It's not a good comparison.

A better comparison is like saying AI text generation bots will replace authors, or that AI drug testing will replace drug development - which clearly isn't the case. The core issue is that people with no idea what the creative fields offer are throwing their hat in with what they think is going to happen. People with experience are saying the opposite because they know better.

At best, this will remove those websites where you can pay $5 for "a designer" to make you "an image" - is this a loss though? Such things have never been a threat to creative fields.
There really are millions of lessons to be learned though, not just the “how to be successful”. If all you did was working at a big corp or at a FAANG you will run into tons of issues which you will have to deal with at the same time as founder-related issues.
> Meta has so far removed fraudulently applied verification badges from more than 300 Instagram profiles

It's not a "Verification Badge", it's a "Famous Person" badge. If you verify someone's identity, John Doe indeed controls the instagram account with his face and name, then I don't see how there could be anything fraudulent about it if it's just a "verification badge".

The verification badge is supposed to show whether the person that operates an IG account is really that person, so why does a persons public image have any bearing on that? The DMV isn't going to issue you an License, then call you a month later saying "hey we suspended your license, no one's heard of you".

But we all know that badge is just a "Famous" badge. If we think of it that way then yeah, Meta was in the right because those accounts were fraudulent, because the person did not actually famous.

I realize these badges can lead to potentially lucrative brand deals. But how sad does your life have to be if you're dumping all this money and time to having a blue checkmark next to your name.

HN discussions on starlink are so interesting, the idea that satellite internet is competing with copper or fiber is insane to me. There are tons of issues, but holy shit this is incredible.

Coming from a long background in D&D 3.5/5e/etc TTRPGs, Dungeon World and thus the PbtA systems feel like a breath of fresh air! Especially for a rules-lite, narrative-first game.

However, I will admit... The actual Dungeon World book is pretty bad. Great rules, great player sheets / printables, rather poor book as TTRPG books go.

That's just restating the issue: you're just saying "premature death affects men more." The question is why. It's not some natural state of affairs but something created by social and political choices.

For COVID, for example, the risk ratio for men compared to women is larger than the risk ratio for e.g. black people compared to white people. But public health authorities in the US prioritized access to vaccines to racial minorities (who indeed had higher age-adjusted mortality rates than white people), while not doing the same for men. This is an ideological choice, driven by the idea that bad things that happen to men aren't worthy of social concern.

More broadly, the gendered death statistics are indicative of systemic inequalities.
> They're really not comparable unless you believe "not being made fun of" is a human right.

This is meant to be sarcastic but a lot of people basically do believe this. Most arguments about "stochastic terrorism" would implicitly aim to devalue/censor any sort of speech that "punched down".

It's in a social media company's best interest for its user base to easily find and distinguish between Matt Smith the famous actor and the thousands of other Matt Smiths, especially the ones who might try to fake being the famous Matt Smith for shits and giggles and/or profit. "Verification" is definitely the wrong term for it, but if companies could come up with a different verb that didn't make even more obvious the divide between "important" people and the rest, they would have by now.
And do you propose to stop either to deter misinformation? Or maybe the pros outweigh the cons?
Well, yes and no. By enabling the developer mode you can install any extension that was not verified by the google web store policy.

As long you are careful with the extension you install manually you should be fine.
I don’t think the pervasiveness of ML articles on HN are an indicator of anything except hype trends on certain subject matters. ML research in these spaces has been very high output for many years now.

As someone in the field of computer graphics , where there’s been considerable ML research over the past few years that are more reliably applicable to people’s lives , most of the exciting stuff doesn’t make it to the front page of HN even if it’s posted here.

There’s been lots of research in the past few years. The initial shiny stuff makes it on here, but it’s the follow up iterations that are highly catalyzing of change that don’t because public interest in those topics has waned in the interim.

Interesting. Is there a good motivation for using maximum normal form size, instead of number of steps (e.g. under left-to-right eager evaluation)? My first impression is that A333479(n) is not immediately comparable to BB(n), because of measuring size instead of steps.

EDIT: Oh, perhaps there's multiple common definitions for Turing machine busy beaver? Doing some searches, I've seen both (1) number of steps, and (2) number of 1s on the tape when it halts. Perhaps the second notion is more directly comparable to maximum normal form sizes of lambda terms?

I have a Raspberry Pi dedicated to generating certificates. It serves the files to my LAN statically via a webserver, and is otherwise heavily firewalled. I don't run any other software on the Pi, so barring an exploit in the webserver, I’m not worried about the signing key getting compromised.

Compared to my desktop, where over the years I ran all kinds of stuff from the package manager, downloaded Python scripts and configure scripts from GitHub and Sourceforge… I tried to be careful but you can’t audit everything.
As we see with Facebook getting pressured by the FBI to preemptively censor information before evening finding out if it's misinformation or not (or even coming from Russia or not). They were basically trusting the FBI to have people's best interests at heart and letting the details work itself out later.

All of these attempts at moderating the internet always get misused, the scope forever expands, and usually does little IRL to stop ideas from spreading (even the FBI example resulted in a massive Streisand effect, because censorship immediately makes people pay attention).

Trusting billion dollar tech companies with this responsibility should be treated like crazy-talk. Even stuff like transparency on motives, transparency on algorithm changes, processes for challenging it, etc etc, are usually not part of the deal.

Any reason to use that one that only seems to list "Medium" as supported vs the often linked https://12ft.io (Unsure if official or inofficial extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/12ft/nmccamaemgaap...)?

