> Sounds like solid way to build sustainable business around open code.

Yeah, that’s basically my question: how else do they make money? I’d bet that there’s at least one order of magnitude more people who use any of the major cloud providers’ hosted Redis service than who pay for a support contract, and probably at least two orders more than contribute anything substantial to the open source project. At some point you need recurring revenue or development is going to slow dramatically.
Is making a scammer less-productive, so possibly saving some number of vulnerable people from losing their ability to support themselves in retirement, ethical if that scammer may (may!) not themselves benefiting from the scam, and may be beaten or otherwise punished for poor performance?

... my god, might we even have a moral obligation to help them make their numbers?
My vague understanding is nobody uses SMS outside America and the entire population is on WhatsApp.
So you're saying it is now scientifically proven that butt-chugging mouthwash both prevents and cures cancer, and that young people especially benefit?
Don’t many religions encourage the complete opposite mentality? Shouldn’t they be censored also?
Nope, truly breaking down and digested by bacteria.

> The last measurement involved chemical analysis via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS), which detected the presence of the monomers used to make the plastic, indicating that the polymer was being broken to its starting plant materials. Scanning-electron microscopy further showed how microorganisms colonize the biodegradable microplastics during composting.
First global AI resolution unanimously adopted by United Nations
As a small business owner, I'm actually keen on the benefits to other businesses that antitrust enforcement and pro-competition enforcement can have.

As a really specific example in the case of Apple, I really hope the DMA causes wider availability of browser choice on iOS so that we as a business that ships a web app can offer our customers features like notifications and other PWA benefits. Our customers are somewhat willing to switch browsers to get the best experience when using our app. But switching to Android? Not a reasonable ask from us.

Most consumers also have jobs right? Making their lives better and easier at work, increasing competition to give their employers more opportunity to thrive, is just as important as making their groceries cheaper.
And returning them to a local store has much higher chances of the product actually making it back on the shelf and not end up on a landfill.
I used RIF. When that shut down I started checking in on my various accounts much less often. Multiple of my 500k+ user subreddits have been banned for being unmoderated since then. Ah well.

Why not just use a compact multi-port usb-c dock? Much harder to misplace, and you can put a ‘stolen from $user’ sticker on it.
Apple's hardware house of cards might come down if developers are allowed to push the devices past what Apple allows due to form-over-function design decisions they make, and I'm okay with that.
There is literally only one other competitor. That is not flourishing, competitive market when consumers can make many different choices. There are two companies that control nearly the entirety of the mobile software market, how can you expect that there would be no oversight to make sure they don't advantage their own software offerings?
It may not be backfilling, but I can confirm that my user profile is not showing comments that exist elsewhere on reddit.

Sorting by "controversial" does, though, show new comments that weren't on the main page. So you might be on to something.

But you never know until you try.
Yeah, the name "rtx" was not easy to search for. Mise is a much nicer name too.

I am currently using it with direnv, but there's enough functionality in mise to replace that too. I keep meaning to spend some time making mise work without direnv, but it's not been urgent since everything pretty much just works now.

I like the active development since the dev really seems to care about doing a great job, and I've been lucky enough so far that my (simple) workflows haven't been impacted.
iOS also has even more security threats, because a phone is in your pocket and has GPS, and your laptop isn't.
> Silent Spring had a huge and immediate impact on the American public, which Carson and her publisher, Houghton Mifflin, had very much expected and prepared for.

A couple of things here:

1. Could a book come out now that would have this kind of effect on the public and spur us to action? I suspect not because we're much more divided now than we were in the *early* 60s. (Yes, the divisions would grow quite large in the mid-to-late 60s, but the early 60s was the calm before the storm)

2. They expected that it would have the impact it did? I guess that goes back to #1.
> But I saw people react and fall for them in group chats

Are you sure they were not co-scammers though or the same scammer? Seems like scamming 101 to make victims fomo.
Face recognition is a hard task but you can manually correct the AI and it learns from that. Performance is the #1 goal here. I actually profiled this side-by-side and it's actually faster than Google Photos for my personal deployment.

In what jurisdiction would I be liable for verbally harassing a scammer?

I ask because worked for a cybersecurity firm and we would, on occasion, and mostly the “teh lulz” screw with phone scams. Our legal had nothing to say on that front.
Back around 2002 at least there were some products, ABCpdf is one I used a lot, which ran Internet Explorer on the server to generate PDFs from HTML. Worked pretty well from what I recall.
That happens with the ungrounded two-prong power adapter connector (the one that comes in the box). If you have a three-prong power adapter extension cable, it won't do that.[^1] Apple used to include one of those in the box too, but they stopped around 2015 or 2016.

hahaha okay actually in retrospect/closer inspection, I do think some teachers tried to instill these probability proofs from a different angle - though obviously it did not stick long past the testing, and I never thought of it as a fundamental new approach. Would definitely need to reformulate all of this into much more intuitive / visual metaphors to get it to really stick these days. Oddly I do a lot of thinking on the general fundamentals course content these days (FSAs, Turing Machines, etc) but I should really try to incorporate this probabilistic view

But they were comparing to "10 years ago. Or 20."

> What would you propose, to have Stallman pointing a gun to everyone who didn't attend a install fest?

If I can propose wild things, then I'll propose that something forces big hosting companies to share their code.

And data freedom is an important issue that has a huge overlap with software freedom. I like the EU's movement toward forcing export and interoperability for big entities.
There are no third party RCS apps outside of hardware manufacturer skins on Google Messages as Google has shut them all out.

If you want to interact with the RCS world as a non-wireless carrier, expect to pay upwards of 10 cents a message and have a minimum revenue commit of thousands of dollars a month. Carriers also don't get paid for inbound texts on RCS, creating a huge new cost center instead of symmetrical texting volume resulting in minimal costs like the current SMS/MMS ecosystem.
1. Seems odd, given WeChat is on iOS… the example you used is literally a counterpoint for the allegation.

3. Messages do interop. But it’d be hilarious if the US created some kind of precedent where everything has to work on everything.

4. Samsung, and Google both fall into this trap, where more functionality is available between like devices.

5. So when my Amex isn’t accepted, that’s Visa or Mastercard restricting APIs - and causing lock in right?

These strange legal cases are odd to me. If we think these large tech conglomerates should be regulated, then write laws for them, don’t use the court system to muck things up for no reason.
so.. based of these claims by US government, would it be good and required for Apple to give full access to users data, financials, health and everything-else-data to say Huaweii smartwatch?
> No normal person would believe the car will be ready within 1 year if it can not even handle common road signs and has been completely untested.

No normal person has access to custom built supercomputers to train AIs or teams of engineers dedicated to such. It's a weird false equivalency to base your entire argument on and leaves me to conclude that you would feel similarly about anyone engineering something which hasn't previously existed.

> He fired like half a dozen teams because they could not meet his insane deadlines showing that his promises were not based in what he learned from his engineering team, but lies in the hopes that a miracle would happen and make his lies into truth. I have not read his biography, but I have been told that this process of: "Promise it is almost ready. Relentlessly drive engineering team. Fail to meet deadline. Fire team so you now have nothing working. Promise the thing that was not working is now almost ready." is well documented.

If the man wasn't landing rockets, forcing the auto industry to electrify after even California failed to do so, connecting the world with Starlink, and allowing paralyzed people to live more fulfilling lives, you might have an argument? Whatever he's doing seems to work. Seems like a lot of problems just need management that believes the problem can be solved with enough investment and effort.

"In Australia and New Zealand, tall poppy syndrome refers to successful people being criticised. This occurs when their peers believe they are too successful, or are bragging about their success.[1][2] Intense scrutiny and criticism of such a person is termed as "cutting down the tall poppy"."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome

And no, it is not established that because you cited one person's deposition and "mutual friends with one of the former heads of Autopilot" that you "actually do know" what work Elon is exposed to from his engineering teams. What a weird claim to make when you're not sitting in on the meetings yourself.

I find the thousands of hours of RE work done by https://www.youtube.com/@MunroLive to be a much more credible indicator of the kind of thinking and work that goes on at Tesla.
Indeed. Backward compatibility is also a major goal and there have been almost no major breaking changes since v2 (at v7 currently)

It's downright unusable to me without old.reddit.com. If they ever got rid of the old interface, I'd probably stop using it completely.
I've been a Motorola customer for many years. Their other phones were lovely minimal and affordable tools with an almost pure Android experience. They had "Moto gestures" where you chop to turn on the light or twist to open the camera, and that's about it. This bloatware is unusual.

Last year's Motorola Thinkphone was originally a $700 business-oriented 5G flagship alternative, it's now down to $400 and an awesome phone. It takes a minute to uninstall the extra Microsoft apps if you don't want them, (I still use Outlook, Excel, and Onedrive for work, so I left those, dumped the rest especially including LinkedIn) but that's easy.

What is normal and disappointing from Motorola is their terrible update policy. The budget phones only get 2 years of security updates and no Android updates. I did just give up on my 5 year old Moto G from 2018, it went without updates for ~4 years. Fortunately the Thinkphone gets security updates through January 2027.
Does anyone have a good explanation;anation why a photo of an Asian woman is used in almost all cases, as opposed to, say, German looking or Indian woman. Is it because they are deemed to be the most attractive for the target victim demographic?
I have an older (USB-A plug) tiny, official iPhone charger brick of that fold-out-two-blade sort which has become either terrifying or hilarious, depending on your temperament, by having whatever connects the two blades break. If you're not paying attention, it's easy to extend only one of the blades...

I've not attempted to charge with only the hot-wire blade extended, but I cannot imagine anything good would happen.

Thank you so much I'll check that out.
Note there could easily be even more obstacles than there are. Third party apps like banking apps actually have extra jailbreaking checks; first party apps don't, you can still watch DRM movies, and afaik it doesn't void the warranty. At least not if nobody notices.
> Similarly, trying to judge the UK on racial issues by US standards gets quite confusing. The common British attitude towards Romani would make even the confederate flag wavers of Texas call them racists.

Not directly related to Romani treatment in Britain (not familiar enough with that to judge), but sometimes I wonder if the english language needs better words to distinguish between race based bigotry and culture based bigotry.

eg often I notice for a person there will be a difference in how they treat/view "acclimatised" descendants of immigrants vs new immigrants due to being ostensibly the same race but different culturally. Of course racists will still have bigotry for both groups.

The only way they would ever find out is if they were trying to enter your place unannounced.
Definitely too much ends up in landfills, no doubts about that.

However, a far higher % of returns go to landfill directly from consumers who don't know what to do with them than when its back in a retailer's hands. Retailer's processes for returns are not perfect, but they can get it back on a shelf or in the secondary markets often enough that its better than being in a consumer's home.
Compared to the US's SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Sierra, and others, no, Europe has no private space industry to one order of magnitude. (Spare me the talk about how Arianespace and Airbus are "private".)

Rocket Lab could have chosen Australia to move to. It could have moved to Canada, or to an ESA member nation and thus gain access to Kourou. But it chose the US despite the ample existing competition there.
Well the organ recipient’s body is now an incubation chamber for pig human virus crossovers. But it’s a human, so we deal with the risks. Hopefully he doesn’t deal with a lot of pigs on a daily basis.

Possibly relevant: Redis Contributer Copyright Assignment. This dates at least to 2022. https://redis.com/legal/redis-software-grant-and-contributor...

I get why Redis would want every contributor to sign this agreement. What I don't understand is why any open source contributor would agree to sign it. Maybe because someone is more interested in getting their contribution integrated than having any say over future licensing of their work?
I have seen plenty of german news falsely attributing arabic phrases as isis chants/flags etc..

It’s happening out in the open. Orientalism is still alive and thriving.

Calling for israel to stop its genocide is considered hate speech in germany. Even calling israel an apartheid state is.

I say No to the constant arming of israel that has killed +10K children. The people protesting dont care about whether israel is jewish or not fyi.

The guilt stems from Germany’s atrocities in ww2 and it seems you’re projecting your own insecurities/guilt onto arabs.

Its sadly ironic cause germany is a big reason we’re in this mess :)
We should expect it.
I did a data request, and then encrypted every single one of my comments, and made a web app to decrypt it lol. I randomly get messages from people still decrypting the most random stuff and either mocking me or complimenting the idea. Highly recommend this route vs deleting because a rando can still read your content, but it's not as useful to Reddit itself.

Hey, DeepEval is interesting. What do you mean by "evaluating any LLMs"?
This is all so exhausting and goes in circles over and over. I honestly can not believe that there are people on HackerNews of all places that want two companies to control pocket computers and just because one is only marginally better it's totally okay that the first one is draconian.

I feel like someone who woke up in the middle ages with a fever and they are trying to cure me with leeches. Yes yes. No need to worry. Let the leech do it's work and you too will be secure from the plague.

Does anyone actually know anyone that has gotten hacked on their Android phone?
My understanding is the reason they are dead in the US is even though the banks might let you build payments into it they will not let you negotiate any discount in fees so you will have to add your own fees on top of their own fees. It begs the question of why a bank or consortium of banks hasn’t developed a super app.

When I gave this talk in late 2016

https://www.slideshare.net/paulahoule/chatbots-in-2017-ithac...

there was huge interest in messaging-centric apps as this runs around the boondoggle of having even the tiniest patch to your app get reviewed.
No idea what that is
Yes - all of our conscious reality, including both the environment and our sense of self, are experiences of perception formed inside the mind by the body and brain. Our sense of an "external" world is very much an "internal" reality, and the boundary between self and world is a mental construct.
30 bucks? You can buy an adapter for $1.50 with free shipping from the usual Chinese retailers.

(I think they were talking about vehicles without a 3.5mm or similar audio input though. There's probably still analog audio in there somewhere which could be spliced into, but the kit might make it easier.)
I use Jan to run Mistral locally. It works well for what I need (which amounts to playing with models).
What's interesting there is that numpy is inspired (more than a little) by APL and aims to bring that 'array' thinking to python. I agree that thinking in this 'array' way helps to better construct a solution in any language, so I'm leaning towards 'designing' with APL glyphs, even if that's not the language I'm implementing the thing in.
I would pay 10% more for a phone plan some with spam blocking. Like, even just as simple as blocking all voip phones or foreign numbers.
The whole magic is that expressions are in fact just objects in the language. And no, there aren't any immutable bindings here.
My thoughts? Too slow. No timeline view. Looks terrible.

Open Source has a) you guys implement it b) we sell it, thanks problem.

This license change addresses this very problem so cloud mega corps can't leech.

For me it sounds like better AGPL.

I don't give a shit about philosophical nuances and OSI-approved list – at the end of the day this is much less restrictive license than AGPL - I have source code, I can run it locally, I can run it on my projects, I can run it on my commercial projects, I can run it where I work, I can use it on bare metal, VM, Docker, k8s and from Azure the same way.

The fact that Microsoft will have to share cut of the premium they're already charging is irrelevant to me – if anything I applaud for finding sustainable business model around it.
My point still stands though, I want to use an alternative browser engine like I do on every other computer... but Apple doesn't allow it
If consumers find that's a problem, then they should be willing to pay the 30% premium in the app store.

My guess is that this is not as much of an issue as Apple claims, and this 30% premium will not be worth it to the consumer.
The intel the US government gets must be worth it
There is also an upcoming UN plastic treaty that could potentially exert some influence here.
Does this.... actually happen? To like, people over the age of 10?

If so, I'd almost be thankful to Apple for letting me know who not to bother being friends with.

If someone in my social circle ostracized someone else because of their phone, they (the person doing the ostracizing) wouldn't be in my social circle anymore.
