> Users want "it just works" and that's the experience they get with Microsoft and Apple (however bad it is in other ways).

It isn't. With Apple they get "it works or it doesn't" which is crap when it doesn't, because you can't fix it and Apple won't. With Microsoft things are commonly broken, often by accident, and no easier to fix than installing codecs on Linux. But worse, with both of them, is when things are broken on purpose. Almost like Linux. Only not for your benefit, but for theirs, at your expense.

Which puts some lie to the notion that easier always wins. It isn't easier to use Windows, it's a mess of bad code and half of it is out to get you. People use Windows because they have to, or because it came on their computer when they bought it. If you want adoption you need to address that -- do something about the Windows-only apps. Get more Linux PCs into the stores.

Which are the things that are happening. Things that used to need Windows are now websites or mobile apps. Google's money got Chromebooks onto the store shelves. And if you include ChromeOS, Linux has gone from <1% market share in 2010 to now having as much desktop market share as Mac did back then. All of which at the expense of Microsoft, because now Mac has twice that much.

Being opinionated isn't the problem, it's a feature. The competition is opinionated too, but its opinion is that you're cattle to be milked.
You are right.

But you can ocupar without okupar.

The k differences the political movement from the physical act of using a property which is not yours. Okupas don't promote squatting in a small owner property. They promote using unused properties from banks.

I think Valve's combination of KDE, Flatpak and an immutable rootfs is the right combination (Kinoite also does this, but it plays second fiddle to the Silverblue which uses Gnome). ChromeOS has also been making moves towards becoming a proper Linux distro with their adoption of Wayland, separation of Chrome from the underlying OS, support for running native Linux applications and even Windows applications through Steam.

A lot of people scoff at getting Google involved, but if they put their weight behind Linux applications (or even Wine) then that could mean filling some of the gaps in software support. Adobe might not care about desktop Linux, but ChromeOS? It has widespread adoption in business and particularly education and given a native port, that means every Linux distribution could get access to it too.

Windows has stalled, they're throwing all their effort into AI features that customers don't want. It's a perfect time to make a move.

The 57B is a mixture of experts, with only 14B parameters “active” at one time. So it has the memory footprint of a 57B but the compute footprint of a 14B.

This is what also Merkel's Germany plan was, and the results are... so-and-so. I wonder how come nobody thought about said strategical planning? I know planning is hard but it's not nuclear science and they should have counted with the pushback as well. And by the way, did anybody learn any lesson?
> A person's right to exist and to pursue continued existence is inalienable and beyond the authority of a government or society to regulate.

Natural/inalienable rights are a fiction. No one has any rights unless someone with guns is willing to enforce those rights. And hopefully the people with guns have some checks and balances on them such that they can't use their guns to violate those rights themselves.

I think it's great that we have (some) governments that have some list of human rights enumerated in their laws and founding documents. But even then, rights are protected unevenly.

> Does the government (any government) have the authority to require identity proof from a person, simply because that person exists?

That depends on what you mean by "authority". If you're talking about moral authority, then I'd probably agree with you that no, they don't. But in the end the authority that matters in reality is the kind you get by wielding a gun; under that definition, governments have all the authority they need to do stuff like that.

Good article, also has references to the glib's source. I've never dived deep into the random() system function before. This is from the man pages:

"The random() function should not be used in multithreaded programs where reproducible behavior is required. Use random_r(3) for that purpose."

Perhaps the notes should be updated to state that the performance of multi-threaded programs is also affected due to the shared global resource?

I believe it would be beneficial to include a similar description on your landing page. This would help users immediately understand what your app offers and what they can expect from it.

That's the only major roadblock left, rip out the anti-cheat stuff and the games generally work. I'm not sure how Valve could address this without people getting angry. They could eventually leverage their immutable rootfs setup to enable attestation of the system stack and run the games in security hardened containers?
That was a lot of fun! Thank you :)

>In the UK people are free to go about their lives with no ID

That's because the surveillance creeps in sideways. I believe it was Lee Kuan Yew who once stated that a 'vertical' strong government where duties between citizens and the state are explicit and clearly defined is much more rights preserving than a weak, 'horizontal' government, where you don't have to show your id but then the police goes and buys all your private information from the gray market private sector a la ClearView AI and sends it two the fifteen three letter agencies. It's no accident that the US, UK, AUS etc. are some of the leaders in this gray zone, intelligence, mission creep.
> A US citizen requires proof of SSN, either a social security card or W2

That is incorrect. For example, see California's REAL ID checklist[0]. I got my REAL ID in CA by presenting my birth certificate and two forms of address verification.

It's possible that some states require proof of SSN, but that does not appear to be an absolute requirement for the feds to sign off on the state's process.

Mosh is a great tool but you’re thinking of tmux like a client side tool when in fact, like Mosh, you can run tmux server side and have it manage all of that annoying state you described earlier.

There’s definitely overlap in features between tmux and mosh but it’s better to think of them as solving different problems. Mosh is for working on laggy or unstable network connections. Whereas tmux is more like a terminal based tiling window manager.

At the end of the day there are as many good reasons to use tmux as there are good reasons not to. Like most things terminal based, it’s just a matter of personal preference
Proof of SSN might be difficult for some people. I know lots of people who have lost their Social Security Card, or at least have no idea where it is.

(Regardless, the GP is incorrect; proof of SSN is not a REAL ID requirement, at least not in every state. If a state requires proof of SSN, they're going above and beyond what the feds require.)

