> unless ur claim is that many people in positions like him do what he does which is in turn caused by invariant factors?

I don't know about invariants, but there is absolutely a trend of for-profit companies setting up a business around open source and only later trying to close the doors to lock out the competitors that the Free Software system is explicitly designed to encourage.

> this global issue of companies building businesses off foss and not giving back.

I'll never understand this complaint about not giving back. I can understand if they're asking for free support and coercing you into saying yes, but that's rarely the concern, the concern is always "giving back".

If you release it under GPL, then companies are obliged to abide by the GPL and release their modifications, nothing more or less. If you release it under a less restrictive license then they have no obligations at all, and you presumably chose that license specifically because it made the software easier to use in enterprises.

If giving back matters so very much then you're not really interested in Free Software and you should put those requirements in the license. But you don't get to piggyback on the FOSS movement and then complain when people use your software freely to compete with your for profit.
Would this work with Jira, Servicenow, Spiceworks etc...? :x hehe
OpenBSD works on Apple silicon, has done for the last few releases.
Yeah it took me until B2 or so before I could get any Germans to really engage with me in German. My son grew up there and his German was quite good while we lived there, and even when I reached C1 he was perpetually ashamed of my accent and all of my grammatical errors. Of course, now that it's been some time since we've lived there my German has only gotten worse and he suffers even more when I try to practice
And looking ahead, Deep Blue Aerospace does aerobatic chase drones.[1] Perhaps if someone in that space offered their services to SpaceX?

For Starship on orbit... photo/inspection cubesats are hard, but perhaps an externally-mounted 360 wifi camera ejector pack?

> How are you gonna check the organs?

You don’t check the organs. You check the process by intermingling known HIV+ samples and check if they are being detected.

> Checking means re-testing, so might as well get rid of outsourcing.

Thing is you need to do QA on the testing system no matter what. Doesn’t matter if it is performed by contractors, in house staff or little grey aliens. If you are not doing QA you won’t know if the testing is done correctly or not.
honestly the "start your own business" trope is irresponsibly bad advice:

- people seeking jobs often dont have disposable income especially those fresh out of school or minimal YOE

- tremendous time and energy for a low probability outcome

- many do not have the aptitude for running a business which require a high degree of planning and execution, soft skills

I know this is a startup focused website so its natural to suggest go out and build an app or raise money but the selection/survival bias is often not considered.

The vast majority of people will either need to switch careers or industries altogether. The fact is LLM code generation has eaten those junior/intermediate roles and soon the same will happen to senior developers as well.

What we are seeing is the same thing blue collar jobs experienced in the 90s where their jobs were outsourced/automated to labour markets in authoritarian countries except this time its outsourcing to a small group of corporations.
I appreciate your comment.

I suppose my comment is reserved more for the documentation than the actual models in the wild?

I do worry that LLM service providers won't do any better than rest API providers in versioning their backend. Even if we specify the model in the call to the API, it feels like it will silently be upgraded behind the scenes. There are so many parameters that could be adjusted to "improve" the experience for users even if the weights don't change.

I prefer to use open weight models when possible. But so many agentic frameworks, like this one (to be fair, I would not expect OpenAI to offer a framework that work local first), treat the local LLM experience as second class, at best.
It still uses trademarks from ACF, those are obviously not "open source", which also has been Matt's & wordpress.org's stance since forever: the _code_ is GPL, but the assets are not.

If you "fork" the assets, you're not covered by GPL.

Obviously it's nonsense to discriminate between the free version of a freemium plugin and a commercial plugin and this is simply a stupid way to lash out.
It's a regular veganza in here. (I'm sorry)
In the news they use "known past tense", like "gel-di". The article above mentiones "learned past tense", like "gel-miş".
Instead of making it an additional Ctrl key, you can also make it a new separate modifier key with XKB[1]. I've found this very useful over the years for WM-related key bindings, leaving the other modifiers for applications.

Tangentially, I really loathe how Wayland has no alternative to this. I'm expected to configure keyboard layouts in every DE or WM I use, which is a much worse UX.

I've discovered so much content on YouTube that I would never have found if it was on someone's blog.

And on top of that I also find YT content through social media, blogs, forums, etc..

So I hear you, but I guess based on my own experience, I disagree! But that's cool, we can do that. :-)
Cars also have a huge subsidy in the form of roads
Don’t forget too that the cost of proving roads is also ‘subsidised’ in most countries, but we’re tend to be a bit blind to that.

(This is not an argument against rail - I just find that subsidies are often mentioned with respect to rail but not with roads).
Yes, lets subsidize the aviation and car industry more instead!!

Face it, trains is the better option here.

