There are already hundreds of OSI licenses for source code.

Just create a couple more for AI, one with training data, one without.

Holy grail thinking, finding "the one and only open" license instead of "an open" license, is in a sense anti-open.
Looks similar to Prisma Client Rust but because Prisma and its file format are already established unlike toasty files, might be easier to use that. However, this is by Tokio and PCR is relatively unknown with development being not too fast, so your mileage may vary. I've been using diesel (with diesel_async) so far.
AI models fall for the same scams that we do
good point. in a sense webassembly is that minimal very performant language. let javascript and typescript compile to webassembly, and you essentially got what is being proposed here
Well, the main difference is that one you just click "yes" and the other you usually need to enter a password.

Then there is also polkit, which does something similar to sudo, but for a different usecase (authenticating unpriviledged process access to a priviledge process). Polkit to my knowledge can differentiate between actions to "always allow", "requires confirmation" (press yes) and "require password".

heh. i've seen this a lot lately.
JavaScript is two languages:

1) JavaScript, the original assembly language of the internet, does not need new language features.

2) JavaScript, the front-end web development language is a fractal of infinitely many sub-languages that transpile back to ES5.

The proposal, as I read it, is: Let's stop adding front-end web features to the assembly language; it doesn't get easier, better or faster if we change the underlying, slowly adopting and hard-to-optimize foundation.

When you want a new language feature, add it to the fractal part that transpiles back to the part well-supported and highly optimized in existing runtimes. The only loss is that you need to transpile, so your build pipeline becomes non-trivial. But it's either "code assembly" or "get a modern build tool".
I have been working on something similar this morning. I want to create a simple blog to document my thoughts without having to deal much about technical stuff and maintenance and spend a few hours diving the rabbit hole of jekyll blogs.

While their documentation(https://jekyllrb.com/docs/) is one of the best resources to learn, I have found my job much more straightforward using one of the pre-built themes that is available on the internet. With deployment to github pages almost instantaneous, I can see myself updating the blog much more often.

The blog which I am currently working on: https://jagadeeshposni.github.io
The theme I have used: minimal mistakes
Because until GOG and Steam, most video games were manufactured and distributed as physical artifacts, such as cartridges.

A ripped ROM image in an emulator is not equivalent to an Atari or Nintendo cartridge.

You might find this hard to believe, but they don’t actually put sawdust in any product labeled “parmigiano reggiano” in Parma.

And it’s not just about that. “Parmesan” in the US doesn’t have to abide by… basically anything. It doesn’t need to be aged. It doesn’t need to be milk of any particular quality. It can include any ingredients. It has no definitional requirements at all, other than needing to plausibly be cheese.
WebAssembly could replace JavaScript, the assembly language, once it has reached feature parity.

But there's still far to go. Large parts of the browser API are still not directly available in WASM.

I very much look forward to WASM reaching stability. It's very enjoyable to run Rust code in the browser.

If you have confirmed cancer you should never wait six months to see an oncologist. If there's a bureaucratic block, your primary care doctor can pick up the phone, call the oncologist, and get you booked within one to two weeks. If you suspected cancer but not confirmed, it's your primary care doctor's job to get the appropriate testing completed within a reasonable timeframe. Not only is it the right thing to do ethically, but they face legal responsibility if they don't get you the medically indicated testing and follow up within a reasonable time frame.

On the other hand waiting six months for something like a knee replacement is not fun, but it's also not detrimental to your health. Would you rather see an orthopedic surgeon in six months and be 99% confident that they have the expertise to replace your knee without botching the job, or would you rather see a surgeon in two weeks and have 90% confidence that they're not going to botch the job?
No. Javascript should be split into 3 languages and html and css should be split into 20 languages.

Seriously frontend is already the most fragmented and fast changing area of web there is. Don’t split the language.

I don't think it's necessarily absurd to expect accuracy from statistical methods - in many domains (including voice transcription) they blow the accuracy of traditional non-statistical approaches out of the water, and in some areas even surpass human-level accuracy.

Main thing is to measure the accuracy of the approach (regardless of whether it's traditional, statistical, or human) to determine if it's fit for purpose. In this case it sounds like the transcription shouldn't be solely relied on for high-risk decisions in its current state, but could be useful for something like searching through the reference audio if it were available.

That the issue tends to be from "pauses, background sounds or music playing" also makes me suspect a lot of the cases could be relatively low hanging fruit - check the noise gate and normalization on the microphones, or potentially have the model output a quality score for each word so that low-confidence background noise can be displayed to the end user as smaller fainter text for instance, instead of part of the conversation.

In order to maintain some semblance of process, Wikipedia has to approximate what is true by relying on the consensus from reputable sources, not reality itself. This means that experts are often not who you want editing an article, because experts are often poorly positioned to know what the general public knows, and what consensus is from outside their area of expertise. E.g., I have published research that contradicts information on Wikipedia, and while I am of course convinced I and my co-authors are right while Wikipedia is wrong, I would much rather have that state of affairs than a world where Wikipedia is written by everyone with a paper on a subject, and the line is drawn at whoever was the most recent editor.
I guess it does help by making the cost of adoption lower.

