(Copy-pasting here my post comment)

As a member of the Open edX technical oversight committee, and a long time core contributor, I’d like to comment on the future of Open edX — the open source project. I’m not an employee of Axim or 2U though, so I can’t say anything about their plans.

As OP explained, Axim is the only “cash-rich entity” to have emerged after the edX acquisition. They retained control of the open source Open edX project, and are now in charge of its maintenance and improvement. That is with the support of many open source contributors, of course.

For those who don’t know, Open edX is the piece of software on which runs edX.org, but also MITx and many other open online learning platforms around the world. It’s a big software project that has managed to carve a niche in a complex ecosystem.

The analysis that Axim is mostly a grant-giving organisation is very far from the reality. Yes, Axim is allocating part of its endowment to grants, though I don’t have much insight into this aspect of their mission. What I do know, is that Axim is also investing a very substantial amount of time and money in the development of the open source project, and that is no trivial feat. You can make your own opinion by checking the project activity on GitHub and the Open edX forum.

To put things simply, the open source project is undergoing an important transition where we have fewer dedicated engineers (because of the layoffs at 2U) but much better project management and focus (because the project roadmap is no longer dictated by edX). There’s also a lot of internal debate of where the project should be headed, strategically speaking (I have my own opinion, which you can find elsewhere). None of this would be possible without Axim and its financial independence.

This transition is long and complicated, and it’s not one we can accelerate just by throwing money at it. Also, I like to think of education as a complex ecosystem that improves in incremental steps. AI and personalised learning might play a role in that process, but they are most certainly not a panacea. It would be meaningless to invest these $735 million in such a narrow scope. Instead, it makes much more sense to to build a stable foundation for the future of open online learning.

In a nutshell: don’t give up on Open edX just yet, the best things are yet to come :)
> social media is not unbiased ...

Media, generally, social or otherwise, is not unbiased. All media has bias. The human act of editing, selecting stories, framing those stories, authoring or retelling them... it's all biased.

I wish we would stop seeking unbiased media as some sort of ideal, and instead seek open biases -- tell me enough about yourself and where your biases lie, so I can make informed decisions.

This reasoning is not far off from the court's thinking: editing is speech. A for you page is edited, and is TikTok's own speech.

That said, I do agree with your meta point. Social media (hn not excluded) is a generally unpleasant place to be.
I use a bot for booking overnight huts on the more popular hiking trails in my country. They become available for booking online at a fixed time each year and are all taken a few seconds later. Using a bot is the only reliable way to get one.

Amusingly there are news articles every year about whether or not people are using bots to book these huts and the operators always deny it vehemently. Whereas I know my bot is up against loads of other bots.
Kinda, but I worry that actually overstates how practical/tractable the situation is. (As opposed to being just a very accessible form of endless statistical whack-a-mole.)

SDL1 had no high-level graphics system - you either got a raw framebuffer, or an OpenGL context.
> you chose not to answer my question

Your question was:

> Which "interests" were you referring to, other than the interest of discouraging nuclear power development in the West?

There is no “other than”. Discouraging nuclear power development in the West (by which in this context, I am reiterating because it was insufficiently clear earlier, I mean the countries aligned with the US and against the USSR during the Cold War) was the Soviet interest that would have been served by Soviet attempts to interfere in the domestic politics of Western countries (by which I mean “First World”, US-aligned countries, just so we are crystal clear on that point).

And I expanded on that point, actually:

> It should be obvious that it would have served the interests of the Soviet Union if their geopolitical adversaries had less abundant energy and less practical expertise in nuclear technology.

Why would you expect some other Soviet interest to be served? Perhaps you were confused by my use of the superficially plural term “interests”? In that case, please forgive the imprecision of my language. As I’ve explained, the Soviet interest in curbing the use of nuclear power in Western countries (by which, let me remind you, I mean countries that were Soviet adversaries) was multifaceted, but in common usage, when someone speaks of a country’s or a party’s “interests”, they are not necessarily thinking of some countable number of distinct points of interest.
I guess it's true. Except you cannot contribute code under AGPL, so it's only open source in name, there is no room for a community to form around the software, Elastic co remains in sole control
But what are the implications?

No more moderation? This seems bad.

