Discussion [Meta] Subreddit rules now updated

8 Upvotes

The rules which were proposed in my community discussion thread posted five days ago have now been officially added to r/HaikuOS. Some have small changes and are all shown below.

The new additions are as follows:

Rule #3: "No blog-spam, low-effort posts, or indirect links."

Posts must be submitted using their original source as the link.

Software projects must also be submitted using their official software repository or official website if one exists and contain a post describing it in the comments or thread body (e.g., don't just post a link or image and nothing else).

If posts are considered to be blog-spam or otherwise low-effort (including AI summarization) in nature they are subject to be removed.

Desktop screenshots and hardware photos are permitted.

Rule #4 "AI/LLM-Assisted Disclosures"

AI/LLM/Vibe-coded assisted software projects are currently accepted within this subreddit.

However, we ask that you add a footnote within your post to disclose where it is used in your project. (e.g., translations, assisted in coding, etc.)

If it is mostly AI/LLM-coded, are you able to properly maintain it?

Additionally, the Self-promotion rule has been updated for easier clarification on what is considered excessive promotion.

Self promotion, such as a developer or content creator interested in promoting their Haiku related creation, is permitted.

However, if you are mostly posting your projects and/or websites while rarely interacting with r/HaikuOS as a whole, outside of those threads, the self-promotion can be considered excessive in nature and may be removed.

Please actively participate in the subreddit as a whole.

Non-Haiku related promotion is not permitted.

As with everything, questions and respectful discussion regarding the changes are always welcome.

Specifically, since AI/LLM can be a hot topic, I'm still looking for more feedback on the best way to adjust that rule to everyone's liking as I only received a few comments in the previous discussion.

Development Where is sqlite3.h?

6 Upvotes

I installed sqlite3 via HaikuDepot and I found the library to link against. But running find /boot -name “sqlite*.h” comes up with no hits.

Google ai says to install sqlite3_devel but that doesn’t appear to exist (anymore).

What am I missing?

Unable to install Haiku

8 Upvotes

Hi, I have an i5 8th generation HP PC. I have been unable to install Haiku. The USB works fine, the install seems to work fine, but when I reboot my computer it tells me to insert a bootable disk. I've followed the instructions closely, installing the MBR first, or last, but somewhere I am missing something. Any advice?

Why use Home Assistant to control your garden lights when you can use Haiku? ☺️
