Outside of the US is a problem when it comes to availability and usability. I’m not going to buy a phone that doesn’t play nicely with my carrier or receive regionally relevant support.

OnePlus is the only brand on that list that makes sense buying in the US.

(Personally I can see why the IR blaster was removed as a feature in US phones. I can’t think of a time I wanted or needed it. How often are y’all losing remotes? My current remote doesn’t even really use IR for anything since the streaming box is controlled by Bluetooth and connected devices including the sound system are controlled by HDMI-CEC. My phone already controls the entire setup via a remote app that utilizes WiFi/Bluetooth).
China has a history of fine manufacturing and they make the iPhone there. Sure there are the factories that turn out junk appliances that are sold under famous brands but some Chinese brands want very much to win customers over with quality and innovation. In photography many of the most interesting products today come from companies like QoCam (stereo, pano, and “bullet time” cameras) or 7Artisans (affordable manual focus lenses with unusual focal length/aperture combinations…. A $200 lens from 7Artisan might compete with a $7000 lens from a Japanese brand, the $7000 lens is better but I can take pictures with the $200 lens that look like nothing you’ve seen.)
Always happy to see new options in the WM space!

My only gripe (and this goes for almost any open source project) is this: please include screenshots! Any program/service that has front-facing UI should have visual references, instead of making users build/run everything just to “see” it.
Ah neat! I missed that thread, thank you.
There are two. THe USDS which works under the office of the President and 18f. Both are subject to the whims of the current president and congress. They can easily be seen as a cost center and while doing great work, are still unable to cover the entire spectrum of federal agency requirements. I am not as familiar with 18F but if the workflow is similar to the USDS, they more like sophisticated consultants to help get government work done.
Range anxiety and charging infrastructure are also major hurdles.

Around 50% of people in the EU live in apartments. Most apartments were built decades ago and lack EV chargers - and, in many cases, enough dedicated parking spots for each unit, but that's a different story.

If people in the states think that charging a Model 3 or Model Y is too time consuming, when close to 90% of Americans live in single family houses, why would the majority of European car buyers be willing to switch to EVs, when they don't even have the option to install an EV charger?

I picked Github simply because Spotube happen to have been pushed there.
And because Github is by far the most popular platform to host projects that gets discovered.
And because they've taken down many projects in the past, blocking broadwide access not just from jurisdictions where not sure what non ethical law makes not certain what illegal.
This is pretty to me.
...you think people primarily create indie games because of profit motive?

That seems to me to betray a deep misunderstanding of the nature of human creativity.

Games are an art medium. Humans will always create art, no matter what tangible rewards are possible.

Instituting a universal basic income, such that people can quit their soul-sucking jobs and still make enough money to pay for food, shelter, heat, etc, will absolutely create a huge boom in art of all kinds. That includes indie games.
Regarding number 5, one company I worked for had the donut rule: if you left your computer unlocked, everyone was within their rights to send an email to the whole company offering to buy everybody donuts. It was expected that you would follow through (with whatever treats you deemed appropriate, didn't have to be sugary stuff). Of course this highlighted the security advantages of using a DVORAK layout on your keyboard and only sending email with Emacs which probably wasn't the intended effect, but every little helps.
It doesn't make sense to say "pinched". Much like the debt isn't being "left to their children" - the children will likely choose not to pay it, it isn't written in stone. What they can be accused of is refusing to build a better future for their children.

They legislated and partially fossilised the state of society in the 1980s, redirected mush of the physical growth and development to China and set up a slowly declining society in a weird type of fast growing stasis. It is unarguable that the technical state of society in 2024 is better than in the 80s. But looking at Asia, the rate of growth outside of tech is not where it really should be for a healthy economy. Energy availability per capita is down however, and adjusted by the M2 a lot of the financial indicators haven't improved as much as people like to pretend. It is a politically stressed situation where a lot of people feel - justifiably in my view - like they are worse off.

