No, it’s not. For example, even if you know every device on your network you STILL need network segmentation.

Nix has been around since 2003, NixOS just takes that to its logical conclusion. cloud-init may have been inspired by it (I don't know), but certainly not the other way around.

By snarled mess of state, I don't just mean the way it works on first install, I mean the bundle of mud that imperatively managing a system inevitably turns into, with bits of this and that config left behind.

Try playing around with a few different window managers to feel the pain. NixOS makes it easy to try out new config and revert to the old config without muss or fuss.
>most software isn't doing much more than software did 20 years ago

This isn't exactly true, but some of the potential reasons are pretty bad. Software turning into an ad platform or otherwise spying on users has made numerous corporations wealthier than the gods at the expense of the user is probably one of the most common ones.
I am more surprised by how we got to this world where people think in terms of what software developers "allows" us to do, or not do.

Limiting yourself to methods that are easy to understand is like looking for your keys under the streetlight. Small-scale methods may be easy to analyze, but they lack the richness and complexity that makes intelligence interesting.

> What's next? Shutting down an AI is murder?

I can see a possible future where AI actually exists and shutting one down could be murder. At that point it would even be a good thing to grant the AI personhood. What passes for "AI" these days doesn't come anywhere close to that, but I wouldn't say it could never happen.

As a developer of these apps, you owe me nothing, no need to treat every explanation as a demand. I just chose an app that has basic features like selection coords from the get go and shared my experience on a forum where it might be useful to others. How exactly people are using these coords -- for automation, or pixel arts, or precise composition/aspect ratio, or something else -- isn't relevant, same for other commonly present features.

Is this really true? I receive a lot of iMessage (not SMS) spam on iOS devices too. In fact for me I see more spam purely on iMessage than SMS. It wasn’t like that in the past, but my point is even closed systems can be abused.

I wonder if Musk may reconsider his actions as a result of the general outcry, not that I approve of the likes of dogequest.

Whats old is new again. Some say this is the end goal for people like Musk, Theil etc. Company towns but instead of towns, collapse the US and the remaining pieces get divided up into different company 'enclaves' that subjects can apply for immigration to and be employed in. You'd live, eat and work in company provided resources.

After thinking about it, its probably inevitable that the US goes down this route. Any semblance of worker solidarity is nonexistent and has been mostly beaten out of the populace and there seems like no pathway to go back to those days.

> All of that could as easily be done locally

It cannot. Keep in mind that the Alexa devices are built to be as cheap as possible, so they have minimum amounts of RAM and CPU. The tiniest of models can barely fit on the device.

> The Echo speaker is likely the hub for the IoT device controlling the kitchen light.

Generally the devices that are controlled by Alexa are done via Wifi from the provider of the device using their own APIs. Very few "Works with Alexa" devices can be controlled locally. But yes, some of them can. However, the Alexa device doesn't know it is called "kitchen".

> None of the context you speak of requires "cloud".

I just gave you a simple example. Here is a better one that I used down below:

Say you live in San Francisco:

"Alexa, I'm thinking of going to New York, how many flights are there each day?"

This is a hard question, and one that will go to the cloud.

"Alexa, what's the weather"

This seems like an easy question. But with local only processing, you'd get the weather in San Francisco. But with the LLM, it will probably give you the weather in New York, which is most likely what you wanted if you asked these things just a few seconds apart.

Honestly, it sounds like we are in agreement except that I don't find those descriptions to be unfair, and I'm not sure why you would, after stating them yourself. They are common behavioral traits of the breed.

> And those people do not care much about lock-in and walled gardens. They are not interested in jailbreaking and sideloading apps. They've never heard of Pebble or have any interest in it.

Customers are interested in new products and services that are good. This is how all currently popular products began, obviously. By preventing competitors from being good, as Apple and Microsoft and Amazon and other mega corporations regularly do, there’s no chance for competition to get to the point of attracting customers in the first place. Those people that you think are not interested in one thing or the other COULD want those things if they were allowed and easy to do without all these anti competitive practices.
The artist still owns the copyright. Payment by itself does not transfer copyright. To do that the artist needs to explicitly sign away those rights. This happens in employment all the time. Part of the paperwork you sign is about transferring over the copyrights from yourself to the company.

I highly recommend you check your own paperwork to see exactly how much this covers, since some states allow contracts that cover everything you make at any time. California has a specific law that limits these contracts to only works done on company equipment and on company time. Your state might be different.
It might be the primary communications device.

So maybe we should look at our definition of computer in this context. As almost everything contains software programmable controllers these days, that cannot be the definition.
> you can't copyright something that your AI generated

Seems like a loophole, if I generate synthetic data with a model trained on copyrighted works, the synthetic data is copyright free? So I can later train models on it?

Replace friend with AI; there is no person to assign the copyright, so there is no copyright. It doesn't default to me just because I asked for it.

Why should an "AI" be considered a who rather than just another tool? To me, current "AI" are image manipulation program and camera replacements instead of people replacement.

Using private data to train a public LLM seems like a huge liability that Google's legal team would never approve. I could see them using the data for all sorts of kinds of analytics though. I heard Google deals in those a lot.
People say this about Linux but it’s not been my experience. Granted I’m 10 years deep now, but everything just works always and is exactly how I like it. Even basic things like menus changing doesn’t happen on Debian. I’m good to go.

