I don't know for other European countries, but in France a lot of people call them "Cartes de crédit" AKA Credit cards, even though, like you said, they are actually debit cards for 95% of people, so this adds to the confusion

You pay a deposit with your debit card and get it refunded afterwards ?

I am just wondering where do they get the money to keep pushing out big content updates like this

You should post it as a top level comment, I finally understood the situation exactly here.

Since having my HN account I always read LWN articles shared here, but this has convinced me to finally subscribe !

What does the malloc or hardware do if for some reason your program needs to access memory addresses that overlap your tag bytes ?

I know that it's a really improbable scenario and the OS would also just refuse you allocations at some point, but what would the malloc implementation and the MTE do in such a case ? Fail the allocation ? trap when reading the pointer since it would point to the "wrong place" ?

I agree that "author cares" and "author doesn't care" is a very important distinction.

But to me vibe coded is about reading/editing the code. If all your code modifications are by prompt, it is vibe coded by definition.

Yeah, not the one you are responding to, but I wouldn't define it as from scratch.

Personally, "know how to code" is basically having the logic an reasoning skills to read and understand and apply documentation for whatever subject you need for this job.

If you have never written a web app in your life, but you can follow next.js tutorials and customize them beyond the tutorials afterwards, then you're at the point where the only thing you need is more time or more docs based on what you need to do at work.

That's why the eu AI act makes every person affected by an AI decision in most relevant industries entitled to a human explanation.

I want to set up something like this, but I would rather use something integrated with Home Assistant

I have been using it for a couple of years. Not always using all the features but it is at least a good carddav server to synchronize your contacts and auto add birthday reminders to your calendar via caldav as well.

So, simply a *centralized* database?

Like a plain old database ?

"NFT without the Blockchain" is a weird thing to say

Personally, I only have success with coding agents if it's for filling in some design I already engineered and half-implemented (like added interfaces and method declarations for example)

I feel like this is the best way to condition the agent, I don't have much success trying to do it via the prompt only

I would love for the omarchy shell to be distro-agnostic, just some dotfiles and binaries you can copy to whatever distro if you have all of the required software

Website dedicated to public and private data breaches in France : frenchbreaches.com/

For government services, they are getting more and more common, it's scary.

After re-reading, it only specifies the packaging manufacturer is the producer when they are in the same member state as the seller.

If the seller sells to other member states I don't know

There is a diagram on page 12 that says companies that use unbranded packages OR that use branded packages but are micro entreprise are not considered as "producer" of the package

Honestly same, BUT if those 8M go towards financing Linux desktop projects I'm all for it.

I heard about omarchy a while ago but didn't think it was this big !

I am proudly a Bazzite user, and honestly I think for the average end user an immutable atomic distro is better, but more money to the Linux desktop is always a win !

For some research I looked up some very old Reddit threads a couple of days ago.

And, Oh my god, you can actually see how this style of writing influenced AI writing today, I constantly had to remind myself: "this was posted before ChatGPT released".

The reddit influence is especially true for "storytelling" writing.

I encountered a BTRFS filesystem corruption today, nothing too heavy, it got recovered by a repair (even tough I don't know what caused it, memtest is clean and ssd is also clean), but while researching about it I was surprised to see Louis Rossman's business website show up !

> Lower end devices will take more time to meet our requirements since the updates and security features aren't as good. It's mostly due to how Qualcomm handles it. The latest Snapdragon flagships have the best security features. We'll also need Motorola to start paying them for longer updates below flagships

Hi since you are here, I find tangled amazing and I really hope it succeeds.

Since you are here, do you have any updates about the issue of issues and PRs living in the author's PDSs and not on the knot ? (Which also acts as the repository's PDS if I am not mistaken)

    >  As time goes on we are re-assessing the idea of users owning what is "collaborative data" (issues, PRs, etc.) on their PDSes - soon may come the day that an issue also lives on the knot as a source of truth, with an accompanying pointer record on user PDS to attest that it's theirs.

While private repos are usefull, I do not think that is tangled's main proposal at all.

