Yep. Much of this is sentimental. I associate Java with Sun, which doesn't have the same aura of evil as MSFT or Oracle. Thus I hate Java mostly based on its technical merits and the thousands of hours I've wasted with it.

While this is sentimental, as in it can't be exhaustively explained by logic and known facts, I still think it's somewhat rational. Fool me once etc.

The newer generations probably don't really grasp what MSFT pulled on OSS, developers and computing in general to make it the monopoly it is. It's possible that it has changed course, but I'll probably never trust it has.
If Apple files a complaint with Google it will definitely get taken down under this clause, so I think the only way it will stay up is if Apple doesn’t care.

With the trouble Apple goes through to ensure you are accessing APNS from an Apple device including obfuscating the signing algorithm and requiring unique hardware identifiers I think it’s safe to assume they don’t want 3rd parties accessing their services.
Most people don’t know what a rootkit is!
European parliamentary insights on bias and regulation, preceding the AI Act
"The statements released by each of the main political parties delineate distinct party-driven perspectives on AI development, bias mitigation and the management of the data economy. Notably, the EPP Group underscores the importance of AI bias detection and mitigation, data quality and international collaboration, in line with their party's proclivity for fostering ethical and human-centric AI solutions in a global market context. In contrast, the S&D Group prioritises strict adherence to EU legislation, human rights and non-discrimination in AI, consistent with their commitment to ensuring equitable treatment and engendering trust among citizens. Renew Europe's strong emphasis on fundamental rights and data fairness mirrors their party's overarching values. The Greens/EFA, meanwhile, place a strong focus on averting AI bias and granting citizens greater empowerment, a reflection of their commitment to a human-centric approach to AI."

A notable limitation in the study is that the author assumes MEPs and their political groups to be fully independent, autonomous agents, whereas, in reality, lobbying and interest group politics are fierce. Thus, the question of who really is pushing whichever agenda still remains unclear.
Sumsung Android Clipboard Missing
Today I lost access to the clipboard on my phone. Any attempt at saving text to clipboard fails. it shows some urls instead of copied text such as to yahoo.com and news.ycombinator.com Tutorials not helpful. Anyone who can figure this out for me would save me a trip to the store. Amazing how hard it is to use smartphones even after many years. Still can't figure them out fully. I see the triple dots but no clipboard icon. that is gone. This problem just began today.
The idea is that it's harder to read and much easier to skim over. It does elicit curiosity, but if everytime you take that effort and you end up reading nonsense, you're gonna assossiate that fade with nonsense.

I'd say it's the most interesting interpretation of "ignore the troll" that I've seen, if nothing else.
Key Tips for Building Better LLM-Powered Apps
OpenAI behaves as though everyone else's outputs are fair game for training LLMs, including GPT, but doesn't want others using GPT's output?

So, when OpenAI does it, it's transformative, but when we do it, it's not?

That's not right, and I don't think the courts will rule in their favor.
Sure it's well understood that it's a service fail and poor quality service leads to piracy.
fwiw, networking wasn't a required class at my school. neither was databases, weirdly, nor anything web-adjacent (no JS, no HTML or CSS.)

...huh. I'm realizing my CS department was pretty weak. but tbf I knew how traceroute worked by high school, so it didn't matter.
The copyright notice on the output is a poor choice, since you almost certainly do not own the copyright to any of the content. You've gone to impressive lengths to ensure that the result is true to the source material, which means that there is no claim to this being a transformative work.

(Very cool and useful project, though.)
SmartTube is good for this. It needs to be installed by the APK and updated manually but that’s the only friction I’ve encountered. Been using for around a year I’d say.

It even has SponsorBlock built in, so it can be configured to skip things like intros, recaps, or sponsor segments.
Steam on Xbox? Seriously? Do you use Xbox? Do you really think that a secondary app store would be beneficial in any way, considering that Valve would take a cut of profits? Who would list their app for sale on Steam on Xbox when they would make less money? I suppose you think Microsoft could waive their own fee on the Steam on Xbox store, because you think that they're capable of keeping the servers running out of the goodness of their hearts, on wishes and dreams, and not money? I suppose you think that Microsoft is a large company, and that they should be okay with losing money, for your sake, simply because you think they should. Come back to reality.

