That's a bit different though. META invested in a product that, as of now, as very little competition. The QUEST is sold at a slight loss but at least at an approachable price and to a volume that makes them the clear leader in the market at the moment. Moreover, their OS is open source. Clearly, what they want is to sell enough VRs to get the monopoly on the ecosystem and its apps (they basically want to make an Android play store for VRs). You may argue they are far but at least that's a clear business model.

OpenAI's business model was literally "we don't have one: we'll make AGI and we'll let AGI tell us how to make money". This is so idiotic it's not even a scam. xAI will compete on the same plane field. Not sure about Anthropic: they seem a bit more sane.
Being introduced to something in adult hood vs being primed for it from your first moments of thought. That is the real mark between generations. What sensibilities marketing departments have propagandized within this cohort of youths. They will hold those views to some degree for the rest of their lives.
Sorry, but that is mental gymnastics. You've already made your conclusion and are torturing reality to make it fit.
It's insane (but not surprising, sadly) to me that so many people have such a level of disdain for their fellow humans that they're willing expose them to Facebook's, or any tech company's, spying ways.
I don't think a stressed rando inside the plane is in position to evaluate how soon it will combust. Not even the firemen on the outside often have a clue.
30+ years ago, Christian thought was the dominant force in society. You wanted to piss off your elders and society? Say something bad about Christianity (I should know, I was there front-and-center). Current year in many places of the country, the pendulum has now swung left and there's this new neo-liberal order. You want to piss off society now? Say something bad about that. And that's precisely why movements like the alt-right have risen to the heights they are at now.

You've probably heard phrases being thrown around online like "conservative is the new punk"; while mostly silly, there is a nugget of truth to them.

The only reason to start a project is because you need something new, otherwise you'd copy an old project. Like teaching school, your students are always the same age even as you get older, it's always new to them, and they make the same mistakes. Engineering projects are eternal September.
> The definition of "personal data" is so wide that it is impossible to provide any web service without collecting some form of "personal data".

Just because Apache by default collect and stores IPs doesn't mean it is impossible to provide a web service without collecting personal data? Disable the IP collecting, and even the default configuration wouldn't need to follow GDPR as it again doesn't even apply.

Is there something else in Apache that collects personal data by default? If you're unsure what "persona data" really means, https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/ has the definition.

“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” – Archilochus

People like to imagine how they would act in an extreme situation that is unique and beyond anything they have ever experienced before. But the reality is people do very poorly most of the time without regular training. In a crash, the adrenaline is flooding your body, and most people are not “thinking” much at all. You know you need to get out but your brain is barely processing, so what do you do when you exit a plane? You grab your luggage and head for the door.

Flight attendants giving simple, clear, easy to follow instructions is partly because people are not thinking and processing properly and need help doing things that would be easy in a non-emergency situation.

I would've enjoyed trying this out but the subscription fee is an immediate turn off.

My biggest concern with this project is expertise and potential burn-out. There's a lot of writing from scratch that really begs to go through the gauntlet of open source.
Yes, numpad0 did... but I was pointing out that this choice was illogical. The lmarena results they were replying to only supported a comparison against o1, since o1 effectively matches Grok 3 on the benchmark being replied to (with o1-pro nowhere to be found), and then they immediately leapt into a bunch of weird value-proposition math. As I said, perhaps you think they should have replied to someone else? Replying to an lmarena benchmark indicates that numpad0 was using that benchmark as part of the justification of their math. I also pointed out the limitations of lmarena as a benchmark for frontier models.

I don't think anyone is arguing that ChatGPT Pro is a good value unless you absolutely need to bypass the rate limits all the time, and I cannot find a single indication that Premium+ has unlimited access to Grok 3. If Premium+ doesn't have unlimited rate limits, then it's definitely not comparable to ChatGPT Pro, and other than one subjective comment by Karpathy, we have no benchmarks that indicate that Grok 3 might be as good as o1-pro. You already get 99% of the value with just ChatGPT Plus compared to ChatGPT Pro for half the price of Premium+.

numpad0 was effectively making a strawman argument by ignoring ChatGPT Plus here... it is very easy for anyone to beat up a strawman, so I am here to point out a bad argument when I see one.

