Agreed. iOS integration is really key for me. But I can understand that the developer doesn’t have an Apple device and isn’t interested in personally supporting it because of the cost and Apple’s attitude towards open source.
There aren't very many unfortunately, but hopefully Matter will change that (I haven't looked into the protocol in detail tbh - been out of the IoT world for a while).

MQTT is not a good solution. It's a very ad-hoc protocol that really only works if you are a programmer setting up a completely custom system. Obviously manufacturers are not going to cater to that miniscule market.
That's different from what I have in mind. I guess what I really mean is "dine in solitude".
At that point, I ask myself whether it's possible to interface strongly-typed PHP with Java. Like, either a PHP frontend for JVMs (just like Kotlin and whatnot), or run Java code inside PHP in a run-and-throw-away model.

Almost everything but async/threads that I use in Java stuff has an 1:1 mapping.
Again, it's possible because of volume.
Given that this feature would have to be real-time and robust, and given what we know about how AI inference works, I think we can assume that the mechanism will be running locally on the car.

Otherwise you'd be able to drive drunk when out of cellphone range, drive drunk by messing with your car's antenna, drive drunk during system downtime, etc.

It seems plausible that car manufacturers will keep "kill-switch triggered" events local, if only because it's a huge liability, or because of the sentiment behind articles like these.

I think the more interesting question here is a discussion about the public policy tradeoffs of a local-only drunk driving kill-switch.

Cons: lack of user control over their own software and hardware, a slippery slope, cars will be self-driving on a roughly similar timeline anyway, and false-positive edge cases, like someone having a medical emergency getting blocked for driving weird on the way to the hospital.

Pros: 100s of lives saved in the first years, ~100,000s lives saved globally after full global saturation, a reduction in the need for drunk driving enforcement (which itself is extremely totalitarian, with traffic stops, checkpoints, court fees, jail time, suspended licenses, manslaughter convictions, lost jobs, etc.)

I lean against on software freedom principles alone, but it's an interesting decision space, because it's easy to limit specific harms and there is a lot to be gained, even in pure liberty terms. A world where someone who blacked out wakes up with a manslaughter or murder charge does not feel entirely free or fair either, since the conscious action they took was "drink until lose control of drinking." Many of us would rather get pulled over by their car than by a cop, I suspect.

Michael Foucault - Crime and Punishment - The Means of Correct Training [formatting for emphasis mine]:

[A surveillance and hierarchical control] architecture that is no longer built simply to be seen (as with the ostentation of palaces), or to observe the external space (cf, the geometry of fortresses), but to permit an internal, articulated and detailed control - to render visible those who are inside it;

in more general terms, an architecture that would operate to transform individuals:

- to act on those it shelters,

- to provide a hold on their conduct,

- to carry the effects of power right to them,

- to make it possible to know them, to alter them.

Stones can make people docile and knowable. The old simple schemaof confinement and enclosure - thick walls, a heavy gate that prevents entering or leaving- began to be replaced by the calculation of openings, of filled and empty spaces, passages and transparencies.

Foucault has written tomes on this topic — the transformation of the ‘architectures of surveillance and control’ and its internalization as a means of unconscious self-policing. He didn’t live to see the internet and the pervasively present microphones and cameras and “surveillance capitalism”, but he did write the book on it.

It's a different case, because one compares two very different harms: "guilty man goes free" vs "innocent man imprisoned", and the other compares two very similar harms: "person dies".

The whole point of the "Better 10 guilty men go free..." aphorism is that the two harms are not equal, and that a guilty man going free is less than 10% of the harm of an innocent man imprisoned.

The driving interlock case is just a straight up classic trolley problem.

Yes, that was exactly the point. Technology developed in imitation of a much more sophisticated and incompletely understood animal example, for which a more complete theory was developed. And that more complete theory eventually became sophisticated enough to comprehensively explain the biological artifact.

(And in spite of that, we still keep birds around, because not everything of value about birds is captured by an aerodynamic analysis of a bird's wing. Obviously.)
The UK was the EU country that saw the highest number of immigrants from Eastern Europe after those countries joined the EU.

Ironically that is in big part because the UK (along with Ireland) was the only EU country not to restrict it although there was a special provision that allowed it temporarily.

It is that influx of migrants that really changed the country's mood on free movement, which indeed the government could do nothing about.

Then, Merkel's "open door" policy in the year just before the referendum scared people as well.

> Science progress in my opinion has gone too far in many respects and we should not be able to generate science so easily because we will not have the wisdom to use it.

That's all fine but your comment swerved to a completely different controversy in bombastic terms and the guidelines and zillions of HN moderation comments ask you not to do that. It's not complicated or difficult to avoid doing that and you should.

I also throught of ART as a fork of RawTherapee, also forked with the aim to make it easier to use.

