When I look at an initiative like BlastDoor, I'm struck by how unlikely it is that every other messaging app makes a similar investment on every platform. Does WhatsApp have a similar architecture? Has the Gmail app rewritten all its image parsers in a similar manner? Has Tinder? And sure, if you compromise WhatsApp you only get access to its internal memory and may not be able to escalate to other apps or OS storage - but compromising someone's WhatsApp messages isn't any less serious, and there's history of escalation being possible: https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/13/whatsapp-exploit-let-attac...

It's a miracle that these kinds of zero-click zero-days don't get announced every single week. Though maybe they do, and we just don't know about them...

This is nonsense. The uploader is not necessarily the copyright holder of the code. The uploader is not necessarily in a position to grant extra rights above the actual license.

What happens if someone else uploads my code to github?

What happens if proprietary code is uploaded to github?

What happens if national secrets are posted to github?

In all of those cases, the person doing the upload does not "own" the content, nor did they choose the license.

There is no reasonable read of a ToS agreement that would allow Microsoft/Github extra rights to that content.
Marketing copy and sales documentation is also copyrighted.

Yes, that's why I said:

Where it starts to get iffy is when you start talking about people literally copying your HTML/CSS or what-not. Is that the case here? If so, call a lawyer.

where "or what-not" is short-hand for the exhaustive list of "things that can be copied" that I had neither the time not the inclination to list out explicitly.
The Last Temptation of Christ was my first experience with the right-wing/religious uproar about a movie was as a teen still keeping peace with the parental units by attending mom's church. At the time, I really had no interest in seeing the movie, but not because the preacher man said not to. Just wasn't my thing. However, it was very eye opening on the weaponization of the pulpit and only accelerated my move away from church.

I do not get how you are arriving at that conclusion. Would the huge genetic variance in humanity not make an extinction event quiet unlikely, for any kind of transmissible disease?

Admittedly as a macOS lifer moving to linux I was a bit confused, or at least couldn’t resonate with the criticisms, specifically systemd (openrc), along with other random overhead and cruft.

Then got to the part where they mentioned this is targeting more mainstream distros and thought “ah so this is why I chose gentoo.” I never considered any of the mentioned mainstream distros because I just assumed given the popularity, there’s more fuckery. Less granular control == more “user friendly” which seems like a natural byproduct of something becoming more popular.

I certainly don’t have the historical perspective of the author, and one can can debate the merits of the myriad running processes, but just wanted to share the perspective of someone entirely green to Linux; that what was outlined was what I already assumed

The DC metro's funding scheme can be most succinctly and politely described as "bonkers"[1]. I brought it up as an example of the US successfully constructing mass transit in the last 50 years, not a shining example of municipal management.

I think these are all reasonable arguments. It’s just hard for me to take them seriously with how corrupt our government is. Yes these are all factors, but the main thing is just that politicians 60 years ago decided to give themselves bribes instead of funding the pension and now I’m paying for it.
Just to say: the search engine frog has long been boilt and it is amazing what crap people have to put up with when searching for anything. How jarring the experience of seeing TV commercials is after years of Kodi, is how the experience is of moving back to an ad-supported search engine after now months of Kagi.
Why would I use Tailscale over OpenVPN, for example? OpenVPN is supported by my router OOTB and the config was incredibly straightforward. It sounds like Mullvad adds a layer of privacy into a Tailscale network if I’m understanding it correctly. But Mullvad aside, I don’t get what separates Tailscale from something like OpenVPN.
That sounds frustrating. Can you provide an example of how they mangle quoted URLs?

If a thing is well advertised, then it will never be a “hidden gem”, because people know about it.

But also, lists like that also implicitly often are euphemisms for “titles that are good, but cater to non-mainstream interests, and so never achieve vitality.” Hidden-object games get (probably unfairly and mostly self-perpetuatingly) classified as “girly games” — which leads to major game reviewers and journalists just completely ignoring them when they come out. So a good hidden-object game will almost always, inherently be a “hidden gem.”

A few years ago kaspersky caught something that had to be removed by their rescue ISO. That ISO was blocked from downloading its updates and their UK support team couldn’t resolve the issue so never got to find out what it was, but it doesn’t look good there was a block preventing it from working.
> You can't assume losing half of staff is a downside. RTO is a great solution for bloated companies which overhired during the pandemic.

