it already blocks users from Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Russia etc

Unless OpenAI goes with a very liberal definition of AGI, he's going to wait decades for AGI.

Omarchy and DHH are great, nice to see framework supporting them. hyprland is amazing too.

Once a contract is deployed on the blockchain, its source code is immutable. So before using a contract, check if it gives permission to its deployer (or any address) to change any state at will.

Note that some contracts act as proxy to other contract and can be made to point to another code through a state change, if this is the case then you need to trust whoever can change the state to point to another contract. Such contract sometime have a timelock so that if such a change occurs, there's a delay before it is actually activated, which gives time to users to withdraw their funds if they do not trust the update.

If you are talking about Oracle contracts, if it's an oracle involving offchain data, then there will always be some trust involved, which is usually managed by having the offchain actors share the responsibility and staking some money with the risk to get slashed if they turn into bad actors. But again, offchain data oracles will always require some level of trust that would have to deal with in non-blockchain apps too.

Would it be possible to have a specialized rust only dev or Reactjs only dev while getting rid of all other languages to minimize size of model?

my guess is it's just an electron app or chromium wrapper with an ollama wrapper to talk to it (there are plenty of free open source libs to control browsers).

Instead of Cursor I would recommend two open source alternatives that you can combine: https://www.continue.dev/ and https://github.com/cline/cline

Is this really the general sentiment on HN?

why not?

it says you can host it yourself and that he may offer a paid hosted plan in the future

is the server side open source too?

Is there an LLM with actual open source training code and dataset?

Looks great. Any plan to make it work in a browser instead of having to install an Electron app?

if I were him I would take the first flight to Moscow, can't trust the Australian government, they're a US vassal state, sabotaging their own economy and relationship with China to please the US. Safer to go an enemy state of the US in this case. There's a reason Snowden's still alive while all those Boeing and other whistleblowers are either dead or jailed.

> Off topic, but this is why many devs choose not to support Linux. Every distro is its own special snowflake

most DE use the same standards (dbus etc) so no

They still have one of the best AI tech now and for the foreseeable future (despite their woke filters) and a decent cloud platform. And of course as you say they have Ads but also Android. I do feel like they could do 100x better but I think they're still relevant innovation wise (and financially obviously).

The recent decline of Japan caused by American restrictions and vassalization is well documented, same for Germany.

This is true, but it's naive to believe that the App Store wasn't planned long before those 18 months and was written in just a couple of month before its release.

jQuery is amazing, still remember the joy of using it 20 years ago. That being said, React, Vue and similar are just better IMO to build and maintain complex apps. Don't get me wrong, jQuery was the best thing at its time and I will always be grateful to its contributors, but today there are better alternatives. I think htmx is nice but not seeing it taking over other frameworks.

I was paying for Netflix 10 years ago in France for a short while, wanted some English subtitles for my wife for some US shows but there were only subtitles in French so had to download the same show elsewhere if you know what I'm saying... with English subtitles readily available. I also remember watching some shows like the first two seasons but then only to find out the third season was licensed by another streaming service lol. Such a UX disaster for paying customers.

> Free software can be used for any purpose, including competing with the original authors. If you can’t do whatever you want with the software, it’s not free software.

That's like saying a free society can only be free when individuals are free to do anything they want including harming/limiting freedoms of other individuals. Well, no, most free society limits your freedom to harm other people or bans you from limiting other people's freedom. The AGPL prohibits you from limiting other people's freedom.

The intent is to ask for ID in order to connect to any website, the article already says that this law will apply to any video sharing site including facebook, twitter, tiktok and even mastodon...

Your average centralized crypto exchange.

And protected and funded by the US ;)

Is owning your body violence? Is your body your property? It needs violence to defend a property, but simply owning it is not violence.

for non political issues it should fine, eg to describe an algorithm or other non-controversial tech issues for example.

What app is not cross-platform? Even games are all using Unity now.

it's not their job to defend the peg on the open market (not to mention impossible by definition), their only product is the possibility to redeem each USDC for $1 through a circle account. We will see on Monday if they can deliver.

you should post publicly about this on a blog or social media if you can
