> NetBSD sits in the middle. It is a relatively small, clean, and simple OS.

The "build.sh" system for compilation is so easy to use for compiling your own toyOS that I initially felt like I had done something wrong. Linux is a bigger, better funded, wider documented project but the overall ease of specifying output type for a boot image and what platform I was developing for was the second deciding factor for me. The first was being able to compile it (with no weird extra steps) on my Mac (pre Apple Silicon).

In undergrad it became my hackable OS of choice if I wanted to compile something for my old Mac, a server for my bike, or some incredibly niche computer I found by accident. When I had questions, I asked the IRC group. For me, it was a great introduction by practice of the different parts of an OS.

As a long time NPR listener who cut them off in 2020 because of a change in my worldview, I do think NPR misses facts because of ideological bias but I take this position from a far Left stance. I broadly label myself as an Anarcho-communist and think that NPR, and other more liberal or progressive sources, largely serve the biases of existing institutional structures - that both conservatives and liberals belong to - rather than challenge them with journalistic integrity founded in expansive coverage of factual narratives. The tendency in NPR's coverage of the Palestinian genocide, the ongoing COVID pandemic, and the climate and ecological emergency are demonstrative of their systemic bias.

I take issue with the word "scam", but other than, a very well-done rebuttal. It's not just v1 issue, Humane is a product of the most brainless assumptions you can make:

a) That a palm-size laser projector could work as a display.

b) That awkward hand gestures are a great way to navigate UI

c) That voice could work as a primary input.

d) That people would be willing to pay $700 and a monthly subscription for a device that barely works.

It's at par or even worse than Juicero. The team and its supporters should stop hiding behind "it's v1", and "we were trying to invent a new paradigm." The device has to be promising now, not in some imaginary future. And trying to invent shouldn't mean you're going to forgo questioning the basic foundational ideas.
People like to use software they can trust. Having an out-of-date UI is a violation of trust. It says that whoever owns it doesn't care about it anymore.

Pretty much that, yep.

There's very little productive new ground to grow on if you're working on YouTube.

There's existing glaring site problems, but they're on purpose and ideologically driven (shorts, placebo dislike, subscriptions mean nothing) so no one is going to touch them. It's politically safer and more advantageous to mess with the UI and irritate all the users every couple years.

> NetBSD is more of a traditional Unix-style experience than modern Linux.

That's a bit of an understatement. NetBSD is primarily about preserving the original Unix spirit with broad compatibility across both hardware and software. This is the antithesis of, say, Fedora. NetBSD spans a vast amount of history, supporting everything from VAX and early Sun workstations to aarch64 and amd64, and from the V7 filesystem (1979) to ZFS. It will run both early SunOS binaries and bleeding edge software.

That being said, what I appreciate most about NetBSD is the dogfooding. Many core developers use vintage hardware or ARM boards, and routinely try the releases on antiquated hardware. Since software behaves like a gas, this helps keep bloat to a minimum. So there you have it: a deliberately old-school Unix that will run modern software yet still work like in the 80s / early 90s on basically anything with a CPU and MMU.
That sounds quite a bit like decoupled mode for star citizen. Altough, there you still get automatic following the cursor for rotation, but no correction for linear movement.
>until there's a popular vote

If we're talking banning end-to-end encryption specifically, the general population is largely oblivious to it, or electronic privacy in general, or people wouldn't post like 90% of the stuff they put on Instagram.

I've watched a guy on YouTube discuss his experience buying a plot of land and building a house on it, and I think he straight up pointed out exactly where he lives, what car he drives and what not. No need to put effort into doxxing him, he did everything himself.

This might sound insane to you or me, but most people don't even think about it.

So if you seed couple articles and TV documentaries on how end-to-end encryption is bad because terrorists and pedophiles use it, and you as a law abiding citizen have nothing to fear, while not so carefully avoiding the other side of the coin, I think think the general population would vote for it.

This is all part of the freedom/privacy vs security balance discussion, which we don't have a good solution for.
Well, what are your own arguments against those views? You can just use those.
Ollama is an ergonomic "frontend" to a lower level library (llama.cpp).

The way they are operating is extremely common to the way anyone else operates. If I built a webservice on top of, say, Warp in Rust, people generally aren't putting much acknowledgement for using Warp. Or should I give acknowledgement to Hyper, which warp is built in?

Actually, on the flip side, Warp is a good example of giving acknowledgement, since they mention Hyper in their readme (of course it is made by the same owner, so he is just linking his works):

https://crates.io/crates/warp

Maybe Ollama should add a similar type of acknowledgement?

I will see about opening an issue on their github.

“In America hourly pay growth among 16- to 24-year-olds recently hit 13% year on year, compared with 6% for workers aged 25 to 54. This was the highest “young person premium” since reliable data began”

Usually this is rebutted with a reference to apparently skyrocketing housing costs, thankfully the author addresses this shortly after.

“Some Gen Zers protest, claiming that higher incomes are a mirage since they do not account for the exploding cost of college and housing. After all, global house prices are close to all-time highs, and graduates have more debt than before. In reality, though, Gen Zers are coping because they earn so much. In 2022 Americans under 25 spent 43% of their post-tax income on housing and education, including interest on debt from college—slightly below the average for under-25s from 1989 to 2019.”

