For one, people still had the decision to download Chrome even if it was advertised heavily. Apple forces Safari on all their iOS users since all the browsers have to use WebKit.
> ...provide a list of ways that the space could be improved.

It can't be improved, since crypto has failed at absolutely everything it has tried to improve already.

Too volatile to be used as payments.

Not even decentralised (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)

Not a store of value or digital gold.

Not a hedge against inflation

Most 'DeFi' applications don't have any actual usecase.

Stablecoins aren't even stable and have in fact crashed.

And there is no real usecase for blockchain, crypto, web3 or whatever that improves greatly of what the current system has already.

My concerns with ostensibly privacy-focused Firefox forks:

* Needing to constantly monitor whether the fork is being actively maintained, or if it's a vanity project which abruptly stops/slows down updates when its owner/principal contributors lose interest.

* Needing to constantly monitor if the fork is using the latest official Firefox builds to make sure that it's also getting the latest security updates.

* Not being readily able to see a complete humanly understandable (meaning not just comparing git versions) list of changes that the fork makes to the official build.

* Not knowing the reputation of the developers behind the fork.

In sum, I basically trust Mozilla more than I do $random_fork_developer, so I use the official build and carry out my own tweaks, but I am always on the look out for more tweaks, which is why I'd appreciate if lists of privacy tweaks custom builds do were more transparently shared.
Chrome was forked from WebKit but had been it’s own engine for a very long time at this point. They share ancestry but are pretty different.

Edge is literally built off a relatively recent version of Chromium. It’s not a separate engine.
Static Analysis should be able to provide a "complexity" metric. If the method reaches a certain complexity, certain tools will consider it a bug. Refactoring is sometimes the only way to address these issues.

> I have family members with no excess body weight - bmi in the single digits

You must be from a family of bots, highly intelligent snakes, or something like that. If you’re 2 meters tall, a BMI of 10 means a weight of 40kg. If you’re 1 meter tall, it means a weight of 10kg.

I’m not even sure humans with a BMI of under 10 can survive.
Nuclear physics “API” allows for wiping the life from Earth. So, we should abandon it at once?
Primary markets will eat pig slop if you feed it to them, Y Combinator is living proof of that. If the demand for your product tanks in the secondary market, there's a very good chance that the product you're selling isn't very attractive to the layman.

When I say crypto is doing "well", I mean so relatively. The markets are in agony right now, and many of the people who I know who have their life savings in crypto are getting wiped out. The primary market says nothing about how successful cryptocurrency is, just how lucrative it is. Getting someone to buy a worthless thing has a 100% markup, so it's unsurprising the market is still luring investors in with the promise of Yet Another Useless Token.

My larger point is that cryptocurrency had it's chance, and people like Vitalik are the coffin bearers. This brand of economic accelerationism consistently ends in disaster, and crypto is just the same story told through a different lens. It's the Juicero of the 2020s, a concept so useless that it can only move units by fooling customers with insane marketing. Look around at NFT and cryptocurrency ads, you'll get the picture.
>Just because they told you to have fun staying poor on the way up?

Yes. Frankly these people need to have a check to their egos.

Mocking people who just want a return on an investment but don't understand what cryptocurrencies are and falling prey to arseholes (correctly) assuming they are a Greater Fool is definitely in bad taste.

But the people who went "Line goes up, stay poor, I am very smart" despite the warnings they were engaged in a scam... yeah, I have no sympathy for them. They're the get rich quick, fuck you I got mine libertarians who deserve to be taken down a peg or two.
At the beginning of the pandemic, the CEO of our company was very adamant about working from home being a temporary situation, with all of the usual explanations.

Although I still have to go into the office occasionally to things that can't be done remotely, midway through the pandemic I had decided that I am going to work from home as much as I like from now on. And if this company doesn't let me, I'll switch jobs.

Earlier in this year, the CEO set a "back to the office" date of June 13th. I've been in occasionally since then and it's still basically a ghost town. So apparently most of my co-workers have the same idea as me.