I still can't think of what sequence of disasters would lead to Earth being less habitable than Mars. Earth still supported life the day after the meteor hit. To bring Earth down to Mars level something would have to remove all the atmosphere, remove all the mineral resources, remove the oceans, and screw up gravity and the diurnal cycle.

> Not my idea, wasn't representing it as my idea; djb proposed it long ago (as other commenters in this thread mentioned), and as you pointed out as IPv4 mapped addresses. I was just describing how it might work, since it's a little confusing.

Every time IPv6 comes up some number of people talk about a protocol that 'just' added more bits IPv4 and calling it a day. But when going over the details of how what would work, exactly, you end up at the same place as IPv6 (and various 'transition mechanisms').

But there is no 'just' adding more addresses: you need to update (at least) end-hosts, update DNS, have relays/proxies if the middle of your network does not support IPng, have tunnelling to/from those special translation systems. It's basically the same thing as IPv6.

Certainly you can argue about keeping ARP versus going with NDP. Or not having SLAAC—but then you need infrastructure like DHCP (which is optional with IPv6).
Interesting. Who distributes my keys from me to my recipient? Is it someone in the middle? You can see where I'm going with this.

Signal's way to validate that a session isn't man-in-the-middle'd is the same as XMPP: You have to validate the session's fingerprint in real life, or over another secure channel, by scanning each other's QR code, a procedure we'll refer to as "the QR thing".

Over more than five years of Signal usage, I personally did this exactly twice.

Now, we can start to imagine the typical Signal user.

Either we consider that I'm a minority and at least the vast majority of people do "the QR thing", so most/all sessions are secure from any man-in-the-meddling.

But then, you present the argument that XMPP is insecure because it can send plaintext. So this imaginary Signal user would be careful and privacy-inclined enough to use "the QR thing", but too careless to keep OMEMO on his XMPP client (where it's on by default in the vast majority) !?

I can't imagine this user. I fail.

The other way to reason about this is that, just like me, no one does "the QR thing". The vast majority of sessions are not protected against an MITM. Note that "the QR thing" is identical on XMPP, so all previous criticisms apply, except for a key difference...

On XMPP, servers are small. Trust is diluted, and in a lot of cases, you know personally your administrator, if you're not tech-oriented, because your administrator is the guy who told you about it.

Even when it doesn't matter, the server does matter a bit, eh?

If you have virtually no pricing power and have to drop your $200/mo to $15/mo that's a big deal if your $300bn valuation is implying that not happening, which is what OP's point is about

I don't realistically think there's a "bootstrapped" path to build what Sandstorm was building. Too many pieces needed to be in place before it was a really viable product. After a dozen or so eng-years we still had something that was pretty janky.

Moreover trying to take a bootstrapped path creates a distraction from the core technology by forcing you to design for ways you can sell more quickly. That might require shortcuts and compromises, or building things that you don't actually need in the long term. That was certainly the case for us: we spent a lot of time engineering a way to paywall certain "enterprise features", and building a paid hosting service (which was sort of antithetical to the whole idea), and we made compromises in the security model to allow us to move faster.

I think it's just a fact that most businesses require upfront capital to get off the ground, and some require a lot of it. So you either need founders who are already independently wealthy or you need some sort of venture capital. And yeah sometimes you have a Docker who makes a great piece of technology and can't figure out how to sell it, but would Docker have been built at all otherwise? Maybe it was a loss for the shareholders but it still seems like a win for the industry.

I think you are missing the point why enterprises have multiple tiers down the line of contractors who implement their software.

The point that's most important is: plausible deniability, because with formal and contractual agreements comes the responsibility shift. Enterprise buys software consultancy services because they are the ones that get the blame if it's not compliant with the legal requirements for it or when an audit fails at a later point.

Don't dumpster dive, go to a pawn shop or buy the tool your mechanic wants to sell off cheap. My mechanic friends go to 'estate sales'/garage sales in upscale neighborhoods and consistently picks up the set of SnapOns or decent DeWalt power tool for pennies on the dollar because some rich bro wanted to tell his friends about how he only buys 'the best' and only used it once. One pal grabbed a ~15 year old Milwaukee reciprocating saw for us$20 a while back...it looked like the prev owner never even opened the case.

