Just like they wasted time and effort on Unity and shuttered it in favor of Gnome, and they wasted time and effort on Mir and shuttered it in favor of Wayland, and they wasted time and effort on Upstart and shuttered it in favor of systemd.

Canonical will fail once again, but only after jerking the community around for multiple years.
It does do graphics. Calculating graphics is different from handling display output. You can separate the two.

Like someone else mentioned, laptops often have discrete graphics cards that are not wired to display hardware at all, needing to shuffle framebuffers through the onboard graphics when something needs to make its way to a screen.
> limit voting rights.

The Constitution does very little to regulate voting or define the election process: substantial responsibilities are placed upon the States and Congress to establish the parameters around the exercise of this specific right.

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." is highly explicit and unambiguous. (without delving into the legal shitshow that is "shall"..)

> So just to stress test this idea

This sounds dangerously like the setup to a strawman generalization: I was postulating specifically on suffrage and why people might not be presently "lamenting" a widely-accepted-as-positive increase to liberty.

> you would be in favor of any additional liberty that went through the amendment process?

Generally, yes! I trust our 50 state legislatures to make the right choices. All of these hypotheticals probably would never survive the process: whether I alone think it's "beneficial" isn't relevant.
What's driving users away is not snap but rather Canonical's heavy-handed way of foisting snap on users that would make Microsoft proud.

A lot of people dislike any tool that actually has wide spread usage. No one complains about tools that have been abandoned.

OK, I'll bite. How exactly are [US] domestic users of services supposed to prove they don't need to prove their identity?

EDIT: it reminds me of the Common Travel Area (between Ireland and of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), which has some glorious inconsistencies. For instance that nationals of Ireland and the UK travelling between those two countries do not need a passport, except when you take an international flight and rock up at IE/UK border control it's fairly hard to prove you are a national who doesn't need to provide a passport without having ... a passport (or equivalent ID).
> This isn't even a classified activity! The Army has an entire MOS called PSYOPS where your goal is to influence foreign populations and cultural institutions in support of US military objectives.

It's even more apparent than that! They themselves made a wild Youtube video about it.

It begs the question, is outlier success mainly due to crazy ideas combined with a lack of discernment?
I'm happy this reversal occurred, but I am exhausted by the continuous flip-flopping of legislation depending on which party is in charge. Feels like we're stagnating as a nation by going in a circle rather than finding commonality to go forward.

Maybe it's always been this way though and I'm just getting old enough to be bothered by it?

As usual, it’s also worth remembering that compared to their competition:

- Nintendo is the most reliant on their own IP for sales

- Nintendo does not have a corporate giant to absorb any misfires

- Nintendo is the smallest gaming giant, at half the value of Sony, and less than a tenth the value of Microsoft

- Nintendo has the greatest dependency on maintaining an image of being family-friendly. Shock content wouldn’t muster a single headline for a Microsoft IP, but could be national news if it involves Yoshi and causes suicidal thoughts in a 6 year old

All of this adds up to a more strict attitude.
On top of that, it is to identify FOREIGN users

>>"require U.S. IaaS providers to verify the identity of foreign users of U.S. IaaS products, ... which calls for the Department to require U.S. IaaS providers to ensure that their foreign resellers verify the identity of foreign users. E.O. 14110 also provides the Department with authority to require U.S. IaaS providers submit a report to the Department whenever a foreign person transacts with them to train a large AI model with potential capabilities that could be used in malicious cyber-enabled activity."

We damn well SHOULD be identifying foreign users of our services, particularly those which have high-powered potential to cause harm.

This knee-jerk [govt identifying anybody is bad] response prevalent here deeply undermines the cause of actually maintaining privacy. There are actually very bad actors out there, and if we fail to identify and contain them, things will be far worse. The reality is that some measures must be taken — let's focus on containing the real threats, not cry foul at every shadow of a hint that we might approach a slippery slope.

"The solar system's distant reaches exhibit a wealth of anomalous dynamical structure, hinting at the presence of a yet-undetected, massive trans-Neptunian body - Planet 9. Previous analyses have shown how orbital evolution induced by this object can explain the origins of a broad assortment of exotic orbits, ranging from those characterized by high perihelia to those with extreme inclinations. In this work, we shift the focus toward a more conventional class of TNOs, and consider the observed census of long-period, nearly planar, Neptune-crossing objects as a hitherto-unexplored probe of the Planet 9 hypothesis. To this end, we carry out comprehensive N−body simulations that self-consistently model gravitational perturbations from all giant planets, the Galactic tide, as well as passing stars, stemming from initial conditions that account for the primordial giant planet migration and sun's early evolution within a star cluster. Accounting for observational biases, our results reveal that the orbital architecture of this group of objects aligns closely with the predictions of the P9-inclusive model. In stark contrast, the P9-free scenario is statistically rejected at a ∼5σ confidence-level. Accordingly, this work introduces a new line of evidence supporting the existence of Planet 9 and further delineates a series of observational predictions poised for near-term resolution."

