> you allow middlemen to strip this right to users of your software.

That's not true.

Somebody can take the source code and build something closed on top of it, but the original code will be already free, and you will always have the right to see it.

For example, PlayStation OS is based on FreeBSD (AFAIK). They took it, adapted it and added a lot of stuff. Did you lose the right to see the source code of FreeBSD ? No. Can you see the source code of PlayStation OS ? No, but you never had that right, so you have not been stripped of anything.
It's "kei" not key:

Kei car is the smallest category of Japanese, expressway-legal motor vehicles. 'Kei' is diminutive for kei-jidōsha, (kanji: 軽自動車), "light automobile" or "compact automobile" (pronounced [keːdʑidoːɕa]).

I don't have much to add here, just wanted to say that I think this is a tremendous gift to the Internet that we loved. It would suffice to say that after many hard reality checks I don't really feel like there are any browser vendors that feel like good stewards of the open web, and it seemed like a new browser that actually managed to break out would be infeasible... until Ladybird showed up. And now, I'm typing this reply in Ladybird.

Of course, it has a long way to go before it is going to be a good daily driver, but I truly believe this is the beginning of something great. I've been consistently surprised by what works, and the rate of improvement is staggering at times.

My question: Has anyone given any thoughts regarding the stance to take with DRM features, e.g. Widevine/Encrypted Media Extensions? It seems like since our previous stewards of the open web didn't care enough, now making a browser with substantial marketshare without this may be hard. Seems like a hard problem, I really do wonder where Ladybird will stand if it continues on its current lightning fast trajectory.
Thank you, Andreas! Keep up the great work!
Penny Arcade[1] had a rant about this very subject this morning:

> The big players in this space all happen believe things about other people's intellectual property that are orthogonal to human flourishing. It appears to be endemic in their spaces. Other times, we don't have to work so hard. For example: Perplexity literally duplicates other people's work on its own site. Then, it will generate a podcast based on the uncredited work. They want the same thing as Google's Gemini, in that you'll come to it for a search experience that's owned end to end - powered by your own uncredited work.

Gen AI models have also been used to appropriate an artist's distinctive art style[2] in a way that pushes up against the edge of copyright. You've all heard about OpenAI and Scarlett Johansson[3]. This kind of stuff makes the industry look shady.

In theory existing copyright law should cover these new AI cases, but if you use something like Figma AI and it "rips off" (as John puts it) an existing app, you might not even realize that you're copying someone else's design because there's no provenance. That makes it harder to follow the law.

personally i like those better than perplexity. so was thinking of buying its premium.

We're all nitpicking no matter what our thoughts are on the design. I have my own thoughts on the design, but I'm more excited about the product than to put any more care in what the website looks like. It's easy enough to ignore and doesn't have an effect on the product.

Introduction: I am a software developer with over 8 years of experience working in the full stack. My expertise is in quickly building both backend and frontend services. I am highly experienced in creating features and services in Java backends through spring and implementing the frontend that uses such features (JS/TS). I am a language agnostic developer and can quickly pickup whatever language is used in the team. For most of my career, I have been working with teams distributed across multiple timezones, and as such I am accustomed to working asynchronously with others.

> “kind, not nice”

Always when joining a team the first thing I tell devs is "I don't care how critical you are, just be honest" I think setting expectations early on is very critical. I think people not feeling attacked / too defensive of code is a good step forward. People who vehemently defend their code are bad developers imho.
used it and its freaking brilliant. please keep improving it. i want to go away from adobe cursed products
I think they are referring to the developer experience of working in the codebase, rather than the quality of the code.
I actually really like the logo. It's a simple, mathematically-defined curve that also resembles an abstract ladybird opening its wings. You don't find that clever?
Just don’t use the eval features, inline scripts and properly sanitise user input (if any) and you will mitigate all these issues
I'm not sure what you're asking about. It is well known that certain computations can be determinstically proven to halt - there's even a prigramming language that only accepts programs that do so, Idris.

Of course, not any computation can be written in such a way. But it's clearly possible to write certain programs in such a way that they must halt by construction. You can even do it in C: don't use goto, only use loops with a known bound (e.g. while (x > 0) is not ok, but for(i = 0; i < 100; i++) is ok, as long as i is not modified in the body), don't use in-line ASM, don't use recursion, don't use stdlib functions (definitely no string functions). These rules can be verified syntactically (+- problems with UB), and the resulting program is guaranteed to halt. But there are problems for which you can't write such a program.

