I really hope that some portions are turned into public institutions (either directly or in the weird way organizations like USPS is) in some way. They've made themselves so deeply ingrained and essential to using the internet as loss

Thirdparty roms are very good about backporting patches after Google drops support.

This is still so many steps to recreate what Flatpak / mobile app models / etc are already close to, but with less freedom for developers by still being restricted to the web stack.

I can't help but believe that this is introducing more spooky action at a distance and is bound to be abused. Is it really more usable this way? Do they have any concrete and practical examples where this improves readability?

The slogan "Broadcast Yourself" was really inspiring at the time, because it actually was kinda hard to do that at scale in video.

Weird to use market metaphors to describe things that are not commodities. Plurality is the key here, everyone free to choose their own software. The "free marketplace of ideas" metaphor implies that there's some natural

I'm confused about what this could be, with a title as technical as this but being posted somewhere with the signal:noise of Twitter, also where I can't view it.

This is a great example of what I mean. They had to swap for formats that were designed to be equivalent to HTTP and JSON in order to not have to rewrite large parts of the protocol. And that project was just a prototype that was never

Just from the top of my head there's the Google proxy shenanigans and the telemetry proposal that they backed down from. There may be others I'm not aware of.

People keep repeating this mistake at all layers of the stack because they fail to see different layers as managing different sets of concerns and want to treat it as a monolith. A very recent and high level example of this is how the Matri

I don't know what GitHub projects uses but we have ~200 tickets in it and it absolutely chugs . Even typing text into new entries will regularly hang for multiple seconds every few words.

I feel like there's a way to directly derive the blockchain trilemma from the CAP theorem (or probably the more formal PACELC). Reasoning through it in my head makes sense so I've been saying that it's a corollary to CAP but

This wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. What if the crash wasn't just a crash but resulted in data corruption? And what if it took longer to stop the rollout and deploy a fixed version? How long would it have taken to

LLMs aren't logically reasoning through an axiomatic system. Any patterns of logic they demonatrate are just recreated from patterns in input data. Effectively, they can't think new thoughts.

To refine what I meant to say, much of the R&D they did was not directly productizable and was highly experimental. Which was only possible because of how insulated from external market forces the environment inside Bell Labs was. Thi

Except that's supporting the ego of a particularly questionable billionaire instead of being truly R&D for its own sake in advancing technology.

There's a lot of long tail issues with peripherals that still need to be worked out, to be fair. Sound wasn't enabled until fairly recently because they were still testing to ensure the drivers couldn't damage the hardware.
