I would dare guess the author just doesn’t know there is a perfectly functional Windows native Ollama release. I was doing the same thing until I realized that it makes no sense because I can just install ollama on Windows and then connect to it from within WSL.


It probably has its advantages but until the UX reaches what we get with “docker run” this technology will never achieve its potential. When developing we need to think not only about what is possible but also how people do things currently and how does that compare to what we are proposing in terms of ergonomics. How many commands to get from 0 to hero with incumbent solution? How many with proposed solution? You get the point.


docker run is broken as of April 1, 2025

https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/usage/

100 pulls per 6 hours. I think each base layer counts. Also may have troubles with ip4 reuse. It was bad enough they delayed it a month: https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/22/docker_hub_pull_limit... https://github.com/search?q=%22docker+pull%22+limit&type=iss...

Better to use podman and build your own containers from Containerfile/Dockerfile (your own or open source ones, there are a ton on GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg that you can build yourself) and base layers.


That's not "broken". Docker Inc. is just rate-limiting access to their service. A service which, for what it's worth, has been used to bootstrap the technology required to sustain a pile of money for a lot of people.

There are other container repositories, and as you said, you can build your own containers and run those.


It's a dependency bottleneck that requires a pretty hefty amount of money ($9/mo) to get around


You can just host your own registry, or use a managed one like AWS ECR (which has a pretty good free tier).


One can use Google as a proxy, it isn't rate limited afaik

Can you please stop with the dramatic hyperbole first paragraph? What are you, a clickbait article headline writer?


I personally really like Bastille for jail management. It's way more ergonomic than creating jails by hand and allows you to focus on the stuff running in the jails rather than the jails themselves.


I believe FreeBSD has podman running on top of jails now, so that should... exist? I mean, you can still run jails directly like this, but the days of `podman run` are either here or imminent.



Reply didn’t say that the expert is uneducated, just that their tool is obsolete. Better look at facts the way they are, sugar coating doesn’t serve anyone.


But how will people find out about it? Part of what we lost is the Google of back then when content was king. Can you rank a desktop-only website nowadays?


I guess I envision this kind of site not being super growth/profit-motivated because I think that's just fundamentally at odds with high quality communities. HN does rank sometimes but not that often, and it's pretty highly trafficked. Also I never saw reddit show up in SERP until the past few years and they still grew a lot in that time.


This doesn’t take long to build with LLM but what I find challenging to make is a beautiful and intuitive form builder. Is there any such open source solution out there? I found this one but IMO it is not usable outside of the dev community without heavy customizing: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-form-builder2?activeTab=...


Not 100% on the nose with what you're looking for but I built Zigpoll (form builder for on-site surveys and forms) that may useful: https://www.zigpoll.com/


Touchscreens in cars should have been illegal to begin with it. How can it be that operating a cellphone is not allowed but operating a “tablet” is a necessity?


I hate this take because it's just doubling down.

Trying to legislate exactly what is and isn't in cars is exactly how we got touch screen everything in the first place.

I have less than zero faith that doubling down and adding another layer on top will not cause more perverse 2nd and 3rd order consequences.


No, it shouldn’t be illegal. If it is inferior, they will lose sales and money.


The automobile industry is one of the canonical examples of the market failing to deliver safety or efficiency until compelled to do so.

Ralph Nader in 1967, 57 years ago, interviewed by Studs Terkel:

<https://studsterkel.wfmt.com/programs/ralph-nader-discusses-...>

Direct audio: <https://s3.amazonaws.com/wfmt-studs-terkel/published/11364.m...> (MP3)

(The segment is excellent, and whilst in many ways a historical document also strongly informs the recent past, immediate present, and I strongly suspect the future.)


This is an amazing archive of interviews. The audio quality is astounding — you would think these were podcasts from this week. I enjoyed the 1959 discussion with Arthur C. Clarke as well: https://studsterkel.wfmt.com/programs/arthur-charles-clarke-...