>As a result the modern ID card system and citizen registration is decentralized by design. When you move between two Bundeslände (states), your records are digitally transferred. They may not under any circumstances exist in two. They get held in a kind of digital holding state during the transfer.

Fun fact. When the war in the East started, first thing russians did in certain places was to go to the district tax office, get the to the decentralized paper storage and ransom every person who can reasonably have about 30K USD to not sit in the torture basement, including some random IT shmuks reading this forum.

Then the same people had a huge pain in the ass to prove their identity to other part of split-brained system, since all the primary documents are stored in a province that government can't physically access and trust their word.

> Why would I want to use an AI to win a game of chess?

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-63043023

Though such a question misses the point: use the right tool for the job.

(For a non-ML example, I don't know why 5/8 wrenches exist, but I'm confident of two things: (1) that's a very specific size, unlikely to be useful for a different sized problem; (2) using one as a hammer would be sub-optimal).

I'm not interested in creating a taxonomy of special purpose AI models which each do one thing well and nothing else. What I can do is give a handful of famous examples, such as chess.

Other choices at my disposal (but purely off the top of my head and in no way systematic) include the use of OCR to read and hence sort post faster than any human and also more accurately than all but the very best. Or in food processing for quality control (I passed up on a student work placement for that 20 years ago). Or the entirity of Google search, Gmail's spam filters, Maps' route finding and at least some of its knowledge of house numbers, their CAPTCHA system, and Translate (the one system on this list which is fundamentally the same an LLM). Or ANPR.

It's like you're saying "food is bad" because you don't like cabbage — the dislike is a valid preference, of course it is, but it doesn't lead to the conclusion.
Probably not Kelvin.

This is the only one that really matters. It also implies a complete redesign of how "responsiveness" is handled, because the usual failure mode of slow GUIs is to get blocked on a whole cascade of updates which have to be done in series. Immediate mode GUIs are a lot better for this because the programmer knows that they can't call out to get some data; you render what you're given, either it's arrived on this frame or it hasn't.

If that was the case then you would expect to only find autism in populations descended from Europe and parts Western and central Asia.

You would also expect autism to be nearly completely absent in Africa, East Asia, and native Oceania and North and South American populations.

I’m not an expert, but I don’t believe any of that is true.

It’s a fun “theory” but it doesn’t survive even casual analysis.
No, the person bringing it up is just wrong. Some states may require proof of SSN in order to get a REAL ID, but many (such as California) do not, and as such, that means the federal requirements that the states have to comply with in order to issue REAL IDs does not require proof of SSN.
Was this comment targeted at me or other commenters that are [flagged] or removed right now? Sincerely, I don’t understand, as it’s my comment you replied to.

If that is targeted to me, I don’t understand which slurs are you talking about. Calling Russians Russians is a slur now? Explaining other parts of their culture, maybe? Explain me please. To me that looks like you (or ycombinator which policy you follow) side with Russians. Are you even aware of the genocidal war they place at Ukraine right now for over two years? Is it allowed to mention on hacker news? Besides that, I’m not calling names. I’m just telling others, ‘look he’s Russian, unfortunately they don’t understand the concept of paying for software, respecting its license. Since, after all, they don’t have human rights to start with’. I would prefer to get your public explanation of these policies rather than telling me in email in private. I remember similar occasions in other threads, one with me, and with others as well. So my assumption is that some kind of policy I didn’t get from the rules.

The previous ban was on a similar occasion. So my assumption is that you just chose your side already. And it’s not allowed to say not even some bad words about Russians, but just mention the true parts of their culture here on hacker news. That’s how I see the issue, if your comment was targeted at my communication. Not my opponents that are obviously harassed me for expressing my point of view. As they’re flagged, I don’t understand if I interpreted you correctly.

Thanks, looking forward to your comment.

P.S. As I was allowed to comment, looks like the whole ban thing is targeted at someone else, isn’t it? I am perplexed.

Yeah read-heavy apps shouldn't be SPAs. There's just nothing useful to show or do in there without data. However if a native desktop version of reddit existed it would have exactly the same problem, so it isn't really a tech issue, they just picked the "wrong" approach (probably for DX + talent pool reasons).
Still one step too far.

It's the typical "for the kids" mantra, that is routinely abused over and over and over again. Not the kids that are abused but the abuse of this kind of language in the terms of service to persecute innocent people. The most telling thing is that they say that this is so they can comply with the law. Of course once they have built a system where they have remote access capabilities then the law can require them to use that access for law enforcement purposes. They could also 100% comply with any law and any subpoena if they did not have access whatsoever. They simply respond we do not have access.

This shows the core problem with building the back doors into the software and devices that we have that the manufacturer can leverage. For all the faults that Apple has they do not and knowingly build in back doors because of this very reason. Although Apple does have a "for the kids" tattletale system that monitors your photos. This routinely reports false positives with little to no repercussions for Apple or the law enforcement who wrongfully investigated and subjected innocent people to duress.

Anyone who falls for this "for the kids" nonsense does not know anything about history and the zealots that are totally fine with destroying lives. Everyone needs to be familiar with the McMartin preschool trials. 6 years of doggedly pursuing people upending and destroying lives in which they considered it a good faith effort. Of course that was lies it's a good faith just like the Spanish Inquisition was done in good faith. 6 years and 15 million spent countless destroyed lives and reputations all charges were dropped. Of course not a single prosecutor was held to account for their misdeeds and their blind zealotry, no expert was held to account for completely utterly failing at their job of being an expert. No one was held to account for misleading the children to make erroneous claims and lead them into making false testimony. People should have ended up in jail for this and it should have started with the prosecutors first going to jail.
