The license needs work. It claims to be GPL3 but then includes terms which completely violate GPL3, and GPL is not really applicable to hardware in any event.

It's really some form of CC-BY-SA-NC plus some more limits about "safety" which is impossible to define and prove or disprove and none of the creators business.

Basically it's almost untouchable until the terms are actually defined and made sensible.

Even the simple "only for hobby/personal/educational use" is internally inconsistent because education is itself a commercial activity.

Trying to say too much in the license is just wasting an exceptionally cool project. Just make it CC-BY-SA, add the warnings and disclaimers, and leave it at that. Only add the -NC if you want to sell them and be the only one allowed to sell them. If you aren't planning to sell them as an important part of your own livlihood, then don't add -NC, it doesn't make the world a better place.
I mean no, a tuna onigiri is real tuna in fresh rice. Which is not like hitting all your micronutrients but is just relatively healthy. Similarly you can wash that down with unsweetened green tea (so hard to find outside of japan). Snacks that healthy are hard to come by in western convenience stores. You could also of course go for some sort of milkshake abomination and a famichiki and then maybe you're right. But you have decent amounts of choice.
I don't think Russia would have invaded Ukraine if it still had nuclear weapons.
You base your logic on the assumption the Putin will never use the nukes.
Funny because the USA is the _only_ country that used nuke until now.
No, GP was right in the comparison:

If that is a car-sized rock, then the person seems to be much larger than the car. In fact, it seems that if they laid down next to it, they'd be longer than the car-sized rock!

Given a car is probably >2 meters, and < 5 meters, that person must be even larger!

3m is the minimum integer meters to satisfy that.

Unless I'm missing a ninja edit in GP?

NixOS takes a snapshot on every rebuild, which happens pretty much every time you install something or change a configuration setting, meaning that if I screw something up, generally all I have to do is reboot and choose the previous generation.

Of course I could install NixOS inside Proxmox, but part of the appeal of NixOS is that everything in the system is managed by the configuration.

I am skeptical that this can be repeated at all nowadays the way we had it in the 80ies and 90ies (or even earlier, but I'm an 80ies child, haha). At best with some kind of limited hardware or in some narrow area like writing games. Also, surely not with Scratch. Scratch is, what you give a 5 year old to learn some concepts in my opinion. My children were appalled by it when they became 10 cause it's "baby stuff". At least those kids interested in programming.

The thing in the 80ies and early 90ies was, that you could actually, as a kid, compete with something professional and have total control over the outcome, if you had a bit of talent in any area. This was unbelievably motivating.

Where can one person or two people nowadays seriously compete with professionals and have serious control over the outcome? If at all in the area, where you will actually find kids today: Roblox games, Unity games, anything with a finished engine, where they can focus on the content itself because anything else will simply be unrealistically large effort.

Also, limited retro hardware things might work, I do not know. For me, if I was a child again, they would not work because these are things that are too limited - I would always know there are really powerful PCs with all 3d stuff around. As said above, the fantasy of being able to do anything some software company could do was what motivated me in the 80ies/early 90ies, so I'd rather probably teach myself some game engine, too, because that allows me to live the state-of-the-art fantasy. At least I assume that.

Another thing old hardware did, by the way, which modern hardware does not, is that it launched people on a programming learning path immediately, if they desired to successfully use it. You could not use a C64 without learning at least a tiny little bit of basic.
People forget that the jump from "no computer" to "any computer" is so huge as to be unprecedented.

It was very common to find ancient computers just being used for work and word-processing, etc, up to and into the Internet era.

The Internet was what mainly pushed those aside; once that really took off it became a question of "can you connect" and if you couldn't, an upgrade started looking really good.

Another rumour is that a peace deal of some sort deal was available to Ukraine but "the West" advised otherwise.

Who knows what the truth of the matter is, but what can be known is that we don't know, although that requires certain skills and some conscious effort, which seems to be a bit much to ask of people when the war drums are banging (state propaganda, 2nd order citizen propaganda like on HN, etc).

I believe that their intention is to have something that works on any track, without signatures. Collecting signatures would be cool, but a massive work if you want to have good coverage of cities AND phones. Maybe companies like Google or Apple have the data and the capacity to do so, smaller companies less likely.

