> Supporting indigenous people and their rights to their native homelands is not xenophobic.

Xenophobia leads to the belief that white Danes need support for their rights to their native homeland.

It's not like this is some great battle to rise restitution for Native Americans, Maori or Aborigines.

It's about not having to see so many non-white faces in Copenhagen or London.

> Enforcing immigration laws is not ethnic cleansing.

That certainly depends on the law, and the enforcement.

More to the point: trampling nomadic sub- cultures, forcefully denying them access where they have lived for centuries, denying them their way of life - can certainly result in genocide ("the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group").

Don't necessarily disagree - I have premium because of Google Music (although the official app is now so bad I use Metrolist).

I don't see YouTube as a streaming service - more as a social(ish) video sharing/Indy publishing platform.

For things like conference talks or training techniques and so on.

If I had to watch ads, I'd stop using it.

And while I'm quoting:

MerriamWebster: Xenophobe

DHH:

> You can rest assured that I'd be in the streets waving a Danish flag if these were my conditions in my native country. I think that's a pretty universal sentiment. There's absolutely nothing racist or xenophobic in saying that Denmark is primarily a country for the Danes, Britain primarily a united kingdom for the Brits, and Japan primarily a set of islands for the Japanese.

I would say saying that is pretty much the definition of xenophobic.

Worse, in the context of DHHs rants, it comes off as racist - I don't get the sense he wants to throw out Norwegians from Denmark, for example.

Although shurly there are Norwegian migrants and foreign workers in Denmark.

Giving away for free things of value, contributing your work without compensation is a political action.

As for your trmnl project - how can you make your own software? Are the specs open? Do you use a free and/or open toolchain?

Is there are risk patents might deny you any of this?

Whole world is political.

For just the ads, there's also YouTube premium.

Sure you can. Click a user, see their comments, submissions.

I would say hn is in a group of systems that include Facebook.

It's true that contemporary commercial social media tends to be associated with these big corporate services that have already been thoroughly enshittified.

But they didn't start out that way - and alternatives are possible and desirable (hn, lobste.rs, many niche forums, IRC channels, discord servers[d] etc are proofs by example).

Maybe a loose definition would be communication system that leverage the network effect?

And good social media aligns with the end-user, and bad aligns with user-hostile forces?

[d]: (I don't particularly like discord, but it is much closer to a tool that does what I want: connect with people - than something like tick-tock or Facebook as it exists today)

If git push and pull go down - that truly is a worst case scenario. The website being down is just an annoyance by comparison.

I thought so too at first. Then I realized it was a comment on machine slop being thin, while artist produced dough with more substance. Or perhaps just more air, as if whipping in real eggs rather than just adding water to the readymade cake mix.

Hemingway might have a few words to say about that. Just a few, mind you. Not many.

There's no reasonable delay. The source code needs to exist before binary distribution.

When google distribute the compiled code to me, I assume the source is already available.

If distribution means I buy a phone with compiled code, I expect the sources to be readily available.

I distribution means my phone download updated software - I expect the code to be available.

Only lasts until google pushes out gpl in favour of fuchsia or something - so they can finally run away from the community code they built the android system on. Bit until then I fully expect them to actually honor the license...

Interesting. They really have a fraught history dealing with shell in a sane way:

When oxide provide your metal?

See also: Can gzip be a language model?

https://nathan.rs/posts/gzip-lm/

The loop and LLM is the runtime, the code on disk/in git is the external state - and the session (dumped and loaded as json) is the image.

The LLM terminal/chat is the repl, and the shell language is natural text input.

Something like that?

You could argue that a Claude code session also works like a lisp/smalltalk image.

Maybe the example numbers are just bad - but now you expect your system to fall down if you scale from 10 to 100 locations?

Thank you - especially for linking the article.

Interesting. But the styles chosen for hyperkitty displaying the archives is quite awful. Probably want either fixed width font or sensible reflow.

I found a lot of the points in the full post interesting - but I'm not sure I agree with everything.

In particular, I'd love access to:

> ... high-quality dedicated tamper-proof cloud servers, with trusted hardware root of trust (eg. “Verifiable Compute AI”)

for all my hosting needs. Meanwhile we see the typical information leaks of private ai chats ending up in Google searches etc.

Unfortunately it's a little far to go for coffee from Tromsø.

Surely checking once every three days is frequent enough to see an invite for a meetup that happens once every eight to ten weeks?

You say that as if the culture difference with a truly alien intelligence is insignificant compared to the culture difference with an "overseas person".

(Even assuming "intelligent" is a sensible label to apply to an LLM holding hands with a shell script in an infinite loop)

Worst part they're too easy to accidentally check in to source control - and they bring user/workstation dependent settings into the work tree, rather than tuck them away in something like $HOME/. config/appname/local.env

Maybe. How does the application unify different environment variables? Those inherited by the shell, those read from .profile, those set in the process that start the application (be that ./run.sh, a nodejs script, systemd etc...).

Autocorrect hates these neologistic company names...