It'd be fascinating to have a counterfactual where the boomers didn't get spooked and execute the nuclear industry. If energy prices had dropped by an order of magnitude, we'd probably be seeing a different world right now.
Tell HN: Atlassian Intelligence "hallucinated" a runbook during an incident
Today I had a pretty bizarre experience with a new feature in Confluence: when you search the wiki you may now get a big widget at the top of the results with some LLM generated text, similar to what Bing and Quora does nowadays.

In my case I was searching for a specific runbook with a bunch of aws and k8s commands, so this AI suggested a mix of several wiki pages and it wasn't completely wrong but the answer did include for instance a wrong environment variable, "AWS_ENV", instead of "AWS_PROFILE", to specify the deployment environment...

It looks like this functionality is automatically triggered when your search query looks like a question, unfortunately that's also common for runbook titles.

Business value only matters if you can capture it.
You seem to be missing the point that not all historical patterns repeat. Good luck with your investments.
It may be difficult to freeride, you still need to know in depth how the product exactly works if you want to provide consultancy and support.

Freeriding would break on the first tricky support ticket or the first feature you'd need in the product that isn't there yet. You get to know the product well enough if you start contributing and interacting with the main contributors, at which point you stop freeriding and you become a partner instead.

The other way to do this would be to get an agreement from the main developers so you can be supported on your consulting and support activities, in which case you also become a partner.

I tend to think both outcomes as beneficial to the main devs, who can always stop collaborating if it turns out they are not.

Now, if your product is something for which nobody needs support or consultancy, you risk having the MongoDB-Amazon issue.
Should have used "squirrel", Germans trying to say that is hilarious.
As a private person and startup founder the things I value about open source from a practical perspective are

- being able to just read the source to figure out what's going on

- being able to fix bugs

- being able to add features I need

- being able to upstream those changes so others can profit and help maintain them

- being able to self-host the software

Open Source ticks all those boxes, whether it's on the "laissez-faire" end of the spectrum (BSD) or the "Stallman" side of the spectrum (AGPL). (though the more "Stallman" a license is the fewer situations where I can use it). But the BSL also ticks all those boxes. I get it's not as ideologically pure, but it still meets most of the ideals of the original open source/libre software movements.
It's simple - after sanctions, the Chinese got a much bigger pie of the Russian car market.
Maybe I should have addressed this one more directly in the post.

>Your users can just host their own version instead of paying you.

The main value in Supabase (the hosted service) is we do the hosting, maintenance, monitoring, compliance, security etc. which otherwise requires (expensive) in-house expertise.

This should be enough without needing to resort to deliberately leaving out features, and I think this generalizes to other products as well (sentry, plausible, the-open-source-strava-alternative, etc.)

No you are right. I just meant that if you deploy a GPL service internally and the service somehow makes its way outside the organization, you don’t have to distribute the source code or anything.

But with AGPL, you now have to. Ensuring compliance is costlier.
Let Detroit Go Bankrupt (2008)
And nobody on the team had a reasonably fresh checkout of the repo on their local machine?

To put it bluntly, this story does not sound credible. It's also one of the first things you say in the pitch, which taints everything you write later. I would suggest focusing on what you do well, not in making up stories about data loss with what you perceive as the competition.

(It's especially odd when Git isn't the obvious competition; Perforce is.)

Hologram lecturers thrill students at trailblazing UK university
I thought it was an observation about what the British actually did, not about what they might have done in some counterfactual world where somehow the Crimean War still existed even though the preceding 80 years of history were drastically different.

This counterfactual world doesn't make any sense. Why would the British Empire "[take] up land across the Bering Straights" from sparsely populated Alaska when they can come in from the south using established colonies in Asia which are closer?

How are these colonists supposed to get to "Georgetown" nee Vladivostok from the British American Pacific Coast?

It's not like Alaska or the Pacific Coast had much in the way of shipbuilding at the time, so the transport and war ships would have to come from, what, England?, the American East Coast? Then go around South America (about 14,000 nautical miles), pick up colonists and troops in sparely settled Alaska/western North America, to settle an area which is much harsher than they are used to? Because why?

The distances are huge and the available American population small.