No more recommendation/personalization? This could go either way, I'm also willing to see where this one goes.

No more public comment sections? Arstechnica claimed back in the day when section 230 was under fire last time that this would be the result if it was ever taken away. This seems bad.

I'm not sure what will happen, I see 2 possible outcomes that are bad and one that is maybe good. At first glance this seems like bad odds.

Actually there's a fourth possibility, and that's holding Google responsible for whatever links they find for you. This is the nuclear option. If this happens, the internet will have to shut all of its American offices to get around this law.
No, that is not the entire point of DoH. That’s like saying the entire point of TLS is to prevent users from looking at the traffic being sent to a website.

DNS without DoH, DoT, or DoQ, is wide open to anyone snooping traffic in the raw, that’s not necessarily information you want to share with the world.
Do they even need to “attract business” there? Seems to me that as a developed country they have plenty of business of their own. And there are subsidiaries of western companies there. Yahoo is pretty big, and Google has a large office in Roppongi Hills.
A lot of the recent “cheapness” of Japan is due to the drastic drop in value of the yen. Two years ago these workers would cost like 50% more.

Japan also has better worker protections, so hiring and firing is more difficult I imagine than India. One way I’ve heard American firms fire is to force employees to relocate to another Asia office with more lax protections. The employee gets relocation costs covered but if they get fired within a year they have to pay those expenses back. The employee knows they’re just going to get fired so they quit.

On top of that, English is probably not as good. It’s taught in schools but you don’t need it for most jobs.
Really enjoyed this article, even though I’ve only ever explored the basics of Julia.

No. You can still request and obtain the information. It's now a crime to use it unlawfully or to lie in order to obtain it, and California additionally added the feature that the requested party will be notified of the request, it doesn't really afford you any "immediate" protections.

I'm not an "account". I'm a person. I have a name. I'm not a fake either. My work has been featured here on HN. I post what I think, not some prepared discourse.

I assume you can cite the exact laws which refute every single one of the points raised in the comments I cited?

We're not even gonna get into the censorship stuff this time around. We'll limit our focus to the very specific irregularities of the supreme court which are well outlined in the aforementioned comments. You don't even have to refute both comments, the first one is enough:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39966382

Take the sentences starting with a dash and cite the laws which refute those claims, one by one. Cite the laws that say these judges can do everything that was outlined in that comment. Link me to the law that supposedly allows supreme court judges to investigate, prosecute, judge, sentence and punish others for crimes against themselves. Take your time. I will be checking my threads for replies.

If you refute those points, I will change my world view accordingly, and I will never cite those comments ever again. I will even thank you for making me smarter than I was yesterday.

If you can't, then at least have enough decency to stop commenting this "brazilian laws allow..." nonsense like clockwork. Simply because brazilian law clearly does not allow judges to do what these judges are doing. Also, at this point brazilian law is irrelevant anyway since whatever these judges decide is the real law. I mean, our representatives rejected the proposed "fake news" law, and the judges proceeded as if the law was in effect anyway.
As someone who is mostly house- and sometimes bed-bound, what do you suggest people like me do?
Very cool. Have built something like this in the past - let me know if you are hiring.
These people win elections and make news cycles. They are not an “ignorable, small minority”.

For the record, ensuring that those who wish to genocide LGBT+ people are not the majority voice on the internet is absolutely not “a worthless matter”, not by any stretch. I would definitely rather not have to do this, but then, the people who dedicate their lives to trolling and hate are extremely active.
They don't have the same ownership though. Imagine if you own 70% of one company and 40% of another, and then the company you own 40% of is de-banked in a country because the company you own 70% of chose to stop doing business in that country. It's corruption at an unprecedented scale.

Today I learned!
Modern web would best be described as a fustercluck. Web tech still hasn't caught up to most of the lessons learned in the 70s 80s and 90s. Watching web GUI technologies evolve over the past 20 years was like watching bad 70s reruns, with all the cringe and facepalm.

We have enough to make a discipline out of the field, but every 20 years or so the next generation of fresh recruits brings all their bad habits in with them and then round and round we go again with the new (and horribly broken) technologies that didn't learn from the last time we did the same things and made the same mistakes in a similar way.