I wondered if that is something hard to avoid: Over time features get added, usability worsens. This might be general, but it could apply to FOSS in particular, which often takes a modular approach (cue UNIX philosophy) and rarely includes structures where potentially useful features are rejected in order to keep the whole experience simple.
None of that has anything to do with your original complaint of AI models. It makes it look like you don't actually have any argument against AI development, but it is just another thing to rail against.
Also a failure to deal with climate related catastrophe, and a refusal to help out poor countries will result in the same.

Show HN: Cyclops – dynamical UI for your Kubernetes applications
About the personal assistant, I'm starting to think if it would be worth it for me in the future. Right now I'm still in engineering school so I don't have the money for it but I have so much sideline stuff that I'm hitting the limits of just reminders.

I have a very bad memory for things I have to do but since reminders I set up never appear right when I can do the task I still forget about it.

I have "buy new shoes", or "go to the ophtalmologist" in my phone since 4 months for example.

Are there people here that have a personal assistant and can share their experience ?

Side note : that's one of the reason I think I may have ADHD, I still have the reminder to take an appointment with a psychologist on my phone....
I once worked for a company that ran on the Phoenix Project ideas, treating devs as mechanical cogs in a factory; last time I've heard about them they were shutting down their main subsidiary and laying off most of the staff (already cherry picked from all around the world to minimize costs by automated tests more difficult than interviews at Google) while the leadershi* that led to that kept their positions intact.
TLDR; The user clicked a screenshot of Excel in the documentation, thought it was the app itself, and got surprised it didn't react to input.
Unless you're SAP, you always need to customise whatever you build for every customer.

A couple of months ago, my friend and I started working on Cyclops, a tool that helps deploy applications to a Kubernetes cluster.

We got the idea for the tool because Kubernetes was a nightmare to understand when we started getting our hands dirty with it. Companies we worked for had the issue where all dev teams needed to own their K8s configuration, which in turn slowed down development, and has caused its fair share of outages because applications were misconfigured.

The goal is to save time for developers who are not that familiar with Kubernetes and allow them to click through the UI instead of battling configuration and possibly tearing down your system.

It renders a form dynamically based on your needs; instead of handling YAML files, it transforms your Helm chart into a UI form based on your values schema. UI comes with all the validation rules your schema defines, so developers have less room to make mistakes and follow best practices.

You can check our docs to see how to install it and try it out on our webpage:

> they first need to install snapd and only then my app

This is a reductive argument.

It's not more effort if Snap is already included in the Linux distribution.

This argument only applies if Snap is your only distribution channel.

Otherwise, you could say that distributing a Linux version of the software implies more effort from the user, because they'd need to install Linux first. We're talking alternatives here.

No, it could not. These rare edge cases have nothing on the number of lives taken by reckless drivers.
This is probably a product of location. I live in Houston, Texas, and have made multiple long-distance trips in my EV, including cross-country.

As a side note, looking up km to mi or feet is super easy using Spotlight (or the equivalent in your OS of choice): Cmd+Space to bring it up, and typing "30km" shows me it's 18.64 miles. (it also tells me my EV has a range of 445km, which is much more than 200km)
I was a bit frustrated with my performance in an online game (Battle royale genre) so I just messaged the once EU/NA #1 leaderboard player if he would do some coaching...

Of course he has.
I've used PHP since the early 2000's (I started with PHP 4, I think). The language has improved vastly since then. When combined with the Laravel framework, you've got a first-class platform for building web applications.
We know their brains didn’t grow much after birth, unlike humans, which also suggests faster maturity akin to living apes and likely less social support for extended adolescence.

> neglected an IOMMU, so the baseband (or any other device on the bus) can wreak unlimited havoc

The Librem 5 doesn't need an IOMMU, because it uses separated components, and it uses serial buses (USB 2.0/3.0, SDIO, I2C and I2S) that don't allow direct memory access, so there is absolute no chance of the WiFi/BT, cellular modem, GNSS and USB controller being able to access the RAM or the SoC's cache

Do you think that all laptops are also totally insecure, since they use USB?
Unlike biplanes, CPU's with more transistors are more powerful than those with less. And adding more CPU cores keeps increasing the amount of threads you can run at the same time.

Why would LMM's be more like the biplanes analogy, and less like the CPU analogy?
I own one and tried it for a business trip.
It's a cool nerd-toy. It's not cheap and not always easy to setup for anyone who is not technically savvy.

I like it, but I wonder if I want to carry it when I go carry-on only in Europe. I guess most people will trade some privacy and inconvience for weight- and cost-savings.
Gentoo stable (aka not ~arch) might be rolling release but can also be surprisingly conservative, often getting new versions even after Debian stable.

Gentoo testing (aka ~arch) does come with occasional surprises (although most common is some package update failing to build) but still worth it compared to having to deal with big updates or even reinstalls.
TL;DR:

> one of his colleagues had written a Word document with instructions on how to use Excel. To help the account managers get the message, that document included lots of illustrative screenshots.

