For my M.S. I just looked up the relevant PDF merge utility for Linux online. I can't even remember what it was now, but it took the first x pages from the unsigned thesis, intercollated the signed signing page, and then took the remaining pages from the unsigned thesis, and output a single PDF.

Edit: .zsh_history had it:

IIRC the standard Unity Assets store license does allow using assets in other engines. And maybe you also wanna check out KenneyNL if you are looking for open assets for various small stuff.

Those countries simply forbid competitors from selling in their domestic markets.

EU regulations apply equally to EU and non-EU companies, so they won’t lead to homegrown tech champions. More likely they will cement the dominance of US tech giants because they’re the ones who have the resources to follow these regulations.

Java simply has a much higher barrier of entry. Not only in regards to figuring out the language and resources available but also the fact that creating a GUI still requires external dependencies.

Electron isn't just cross platform, it is cross platform based on technologies (html, css and javascript) that also by a huge margin have the largest amount of developers available.
Ask HN: Is there an HN comments based LLM available?
I was wondering: has anyone created an LLM based on HN comments yet?

I’m sure it would be a terrific AI character and help answer many questions I have.
it would suck and it would make headlines. But that's not what happens today, so it's a nil argument. the GP's argument comparing it to rentals/leases makes sense since you aren't truly owning a purchase (and if you are that deadset on stealing a car they probably will literally break into your house). you're buying a license and licenses can be revoked.

Now, if that should be allowed without an explicit mention on the purchase page is certainly something to argue in court.
Don't do that, do this: https://haim.dev/posts/2020-07-28-dual-monitor-kvm/ - free and works great!
Because Ukrainians don't have exclusively humanitarian interests, either.

My point is that using this argument for the Palestinian issue is intellectually dishonest.

Hi! Thanks for your comment.

> but I only saw an option for a monthly subscription.

What do you mean? The annual subscription doesn't work? Or something else?

> I'd be more likely to give you a donation than to pay for a premium version for an app like this.

Well, for my Notes app, I can understand. Hopefully you will find my new app as a breath of fresh air in this space. Sign up to get an update please! I would love to hear what you think when the app is out.

> My observation is that a closed core product with a large open source ecosystem around it gives folks a reason to pay.

Overall, I think people will pay if an app gives them enough value.
I already posted this in another thread here. This particular change is not because isolationism. Most likely.

Russian government added Hetzner to the list of companies who must move their infrastructure within Russian borders in order to operate with Russian citizens. Few years ago they introduced a law on how companies have to process personal data. (It is kinda similar to GDPR, but the government might abuse it in the way to get access to data government needs). Obviously Hetzner doesn't want to create infrastructure on Russian soil. It was quite risky even before the war.

You can find the full list of "lucky" companies in here -- https://236-fz.rkn.gov.ru/agents/list (sorry, it's in Russian, but google translate should help you out).
Maybe.

Please describe what "legally-purchased" means.

If it came from a Kindle, the license agreement your friend agreed to as a condition of using the Kindle Store says "Unless specifically indicated otherwise, you may not sell, rent, lease, distribute, broadcast, sublicense, or otherwise assign any rights to the Kindle Content or any portion of it to any third party, and you may not remove or modify any proprietary notices or labels on the Kindle Content." https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html%3FnodeI...

Is the content protected by DRM? In which case you can be subject to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which "criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself." (Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_A... ).

If your friend bought the epub on a USB stick from a store, and there is no DRM, and no so-called "shrink-license" which forbids transfer (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine#Ownership_... for how that plays out with software) then you are fine, in my decidedly non-lawyer opinion.

Note how that last Wikipedia link comments "if someone buys MP3 songs from Amazon.com, the MP3 files are merely licensed to them and hence they may not be able to resell those MP3 files. However, MP3 songs bought through iTunes Store may be characterized as "sales" because of Apple's language in its EULA and hence they may be resellable, if other requirements of first sale doctrine are met."

Which is why you need to know what your friend means by "legally-purchased."
A problem that often comes up with extensible formats is that whomever comes along and implements them assumes exactly the test cases they came up with, which can often mean "just the files I have for this project" or "just the output of the encoder I have".

So there will be formats that can reorder the chunks, and those minimum-viable readers will all break when they encounter a file from a different source, because they hardcoded a read order. This leads to an experience on the user's end where they need a "fixer" tool to reorder it to deal with the bad decoder.

There were tons of old binary formats that were like this. It can happen with text, but it's less likely to, because a larger proportion of textual formats build over a container like XML or JSON to offload the text parsing, and then they end up with some pre-structured data.

Packaging is fairly simple on Mac and Windows if you use the dev tools for the platform and are not doing things like installing services or drivers or changing OS configuration.

