Because it's important to cultivate the right motivation among contributors. Allowing people with selfish motivations to thrive eventually destroys the project.
No one would want that in a flight sim unless real planes start working that way, which we should all hope they don't.

While in this case there isn't a big problem, "motivated to commit to OSS projects for credit" causes loads of aggravation in general. Consider the gazillions of "fixed a typo in a comment" PRs that people get from folks trying to pad resumes.
I've been wondering how an OS draws a high-quality GUI.

I've don't bare metal development and drawn simple graphics with a linear frame buffer, but for a UI like this or Windows, I'm wondering how the images that represent the UI components are generated.

I don't see any png files for window borders, but I do see code for setting pixels to the correct color for a theme.

Are UI components in an OS usually programmed and not created in an image editor and then tiled?
There is still the chance that the person that created the 4 line dependency also just copy pasted it from the flawed StackOverflow answer. Or is the same person or is also just a random person creating the package like the random person that created the SO answer. I'm not sure why random_person1 should be more trustworthy to produce non flawed code than random_person2.

OTO: It's at least easily upgrade able so it has an advantage.

I used to be in that camp, but one thing I realized over time was I didn't want to be right: I wanted everyone to admit I was right. And eventually I (mostly) realized that I can be both "right" (in my own head at least) and happy because I no longer was basing my feelings of happiness on the beliefs and actions of others.

This is exponentially more true on the internet. You have trolls who will never admit you're right because they feed off the argument itself. Eventually, as well you will find yourself fighting against someone just like you in a zero sum game that will drive both of you to anger and frustration.

But I could be wrong. :)

IDEs and linters should not be a crutch methinks because not everyone uses the same IDE or text editor. Either way, it will still be awkward to read.

Better that you either avoid that pattern or at least indent it in such a way that its not so visually confusing. Or yknow use a pipe operator.

My first exposure to a ThinkPad laptop was when work issued me a T60.

It was absolutely awful in virtually every aspect. Performance was terrible, the bundled software was complete garbage (but the machine wouldn't function properly without it), the fingerprint reader was incredibly temperamental (it never worked), the ergonomics were terrible (carrying it was physically painful thanks to the sharp edges), etc.

I honestly couldn't believe that a ThinkPad, which had such a stellar reputation, could be this terrible.

That T60 completely ruined the ThinkPad name for me. When it was time to replace it I requested a MacBook Pro and I've never looked back.

I am sure there is truth to the article, but as someone forced to pay the full price for 2 kids, the idea that tuition is not going up is laughable. I'll pay $80,000 this year for my daughter and about $40K for my son who chose the in-state university.

College prices are insane. My daughter is in her final year, and even in those years, including a Covid gap year, the cost went up $10,000 for those of us stuck paying full price.

I am in no way wealthy, but thankfully went through 2 small exits in my career where I could bank enough away to cover this. There will be nothing left though. I also put money in a 529 for each kid their whole life. For my son's account I actually lost a small amount of money over the life of the investment and for my daughters it only went up slightly. If that had been all I had I could have paid for 1 year of school each.

I used to use Strava on my phone for my work rides. One time I forgot to turn it off, hopped in my car after coming home to do an errand. A couple miles down the road I realized that Strava was dutifully recording my driving as riding (in light traffic definitely faster than almost anyone would ride, especially me). Whoops.

As the article points out they have trouble keeping cheaters out of bike races in the real world, they're going to have issues when everyone is at home in charge of their own equipment. I don't know why its seems like it a bike sport thing, maybe its the "bring your own equipment" aspect of it.
I'm really interested in these views that view these human systems almost as physical systems, with semi-legible dynamics and complex (but comprehensible) interactions, and even implications. Thus the irons laws.

I'm also very taken with the idea of systems propagating themselves. Formally, this is called "autopoiesis" and is its own fascinating and related rabbit hole.

OpenAI announced from day 1 that GPT-4 is multimodal, so it was mostly waiting for safety censorship and enough GPUs to be available for mass rollout.

This won't entirely replace human volunteers, but these models get rapidly better over time. What you are seeing today is a mere toy compared to the multimodals you'll get in the future.

Currently there's no model trained on videos, due to large size of videos, but in the future there will be video-capable models, which means they can understand and interpret motion and physics. Put that in a smart glass, and it can act as live-eyes to navigate a busy street. Granted this will take years to bring the costs down to make that viable.
Unfortunately the author wasn't comfortable sharing his patch ("this mailing list is private so I cannot link to the original patch I sent"), but a comment now buried deep in the discussion [1] says:

> The only difference between the patch that was accepted and the one that was proposed is where the fix is. In one case it's in an ifdef outside of an if. In the other it's in an inner if statement. That's it. This is a difference in style not a technical difference in the patch at all.