I am just thinking you do not like tangled because you don't use the social features of github and so don't see the point here. I can understand that, but then tangled is just not for you ?

And yeah ATProto is not the next thing, but IMO having a portable identity and services that can act as "one big single app" are requirements for a modern social protocol to do applications like Twitter,Instagram, and github's social features for example, ATProto is just the one that does it better imo for now.

But again since you are always bringing on private repos, I think tangled is just not for you since the ATProto model is for open data and so fits open source projects really nicely I think.

Oh I meant that as part of tangled, you can "control" your issues and PRs because they are on ATProto and just like any ATProto record can be hosted on any PDS you like and still be interoperable.

But after looking a bit more into it, they are still following the same model as Bluesky in that the author of an issue or comment or PR is the owner of the resource, and it lives on their PDS, but they are considering changing that (and I hope they do it soon) by having the record be created on the repo PDS (so the knot basically) and a pointer record on the user's PDS proving they are the author.

ATProto has all that's required to do so, so I hope they do it soon, they are still in alpha after all but I find the interoperability very promising because you can have independent code hosting regardless of the opinions of forge X (which I think is the main reason why people move away from GitHub), but still be a part of an interoperable ecosystem that acts just like it is a single platform.

I don't think you understood. You can still get a feature complete social experience that is NOT ISOLATED from anyone.

Your GitHub Enterprise comparison is wrong, because with an onprem github entreprise you don't have the social github features (and that's the whole point of tangled, use something else if you want a private forge for your company, it's not for this purpose)

My point is, Tangled being on ATProto, you can still access all of the repos, PRs and issues of other people by looking through your self-hosted appview even if the official appview is down, because an appview, is just that, an "app *view*" It's the view layer in your traditional app, and ATProto is the database.

It's a view of the data on the ATProto network, it is not the data holder, everyone can be their own data holder that is visible through any appview.

> downtime and self-hosting is not a reason most people are convinced to move forges, it takes a lot to get someone there

Yes, I agree, but I personally think tangled is great because of the interoperability

People on codeberg, on gitlab, on github, on self-hosted gitea instances, on self hosted gitlab instances, and so on, all control their issues, PRs, and git repos (they run on their own infra) but they are also more independent, are not subject to a central platform's policies (or are subject to the one they prefer) and so on, and they also introduce contributor friction, you need separate accounts, it can be difficult to cross reference issues and PRs accross projects on different forges, users can't easily have a central feed of project they starred.

On tangled you get to have the first part (freedom) while not having the second downside (unique account, cross-references work seamlessly, etc...)

Give me reasons open source projects moved forges away from github, and I am pretty sure if tangled did exist when they did so it would fit more boxes of "why they left" than their target forge.

The difference with GitHub is you can also use it if the main instance is down if you self host. (And again self hosting still gets you the interconnection benefits just like if everyone was on tangled.org)

What does "forcing" mean here ?

If you want to build an alternative Knot implementation (git Hosting) you can use anything as long as the API is compatible ?

Same for all of the parts of Tangled really

Also, even if it's down, unlike GitHub you can self host your own AppView so it's never down for you

I really hope more people would use Tangled (https://tangled.org/)

You get:

   - Self hosting your git hosting (if you want)

   - Self hosting your issues/PRs (if you want)

   - Self hosting your CI (if you want)

   - Github-like social features (I have one account, I can follow, star, add issues and PRs to any repo on tangled)

It's built on ATProto, so even if the company disappears, all of the integration and features will still work for anyone that wants to run their own AppView (that is open-source), an AppView is basically the UI/Network-wide Data Aggregator for ATProto apps

What does it even mean to "win the AI race" ?

Right now there are many providers providing different tradeoffs, for different usages.

Would "winning" mean releasing an all-purpose better model that will outperform every other companies for all kind of tasks ? Something like AGI but cost effective ?

Or is it winning the consumer-side AI race ? Like making a kind of "super personal AI assistant" the likes you would see in movies and TVs ?

I'm not arguing, I am just struggling to understand what it usually means when somebody says that, it's not like competitors will go bankrupt the second OpenAI/Anthropic/Whatever does something specific.