As to the relative size of these sets, I think that's a meaningless question - they are both infinite sets.

Node-Edge Based Graph GUI Editor for LangGraph
I’ve built a node-edge based GUI editor for LangGraph!

LangGraph-GUI provides an intuitive interface for creating and managing workflows, making it easier than ever to visualize and execute tasks. Whether you're dealing with complex workflows or just getting started, this tool simplifies the process.

Check it out on GitHub: [LangGraph-GUI](https://github.com/LangGraph-GUI/LangGraph-GUI)

Key features:
- User-Friendly Interface: Create and edit workflows visually.
- Seamless Integration: Supports local execution with language models like Mistral.
- JSON Support: Easily read and write JSON files for workflows.

Get started with the setup instructions in the repository. There’s also a guide for building the front-end GUI into a standalone executable.

If you’re new to LangGraph, we have a beginner-friendly resource: [LangGraph-learn](https://github.com/LangGraph-GUI/LangGraph-learn)

I’d love to hear your feedback and see how you’re using LangGraph-GUI. Contributions and issues on GitHub are welcome!

Happy graphing!
Thank you! Coming from an OS developer, it's a great honor!
yes. lack of that complicity seemed like “better things” to him, i think.
I built this and never sold out:

Web2 open source tools:
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform (https://qbix.com/ecosystem)

Web3 open source tools:
https://github.com/orgs/Intercoin/repositories (https://intercoin.org/applications)

Anyone is welcome to get involved or sponsor the projects. But frankly my experience with most VCs I have met has been that they try to avoid deep, decentralized open source platforms like this, so they can make quick wins on the latest fad. Mostly individuals here and there get it. But 95% of the time it turns out they have no money or liquidity, and I don’t have time chasing and finding out who does. That’s the nature of these things. It’s a lonely job.

Honestly, even though it’s completely free and open source, and gives people the tools to do what until now they could only do with Big Tech platforms, I expect many people on HN here will ding all of it — because that second project (Intercoin) is about blockchain-based applications.

So you can see the fate of open source free projects by how this post does.

It makes it much easier to build new engines in the future. Even if only a few people are interested in this knowledge, they can make a big impact with the software they write.

Love the project, but that website is pretty cold and soulless (as mentioned by others).

I quickly put together a "cleaner" design for anyone interested, which also uses the original (and objectively better) logo:

I had an interesting thought: if coding AI gets good enough will it eventually be possible to pirate SaaS?

Probably not extremely complex deep SaaS but about 80% of it is just a UI in front of a database and some associated services more or less. A very good coding AI could probably clone the UI and the database at least by setting a bot loose on the system to learn.

Not sure you’d even call it piracy except maybe in spirit. I suppose their ToS could forbid it.

I think that's only true if your CSP has the word 'unsafe' or '*' in it. If it doesn't, it shouldn't allow inline code or things from domains that you didn't whitelist.

And that's not HTMX or CSP's fault.

I’d maybe ask what “a lot” means, because I haven’t worked with too many people who enjoy it. But regardless, when I say a job should be fully remote, I just mean it should be able/permitted to be done 100% remotely. If someone wants to do that job from the office, that’s OK too.
Well maybe they're ok with that? They want browser diversity. Getting Microsoft to use a new engine is better for diversity than if they just used chromium like now.
Assuming you're thinking about applying Noether's theorem, you need your system to have something like a Lagrangian (or be symplectic). From a quick glance it doesn't seem to me that you can write down an action S for the system so it's not clear that you could apply the theorem to get conserved quantities corresponding to the local symmetries of S.
So cryogenic suspension basically.

It's a really hard problem. Current approaches do excessively lethal damage to the human being suspended; the only hope is that future medical technology will be able to repair that, but 'future' still means 'post-singularity' or so.

Admittedly that doesn't feel as far out as it used to. But since I'm not competent to comment on the actual contents of this article, here's a thought instead:

The more advanced our suspension technology gets, the less damage it will do. Simultaneously, the better we will get at repairing such damage. This culminates at a crossover point where reviving someone who has just been suspended becomes feasible.