You absolutely can control how much state you need (down to a minima, of course). The issue is not with the minimum state necessary - it's with the cowboy mentalities that lead to excessive state (and even worse - excessively complicated state interactions).

At the very least it sounds like you can get the password of many users (MD5 isn't exactly secure) and if they're sharing passwords then that's bad for them. You can also gain admin access and mess around with the site practically undetected for an indefinite amount of time.
Looks like Elastic is bowing to OpenSearch threat. This is great news to have more Open Source choices, yet I think for those who care about Open Source the trust have been broken and there is little assurance there will not be a license change one again, serving needs of the moment
Would bluesky not solve this issue?

The underlying hosted service is nearly completely unmoderated and unpersonalised. It's just streams of bits and data routing. You can scan for/limit the propagation of CSAM or DMCA content to some degree as an infrastructure provider but that's really about it and even then you can only really do so to fairly limited degrees and that doesn't stop other providers (or self hosted participants) from propagating that anyways.

Then you provide custom feed algorithms, labelling services, moderation services, etc on top of that but none of them change or control the underlying data streams. They just annotate on top or provide options to the client.

Then the user's client is the one that directly consumes all these different services on top of the base service to produce the end result.

It's a true, unbiased section 230 compatible protocol (under even the strictest interpretation) that the user then can optionally combine with any number of secondary services and addons that they use to craft their personalised social media experience.
Personally I don't think this was handled very responsibly.

As they note, it's been hinted at for a long time now. Now that they finally announce official deprecation, it's immediate. It would have been much preferred to announce the official date _in advance_. So a point in 3/6/9/12 months time.

libolm is still heavily utilized in the wider Matrix ecosystem and a less violent push off it would have been kinder.
The only way an infinite canvas makes sense is if the diagram guides the user. You can’t rely on simply going to the next page anymore, so it does take some extra effort to get it right.
Real reason: the dev would fix it and they'd be stuffed. That doesn't encourage the DHS to actually look into the issue and see what else is broken.

DoH and similar technologies don't override /etc/hosts. They're just a different way of making DNS queries. The entire point of these technologies is to prevent your ISP and everyone else along the way from knowing which websites you visit.

In this particular case it was worthless. If you have known vulnerabilities and you deprioritize that work to waste time on soc2, and get hacked because of it… soc2 was worthless. Because the whole point is security assurance. When you get hacked you’ve proved the opposite of security assurance.

But also you gotta have the balls to stand up to the guy pushing soc2 and say. No. There are known vulnerabilities. We are patching those first then we are doing soc2. The way I frame it is “we know we have critical vulnerabilities, we don’t need to go hunting for more till we fix them. Once we fix them we go looking for other ways to improve security posture”
And if the ceo still insists (big client requires it so we’re doing soc2 simultaneously) you say fine, then hire a security consultant so we can go twice as fast. And if he refuses you quit because fuck that place.

This is true, but neither can Brazil utilise their entire economy against him. Musk could definitely get a few billion out if he really tried (he got a $6b loan backed by Tesla stock and $20 billion in cash to buy Twitter), and the equivalent of that amount back in the day would have been enough to finance a military expedition - the Boer War was at the modern day cost of 25 billion pounds.

There is no "mysterious, emergently random force that determines what path a given quantum system will take." This is complete BS. Sorry to pull an argument from authority, but I am a trained physicist. This is a persistent misunderstanding of entanglement and so-called "collapse" of the wave function, dating back to a popular science misunderstanding of an incomplete and since discredited interpretation of quantum mechanics by Niels Bohr over a century ago.

There is no guiding hand, metaphorical or literal, choosing how a quantum system evolves. You can posit one, if it makes your metaphysics more agreeable, but it is a strictly added assumption, like any other attempt to insert god into physics.
Usually I can grok the significance of almost any item on HN that catches my eye, but here I'm at a loss. Can someone explain why this matters?

As far as I can tell, someone has figured out how to send Ethernet packets at a relatively high rate using hardware with very limited CPU. Cool, but what can you _do with that_? If the RPi Pico has the juice to run interesting network _application-level traffic_ at line rate it's more intriguing, but I doubt that anyone's going to claim that can serve web traffic at line rate on this device, for example.

What am I missing?
