Not really. I don't see how Linux being popular & strong today had any bearing on people's willingness to contribute 33 years ago.

Writing an operating system is challenging. Not as challenging as a compiler, but certainly more work (so much hardware, so many specifications ugh).

In 91-92, people were clamoring for a free, unencumbered 386 Unix. Enter Linux.

Every successful (non-commercial) OS undertaking needs and has a hook.

Redox? Rust (enough said).

Serenity? Live coding and mental health (no knock there).

And on the flip side, look at ReactOS. Languishing. Painfully slow 15+ years in development, and people would still rather pay Microsoft or roll the dice running applications under Wine. It's hook just isn't strong enough.

Again, not to knock this guy, because just the fact that he wrote his own AML interpreter is super impressive to me (I've floundered around in those same ACPI specs for far, far (far, far) too many sleepless nights), and never put out 1 line of AML code. So mad props.

But there's just no hook. C++? Passe. No microkernel / hypervisor / <insert_feature_here>? No capability model?

It'll be tough. But I know that OS'ing is a labor of love, even if not a single other person cares. Cheers.

After the beginning of colonialism, I mean.

While civil institutions were spread to colonies by colonialism, they were adopted by uncolonized countries also. Countries can adopt beneficial things without being taken over and having their resources and wealth extracted.

The same way Americans adopted civil rights from countries which had them earlier on. Europeans who banned slavery earlier than Americans did not need to invade America and extract its resources to bring them out of being a slave-owning polity.

I haven’t seen this demonstrated in gpt-4 or Claude sonnet when asking anything beyond the most extreme basics.

So yeah, substance abuse is in fact a problem. However even if you remove all drugs from society, you’ll still have people left without chairs. Just the profile of those people will change.

> Logical ordering of events in a distributed system is a solved problem. The solution is vector clocks (or something like them).

Vector clocks don't solve this problem, as they only provide a partial ordering. When multiple messages are in flight in the same 'simultaneity window', different observers may receive them in different orders and vector clocks can't determine a consistent order of those events.

Vector clocks could be used determine the order is inconsistent. But what do you do with that information?
You might likely have follow on events where A and B are unordered, and A1 was sent only seeing A, B1 sent only seeing B, and C was sent seeing A and B without seeing A1 and B1. It only gets more complex from there.

I'm not a UX person, but I can't imagine how to show this to users without causing massive confusion and information overload. There's a very small set of people that have studied distributed communication that would get this. And I haven't seen any UI that shows similar information in a coherent way... maybe git graphs, but I don't see how you make that fit on a phone screen where you're having a group chat.

Maybe just some indicator that says other people may see these messages in a different order, but then if it's not an immediately obvious signal, it's not really going to help users understand.

That’s interesting, it’s like the difference between code used at runtime (protein coding DNA) and initialization code (lncRNAs). Both have to be there for the program to work, but the initialization code is only used at startup to look at the environment and set up flags and data structures for the rest of the code. There’s probably signaling pathways that interact with the lncRNA genes which are part of cell differentiation.
I find problem with when people chalk up all the civilian deaths to "sectarian violence" as if carpet bombing whole cities, including even bomb shelters designated for civilians, hospitals, and press offices ... , doesn't kill civilians. Not to mention all the birth defects from the uranium from all those dropped bombs.

The mental gymnastics many people make to justify the war crimes in Iraq and all the other places the US invaded, terrifies me as to what new atrocities we are yet to witness.
Out of curiosuty, I looked through logs at my laptop after it wakes up and here is what is present there:

> kernel: CPU1 is up

> kernel: smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1

> kernel: Enabling non-boot CPUs

> kernel: ACPI: PM: Low-level resume complete

So of course it might be not a "real" S3, but I didn't have a chance to test how long the laptop battery can last in suspended mode.
I've heard that it's a terrible idea with the battery still in. Curious why this is a non-issue for a UPS -- is it the scale, type of battery (lithium ion vs lifepo4), quality, charge cycle, a bit of all of the above?

Which, ironically, creates economics that encourage people to buy printers and then not use them (much).

An industry built around selling you things you will then not want to use is an industry with big problems. It works for razor blades because we need to shave regardless -- yes, you could chose to have a beard, but short of that, demand is constant.

For printing, that just isn't true. And I print much less than I once did.
This might be the actual cost of LLMs. This would change the model considerably.
I had fun in the vmware-broadcom transition because the broadcom portal doesn't allow that, but the vmware portal did. Not even in my username, just in the surname field. The new portal ate it on that so hard, I wasn't even allowed to create a ticket to do anything about it.

Sure. The prints fade quickly, especially in the sun. And they are susceptible to heat, rubbing your fingernail along is enough friction heating to cause a black line. So they are not all that usable for something more permanent than a burger receipt.