I used to work for an engineering services company, and by default, our quotes would include a minimum of 40 hours just for finding and sourcing appropriate components.

Even for an experienced EE, it can be ridiculously time consuming. And it's one of those "hidden tasks" that has to be done but is rarely explicitly accounted for.
If we ever could find a Superman who would agree to be a benevolent monarch, sure. The only problem is that Superman is actually a work of fiction (and even a fictional one would refuse the role) and real people have, let's say, not so stellar record of being benevolent. It's one of those nice ideal arguments that works very well as long as you are allowed to assume magical entities that can't actually exist in the real world.
Defense/military is one of the few government functions that libertarians endorse as totally necessary. To many, it's the only legitimate government function.

Sorry but... At the Unity (WM) time Ubuntu was the distro able to satisfy both end users and techies, adopting Gnome SHell they already say "we are like others", than pushing CRAP like snap have completed the game. Back than Ubuntu have ceased to be interested for anyone with a bit of competence and have started to be annoying for generic users.

NixOS today is not in an excellent shape, but is the go-to distro of any tech savvy, Arch have intercepted old-schools users locked in a far past, Guix System try to thrive, Ubuntu now is on par of classic RH in crappiness and commercial conduct.

Unsurprisingly, Kavanaugh and the rest of the conservatives would prefer this approach be relegated to history. Of course, the areas of particular interest that he cites as examples (securities e.g, finance, communications, and environmental laws) just happen to be those where the two parties could not possibly be further apart in their approaches.

I just saw this notice, and I'm not happy about it. Sometimes I want ChatGPT to forget things. Honestly, this makes me more likely to roll my own assistant with the API (or a competitor) than to continue using ChatGPT.

Being able to create a new chat to correct from a polluted context is a feature, not a bug.

But there are some cases where shared context can be valuable - so I'd like to be able say "Hey, use the context(s) I select for this conversation," and not have it be an all or nothing kind of thing.
I took me some reflection and some education from the comments here to see this, but it seems like Powell had the same pique to the interviewer's questions as he did to his colleague's. So he answers the questions, but at the same time he critiques the interviewer:

- "I now lack the juice to fuel the bluster to conceal that I am a simpleton," suggesting that the interviewer still has said juice. This also allows some subtle critiques like "I'm ignorant of 'malapert'", which on the surface is a sort of back-handed compliment to the questioner on their ability to coin a phrase like "malapert urbanity" that a "simpleton" like they are interviewing does not understand. But it also suggests that if the "legend" they are interviewing does not know the word, perhaps this is excessive juice.

- "It emerges with no consideration for anything but the next correct word." Questioner, stop overthinking things.

- Then when the interviewer asks Powell to agree with his assertion-as-a-question that there is no wrong way to read a book, Powell responds with a story about how he wants to focus on making writing better but people like the interviewer that say there are no wrong ways to read a book are actually teaching that there are wrong ways to say things. Furthermore, people like the interviewer eviscerated a recent book in the style that people like the interviewer celebrated, on the grounds of racism, despite the fact that the content of his books is from actual black people who said those things. So the implied answer the question is that no, a book does not get unmoored from its time period, because he cannot actually publish those books today, and that there may or may not be a wrong way to read a book, but there certainly is a wrong way to write one, namely his (celebrated) way.

But then it all goes completely over the interviewer's head (no doubt as expected). I wasn't impressed with Powell on the first read, but wow, that is some finesse!
Show HN: Hive – open-source Marketplace for AI
gm gm,

We’re excited to show our project, Hive Network, a new frontier for decentralized AI agents that operate both on-chain and off-chain. Our mission is to make AI more powerful and transparent, and we’re inviting you to join us in this revolution.

What is Hive Network AI?
--
Hive Network AI is a platform where developers can create, deploy, and manage AI agents that function autonomously across blockchain and traditional networks. Our system addresses significant issues in the AI space, such as the lack of transparency, difficulty in monetizing models, and insufficient research funding.

Features of Hive Network AI
--
1] Decentralized Agents: Build agents that operate independently, with the capability to execute tasks on blockchain networks.
2] Model and Dataset Monetization: Through our Model Hub, AI engineers can monetize their models, opening up new revenue streams.
3] Research and Development Support: Our Research Hub supports AI researchers by providing them with the necessary funding and resources to advance their work.
4] Complex Workflows with Swarms: Aggregate multiple agents into a Swarm to tackle complex tasks and workflows.

Why It Matters
--
In an era where AI development is often opaque and centralized, Hive Network AI introduces a platform for greater transparency and collaboration. By decentralizing the development and deployment of AI agents, we empower creators and developers to own and profit from their innovations.

Get Involved
--
We’re currently welcoming early users to join our waitlist. Visit our website at Hive Network AI to learn more and sign up.

We believe that the future of AI should be open and accessible, and with Hive Network AI, we are making that future a reality. We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or potential use cases you envision with our platform.

Thanks for checking out Hive Network AI. I’ll be around to answer any questions you have!