It really is. To quote an earlier comment of mine, the interview archive is immense and diverse. It spans 45 years, from 1952--1997, ran 1 hour each weekday, and the interview guests range from the highly famous to street and school interviews. I've hit on a few gems in particular.

The AWS back-end could be browsed or downloaded directly via AWS tools a ways back, and was about 600 GB last I'd checked. You'll have to sort out your own directory of content, however. Much of what's in there still isn't included in the official directory, again, at last check, though that includes numerous fragments and partial-tape interviews.

It’s naive to think that cost cutting is leading to lost sales. People may in fact buy the inferior car because it’s more affordable and then end up driving something dangerous.


I believe their comment was about safety, not usability


> If it is inferior, they will lose sales and money.

I wish world would work like this. Unfortunately it does not.


Oh god another free-market nut job. Why are there so many on this forum? What you pay for doesn't have a consequence limited to yourself, as a road user something going wrong can have disastrous consequences for your passengers, other car drivers, buildings, expensive infrastructure, pedestrians etc..


Could you please make your substantive points thoughtfully and avoid name-calling and ideological battle? We're trying for curious conversation here.

I'm not playing Call of Duty mobile or watching YouTube on the screen on my head unit. I'm not scrolling TikTik or having a text message conversation on a head unit screen. If you think it's the same thing, you haven't actually driven a car with a screen before.


Because you're not thinking and blindly hating. Maybe try to learn and change how you use a car dash instead of trying to use a Tesla (or similar) like a car from 2005.. Teslas are best selling cars for many reasons and touchscreen dash is one of the most important ones.


I love Teslas but hate that feature.

Why would you want the most used features to be on a touchscreen?


Which ones?

Gear change: drive/park/reverse. Always using when stopped.

Music: has physical control to change + voice

Volume: same

Side mirrors folks: same + auto

Climate: profile + voice The only thing that I found I need to fiddle with touchscreen (one physical button -> one touch button) while driving is rear fog light. It's neither auto nor supported by voice.

It's an easy software fix; not sure why they didn't add it yet. The software even recognizes the command and says not available yet.


The most used features aren't only on a touchscreen. I feel like most of the people who make these comments have just not driven one.


Doesn’t look like parody to me, based on the original report in Japanese: https://coda-cj.jp/news/2124/


Using Cloudflare on your website could be blocking Safari users, Chrome users, or just any users. It’s totally broken. They have no way of measuring the false positives. Website owners are paying for it in lost revenue. And poor users who lose access for no fault of their own. Until some C-level exec at a BigTech randomly gets blocked and makes noise. But even then, Cloudflare will probably just whitelist that specific ___domain/IP. It is very interesting how I have never been blocked when trying to access Cloudflare itself, only blocked on their customer’s sites.


There is just one “little” problem which remains unsolved: how to make money while “not selling” calories? It’s easy to make money by selling more calories: you add sugars, artificial compounds leading to mental addiction, you invest in heavy marketing and expansive distribution channels. All of this makes your product available and desirable, a money printing machine, at the cost of society’s health and wellbeing. So until someone can answer the question of how to do the same without the side effect to society, unfortunately the majority will continue to suffer for the benefit of the very few.


There is no particular need for society to have an industry that sells unhealthy food. It can go the way of horses, would only be a net positive for society.


The old adage here applies:

"How do you sell ice to Eskimos?

You call it French ice."

Same kinda thing.

You call the net-negative calories: French calories or some other crap like that.


Who is 'you'?


You is the processed food industry.


Its a way for us to winnow out the weak willed


It would be just as true but much funnier if you said "sinners".


Sorry, but this is such a bad conspiracy, like flat earth level. You could look at history, at communist countries where there were not evil capitalist with evil ads and people still were eating 3 or more times a day and eating meat, eggs and other calories.

Or you are aware of some tribe that eats one every week and lives 150+ years or something like that ?


Since when do we post ads on HN?
