Well from here in Hong Kong, it still seems well alive: we still see improving knock-offs year on year of US-designed stuff, I got the habit to go to stores, take a pic, get it auto detected in Taobao and pay 10% of the brand price for an exact copy from Shenzhen that seems to work just as well, not question asked.

What I love is how we can get iphones or other apple stuff repaired within the hour for 10 USD at random street shops, sometimes a small walk away from flagship Apple stores that charge hundreds of dollars for someth that doesnt seem to be sourced differently or at least works just as well.

I dont know how people can live in trademark-enforcing countries now. But maybe it wouldnt scale if no design could be profitable middle-term ?

As a side note, I got a huawei phone recently and I couldnt believe how good it was compared to an iphone: it last longer, it has way more features that even Android takes time to copy back and it looks very premium. I got some friends almost envious until I confess all the hoops I had to go through to get Google stuff working: that stung.
"but if they don't do it until 2030, they might as well give up."

I am not that sure anymore. The Russo-Ukrainian war shattered a lot of my illusions with regard to rationality of leaders. A country with a very bad demographics started a war by deploying clearly insufficient forces (200 000 soldiers are nothing when compared to the size of Ukraine; Germans deployed 12x as more soldiers in 1941 to conquer Ukrainian SSR) and the result is an enormous fuck-up and unendong slaughter of young population which, with current TFRs, will never be replaced.

If Putin can make such a bad judgment, Xi can as well. It is not as if Xi tolerates more dissent/negative feedback to his rule than his Russian counterpart.
We all owe everyone a lot. 99% of what OpenAI - or anyone - has was provided by someone else, from technology (the entire history of computer technology), to science, to infrastructure, an educational system that produces employees, a legal system, financial system, economy, even language, etc. etc. etc.

Our communities don't work on their own; they don't work only by government action; it takes all of us. When we forget that, our communities fall apart, if you haven't noticed yet.

This is a leak of the Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (AI Act).

A significant and in my view in theory a good change is that the purpose has changed from improving the functioning market to promoting the uptake of human centric and trustworthy artificial intelligence while ensuring a high level of protection of health, safety, fundamental rights.

The AI Act will be complimentary to all other existing or in-the-works acts and regulations - which thus are are also applicable to AI systems. ("should be without prejudice to existing Union law, notably on data protection, consumer protection, fundamental rights, employment, and protection of workers, and product safety, to which this Regulation is complementary.")

This includes planned regulations for liability of defective software products which is in the critique for being a potential threat to open source software.

I haven't yet read the 900 pages in full, but the gist seems to be that all the new regulations need to be taken into account when bringing an AI product on the EU market, possibly even for some/many? open source software "products", eg. when they provide binaries and the project is in a way linked to economic activities.

Not a small task.

In practice it looks like this will be the start of all kinds of warnings like "caution beverage is hot" and a lot of insecurity in the beginning.

> it might motivate...

That gut feeling resonates with so many that few care to question it. It just feels right. Problem is, it feels right to the kind of person that habitually weighs the benefits and drawbacks of their actions, is able to reason about consequences and has a good grip on their impulses. Those people would be unlikely to steal Amazon packages even if the sentence was a fine and 30 days of social work because they are usually in a different place in society anyway. (Don't get hung up on exceptions)

Those that decide to steal anyway are often those that think they won't get caught. It doesn't matter if they don't sit in prison for 2 years or for 25. I'm sure there are other dynamics at play as well. Unfortunately I can't cite research to support my claims but then neither can you. So I just invite you to consider them.

> Nothing short of making exceptions transparent to lambda receivers will cut it for me.

If your wish is to have Checked Exceptions be throwable from the lambda, then I understand your point. Still, I stand by argument, which is that they are actively addressing these pain points, but doing so slowly in ways that minimize intrusion.

> Kotlin

If it's not a fair comparison in your eyes, I'll leave it.

> async await in C#

I'd be more willing to accept your point of view if there wasn't so much discussion online about how painful async await is via color-my-function. And that's ignoring the fact that languages such as Go and Erlang have been garnering a big following, in large part due to their concurrency model and how simple it is.

I have had my share of async await too. I think it's no coincidence that many language designers are looking more and more into moving away from async await, thus prompting these PoC's and experiments.

As for the C# link specifically, I interpreted that to be that they felt the pain of async await strongly, and did the PoC in response. However, the PoC did not play well with their async await world, and trying to change the world to make room for it would be too much of a lift. Therefore, they stick with async. I did not interpret it to be that async await was good enough for them, but rather, that improving async await is the best option available to them for now.

> Age of languages

Sure, there are some languages that are a similar age to Java. But those are the languages where I believe the costs for the decisions they made are becoming more apparent. I already gave 1 example with C#. And I think we can both agree that Scala's design philosophy served as a great learning experience for other languages, but was a poor survivability tactic as a language. It feels like the language is buckling under its own weight.

