We're not really "denying" anything when we are agreeing with reality..

You're not agreeing with reality because you haven't used FSD 14. You're making assumptions on headlines and older versions. And honestly, 95% of the time, people are making assumptions about FSD when, in reality, they're thinking about Autopilot.

Probably one of the dumbest decisions taken by a CEO?

Shutting down low-volume, complex project, that needs to be substantially redesigned to be competitive, while these resources can be redeployed elsewhere, in high growth areas? I disagree: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46805773

Linux is superlatively awesome

and I say that as a FreeBSD user.


And I say it as a Linux user. My story is breathing life into old hardware back in the 2010s without having to spend any money, and just enjoying the No Man's Sky style freedom of exploring a whole new world of how a desktop operating system could look in feel and work, unmoored from the background sickness of thinking everything I do is channeled into Microsoft telemetry.

If you're the type of person who's capable of falling in love with software and software ecosystems, there's nothing like a first jump into Linux and understanding it as a world ready and waiting for you.


FreeBSD user here too <3 Mainly because I think Linux is way too aligned (and developed by) big tech these days.

We have Netflix and Sun influence but the former is not really putting its stamp on it and the latter no longer exists (and evil Oracle has zero interest of course)

I prefer the OS aligned with users like me not the big cloud boys.


I would love to try FreeBSD but I'm too addicted to NixOS... If there was a way to have a NixOS-like declarative BSD system I'd give it a serious try.

I don’t know how it compares to NixOS, but it is trivial to configure your own installer.

FreeBSD is kinda declarative. A lot of it is (or can be) configured in a text file called rc.conf

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?rc.conf

It's not as completely declarative as Nix but it was never intended to be.


More like 3 files.

- /boot/loader.conf for kernel settings to be set only at boot

- /etc/sysctl.conf for kernel settings to be set anytime

- /etc/rc.conf for rest of configuration


Why does "optimizing finance" improve the efficiency in an engineering company? Seems to me like "optimizing finance" could be absolutely detrimental for the bottom line.

I guess I meant to say: "finance people optimize the company 's financials"

Surprised no one is mentioning BRL-CAD. This is exactly how BRL-CAD works! https://brlcad.org/

And are these really 2nd amendment advocates to begin with? They don't strike me as principled people in general.

That's MAGA, which is the overwhelming majority of the right in the United States.

I did the same for a media player with filtering. Works very well!

What I don't understand is how we let XMMS die?

Not sure why this is getting down voted. I remember how masks were proclaimed to be ineffective. I remember how masks were suddenly effective, but only available for medical personnel. Then when masks were available for everyone, they became mandated.

It's a great book. Phillip K Dick, there is no author like him.