Grindr didn't have a bloated staff. It had less than 200 employees, half that sw engineers. Tech stack is modern, solid and has no legacy code in it. It wasn't stripped to the bone, but now the company lost any fat it had, lost all muscle, and some bones in the process too.

The salaries were not high, but people enjoyed working there because they were at the same time helping the LGBT+ community which majority of employees were a part of.

I have never taken them seriously precisely because of this statement. They are a machine learning specific language and everyone who works in machine learning knows the speedup is cherry picked bullshit. If they're basing their marketing around an obviously false claim, why would I take a closer look?
Reading these its quite obvious that they do, in fact, moderate on behalf of YC companies, they just proclaim that its "less, not more", which is utterly meaningless without examples or explicit rules and given that dang himself or someone he reports to or reports to him literally edited configs for the webserver so that the referrer headers on urls to asahi linux would evade a soft block, I'm kind of at a loss as to why I should believe them. Its bizarre and embarrassing that people are giving them a charitable read on this.

There is another half of the "overly political" bit and well but where the audience is at fault for the discrepancy. Basically: an out group decides to make a point with bad reviews.

Doesn't happen as much anymore since they require proof of ticket purchase to review, but it still will on occasion. And it happened enough previously that they specifically had to put the proof of purchase condition in place.
> This is a perfect example of a market failure where you need some government intervention because the general public is not great at assessing risk level, or even knowing about some risks.

No, it's a perfect example of how the government's standard response to a small number of people being stupid and irresponsible is to punish all of the not stupid, not irresponsible people. I don't need a CO detector and automatic shutoff on my portable generator because I have a clue and won't run it indoors. And, as other commenters have pointed out, a CO detector and automatic shutoff are now two more things that can break on my generator--probably right when I need it most, when the power is out. But if this regulation passes, I won't have a choice; I'll have to suffer the consequences of the cluelessness of others. How is that fair? How does it even make sense? Why penalize the actual mature adults just because a few people can't be bothered to be mature adults?

iMessage is overall a lot more complicated and integrated than I like it to be. Want to switch accounts, you gotta log your entire user or device out of iCloud. Logging back in will often create issues. Using old Mac/iPhone OS versions creates issues. Messages and attachments are received separately by different devices, and weird things happen when one device is out of space. Deleting messages or blocking senders is per-device. Different devices might miss some messages or even get them out of order. A device waking from sleep often gets messages delayed by minutes (like email), and you're notified a second time for them. And lastly, the "effective. Power لُلُصّبُلُلصّبُررً ॣ ॣh ॣ ॣ 冗" vulnerabilities.

Compared to Facebook Messenger where there's one consistent state in the master server and neatly sandboxed web or iPhone app calling it. And yeah, I know these are partially by-products of e2ee vs traditional, and nobody else has really done e2ee messaging with multiple devices.
But that's the point though, it's not trying to solve anything. The biological impetus to survive is individual, and we see some emergent property of survival instincts in the development and existence of groups, societies, culture, etc. In non-human animals, there are lots of example of cooperation and symbiosis. All this to say that problem solving is a biological problem, not an evolutionary problem. There are pressures that favor some traits over others, and then we have population level effects, but the development of traits is inherently random.
Agreed. The Atari 8 bit computers were like 8-bit Amigas, which isn’t a coincidence.

> Or a federal free insulin plant.

It's not just jobs. It's also relevant to US interests to keep industry skills sharp. Manufacturing insulin doesn't require the same skills that manufacturing a rocket requires.

On the flip side: if the skills are so expensive that private commercial entities are doing it for one or two orders of magnitude cheaper then it's arguable that the skills being paid to be kept sharp aren't really so sharp as they're paid to be. That is: at this price, why can't they deliver while private commercial entities can for cheaper?

So it's almost certainly just for the jobs and not really for the skills then.
Art made from a collage of, say, magazine photos does not supplant or substitute for the magazine photos which is why it's much more likely to be deemed fair-use. Despite the collage using perhaps large portions of the copyrighted photos, it is nonetheless transformative in the sense that no-one is deciding to buy the collage art instead of the magazine photo.

Contrast LLM-created code which is certainly a substitute for the original copyrighted work.
It's all behind the submission link! I've set it up so that you can run it start to end, if you want. The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is resource requirements - I have an 8GB GPU and 32GB of RAM, it could be that if you have less than that you'd run into out of memory errors. Those would be fairly straightforward to fix, though (honestly I'd be happy to help if someone runs into this).

