CDDL and MPL were defined as "free" only after a lengthy debate, and remain incompatible with the GPL - which, at the time, was widely considered the gold standard of free licenses. Without OSI as an ideological cover, they would have been ostracized even harder than they were.

> So why should a new definition have been needed to allow these licenses when they are already allowed by the old definition?

Maybe you should ask the founders of OSI? If their work was fundamentally pointless, why did they do it? Because it wasn't pointless, it was seen as necessary to be able to say "we are Good Guys, but not like them dirty GPL hippies".

He's 20 today, and the convroversy was last year.

It seems more like three years, in a period of one's life where a person probably does the most changing.

(FWIW, I don't play chess or have side, it's just an interesting issue.)
The way I define bootstrap is if the money is a Debt that needs to be paid back and you personally are on the hook. If you are not required to pay it back, it is not bootstrapped whether you used your own money or someone else's.
My primary (albeit rarely updated) blog is a statically generated website that I try to make look like a terminal. All plain text, has a huge ascii banner for its header. On the desktop it looks fine but it falls down completely when I try to load it on my phone. The main issue is that I'm not sure how to preserve the integrity of the ascii graphics layout while getting it to be mobile friendly. Been on my back burner for ages to fix.

Sometimes I find having to zoom in a lot even to navigate HN on my phone.
Still crashing like crazy on my system. It started in 114 or 115. I've sent at least 50 crash reports, with detailed descriptions of what I had been doing in the first few. Not sure what else to do. After using Firefox exclusively since around 2006, I had to switch to another browser (which I am surprisingly happy with), because getting 10-20 crashes per day really interferes with the work.

I've heard Linux support was down to like one guy who is doing half of the work in his free time out of goodness of his heart. Even if it's not true, sure feels like it.
> ... although there's a really interesting argument that you're always doing this when you punish someone.

It's the intention that matters.

Punishments have several functions -- to work as deterrent, to keep society safe from the perpetrator, to change them so that they won't repeat their crime in the future, to compensate the victims if possible, and also pure retribution, to let people feel "they got what they deserved."

To me, that last one is the least important, and "tooth for a tooth" makes the punisher guilty of the same crime as the perpetrator.
Agreed. Security shouldn't depend on not visiting certain web sites, because if nothing else the ad networks are able to get your browser to load all sorts of content from all sorts of places that you wouldn't deliberately do.

(1) Yes, one and a half times.
- The one time was due to Corona. The company needed to shrink so my job was cut.
- The half time was due to changes in priority for the company. The parent company was in the US and didn't know how to deal with the German labor rights so instead of laying us off my boss made things _very_ miserable for all of us until we quit.

(2) Yes, both times to the better. I learned to pay attention to all these KPIs they keep telling us about in the all-hands and also I am better now to judge companies before I join them.

(3) Nope, not at all.

How does that complicate the fact that Niemann admitted cheating on games he played on chess.com?
Yep! This and a few userchrome.css modifications is all it took for me. A few css transitions and hidden elements and viola, it functions better than edge does.

Yes, I can see it could be useful for a company making MacOS software. But for a company whose developers use MacOS but whose product has nothing specifically to do with MacOS, my instinct is that if local environment reproducibility concerns get to that point then linux containers are the answer since they'll be more closely related to CI/prod envs. Or are you thinking maybe that's wrong for large companies with lots of developers using MacOS?

I haven't looked into this issue in detail and was surprised to see such a brazen threat so I wanted to find information on your quote "comply or there will be consequences". I'm not able to see that in the context of white house or twitter. I haven't found anything close to it yet.

Could you point me to that information?
Yeah, if you make your security features public, it is so much easier to circumvent them.
It wouldn’t be the same behavior, though. No one is able to really come up with a good explanation of how Niemann cheated in a game where he was being watched by a crowd of people. Hence the sex toy theory; one has to come up with some outlandish guesses to make it work. Cheating on an online chess game is a completely different beast.

It would be like if a team was losing to the Patriots, and they walked away and claimed that all the Patriots were on steroids, and their only evidence was that they deflated the footballs against an opposing team some years before. Is that evidence of unsavory behavior? Sure. Is it a carte blanche to throw any accusation at them and walk away when they win claiming they cheated? That seems insane.
Why should he be treated any differently than Demjanjuk?
> things like stevia extract and erythritol which have at best unclear implications health-wise

Stevia is a natural sweetener that has been generally recognized as safe by the United States. Tens of thousands of studies conducted in Japan demonstrate its safety and they've used it as a dietary supplement for decades. Various cancer research institutes have also ran large-scale human studies that support its safety. Do not confuse Stevia with aspartame, saccharin, and other artificial sweeteners.

Stevia doesn't have the same mouthfeel as sugar and has a tendency to develop a bitter taste above a certain quantity but I attribute that to the typical American sweet tooth; I have no trouble flavoring drinks with Stevia because I prefer about half the level of sweetness that a commercial product might otherwise have.

You should reconsider this, you can work for American companies from Germany and get the laws on your side.