It sounds like the author wrote the fix and the maintainer merely edited it to fit the project style.

If that truly is all that was done, how hard would it have been to ask the author to quickly make that change?

Ah, I actually got mine well before your review ;) I've had mine for a year now (Aug 2022); here in the States I took advantage of my mobile carrier's 0% financing to grab one direct from them. It was a bullet to bite for sure but it's well paid off. My only hardware gripe is the one you've pointed out - no USB-A kills me sometimes if I forget to pack a dongle.

For me having the onboard 5G was the ultimate boon. Sure, hotspotting is An Thing, but it's so much nicer to just not have to think about that and let the laptop do all the work. Verizon gives me true-full-unlimited data on its Ultra Wideband 5G coverage, and it's so weirdly satisfying to have almost "wireless fiber" jammed into the thing - I've seen multi-Gbps speedtests out of this thing on the cell network.

Show HN: Airstrip AI, AI Legal Co-pilot for startups and small businesses
Airstrip AI is a legal co-pilot that provides tailored/custom accurate legal documents and legal assistance and for startups and small businesses. Currently, you can create legal docs and simplify legal documents. We are a very early-stage company and we are making Airstrip AI better and accurate.

Airstrip is using several LLM including GPT-4 and fine-tuned models. Airstrip can also pull information from the documents you upload(RAG) and make conversations accurate. So far for testing, we have created 500+ legal documents, and the results have been quite accurate with minor changes/reviews needed by a lawyer.

I consider it a great first contribution. Dude took initiative at his job to try to make his and his teammates' lives easier, investigated a super technical issue, found prior art and built on it, sought help on the list, and tried to shepherd it to get it merged. It was significant effort, and he in no way had to do it. He definitely didn't need to upstream it.

The amount of energy wasted in this thread on the meaning of "contributor" could boil me water for tea. Bewildering, honestly.

Who the fuck is this guy? Some MAGA-right-wing lawyer with a podcast that probably has a few hundred listeners is considered a thought leader? Yikes.

A judgement of fraud against a guy who's entire adult life is effectively fraud is wrong, biased, and uses "the worst logic ever"?

Come on. Donald Trump is the epitome of fraud. I'd bet my entire life savings that Mr. "6'3 215 and worth 13 billion" is much closer to 5'10 275 and has 13 billion of debt than he'd like to admit.

I expected the maintainer to be bit of an asshole. Apparently they were totally respectful. They probably figured `Reported-by` is good enough credit, not putting themselves in the author's shoes (we all do this all the time). The author could have e-mailed the maintainer back and ask them to review their attribution practices and that would've been it. Instead they wrote a scathing article.

> I wonder if the internet being associated with freedom is something that's just already dead that all the users of the internet that seem to matter that would be "the youth", already don't remember the internet as a free platform.

I think this is largely accurate, and it's the greatest tragedy of all when it comes to the internet. This is the reason I think that the internet is dead. The things that made the internet truly great are but a distant memory.
What you call 'unsubstantive' and 'flamebait' are sincerely held opinions. If you want to express how a comment is unsubstantive or wrong, feel free to respond to that comment - I always endeavour to respond - and if I have it wrong I will thank you for any corrections.

My position is that everyone is 'on the take' - and as that appears to be the truth I don't want to pretend otherwise - let's just be honest about the state of the world. What is the value of pretending - as if our jobs depended on it (which for most, they do) - that there is some great moral cause in play, or that the future will be wonderful? "We", on this site, code the dystopia. Fine, take the money but then don't also try to tell me how this is a good thing and for the benefit of humanity. With the corporate and governance structure, we are dealing with the manipulation and manoeuvring of the masses into doing things that someone, somewhere has decided will be of personal benefit. I think the notion that they are 'there to help' and are 'fair authorities' of how we proceed, needs to be disabused, if there is genuine human progress to be made.

Part of the issue is that there is a massive excess of trust in the institutions and corporations, despite it being clear that they are socially engineering the masses to want what they have to sell. The scale of what they have achieved is remarkable.