I really, really wish it worked, but at the moment it sounds like a nice way for companies to feel good by buying carbon credits to startups that still haven't proven not just that it works, but that there may actually be a way to know whether or not it works.

Similar experience. Whenever I have questions where I know what answer should be (i.e. errors, how to do something etc, ELI5) I will use LLMs. When I use google now I almost never use the AI overview because I am almost exclusively trying to discover something that I want from a source. There's also a whole interesting category of search called navigational queries where there is low entropy (and thus ad value) when someone just goes to google to search espn.com, because they will almost always not explore. I do not understand why people would use perplexity or anything over just chatgpt,claude etc unless some price thing - because it occupies this middle latent space of search I don't find useful.
No, no, I can believe that most Japanese software is bad. And also that the average piece of Japanese software is worse than the average piece of eg US software.
"Pelican on a bicycle" is really fun, honestly. I hope it doesn't go the way of the unicorn! :-D
The "what/how" distinction is fundamental. If the "what" is getting healthy and fit, that is a very high-level goal. Within your example, you choose the "how" through running
It could've been walking in nature, going to the gym, or doing calisthenics. all of them different "hows".

But since your example made a choice, we are now one level deeper and more concrete than before. The what/goal has in this level become to run a 5K, and the how/method is how you will train to achieve that goal.

"How" and "what" can be very conceptual, especially at a high level, and just like the 5 Whys technique, it could take a few levels to become concrete.
Top-down programming is often taught by separating the "how" and the "what."
For example:

customer = get_customer(id=id)

The "what" is getting the customer.

The "how" is not revealed, yet its intent is clear.
Within the function get_customer we could have another 'what' for example run_query
Top-down programming will often first skip the "how" and focus only on the "what" by writing the functions, methods, and classes later on.

I read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" several years ago and the "it's about them" thing really stuck with me. People really do like to talk about themselves, and that makes parties much easier if you have social anxiety. I love listening to people talk about their interests, because I always learn something and I can form a positive connection with someone new (even if their interests aren't really up my alley). It also has the added benefit of being able to make a good impression on someone without exhausting your social batteries.

Parent comment makes no assumption that they are the majority. But a minority of users (probably hacker types) who search with boolean operators and keywords instead of typing full sentences do indeed represent a portion of the market willing to pay $$$. These users crave a search engine which returns what they searched for, not what the provider's black box algorithm comes up with.

GNU/Linux as a desktop OS is an example of this market. 95%+ of people will work with Windows or MacOS their whole career which fits their use case perfectly. But the 5% of powerusers who choose Linux gain so much productivity and professional value that it's a thriving ecosystem with plenty of lucrative businesses built around it.
Hi everyone,

I've been working on this for about a year and put together a demo.

I'd love to hear your feedback.
I get caught up in this sometimes, trying to pick my
Very Most Favorite X, but for most people (who aren’t engineers), they really just want to know “what’s an example of X that you really like?”; it doesn’t have to be so absolute.

In the end, as the author points out, it’s really just fodder for further conversation.
You say it like 'undercutting' is a bad thing.

I used this feature in the New York subway last week. I didn't know it was new. It's a cool idea, but it didn't work for me. The app said that the train was several stops behind its actual location.
To be fair, I find modern Google maps absolutely perplexing as well, the user experience has really degraded as ads and other functionality has been shoved in on top of what I want - a map to get to where I'm going.

Instead it's so damn slow as to be hard to get anything done while on the go, even with maps downloaded, modern Android phone, etc.

It really, really needs a simplification refresh.
This is a really good conceptual model, the tradeoff between flexibility and constrained declarative frameworks. The goals is to make self-hosting applications extremely easy and extremely reliable. With that as a goal, being highly constrained seems like the way to go.

> Unlike students, LLMs can simultaneously process and synthesize insights from thousands of historical

They can't. Anything multivariate LLMs gloss over and prioritize flow of words over hard facts. Which makes sense considering LLMs are language models, not thinking engines, but that doesn't make them useful for serious(above "second year") intelectual tasks.

They don't have any such unique capabilities, other than that they come free of charge.
