The same can be said about the atproto as different apps are being developed for specific users like picture video only feeds and 3p clients for bsky.

The diversity is astounding. Mastodon is already everything everyone wants from Bluesky in this regard.

I'm not sure I get your point. I run my own bsky PDS, and federation is working fine for me and my users. I see plenty of posts from others.

Are you asking if perception of difficulty is really impactful to people's choices?

W/ bsky the hardest choice was the domain name purchase. And I didn't have to host my own server to do that either.

Microsoft operated its own popular social network in China, called MSN Messenger. Tens of millions Chinese users were on that platform for like a decade until the release of mobile based WeChat.

It is a matter of national security, we all saw what happened on twitter shortly before the 6th Jan 2021 attack.

That is the exact reason why everyone agreed that TikTok must host all US data and its deployed recommendation algorithm code in the US with 3rd party audit access by an appointed US entity.

The only question here is why should Meta and Google be exempted from the exact same rules if they want to operate their services in China.

> How does that work for any other industry in the UK?

I don't know about other industries but in silicon there are a few hubs - especially Cambridge, Bristol and London.

When I lived in London there was a big start-up scene around Hoxton.

It's not going to happen for consumer product type things (think Dyson) though because none of the manufacturing is in the UK. Who gets injection moulding done in the UK? Nobody. Dyson is a rare exception and even then it's only R&D that happens in the UK - manufacturing is all in Malaysia.
It is impossible to immigrate to the US unless your employer is willing to go through the time-consuming and expensive process of sponsoring a visa + green card, which they have little reason to do since they can pay you less over here.

Why do HN commenters want OpenAI to be considered in violation of copyright here? Ok, so imagine you get your wish. Now all the big tech companies enter into billion dollar contracts with each other along with more traditional companies to get access to training data. So we close off the possibility of open development of AI even further. Every tech company with user-generated content over the last 20 years or so is sitting on a treasure trove now.

I’d prefer we go the other direction where something like archive.org archives all publicly accessible content and the government manages this, keeps it up-to-date, and gives cheap access to all of the data to anyone on request. That’s much more “democratizing” than further locking down training data to big companies.
You may find yourself in that situation if you have a device that only supports SIMs, and you can't use any of the cheap travel esim providers with it. For travel, you would replace your local SIM with the 9eSIM, and be able to switch providers depending on destination. The difference can be huge in some countries, where a local provider's travel plan can be 30 to 50 USD, while a equivalent on an ESIM provider is just $4.

I live in such a country and have parents with older phones who can't use esims, so the value is obvious to me. :)
The devil is always in the details.

You may understand *how* to get there. But the actual journey to getting there is filled with detours and obstructions that developers tend to underestimate.
I sorta get what you're saying, and the flowchart here (https://blog.bambulab.com/updates-and-third-party-integratio...) somewhat agrees.

But where I disagree is with that cert stuff.

1) That cert is on the /client/ side, not in the printer. It has nothing to do with printer functionality, only with talking to the printer.

2) Expired certs do not mean things automatically get rejected. Using and allowing expired or self-signed certs is routine in the IoT world where certs on devices can't readily be updated. But again, that cert isn't from the printer.

3) Expired certs, just like the self-signed certs that are so commonly used, still result in things being encrypted on the wire. And often that's the point.

It seems to me that someone found/exported the cert, and is trying to make all sorts of WHAT-IF or THIS-COULD-MEAN-THE-WORST claims but are lacking some significant understanding. Without understanding the architecture and the rest of the code, and perhaps seeing that cert be used, this is just an artifact found in the distributed beta application.

Since the beginning of capitalism involved owning slaves, I find that very hard to believe.

This romanticization of early stage capitalism is awful. What is late stage capitalism?

Fair point. Yet hardly a "radical idea". According to that page you linked, you are still hydrating, just doing it with websockets instead of HTTP requests. Personally, I've spent the last week playing with Astro JS, which lets me build a component-driven app locally for content management, but doesn't serve it to browsers when published -- it renders the whole site to static HTML which I can serve from github pages. It definitely has its quirks, but if you are talking about a goal of just sending HTML to browsers, that seems like a better vision, doesn't it?
We could discuss this at length, but I completely share your point of view. Anyone can design a part that's impossible to produce.

The real added value is knowing how something is actually going to be made, in how many stages, with what tools, what controls will be carried out, with what tools, what the acceptance and rejection criteria are, and how these criteria have been determined, are essential points.

The Raspberry Pi 4 model B can also implement a FIPS-compliant entropy source in the form of CPU Jitter Random Number Generator (JEnt)! It is listed under certificate E21 within NIST’s Entropy Source Validation Program (ESV), so it could even be used in a cryptographic module.

ESV testing for JEnt uses an oversampling rate of 3, so even if you don’t want to use the precise setup described in the certificate (maybe a different version of OS, etc), the entropy rate from this will be more than adequate.

You have it all wrong.

VGA D-SUB actually is hot-plug. You can connect or disconnect a monitor or projector at any time with no risk of damage.
SATA is also hot-plug for connect, but it requires firmware support for disconnect (safe eject, more precisely, because it will detect a forced disconnect). It won't support hot-plug if used in IDE compatibility mode, because IDE was not hot-plug.

PCI is also hot-plug, but not the desktop connector.

PS/2 never was hot-plug. It's a serial port with interrupt assigned at boot if there's a device connected there. It's not possible to assign the the resources after the system is booted.

I can't remeber what Win95 could do, but I'm sure that Win98 had support for dual monitor - I used that a lot. I could turn on my second monitor at any time. That's because of PnP. Win311 was not PnP and required a restart to make changes to display configuration.

