GPL is also part of the problem. Linux will simply never support HDMI 2.1 properly because the license precludes it. It will never support OSS like ZFS properly because the license precludes it.

It is a restrictive/closed copyleft ecosystem by design, and that’s actually completely unsuitable for a world where you must have some kinds of software (including open/libre software) and some parties simply will not license that way.

(And I know people will object to the term but it undeniably is more restrictive and closed than BSD/MIT/CDDL-style licenses - intentionally, openly, and by design. The point is that you are supposed to license your software GPL too - and when that is not possible, your freedom is denied. Intentionally, by design. But it is a closed ecosystem - you are either in it, or not, and there are large swaths of code (even open/libre code) that is excluded by design. That is a closed model, just as much as, say, CUDA. You play by their rules or you play in a different sandbox. And open CUDA code exists too, etc - that doesn’t mean anything to the overall ecosystem if licensing precludes people from using it.)

The minimum standard for even reaching usability would be to guarantee a BSD-style stable ABI such that kernel upstreaming is not required in the way that it currently is, and that’s a nonstarter with the current kernel leadership team. Actually they have in many cases gone out of their way to explicitly break compatibility to push others to relicense, even when they know that it’s not going to happen and their users will suffer.

When you get to the point of rejecting interop with other libre code due to license, and actively take steps to break other libre code to prevent interop - you certainly are not fully libre in the typical sense anymore. There’s a degree of fairly open hostility to other libre code at this point, in fact.

Again, it’s not 1992 anymore, Linux could absolutely maintain a stable ABI through major releases. Not only do they not want to do that, they are actively, willfully, maliciously breaking other libre code (GKH has done this repeatedly). Which gives sort of a different color to the former: kernel upstreaming is one of the most potent weapons at this point, for pushing more stuff into their closed ecosystem. It’s not exactly embrace-extend-extinguish, but certainly of a similar tone and kind - join or die.
When Waymo was only available in Chandler AZ it was often said here on HN that it needed to go to SF, with all of the foggy weather, and narrow and hilly streets, to prove its worth. I guess Waymo has passed that test and SF has became an “easy” place. What would be the next difficult place that will become easy someday?
You'd be correct a few years ago, but not anymore. WOW64 mode is pretty good nowadays.
I got the AI to write excellent Romanian, both standard and rural dialects and styles. It wasn't hard. The standard remaining was a default, and I was able to dial in a rural character in less than 10 rounds of back and forth conversation about the area and background of the person and some of their speech mannerisms. These are broad strokes that the AI kind of filled in for me, not teaching it from scratch.

So just prompt it a little bit and spend maybe 300 to 800 words talking in the style you want it to emulate. And have an extended conversation where you nail in the style.

I bet you can do this to make it write in British, Australian, or Indian English styles. But I'm perhaps not really equipped to judge, since I don't know those styles natively.

Tell HN: Fedora Dual Boot didn't work, back to Mint
Hi HN, I consider myself a fairly advanced computer user. I've set up numerous EC2 servers from scratch, I've used desktop linux for at least 12 years.

But Fedora seriously doesn't want to play nice with Windows 11 on a single drive( not a lot of options on a laptop), I just got tired of fighting with it. I didn't take screenshots, but it kept complaining about a missing efi mount point or something. I'm sure a subject matter expert could tell me what happened.

I tried setting aside 500gb of free space, the auto installer couldn't figure it out. But when I switched back to Mint( which is ultimately my go to distro), I just needed to manually create the partition and it just worked.

I prefer Linux aside from music creation and gaming. Happy to run it.

Plainly not true for either Wikipedia or Stack Exchange. The rules came later, once the rules lawyers showed up to help everyone understand that those sites needed to change because they were too useful for people. This might be ancient history, but the debates that raged on for the Wikipedia editors are important. There were people who thought Wikipedia should be what we all think it should be, and they'd been there since the beginning... but they were more interested in adding missing content to Wikipedia. The exclusionists though, who to a much lesser degree hadn't been there since the beginning, thought it more important to be more prestigious than Britannica, a paper encyclopedia, for their own egos or something. And they formulated rules that they believed would get them there. And more or less the same thing with SE, though it's a private business and less a open source project than Wikipedia. Every once in awhile you'll find a 15 or 20 year old question/answer, and you'll be gobsmacked by how just "nice" it was. There was room to go off topic a little, room to provide solutions rather than answers, and so on. Though, many of those are getting deleted now days. Wouldn't want the replicants to get any ideas about how SE is supposed to work.