It's actually kind of insane when you think about it, you destroy something that will not be fixed on human time scale and you fix it by "paying" with an imaginary token your government is printing from thin air.

IIRC there is at least one known case where a moderately major criminal was let go rather than the government disclosing how they got the evidence on him. The assumption has been that they had a way of compromising TOR that they didn't want to reveal.
After reading _Quicksilver_ I began to wonder if a Universal Language, as conceived by Wilkins, could have an extremely powerful effect on the "thought patterns" one might instruct an LLM to use when responding to a specific prompt.
I agree, and I'd rather Congress weigh in now that we've had this specific issue flip-flop twice. I do not like the implication that agency rulemaking is anti-democratic though. We have utilized this structure for well over 120 years, or practically half of the country's history.
It's partly what happens when such important rules are determined by who is appointed at an executive agency, rather than requiring an act of Congress. The former can be trivially gamed by the party in power after each election, whereas getting Congress to take action on something can be difficult and requires you to first get them motivated to do so at a given moment.
This is reflected in bazel - https://bazel.build/reference/test-encyclopedia#role-test-ru... - one can mark the tests in terms of their expected time to finish, and their memory usage, but also whether it can run together with other tests, etc.
There's a surprising amount of debate in this thread on the rights and wrongs of this topic.

As a matter of simple efficiency, what I suggest to you all is that you imagine this was being rolled out by the British government.

Because then you'd all be certain what it meant and what was necessary.
you mean add pain by introducing a nondeterministic LLM in the loop where none is needed?
I think a good chunk of non-tech people in my social circles would be appalled that such sites exist, and assume that running them would be illegal.

So far, an update from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS on an Intel based Dell Lattitude laptop without any weird hardware produced a failure that was a white screen that just said to contact a system administrator. Could be a fluke. Trying to rescue this produced a non-bootable system. Could be user error.

After that a clean install of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on the same machine worked, but after installing the latest Chrome on top of this, it won't start. After installing the latest Slack, that won't start either. BitWarden from the snap store will start, but after logging in, I get a endless spinner instead my vault contents. It is hard to believe that the Chrome/Slack/BitWarden issues are user error.

I'm not sure I've ever seen such a rough LTS release. I still wonder if this is just somehow me since surely they wouldn't release it without Chrome and Slack working, but I can't see what I could have done wrong just following the directions here.
Nothing at all stops that, and there's scarce incentive for independent node operators. Indeed, it is commonly surmised that many node operators have a hidden incentive: they're explicitly trying to control enough nodes to deanonymize traffic because they are law enforcement agencies.

Our legislative branch abdicated its power when they stopped bothering to pass laws that people actually want.

If the FTC and FCC weren't doing either of these things, they simply wouldn't happen. As soon as a Net Neutrality or non-compete clause ban bill makes it to the senate floor, Republicans will just filibuster it, even though public opinion is overwhelmingly in support of both these measures.
That's cool if you're happy with Go. I'm pretty sure you'd have been equally happy going to Rust though. Once you go over the first few days of learning curve Rust is very similar to Go I'm terms of productivity.

I like the syntax and type system more in Rust, but at the end of the day the language are pretty similar in terms of developer experience if you're doing back end stuff[1].

(Fun fact I learned Rust and Go roughly at the same time in 2015, and Go's tutorial was a big help for my understanding of concurrent programming in Rust, with channels and mutexes, for someone who came from a JavaScript background and had never been exposed to threads before).

[1] A cool thing about Rust is that you can use it to learn new stuff that aren't web back-end, but that's a good reason to pick it for side projects, not for using it as a company.

There is no absolute right to anonymity in the US constitution.

(The courts have "recognized relatively strong First Amendment presumptions on behalf of purveyors of anonymous speech, especially for those that are statements of opinions rather than obvious falsehoods, while recognizing that government sometimes has the right to identify such speakers when they have used their platforms to harass, engage in slander or sexual predation, make true threats, or allow foreign governments to influence U.S. elections")

You have no choice.

Going down the argument of "don't use anyone you don't trust" brings up the argument of.. well why are you paying Experian?

Where I'm getting to this is: We often times don't have a choice, that choice that looks like we have it is untrustable in the future, and we're being aggressively pushed into a situation where you have people of questionable interests. This rule/law encourages them to collect it, but there's no aggressive lifestyle ending punishments for crossing the line.
> They own the company.

> Any medium/large company in China has a government representative embedded in the exec team.

These two aren't the same thing. Obviously if you go directly against the Chinese government you're liable to disappear for a while, like Jack Ma. I just don't think the Chinese government gives that much of a shit about a social media company. Despite all the hysteria about TikTok being uniquely corrosive to society you can see most of the same content and trends on homegrown competitors like Instagram.
Tiktok is banned indirectly because of the Gaza war and and its coverage by American youth. It is too free and is one of the last medium that show the reality on the ground and thus must be shut, banned to smithereens. Next step like Israelis have done is to shut Al Jazeera from the US. The same had been done in Europe against Russian media...
