Torvalds was unnecessarily unrespectful. He fixed this.

Now, he is still to the point and harsh when needed, but in a respectful way. That works and it's still as effective, if not better (because, it turns out, you are more eager to take something in account if it's not insulting you).

> So OSS developers must be able to accept very harsh critism or even insults but always be kind to users who offer nothing in return?

For one's own sake, yes, it's better to be able to take the messages one receives. And no, this doesn't grant you the permission to be sloppy and not careful when communicating with other human beings.

Now of course if someone insulted you, you'd be forgiven to not be overly nice with this person. Though avoiding to lower yourself to this person's level is the better option if you can help it.

I personally find that someone who insulted someone else who responded with class looks particularly bad.
the entire web grew up on and still runs on open source, and everything lamented today as "wrong" with the web is proprietary. there is no fluffy theory, i have no idea what you are talking about. you're just not grateful for what you have, you're (analogy) like a teenager who assumes you're entitled to everything your parents provide... wait till you have kids of your own and you realize your parents had no fluffy illusions
this comment is a wonderful exercise in logic.
Please make sure to evangelize that a little bit... There's something weird going on where some people "get it" about how to use llm's effectively, while other people can't get past the idea that they are stochastic parrots on LSD.

I believe that this is because getting good results out of llm's requires greater critical thinking and writing abilities than simply composing keywords for search. Unless we support and educate our peers here there's the risk that many of them could be left behind in a way that could be harsher than what happened to people who couldn't "just Google it".

I'm considering that I might be over inflating the urgency here. But I increasingly feel we may have a duty to educate our peers here, or risk letting them fall behind to their own and our own detriment.

I grew up in a community with things like a volunteer fire department. All the adults around me spent 10-20 hours/week in non-paid positions from coaching soccer to hospice care. A core of some dozens of people carried the community on their backs.

I still see that today. From the volunteers who coordinate 4th of July celebrations to the 4-H mentors to that guy who hauls his own equipment over every month to mow the vacant lot next to the town park, just because somebody needs to do it or it won't get done. Most of these people have day jobs. The folks who rescued people from freeway car crashes back in the day and the ones who still do it today have day jobs. Some are professional paramedics on the clock in the big city who do it for free out in the little village where they live on their days off.

I know the world of open source software is bigger than that. But I still see the world through the lens I acquired in childhood.
> Fucking hell dude. Fuck off with this unnecessary passive aggressive bullshit

That wasn't meant to be passive aggressive, it was meant to solicit an answer to the specific question I was asking. I interpreted you point differently than what you apparently meant, either from a misunderstanding on my part, a poor explanation or your part, or some combination thereof.

I thought I was sufficiently clear a few replies back when asking how your solution scales to larger groups of people while I pointed out problems of scali g that I was looking for your thoughts on that, and then you proceeded to talk about entirely different things.

Honeatly, I'm aware my ostrich comment was a bit rude, and was trying to tone it down and honestly ask here. It's not that I think it's impossible or stupid that s along might hmbe ha fled a different way. "Flat" management strucutes claim to do so, and while I'm very sceptical of them in reality, I would love to hear from someone in the trenches about how they thought it worked or failed in practice, and so thought (along with interpreting your earlier comments as "extra levels are unneeded" instead of "they should provide different things") that you might actually go down that route and have a take on it.

For what it's worth, I don't think I actually disagree much with what you're advocating for, but I'm not sure it makes sense in the pure form you're describing in reality. It's great to want every level of.management to bring their own special bit to the picture, but sometimes when you have tens of thousands of employees, I think some levels will necessarily be present just to deal with the scale. Playing around with Dunbar's law and modern management studies means that for a large company you start getting quite a few management levels deep unless you expect people to be managing a hundred people under them each.

That in essence, is the main critique I have of what you've said and was trying to get you to address. Given a company of 20,000 people, explain how many levels of management you expect them to have and what special sauce each level could even theoretically bring and how many people on average each level would be directly responsible for managing. I suspect it will be hard to justify some levels other than the need to provide stable relationships between the people involved.
If you’re watching a single subject of interest video on your phone (TikTok type of content), it’s great. But landscape videos is more pleasant and there’s a reason we move from 4:3 for media. But that actually means watching the videos, but what I see is a lot of skipping.
It seems to just be a leak of their sandboxed headless browser setup and the API code for controlling it. Obviously such a thing will run arbitrary JS from the web so inevitably there will be something like a browser sandbox exploit, and subsequent dump of its filesystem.