AC is way more space efficient than previous ways of cooling buildings and far more flexible. Another way people used to deal with the heat was just not working during the hottest portions of the day, there also used to be a lot more non-working time. AC lets you work continuously through the whole working day which is a big productivity boon. There's benefits beyond just energy usage to consider when we're evaluating cooling methods.

Because you’d have to be a real dumbass to actually put your life savings in crypto.

When I first bought crypto, I put in just enough that if I were to lose it all, it would mean one vacation less and a fewer more meals at home for a few months.

The returns are absurd enough that a $10k investment can be life changing. Anything beyond that is just greed and stupidity.
The US has a decently long history of conspiracy theorists (and conspiracies to give them credit.)
Yeah that accurately describes my workplace as well. The revolving door of "lower people" you mention is very real. I'm one of those "lower people" and I've definitely been shifted into the work no one else wants. To be fair I was fresh out of college and took the "volunteer for the work no one wants to earn respect" route, and it did earn me some respect, even a promotion and a pay bump. But after a couple of years of trying to push further it's clear there's a ceiling, and my only chance of doing any of the interesting work is waiting for the old men to retire/leave, and then I'll likely be dumped into the deep end to figure things out myself, under extreme time pressure because critical stuff's breaking and I have 25% of the knowledge necessary to fix it, which makes me the remaining program "expert" :P

I'm sticking around for personal/defensive reasons (it's stable and recession-proof, and I have a one-month old so moving would be extra stressful for the family), but I doubt I'll stick around for more than another year or two. My turn for that revolving door is coming up
I really don’t think this is a coincident either. But I think it is more nefarious then you suggest. I blame the USA military. Too many movies that come out today are paper thin propaganda/recruitment tool for the USA military. If your story involves the military in some way, includes some military tools in the set design, etc. and you want the military to help you with that, then you must hand over editorial rights to the military (i.e. you must opt into censoring).

This creates an interesting phenomena where you are either more creative with your screenplay (and restrictive with your budget) or you cave in to censorship. I feel like most of the time Hollywood picks the latter.

That said, Hollywood is still making good original action movies (the most recent being The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent), they are just really scarce among a plethora of military propaganda and/or superhero sequels (e.g. Top Gun: Maverick).
I don't believe whatever news are posted these days regarding crypto. After the whole gamestop charade of people cheering on the downfall of hedgefunds, it turns out they turned a healthy profit after all and none of what was originally claimed turned out to be true. Who the fuck knows who had a dog in that race to what extend and who was publishing so much misinformation. It even made it's way here, which is why I am writing this comment on HN. There's a slew of information that these articles omit/conceal that could completely change the narrative being portrayed.

There are too many misdirection plays here. People are being screwed, yes, but not the people you think (or in some cases "hope".)
My answer is often along the lines of "it's doing what a start-up does"!

Right, I think the Skyrim example another commenter linked is a good showcase of how that model had no real conception of what it was "doing" and no real cognitive ability to seek an understanding.

I do think that some kind of "embodiment" or at least the addition of some kind of structured semantic model on top of/in addition to the raw token/vector embeddings is probably going to be necessary.

I am interested though, in how much of that internal/semantic understanding can be "emulated" by a sufficiently rich text model over the course of a conversation. There was an interesting article a little while back about improving GPT-3's (IIRC) performance on math problems by structuring the prompts so that it would describe working out all the intermediate steps in solving the problem.

I do suspect that whatever additional pieces we need to reach real general AI, the first really convincing examples of it will come not from looking at the architecture of the raw model, but at how it can be prompted to generate a believable accounting of it's own internal states over the course of an interaction.
Right, but the wing doesn't start to work until you hit serious speeds, whereas the fan gives the car extreme traction at launch, which is pretty important in a race that only lasts 30 seconds, especially when your electric car has ~infinite torque.

This would have been fine if Windows wasn't 95+% of desktop computer market share at the time. The regulatory argument was that Microsoft was abusing their desktop OS monopoly to give themselves an unfair advantage in another market (browsers).

