For QNX 8.0, here’s a saved-you-five-minutes direct link to the developer terms associated with noncommercial use:

https://support7.qnx.com/download/download/51624/BB_QNX_Deve...

(I am not your lawyer, this is not legal advice. This is not a comprehensive review, assessment, or summary of possible interpretations of that license. Seek professional counsel from a lawyer before acting on anything stated below.)

These terms open with a ‘user did not have an opportunity to review and agree before binding themselves, their business, and/or their institution’ clause that may well wholly invalidate the entire document in the US, so please review these with your lawyer before use, so that your usage is not put at risk due to legalese overreach.

Academics, only students and faculty of your institution qualify, and your usage under this license will be viewed by your legal team as you signing a binding agreement on behalf of your employer; make sure you’re not exposed to liability through open source contributors or at risk of being fired for misrepresenting yourself as a signing authority for your institution.

Cloud users, your license is restricted to AWS per their terms; use on GCP, Heroku, or any other server instance not under your personal contractual control may result in owing licensing fees.

Only OSI definitions of “Open Source” are permissible here; this disqualifies anyone licensing software under a restrictive non-commercial license from making use of the QNX non-commercial license, as per OSI, all such restrictions are not “open source”.

Social apps are excluded by the “high risk” clause, which prohibits any use under these terms to develop applications that could harm society. Take care not to create viral applications that violate this clause.

They collect and retain all serial numbers identifiable on all hardware you use in association with this product.

Your noncommercial license may be severed unconditionally at any time without recourse, regardless of whether you have faithfully complied with the terms; at which time you may be compelled under contract to provide an undefined ‘certification’ of indeterminate cost that you deleted all QNX code provided to you.

Stay safe, folks.
Thanks! I'll experiment with a denser layout. I do think there's too much whitespace, but people usually prefer that.
Sharing mostly as a "devil's advocate" post. I fully support WFH (I've been doing it for 10+ years), but curious to see discussion around this article and the effects it has on junior engineers, and -- more importantly -- maybe some solutions folks have seen work to overcome this for junior devs.
Thanks! We've changed the link above to that. Submitted URL was https://www.ri.cmu.edu/ai-meets-fusion-cmu-princeton-join-fo....
You do want people to understand you more because then it's expected that you understand them, that's how we humanize each other and figure out the true issues and solve problems, when we humanize we'll find out we are all just people trying to survive this crazy world and want the best for the people we care about

It's absolutely a product of nature, bullying is nature especially for boys and young men, this is how men compete and organize themselves socially so it will never go away, you can't program this nature out of boys, woman can be just as brutal (slut shaming, etc.) and it's all to put ours selves in a hierarchy, there's always going to be a hierarchy for resources and sex, some people are assholes and will put people down to elevate themselves, and unfortunately the different and mentally weak are the first easy targets for the group, so since it's just nature, it's not personal even though it feels that way and so then you're the one that makes it personal

Go study chimp societies, some of the more brutal things they do, humans still do

This was part of the point I was trying to make, you have to treat people how you want to be treated, if your perception is that all this is just bigotry then your going to get the same response reflected back, people don't like being accused of bigotry without people knowing them, that's bigotry all by itself and people are going to get defensive

Part of the point I was trying to make is that your idea of half way and centrist is actually not for most people you would call a bigot, all the things I mentioned in my previous post are all the barriers of entry for normal/good people to have a dialogue. It's the LGBT community that's made itself unapproachable via their actions and words and it has less to do with sexual preferences

I think the response to Dave Chappelle was a big one for most people, the negative response to him was totally unjustified

The question to the LGBT community is how willing are you to meet in the middle, I think most normal people would agree with:
* Make it illegal for any person under 18 to have any permanent medical procedure or treatment for gender care
* Limit abortions to the 1st or 2nd trimester unless medically necessary
* Agreement grooming or indoctrinating children isn't ok
* Agreement pedophilia isn't ok
* No men in women sports
* Recognition that there's groups in LGBT community that need extra support from society
* Recognition that teenagers need to feel safe to explore their sexual identity
* Focus on family values and children having two parents regardless of gender

These are reasonable compromises for most people, if your community won't self police bad behavior or meet people in the middle, then you'll never have accountability or be trusted in society
Try a rules-based synthesis problem. Prolog style (put simplisticly) is to write down what is true about a solution, and turn the search engine loose. Prolog is still procedural, unfortunately, so practical Prolog requires understanding the search algorithm. A suggestion: produce the XY locations of the nails for a building-code-compliant nailing pattern for a panel of plywood roof sheathing. Allow different stud spacing and wind speed zones. This is a small toy problem but will channel your thought process toward something Prologgy.

