New ask Hacker News story: What did Google do to its Linux terminal on Pixel phones

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

New ask Hacker News story: Chamath says open AI models are "commoditize your complement." Agree?

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?

We need to deobligate humans from reading generated content 4 by retetr | 0 comments on Hacker News. Contract law is currently being abused in the U.S. see (Disney says man can't sue over wife's death because he agreed to Disney+ terms of service)[https://ift.tt/SFgwfLZ] If the average individual can't even keep up with current (regional laws)[https://ift.tt/RoNlcp6] why should they also be subjected to generated agreements?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Is anybody producing good code with coding agents?

Ask HN: Is anybody producing good code with coding agents? 4 by ruffrey | 4 comments on Hacker News. This is a genuine problem that I hear from senior engineers. I'm looking for a solution. -- The quality of ai-generated code is (claude, agy, copilot, codex a little better). It's exhausting to read. I used to love learning from my experienced colleagues and taking pride in what we made. We spent time on elegance and craftsmanship. Now I spend nearly the whole workday slogging through convoluted code riddled with footguns. I ride on hopes and dreams I might understand a changeset. It takes 5x longer to review Claude merge requests and I barely understand what I approve. Each day I drift further from understanding as I shovel the same into the codebase. The solution seems to be, reach "level 4 autonomy" and don't read or write code anymore. -- WHO HAS SOLVED THIS PROBLEM? PLEASE HELP!

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: OVH price increase for dedicated servers

Tell HN: OVH price increase for dedicated servers 2 by esher | 2 comments on Hacker News. Since October 1 the OVH price increase also applies to running dedicated servers, at next renewal. A Reddit user posted that their two servers went up 54% in 11 months, no grandfathering. OVH's own post: an Advance-1 Gen 2024 renews at $114.99 instead of $89.99 (+28%). RAM options on new orders are up 68% to 652%, the Game range up to 87%. The stated reason is DDR5 costing six times what it did a year ago. Hetzner did the same in February and June, both threads had 500+ points here. I run a small PHP hosting company, so I am biased. But I wonder: Who here still runs OVH or Hetzner dedicated boxes?

New ask Hacker News story: GitHub can f..k you and you are forced to love it. or live with it...

GitHub can f..k you and you are forced to love it. or live with it... 5 by anonymous_frust | 1 comments on Hacker News. In January, Hytale launched in alpha. The owner said: “We officialy support mod” and “As long as the code isnt obfuscated you can decompile it.” Those were his words. I was on the official Discord, among thousands of players wanting to create servers and mods. Everyone wanted to move fast. I saw an opportunity. A huge wave I could surf. So I decompiled the server JAR and started creating comprehensive modding documentation. Three sleepless nights. Two more days. Twenty coffees. My reverse-engineering skills, boosted by AI, working overtime. Finally, it was ready. I published it on GitHub and shared it with the community. Developers thanked me. Two people joined the project. Then I woke up on Sunday morning. Account suspended. Both collaborators? Suspended too. GitHub said my account had been suspended for violating the rules. No specific rule. No explanation. I’m a...