I'm not sure what you belive "hot-plug" means. Possibly you wanted it to auto-change the default output configuration when something was connected/disconnected? I was very happy it didn't do that! But it was short-lived. The auto-bullshit stuff was introduced by Radeon and Nvidia drivers, independent of OS, and I absolutely hated it when the driver auto-reverted to 60Hz on my 120Hz Trinitron! Many 3rd party tools were written to fix that. I remember using RefreshLock.

Chinese iPhone has no eSIM support (they have dual SIM instead), IoT stuff like alarms tend to use SIM slots, LTE/5G routers tend to use SIM, etc.

Until eSIM provisioning for embedded devices is sorted out and popularized there will be plenty of reasons to adapt to a regular SIM.
Could one make an all-software sim card emulator which would enable this?

Or does the esim spec have some kind of DRM to require you to use physical hardware with an embedded yet secret-to-you key?
> Which is why I said water would raise the temperature because the oxygen is liquid oxygen — i.e. very cold.

Water is hotter than liquid oxygen indeed, but it's still much colder than a fire with fuel and oxygen.

> I mentioned solid phase because you were saying "if you mixed liquid oxygen and fuel nothing would happen". There are also videos of people starting fires by pouring LOX onto things.

Do you have an example of such a video? Because in all liquid oxygen I could find on YouTube right now they are always setting the thing on fire (which gives it the initial heat). As I said, it's possible that some mixture of pure oxygen and some fuel have a fire point that is below 0°C, in which case water wouldn't work. But then you could use another (non-flamable) fluid that would be at a temperature below that fire point.

> The fuel and oxidiser in a rocket are often pumped around the outside of the engine bell before reaching the injectors, in order to keep the engine bell itself from melting due to the heat of combustion. I'm not sure exactly what temperature the fuel and oxidiser are at when they hit the injector

The temperature when they hit the injector is irrelevant, what matters is the temperature at the fire boundary.

Imagine a gas stove: the gas reaches the injector around room temperature, but as soon as it reaches the flame of the previous gas (or a match, or a spark from the piezo igniter), it starts burning. But if you pour a glass of water on it (or if you just turn the gas on without igniting it), it will stop burning, and the gas is now just going to spread into the room without burning (don't do this at home, you'd blow up your house)
I see no reason to believe your version.

In English, adjectives before the noun are the usual form.
I wish I knew if this would have helped me on a recent trip out of the U.S. In preparation, I upgraded my older, low-end smartphone to one with a more recent version of Android, NFC (for tap-to-pay), a headphone jack, and support for two physical SIMs.

So when I arrived at my destination, I was able to purchase a 30-day SIM for a local phone number and data, but my primary SIM was useless outside of the U.S. so no access to my primary phone number (I ended up using WhatsApp a lot). My carrier (Boost Mobile) advertised an add-on for "Global Roaming", but despite non-trivial time spent reading and talking to them on the phone, I got merely a vague impression that only an eSIM would have allowed me to continue to use my primary number out of the country. Would this solution have worked for me?

Meanwhile, I still have the (now deactivated) second SIM in my phone, hope that is not a security risk of some kind.

The advantage of JSX & TSX used together is that you know exactly what data goes into your component. In larger projects this is massive improvement over just having "some" data that you access in your HTML templates.

From my perspective, Typescript in combination with JSX is the best thing to have come out of React, any component in a larger project should have good typing to avoid problems down the road.

The phrasing "radical idea" was tongue-in-cheek: of course serving HTML over HTTP is the way God intended it.

Maybe we have different things in mind when we say "hydrating", but my understanding is that Hotwire/Turbolinks does not involve any fat JS app with virtual DOM, state management, etc. on the client side. All of that logic remains on the server, and it delivers chunks of HTML (over HTTP or websockets, it doesn't matter conceptually) that replace elements in the page without requiring a full page reload.

This is the main repo for did:plc. The important section of the README is "Key Rotation and Account Recovery": https://github.com/did-method-plc/did-method-plc

Post about said tool: https://bsky.app/profile/renahlee.com/post/3lcbnab6rl22h

An article on how to do this manually: https://whtwnd.com/fei.chicory.blue/entries/How%20to%20get%2...

It's generally pretty sparse docs because everything is fairly "beta" still and because it is cryptography if you fuck it up you permanently lose control over your account forever. This is one of the reasons they don't advertise non-custodial recovery keys super aggressively.

And the protocol that is used for maintaining a ledger of key changes isn't exactly ideal or to my knowledge final but rather is in a "it's good enough until we douse the other fires" state.
>Reset into early stage capitalism (lack of regulation and all)?

I think this wouldn't be bad.
You introduce a point I have not seen discussed before which is that these type of content distribution platforms go through a process to find their global minima.

Twitter at the beginning you didn't know what it was going to be or what worked. Same with facebook and instagram. As time goes on these sites small features bring out their emergent properties of what 'works' there.

And once it has been 'figured out', it is not as fun. You know what you can expect there and people go there but it is no longer a dynamic feeling. Like watching the NBA today, it has been 'figured out'.

I think that may be what is the factor in the longevity of these platforms, once it is 'figured out', if what it is, appeals to enough of a large base.

Tik tok may have gone further because it never really was 'figured out' in that larger way. The algorithm really could give you wildly different content and different 'trends' would show up so it never reached that static boring point.

For these 'on the decline' sites you can almost predict exactly what you will see there and exactly what the discussions are. It is not longer an exciting TV show.
Simply there are more eSIM providers than traditional SIM ones, so there's more competition and lower prices. That alone is enough.