Reflect. A mirror.

Is it knowledge (gleaned from the world) or just a reflection?

Well if you're looking straight at it then it's pretty obvious whether it's a mirror or not. But add a couple of filters and suddenly you're having a conversation with yourself like a crazy person.

Now is the time to skim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_life-cycle_management_.... (FYI: If you're making big bucks, you're only "worth it" in the growth stage and the early maturity stage. You're not "worth it" in the "Saturation and Decline" stage, unless you can figure out how to move within your company.)

Basically, I was laid off when the product I worked on was transitioning from "Maturity" to "Saturation and Decline." The startup I joined 9 years earlier was bought and sold a few times, and I wasn't crazy about the company that finally purchased us. I smelt that severance packages were available, dropped a big hint, and was laid off about a month or two later. (The details are confidential, but let's just say that I was on severance at the beginning of Covid! It was wonderful because I had very young children.)

Initially I had so many interviews that I thought I was going to get a job before the severance ran out. If it wasn't for Covid, I probably would have too.

The bigger issue with a layoff isn't employability; it's how you approach looking for a job. What I realized by the time that I found my job was that:

1: Most companies hiring don't want to match my expected salary as a mid-career highly experience engineer that shipped industry leading products. They'd rather take a chance on cheaper, inexperienced engineers.

2: I don't have the patience for poorly-run companies. (Because I've seen it all and have very high standards.)

3: I needed to apply to about 50+ jobs.

4: The bar is much, much higher when you're experienced. It's much harder to try a new technology entering a job if you're coming in as experienced. (I have 20 years of C#, and I couldn't get into a Rust job that I wanted with the pay I wanted.)

5: The "stigma" of a layoff only hurts your chances with poorly-run companies. As long as you discuss it in terms of the product lifecycle and imply a "happy ending," no one will care.

After a false start with one company (see item #2,) I found my current job, which is awesome.

The very important thing to realize is that you're going to have to apply to a lot of jobs. I personally don't believe that ageism is real; but if you're mid career, the expectation is that you can perform at a mid-career level. If you're performing on-par with an early-career engineer, then you need to "pivot" and direct yourself to take advantage of your strengths.
Many who fought the Soviets in the SS did not think what they were doing was wrong. Read up on the Estonian Waffen SS devision. They have a peculiar history. SS Foreign regiments were controversial at the time, and some were declared as non-culpable in the Nuremberg Trails as they were classified as "conscripts". Obviously this man is different, as he volunteered in a regiment that was itself classified as criminal, however it's possible he was expecting similar treatment.
True but irrelevant. A stupid doctor still has years of training, resources to assist, and access to smarter doctors.

A TikTok mom will (typically) have anecdata at best.
The government even ASKING about accounts and when they're going to be removed or censored is a clear violation of the 1st amendment. Whether it was done every single time they asked is irrelevant. One time is more than enough. Nothing is getting blow up, you just don't like the information you're getting because it goes against the team you're rooting for.

I don't want a government or DOJ in place that allows me to have my 1st amendment rights "most of the time" except the times they don't like me having it. Are you serious with this comment?
Within a couple days, you'll see influencers on IG/TikTok warning "don't get a covid booster this fall or your vag will explode".

Because that's what happens when shoddy science reporting -> lax journalism ethics -> sensationalistic lies spread across social media -> people living in echo chambers -> lack of knowledge and critical thinking abilities.
China Aims to Use Particle Accelerators to Build Chips and Evade EUV Sanctions
This reads like a disguised ad for AirGradient, which pops up here every now and then. I fell for it because it claimed to be "open". Well, although it is definitely more "open" than most, it feels like an afterthought.

See for example this: https://forum.airgradient.com/t/airgradient-diy-pro-pcb-3-7-..., linked to a Github issue opened in June.

Somehow, the source code for the new version has been overwritten by an older (CC-BY-NC) version, yet the issue has been left to rot, both on the support forum and on Github, letting me to think that the "openness" is mostly a posture to lure the HN crowd. Additionally, the -NC clause is definitely a deal breaker, and I should have investigated further before giving them my money.

(it sucks to air it out in public here, but apparently the AirGradient folks don't care much about issues raised on their own forum).

The hard part isn't so much writing the code as it is testing the code. The WINE server is decades old, porting API calls to another kernel isn't an entirely new or novel process. Getting all the software to work right is an ongoing process though, and it requires careful deliberation over what works and what doesn't. WINE code is still being refined to this day in response to new titles and old bugfixes.

So, I won't preclude the idea of AI helping, but I think human effort is still the bottleneck for projects like this. Even if AI could write perfect code 100% of the time, testing and troubleshooting would probably still be the larger timesink.
There's this general error as seeing too many things in black and white, as a battle of two sides, one being the good and the other the evil. No, not all Ukrainians are heroes or saints, nor were they so. Right now they are invaded, true, but this doesn't erase any dark spots from their past. So let Putin bark his lies for as long as he want, and let those who must pay for their past deeds, pay for them. Or not, if a court decides they are not guilty - remember the guy is only charged, not convicted.
Clearly Rich Sutton is a giant in AI for his contributions in RL, but his recent brief talk "AI Succession" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgHFMolXs3U) made me worry a bit about the sort of perspective he has on what the "good" outcome here looks like. I say this as someone who is generally optimistic about the promise of AGI. I have no love for the machines as a "species", and by Rich's definition here, yeah, I am "specist" in favor of humans. I think we should use technology for our own benefit, and that it's not inevitable that machines "replace" us.