By contrast iOS is ~50% of mobile OS market share (in the US, I think it's less elsewhere). Hardly a monopoly. If using a different mobile browser is important to you, there's a competing, popular mobile OS that can provide that.

I'm not OP, but I'm a manager that's 100% WFH at this point. I had a spare bedroom to devote to the workspace, and that's been a lifesaver, since (for me) part of maintaining WLB has been the ability to physically change spaces as a way of reinforcing that I'm no longer in "work mode" before/after certain times. Even without a separate room, having a dedicated work area might be a good idea to help with that balance if that's a problem for you.

not entirely tautological. the probability that something bad happens tomorrow if we do X today for the first time is very different than the probability that something bad happens tomorrow if we do X today GIVEN weve been doing X every day for 50 years.

If your goal is to prevent third party software like spam filters and malware engines from triggering actions, you must require a second step that will send a POST/PUT/anything-that-isn't-idempotent request. You can copy the authentication code into a form field and do the entire thing without Javascript if you want to, but a second step is necessary.

If your goal is to hide your secrets from Microsoft, then send the email encrypted or don't send it to Microsoft's servers at all. This is practically impossible, it at least impractical in most cases. You can't control the hosting provider and software of your customers.
Seems about accurate, but the variable speed systems are a big QoL upgrade regardless. Just being able to have AC on lower speeds has helped a lot with humidity even when the house doesn't necessarily need cooling. We upgraded last summer from a 3 ton unit to a 3.5 ton unit (max size our ducts would support). It's still struggling to hold 75 when over 100 outside and some upper rooms hit 80, but that's more down to our ducts and layout of the house. The lower humidity and constant (yet inaudibly low) air flow makes it feel much more comfortable at 75 than with the old system.
It doesn't matter how expensive your telescope is, if you want it to have perfect optics you'll have to spend more. You need to decide at what point it is good enough. If your post-processing is good (courts) then you can cut costs on the optics (patent examination) and still achieve the results you want.
> Archaeologists still study garbage heaps from tens of thousands of years ago to figure out things about past civilisations. So my guess is on no - people will study the digital garbage heaps of humanity as much as they study the... once-were- stinkier ones.

Super Mario Bros. isn't a garbage heap though, it's more like a statue or a mosaic.

I was thinking more like will it end up like a forgotten pop song from 1890 or something like a Tchaikovsky song that's still played and appreciated (and not reliant on nostalgia for continued attention).

I have nostalgia for Super Mario Bros., and that's why I pay attention to it. It's getting old enough where we might be able to perceive effects independent from nostalgia (though I think there may now be a phenomenon of "nostalgia for other people's nostalgia" that may still make accurate perception difficult).

I agree.

I recently left a large tech company. It was very obvious who was "higher up" in the food chain, as the home offices of Director+ level folks were generally larger and much more nicely decorated. At VP-level, they almost resembled super-villain lairs.
El Salvador's $425M Bitcoin experiment isn't saving the country's finances
I postulate that modifying the current system is easier than integrating bitcoin/crypto in ways that are actually good, and easier still than replaceing the current system wholesale with crypto.
> Serenbe is a very cool example, thank you. Do you know of any others?

Not off the top of my head, but there were a lot of attempts at something like that in the 20th century. Most of them were associated with escaping social norms (e.g. communes, cults, etc.) and ultimately failed.

> 120k blue votes would do it

You're missing a few factors:

1. Land votes, not people. One of the reasons Republicans are a minority party and control the country, even at most state levels, is because of gerrymandering. You need far more than 50% of the state to take it back over, especially if the Supreme Court is tolerant of extreme gerrymandering (as it has been for years now).

2. A large percentage of people don't vote. If you want 120k votes, you need probably 200k+ potential voters.

3. There is an explicit strategy by the GOP to make purple states (like Texas) scary or unpleasant to live in for Democrats.

> The only reason we all huddle in cities is because the rest of it is so left behind that we don't want to help it anymore.