Ya you still have to know how traceroute/networks work.
The brain has specific face-recognition machinery that mostly only works with face-up faces. It can be easier to objectively decide whether two photographs are of the same person if they are presented upside-down or sideways.
And it breaks every time a variable gets a `:` inside of it and now you are producing invalid yaml everywhere you forgot to call `| toYaml`.
>> MySQL is equally easy to get running, and has FAR less maintenance overhead

None of these ring true for me.

>> It also scales better on its own, due to a threaded connection model vs. Postgres’ process model.

My understanding is that Postgres has an excellent SMP design that gives almost linear vertical scale. Couldn't quickly find good backup docs.

>> FAR less maintenance overhead

What do you mean by "maintenance overhead"? I don't find Postgres needs much maintenance let along FAR less.
I've seen this in remote areas in the US too. There's a broadband ISP, but they only connect to one house for some reason, even though others would be willing to pay. So "neighbors" (separated by a thousand feet) share ethernet and wifi.
Thanks for your reply.

On a similar note; a family member was being exposed to intense and violent content over Facebook. There was no block, ignore, or report feature on the content exposed. The only option we could find, after researching it; was a “show less of this content” setting buried deep in the Facebook web app (not even available on the standalone app).

Honestly; if the account owner has little option to manage the content they are exposed to.. ugh!

Yes! Came across it while developing this. I loved it. There's also this one for reddit: https://unim.press/
There is a hoard of people who "work in tech" that don't work in tech.

These are people who are missing valuable business insights or who are working on novel solutions and include many developers. Those are the ones who will struggle with relevance going forward.

Equally, large corporations are at significant risk if the productivity of a single person increases further. If you look at the game industry, indie games are running circles around the AAA games, but this is limited to exceptional individuals or teams. Make more people individually exceptional and it's going to be real hard for big companies to eat.
If cost is a factor, one could plausibly put bunny behind cloudflare’s free side.

Another positive side effect would be to have paid dual redundancy then too.

Backblaze is another neighbour that plays nice with bunny.

My prior passport photo was taken with the Irish Passport office's manual "send in photos and someone decides if it's good enough" process they had at the time. As I always wore glasses, I wore them in my photo too, which given they didn't obscure the face, the manual check indicated they were fine.

For my latest renewal, they've moved to an app based process which just flat out rejects any with my glasses on because the prescription is so strong it distorts the outline of my face (at least that's my best guess, as the app claims compatibility with glasses.

Anyway, since renewing the passport to one without glasses in my passport photo, I've found I much more frequently get rejected at automated passport gates, often needing to take my glasses off so I match the passport photo better.
I don't think starting with celebrities and hoping you instantly become Instagram is the move. Do something different, and better, than Instagram that some group of people will want... privacy isn't it. You prioritize privacy, I'd even say you should, but that should be an added benefit, not your primary sales pitch. As much as I like it, the public at large has collectively responded that they don't care enough. So what novel thing will you have that will draw in the kids and make it cool? And remember that no matter how good of thing you make, there is a large element of luck in becoming an Instagram. The second you describe your product by saying it's like another existing and popular product, you're already at a disadvantage. There is no shortage of instagram clones.
Oh, that's nice. Chrome and Edge both fail for me!
Replying to myself here-

whtsthmttrmn left the following comment, but then deleted it-

"I know this is rude to say, but I feel you weren't too skilled before LLMs became a household term."