This aligns with my anecdotal experience talking with college students and new grads today.
Any reason Kotlin is not being adopted outside android? I haven't used Java for like a decade - is it that Java improved well enough to kotlin not being competitive anymore? E.g. Spring Boot seems to have kotlin support. Kotlin 2.0 compiler seems also around the corner, same with jetbrains-compose.

Right. But this position applies equally to all taxes. So that's a general "taxation is theft" type position.

Which is fine in general, just not specific to this particular tax.
IIUC, this is why it's good to have separations of power and slow legislation. EU ministers can keep wanting stuff, courts and the parliament keeps rejecting it and the public keep pushing back.

Pretty much it's what divides the free world from the dictatorships. Its pretty scary when you start seeing politicians attacking courts, judges etc.

Every country that went ahead with steamrolling courts has become a dumpster fire. When politicians start saying that they have mandate to do this one thing but the courts are not allowing it, it's a huge red flag. When institutions or politicians say that something is slowing them down, it's a huge red flag.
> in the end intelligence arises. It didn't need magical ingredients.

That's the current prevailing hypothesis, but we don't yet fully understand the phenomenon of intelligence enough to definitively rule out any magical ingredients: unknown variables or characteristics of the system/inputs/data that made it possible for intelligence to emerge.

This proposed snapshot of the web, before it gets further "contaminated" by synthetic AI/LLM-generated data, might prove to be valuable or it might not. The premise could be wrong. Maybe we learn that there's nothing fundamentally special about human-generated data, compared to synthetic data derived from it.

It seems worthwhile to consider though, in case it turns out that there is some yet unknown quality of the more or less "pure" human data. In the metaphor of low-background steel, we could be entering a period of unregulated nuclear testings without being fully aware of the consequences.
If they knew beforehand that the projection won't work as promised then that part qualifies as scam.

This seems to be a really common occurrence recently - I know the internet can be mean, I've been on it since the peak of IRC, but it seems way more intense these days. The moment something is marked as the bad thing, hordes of people absolutely pile onto it out of nowhere.

Is this something I've just not noticed, a more people online thing, long term effects of covid (the virus itself and/or the lockdowns), a result of whatever algorithm tweaks Elon has been making, are people just pissed off in general, etc?

Small anecdote.

In the 1990s and 2000s, it was very rare to travel abroad - a Eurotrip or Japan trip was a once in a lifetime experience. Nowadays, my entire friend group in the mid 20s-early 30s have traveled to Europe and Japan multiple times, as well as further afield.

Travel, quality of housing, etc have all risen among our cohort compared to Gen X or older millennials at a similar age.
Seems this article hand waves the increased cost of living, education, and inflated wages.

Adjust for inflation and this generation will no longer appear rich.

Also, this article cites there are “6000 Zoomer chief executives”. I wonder what it’s like to have a 20 yr old as a CEO.

All my bosses/superiors/ceos have been decrepit old fools that need to be put out to pasture.

Maybe it’s the same thing except a having a heightened or elevated sense of arrogance. High risk tendencies, and maybe their anxiety runs the company. I would hope they are more calculating though.
That’s utter bullshit to the point where I suspect ulterior motive.

For “rich” you’d need to look at wealth not employment %.

The younger generations are miles behind previous generations on metrics such as age constant net wealth. eg look at the chart in this and contrast that with the economists take:

>But saying alcohol is the most dangerous drug with this definition is still fair enough to say right?

This is conflating the difference between "danger" and "harm". Danger is a measure of risk, not damage.

You wouldnt say that drinking alcohol is more dangerous than drinking bleach or sulfuric acid, but it can be more harmful, if you are talking about rates.
That stat is for 15-24 though; I’d expect young adults of that age to be able to go places unaccompanied, even in car-centric areas.

It's just the difference between ideal democracy where the interests of most people are reflected in policy and US democracy (and most others, to different degrees) where choice is limited and corporate interests weigh much more heavy, it's hard to tell if it's closer to a more openly top-down form of government than it is from the ideal.

Travel, quality of housing, etc have all risen among our cohort compared to Gen X or older millennials at a similar age (millenial hipsters were living in Brooklyn in the 2010s because they were broke. Gen X grungeheads were living in CapHill/Mission in the 1990s because they were broke).

Gen Z is at most 25. Give them 5-10 years and they themselves will end up buying property, especially because a lot of Gen X parents and Boomer grandparents do help out.

The article also takes your point into account:

“Some Gen Zers protest, claiming that higher incomes are a mirage since they do not account for the exploding cost of college and housing. After all, global house prices are close to all-time highs, and graduates have more debt than before. In reality, though, Gen Zers are coping because they earn so much.

TikTok is where the weird/folk Internet is now.
The biochemistry suggests there might be a thing. Alcohol slows down brain activity. This may seem like it would make coding harder but if your brain is racing and thinking of too many things at once then this slowing mean the brain starts to, with a task manager analogy, stop a bunch of extraneous tasks. This means you can focus more. The trade off is that you also have less CPU power for that task. But, many coding activities aren't that hard and so the increased focus more than counteracts the loss of power. The trick is staying in that very narrow band of blood alchohol where this holds. Too much more and the loss of brain power means the coding tasks will not go well at all.