Bike and walk is best of course but troublesome long distance.
Sure, that’s why I am not naming a competitor. Security leadership is the biggest wildcard. I always want to do the right thing. Not everyone does.
I tend to agree that change is possible and you can learn to steer, but that too is no choice.
I don't know how much goodwill we owe somebody currently being sued for extortion and who lied to a community about ownership of a trademark for over a decade in an attempt to take a whole community hostage when he feels like it's time to cash in. The writing was on the wall when he sold user intellectual property from WordPress.com and Tumblr to OpenAi. Was that fighting for open source?
I have heard so much about how electric cars are close to zero maintenance. I suspect they want to ride that wave as long as possible to further that perception.
Ah, so it has TeX/Metafont origins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Modern
I'm too out of practice to really engage at this level. But actually, I meant I would like to learn the Ottoman Turkish of government and literature. I obviously can't go back in time and converse with the Anatolian turks and if I could, I might prefer to also have some Greek and Armenian in my toolbox...
Most cross-platform applications for desktops and servers. If you write to the POSIX standard, it will work on a wide range of systems. Many applications don't need to go beyond that.
Wow, it’s got this bad? Seems like a race to the bottom at this point, without training youngsters how are new generations supposed to get into the industry?
We know MacOS is Unix. We know Linux server runs most of the internet. We know Android is Linux. Thanks for your input.

We were obviously talking about the classic Linux Desktop distros, and based on the whole conversation you should know that. If ChromeOS and Android were categorized as Linux distros, then nobody would hate/love Linux Desktop per se.
I run a startup, we're moving fast and growing fast. If you aren't already one of the best in the world, we don't have time to train you up or guide you.

We are all swamped with work, and the team moves together well because we can all depend on our teammates to get things done at a world class level.

No space or time for juniors. Stakes are too high.
Not true at all! You can absolutely get pregnant with HIV, and there are a number of steps you can take to prevent transmission to an unborn child.

Similarly, if you take antivirals to get your viral load down to undetectable levels, the risk of sexual transmission is very, very low. The risk is even lower if your partner takes PrEP as well.

You certainly need to take precautions, but people with HIV can live full, normal lives.
Yeah this is misleadingly worded as if this is something new for Apple. They've been officially certified as Unix for 16 years now.
Also, maybe it defaults to off if you reside in USA and live in one of these states:

> Stenzek changed the license because he had a meltdown last month when PCSX2 changed it's license from the LGPL to the GPL (which is allowed by the LGPL; there's nothing dubious about making this change)[1] for... some reason. In response, he threw a tantrum and closed all his open PCSX2 PRs, effectively quitting the project[2][3][4].

Pretty sure it's because he would be "forced" to open-source Aethersx2 (which is an android port of pcsx2).
We need a new approach to randomly controlled trials.

I propose a new approach: Rather than given treatment vs not given treatment, we instead vary the dose slightly, and we include the whole world in the trial.

Ie. instead of taking 100mg of Advil, instead you will receive somewhere between 95mg and 105mg of Advil. You won't be told how much you got - but the barcode on the box will encode that info. That already might be the case due to allowed inaccuracies, but now we're gonna measure and record it.

Later, the data of which box was dispensed is combined with any other relevant medical records, and across the hundreds of millions of people involved, any benefit/disadvantage of a small increase or decrease in dose will become apparent.
Yes, the Gmail web client does this. However my (personal) problem comes more from reading the emacs-devel archives, where the thread view takes the shape of something more like a tree (maybe I'm not configuring something correctly). I was subscribed to emacs-devel at some point (which made reading easier) but it started filling up my account storage so I un-subscribed.
It used to be a casino. Now it's a matter of monetary policy transmission and a national security issue. They fully and shamelessly embraced the wealth effect as the driving force of the economy. Market always has to go up or else bad things are going to happen.
'notebook computer' is so ambiguous as to be useless.

go find one of those 'notebook computer's that the dev team uses (probably a few-generations-old thinkpad or dell) and go see what the experience is like if you're unwilling or unable to put the work into getting your machine to run as you wish.

furthermore this isn't a solved issue for ANY OS on the fringe of the computer market. Go install the newest version of Windows on a Chuwi machine and see how many drivers are MIA and functionalities lost. Install Linux on an obscure VAIO or Toughbook and see what happens.

Regardless of the promises and hoped-for-wishes, EVERY os is hardware-centric, and they all have different orbits.

The BSDs just tend to make choices that give them one of the widest arrangement of choices in the 'will-it-run-on-this' category.

Well the term used to be "Custom of the Sea".

Traditionally, they knew what it was about when they drew straws. The case that often leads folks to learn about it, ironically was one where the rules weren't followed, and rather than drawing straws they decided to finish off someone in a (semi?)comatose state. [0]

You can exchange your existing crypto for another crypto in numerous ways and there use to be localbitcoins.com where you could buy crypto with cash and vice versa p2p in person.
Small benefit with externalized costs, I think.