Either way, I am not trying to say that these other languages are bad. Merely that their design philosophies benefit them in the short term, but show cracks in the long term. Java's philosophy, meanwhile, minimizes intrusion, and thus, allows it to sidestep alot of the problems that these other languages are trying to get out of.
The GP was suggesting chucking out django entirely as I read it.
I've been listening a lot to Sean Caroll's mindscape podcast [0]. In it they have this notion of complex-to-intelligent systems. Their loose definition is that such systems can hold an internal state that represents the world around them. A sort of model to interact with and to extrapolate future events from (time travel!). In this light consciousness also makes more sense to me, although consciousness feels more like a by-product, our (human) ability to hold an internal model of the world in our minds and interact with it, is pretty advanced. One can imagine, somehow in the feedback loops (I think, that she thinks, that I think, that she thinks, ...), something like consciousness (awareness [a model?] of the self in the world?) evolved.

Anyway, cells can hold (super) primitive models of the world and maintain internal balance in the face of anticipated events.

I'm just a cocktail philosopher, but aren't we all.

> Air purifiers do not filter dust and should never be bought for that purpose.

What? What do you call the particles it filters, if not dust?

Of course you can do with a prefilter which filters out larger dust particles so they don't clog your finer filter. But most air purifiers come with that from what I've seen.

Ukrainian Journalists Are Emotionally Immersed in the War
As we've talked about emotions a lot, a worthy hypothesis to examine relates to the following claim and the causal chains present in it:

"Covering the news in a war zone, as Ukrainians do, does not make them biased or prone to providing misinformation to the world; instead, they are sacrificing themselves to tell the reality of their country’s nightmare."
They routinely screwup like all large organisations, governments, churches, etc. and need to be watched with a razor eye.

They're not markedly worse than run of the mill (for all their extreme f-ups in some places they have years of "as expected" somewhere else).

My cousin has just exited New Zealand to work here thanks to (non Rio Tinto) Oil & Gas extracters going bankrupt and leaving the NZ taxpayer with a clean up bill.

To clarify, that's the NZ-local operating arm of an international O&G energy Co. going locally bankrupt in NZ, not the parent company.

That sucks.

I blame the NZ Govt. (my apologies) for not getting up front { deposits | guarentees | meaningful bonds } to cover exit and rehabilition costs (which I understand they have recently introduced legislation to do so in future).

All Corporations are Crooks! (in the sense that they will, at most, do the least they can).

All that typed, here at least Rio is on the up and up in so far as they are in fact trialling solar power, hydrogen generation, and many things that are making running costs cheaper for Rio Tinto along with increased profits.

Ask HN: What Is a "Living Standard"?
Came across this: [https://whatwg.org/principles] that speaks of a technical standard being "living". It is explained as ""Living Standard" means a single, unified technical specification, published by the WHATWG as a Living Standard." Which makes little sense, i.e. using the term to define itself. Someone also called JSON a living standard. What is this philosophy?
All web searches seem futile as they point to "standards of living" related material.
So, what makes a standard "living standard"?

I'm that close to do the same for my child's nightlight: just shunt power around whatever is opening the circuit and drive it with a Shelly plug.

(Okay the grand idea would be to ultimately put an ESP32 between the control unit and the three buttons, so that I can both operate it manually yet have full control of the thing; not the least because if you cut power it resets its state to a static white light. Never done that so that'd be nice way to acquire the skill without much risk to that super cheap device)

> I know that it was not deliberate

Although I never underestimate human stupidity or laziness for misrepresentation of numbers/statistics/etc, it's usually some poor SME that writes the report, and then the Manager sees the "60%", freaks out, asks the SME to rewrite making it softer, and thus the truth is (given a serious effort to be hidden).

I've been writing audit, security, and other reports a big part of my life. I tend to write numbers in the form of "5 out of 100 X (5%) examined, regarding the Y process, failed due to..". It freaks out anyone who reads my reports, but, hey, they pay me for accuracy and truth. Once I send it (and it's 'untouched' on my Sent Items), they can do whatever they want with it, as long as they put THEIR names & signatures in the bottom if they change a single word (sorry for the cynicism but there exists no corporate hill that I want to die on) - also you never know when a regulator will come back 6.5 years later and ask about THAT job scheduler that was transferring £€$5bn per day between X-system and Y-system.

I cannot recount the AMOUNT of times my report has 'softer' writing in the end, and it's their prerogative. But "it's not deliberate"????? No way in hell!!! Manager --> Director --> C-suite --> Audit Committee --> Regulator. EVERYONE will change a couple of words, and instead of a dumpster fire (Red) it will end up being Yellow.

Smallest surface area??! There's no excuse for Unix forcing you to use the fractally complex sucking chest wound of ioctl and brittle binary raw pointerless C structures in memory, instead of simply calling functions and passing normal parameters and pointers and results in and out.

"Everything is a file" is pointlessly performative but hopelessly incomplete Bauhaus Minimalism that fails to reduce but instead multiplies and relocates all the complexity to the Brutalist Rawness of ioctl's uncanny leaky abstraction of a kitchen sink, which undermines the entire Unix presumptuous philosophy of simplicity and consistency.

The market is not limited to smaller militaries. As we can see in the Ukraine war both sides are using tens of thousands of cheap 500 dollar fpv drones.