> The trouble is when a big customer wants to license or an investor wants to invest, they want to understand their risks, and that includes consideration of risks coming from ambiguous code ownership--or clear but problematic ownership

Fair enough, then whoever makes money out of the big customer/investor has also the burden of doing whatever engineers who make money out of software do - maintain it, patch it, provide support etc.

That's why many projects have a community edition (the core product, maintained by volunteers who only abide to the standard license of the software) and an enterprise edition (the one maintained by a business that makes money from shipping something that checks all the enterprise boxes out of the community project).

This model has worked for most of the businesses out there for at least the past three decades. Companies like Red Hat (the old one) made a lot of money out of it.

Inverting this business model means ending up in a situation where the enterprise side has the power of imposing an enterprise-like license to the FOSS community, instead of having a product released under a FOSS license that can also be forked into enterprise implementations - with their own custom EULAs, CLAs etc. that only apply to those enterprise implementations.

I don't think that is something that we should tolerate.
Thanks for the prominent link to my article! ("The Small Web is Beautiful") I consider that my personal software manifesto, so I'm glad to see it being promoted more widely.

I would describe a one click rootkit as terrifying as opposed to wonderful.

This is amazing! Over the last 2 months I've been on a personal journey to browse through small web links. It all started from the "Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?" post on HN, and then I found out that somebody put a website with the links from this post organized(https://dm.hn/). I exported all 1651 blog link in to XLS and now every now and then I open up 5-7 just to read random articles and mark it as "viewed". So far I've been through 250 out of 1651!

I wish kagi has something similar, one place where I can see all the links to the personal websites collected via all it's sources
I see your point. I don't have a problem with it personally, but I understand your logic. I guess now that everything is controlled by software, and software is rarely ever owned (mostly licensed) that has started to blur the lines between what we own and what we license.

This kind of thing is common in software where all of the code is there for the premium/business/family/group/team/etc features, but how much you pay determines which features you get access to. In the case of the BMW, the heated seat control only appeared on the screen if you paid $250 for it.
Very happy paying Kagi search and Orion browser user here. Just want to send some general good vibes your way. I really love what you guys are doing, and this just adds to that.
here is what I was thinking -- in business (or war), parties can implement an unreasonable or illegal action in fact, then use time to rebuff others while making their position stronger.. or alternately simply pay gatekeepers or stakeholders while furthering their position, before others can actually stop the action. None of these or other scenarios involve a considered opinion by an impartial party with an effective implementation, in fact the key is to avoid impartial decision while gaining an advantage (and income) in the ground

I do not disagree with what you said, only that in reality, this is not the only way business conflicts are decided.

If you read the proposed rule, there is mention of tamper resistance requirements and compliance with third party standards which were previously not enforced. It does seem a bit concerning. For example:

(f) Tamper resistance. (1) A portable generator system for controlling CO exposure shall be tamper resistant. The system is considered tamper resistant when any part that is shorted, disconnected, or removed to disable the operation of the system prevents the engine from running. In addition, all parts, including wiring, which affect proper operation of the portable generator system for controlling CO exposure, must be (a) permanently sealed or (b) not normally accessible by hand or with ordinary tools. It is permissible for different parts of the portable generator system for controlling CO exposure to meet either option (a) or (b), provided all of the different parts meet at least one of these two options.
It's a pretty standard option in contracts for industrial sized consumers of electricity anywhere in the world.

>extracts the essence of people's works and recreates similar works (in terms of style, etc) while cutting out the original authors completely.

Only if you ask it to. At which point the person asking is at the very least culpable as well of violating someone's IP.

It is also illegal for me to pay someone to write Micky Mouse fan fiction (though if I don't publish it, this gets more murky).

> The argument you're suggesting will hold is essentially "yes we're using copyrighted works, but we're doing it at scale and blending it, so that's ok".

I want to flip this on its head: the argument you are suggesting is essentially "LLMs should be illegal because they can be asked to break copyright at scale!" It isn't illegal to be an author for hire, even though someone could potentially ask you to write fan fiction for their personal collection in the style of Tolkien, but because an LLM can do it at scale, it is illegal?
Again, that's a nice rule. But how is that enforced? It still has to be proven that RTO is intended to union bust. That's the tough part.
