It is more like a "design by committee" issue to me. The decisional structure needs to be built for some opinionated decision. When you have a committee there is not one clear thing they are solving for as everyone has an agenda to tug the language towards their own interests. The result of that can certainly be inaction because it is easier to say no than yes.

Yes and honestly super kudos to paru's creator for the nagging warning about installed orphan packages that made me remove them immediately.

So with a dozen of various systems running arch/cachyos for various purposes, 0 impact.

We seriously dodged a bullet though, should we have some kind of AI spotting shady activity before it hits the userbase?

I don't think it is surprising. Loading entire chrome processes for simple super laggy UIs is just unbearable.

TUI are snappy, accessible over ssh, small screen friendly, easily embeddable in zellij or other multiplexers, easy to copy paste from... Amazing.

Oh no ... Sweet summer child. Whatever the revenue is, whatever profit there is, whatever cash buffer any corporate has, you can be sure of one thing: they need this to go up and to the right...

It became almost a perfect science to optimize your behavior: this is why you end up, bit by bit with enshitiffied products all around you where basically the pain of using that product is just at the threshold of you actually bashing it against the wall.

ChatGPT is just one of them, like Google search, your TV serving ads or ...

What are you talking about. Read part 107. Flying a drone is almost as hard as flying legally a private plane. Fines are huge. They are enforced.

The real question is "why not?" :)

A crime?! Please people I don't even know what happened here but removing some bitmap support is a crime now for a maintainer of an open source piece of code? You are not happy with the project then where is your fork so we can assign some crimes to you and get out of our way to not recommend it? (Note: I am not affiliated at all with the project and I don't even know what happened but you really need to take a breather, no one forced you to use kitty)

Still improving copper-rs! https://github.com/copper-project/copper-rs a rust first robotics runtime and operating system. It allows you to target your algorithms for both a traditional OS and embedded targets with a perfectly deterministic replay. Our users are from all over the autonomous systems spectrum: AMRs, humanoids, drones, self driving... If you are a rust enthusiast wanting to test the robotics waters or a robotics rust curious. Come and join us!

A trusted website that compiles it from source and a way for you to go to a webpage and flash from there automatically. The FPV community does that all the time with a set of websites for their ESC, flight controllers, radio, all open source. You can add signatures etc but just a trusted website goes a long way vs a random blob preinstalled

You don't want to add untrusted binary download sources in your Linux system. Your distrib is already doing that. This is not strictly about "downloads from the internet" of course

Author here, we also have a simple cart-pole demo available https://cdn.copper-robotics.com/demo/balancebot/index.html

Here: 20 years of desktops and laptops basically installing the latest kernel asap on Gentoo then Arch. I did break stuff, especially Gentoo, a lot... but out of those I maybe got hit once by a kernel regression?

I don't think people realize how long it takes for the kernel to eventually catch up with your hardware.

My one year old framework laptop motherboard STILL don't have properly implemented usb-c PD apis in the kernel today. Imagine if I took a 5y old kernel?

Didn't the silicon valley basically bootstrapped with defense contracts?

I'd LoVE to look into it but the news website is pure cancer ads before the video, no sound clock on sound that triggers another ad to you clock back, it restart an ad and you scroll a little bit and a top ad pops up while the bottom one is still there with like 3 words of the article readable.

I am sorry I am out.

I clearly remember Cuda being made for HPC and scientific applications. They added actual operations for neural nets years after it was already a boom. Both instances were reactions, people already used graphics shaders for scientific purposes and cuda for neural nets, in both cases Nvidia was like oh cool money to be made.

This seems stupid but after evaluating Claude vs Codex, this problem alone made me pick Codex.

If I cannot follow what the thing is doing the tool becomes useless and expensive.

I use Kitty + zellij, I love TUIs and use them all over the place, this is the only tool I know with this issue.

Sharing some of my journey with AI coding agents for robotics applications.

What is your experience? what works? what is not? any tools you recommend?

I agree it is about "what the code is technically doing" vs why which is "what external factor you need to understand to read this"

Shouldn't we try vibe coding on IR then? Basically assembly before compiler optimizations?

In robotics too.

Feels like a startup idea: "where do you want to go?" And it generates a virtual life for you compatible with the current despot.

It doesn't improve readability for sure but for me it comes across way worse as "I don't have time for this, deal with it" because all of the people I know doing that are self-important executives.

English is a second language for me and I feel really bad when I impose a grammar mistake or a badly put together sentence to my readers!

So for me pushing that on purpose is borderline insulting to the reader ie. suffer so I don't have to press the shift key, this extra effort is below me.

Yeah but this is basically people with the same social circle and religion etc...

Feels like the tragedy of the commons: I don't want to look at the change, I don't want to take responsibility, somebody else will take care or it, I just have to wait.

Ok if this is an amazing advice and the entire ecosystem does that: just wait .... then what? We wait even more to be sure someone else is affected first?

Every time I see people saying you need to wait to upgrade it is like you are accumulating tech debt: the more you wait, the more painful the upgrade will be, just upgrade incrementally and be sure you have mitigations like 0 trust or monitoring to cut early any weird behavior.

Guess why it was asymmetrical in the first place ... Telcos wanted to sell the upload bandwidth to streaming companies. Another double dipping Telco monopoly squeeze and customer boxing / enshitification from very early on.

Yet another impressive rust/ratatui tool! I am really a fan of those projects (kudos to Orhun). At Copper Robotics we use it for our monitoring console, it is so easy to just ssh on a robot and get all your monitoring state in super snappy TUI screens instead of web stuff.

Or zenoh?

Please elaborate.

Simple enshitification, literally everything is going down that road. Somewhere a VP with a dashboard is super happy: they will get their $1M bonus and "après moi le déluge".

Even local businesses get snatched by PE firms left and right, prices skyrocket, customers are pissed....

Is the business-consumer relationship valued at exactly $0?

There is no system we can think of to avoid that?

Anti intellectualism is absolutely not new in the US. There is a kind of group think that is basically self reassuring themselves that "our ignorance is better than your knowledge".

There is nothing you can do about this. The more you try to educate people the worse people fall back to it.
