Could it be that google is relying too much on the input from the address bar?

Unlike new search engines, google doesn't have to scrape and analyze the web because Chrome shows them what people want when they are searching for a set of words.

Since Bing/DuckDuckGo doesn't have the same level of manipulation, I would assume that SEO spammers have managed to influence Google by faking browser feedback.

I would assume that there are thousands of artificial Chrome instances that fake active users and flood Google with wrong user feedback.
Aka "what could possibly go wrong?"

The words "surprised" and "unexpected" are especially disturbing when science meets weapon testing. ie. "Oops we were surprised people were made sick for the rest of their lives, this was unexpected, oh well sucks for them"

I wonder how many nuclear weapons have been tied to the internet these days. All the new "advanced fighters" are plagued by endless problems, why would nuclear missiles be any different.
It really didn't prove to be unacceptably destructive. That's an attempt to create a new narrative that sounds moderate and middle ground, but it's not based on anything. Free speech worked out just great and the internet went from nothing to a critical piece of everyone's lives in the span of about 20 years, on the back of more or less pure free speech policies. It's not an accident that the USA dominates internet services and Germany/Austria are left with 20th century industries like cars. That's the first amendment doing its job.
Adding to what nix23 said, it gets made political by those who cannot comprehend social norms and cultural differences outside of their own experience and can only interpret "different" as "antagonistic".

Yes, that’s another way of putting it.

But people usually look at this, relative to previous displays, not relative to peak brightness (since the peak brightness is not achievable for prolonged periods of time because of overheating)

Judging by excess deaths, Russia lost 1 million people to Corona[0]. The government's response is either nothing, or saber-rattling in Ukraine (depending whether you buy the view of their recent actions as a domestic distraction).

It's always been very difficult to overestimate the indifference of the Russian government to its own populace's well being, especially when they gain monetaraily and internationally from being indifferent.

I don’t mind celebrating releases or blog posts which share something technical or meaningful. I hate that i will have to see the same posts under the ‘X liked/shared this article’. And then you see constant celebrations of new positions, the same job ads under people’s shares and likes, people praising others (i guess this is an automated thing) and endorse skills, etc. And then memes and random posts sharing personal details and stories make total sense and explain why all social media news feed are terrible and the same applies to LI.
>That sounds like a usability nightmare.

sure but any email system should not have to request the capabilities to do any of these things, so basically if a message came in and it started requesting these capabilities - it would only be malicious messages that would do it.

Poll: Do you live in Silicon Valley?
The previous Poll about where people live ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30210378 ) was supposed to answer the question if HN is mostly used by people who live in Silicon Valley, but failed to include Silicon Valley as a location (closest option was California, but many people who live in California doesn't live in Silicon Valley) + had bunch of unrelated options that didn't need to be there.

Here is a poll that only tries to answer that question, and that question only.

"Live" as in main residence (spends most time of the year there).

"Silicon Valley" as in the Silicon Valley that is geographically located in the southern San Francisco Bay Area of California
Yes, I live in Silicon Valley
No, I don't live in Silicon Valley

To answer your third point. Indeed, each solution has its own positioning, which implies requirements and trade-offs. I don't know the positioning of Typesense and Quickwit so I would have difficulty speaking on their behalf. But I have the impression that Quickwit is the new Elasticsearch. In the long term, they will surely position themselves in front of them, put themselves on the log market, and why not of the security analysis. It is impossible to update or delete data makes me think of this. A system capable of managing terabytes of data with precise and fast tasks. Even if it is far from the need of instant search.

On our side, we have a clear focus on user-facing search. All searches can improve the user experience and increase user satisfaction and product retention. Use cases today are mainly E-commerce, marketplace, site-search, media, SaaS application, B2C applications. The needs for these use cases are the same. Search in a fixed data type with incredible relevance and performance.

Moreover, I want to underline this because I see that you mention it in your comments. At Meilisearch, we have made it a point of honor to offer a solution with the best possible developer experience. Everything we do (API, SDK, Documentation), we do it with developer experience in mind.
Add to this list, the exploratory ideas/projects that sometimes may be too small/early/fragile to share _because_ they're not well formed enough AND the team/place/company culture doesn't want/know how to handle it (recognizing the fragility of early ideas and not tainting them when it's not well-formed enough, leaving time/space for research/experimentation, tolerating failures).

Considering it's supposed to live on as a white label service, and partners such as Ubisoft were adding games as recently as a few months ago (Far Cry 6), it's highly unlikely the service will be completely shut down soon. Keeping it for now without much investment into improvements is more probable.

Disclaimer: I've been using Stadia for more than a year now, on the Stadia Pro tier, and have probably around a hundred games ( of which I've bought ~10). I'm quite happy with it, Red Dead Redemption 2 was marvelous to play on it.
You do realize that serious mental illness would make you think that you really confirmed with friends that those ads are real even when they are not?

They sound so outlandish and insane (poems using your name) that I am sceptic.

You should screenshot and compile those ads in form of a blogpost or on twitter.