I also think his framing of the counterarguments is not charitable. The serious AI-risk arguments do not argue that a super-intelligent AI will necessarily be evil. They only argue that its motivations will be unaligned with ours, that it will be more competent in achieving goals than us, and that this will be bad for humans as a side effect. I think a good comparison is humans building a highway that incidentally crushes an ant colony. They didn't set out on an evil mission to destroy ants because they hate them, it just happened as a side effect of something the humans wanted. No evil required.

Today I asked ChatGPT about ArchLinux autoupdate. The question was:

```
As a rolling-release distro, is it recommended to perform automatic update on my Arch Linux system?
```

ChatGPT replied:

```
Yes, it is generally recommended to enable automatic updates on an Arch Linux
system. Arch Linux is a rolling-release distribution, which means that it
provides frequent updates to keep your system up to date with the latest
software and security patches. Enabling automatic updates helps ensure that
your system stays current and secure without manual intervention. However, it's
still important to regularly review update logs and be cautious of any
potential issues that automatic updates may introduce.
```

But when I saw Arch forum thread on above topic [1], its first answer said:

```
Bad idea, archlinux / pacman expect a human to make some decisions.
You'd have to check pacman log after every "automatic update" for problems.
```

But AFAIK, you have to roll out your own autoupdate solution since there is
none of such thing in pacman itself. Hence why pacman -Syu always asks me
on every update.

If anything, I'm grateful to this article for exposing me to this Bill Gates deposition. I had no idea he was so repugnant and incompetent liar. Sometimes, in my mind, I'm trying to justify the clearly bad actions by big corporations by saying something like "maybe they don't know" or "maybe they are in a tight spot between many bad choices", but here it's loud and clear that it was deliberate. He and his buddies knew what they were doing, they knew it was wrong and they didn't care. Neither had he the guts to own up to his wrongdoing.
They need a large runtime and are slow to start up.
But these people all existed 10, 20, 30 years ago, they have existed and will continue to exist throughout humanity. You cannot fix stupid. What is the solution, to control 'The Message'?

I agree with the parent. I grew up on the 90s internet, where you didn't believe anything on it! Somewhere along the lines this changed (I blame 2007 -- the iPhone / huge numbers of people going online during this period), and that is the problem.

If we have an issue, it's that people take information on the internet as gospel, hopefully if there's so much absolute dogshit on it, it will make people skeptical again.
> Post-truth’s overwhelming flood of true, false, and irrelevant claims is empowering critical thinking. It’s offering freedom.

By and large, critical thinking hasn't been taught effectively in public schools for at least 10 years now. Even when it was, only a fraction of the public were able to think independently and logically in such a way as to eliminate spurious data/voices and deduce the truth accurately.

Far from empowering critical thinking, this lack of truth is creating a powerful vacuum that can easily be filled by propaganda and harmful ideology.

No wonder the US's adversaries are so active on our social networks.

WantedBy=multi-user.target

This is the mechanism by which one unit can ask to be added to the Wants= of another when it is installed.

i.e., when you run 'systemctl enable whatever.service', it will be symlinked into '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants'. And 'systemctl show multi-user.target' will show 'whatever.service' in its Wants property.

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.uni...

During bootup of a headless system, the 'default' target is usually multi-user.target, so what we've done here is ensure that whatever.service will be started before the machine finishes booting.

> Magnus got beat and he couldn't handle it.

I've repeatedly seen Carlsen delighted when someone beats him.

Niemann has admitted to cheating when he was a teenager. And this wasn't in the distant mists of time, as this sort of phrasing implies. Niemann was still a teenager when Carlsen's accusation occurred.

Now, I think it's likely he's cheated more than he's admitted to, but I don't know that it's likely that he's ever cheated OTB.

perhaps because the threat of "comply or there will be consequences" worked.
Agree with the sentiment, but not the magnitude.

We are still going to need on-ramps/off-ramps and it would be better if they were legal and regulated to be small. Exchanges are still going to be needed. "Retail banking" with managed wallets are still going to be needed. Only allow them to operate in one country, put a cap on the the maximum amount of funds/accounts they can have and get rid of any "investment" scheme.

Essentially, something like the crypto version of credit co-ops.

The Heist
I partly feel that the real reason it was a waste of money is that after it was finished, the country was too nervous due to Francis Gary Powers' U-2 being shot down to actually try using the SR-71 for its original purpose of flying over the Soviet Union, meaning they were using a very expensive plane for the missions.

Ironically enough, the much cheaper but less impressive U-2 is still in use today.