Your packaged app will almost always work too. There are not 50 distributions of these OSes.
Which part of the user agent contains the information you are looking for?
Absolutely! I was focusing on moving toward a generally more privacy-centric way of using a mobile device. Of course an insecure device can be made to neutralize any privacy-protecting measures I've described. However just because a device has a vulnerability doesn't necessarily mean that it will be compromised. In fact I'd be surprised if there is more than, say, a 1% chance that any given random Pixel 7 phone is actually compromised via the baseband code.

Also, that said, if you are personally targeted by your government for surveillance, all bets are off. I don't know how to defend against that, but a potential start would be to eliminate all electronic devices from your person and your house and then to set off a powerful EMP every time you walk through your door when coming back home.

It's refreshing that Google, the same company that makes Android, has recently called out baseband blobs for their poor security.

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2023/03/multiple-inte...

Here's some discussion on the GrapheneOS forum:

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/3942-baseband-vulnerabiliti...

While I'm not convinced it's causing widespread exploitation, baseband blobs are definitely a problem, and hopefully some of the advocacy that Google's Android org puts on phone vendors can get us to a better place. And maybe efforts from organizations like Librem can push us toward modems with fully OSS firmware.
it did miss the internet, and partly thanks to uncompetitive regulation. You will not find the equivalent of gdpr that targets tourism or car manufacturing or fashion because those are large moneymakers in europe. Conversely, no large subsidies for internet or AI either. These industries don't just appear spontaneously

MistralAI is a european company. It makes an unregulated open source AI and they are proud of both , it s actually part of their mission. It worked and it s becoming increasingly popular and successful. How will mistral grow to the size of openAI etc?
We evaluated this but shied away from the complexity... In the end we build a slim version ourself containing

1. A codebuild job running a container image which starts a runner with custom labels

2. A lambda to receive the webhook from github and run the codebuild job on demand.
The director has commented at the Tokyo comic con that he wished it was $15M.
We do not know what amendments have been passed, as Germany and other countries were lobbying for more relaxed regulation after every AI company in the EU called them and told them the regulation was going to make them uncompetitive.
Oh you’ve polled all the people and learned they really believe? Most just “follow orders” and I’m guessing if pressed would see no value to the hallucination. Anti-corporatism is everywhere; how many actually believe as you say? I doubt that many believe and it really just seems beneficial for you to patronize and “correct” others.

Accuracy relative to the dying and long dead’s ignorant political babble is a ridiculous stat to min/max to dial in correctness. Stay in the centrist lane!

Rather than have a forward facing conversation, you reach for history. There’s little point in continuing this conversation

Fly.io for Multi-Cloud?
Is there something like fly.io for multi-cloud?

I like fly’s deployment simplicity but don’t want to only rely on the fly network to deploy applications. Ideally something where I’m able to deploy ephemeral containers on spot instances across clouds and have that orchestrated with auto-scaling. Is there something that gets me to this solution today with today’s open-source tools?
Quoting myself from this very thread:

"I own a Mac an iPhone and an iPad but iMessage and FaceTime are entirely useless to me because no one I communicate with on a regular basis uses Apple devices"

and

"The issue is that I as an Apple user want to be able to use iMessage to communicate with Android users."

To sum it up for you as succinctly as I can: I am an Apple customer expressing unhappiness about some aspects of the product and the product strategy.
I totally appreciate the low tech approach. I think my dream machine is an Elektra MCAL!

Do you use a manual grinder as well? I’ve never used one but they seem rather clumsy to me. Maybe one of those old fashioned ones that mount firmly to the table and have a big brass crank and brass hardware with a wood case!

> Apple closes exploits which allow jailbreaking, precludes it in the EULA. What more would you have them do?

Preventing jailbreaking is not a good thing, in part since that's what allows us to check on what Apple is doing on the device, in regards to privacy, security and e2e encryption. If nobody can check, do you suppose we just accept their statements about the device as fact?

Obscurity can certainly be part of defense in depth, but it unequivocally does not make anything more (meaningfully) secure.

For example, hiding the fact that your data is encrypted with AES doesn’t make an attacker any more likely to be able to break AES. Similarly, hiding the fact that you use a weak encryption algorithm doesn’t keep an attacker from breaking it.
It sounds like you’ve never tried to park downtown. I drove, lived and parked daily for free in Manhattan for 6 years

The entire length of Manhattan from below 14th street/above Houston on every single street has free street parking as long as you can comply with the 1.5 hours twice a week that you can not park there. It’s a few choice streets and aves that are the exception to this.

Business owners and employees park in those spots daily because street cleaning hours take place typically before 11AM, so they just drive in and hang out for 10 mins before getting free parking all day.

Ya buddy, go run the numbers on a wash and fold service or any small business with 6-7% cash on cash returns and lmk how much is left at the end of the month to pay $450 for congestion fees.
You don't have to take my word for it. The former CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, said he didn't believe in the First Amendment,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2icsx9U8M8U

The First Amendment is one of America's distinctive feature vis a vis other countries. It guarantees the freest expression regime there is in the world.

