I used OS-9 on a 68K system when I worked for a telecom company. It was a great OS. The one thing I remember loving was typing `cd ...` to go up to the parent's parent directory. I still find myself typing it in bash and being disappointed it doesn't work.
I personally love jwts. It's been suggested in other comments that you can just store tokens in a dB or something.

Why would I, I can just issue a jwt and move on, I don't need to store anything apart from a key to check it with.

And using jwts with nodejs (which I use most frequently) is a super simple and easy npm install, it's almost zero effort to use a jwt.

As a user of Kagi and search.marginalia.nu I can tell you:

Quite a bit.

So much that now that I have what "everyone" asked Google for for years - that is blacklists - I hardly use them.

Why? Because with Kagi I get much better results out of the box.

I am fairly sure Googlers will tell me there are multiple safeguards to prevent the inclusion of Google ads from affecting ranking, to which I just have to say that the results speak for themselves.

Please note: I have only used Kagi for two years. I am only one user. But I am a user with 20 years of experience with Google and that got to count for something.
According to the OSI's "Open Source Definition" [1], indeed. It forbids discrimination against any person or group to use the software.

Most public source code repositories on the web require every piece of software published on them to be under an OSI-approved license. Not licensing under an OSI-approved license could therefore impede the chances of getting your software distributed and used.

I've been thinking on a related issue: perhaps there is a need to formulate a wider but still closed definition that repositories could adopt that would also include some "ethical" source code licenses and "Non-AI licenses" [2].

I mean... maybe, but not really. The first problem of the internet was that there wasn't that much content specifically. The first internet companies were the broadband providers who were developing content themselves, like AOL.

Google and the ad ecosystem they acquired was basically the flywheel that spurred content creation at scale. Anyone could jump in, follow a few guidelines and earn a living by producing content on the internet. The Youtube acquisition and monetization followed the same pattern.

Over time the market consolidated and got less and less competitive: less platforms with complete control of traffic and one-sided revenue sharing agreements. The guidelines so to speak on how content should look and feel like were algorithmically made stricter and stricter until everything looks, feels, sounds and reads the same.

The problem right now is that the platforms are still tightening their grip, and it's all tied to the approach of using AI to replace the content creators on the platforms from Google to Spotify to Meta, and carving the spared money to shareholders. And while the web has been shitty for a few years now, we're now seeing a sudden drop in quality because the average user has no recourse or alternative, and neither does the average creator have the means of distribution and monetization (not just publishing, that's been solved) to even find, let alone meet the new kinds of demand.

I'm certain that in a few years this will even out: new search engines, new aggregators and new feeds will emerge, but the content - money - network problem triangle remains as a fundamental problem of the internet.

Historically the container as a product was not OS complexity derived, but language packaging and runtime heterogeneity derived. C/C++, Java, Ruby, Python, Go, etc all have different packaging practices and trying to unify those inconsistencies across a fleet was what inspired the container, which was possible because underlying OS technologies like namespacing and layered filesystems existed.

The namespacing and layered filesystem work in the OS that make containers possible itself arose through other motivations within kernel scope to actually reduce accidental complexity and make various workloads, like suspend and resume, more sane.

Now that containers exist and have been successful, related but alternate tech like unikernels have seen interest, to reduce the security surface and further optimize deployments of large fleets.

Show HN: Generate content ideas from YouTube comments
Hey HN!

I run a niche blog and YouTube channel with ~48k subscribers. Finding new ideas is hard, especially with recent disruptions to SEO. It's getting harder to count on traditional search data (mostly because things feel fuzzy atm), so I built Comment Pilgrim to generate keywords and analyze feedback from the comments section of any YouTube video.

For anyone willing to give feedback, the first 5 reports you generate are free. I always recommend going to the top creators in your niche and using their best videos to let Comment Pilgrim find where the audience still has questions, concerns, and gaps in understanding.

Watch the 2-minute demo here: https://youtu.be/bw4Oh6E4cVw

Built on the MERN stack and hosted entirely on GCP since I'm most familiar with it.

Would love feedback from those familiar with Semrush and Ahrefs or who have built large channels or blogs!
You mean the way Google worked originally? The founders were very careful in creating a barrier between ads and search.

This is a common misconception that if the kernel needs direct hardware access and such, then it all becomes unsafe.

Rust programming style is building safe (zero-cost) abstractions on top of unsafe primitives, turning all other code into safe "glue" code. If you design for it, you can have a lot of "boring" code even in a kernel.

A kernel will have more unsafe primitives to implement, but the safe/unsafe division still helps testing the unsafe parts, and still prevents bugs caused by misuse of these APIs.

The type system that gives safety in userspace still exists in the kernel space. So even if the allocators and threads are different, you still have the type system tools to write safer APIs for them.

> Those games are huge, with ~40 hours of content each

40 Hours is not much, especially for the complete run, which usually contains grind and secrets. Going by that logic, Stardew Valley would be a better game, with 200 hours of content. Star Citizen should be even massivly better game, with 300 to 1950 Hours of content. Playtime is a useless metric if you ignore quality, complexity and game-type.

> And each game in the series utilized different systems, art assets, and mechanics. Testing/QC alone must have been pretty arduous!