This is such a howler that I am going to indirectly reply to them here because this is a position that comes up constantly as some sort of rather strange defensive posture: A Luddist "If you aren't dismissive of them, clearly you must be mediocre. Look at my world-weary cynicism that makes me elite"

I've worked in software development for just shy of three decades. I have been a lead engineer or organization-wide architect for multiple medium to large organizations. I was a "senior engineer" at 23 for an industrial controls company. I have always been the guy when it comes to coding challenges or choices at every single organization I've worked at. I've done embedded development, did interactive web applications before almost anyone, have published papers and magazine articles, and have an extremely rich resume across many languages and platforms, with a long history of wins.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at this stuff. And I find "AI" extremely useful to my life. I have subscriptions across multiple products, and at this moment am building a Jina v3 embedding system for an insurance company.

Sneering and acting dismissive isn't going to make it not the game changer that it is. It's coming and you can't stuff your head into sand. Well...you can, but you're just assuring your upcoming unemployment.

In fact let me turn this completely around and say that only the truly mediocre are riding this Luddism train. In an average day I'm working across a half dozen different programming languages, multiple platforms, many endpoints and toolings, and operations and mathematics that I constantly have to refresh myself on. If I was doing copy/pasta template code all day in a tiny little niche I probably wouldn't find LLMs useful. But I don't, so I do.
A couple of suggestions:

1. Try not to stress too much. The point of review is to improve the quality of the code that lands, and the health of the codebase as a whole, not to grade the author.

2. When you think your work is ready for an initial review, take a short break and then review it line by line yourself, looking for any obvious mistakes or possible simplifications. I recommend doing this in a different editor or view than the one you authored the code in originally.

When reviewing someone else's code, it is annoying if there are silly mistakes that the author could obviously have caught themselves. Issues where the author was not aware of a subtle detail or a coding practice in some other part of the code are less of an issue. Identifying these are exactly what reviews are for.
I made some Lichen dye from local shield lichen last spring. Still have it in a jar and need to test but it is supposed to be a reddish brown.

Also, I processed a bunch of Black Walnuts this month and I hear if you save the water used in the processing it makes a great stain/dye. It seemed to stain the concrete really well on the porch where the squirrels were dropping a lot of the husks too.

I will keep my eye out for the mushrooms needed this fall to do this method too.
People are so against GMOs without realizing how many millions of lives GMO’ed wheat and rice saved in India and elsewhere.

Both (Norman Borlaug and Dr Cash) go to show that modern and traditional medicines can be carefully manipulated in amazing ways to save millions of lives.
A careful, generous reading 'fine people' thing shows that he probably didn't _mean_ to include supremacists in the praise. But those groups heard as compliment and endorsement, and thanked him for it.

One has to think that this palimpsest property of his speech, be it intentional or accidental, is key to his appeal. Every listener to parse the message they want to hear out of his language.
The $3T AI Opportunity Everyone Missed
> I don't understand why you think a celebrity endorsement would matter-- at all.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to go ahead and trust the opinion of the most qualified person to be President of the United States of America — i.e. vice president Kamala Harris — over yours. You are not an expert at campaigning, she is. She ran the best presidential campaign in history. Celebrity endorsements matter.
Just applied, would love this opportunity. Seems like a very cool product.
Unfortunately I don’t think you can trust any particular podcast or news source to be completely perfect. The author did a great job of self investigation which is what we should all do before forming strong opinions about anything.
Regarding the dehydration work see:

> Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration, especially due to diarrhea.[1] It involves drinking water with modest amounts of sugar and salts, specifically sodium and potassium.[1] Oral rehydration therapy can also be given by a nasogastric tube.[1] Therapy can include the use of zinc supplements to reduce the duration of diarrhea in infants and children under the age of 5.[1] Use of oral rehydration therapy has been estimated to decrease the risk of death from diarrhea by up to 93%.[2]

Author here. This analysis explores how programmatic audio/video advertising could drive unprecedented GPU demand. Key technical points:

* Current compute requirements for video generation: 10x

* Audio personalization: 5x

* Real-time optimization: 3x

* Intent processing: 2x

Happy to discuss technical details, infrastructure scaling challenges, or specific implementation questions.
> none of those jobs are close to my areas of expertise.