Elon Musk, in acquiring Twitter and firing Parag Agrawal, restored the balance in the force.

I have a theory it is frowned upon because there are not a lot of small shops left. Everyone wants be a cog at a big tech co where its leetcode interviews and code that large groups can (somewhat) easily maintain.

In these cases the languages used are generally uniform so your skills easily transfer and you aren't suffering as many 200% problems by learning both the language and the authors peculiar add-ons.

Of course it still happens just not as easy with rigid languages such as Go.

It's all tradeoffs.
I wonder if it is because the younger generations believe something that happened so long ago must be suspect, when everything today is so incredibly fast and hyper documented. I do not wish to sound like a pessimist, but it would not surprise me that there is someone who believes in the Holocaust did not happen because there would be more photos and videos of it, as if everyone had an iPhone.
Huh, I was expecting 1 month after launch but it took 1 week. Silly PR stunt by Beeper.
I agree with your point the users are at fault, not the technology itself. It's the govt which was separating families wrongly and the schools who discriminated who should suffer, not the companies making the tech.

That being said, this is a problem which regulation can be made to help solve. For example, a rule saying that any sold or licensed LLM to businesses needs to be run against a set of cleaning / filtering models (like the recently-released Purple Llama) before being packed up and sold / hosted. Maybe there can be an exception for individuals and exempt orgs (charities and religions may get an exemption, I could imagine).
> No one can convince me that detecting cancer earlier isn’t, on average, a good thing.

Since no one can convince you, indeed you should not bother to read any of the extensive literature on the subject.

But consider that if indeed it does not extend lifespan, but does extend treatment span, patients will suffer a worse quality of life on painful treatment that does not help and the concomitant fear.

A shame, because you finger health care expense and this phenomenon increases health care expense.

MaxiNutrition Hydration Tabs. Much easier to drop into a glass of water than powder-form electrolytes (no messing around with a spoon etc).

That's not what we are talking about here. We are talking about Twitter's policies or community standards favoring certain points of view over others.

Well, so I can only tell you as much as I know and understand. Some of this pulls in some outdated information too.

So, JVMs and languages that abstract the underlying machine are always going to have overhead. The original interpreted stack-based JVM model is really bad for performance because you can't do great optimizations on the code because you can't have a great view of the operands that are being defined and then subsequently used, on top of that you have to either JIT or interpret code which also has overhead. This is why Android's original Dalvik VM originally started by converting the Sun byte code format to a register based format. So, now you have a format you can do some optimizations on: great. But you still depend on a VM to generate and optimize for native code: that means code-caches and that means using excess memory to store the fast optimized code you want to run (which could have been evicted, so more overhead when you have to regenerate). Next you have frameworks like the classic Swing in Java that were frankly implemented with priorities that did not include having a really great and responsive experience even though its platform agnostic as far as the way it draws widgets. These days we can take GPUs for granted to make this approach work, but a lot of the Java UI stuff came from another era.

I am not really sure if I am right here, but to me all this means that to have made the Java system work well for modern PCs and mobile it would have required a ton of investment. As it turns out, a lot of that investment went into the web and android instead of polishing Sun and Oracle's uh... product.

Java's also kinda been sidelined because for years Oracle threatened to sue anyone that dared fork it as Google had, and Microsoft kinda spent a decade making C# and .NET more confusing than it already was so theres that too.
I like what Bertrand Russell had to say to that very question, in one of Unpopular essays (quoting approximately from memory):

Philosophy is science in the circumstances of insufficient knowledge. That is, given insufficient data it may still be beneficial to ponder possible future directions of research, contemplate lines of attack on long-standing questions, or even determine beforehand how these big questions should be posed. All of these circumscientific activities and thinking together constitute philosophy.
As someone who uses Linux as a daily driver, I can recognize these gargantuan apps a mile away and stay away from them. They are absolute hogs of system resources, and for something simple like Etcher there's no excuse.

Things like Electron are good for devs but bad for users. We have more computation power than ever and yet programs still run slow.

Murder murder murder murder. Sorry, you aren't the boss of us.
Makes sense, thanks for considering (and fwiw I'm also building with a private AI / offline philosophy). In my implementation, the compromise is 1) being super loud with an alert warning the user when they're sharing feedback and 2) providing a setting where the user can turn off feedback buttons. I had gotten user feedback around wanting to tell the AI when it was doing a good/bad job and this seemed like a privacy preserving compromise that could actually improve models. Anyway, good luck and congrats again!
Have you even tried using my app? It doesn't have any of the "mobile design concepts" that you're talking about.

No. It's not. I don't like using hamburger menus for everything myself. This is why the options are minimalistic. Look at other Gnome apps using hamburger menus, no need to go as far as "Apple UI" (which actually discourages hamburger menus for desktops apps).