That these institutions are taken seriously - despite their obviously self-serving and nefarious nature - is problematic for everyone, even those who want nothing to do with it, like myself. Amazingly, most high flying people who have been through the propagandising system, seem incapable of recognising how much trust they are placing in these institutions, and are unaware of how little personal discernment they apply. I am addressing that.

WRT your point that I am making unsubstantive comments - take a moment to reflect on the other comments on the site. When they are cheerleading the military, or liberal causes (unsubstantively, like me on occasion) or whatever other media promoted causes - is that ok? If you agree with the thrust of the lightweight comment, are you also capable of telling them they are insubstantial, or do you reserve your judgements (as above) only for those who express views against what you hold?

PS I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to discuss the way HN is run with you. I have previously been banned here (2 years ago?), my comments are frequently downvoted, or upvoted and then massively downvoted, my posts flagged, etc - ie it seems that I am quietly supressed despite my making an effort to express a sincere view. I do not understand the value of the low level de-platforming I have experienced - all that occurs is that you create a corporate echo chamber. I can only conclude that it is likely that this is what is desired.

However, in the name of truth, as I believe I have valid, considered opinions that happen to challenge accepted convention, and as I also value the platform and the information submitted here, with respect, I will be entirely ignoring your request as it seems unreasonable to me. Thanks again.

> How does the author determine this is the "most copied snippet" on SO?

According to [this paper](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10664-018-9650-5) it's the most copied *from SO java answers*.
Karpathy ends on a note of despair "Maybe I should just do a startup. I have a really cool idea for a mobile local social iPhone app." That's exactly the path his now-boss took to bring us this. :)

Right?! It's so disappointing to see so many toxic comments here. This thread feels a little like one of the worse ones on LKML. The guy literally did 95% of the work and he gets criticised here for wanting to be recognized for that. What is wrong with people.
I've answered maybe 10 Be My Eyes calls over the last couple of years. I can see some value with AI describing labels or food items however most of the calls I've answered are more nuanced. Unusually I've answered two calls this week, 1st one was looking at photos of a hotel to help decide if it was met the requirements of the person. The second call was helping someone perform a blood sugar test, I had to tell the person when I thought the drop of blood on the tip of their finger was large enough to test and read the result off the tester. Neither of these are candidates for AI but let the users be the ultimate judge, I am continually impressed by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people I have interacted with.

So, for the people who got into the airbnb business not realizing that they were actually trying to run a hotel - buying more property, trying to run a whole pile of them - trying to make it their full time job... I don't have much sympathy. They are trying to game the airbnb world and making things painful for everyone - and they need to compete with actual hotels which they probably can't in the long run. And they are doing that with long cycle assets. That's obviously tough. But I see that it's tempting for Airbnb to cater to them: they bring in lots of properties. Airbnb will keep them on.

it might be a way for Airbnb to diversify: treat these two a two different businesses. Airbnb-style hotels and rooms in a lived in apt and actually local's apts. Three separate offerings as opposed to a big pile of random stuff.

But there was NO big investment for the people who offered the original Airbnb fare: one available room, or one available apartment.
Most of the most important innovations in history (especially in the hardware and electronics space) were motivated by increasing defense capabilities, so although its great to pretend that humans can coexist peacefully, that is not the reality...and this also ignores the fact that many of these technologies can have positive impact on the world outside of the defense space, once they mature.

The rise in student loan debt can alternatively be explained by increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of a few people. In the past (e.g. 40 years ago corresponding to a graduation date ~20 years ago), more families were able to save enough to cover the true cost of 4 years of college. Now many families are living paycheck to paycheck, and cannot create an emergency fund, much less a college fund.
The average weight of a lego is 2.5 grams. 32 billion bricks works out to ~5,500 metric tons of legos per year. Worldwide. That's less than a rounding error compared to any other kind of plastic production.

This is clean JavaScript syntax in my opinion and should be what people strive for.

It seems counterintuitive that one of the largest bull cycles in modern history would result in flat or negative returns. Is this due to the 529's limited investment vehicles...? At that point, wouldn't you be better off putting the funds into a taxable account instead?
You are speaking facts, but it runs into the medical problem of “overdiagnosis” where the treatment can be worse than the disease.

Swaddling the baby and forcing it to sleep on its back, may have a tiny statistical benefit for SIDS, but it causes tons of problems at a time when people are taxed to the limit of their abilities.

We could reduce the incident of breast cancer by removing every woman’s breasts, but that would be an improper risk assessment.

The biggest factor linked to SIDS is poverty, and after that it’s stuff like going to bed while under the influence of drugs and smoking.