Only in the same way that a cook that has spent his career in an Italian restaurant doesn't have expertise in cooking Chinese food. An employer on the hunt isn't going to care about such trivial differences (HR box tickers might, but crypto startups probably don't have that).

Granted, I can understand why you'd be leery about working at such places.

I mean, it seems that they're less incompetent? They manage to win with less money. That sort of suggests that their execution is better. It doesn't matter that they play dirtier, they win, and it's all about winning, not being "right".
Show HN: Skipper – Tab management that works with ADHD brains
I’m Kyle Gao, CTO and cofounder of Skipper. This product emerged from research done at Carnegie Mellon University about focus and browser design. People leave tabs open to serve as reminders or for quick access to things they want to get back to. But as the pile of open tabs grows, the browser becomes incredibly cluttered and tabs are indistinguishable from one another - failing to either remind or provide quick access as intended.

Skipper is a Chrome extension that automatically saves and closes unused open tabs, and then organizes them by topic and time used. We aspire to make manual organization frictionless and easy, and then leverage the user’s personalized organization system to extend it and keep it up to date on an ongoing basis using AI. That way, only the tabs you’re actually using are left open in your browser bar, so they actually are easy to get back to.

We are focused on “the ADHD entrepreneur” - this persona emerged from interviews with our early adopters. Those who are diagnosed with ADHD or who simply struggle with focus tend to appreciate the automatic decluttering the most as it prevents them from rabbit-hole-ing on the wrong thing unintentionally.

I am looking for feedback about whether Skipper fits into your workflow naturally without you having to change your own habits to get value from it. Give it a try and let me know what you think! You can also email me at kyle@skipper.co

That would only work if the car has also not seen any further valid messages since the one that was blocked, so I'm not seeing how this technique could be useful for anything other than preventing someone walking away from their car from successfully locking it and being able to go through the car before replaying the signal and locking it yourself to cover your tracks.

Even then if they're the sort of person who does the double click for horn/flash thing they'll just assume their fob batteries are dying and return to the vehicle until they're close enough to defeat the jammer.

If the rolling code is predictable and the attacker can generate their own valid "next message" that's an entirely different matter, but a pure replay is only useful in very specific situations.
I think Germany and Europe has invested enough into Europeans. I think it would make more sense to mandate all government software to be developed by black and brown indigenous people of colour. Now is the time for Europe to pick up the DEI commitment that the United States has failed to deliver on.

> Is VLC really "complex software"

The moment you criticize an app, someone on the Internet will jump in to tut-tut and insist to you that it's "complex software" and you can't possibly understand how complex it is. Case in point: Just a few years ago the Windows Terminal team chastised[^1] users by claiming that fast font rendering would literally require several PhDs of research and can't be solved otherwise[^0]. At some point we have to realize that claiming something is complex doesn't prove that it's inherently complex nor justify any complexity in how it was built.

Reinventing QNX will always be seen as cutting edge.
Yes, we should, but it's incredibly hard to get people (and employers) to move to some place that isn't established. And usually the locations where there is establishment have a good reason that they were located there and not where you are trying to move it to.
It's a bit harder to make it look like an actual newspaper without manually editing the content.
Once upon a time, the rich and powerful were leading the fights (and forcing peasants to pay taxes). King Arthur never got a sword from a strange woman lying in a pond.

For a more recent example, Prince Andrew and Prince Harry have real military experience. They were not fighting in trenches with bayonets, but they were not in a 100% safe possition.

> The real opportunity isn't in API fees or enterprise AI. It's in something far bigger: AI-generated, personalized audio and video advertising. Think programmatic advertising, but orders of magnitude larger.

That this will happen is one of my biggest fears about genAI, and one of the reasons why I'm hesitant to use it as a consumer. It promises to amplify everything that makes the ad industry so objectionable today.

You don't have to admit anything.

I just find it strange that you hold up Cheney as an icon of evil (which I suppose he is), to such an extent that it was his endorsement of Kamala that persuade you to switch to Trump, as if Trump was some kind of anti-Cheney -- when in fact, at the time, Trump supported the exact same awful, evil stuff that Cheney did.

I understand since Cheney hates Trump he gets a pass.

You misunderstand. Very obviously no one is suggesting that.