A lot of people on HN hate Microsoft, and they post really low-thought demands the company ("make everything free or you're evil"), which I guess is fun for them, but gets tiresome after awhile. When I come to HN it's jarring to see the otherwise mostly-intelligent debate devolve into the worst doublethink and schoolyard debate tactics that people can dream up. Sadly it's a self-reinforcing effect because people see these low-thought snipes and demands and think that this is the pinnacle of hiqh-quality debate ("What? I don't have to think? I can just post random anti-Microsoft things and people will congratulate me? Cool!") And if someone doesn't respond to this post with a "Microsoft is evil so its okay that we sacrifice the debate quality on HN to somehow 'get them'" then I'll be shocked.
Fair point, I like the component library, and it's clunky but powerful.

createTheme() (from this library) seems clunky too, but makes sense.

It’s not theft, but they are negative profit users. What competition would start up to collect these users?

It’s more like a restaurant kicking out a group that just wants to sit at a table for free without buying anything.
In Firefox you can right click and choose to copy links without tracking. Another reason why every hacker should switch to Firefox.
Also a good time to shelve any binary search because linear search will beat it for short sequences. The threshold varies by platform.
Gosh, but you wouldn't download a car even if you could, would you?
I really enjoy when libraries or languages have a “Thinking in X” post of some kind. I find it really helps orient me once I actually get to writing some code. If anybody has any “Thinking in X” examples that you have found particularly useful, let me know!
> I think the current YT Premium model is more fair

I don't think it is entirely fair to invent problems for people and then demand payment from them to stop getting in their way. That said, I don't object to Google providing people with the option of giving their money to Google either, I just don't think they need the strong arm tactics.

> Likewise with YouTube, nobody will donate to well-made instructional videos or original news reporting

There are countless examples to prove you wrong. Many people on youtube doing original news reporting and providing instructional videos get donations and many earn their living entirely from money they made on youtube (either from those people who choose to donate their money directly, or those who pay Google for Premium, or those who choose to allow themselves to be subjected to ads).
NiceGUI looks interesting, reminds me of reflex.dev a little bit.

What he should have written is "I've never experienced it in the last 20 years of purchasing digital media, am not acquainted with anyone who has even though most people I know purchase digital media, and it is only been reported a handful of times".

Unless it happens a lot but doesn't get any publicity, which seems pretty unlikely as there are too many widely read forums where people it happened to would report it, and too many publications like Ars, Tech Dirt, The Register, Torrent Freak, and many others that would jump on any such story, we must indeed conclude that it is not common.

The important question is not if it is common but rather will it become common?

Discovery is part of Warner, which is currently being run by someone who will kill content for the tax write offs. He killed "Final Space" for a tax write off, cancelling future season and pulling existing seasons from streaming and sale. And last year they killed a movie, "Acme vs. Coyote", that they had completed and scheduled for release because they decided they'd rather write it off.

Because of that right now I would not buy any streaming content from Warner. In the specific case of Discovery it looks like they are just pulling it from other platforms so that it can be exclusive to services they own, like Max and Discovery+.

That probably means it is safe for now to buy Warner owned content through Warner owned platforms, but I'd worry that in the future they will decide to write it off and it will leave their own platforms too.
Have you ever received C&D for your work? There's a big problem of OSS projects being TOS-trolled by billion dollar companies and having to shut down out of fear.
If they have DRM.

If they don’t, the only issue is making sure you have backed up your stuff.

Luckily Dark Souls got re-released on Steam without Windows Live. Until that point my purchased physical copy was unusable. Well, it's still unusable but at least the CD key got me a working version.
Fluvio Stateful Service Development Kit is in Dev Preview. State operations, windows are part of SSDK.

A decent analog for Fluvio the core functionality of Kafka + Flink + Airflow. Distributed streaming + stateful stream processing + workflow orchestration.