The leak doesn't seem to contain what Rabbit calls the LAM, their purported AI model for interacting with UIs. And what the leakers are claiming is that Rabbit's automation is just handwritten scripts which seems to be completely unsubstantiated. The rabbit secret sauce could still turn out to be a scam but I didn't see anything to corroborate any of the leakers' claims. Grepping the files I found no reference to doordash, uber eats or midjourney, only a path reference to what appears to be a spotify integration library, but the source for that isn't there.
This is a very long way of saying a very intelligent person was “just following orders”.

Gomes said no. Raghavan clearly didn’t.

If that’s not a clear cut case of “bearing responsibility” I don’t know what is.
This isn’t likely though, is it? The device is unlikely to be running NodeJS and playwright.
Now this had me curious. Is there someone out there who has actually created a theme/template website for a static site generator like Hugo, Zola, or Jekyll where you could use both the usual markdown and the actual code files themselves? It seems fairly doable based off the templating engines available.

On the other hand, Docker seems to be a bit overkill for something one could use a static site for instead if it's supposed to be self-hosted. It's even better security-wise. Otherwise, I wonder if one could upload a gist and have it run on the server through some unknown exploit.
The real way to do this should be like Japan shinkansen, no floating pricing where you have to do some speculative game.

Flat pricing + make ticket good for something like 2 weeks to ride whenever.

If there was such predictability and flexibility, they'd immediately significantly increase their ridership.

There's a dead reply below that says "shinkansen are cheaper when bought in advance" --- I was led to believe otherwise, good to know as I ride it a few times a year.
> the speed it's increasing is insane.

I suppose you are referring to rent? On average, the price of buying a Canadian home in nominal dollars hasn't really changed since 2021, which, thanks to inflation, means that buying a home is around 12% less expensive now. That's a decrease, and not an insignificant one at that.
People listen to audio in their cars a lot more than they use navigation.
I'm glad you shared this.

My priors before reading this article were that an uncritical over-reliance on ML was responsible for the enshittification of Google search (and Google as a whole). Google seemed to give ML models carte blanche, rather than using the 80-20 rule to handle the boring common cases, while leaving the hard stuff to the humans.

I now think it's possible both explanations are true. After all, what better way to mask a product's descent into garbage than more and more of the core algorithm being a black box? Managers can easily take credit for its successes and blame the opacity for failures. After all, the "code yellow" was called in the first place because search growth was apparently stagnant. Why was that? We're the analysts manufacturing a crisis, or has search already declined to some extent?

Seems like kind of a non sequitur. Who would keep the money purely liquid? GP was pretty obviously talking about if it were invested, which statistically would have beat inflation using even pretty conservative options/funds. Using the 4% rule, it would have yielded $1.2m annually in 1990 value, and adjusted up for inflation every year thereafter. That's more than $2.8m/year in today's dollar.

Not only that, but in the odd scenario where it was "kept liquid", or kept purely in cash, it'd be worth $30m in today's money, not $100k. It's not clear where the $100k figure is even coming from. Even $100k/year doesn't make sense in any context I can derive.
Gpt4 driving the Bing tool is a better search engine than Google. First it can critique your objectives and turn them into effective search terms. Second it can filter through spam and avoid displaying it. Third it can reach into the contents of Target pages and actually extract the solution to the problem you're having.

These are all things that classic search engines had the opportunity to provide, but declined, in some cases due to the anti-competitive nature of reaching into pages and extracting answers, and in other cases because they would have reduced revenues.

Cue the meme: Well………………bye.

Look, we (aka OSS maintainers) are all struggling to find ways to get paid to make it sustainable—unless we're lucky enough to work at a company that literally just hired us to work on OSS. I totally get some legit gripes about how it's hard to get enough sponsors, or client projects which let you use the projects and then improve them, or whatever.

But just throwing up your hands and saying it's all over seems pretty short-sighted. How many OSS projects has this person used without supporting them? I've probably gotten umpteen amounts of value out of many projects I've never supported…not because I'm a bad person but because that's just how this works.

It was said in jest, but you went a little overboard with:

> wouldn’t even provide reliable legal tooling.

There are already funded companies and even hobbyists in Discords I'm in doing this with RAG, also patient medical docs, etc. it's really great for that use case of specific document data like laws or a patient's medical history.

Here are some AI assistants that I created that can interpret law, examine medical docs, help you buy shampoo, or even give you price and parts comparisons at your local auto parts store: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e...

I say said in jest because (and this is counter to your second point) it very likely will not replace lawyers, but become tooling for lawyers.
> Would you trust a brand new assistant to write up an email for you without proof reading it?

Depends on the complexity, but for the simpler things I think I could get confident in a day or so. For more complex things, it might take longer to assess their ability.

But I'm not going to trust LLM blindly for anything.

> I replied to set no qualifications on the claim that a human will always be needed to check that a mathematical definitions in the proof match the English equivalents.