You say it, as if Star Citizen isn't doing the same, and more.

> And they did all of that to AAA standards, across multiple platforms.

Just as a reminder, Mass Effect is using a Unreal Engine, meaning the vast work is done from someone else. Assets are dead content and a solved problem, they run on whatever platform your engine is working on. But as another Metric, Mass Effect 1-3 had still 9-10 Years of development-time, not including remakes and ports. Because it seems you forgot that Mass Effect 1 had also some years of development before its release, which was 3-4 years. That the other games then could release so fast is no surprise, they build on each other and mostly add dead assets.

> Say what you will about Bioware botching the ending, they didn't leave their customers hanging.

Nobody is saying that Bioware is a bad Company, or that Mass Effect wasn't a good and innovative game. But it's a different game and situation from Star Citizen, and it's company. Bioware did only a little bit of innovation, mostly transferring solved problems from movie-creators to gaming. The rest is just a regular story-game, using the regular old tools and experience they had. Star Citizen on the other side is a constant research, they build a high level simulation, went through several engines and fixed problems in areas which Mass Effect has not even touched upon. This is just not the same.

> As for Minecraft, version 0.0.1 Alpha was released in May 2009, and Minecraft 1.0.0 was released in Nov 2011.

Minecraft wasn't done with 1.0. It's constantly being improved in the last 15 years. This is the point where Minecraft and Star Citizen are the same, the constant research for more and better mechanics. This is very different from adding just dead asset-content.

I don't think anything changed commercially. In security companies, know hows, scripts, support, feature set, is all IDA, not Ghidra. Especially the feature set is not yet the same (IDA has more bells and whistles).

Personally, I've switched to Ghidra for most of the things, IDA only when Ghidra doesn't handle something. But then again, personally I never was an IDA customer, beacuse it's too expensive for hobbyist use (and IDA Free is too limited).

One of the most interesting parts of the EU AI act is section 105 which forbids unrestricted use of copyrighted content for generative AI.

It is specifically "opt-out" but does not specify how opting out should be declared.

I think it would mean that any web scraper that is mining data for a "generative AI" model would need to be able to detect copyright notices and interpret them correctly. I'd think that "All Rights Reserved" definitely means "No".

> A runbook is a set of precise commands...

Not really? That's a shell script. A runbook includes context, prerequisites, and troubleshooting steps, not just commands. Also, it's generally considered manual.

FWIW, replying to one of your other comments, a playbook is generally considered a more automated runbook, with branching plays based on conditionals, bridging from a runbook world to an automation word; that's why Ansible used the term.

What makes a runbook a runbook are the detailed instructions, including prerequisites, step-by-step procedures, screenshots, and even troubleshooting tips, to help the user run the `precise commands` with consistency and reliability in operational use on systems that are never quite right and when the user who needs to perform these specific tasks reliably doesn't have enough technical knowledge to even know if they're doing them right.

I like the idea -- but what if you rethought it to check in with the user step by step, telling them what they're about to do next, then co-looking at the results they get to see if it's working or if they've lost the plot and need to replan?

I have high octane AD[H]D and as my hearing "goes" so does my ability to listen to people with noise around. For at least 12 years i've had to warn my wife and children if they're not facing me when they talk i can't hear them - but i was recently let in on the fact that other people consider them mumblers, so. I have a heard time hearing most people on the phone, especially call centers.

Prior to what i would describe as idiotic practices in my 20s and 30s, i could focus rapt attention on as few or as many people as required in nearly any situation, parties, bars, whatever. Music venues obviously not, but looking at someone and talking loudly near their ear (vice versa) worked fine.

My hearing issues are similar to my FIL's, who is 50% deaf in one ear and 95%+ in the other. if you're sittin on the wrong side, you're getting a lot of smiles and nods, because "eh?" gets old. real. fast. However, i can hear a raccoon messing around outside, and no one else seems to hear it; also a phone notification going off in the next room, as examples. my hearing "feels" fine, except in the very specific circumstance of human speech recognition. I also have tinnitus sometimes - it comes and goes, and if i concentrate i can focus it to the point of wincing, sometimes.

interestingly i have to turn down the master volume of games when i am voice chatting. any amount of noise from the game will interfere with my ability to process people speaking, especially if the game has a lot of talking. Additionally, i cannot watch any tv or film produced after about 2000 or so without subtitles, regardless of how fancy the "5.1 surround" center channel DSP is.

sorry for rambling, i suppose i don't think ADHD has anything to do with my hearing loss or issue; I should have worn hearing protection more when i was younger and i'm not regretting it much now, but when i can't hear music i enjoy i'll be pretty sad about that.

"We are disappointed that Ms. Toner continues to revisit these issues. An independent committee of the board worked with the law firm Wilmer Hale, to conduct an extensive review of the events of November."

It's interesting that the review was never published and no comments from the review were mentioned. The "summary" here[1] only reveals a list of things they did and the least possible endorsement of Altman.

"WilmerHale found that the prior Board acted within its broad discretion to terminate Mr. Altman, but also found that his conduct did not mandate removal."

I find it telling that they did not release the actual report.