> All I have to do is walk down the streets in Los Angeles and it's very obvious the vast, vast majority of the unsheltered here have a substance abuse problem.

a) "Data" is not the plural of "anecdote." Your personal experience, as valid as it may be, does not define the totality of the problem.

b) Did you ever stop to think that maybe people who end up homeless for any of the countless reasons people do might turn to alcohol and other drugs to cope with the stress and hopelessness of, y'know, being homeless?

c) Even of those who became homeless because of a substance abuse problem, what makes them any less deserving of basic human rights and dignity?

d) Countless studies have now shown that giving unsheltered people, including those with substance abuse problems, unconditional housing not only keeps them off the street, in the vast majority of cases they're able to get clean and work normal jobs again.
AI totally is a silver bullet. If you don't think so, you're just using it wrong and it's your fault. If you think that it takes you just as long or longer to constantly double-check everything it does, then you don't understand the P vs NP problem. </sarcasm>

It depends on whether what you are printing is intended to last, and for how long. A thermally printed receipt in a car in Phoenix during the summer might last a few days before becoming unreadable. I have Ticketmaster receipts from around 2000, that are unfortunately fading and will eventually be blank tickets again.
This is the correct answer for now, but when currently available options are functionally equivalent to what dial-up is now I think this opinion will not have aged well.
The general intent of the jury is to ask, "do you think they broke the law or not" and it's a jury of your peers, from your community, so it's seen as super fair.

On one extreme the jury carefully reviews the law as written and makes a judgement focused on the law. Whether they agree or disagree with the law itself is inconsequential, they must apply it.

On the other extreme (jury nullification) the jury might ignore the law and decide for themselves, then and there, what is right and what is wrong.

In many jurisdictions the jury is encouraged to adhere to the law as written, in some it is "illegal" for the jury to willfully ignore the law but there is no punishment for doing so. The concept of "Jury Nullification" is meant to be a checks & balances if some law exists that is insane or unreasonable or would be morally bankrupt to apply in a particular situation, extreme cases. So the pressure to not apply jury nullification in general is because if it were used in every case, not extreme cases, literally the jury then becomes the congress, the makers of law, and of course everything becomes kind of random and unfair depending on whatever jury you got.
No, you can't do that with just the VideoEncoder API, which only produces raw encoded frames. You need container muxing to create something playable, which is far from a "simple coding task".

> Then yes, you have a regular Linux (although based on musl, instead of usual glibc) on which you can install Docker.

The OnePlus 6/6T are also supported by Mobian [0], which is just regular glibc-and-systemd based Debian, and so a pretty familiar Linux server experience.

> it might indeed be a good idea to avoid Android

It's a good idea to avoid Android because of kernel security as well. Old Android devices always use out of date Linux kernels even when using custom ROMs, and when running (containerized) network services you really depend on the security of your Linux kernel to keep those things properly isolated. Both PostmarketOS and Mobian do bring current mainline Linux support to these devices, so you can be quite a bit more confident in your kernel that way.

It's a shame PostmarketOS and Mobian don't really support many newer devices well. Last I checked the OnePlus 6(T) were still the highest performance devices that had okay support. The Snapdragon 845 - a 2018 flagship SoC - in the Oneplus 6/6T made them real high performance device to repurpose for a long time. In 2024 though it's now beaten in performance by the Raspberry Pi 5 or RK3588 based Armbian based devices. Those SBCs of course already have much better I/O and more straightforward ways to get a supported Linux running on them (and don't require disconnecting the battery with custom soldering). So you need to be really committed to reusing your old hardware to go down this route.

I mean, the fact that the manufacturers can make the use of third party ink very difficult is absolutely vital to making the razor-and-blades style economics work; once they've done that it kinda follows naturally, but it's an absolute prerequisite.

Kagi provides a fantastic summarizer.

I have a bookmarklet for Kagi's Universal Summarizer, and if a long article or video doesn't immediately tell me "what it's gonna tell me" then I just click it.

Protip: Youtube changed something recently, and now I think you have to show the transcript and watch/wait a little bit before Kagi can find the transcript and summarize the video.

Uhh right, we don't do the things I described because they violate people's feeling of equality.

Ah, you're British. I see. Well good to know you're not bothered by inequality living in one of the most equal societies in world history.

As mentioned below: not caring about specific instances of inequality is not the same as not caring about inequality. I also don't care about the fact some people have private jets or fancy cars. That's not really what people are talking about, though obviously they're symbolic of the bigger picture.
It depends on the language and the libraries you will use. Python with a well known library? Sure no problem. Almost any model will crank out fairly error free boilerplate to get you started.

Terraform? Hah. 4o and even o1 both absolutely sucked at it. You could copy & paste the documentation for a resource provider, examples and all, and it would still produce almost unusable code. Which was not at all helpful given I didn’t know the language or its design patterns and best practices at all. Sonnet 3.5 did significantly better but still required a little hand holding. And while I got my cloud architecture up and running now I question if I followed “best practices” at all. (Note: I don’t really care if I did though… I have other more important parts of my project to work on, like the actual product itself).

To me one of the big issues with these LLM’s is they have zero ability to do reflection and explain their “thought process”. And even if they could you cannot trust what it says because it could be spouting off whatever random training data it hovered up or it could be “aligned” to agree with whatever you tell it.

And that is the thing about LLM’s. They are remarkably good bullshitters. They’ll say exactly what you want them to and be right just enough that they fool you into thinking they are something more than an incredibly sophisticated next token generator.

They are both incredibly overrated and underrated at the same time. And it will take us humans a little while to fully map out what they are actually good at and what they only pretend to be good at.