After that point, you can imagine our repair technology will keep getting better; and older and older patients will be revived and healed. So, you can imagine a chain of revived patients learning to live in whatever completely bonkers future world this is going to be -- because future realities are always bonkers, from the perspective of anyone who didn't live the years leading in to it -- and teaching each other what to do.

There's probably a science fiction story in there somewhere.

I found some time to read the main opinion and Justice Sotomayor’s dissent. I approached them both with a genuinely open mind because I figured that the public discourse lacked nuance.

Well, the opinion is just as awful as everyone has said. For one thing, it is dishonest. The court spends a lot of time distinguishing the different presidential powers and levels of immunity, as if its holding had limitations. It doesn’t. The practical effect of Trump v. U.S. is that it is all but impossible to prosecute even the most heinous abuses of presidential power.

For another thing, the court really couldn’t manage even a semblance of textual or historical support for its decision. Given the court’s recent emphasis on fidelity to those sources, it really is astonishing! (And I say this as someone who is somewhat sympathetic to textualism in principle.)

I think it’s really worthwhile to read at least the syllabus and Sotomayor’s dissent.

Framing this divide as a neurotypical/neurodivergent thing is perhaps a bit narrow.

Consider "The Hollywood Ending" vs "The French Ending". People used to Hollywood, where all the details[0] get wrapped up in a definite ending, often complain about the artier side of french cinema that their films "don't end".

When you're used to it, however, which is a more satisfying experience? A film with a canonical ending, where you're spoon-fed the resolution, or one which sets up a world, and a story, and stops at the crucial moment, so after watching you can go to a café and have a glass or two and argue with your friends about what would have/should have happened next?
(it's possible to come up with alternative narratives for Hollywood fare as well, but too strong a canon pretty much impedes most fanon)

I believe I've even noticed this tendency in the concluding speech in anglophone vs francophone conferences: anglophones tend to summarise the proceedings ("conclusion"), kind of putting a ribbon around all the previous presentations and tying a bow on it, while francophones tend to hilight how to go beyond the proceedings ("future work"), kind of putting up signposts to all the areas that next years' conferences might be exploring.

(tennis/ping-pong, etc. also have a weaving/concluding dichotomy. In competitive games, the goal is to score points, to avoid having a serve returned[1], but in entertainment games, the goal is to keep the rally going; to dance, not duel, with the counterparty)

In academic writing, the footnote provides a way to bridge both worlds: the main body can be a more (or less) taut line from introduction to conclusion, but the footnotes[2] can provide portals to all the side excursions that were cut from the main body in the interest of concluder communication.

My favorite type of discussion! Language choice would seem super important long, long term and could provide long run advantage over other engines. Given the goals and philosophy of Ladybird zig seems like a complementary choice, and headed in the same direction in terms of community and freedom. And Perhaps just a sprinkle of something more verifiable than zig on the edges where correctness and safety are super critical. Have a look into tigerbeatle (https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle/blob/main/docs/TI...) and their philosophy.

I think the point is that htmx is in no way special. It's the same old category of vulnerability. It's why we have execvpe. It's why we have mysql_real_escape_string_no_really_we_mean_it_this_time().

I remember a similar point being made about LLM output. Now, I'm anything but a LLM fanboy, but if you pipe unknown text into a system interface that's squarely on you.
Despite that, I hope you'll consider a "pay what you can" popup when downloading the browser, or a donation button built into the browser settings page along with a one-time reminder, or something like that. I don't think that would be monetizing your users in any negative, extractive sense like ads do, it would still essentially just be a donation, just asked for in a more obvious way and made easy and convenient to do as part of using the app, instead of a vague separate thing that'll take work to find and that won't occur to most people to do. Personally I think charging users for software (as long as it is also FOSS) is totally fine, it's probably the only sustainable model for software that isn't ads or corporate sponsorship, and it actually serves to align the incentives of the software's developers more closely with users, instead of doing anything bad, but I respect that line.

It is. They realized that writing a modern browser (i.e. one that for example uses multiple cores efficiently by doing layout/rendering/etc in parallel) is almost impossible in C++. To the point where creating a whole new language just to solve the problem would be a smaller undertaking. Which says something about the scope of this problem. And I really do think they are right.
But what diving except scuba is relevant when talking about seals? Are they doing apnea diving?