But my main point is that being an early adopter of a non-mainstream tech is fundamentally unpragmatic and usually people are driven to try something new by desire to try something __cool__ not by pragmatic considerations.

बहुत समय पहले की बात है, एक जंगल में एक गिलहरी और एक कौआ रहते थे। गिलहरी बेहद मेहनती थी और हमेशा ठंड के मौसम के लिए खाने का इंतजाम करती रहती थी। दूसरी ओर, कौआ बहुत आलसी था और सोचता था कि किसी न किसी तरह उसका काम हो ही जाएगा।

एक दिन गिलहरी ने कौए से कहा, "कौआ भाई, ठंड का मौसम आ रहा है। तुम्हें भी कुछ खाने का इंतजाम कर लेना चाहिए।"

कौआ हंसकर बोला, "अरे! चिंता मत कर, मेरे पास ढेर सारे दोस्त हैं, जब जरूरत पड़ेगी, मैं उनसे ले लूंगा।"

गिलहरी ने फिर भी उसे समझाने की कोशिश की, लेकिन कौआ उसकी बातों को अनसुना करता रहा।

समय बीता, ठंड का मौसम आ गया। जंगल में खाने की कमी हो गई, और कौए को अब एहसास हुआ कि उसने गलती की है। उसने अपने दोस्तों से मदद मांगी, पर सभी अपने खाने का इंतजाम कर चुके थे और किसी के पास ज्यादा खाना नहीं था।

थक-हार कर कौआ गिलहरी के पास पहुंचा और मदद की गुहार लगाई। गिलहरी ने कहा, "मैंने तो तुम्हें पहले ही सावधान किया था, फिर भी मैंने थोड़ा अतिरिक्त खाना रखा है, जिसे हम दोनों मिलकर खा सकते हैं।"

कौआ बहुत शर्मिंदा हुआ और उसने वादा किया कि आगे से वो भी मेहनत करेगा और समय पर खाने का इंतजाम करेगा।

कहानी से सीख: हमेशा समय रहते मेहनत करना चाहिए ताकि मुसीबत के समय हमें दूसरों पर निर्भर न रहना पड़े।
It's a good idea, but a better idea would be to make the browser a virtual machine running wasm. HTML, SVG and everything else could be implemented in wasm, and loaded from the cloud as needed.
We've made homemade ice cream dozens of times over 50 years... and the way I think about the delicious result is that it's like... soft serve ice cream. I think I prefer the texture of "scooped hard ice scream" but homemade with just cream, eggs, sugar, and whatever for the flavorings is just an outstanding tasty thing to eat.

I've never tasted industrial soft serve, maybe something else is going on?

Thinking back we always made it with a hand cranked machine[1], cooled by lots of salt on bagged ice cubes, maybe the current generation of electric home machines makes a different texture.

I think I would summarize it somewhat differently, that God is (as a constant state of being) willing to destroy the world with a flood whenever it is as it was in Noah's time (which criteria determine this are not necessarily known to us, except insofar as they were met then and are not met now).

So from our/Noah's perspective, that situation has come and gone, has changed, because we're bound by physics and the passage of time and cannot exist in that circumstance any longer. But from God's perspective, that world is always destroyed by flood. It may be the case that the criteria that categorize a world as "destroyable by flood" never exist in our experience of time again, and it may equally be the case that God knows this will be the case.

But God's willingness to destroy the world by flood under those criteria has not and will never change, because God's will does not change.
What policies are unappealing to you from Harris? What policies do you like from Trump? His tariffs , his plan to create internment camps for undocumented residents? His sycophancy for Putin? His willingness to ramp up offensive capabilities for Israel, or his preference for shutting down Ukraine? Or perhaps you like his "tough on dissidents" policy where he is documented to have wanted to use live rounds from active US military on protesters in DC? Are you one of the millions of people who think that Trump will make egg prices go back down to $2 a dozen? Do you think Trump is going to continue the Democratic legacy of making health care more affordable for citizens?

Fires have their own cadence - they happen when the dead leaves and plants accumulate enough there’s sufficient fuel to maintain a forest fire. When we stop all fires the fuel piles up and the next fire is much worse and harder to stop. Up to a point we simply can’t stop it and it consumes all fuel and the forest starts from scratch.

Feedback Needed: Building an AI Wearable for Solving Everyday Problems
Hi HN! I’m a young founder working on a new wearable device that’s a bit different from the current crop. Think of it as a wearable AI companion that goes beyond single-use cases like memory aids or smart glasses for the visually impaired.

The device itself is simple – a small camera, mic, and speaker that attaches to your shirt and connects to your phone. But the real innovation is in the software: a flexible AI helper that adapts to your specific needs, whether that’s helping a colorblind painter identify colors, a person with ADHD who needs reminders to stay on task, or someone who often misplaces items and needs help tracking them down.