The sea distance from Sitka to Vladivostok is 3,651 nautical miles, which is a bit further than the 3,342 nautical miles from London to New York. From Juneau it's 3,720 nautical miles. Problem is, there are almost no potential colonists to draw from as they have fewer than 1,000 people in the 1880 census, and only a few hundred were non-aboriginal and non-Russian. From Vancouver it's 4,262 nautical miles, but Vancouver Island's non-aboriginal population was about 500 in the 1850s. It's 4,554 nm to San Francisco, which in our timeline is the first place you could get colonists - because of the new settlers drawn there by the Gold Rush. (Distances from https://sea-distances.org/ , population numbers from Wikipedia.)

From Hong Kong to Vladivostok it's only 1,639 nautical miles, from Singapore 3,007 nautical miles. Both are closer, can act as staging areas, and can draw from much better established British colonies in Asia and Oceania. Kolkata, at 4,657 nm, is only slightly further away from Vladivostok than San Francisco is. Even Boston-Vladivostok via the Cape of Good Hope is shorter than going around South America.

Even if Vladivostok had been turned into a British colony, there's still a lot of territory between there and the Bering Strait several thousand km away Vladivostok is 2,586 nautical miles sea distance from Nome, which I'm taking as a proxy for the Bering Strait. As a comparison, the sea distance from Boston to Houston is 2,142 nautical miles. Who is taking all that land from the Russians?

The article has a nice graph where you can see Chinese had a 20 - 25% market share and the Western/Japanese has the remainder in the ICE era. Suddenly in the last years the Western/Japanse traditional manufacturers are squeezed to 40% and the trend looks, well, devastating.

So yeah, the made ICEs but also in the home market that was not a convincing product.

competition will solve that reticence or it won't.

If your competitor is successfully using GPL-licensed code and you're building it all in-house, one of you is going to move faster.
I am ?abbergasted.
I agree, there are protected reasons.

People may -want- distribution of source code to be a protected reason, but there is no language supporting that in OSS or Free licenses, and not court or legislation has ruled that it is protected.

Since the default for all reasons I "unprotected", it follows this is unprotected until a court / Congress rules otherwise.

"Wishing" is not a legal strategy, and in the area of licenses it's the law that matters.
If anything it will strengthen the opposition to GPL and push even more for non-copyleft licenses in big corps.

See the OS FOSS for IoT, none of them is GPL, including ironically sponsored Linux Foundation's Zephyr.
Conspiracy theories, Al, and the politician he most admires
A family member got a BYD Dolphin recently and it seems really nice. Not quite as chic and Apple-esque as a Tesla but heaps of cool features, surprisingly quick for a non-sports model, gets better range than advertised. Given the price relative to other similar vehicles I'm not surprised they're selling like hot cakes.
Exactly right. It's playing out like a bankruptcy: "Slowly at first, then all at once".

Humans have rights insofar they're able to enforce them. Individually by withholding their labor (muscle or brain power), or collectively with pitchforks if need be.

Once labor is dime-a-dozen and pitchforks ineffective (OP's premise of "fully automated economy"), human rights and democracy go the way of dodo, inevitably. Nature loves to optimize away inefficiencies.

Although the "fully automated" bit is quite a stretch at the moment. The end-to-end supply chain required to produce & sustain advanced machinery and AI is too complex, a far cry from "LOL let's buy some GPU and run chatbots".
Even a force push doesn't destroy the reflog or runs the GC server-side. I wonder how you can accidentally loose data with Git. I've seen lot's of people not being able to find it, but really destroying it is hard.

I don't see it as just a thing of ensuring the species, a la Elon. But even if you do, there are countless other scenarios it guards against - self annihilation via nuclear weapon, bioweapons or bioweapons research accident, any of the zillion astronomical phenomena that could screw out atmosphere (like a gamma ray burst, as hypothesized for a cause of one the great mass extinction events), a super volcano explosion (again hypothesized as the cause for a previous mass extinction event), and so on.

I think us doing something on a huge scale that people could actually be proud of, even if they didn't directly take part in it, is something that could be good for society on a much more broad level. We've achieved a lot in "our time", like the internet, but oddly enough it never really felt like an achievement - by contrast the Moon landing is something who got to experience even today speak fondly of.

