Interesting project. In many ways it is valuable to have experimental versions of FreeBSD where developers and users can explore radical evolutions of the OS (future init, service management, security, etc.). To then ease the porting to Fre

So France got their stupid assisted-dying law too, how cool is that? I am sure an App is being developed as we speak. The digital ID login will be buggy but it will be open source so you can contribute to fix the bugs before you ask to off

I remember they were pushing the AI narrative all along the 2010s on their front page. 10 years ahead of everybody. We looked into it at the time there was nothing interesting. Outside of the mainframe, power business, some research and coo

Outside of the mainframe business which is a world on its own, IBM has the worst software and culture. Apart from Oracle of course. I remember 15 years ago IBM was already all in AI with Watson. I digged into it it technically it was all un

Yeah I agree. Now that would be interesting because it should actually impact the algorithms used by platforms such as Amazon...

Sure but we still face the same problem: define "social media" or "addictive design of the algorithms" HN has almost all of the features of a "social media" and a good algorithm. If you visit HN every day it is

iroh is very interesting and in many way it could get traction for IoT. Now I am not sure it is feasible but it would be interesting to have it available in esphome. I feel this is really where real adoption happens.

I am fascinated by lisp but only had the time to mess with clojure for about a year. My weird take is that lisp would have a better shot if one would replace the parentheses with square brackets. It might just be me but the round parenthesi

What should worry everybody is the big picture (trying to abstract from politics, ideologies and specific situation). In recent years we had: - Europe is now at war with Russia (neighbor) - Its relationship with the US is rapidly deteriorat

> OpenBSD's FFS can be told to be fully synchronous, making it about as robust as can be for not being journaled. I am very interested, is there anything we can read to achieve that?

Exactly, the entire AI industry has been trying to create an AI powered security arm race. I am not necessarily blaming them. Hard to know how much has been thrown into this but I would bet a lot. So far I have been very surprised we haven&

No. The way the EU is designed has nothing to do with the US or France. First the Parliament and Council (the bodies democratically elected) do not have power of legislative initiative. Then the Commission, which is a "super" exec

One of the very dangerous side effect of this is it pushes a lot of people out of the ability to own a decent car legally. The camera, AI chip and all supporting electronic supporting it will raise the price of the entry level Dacia (a Daci

So now that this is done the first thing we need is a list of platform covered and potentially covered by Chat Control. It is still unclear to me if Proton Mail, Tuta, SimpleX servers, Signal, etc. fall under this or might. Do they even hav