Here’s where it gets exciting: instead of requiring technical skills to set up, the AI "learns" what you need from simple prompts. Imagine telling it, "I always lose my keys – can you help?" and it finds or creates the right helper. It also “borrows” and shares skills as needed, creating a highly personalized, adaptive assistant without complex setup or coding.

I’m curious to know: what small problems or annoyances would you want solved by a device like this? What situations or daily challenges could an AI wearable assistant help with that current devices don’t? Also, if anyone’s interested in collaborating, let’s connect!

Thanks for any input – your ideas could make this a product that truly makes life easier in ways that matter.
Aside from fossil water, all of our fresh water comes from desalinated sea water, transported inland by clouds - which shows that there is no brine problem as long as the brine is dispersed widely enough in the sea. “How widely” is enough is something I wish OP discussed.

All this championing Javascript as a single language for front and back end work, now to be split for different use cases. Hopefully this is how Javascript dies if that is the route Google pushes it.

There is already too much exhaustion around switching frameworks and paradigms in the JS world, but I guess everyone likes getting jerked around by corpos and evangelists these days.
On the other side, as a technical team lead (who is responsible for the final tech decision), it's also tiring to both solve challenges and try to explain + persuade the junior team mates about why i have such decision.

This is mostly a solved problem in regular compilers, and sourcemaps etc do currently exist for JS.

I agree that the tooling/UI around this could be better, but by focusing on this approach, things like Typescript get better as well.

> strongSwan cannot be configured to do unencapsulated ESP anymore -- they removed the option

wait, what? Pretty sure I still used unencapsulated ESP a few months ago… though I wouldn't necessarily notice if it negotiates UDP after some update I guess… starts looking at things

Edit: strongswan 6.0 Beta documentation still lists "<conn>.encap default: no" as config option — this wouldn't make any sense if UDP encapsulation was always on now. Are you sure about this?
So the kernel is enforcing file sharing rules (mandatory locking, in effect) by scanning on open all open file handles for conflicting mandatory locks, but doesn't check for memory mappings of these files with conflicting permissions. Oops. Seems like a straightforward fix though.

It's worth noting that Linux just got rid of its last vestige of mandatory locking. Now you can write a loaded executable without getting EBUSY. Interesting how exactly the same feature on one OS can be a load bearing part of the security infrastructure and on another OS legacy crud to be deleted.
With widespread CGNAT and the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses this will become more and more common each day...
I'm sure people made the same argument when gladiator sports (that were played to the death) were a thing.

Should a sport that demonstrably and predictably leaves so many of its players permanently handicapped so early into their lives solely for our entertainment continue to exist?

> Preferred by anyone who's actually using and modifying the work.

There are lots of things that can be done with the training set that don't involve retraining the entire model from scratch. As a random example, I could perform a statistical analysis over a portion of the training set and find a series of vectors in token-space that could be used to steer the model. Something like this can be done without access to the training data, but does it work better? We don't know because it hasn't been tried yet.

But none of that really matters, because what we're discussing is the philosophy of open source. I think it's a really bad take to say that something is open source because it's in a "preferred" format.
Funny you should say that. I don't find it painful at all, I prefer the explicitness. I just wanted to relay my experience without unnecessarily bundling my opinion, since this is a thread about Odin after all.

Kinda. This would be more like if my mouth were stuffed with anti-tongue-bite technology and I'd trained for years using scientifically proven techniques to avoid biting my tongue, but inevitably I do anyway and then my identity and the identity of all of my friends get stolen.

I love C and actively dislike Rust, but to minimize the effort spent compensating for and consequences of C's shortcomings is very head in the sand.
With the right debugging tools, transpiled alternatives to JavaScript are easier to debug than vanilla ES5.

For example: TypeScript's sourceMap [1], Elm's time-travelling debugger [2], Vue.js DevTools [3], just to name a few I've tried. Especially well-typed languages tend to behave well at run-time once they pass type-checking. Or rather, I have not made enough front-end code to discover transpiler bugs.

To add to this, I would argue that ikigai can be directly translated to purpose in English. Sure purpose has additional meanings, and ikigai has a philosophy behind it which one word like “purpose” does not convey, but if you use purpose in a sentence that has something to do with how you find meaning in life and a reason to go on, then people will correctly understand your meaning.

If purpose is not good enough then try “a reason for being” “a reason to live” etc

Maybe people are confusing describing a whole philosophical concept with translating a word
Your example fails at Galilean relativity: the water you claim is static from your frame on an anchored boat is moving from my frame on an airplane above it — and so isn’t a counter example. We don’t need Lorentz invariance at all. (Though, your example of non-moving water fails Einstein relativity too.)

So you’ve failed to show a difference between spacetime and a fluid.

And to address your point directly:

Gravitational waves leave a wake that perturbs the medium.

We can also coherently talk about a chunk moving, eg subluminal warp drives.

Agriculture uses only a bit over 1% of US primary energy demand. We use more energy cooking food than we do growing it. And that's with the large inefficiency of growing feed crops for livestock.