> Jeremy realized his user had clicked on a screenshot, which had grown to a size at which it was easily mistaken for Excel itself. This also explained why it would not accept input.

Also, for context, this happened in "late 1990s".
I think we know the answer?
I don't think this is a very useful way to look at things, as those categories I think are either too imprecise to describe reality, or they need to be distorted to describe reality. But we can try.

As an example: say I'm a farmer. I have a load of crop I'll be producing, but I won't know how much I can sell it for. I can sell it on a futures market, where a financial firm buys the crop for a price fixed now. I the farmer get certainty of money, and the financial firm takes the risk of the market in the future. But they think they've modelled things well enough that they will at least break even, and hopefully make a profit.

In that example, the value added by the futures trader is removal of risk. Nothing additional is produced.

What type of value is that, in your conception of value?
Advocating for profit-driven philanthropy.

Can you write short and still be truthful in general?
I frequently use LLM products and have noticed that when a model has to answer truthfully, it tends to produce significantly longer responses, even for concise queries. (Sometimes, adjusting the system prompts and settings can manage this.)

This has led me to conclude that a 'fact' in language usage is not always a clear-cut principle, but rather a complex, evolving consensus that involves multiple perspectives and can be somewhat obscure.
> Co-ops are quite a different form of ownership from private corporations and bring about different kinds of economic organization that is e.g. more robust against offshoring, speculation and asset-stripping.

Can you explain how that is? My conception is if I set up a company today that has as part of its rules the idea that when any employee joins/leaves shares (or virtual shares) with voting rights are rebalanced, do I not have the basic elements of a co-op? Aren't co-ops still for-profit?

Well if people are dissatisfied about how the Conservatives are handling immigration then surely Labour is the last party they would vote for for a tougher stance on the issue, right?

Or we might see a surprising good performance of "Reform UK" but the end result will still likely be Labour in government.

That's why the PVV wins in the Netherlands, and similar parties grow everywhere: both left and right traditional parties have refused to tackle immigration.

So yes, that's ONE OF the options I suggest, though you haven't said what's wrong with it, does it not count as an alternative to toddler average?
Secure DNS (DoT and DoH) is not enough
I think the logic is flawed in thinking this way too. Most products have an overwhelming amount of choice. If you are not in the market for that category of product then the advertisement is not aimed at you. Even if you were annoyed by the the advertisement at that particular moment in time, if you are ever in the market for that category of product then the product will have brand recognition over its competitors and that is what is so huge and valuable.

IMO it is quite like the classic example of the heuristic that there is no such thing as bad press.
Show HN: Fucimo – Simplifying Ad Buying for Everyone
Hello HN. We're Ezgi and Yunus. We built Fucimo: https://fucimo.com. a marketplace designed to make ad buying and selling as frictionless as possible. Our goal was to create a solution that works efficiently across different media channels, providing both ad buyers and sellers with a platform that's easy to navigate. We believe in making the complex simple. Looking forward to your insights and feedback!

In today's fragmented media environment, advertisers and publishers face significant challenges. The process of buying and selling ads across various channels – from digital to print, and outdoor to broadcast – is fraught with inefficiencies. Each channel operates in its silo, often with differing standards and processes, making it difficult for ad buyers to execute a cohesive, cross-channel strategy. This fragmentation not only hampers the effectiveness of advertising campaigns but also leads to wasted resources and time. Fucimo is designed to bridge these gaps, offering a unified platform that brings coherence to multi-channel ad transactions.

We know we don't have all the answers, and that's why your thoughts are so valuable to us. By listening to what you have to say, we can see things from different points of view and find new ways to improve. Your feedback is a big part of this journey, helping us to learn, adapt, and become better at what we do. Again, looking forward to your insights and feedback!
A vehicle kill switch sounds awesome. There is no reason vehicles should be unregulated to the point where you can just drive your car at 120MPH or plow it into a crowd.
I tried it but the two images it generated looked nothing like me and were of the wrong gender and ethnicity
Less dramatic but an example of false-positives with a system like this.

My 2015 Ford has an automated "Driver Rest Suggested" feature with some kind of basic algorithm that detects the driving pattern of someone who's tired (supposedly). I assume it would do the same with an impaired driver?

Anyway, at least a couple of times a month it goes off for some random reason. Right now I just hit "Ok" and it goes away. Thinking that it could now lead to forced immobility of the vehicle is horrifying to me. Every time I get in my car I would be thinking "am I going to get to where I'm going"? Telling someone you missed something as minor as a meeting because your car thought you were drunk is ridiculous. Although if this was widely mandated the response would be "Yeah, I hate when mine does that". What a future.

Impaired driving is unacceptable but this functionality would either need to be calibrated such that you're ridiculously impaired (repeatedly swerving completely across the road) or it would lead to a lot of stranded motorists (and probably still would). In cold climates especially this could absolutely lead to death.