Arroyo and Flink are great stream processing engines with SQL interfaces. Flink is more mature and Arroyo is fast and light since it is written in Rust.

The 2 key differences are:
- The implementation of Fluvio SSDK is using the wasm component model, which natively enables polyglot interfaces. Fluvio operates using YAML to express schema, operators, state, and windows.
- Fluvio SSDK provides a scaffolding for composing end to end event streaming flows in a single composable paradigm to reduce context switching and make the process of development simpler and uniform.
Why does the tutorial for creating a demo app, https://source.android.com/docs/core/virtualization/writeavf..., only work on Cuttlefish (emulator)?

Nevermind, only the demo app, not the tutorial, so who knows what its doing.

Nowhere in this "article" is the title claim (that the CIA is or ever has funded Signal) actually substantiated or cited.

Justifying insurance with a possible future event that may not happen is another.

> that would necessitate constant retraining

You wouldn't necessarily need to retrain that frequently. If your model outputs hashes / vectors that can be used for searching, you just need to run inference on your new data as it comes in.
This sound more like an argument for companies needing to be punished for retaliating against refunds and chargebacks, more than an argument for piracy.
Won't using such third-party clients cause your account to get flagged?
Android users don't have platform specific messaging apps as far as I know, so the fact that some people use iMessage as their normal is mostly inconsequential to Android users, but not the other way around since things appear differently based entirely on the platform. But I suppose I answered my own question, and something like this would enable iMessage to be more platform-independent, and thus an iOS user could hypothetically switch to Android without concern that they'll be ostracized from their messaging group or whatever.
> Why do you think that data is valuable?
If I am not logged in and I have "Do Not Track", it's illegal for them to track my usage for marketing purposes, let alone show me personalized ads.

The only way they are allowed to legally monetize data for marketing purposes is to find other users that don't have do-not-track + opted in for marketing targeting, and show the ads to them.

Additionally, they can (and do) utilize bulk usage data (from many people) by feeding it into their ecosystem. For example, a video about cats being more popular than another will pop up higher on the search rankings when somebody searches for "cat". User "labor"/interest moderates the content on the platform, which makes it more attractive, and increases the overall number and engagement of users. Out of those users there is some % that have opted in for marketing, and can be legally targeted by personalized ads.

You know, if Apple wanted to be really snarky, they could run some of those "Make Apple support RCS" ads, except with Google Voice.
It was selecting seats that was too broken to continue, though I mean, I already "worked around" the issue. I tried until it was less work to redo all the manual data entry in Chromium, I usually try pretty hard to avoid using it.

I don't doubt that it works for a bunch of people, others have stated things that don't work and had others say they do work, so something is up. Maybe we're using different versions or operating systems or installation dates with old configuration data.

Also most nuclear reactors are run at near full capacity and load variance is dealt with by other energy types. The reason is that the cost base isn't really fuel but the construction and running which is all fixed so regardless of energy pricing the reactor is just run at its peak stable performance all the time.

This is a process very few nuclear power stations do, they get started and then they stay running for enormous lengths of time stopping only for fuel replacements or other maintenance.
The people creating that value get very little from ad revenue. Google keeps most of the money. This is why many creators are turning to Patreon, etc.

I just realized I don't know traceroute as well as I thought I did. apparently Unix systems send UDP packets, while Windows sends ICMP. which maybe explains why I've had such a miserable experience with traceroute on the modern Internet, because many ISPs block ICMP from outside.
The title is absolute clickbait. The CIA funded Radio Free Asia, which then operated the Open Technology Fund until it was broken out as a separate entity.

FWIW, the Open Technology Fund also helps fund WireGuard, OpenVPN, and NoScript, among others.
Are you being cheeky? Cause I would think insertion sort would be a more than reasonable alternative
Get out while you still can! I think a lot of software engineers are only content with their job because they're unaware to the alternatives to working as a corporate drone. You might be good at it and it might comfortably bring in a lot of money but it doesn't sound like that's what you truly care about so they're not really convincing arguments.
> if I spin up a VM with networking disabled I feel pretty confident I can run anything safely, even malware is not going to escape.

