I like the Chromebook solution for tampering: allow people to go crazy but throw up a big scary warning on boot!

Indeed, there's much less, and that's lower opinion. But you also can't run normal workloads. You have to build for Agent Substrate / Ax. What's nice about Scion is that it runs existing systems. It runs Claude, it

I'd evaluated both Google's Agent Substrate (that underlies Ax) and their Scion project. I really enjoy how Scion operates with existing tools really well. Ax/Agent Substrate is much more a greenfield independent effort, it&#

This is a really neat kit, from the person who did the recent super impressive Stars! port to modern Windows + speed tuning + MCP server. Submitted earlier today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49755378 https:/

I forget whether it was steam or GE-Proton I ran it under but ran just fine on Linux. Have to say, I did crash out after 40 turns though, which is ridiculous, after thinking so much about Stars! for so long. News here: there's an MCP s

I agree it's subjective. For now, I think that amplifies the need. If people have conflicting views, fine, state yours as you are kicking out the Nazis and other genocidal turds. Be clear. If that starts cutting the wrong way: so be it

That you don't know what I'm talking about when I say least least privileges isn't stunning. Because almost no one took any precautions with how processes ran and only some people realize you should! Even though systemd make

Oh! These are HID! I wonder if this is for Pixel, or if this is something they had to shoehorn in fast to make Chromebooks work?

Worth reminding folks that the EU DMA Act is forcing Google to start unlocking some of their APIs, such as the AI services AI. Right now a bunch of the apis for digital assistants/chat stuff are kind of proprietary, and this is demandi

It's sad we lost ChromeOS. They got Linux, they got open source, they didn't make so so so many unforced errors. Now that the chromebooks are also Android, it feels like the slide is only going to grow ever more fearsome.

You're taking a slant on the rally, to turn a possible downside into something greviously fatal. That's not intrinsic in what I was talking about. We can have clear identifying gathering points, touchstones, blog posts, etc that c

Those jenga towers were terrible, many didn't work very well. Very few had good monitoring, ops, reliability, least-privleges. It's unbelievable to me to hear people advocating for not having good broadly usable systems, to advoca

Is your Civilization victory a Science, Military or Cultural one? I think that depends on how and if the technology is socialized and spoken of. If people feel like it's an oppressor, something they don't understand that has rolle

Having everyone have to discover the pro/con's of every system themselves, in the dark, with no social media / blogging around it, seems like a very strange position to me. Technology should be highly social. Especially open

Sure. These sites are fine rallying points, absolutely. But they are also very old, and there's very few efforts I've seen to pitch and promote systemd. It's found and enjoyed by a lot of people (particularly those who had to

This is just the homepage. Bah. I was hopeful this might be more! I would genuinely love for some posting on systemd that can actually talk to this. There's posts on using systemd for this or that, which are fine, but it feels like the

Worth mentioning that Nvidia open sourced CUDA Tile IR ~8 months ago. And yes the code is open source too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46330732

I agree that this is more silly than practical or useful. It's just that old. It's ridiculous. Reciprocally though 10 even 15 year old GPUs (half as old) are actually often pretty good and useful, for a lot of people. And they&#x

The Allwinner A733 chip here is still pretty mediocre for upstream support. There's people working on it, but the Rockchip cpus have the benefit of having been around for a long long time & having had many years of support. Down fo

This is why police unions are starting to talk about shutting down Flock: because it's a hazard to police. Because the normalized abuse of power that pervades policing is actually visible here.