The disconnect is that when the core group of users was much smaller, those places acted to some extent like a real world community of people, even if no one knew anyone and no one recognized anyone else's face. Because they were a community, people wanted to be helpful. If someone had a question that was difficult to find the correct wording for, others were willing to interpret and answer the interpretation. They really wanted to be helpful. But now the group of users is much too large, and instead of wanting to be helpful, they want to compete. No one can rack up 400,000 reputation being helpful. They can't rack that up if others are being helpful. And it doesn't feel like a community, so they don't ever feel like they should be helpful.
Reading code like this makes me better understand how the Shin Megami Tensei authors came up with the idea that a computer could channel demons.
Real Estate's Role in Child Care
Because he’s an easy person to dislike. And he’s spent a lot of his career taking credit for other people’s work.

He also has a section of people that are cult-like in their defense of him which adds fuel to the fire. “You’re jealous” or “you’re just angry he’s rich” or some other such nonsense seems to come out of the woodwork for anyone who has anything even slightly negative to say about him.

Harvard wants academic celebrities. It's not enough to do solid work, you need awards, plaudits, research that punches through the noise, articles in the mainstream press, and so on. Harvard is a brand first and foremost. If what you want most in life is to be a tenured Harvard professor in your chosen field, you need to publish research that makes a big splash.

The most surefire way to do this was to simply commit fraud rather than conduct experiments and pray you get lucky and find an outlier result worthy of significant rewards. We are witnessing the fallout now as people no longer assume honesty and integrity, and begin to analyze the actual papers for accuracy.
Note that libdivide may sound like an improvement, however there are better solutions today:

1) full-blown compiler/engines like LLVM or GCC build close to optimal shift/mul-based code (without overhead for simple constants like "2")

2) if one can't include LLVM, there are lightweight libraries like xbyak or asmjit, where one can implement optimal jit solution. See https://github.com/herumi/xbyak/blob/80477f635345e8f13efc512... as a starting point.
I don't think distributing within the solar system is going to do much for us. What takes out the Earth will probably take out everything else - we'll be backstopped on Earth for centuries after we have spaceborne civilization.

I think opening up a new frontier however, is valuable - in fact specifically, the transition which would be good would be to move heavy industry out of the biosphere entirely. You can imagine a nearer future where a place like Earth is treated as the paradise it is, and the idea of polluting it when we have all the rest of the uninhabitable space of the solar system to do that in is thought of as ludicrous.

And this isn't really unreasonable - beyond a certain point, the resource and energy availability of space is far greater then the places we can reach despite the advantages of the biosphere - whether we do it by robots or with manned exploration.

There's a zeitgeist change that I think would accompany having enough people working frequently in space: where its a couple of degrees of separation from someone who's looked at the pale blue dot and gone "you have no idea how valuable this is" (I do think we should have a program which sponsors any world leader who wants to on a trip around the moon: send the people making the big decisions out past the dark side, where the thing bubble of air, steel and alloy is the only thing keeping them alive - might not always work but at least then we can know they've had the opportunity for that perspective).
I don't get the same sense from it you do. It looks to me like they realized they needed more income than launches could get them in the time they needed. Rather than solely depending on investors, they came up with a business that plays to their strength that can be a steady/recurring source of income to be less dependent on investors. I don't see SpaceX so focused on profiting from Starlink that they've lost any momentum towards any of the other SpaceX plans. From where I sit, it looks like a pretty smart play on their part. It also just happens to be a very beneficial service that so many other players in the market refused to do.
1) It's not a conspiracy theory that during the biggest housing crunch in modern history, PE firms were gobbling up the majority of all SFH sales in many markets.

2) While true, BlackRock was essentially founded by Blackstone. Their naming is no coincidence.

3) Both were involved in said practice to an extent, with Blackrock having a share in American Homes for Rent, and Blackstone Invitation Homes.
> This is the United States (plural). It was designed as a coalition of largely independent states,

What does that have to do with anything? The U.S. president is the president of all people of the U.S. — applying per-state FPTP plainly distorts the vote. It doesn't have anything to do with state sovereignty or independence, it's simply a very poor voting system. Or are you saying the states should elect the president? I'm quite sure the U.S. general public won't agree with you on that.

> and that is never going to change other than at gunpoint.

The addition of this half-sentence reads as incredibly odd. Are you expecting someone to show up and hold the U.S. at gunpoint?

> Heck, not even Italians get to vote in German elections,

Italians do in fact get to vote in German municipal and EU elections if they have a permanent residence there. Same for any other EU citizen residing in any other EU country. Only for country level elections you vote in your country of citizenship rather than residence.

I think this has led to parliaments being confused with legislatures;

a similarly sublte distinction exists between prime ministers and presidents.

I worry this kinds of apparent loses sublte distinction will be politically abused in the coming election under the scenario were the direct vote count and the electoral college suggest different winners
I hope next generations will be okay with being friends with AIs and human AI hybrids that use AI to do their speaking for them. If they don't, I'll moralize them like a judgemental Romanian grandpa, lol.

Including an ever growing variety of communication and relation styles is the way forward, not a narrowly defined notion of "real" human relations. Especially not when the notion of real happens to coincide with an inefficient and out of date style of communication that only a privileged subset of the world could master, and which most people are no longer well-educated in.