I don't defend this strong claim and limit my answer to LLMs (and mostly just state of the art). OTOH I believe that trust will continue to be a big topic for any future AI tech.
It's definitely a mock-up, or the prototype has serious issues with geography.

To take something as useful as google search (was) and sacrifice it on Moloch’s altar for profits is profoundly bad. To the right person, such a level of callous indifference would inspire feelings of hatred.
Don’t forget that the lawyers probably took 33-40%, after costs.

FFmpeg Makes Progress on Dolby Vision Support
I imagine a lot of companies would like to integrate their apps to cars. Think the police, ambulances, taxis/Uber, etc. Currently they just solve the problem by mounting more devices to the car.

And even if you want to use only audio and maps, then there are still a selection of audio streaming providers and map providers around.
The aftermath section was quite amusing to read.

Ask HN: RAG for API Documentation
Hello HN,

I'm learning about RAG (Retrival Augmented Generation) and I am building a chatbot that can do Q&A over some documentation. I know a lot of people are working on it and wanted to know to if there were any particular recommendations for handling API documentation in this scenario (for example, what would be the best way to use Swagger API documentation with the chatbot?)

Is the recommendation to just treat it like any other text data source? Or are there are techniques for using RAG with structured data?

> You've chosen your walled garden; now it's time to realize you're stuck in it.

Yes and no. Android Automotive supports android apps, but GM's implementation (for example) still locks out android phones from using Android Auto. Yes, you can install the same apps, but the nice thing about hooking up your phone is that you're maintaining all of your apps, data, and state in one place instead of two and it's inherently different for as many different drivers as there are phones.
Joining a union is essentially saying you're ready to throw down for any worker, even a stranger, and you know without having to ask that they've made the same promise to you. Metal as hell, everyone should do it.

Hard disagree. As another reply mentions, just compare the alternatives such as Kagi that aren’t breaking search by pursuing ad growth.
Compared to outside the US, the US tipping culture is really bizarre. It's gotten to the point where baristas ask for a tip with their self checkout machines, before they having even made a drink. Tips were never meant to make up a difference as you allege, especially not when "tipping" before service, which is not a tip, but a donation or bribe.

That’s like arguing for a smart TV instead of a dumb TV plus a smart set top box. I’d vastly rather my car’s system be a dumb display for my upgradable phone. If Google stopped making Maps, your idea would mean my car could no longer navigate. With CarPlay or Android Auto, you can just switch to a different map app.
Very nice! Looks great!

May I suggest that you have a "Get Started" button right on the home page itself with a very basic tutorial?

> Furthermore, where a worker does not meet a condition to earn a particular aspect of their expected compensation, like a prerequisite for a bonus, the Commission would still consider the arrangement “garden leave” that is not a non-compete clause under this final rule even if the employer did not pay the bonus or other expected compensation

I don't think this has any place in a license. That would be a CoC, or a README section. Also just post your project somewhere people can't open issues and ask for improvements.

Though I don't think that's what most projects want. You still want feedback usually. You just want to skip the entitled users.

Very simplistic view. A worker at $15/hour isn’t as productive as someone who also makes $15/hour - that happens every day at all levels of the labor industry.

There is a net economic loss - externalities imposed on society - to people working at jobs where their basic needs aren’t being met. That comes in the cost of mental and physical health issues of the worker as well as their family through their inability to properly care for their children; which is a humanitarian issue but an economic one as well because those children don’t reach their full potential. Police, jails and health services all have this burden fall on them, and we all experience a lower quality of life as a result.

The author is talking about that they only use Google Maps, Spotify and some podcast app and that those are not available in the car. Interestingly for me only the Google Maps thing is a problem, actually Google Maps doesn't work here in South Korea so I have to use Kakao Maps or T-Map. Anyway music and especially podcast work wonderfully over bluetooth.
Another advantage of Apple devices is consistancy of UI from device to device (all iPhones work the same), and from form factor to form factor (iPhones to iPads and even to workstations, to a degree). When they get a new phone, it works like their prior one.
I see that. But a govt "for the people and by the people" will need to operate under the principle that citizens BY DEFAULT have the right to do what they want provided they don't break any laws other than in specific EXCEPTIONS where citizens may carry out tasks which requires greater supervision by the government because of extreme danger that activity may pose to others.

That’s specific to your car’s head unit. When I get into my vehicle, the iPhone in my pocket connects to its head unit via Bluetooth with zero actions from me. Seriously, I get into the car and the CarPlay display comes on showing my phone’s apps. I don’t have to plug it in, tap a button, or do anything else at all.

A bit chicken-and-egg. Another perspective: Google’s system incentivizes SEO spam.