I'm not sure this is true. I think the #1 reason for living in a city has been the job opportunities, and the #2 reason was the social connections. Maybe it's close to friends, family, or a like-minded community.

You don't have those things in a random spit of land in the middle of nowhere. You won't have an airport, convenient highways, easy weekend getaways, nearby beaches, etc.

Serenbe is cool, but it took decades to develop it into a real competitor to a city, and it was also consciously built close to the busiest airport in the world. You can't replicate those conditions quickly or easily.

I think if you had $30B to spend, you could either build a town or boost the endowment for youth voter turnout, and I think the latter would give you better social returns on your investment.
> 3 months in, no sugar, no cravings

I did keto for a year and the sugar cravings never stopped. :-\

I let myself have a donut 3 months in, and everyone on keto always tells me that after a few months, if you eat something sweet, you'll find it disgustingly sweet. Nope. As I ate that apple fritter, I was like "Oh my god this is so delicious, I've missed sugar so bad"

In about 9 months, I had gone from 260 lbs to 205 lbs, but then COVID hit, I fell off the bandwagon, stopped going to the gym (I went to the one at the office), and very slowly rose back to the 250 lbs I am today. :-(

I still generally avoid high-carb foods like pasta and bread, rarely eat sweets, and will use low-carb alternatives when possible, but I'm certainly not keto anymore.
Yet the standard library's HashMap and BTreeMap are very sophisticated. IMO, the more optimizations are built into the standard library, the more effectively Rust can achieve its goal of empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

The as_mut_vec function doesn't even really prevent Rust's standard String type from implementing SSO. That function, which is already unsafe, could just come with a warning in the documentation that calling it will force the string into its heap-allocated form.

But no, I don't care enough about this to do the work myself, so I'll say no more.

Oh yeah blame the unions for the downfall of the american auto industry. It had nothing to do with the biggest recession in the last 40 years and the fact that no one wanted new cars when they were losing their house to the banks.
I don't think I'm missing the point... it's just that those seem like excuses and self-employed or self-directed workers are only making these excuses to themselves (as they fail).

> This is coming from the narrow view that people who struggle remotely only do so because they are inexperienced. I know people who struggled because they lived in a small NYC apartment where their desk was 2 feet from their bed, and the lack of movement or change of environment was killer mentally. I know people who struggled because they are highly extroverted and not seeing people IRL led to crushing mental health issues. I know people who did not live up to their IRL potential because they thrive on watercooler chats for creativity. I know people who just felt disconnected remotely and didn't feel the purpose and connection to the team/company in person.

I dealt with every one of these in varying degrees at one point or another. I still miss watercooler talk with interesting people but you can't have everything.

If YOUR environment isn't conducive to getting work done -- fix it!

- Inside too much? Get a dog or a hobby outside. (work is not a life)
- Miss people? get a hobby where you meet people (work is not a life)
- etc..

Who's responsibility is it to fix? YOURS (unless you want to fail but I guess at least you can blame someone else?)

Now it's not easy to do these things... but nothing worthwhile is easy.
It’s not hard to implement a system which measures success.

For one, we ensure everyone commits and delivers and holds others accountable for failures. What you’re describing is not a measurement of performance, I see your point though.

I too very much disdain “team bonding”. But the point is to get to know and respect each other. By doing so you’re more likely to hold yourself accountable.

In terms of performance there’s two parts:

1. How much you commit to

2. How much you deliver on commitments

We expect 100% on #2 or explanations and plans to adjust. On #1 we expect that to change as you increase through the ranks. Junior members don’t need to commit to as much, senior more and staff should commit to a lot and help the junior.

Top performance is learning what you can accomplish and delivering, communicating when you’re having trouble, and then ensuring improvement over time in terms of committing to more.
> Privacy Addresses are for a time slice of connections. You can cycle a new address every 10 minutes but the OS will keep old addresses until all connections over these addresses have been closed.

Sounds like it's still worse than IPV4 + NAT, because your address + port tuple changes with each connection, whereas with ipv6 it's the same across connections for 10 minutes.
