What did Google do to its Linux terminal on Pixel phones 3 by Steaglsz | 0 comments on Hacker News. You can't use the app without having the permissions "always on" for microphone and nearby divices I also think they changed the internal language because the terminal app used w3m up until the recent 753 mb forced-update. So after a few months of learning what w3m was, it wasn't even installed anymore in the freshly updated terminal app I also can't figure out what needs to be turned on/off to prevent the terminal app from crashing if I leave it idle for more than a few minutes The solution is to just use termux, but the pixel was a work horse when combined with the text based web. Now it's just a horse I have to prod with cd every few minutes to get back to where I was
Chamath says open AI models are "commoditize your complement." Agree? 2 by Dinuda | 1 comments on Hacker News. Chamath's argument (https://ift.tt/PCm0n28): companies give away the thing they dont sell for free, so the thing they do sell is worth more. Meta makes money though ads, Google and Microsoft from cloud. The losers are companies whose business is selling access to closed models. But still companies are paying more and mroe for closed models anyway! Does this theory hold up?