I am rather mentally ill and all I get are ads for those useless chatbot apps and meditation apps.

Don't piss off bards.
Exactly. I wouldn't ask specifically if someone had a problem at home. I asked how they were doing and then I used whatever they told me to try and improve/ease their situation.

It's not easy for everyone to ask for extra flexibility or time off. When you have this open conversation space, that one-on-ones provide, it becomes very natural to make room for people's lives.
The word censorship usually means removed for political reasons, not commercial disputes. It's obvious from the list that these episode removals are targeting very specific kinds of people, in an attempt to prevent people hearing their ideas. It's censorship by Spotify and it's disgusting and immoral - a complete failure to learn the lessons of the past.

Sure. I don't think the author would claim that this approach is the only way to get noticed and/or a job. I certainly won't. But this one is cool, because at the very least you did something and you honed other important skills along the way.

> As for your last point, how can someone tell if they're talking to the right person?

What I meant and could have made clearer was: As the ones building and showing, it's entirely our choice to be honest about it. When it comes to spotting someone who is not, having more experience in doing and showing also helps on that front.

This is a tired subject.

People bitch when Google doesn't innovate, and moan when the experiments fail.
Controlling RGB LED Strips with a Single Function
I guess they are trying their chances with RCS (Rich Communication Services) which is a standard rather than a service.

And now let me just get this out of me: Google is really bad at naming things. "Hangouts" is too casual, "Meet" is too confusing (it's sounded more like an outdoor activity planer), and I don't even know what Duo or Allo means (I'm not even interested to look it up).

Just call it "Chat" or "Chat service", Google, and then sit on it really REALLY steady.
This doesn't indicate "bad practice". At their scale they can run these experiments for no other reason than to let people feel ownership of a project and gain experience. If even only succeeds, that's a bonus.

They don't reduce the risk at all, so the benefit is zero. Do you engage in pointless security theatre when running your servers and say "job done"?
I've always wanted an application dedicated to managing the clipboard. It would provide security and even offer interchange conversion that existing apps do not implement. For example: Copying HTML in Windows it has an associated mime type that receiving applications can recognize and choose to convert from.

I've always wanted a clipboard/paste manager - with history - like this, that would allow me to copy, manipulate, and paste or share that data to another application.

I don't know how this would look, but even the ability to pop open my paste manager and look at the copied contents, filter it, or split the text, or (silly stuff) convert text to emoji'fied content, or take a screenshot of that (text to bitmap), and create a new entry within the paste manager. For some of my friends it would be awesome to have a hex editor in there.

Perhaps there are 2 focuses: Isolating what is copied from applications until the user chooses to expose it, and the history function. Being able to send it to another app for manipulation and pulling it back is a 2nd responsibility. It would be /suave/ to have this all in the same GUI brought up by the compositor, though.
> OK. So are you now retracting your previous claim that "vaccines do not prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2"?

Why should I? It is true, because I was infected after getting vaccinated by someone who was vaccinated as well. There is a lot of data that suggests the same.

> Since you previously believed that they were not effective at all, which is 100% wrong, maybe you are not the ideal person to make that judgement call?

No, I didn't. Don't twist my words. I don't respond to ad hominems and after all you asked me for that answer.

Yes, but not by mandating SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. I am sure we will see such questions being clarified in courts soon.
It's hard to understate how much "time to play" makes the switch enjoyable. I can return to a game I was playing, exactly where I was, in about 3 seconds. Even if I've not touched the switch in days or weeks! The system level pause/resume makes it so I can quickly jump into a game whenever I have time, even if it's just 10 minutes.

Contrast that to my ps4 experience and it is a world away. Takes at least a minute to get to home screen, then there's usually gigabytes of updates to download. Sometimes it might be _hours_ before I can start the game I wanted to play.

I'm not sure if the latest generation of xbox/ps have solved this. Combimed with the supply issues of the new generation consoles, I've not been too keen on getting one because my switch has sufficed
Heh, this seems like a case of different people having completely opposite experiences.

Had to work on an Angular project or two, they were largely passable and didn't cause too many problems. Admittedly felt a bit close to writing back end code at times, even - pretty boring and predictable. In Angular the type system was also reasonably easy to use, even with things like non-nullable/nullable/optional values etc.

Had to work on a few React projects, the JavaScript ones were pleasant to work with and develop (seriously, React's functional components are an amazing time saver for display components), but as soon as you introduced TypeScript and Redux as well as plenty of hooks and even custom hooks, it went down the drain.

Perhaps that's a bit what you're experiencing with RxJS, which adds a ton of complexity in of itself - being able to start with just Angular and go from there (or in my case - using MobX instead of Redux which is just so much nicer to use) might have been more passable.

Actually made a sibling comment like this, though it's not as detailed as i'd like: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30220131

But hey, good luck with bending Angular to your will! If nothing else, i can acknowledge many codebases out there being a mess!

