Based on the title, I assumed this would be about how the consumer could grasp and then counter-utilize the pricing differences these algorithms produce.

For example, understanding that you are being “targeted” by these algorithm for premium extraction and taking measures such as spinning up VPNs, clearing cache/history, etc to save the consumer from overpaying.

Seems like a good market for such a product would exist…

Kind of cuts against their argument that Claude is a supply chain risk. Brilliant move by Dario in allowing USG access to this - will make it difficult for the political hacks to argue about security risks at trial.

Separate from the content of the article, it’s a sad day when journalists now seem to tacitly acknowledge that their articles are essentially “I asked AI a question and here’s what it told me.”

Is this the future?

Is there not a plugin that helps to fix this?

Is it not possible to collar the amount of RAM a browser tab is able to use? If not, would love for someone to develop this!

Not so sure about this. The level of configurability in AB is significantly less than what is available in established platforms like Jamf, Addigy, etc. The AB offering seems squarely targeted at smaller orgs, and may be a great fit, but is nowhere near as mature as a midsize/enterprise customer would need.

That said, who knows where this will go in the coming years.

Agree with this 100%. The article reads as a super gatekeepy “he made different choices than me so I’m going to trash it and him” piece. The author’s perspective seems to be “how dare he use bash scripts! REAL programmers use system level languages”. Come on buddy.

Author claims there is no structure to the project but one look in the GitHub repo says there clearly is. Also, how many users will now try Arch (or Ubuntu via Omakub) as a result of this? If the answer is a positive number and DHH wants to put his time and weight behind it, that’s a good thing.

This is why I love HN. One post about advanced SQL ACID concepts, the next about mathematics, yet another about history.

What a community.

This is the way. What legitimate interest could Subaru have in maintaining this much data about their customers?

What not many people talk about in the comments is how the hardware route is fairly stacked against smaller players. Large enterprises buy the same hardware as small and midsize businesses at a fraction of the cost, which significantly impacts the economics of this decision. Even if you have the capability and desire, if each server costs your business double what an enterprise would pay, it becomes less attractive pretty quickly.

With all the talk of X11 and .NET and Swift, has anyone considered that an embedded browser might function as a better desktop experience? Suppose Linux/Windows/Mac expose a browser that renders pages from somewhere in their file system as the “desktop”. To customize your desktop, just change the HTML/CSS/JS - easy. For bonus points, strip out a bunch of the clunky code supporting rendering the existing UIs to lean out the Os footprint.

Wouldn’t this be a bit better than what we are stuck with now?

Uncancelable until they are dns blacklisted that is