OTOH...I guess that's really just trading the tool restoration hobby with the cruising yard sales for deals hobby.

I think the part that tells the real story here that I forgot to add in that wall of text most won't read is that each of those links came up in the first 5 results for the simple searches I ran on DDG.

If any effort had been expended at all in attempting to understand whether anything in musk's post was accurate then they would easily have been able to find several high quality breakdowns from non-partisan sites.

Instead they made a choice to echo something, incorrectly too, that they thought they read somewhere. Didn't even provide a link.

I think if HN was to modify any rules that would improve the quality of discussions on contentious subjects that frequently devolve into unproductive political arguments then the posting rule could be changed to require posting of links to arguments that you are trying to make so that everyone can see the supporting data behind your beliefs and judge for themselves whether they should change their own beliefs or poke fun at the poster for believing nonsense.

Back when reddit was still a one-pager they tried to maintain a standard of backing up claims with data to support the claims. Over the years it has devolved into the site we have today where most posters do as this guy did and post simple one line replies to everything.

It's a hit and run way of trying to bring someone around to your way of thinking without giving them a reason to do so.

I'm all for distributed / P2P social media, but crypto is full of some of the most scammy and downright shameful behavior I've ever seen in my life. Pump and dumps, rug pulls, money laundering. There is a real reason people hate crypto.

To tip it off, crypto is one of the least meritocratic things there is. The longer you've been in it, the more people you've scammed, the more you hype, the "wealthier" you are.

Crypto smells like a shit and vomit sandwich and people immediately turn their noses.

Build P2P social without the crypto angle and you have my attention. I've been wanting p2p (not federated) social media since the 200Xs and the decline of the indie web. Social and news should work like email and BitTorrent, not Facebook or "federated Twitter".
In fact, the slowness and complexity of DANE is a big part of why it got pulled.
I think that you are right, thanks!
Your experience is more or less my experience. I even know a person that remembers from well before being 1 year old. That person started speaking very early, maybe that's related to having early memories. Different people develop at different times. The ages in the articles are averages of their respective populations so these data points are offset, for example, by the daughters of a friend of mine that told me that they don't remember anything before being 5 or 6 years old.

Except this is exactly what you would do if Google disappeared and did before Google existed. You're applying different standards.
The concept is interesting. I think the awareness of babies might be underestimated.

Sounds like a rationalisation way later though? I don't think you could be aware of either concept at the time. Like, the fear of the priest as a stranger, or fear of the other babies screams from pouring water on their heads. Not the concept of drowning or killing.

Yes, but it's nonsense to equate identity with difficulty. The goth scene originated in a London nightclub, for goodness' sake (the Batcave). There are goths in every big city, and in a lot of cases they move to places _where the scene is_ so that they can participate.
Fantastic product and props to the creator on it! Though Mac only and a subscription price of this magnitude for an IDE is a hard sell, given the availability of other options, which aren't neccesarily $20 a month worse. Never the less I'll keep my eye on this project.
I like these. My only gripe is that every tone, except 103, has a pop noise early on in the playback. I’m not able to unhear it. You might have to turn your volume up a tad for it to stand out.
This depends very much on the size of the code base, the amount of data in the DB and (of course) the quality of the ORM.

It sounds like you are lucky enough that you have never had an ORM generating badly optimised/n+1/over-eager queries that take down a production service. Or perhaps had to debug low level query cache issues causing unexpected problems.

I'm not advocating for plain SQL, just offering some suggestions as to why someone might want you to consider it.
Correct. I avoid rust because it is a language where it's pretty much infeasible to have a compiler from your system repositories unless it's a rolling distro. Having some random application require updates so often (like a browser) is marginally acceptable if distasteful. But a compiler and toolchain that exists entirely outside my distro? No thanks.

What I am confused about is how everyone is pretending this is a normal software situation. It's vastly weird and different from most compilers and toolchains. It may be normal if you're coming from web dev but web dev is not normal and not a healthy ecosystem.
