial markets, or disrupting emergency / disaster responses), where communications providers have disabled public access to alerts (mobile providers and wildfires, Twitter's recent hostile takeover), and more.

There's also the overlap between communications and monopoly (generally the FTC's remit), which I realised a few years back: Censorship, surveillance, propaganda, and targeted manipulation (AdTech and similar tools) are all intrinsic properties of media monopolies:

<https://web.archive.org/web/20201014011009/https://joindiasp...>

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24771470>

There are other concerns where media are highly decentralised or fragmented, including spread of rumours and confusion (e.g., "fog of war", or the general uncertainty in natural disasters or after political and military upheavals such as Germany as the Third Reich fell). But the monopoly -> media concerns issues seem well established. Most though not all of these are addressed by people such as Tim Wu, Bruce Schneier, Cory Doctorow, and Shoshana Zuboff, though I'm not aware that all the components I've identified had been linked previously.

I'm aware that regulatory agencies are constrained by their legislative mandates, but communicating concerns over those limitations to Congress is also possible.

If you zoom out and look at the aggregate widget contribution to the GDP (price * # sold), it is likely that the effect is either much reduced or goes away entirely. Fewer people will buy for $100, depending on price elasticity on demand the GDP number may in fact end up accurately reflecting that something shitty took place.

De Beers basically controls the whole diamond market. They make it almost impossible to resell them and strictly control the supply. They were also responsible (via advertising agency N. W. Ayer) for the idea that diamonds should be used in engagement rings in 1938-1941.

That's still not a great use of a 43" screen ;) When windows are automatically forced into a grid, they usually end up not the "right" size. A calendar or a chat app is usually fine taking a third of the screen (both vertically and horizontally), but a browser window is usually better taking roughly half of it. And just because from now on I have one less window on my screen, doesn't mean I want all its neighbors to suddenly get larger.

I have a bunch of hacked-together scripts that do this sort of "manual tiling" for me: I can tell a window to grow or shrink to take 1/3rd, half, or 2/3rds of the screen, and to push it around (center, edge, etc). It has some bugs and edge cases but works ok in practice.

Ask HN: Help me pick between two validated startup ideas
For the last couple of months, I've been indie hacking on a couple of AI projects, just to see where long term value is. I'm currently exploring two ideas that might be long term potential but I don't know which one to commit to.

1. Hyperaide. https://hyperaide.com/. Middle layer for building AI applications. Having launched a few AI products over the past months, there are a few standout problems when it comes to prompt management and things. This aims to solve that with a focus on builders and startups as opposed to enterprise (Humanloop for the little guy lets say).

2. Chatlango. https://www.chatlango.com/. A platform to practice speaking languages by having conversations with AI personas and real users. Supplementary to other forms of learning. Consumer but has B2B side with selling to educational institutions.

Hyperaide launched last week. Few users but some are paying customers.
Chatlango launched few weeks ago. ~1000 users. No paying customers.

What I like about Hyperaide: Its a dev tool. "selling shovels" might be worthwhile in the AI boom. Have experienced problems first hand. Has paying customers.
What I like about Chatlango: It has a decent amount of users. Its consumer so its a bit "cool" to do. Also a personal problem. I am trilingual and language learning has been a big part of my life.

Been thinking about this for a few weeks but still on the fence.
I pitched this to my wife a few years back. She insisted she’d rather have a smaller natural diamond. It makes no sense to me. Shiny carbon is shiny carbon to me. There’s no real logic in it. But given it’s a status symbol that derives its value from its rareness, I suppose it’s no different than a Luis Vutton or a Rolex. It’s not about the function, it’s about the fact that you can afford one. I hate that mentality, I refuse to buy anything like that for myself.
great recommendation; i didn’t think of that. putting up a curtain and sitting in darkness to avoid privacy. living in California, this is considered an invasion of privacy. California’s “invasion of privacy” statute (Penal Code Section 647(j)).

Not just that, even natural diamonds just aren't that rare.

This is what happens when one company corners a market, and controls supply and marketing.

I'm 99% sure I know which vendor you are referring to.

If that is unsatisfactory then you can either A. use vmx(1) to run Linux and run a browser in there. or B. write code and contribute instead of complaining.

Though what does youtube have to do with modern computing? It's just an application. I'm talking about the underlying architecture.
Sure you can. At 100k / month revenue, you have 100 currency / month or 1200 / year available for another artist, which may or may not include the risk of messing up the "feel of the SFX and music". Even at 10x that, that's a paltry sum, especially if identity is tied to it.
>No, but it's very hypocritical. They should at least have the decency to shut up.

That's not hypocritical, they're just saying it as it is. A failure of the european auto sector will mean waves of unemployment and a recession. It would be an economic disaster of biblic proportions of the Eurozone, regardless of the state of the environment. And voters and politicians first and foremost care abut having pensions, jobs to buy food and a roof over their head and will vote for that before the environment. It's a tragedy of the commons.

The big German automakers screwed the pooch on electrification, falling behind Tesla and China, but since they're too big to fail for the EU economy, are throwing the weight around to have things their way and they'll most likely get it.

>Don't care if they build EVs or hydrogen burning ICE cars as long as I don't have to inhale smoke while tailing another car or just walking along a busy road.

Ok, but what does the state of cars in your city have to do with Greece's extreme weather phenomenons? If you had EVs everywhere now in your neighbourhood, those phenomenons would still happen as pollution still continues. No matter what bs Elon said, switching to EVs, does not magically fix the planet. Manufacturing EVs is more environmentally damaging than ICEs. Most of the earth's environmental damage doesn't come form Avergae Joe driving to work in his BMW.

>If they converted current vehicles to burn H2 it would be equally awesome.

Are we just making up fantasy situations now?
As a developer and a consumer, what I'd really like to see is:

- Manufacturer voluntary guarantee of 1/3/5 years security updates with an expiration date.

- Separation of functionality and security updates.

- The ability to "turn off" connectivity and retain full local functionality.

- An industry security certification like UL.

- A single point way of identifying and validating devices.

As it is, I avoid using IoT mostly for security reasons. Having worked in security for many years I have seen the best and the worst. Having security isn't a panacea either - it needs an ongoing management & reporting infrastructure.
Tell HN: The ProtonMail Android app is useless
In the last few months the android app has become unusable for me. Anyone else seeing this? As I type a new email it constantly 'flashes' a message saying 'unable to save draft'. It actually saves lots of drafts of odd characters from my intended message. Then it won't send. If you get it to 'send' it normally fails. Occasionally it sends a blank mail to make you look really stupid.
There are people exploring pushing more computation down to the device layer to avoid shuffling the bits around: https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast23/presentation/yang-z...

DPUs are also probably a piece you are missing. Vendors are starting to position these as almost PCIe arbiters with access to both nvme devices and GPUs without the need to involve the main cpu to move data between them.
No it won't. Once the economy starts booming again, RTO'd people who like remote work and have the choice will look for new jobs.