You are putting too much faith in your VM monitor to keep you safe. There's a lot of attack surface in (for example) QEMU peripherals, and there's plenty of examples of VM escape [1]. CrosVM is probably the only publicly available VMM I'd be willing to trust, and even then I'd be nervous running state-sponsored malware on a machine with important data.

I'm not worried about the government, I'm more worried about inscrutable decisions made by companies like Google, where their automated systems decide that you're an anomaly, and thus malicious, and choose to ban you.

Instead of just losing your account, you (or at least both your machine and your digital ID) are banned for good. This already happens with phones, where the entire device gets banned by apps for good, adding a layer of digital ID on top of it worsens the consequences of such decisions by platform owners against users.

> Remote attestation is the norm for many types of apps already yet I can use my bank app on my rooted phone just fine,

Many people can't on their rooted phones, and this cat-and-mouse game will eventually be won by the parties with million/billions to throw at it.
MLX: An array framework for Apple Silicon
A sort of edge case is when Atlanta startup 'Beltline & Co' had to change their name because it conflicted with the Atlanta Beltline, a multiuse trail system encircling the central part of the city. The Beltline is certainly a place, but it only has a cohesive form due to the Beltline project being developed by Atlanta BeltLine Inc. and Atlanta BeltLine Partnership.
You are aware services like that rose to prominence precisely because people decided to sacrifice ownership for rentals, right?

You didn't pay $10 for perpetual ownership of IASIP. You paid $10 for a month of access to Netflix or whatever service hosted that show. I still buy physical media or digital downloads of any work I want to keep for more than a month because I value it for those cases.
Apple may not buy WhatsApp will. If there's ever a commercial or OSS third party WhatsApp voice client I would expect they will try to send their Perkins Coie dogs after the project. They've already done it to many oss projects, terrifying Devs from continuing their work

I am surprised that lack of control and customizability over the frontend is being billed as a feature.

I've built multiple internal tools like those in the example section, and even with a solid framework like react-admin, one of the first requests you're going to get from internal stakeholders is tweaks to the UI.

It's a myth that internal users aren't as demanding as external stakeholders. If anything, they can be more pushy.

I would not want to launch an internal tool, except as an engineering-only POC, unless customizing the frontend were at least as easy as customizing the backend.
Doesn't Chromaprint have to compare the whole song? This is great for detecting duplicates, but Shazam's fingerprint design allows it to match a short snippet to the complete song.
derefr cited one reason but there's another that's relevant to this thread: updates. In the Android model handset manufacturers and carriers decide when (or if) to ship updates. Google distributing their apps through the store gives them a way to roll out new features to a reasonable portion of their user base.
And I’ll still pay to use Kagi.

Genuine Q: what do you find "wrong" about Ada Lovelace's article as it stands today? To me it looks scrupulously fair about her contributions and the amount of disagreement on what exactly she did "first", which seems to account for 99% of the talk page wrangling.

Lovelace's notes are important in the early history of computers, especially since the seventh one contained what many consider to be the first computer program—that is, an algorithm designed to be carried out by a machine. Other historians reject this perspective and point out that Babbage's personal notes from the years 1836/1837 contain the first programs for the engine.[6][better source needed] She also developed a vision of the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching, while many others, including Babbage himself, focused only on those capabilities.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I too was facing the same problem, as with a community-related app the key thing is getting to a critical mass to where it becomes useful.

Interesting, you said about a specific problem, can you expand on what you mean by that?
Pretty much anything will work at that scale depending on your SLAs. You could use Mongo with the higher compression option, add a couple indexes, and be golden. Just do the reporting off a live secondary. I store billions of documents in Mongo on unimpressive hardware (64gb ram, GP3 EBS), adding millions a day. Mongo isn't super fast at aggregations, though...

What kind of aggregation queries? Can you do pre-aggregation?

Citus would probably be my pick if you want SQL.