There are benefits to in office work. I don’t consider them valuable enough to offset the cost of 10hrs of uncompensated time every week or doubling my mortgage cost. I hope tax codes will incentivize allowing remote work options given the reduced burden to transportation infrastructure.
The size "excuse" is often brought up, I don't think that's valid though, e.g. Sweden with a significantly lower density has much better public transport. Or if we talk absolute size I think even Russia has a better rail transport system than the US for example. Like usual I think it can largely be attributed politics and to the strength of the car lobby in the US (as well as a weird desire to "stick it to poor people"), which caused a complete focus on individual travel.

Abandon WordPress now. Fork it or switch technologies.
Being certified Unix has nothing to do with being based on Unix code either anymore, Huawei paid for their Linux distro based on RHEL (EulerOS) to be certified Unix once.
Yeah, cool, I understand, it is how it is done. I am not arguing that, and I already conceded that.

Why are you bringing the same argument back up again?

Have you considered that people who travel through your country will not install another app on their phone? I do not need another quarter of a gigabyte app to pay for something that could've been paid for via VISA or Mastercard. Oh wait, I did install the app. And it asked me to use a paypal account. I do not carry my papyal credentials with me.

I have never gotten on long distance trains and expected to pay on them, not what I am arguing about.

And when I mean that the app was not an option, I mean that in our case, we couldn't use the app to submit a return. I was not the one submitting those forms, I was too lazy. The people who did told me the app did not work for their case. Given that you've told me 2x that "you can just do it in the app", what else can I say besides the fact that when tried, it did not work? Are you dismissing the lived experience of the person you are talking to? Why?

All of that notwithstanding, why not decrease the friction from needing to use an app (phone needs to be supported, charged and have an internet connection) and instead use contactless payment terminals?
Ask what "hint of human decency" the Japanese had to attack a neutral country.

Not only — when I visit friends in the UK, I've had single rail tickets cost more than the increased next years' cost of a monthly nationwide ticket here in Germany.

The DB navigator app is actually decent. The one downside is it kicks you out to a website to book many international tickets, but you can still plan and track your journey delays etc. in the app.
Meanwhile, in reality, there's an article on HN right now that appears practically side by side with this one from Goldman saying batteries are going to be 50% cheaper by 2026.

The most likely scenario in 10-15 years is that the batteries have degraded some low double digit percentsge, which matches most real world data that I've seen, but will otherwise still be as viable as any other vehicle. And if battery prices do drop as is being predicted replacing them with something similar should not be prohibitively expensive (and possibly will mean extended range as well).
This is a real risk I see overlooked and minimized often. People should not assume it can't happen to them.

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.03136

Code (broken link): https://github.com/ETH-PBL/Nano-C-SLAM

ETH-PBL's page (https://github.com/ETH-PBL/) Does not have a project with similar naming though there is NanoSLAM and Nano_Swarm_Mapping. The former is associated with the paper "NanoSLAM: Enabling Fully Onboard SLAM for Tiny Robots" and the latter with "Fully Onboard SLAM for Distributed Mapping With a Swarm of Nano-Drones"

My guess is that they haven't gotten it through review yet and that's why. Could be for many reasons, I'm not a domain expert here so I'll reserve judgement, but review can be noisy. Still, release the code...

You can get rid of the cleaning staff right now. The terminals will become disgusting and people will stop using them. There is no way around this type of overhead. If you have larger numbers of people passing through, you need cleaning and maintenance.

Your original point isn’t even true - in California there is constant maintenance of the road network and crews of community service workers doing their sentence cleaning trash on the highway shoulder.

> There are credible reasons to believe that anything will happen eventually.

Yes. To paraphrase something I read once (I think it was from Eric Drexler):

Any technology that isn't physically impossible, will be realized one day. The question is always "when" not "if".

Now of course one might counter that there isn't much value in that knowledge when you can't say anything meaningful about that eventual time-frame. But I personally think it's worth considering that binary distinction between "absolutely will not happen, ever, period" and "will almost certainly happen eventually."

> You could say that faster than light travel,

I generally agree with your overall sentiment, but I might quibble on this specific example a bit. Yes, we've "made progress" at traveling faster and faster, but I would argue that that doesn't count as "progress" towards FTL travel, because we have a specific, generally accepted, theoretical reason why FTL travel is actually physically impossible. Of course some hypothetical new finding could overturn Einstein's work, but that seems unlikely. In this context, I'd treat FTL as "impossible" and something like AGI as "will happen, we just don't know when."
Intel continues to toss a stick in their own front wheel and blame whatever.