I think that a new form of AI hybrid literacy will evolve, and part of it will be reading AI generated text as if it's authentic. Because if it carries the facts and reflects the person's feelings, then it is authentic.

I tried reading your post with an open mind, but starting with your first citation of PMID 38753870 you neglect to mention it was a study done in genetically modified mice. For you to claim it is "the single most powerful supplement for lowering its risk might be urolithin-A" right after you confidently assert "Beta-amyloid is a symptom of AD, not the cause" looks like you're just as bad at jumping to conclusions as the beta-amyloiders you "don't know how could mix this up."

MacOS is still needed for the various firmware updates and other components. But the Asahi installer seems to shrink it down to about 30GB which is acceptable
That is a beautiful article, but if you are time constrained skip 1/4 down to the definition of research as leisure activity.

I felt like the author was describing me in the paragraph: “”” I’d also say that pretty much every writer, essayist, “cultural critic,” etc—especially someone who’s writing more as a vocation than a profession—has research as their leisure activity. What they do for pleasure (reading books, seeing films, listening to music) shades naturally and inevitably into what they want to write about, and the things they consume for leisure end up incorporated into some written work.”””
If I put a plastic bag in my waste bin or in my recycling bin, it doesn't end up in a tree or river in either case unless someone has comprehensively fucked up. I literally pay my local council a tax directly intended to collect and handle waste in a sensible manner.

The people that are causing the vast majority of these issues are fly tipping or littering.

I can't remember the last time a plastic item of mine ended up "in the wild".

Now, things like micro bits of plastic going down the drain after washing the dishes or running a load of laundry, that feels like a valid target.
I made some ~25 changes to the code[0], to show how some making some pretty minor changes can really improve readability, while still staying extremely tight. I don't need everything spelled out for me, and in fact I prefer a horizontal style--I hate scrolling too. But Arthur Whitney's code is deliberately obfuscating and IMO it tarnishes the positive aspects of the style.

Mesa's implementation will get a compliance certification once it's ready. I don't see why they would have problems with that - other Vulkan drivers got compliance from Khronos once they passed needed tests. Patent FUDs are nonsense - no one else has such issues and many drivers already exist and work fine.

The real reasons are not good at all (i.e. Apple's obsession with lock-in) and have no excuse.
>All of our "recycling" heads to landfill for this reason.

1. recycling doesn't consist solely of plastic recycling

2. even factoring in contamination, claiming that "all" of it is heading to landfills is a stretch.

By "perfect" I just meant that digital audio perfectly reproduces the recorded analog signals. https://youtu.be/cIQ9IXSUzuM

I didn't mean to indirectly praise Bluetooth in my post. Bluetooth anything pretty much sucks. Bluetooth audio in particular is pretty bad and full of usability issues. It doesn't seem to have the bandwidth required since the audio gets transcoded to some lossy format.

I once set up an mpd music server on my local network and audio quality was perfect. However I encountered significant latency issues. Play and pause had a latency of one second which made it unusable. That was true even for uncompressed audio streams over the network.

I got bored before I was able to resolve the problem. Maybe the problem was my network. I should try it again now that I have a much higher performance router running OpenWRT which is capable of traffic shaping.

But that new planet has the exact same fate as Earth in that the Sun will eventually devour it. The only way for the species to survive longer than the sun is to find other planets around other stars at different stages of their life cycles. Yeah, I agree. Expecting the species to survive that long is a bit optimistic.
You probably had to compile libsodium and build a shared object. That can take a long time. But the scripts that run when npm installing modules can contain malicious payload, yes.

Microsoft AI spying scandal: time to rethink privacy standards
Can you explain further? Yes, it takes more effort to express, or rather to create .bzl files to express these dependencies (e.g. let's say we have Python using C/C++) - but once it's done it gives a higher level (BUILD) language where this is easy to express... Now there are still many rough corners (especially when comes to dealing with non-mono repo deps), but I'd rather use this, than hodge-podge of shell scripts/makefiles/cmake/etc, where the steps are not even clear what to run first, and the confiendence if this going to be reproducible.

So dismantle it and make a mess again and start building your draft that way. You can tell the AI to be destructive as well, to just randomly rewrite whole sections you don't like for whatever reason.

All of this is stuff that good writers have to do as well... They can just as easily get stuck making meaningless edits to well tidied but unsatisfying prose - so-called polishing the turd. They also have to get the sledgehammer out sometimes.

So either be destructive and rip out and reimagine whole sections, or tell the AI to help you do it. If you get it "having fun", and have fun with it yourself, you can get some really cool and satisfying stuff!
All of it that shows rendering beyond what GPUs "only know".

You're being facetious, but it probably should be. AI+combinatorial optimization seems like an underexplored research area IMO.