Windows? Provided it doesn’t shit the bed, which it often does, things change randomly for no reason and beyond your control. One day you boot up and boom - the UI for x, y, z is different. And there goes 10 hours spread over the next month while you relearn.

iOS is fairly decent about this too.

I guess that's fair, because the name says Player. But still, the way to not use those features is to not use those features. Unlike a third party app you don't need to worry about it trying to read your screen if you haven't explicitly started a screen recording. If you can't trust Apple to do that then you can't trust Apple to block third party apps from recording, either.
> there is no person to assign the copyright, so there is no copyright.

Wait, so if I have a script that generates some source-code autonomously (based on whatever trigger I setup say in a ci/cd pipeline) then that code is not copyrightable? What about macros? This seems silly to me.
You obviously know that's not possible. They are private APIs kept for Apple's ecosystem lock-in.
> curious about the risk of a "at cost" replacement

You can't tell consumers the raw manufacturing cost because people act weird when they are told it: they usually assume the "markup" is profits. They assume that they're getting ripped off because most people don't understand development costs or overheads and they always argue that any profit is too much. This problem can't be fixed.

Apart from the risk of scammers buying a watch to sell, saying it is broken, getting a replacement at cost and the scammer steals the markup/profit.

You can maybe think of ways to make it work, but they are likely to have excessive support costs or other hidden costs for the manufacturer or consumer.

> At the same time, conservatives cannot be blind to certain developments in the American economy that appear to make government–private sector collusion more likely, threaten vital democratic institutions, such as free speech, and threaten the happiness and mental well-being of many Americans, particularly children. Many, but not all, conservatives believe that these develop- ments may warrant the FTC’s making a careful recalibration of certain aspects of antitrust and consumer protection law and enforcement.

That's a CYA if I've ever seen one.

They couldn't care less about government-private sector collusion. It's literally the dream of the tech Neo-feudalist crowd. Before the idea of "private property" came about in Enlightenment-era England, some guy owned everything, and the commoners labored for his enrichment. Since capitalism - at least as we've interpreted it in America - means consolidation of massively-capitalized corporations which control more numerous and diverse markets, that's kind of the endgame when one removes the ability of the government to stop such consolidation.

The question is, if nothing is done, who will it be?

Working smooth. What is the business model? Don't see any pricing.
Apples architecture comes with its own trade-offs, it gives them huge capacity and pretty good bandwidth, but not nearly as much as Nvidia's architectures have. The M3 Ultra is 800GB/sec, the RTX 5090 is 1.8TB/sec, and the H200 is 4.8TB/s(!). Huge capacity with middling bandwidth is in vogue because it's a good fit for AI inference, but AI training and most other applications of GPUs need as much bandwidth as they can get.
Sounds like something that aims to to unlock the ability to use the military to go after the cartels on Mexican territory.
I hate to break it to you, but unless you design a business exactly exquisitely perfect the first time AND trap its employees in amber so they never want to leave, get promoted, or age and retire, then a large part of running it properly is "promos, hirings, firings, and reorgs."

Making the machine run better and more efficiently is how they generate revenue in order to pay your salary, pay the bills, and give a dividend to the shareholders. It's the test automation of the business world.

That's incorrect. In fact, the whole point of blockchain is decentralization and it's what made Bitcoin so revolutionary: it was the first digital money system that didn't require a trusted central authority[0]. If a central authority is acceptable, you don't need a blockchain.

This is an extremely dangerous road to go down. If you accept Trump's argument here, then Trump can overturn any law passed in the last 4 years.

Hah well I would hope so!

But do we even know if it's a law, royal decree, or ministerial decree? Will it be receiving parliamentary scrutiny? Do we know if it's in process or already enacted? If a decree that amends another decree, do we at least have an idea where the consolidated (as-amended) version is?

There are many anti competitive practices that Apple and Microsoft engage in. And a lot of it is not even “preventing” something but just bogging it down so it takes a lot of time and money and starves out anyone who could challenge them.

But we should also talk about the inverse thing where they give themselves an advantage in positive ways. Like for example, iOS devices will regularly advertise Apple’s own Siri intelligence or their own games subscription or news subscription or iCloud or whatever. These get special treatment and show up in unexpected ways - notifications that you cannot prevent ahead of time or in your system menu with an annoying badge you cannot dismiss until you click the thing. These are things Apple only does does THEIR OWN products and services. It gives them an anti competitive advantage against others, but it does so not by crippling others but by boosting themselves.

All of this should be illegal. I dislike regulations sometimes, for example when EU regulation gets into censorship. But they seem to be doing a lot more to help customers and support competition than the US. While Trump talked a lot about breaking up big tech, I am skeptical as to whether he’ll do anything to actually support competition and actual free markets. It will require regulation, not posturing.

I run Linux on my personal computers.

Word of warning: businesses, possibly including your employer, may consider you to be a robot, or a terrorist, or tell you to install Windows, or tell you to use your phone, or tell you that you have no right to privacy.

I recently had to go through a background check for a prospective employer. The background check website wouldn't even load. The support agent told me that it's a Firefox problem and told me that I needed to open the website on Chrome or Edge or on my phone, and that the website is working "perfectly". Alas, it worked fine with Firefox on Linux, as long as the user-agent reported that it's actually Chrome and Windows.

Yeah the website is indeed working "perfectly": perfectly enough to block employment of people who care about privacy.