And in any case, the exceptional cost is only for a truly self sustaining and independent planet, as would be needed in case of a catastrophe. We can "safely" start with a dependent system where various industrial goods can be shipped to e.g. Mars, and ideally even back to Earth as Mars' industry starts to come to life - even silly things like trinkets from Mars' surface, alcohol brewed on Mars, etc. will all be simple and valuable trade goods.

Getting things started will be done for a relatively low cost. Fortunately, thanks to interests like SpaceX this initial seeding need not even come from the public at large. And hopefully once something is there, that will inspire more people to see what could be there.
> This is mostly a configuration issue. I guess this was done by a force push command. IFAIK, you can disable force push by configuration.

If a feature can lead to actual unintended data loss, it should come disabled by default. Are there any other "unsafe by default" features in Git? What would be a sane general default that prevents unwanted data loss, and why is it the case?

Incidentally, that place name is pronounced similarly to sukebe ningen スケベ人間 (lit. a perverted person) in Japanese and that would make an excellent way to distinguish Japaneses as well.
Itanium I'd disagree on. It came out academia but Intel and HP really believed for whatever combination of reasons that it was the path forward although the approach had never worked before.

In general, the US probably does a decent job of funding research. Small scale research orgs within companies are often practical. There are company and government grants to both academia and commercial/academic partnerships. VCs, for their faults, do fund pretty speculative work.

For the reasons you say, big corporate research labs require conditions that are mostly not an unalloyed good at best.
If anything, the AGPL is the modern incarnation of the ideals of the GPL. If SaaS business had been a big thing in 1989 I'm sure the original GPL would have contained wording similar to the AGPL. It's just that back then nobody though of people hosting software as a threat to the free flow of software improvements.
So I asked ai to make a datalog implementation in JavaScript.

// In-memory storage for voted users
const votedUsers = new Set();

// Datalog-like rules
function eligible_to_vote(user) {
return isUserOldEnough(user) && isCanadianCitizen(user);
}

function voted(user, bill) {
return votedUsers.has(`${user}_${bill}`);
}

// Custom rules
function isUserOldEnough(user) {
// Assuming age is stored in user object
return user.age >= 18;
}

function isCanadianCitizen(user) {
// Assuming citizenship information is stored in user object
return user.citizenship === 'Canada';
}

function recordVote(user, bill) {
// Record that the user has voted on the specified bill
votedUsers.add(`${user}_${bill}`);
}

// Example usage
const user = {
name: "user123",
age: 25,
citizenship: "Canada",
};

const bill = "bill456";

if (eligible_to_vote(user)) {
console.log("User is eligible to vote.");

if (!voted(user.name, bill)) {
console.log("User can vote on this bill.");
// Implement further logic for voting...

// Record the vote
recordVote(user.name, bill);
} else {
console.log("User has already voted on this bill.");
}

} else {
console.log("User is not eligible to vote.");
}

Leaving debt for your children but don't want the shame? I have a solution, leave so much debt that nobody could even imagine your children paying it all off, that way you can say condescending stuff like "will likely choose not to pay it, it isn't written in stone" while writing that they will service that debt forever in stone.
Simply because I've been driving TVs for a while and "in the beginning" when there was no rules for brake lights to be turned on when regenerative breaking, I got into trouble (German highways) with cars driving behind me and not being able to anticipate / react fast enough when I used it.

Ah, of course, I knew I was forgetting one. They did start that way although they've branched out since then. For example they sell Everspace 2, which is a much newer game.

They actually might be my favorite since all the games they sell are DRM-free. You can download the installer of every one of their games locally and they'll run "forever" without any dependency on GOG or their Galaxy library app (unlike Steam). Though their selection is more limited since IIRC they manually review every game they list.

However, even they tend to favor their "in-house" games (they're a sibling company of CDPR which developed the Witcher games and Cyberpunk 2077 and you'll frequently see those featured prominently there). Not as bad as Epic, though. More in the style of how Steam advertised Half Life 2 and Portal in the early days of Steam.
I think the reason is not western sanctions, but rather decreased local demand in China. Patrick Boyle does a very good job at explaining it:
