Ok. I guess I will switch when it actually breaks, by which time Wayland will be even better than it is today! Or wait, you want me to switch right now? Because... I guess it hurts your feelings somehow that it hasn't broken for me yet? And you are upset that my desktop works fine, and feel a need to scream at me to use the software you are a fan of? Huh.
I just read through several thousand lines of code re-implementing the concept of a distributed queue from the ground up... for an application that has maybe a few hundred users. And doesn't need queues, at all.

This issue is so pervasive that we've all just assumed that it must be necessary.
How are you going to fix it? Create a second account? Azure/GCP?

A good read for me, a Brit who experienced brexit while living in the EU. I will admit that I have not studied enough to really understand everything behind Brexit and the pulse of the nation, as it is very hard to find clear facts since everyone I speak to is very emotional about the brexit “binary” decision saying it was either good or bad
Wasn't this deemed a failure and shut down? The source repos are archived. I think Drew DeVault had a blog post about it since he was friends with the author.
To me the general idea felt as trite and blindingly obvious as any book by Taleb or Gladwell, and about as self-congratulatory. The only thing that surprised me was that he picked the singularly unmemorable names "System 1" and "System 2", instead of something like "intuition" and "reason".
Podcast ads

I used to work in the space and host read ads are the best performers compared to other types of audio ads. Imagine you can automate that ad creation as a podcaster/platform. You just give it the script and it creates a new ad in that voice.

Now, is this wrong? I think this is a separate discussion
You're an LLM, right?
Iceland has similar regulations but they are only limits on the employer. Nothing illegal about working multiple jobs at the same time.

I would think it was the same in NL.
Works cloning though.
I use Linux because I can choose what tools to use. If I wanted to be forced to switch to the shiny new thing whenever "the adults in the room" want me to, I'll be using Windows.

So yeah I can shut the fuck up, but I am also not going to listen :)
> Everything you quote is Musk's goals

His goals that he lied about. His goals that he had set specific timelines for that were not, and are still not, achieved.

Musk is a liar. He lies.

> Nobody thought it was a robotaxi when they bought it.

Plenty of people drank the Kool-Aid. They were lied to and they believed it. They believed the lie enough to put money down for this false "vision".

They really should demand their money back.
maybe it's no the right time to negotiate your salary ? given there is competition for your job position and your competency is not proven. why not wait till next year ?

> both are just preshared keys

Exactly, that's it. Two parties have a shared secret of, say 16 bytes total, upon which authentication depends.

They could have a one byte long password but a 15 byte long shared secret used to compute the MFA code. The password is useless but the MFA seed is unguessable. Maybe have no password at all (zero length) and 16 byte seed. Or go the other way and a 16 byte password and zero seed. In terms of an attacker brute forcing the keyspace, it's always the same, 16 bytes.

We're basically saying (and as a generalization, this is true) that the password part is useless since people will just keep using their pets name, so let's put the strenght on the seed side. Fair enough, that's true.

But if you're willing to use a strong unique password then there's no real need.

(As to keyloggers, that's true, but not very interesting. If my machine is already compromised to the level that it has malicious code running logging all my input, it can steal both the passwords and the TOTP seeds and all the website content and filesystem content and so on. Game's over already.)

> This is why the FIDO/hardware passkeys/etc are so much better

Technically that's true. But in practice, we now have a few megacorporations trying to own your authentication flow in a way that introduces denial of service possibilities. I must control my authentication access, not cede control of it to a faceless corporation with no reachable support. I'd rather go back to using password123 everywhere.
Bootstrapping is an interesting problem. If there's a large P2P network (think like Gnutella) there's papers that have proposed using port scanning of residential IP ranges to find peers that belong to the network. It's an interesting approach because there's no centralized bootstrapping servers. But, port scanning is inefficient and such an approach may only be viable if a network is large (I may be wrong here.) Still, I think it's cool how little work has been done on these problems. I am still really into p2p networks.

For my own project I observed that all of the main networks in some way still depend on trusted introduction points. Just many of them and combined. So I think using infrastructure that's federated and open is a good design (in my case: public MQTT servers is what my own software is based on.)
I did answer the question, your questions are stupid and don't deserve an answer.
What will be interesting, now that they change the language, is how charlatans like ARK Invest adjust their models, where they were and still probably are projecting hundreds of billions (or trillions, hard to count the zeros) of profits from robotaxis fleets and god know what else.

As to why it's legal - it's only in North America - it's forbidden everywhere else.
Unless Facebook obtained lawful consent to intercept communications between the computer owner and another party, using an app by choice is not a defense to wiretapping. That the plaintiffs are alleging wiretapping suggests that the VPN terms of use contained no such consent to intercept communications between the computer owner and other parties.
I've installed the latest ubuntu LTS on my work laptop, with wayland KDE. Every 2 weeks, the wayland proces crashes and I loose all my applications and need to reboot. Only a black screen is left. X11 hasn't done that since 2000 or so. At home, wine doesn't do full screen on wayland so I switched back to X

Companies have tried and failed to outsource their employees for more than 10 years.

It shouldn’t be different now. They reduce WFH to manage employees better (stupid but that’s what they think), but WFH is still accepted where I live (France, up to 3 days a week).
Well "Wayland no worky" for me, it breaks keyboard input in Firefox on Ubuntu, so I'd say a pretty basic use case.

Not the time to switch for me, sorry.

And they might as well be working on compromising other projects using different handles.
X just works for end users, and "fuck you" attitudes aren't exactly persuasive (they're actually off-putting from trying Wayland).
Well some distros might force more components upon you but thas hardly systemd's fault. Same if some software decides to make use of another component of systemd - then that's their choice, but also there are alternatives. The only thing that comes to mind right now would be something like GNOME which requires logind, but all other "typical" software only wants systemd-the-init-system if anything. You can run Debian just fine with just systemd as an init system and nothing else.
Golay code: Best single published page in coding theory
Honestly, I was never convinced that concentrating all developer effort onto Wayland was the best idea. Wayland seemed like a massive over-correction from X11, where the protocol and core were "simple" in comparison to X11 which did everything. Being simple, by itself, is not a virtue -- Wayland basically forced all the essential complexity of the problem to the compositors (a la Waterbed theory of Complexity [1]). Given there are so many compositor implementations, they essentially end up reinventing the wheels all the time. This is a bit better now with wlroots, but unfortunately, the ecosystem is already fragmented. I'm not saying X11 is superior to Wayland or vice-versa, but frankly I would be surprised if we couldn't improve X11 if it got 0.1% of the amount of effort collectively gone into Wayland.

I would highly recommend reading through some of these blog posts who expound upon the problems of Wayland more eloquently than I can [2,3,4].

My X desktop is fine.

I get that you are being performatively rude… well, I don’t know why, maybe as a rhetorical device or maybe just for fun.

However, in the context provided by the article:

> One major thing to note about Wayland is the lack of accessibility software for it

your comment

> Please don't comment about how your X desktop is fine, or how Wayland doesn't work for your obscure, niche little use case.

is actually super shitty, you are being a bad person here. Not in a fun, silly trolling way, but in a telling people with accessibility issues that they don’t matter way.
Someone should do an experience report on adding the same storage system to both databases.

What you say looks powerful but Facebook added their MyRocks to MySQL.
It’s like Linux audio drivers, but for graphics compositors.
it's a recommendation system with a timeline of months and the data to back it up IS your market hypothesis.

you can have whatever risk profile you want, some people are gamblers. Personally I'd like to have greater confidence in the fitness of the implementation before going all in.

Although I say this with the advice adage: unless the business advice comes from someone who is on their own private yacht, it's more opinion than advice. (I've got no yachts)
This is exactly the attitude that makes me never want to use Wayland: I like being able to run Icewm, Stumpwm, WindowMaker and all sorts of other X window managers that haven’t been updated in years. The Wayland attitude of “we’re just dumping all your favorite stuff in the garbage because we’re the adults in the room” is the antithesis of all the things I liked about Linux (not to mention going from a system shaded by *BSDs and Illumos to a Linux-proprietary system)
Agreed, I switched to Krita and it's amazing in comparison.

All the technical arguments are entirely valid. But they are irrelevant to the end user, who has been using this so-called "bad software" perfectly fine for the past 40 years. What sort of reaction do you expect when you come in and break their workflow and then belittle users by pretty much saying "you're holding it wrong"? It happens most people are more concerned with getting their personal computing done than the ideological purity, technical merits or 80s baggage of their display server.

The most popular desktop operating system, Microsoft Windows, takes an entirely different approach to backwards compatibility. Do I have to ask why it has the market share and not Linux?
It is the default for everyone in power. You’re only surprised because you don’t matter.

It depends on the vesting requirements. Unvested stocks are given to employees and have requirements such as job performance and/or length of service. Once an employee reaches the requirements, the stock becomes vested. It seems that the leaker didn't reach the goals, so the stocks are still unvested.

Solar power production patterns don't make energy free. Normal pricing mechanisms apply. This can mean that something has a zero or negative price sometimes (this occurs in electricity markets today), but that is an unusual circumstance. Usually when something is available due to some sort of regularity in the world, people find uses and this drives the price up to some positive value.

The article does not explain how Wayland breaks bad software?

> X11 is, to put it simply, not at all fit for any modern system. Full stop. Everything to make it work on modern systems are just hacks. Don’t even try to get away with “well, it just works for me” or “but Wayland no worky”. Unless your workflow (and hardware) comes from 20+ years ago, you have almost no reason to stick with Xorg, especially as it continues to get worse and worse when the user experience relies on newer and newer features.

This is not a great way to start an article. You are not going to convince any "it works for me" person to try out Wayland with this attitude. I'll say it: X works for me, what's wrong with my 20 year old workflow?

> Xorg, from the very beginning, only ever had to deal with one display. It did originate from around the 1980s, after all. Having more than one display wasn’t even a thought in their mind, let alone ones with different resolutions and scales. The official docs even consider a “Display” to be the entire Xorg server, with all of its screens combined.

This paragraph seems to imply that X does not work with multiple displays, but I have never had issues with those.

I have nothing against Wayland and I think there are good arguments in favor of it in this article, but they are presented in a bad way. The author seems mad at users for... Not wanting to change a working setup? Do they not realize that most people only care about windows being shown, and not about how messy the internals are?

Sorry, not sorry. It works for me.
That seems to be a myth (but certainly a nice one)

Yes, as an example, if you look at something like PostgreSQL or MySQL the code is absolutely intimidating because they use crazy data structures and synchronization techniques to squeeze out another nanosecond under heavy load. But I couldn't tell if async/await would make this any better while still delivering similar performance.
That captures it neatly. It remains the future, even though the dawn of the new day has been extremely slow. There was an amazing decade watching the Wayland community struggling with screenshots as a major engineering challenge. They tried to half-bake critical parts of the problem space and it led to a dead-on-arrival protocol that took a decade to be Frankensteined to life.

I get that Xorg is terrible, but Wayland has been around for 15 years at this point (the article's "Unless your workflow (and hardware) comes from 20+ years ago" jab falls a bit flat). It is closer to the X.org server's release than to the modern era. There were good people with big ambitions involved, but the Wayland protocol is an example of a mis-design that had to be made to work despite itself.

Your site recommends benzoyl peroxide which has similar or worse side effects compared to tretinoin.

It's also a lauded product on both r/SkincareAddiction and r/30PlusSkincare. Not something recommended for kids, but for adults with persistent acne
it is worth trying, especially over antibiotics and alongside BP.

The ONLY reason I switched from i3 -> Sway is because I'm using monitors with different resolutions and dealing with dual monitor setups in X approaches impossible.

Sway is mostly OK but i3 and all the supporting X stuff I had was incredibly solid and all just worked together. Enter Sway/Wayland, and some things are in XWayland some things are native so they can't talk to each other, there are constant display bugs, Waybar is glitchy, screen sharing is a nightmare, fullscreen mode doesn't work for floating windows, fullscreen windows aren't transparent and show black instead of my background photo (because "security"). I just kind of hate it. I recently updated Sway and my dropdown terminal no longer focused when I opened it...I'd have to click to focus. I ended up reverting. It's probably some perfect storm of lagging support from apps, bugs in Sway, bad AMD drivers, and a protocol that's, sure, more "correct" but kind of gimps the overall experience.

If you're happy on X, stay on X. It all worked fine before my laptop died and I got a new one with a different resolution than my monitor. I will say though...multi-monitor support in Sway/Wayland, with scaling and all that, is excellent.

Show HN: Kallo – Multi-LLM collaboration tool to try different AI
That's probably assault if doesn't have a profit angle. Maybe its expected that everyone should just screw the rest as much as they humanly can without petty crime.

For example, maybe can be a good business to create a company that takes control of all the coffee production/distribution and algorithmically price the cup of coffee to be about 5 quids or %0.1 (whichever is greater)of the monthly income of the customer.

To facilitate this, of course the company will need to collect information like the cars they drive or the house they live so it will require an account with their financials for the individuals displaying wealth.

If that sounds monopolistic, alternatively all the independent coffee shops and coffee sellers can start running the same algorithm and have the exact same effect but technically they won't be price fixing. Why would they do that? Well, it's called catching a whale, they may end up losing the opportunity to make 5 pound of few billionaires but may end up making a fortune of one that really really needs a fix.
TL;DR: the expectation that a business can be "saved" by bolting AI onto an existing organization is unrealistic.

Detail: My experience is that commercially viable AI requires a leadership that gets AI and can execute very careful tech/product development facing end-to-end business problems, obsess over data quality, pivot and and manage risks in a way that's subtler than shutting the whole thing down. None of these are possible when attempting to transform a pre-existing business.

Consider AI and classic Google Search: in the best case scenario, AI will cannibalize on the search. In the worst case scenario, it will generate no lift. The middle ground is elusive at best.

What does seem to work across pre-existing businesses is when AI is used to provide embellishments/optional upsells. But of course that's not the dramatic transformation that a lot of people not in the scene seem to be expecting.
Does anyone have a clone available for historical / analysis purposes?

I understand Microsoft doesn't want to participate in being a further attack vector - ie. "what if people use github to revert to a prior version that secretly had another vulnerability?" But removing public access to the repository prevents the community and industry analysis that would identify those prior vulnerabilities.