I never said that my computer would run forever. I simply stated that it would fall into an infinite loop. You could argue that cosmic rays could cause a bit flip to get the computer out of an infinite loop, but that it is out of scope.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that my comment should apply literally to all cases. I am just pointing out to parent that particles can be indistinguishable in principle, and not just as a technological limitation of our measurements. Moreover, there is an experimental way to tell the difference between distinguishable and indistinguishable, roughly based on the difference between probabilities and amplitudes. To dig deeper one must look at the details, e.g. in Feynman's lectures vol. III.

The statement that protons are indistinguishable is not strictly correct either, because protons have a spin. Protons with the same spin are indistinguishable, but you can tell apart protons with different spin. The spin of protons can only assume two values, so effectively there are two classes of protons, indistinguishable within the class.

In your specific case, it is clearly false that the probability of having one particle in one place is 200%. However, my statement still holds for expectations, and you end up with an expected two particles in one place. In the indistinguishable case, you must compute expectations based on amplitudes, not probabilities.
Note that what i refer to is not about breaking any standard API but adding a secondary one that is explicitly about secret/sensitive stuff. Current applications will of course be still using the clipboard but the situation wont be any worse than it currently is and new applications as well as applications currently active development can be made to use the new one, so things can be better.

IMO this is a much better approach and way more likely to be adopted than anything that breaks existing applications and workflows.

Also while people use passwords as an example, this is just an example. What you are copying can be some secret government-issued number (that you can't replace with anything else), some sensitive photo or anything else that you want to be exact at both ends of the operation.

If the source of the data to be placed in the secure clipboard (for lack of a better name) is some encrypted storage (like a local secrets manager) or a plain text file is irrelevant here.
No really, Kristallnacht (Nov 1938) was nowhere near the first step, and people died that day.

Seriously, you're being incredibly offensive comparing Joe Rogan to what happened in Kristallnacht, and it's not ok to spread this online.

---

The first steps were easily 1933 if not earlier, though to be fair modern propaganda was new then, and it's more understandable if people didn't understand the risks.

From Wikipedia:

Conditions for German Jews began to change after the appointment of Adolf Hitler (the Austrian-born leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party) as Chancellor of Germany on 30 January 1933, and the Enabling Act (implemented 23 March 1933) which enabled the assumption of power by Hitler after the Reichstag fire of 27 February 1933.[14][15] From its inception, Hitler's regime moved quickly to introduce anti-Jewish policies. Nazi propaganda alienated 500,000 Jews in Germany, who accounted for only 0.86% of the overall population, and framed them as an enemy responsible for Germany's defeat in the First World War and for its subsequent economic disasters, such as the 1920s hyperinflation and subsequent Great Depression.[16] Beginning in 1933, the German government enacted a series of anti-Jewish laws restricting the rights of German Jews to earn a living, to enjoy full citizenship and to gain education, including the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of 7 April 1933, which forbade Jews to work in the civil service.[17] The subsequent 1935 Nuremberg Laws stripped German Jews of their citizenship and prohibited Jews from marrying non-Jewish Germans.

These laws resulted in the exclusion and alienation of Jews from German social and political life.[18] Many sought asylum abroad; hundreds of thousands emigrated, but as Chaim Weizmann wrote in 1936, "The world seemed to be divided into two parts—those places where the Jews could not live and those where they could not enter."[19] The international Évian Conference on 6 July 1938 addressed the issue of Jewish and Romani immigration to other countries. By the time the conference took place, more than 250,000 Jews had fled Germany and Austria, which had been annexed by Germany in March 1938; more than 300,000 German and Austrian Jews continued to seek refuge and asylum from oppression. As the number of Jews and Romani wanting to leave increased, the restrictions against them grew, with many countries tightening their rules for admission. By 1938, Germany "had entered a new radical phase in anti-Semitic activity".[20
One thing I've sometimes seen on HN is a misunderstanding of law vs light touch regulation.

If you live in an oppressive regime they tell you what you're allowed to do and everything else is banned.

If you don't live in an oppressive regime they have a set of behaviours that they'll claim are unambiguously bad, which they criminalise. But there's a gap between the stuff that criminalised and the stuff that's perfectly fine. In this fuzzy border the government is saying "this stuff is possibly okay, or possibly harmful, but we're not going to criminalise it until we get better evidence or until the voters tell us to. We expect you to behave in a socially responsible way."

Currently online services in the UK are subject to light-touch regulation. This means that they need to take some social responsibility for the content and set their own limits.

They also show that they haven't learnt the lesson of GDPR.

Online services need to set sensible limits to what they allow on their platforms or UK government will happily impose onerous burdensome regulation upon them.

This is a slow process but online services need to make sure they're not mistaking "slow" for "won't happen".

Indeed for the moment, I would not advise going to more than a few million documents, especially if you want to make regular updates. With the new update that we will release in March, I think we will go up to a few tens of millions of documents with much higher update frequencies. However, we keep in mind that Meilisearch should do much, much more. This will be a work in progress for us during the year, as we plan in the future to allow Meilisearch to be no longer a search binary with limited resources but as a globally distributed solution that will have no limits to scale. But it's still too early to talk about our long-term plans on how we will improve user-facing search. #serverless