I can see this replacing the clip and misappropriated art in slide presentations that no one is paying for currently with a $20/month service that lets you do "line art angry man in toga at computer" to put into your talk on Kuberentes.

It might replace the "nice pic, do you have it at {size} so I can use it as a desktop image" comments on various social media sites.

I don't see it replacing an actual photograph as a wall hanging (or a painting) because they are subtly wrong in some ways. The reflection in the lake doesn't match the landscape... that one cloud has its lighting at slightly different angle than the rest.

Sure many did - that doesn’t make it right.

Furthermore, this take is the “neutral global citizen” way of looking at things. It’s one perspective, and certainly important to be aware of, but China vs US (or the west more generally) isn’t a neutral outcome.

The Chinese system would be a massive detriment to human rights if allowed to continue growing, as it’s a massive detriment to human rights now. “Retweeting” pro-western perspectives is the right thing to do in that case, even if it isn’t the most “neutral” perspective.

For some reason there’s a fear of being pro-western nowadays and so many like to take this “enlightened observer” approach, but that’s a luxury existing in the west affords, and keeping it requires defending it.
Just a recommendation: the site calls itself "Extensions Hub" despite the domain being "extensionhub.site". This is confusing and makes the site less trustworthy. Additionally "extensionhub.site" doesn't sound super trustworthy to me to begin with (maybe because the TLD is rare and "extensionhub" sounds a lot bigger than how it presents itself).

If the idea is to host other extensions on it as well, I'd suggest putting a little more effort into it so it feels like something that actually has extensions on it rather than blog posts. The page for the extension itself for example has none of the usual links or info about the author of the extension (the date and author feel like they're part of a blog post ABOUT the extension, not info about the extension itself because of the layout) and the actual link for the extension itself is a direct download link in the prose of the article itself.

This may be because I'm European but the complete lack of info about who operates the site (no privacy policy, just a twitter link and a copyright statement linking back to the site itself) screams "scam" to me on top of the impression that this is a blog trying to present itself as an extension store.

Please take this as constructive feedback but if I saw this site in the wild I'd assume it's malware.

I recall a few bumpy bits in the various upgrades from 1.0 to 2.2 - they reworked quite a few areas such that updating the .NET Core version required changing your code. They provided good documentation and migration guides, but they did definitely break things along the way.
> The original class components were much easier to understand.

Class components only made you feel like they were easier to understand because the method names indicated an intuitive lifecycle. But the reality under the hood was almost certainly different than your mental model because the method/event handler names were actually deceptive. Hooks are much closer to the metal, so to speak.

> A backend developer could open a .tsx file and understand what is going on, and make simple fixes.

They might assume they knew what was going on and how their "simple fixes" would affect execution, but that would probably be naïve. But that goes for anyone jumping into any codebase for a platform/library that they're not familiar with.

> Hooks makes some things easier but the cost in terms of loss-of-intuitiveness is huge.

This is fair, although I feel like the learning curve for React is only steep at first, then plateaus for the vast majority of application developers. It only gets really complicated (as anything does) when you start to get into advanced performance tuning or you're writing a library with very specific requirements.

> The other mistake Facebook is making is assuming that performance is the most important attribute of a UI framework.

This is simply not true. The React team has indicated many times over the years that basic, hello-world level, idiomatic React code is fast enough for the vast majority of applications ("don't worry too much about the number of re-renders," etc.). They're very anti-premature optimization as a group.

Also, Hooks weren't introduced to improve performance anyway (at least that wasn't the primary motivation).

It's not from the React team, nor is it specific to React, but have you tried immer? https://immerjs.github.io/immer/

That's not a multiverse cable situation and there are way more kinds of infinity than just countable and uncountable.

In a multiverse situation you're watching actual content from an infinity of universes where beings exist who have produced and selected that content.

You're not watching an infinite amount of static and magically selecting the parts of static that are coincidentally equivalent to specific content.

All multiverse content must be watchable and creatable by the kind of creature that creates a television. So content that is unwatchable or uncreatable by any conceivable creature will not be in that infinite set.

It is very easy to describe impossible content and any impossible content will not be on the multiverse TV.

Trivial counterexamples that are describable but uncreatable, in any universe similar enough to ours that it has television:

-a channel that reruns actual filmed footage of a given universe's big-bang will not exist.

-a channel that shows *only* accurate, continuous footage of the future of that universe.

-a channel that shows the result of dividing by zero.

Channels that may or may not be uncreatable:

-a channel that induces in the viewer the sensation of smelling their mother's hair.

-a channel that causes any viewer to eat their own feet.

-a channel that cures human retinal cancer.

-a channel that shows you what you are doing, right now, in your own home in this universe, like a mirror. Note that this requires some connection between our universe and the other universe and there's no guarantee, in a multiverse situation, that connections between the universes are also a complete graph.

These examples are more important. We know they are either possible or impossible but we do not know which. Just saying "multiverses are infinite" doesn't answer the question.

For further reading, review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Infinite and remember that a channel is a defined set.
Basic UI features shouldn't need storage. In-memory or in the URL is enough. If you put it in storage then it is actually a (cookie) session, with some sort of configuration - that's not "basic UI".

Maybe it's because I'm not American, but having someone talking about how much worse it is in Europe compared to the US while saying things like what I quote below, doesn't really entice me to continue watching the video much further, no matter how much I agree that Europe is fucked at the moment.

Not sure, perhaps the author of that one just hasn't tried to get it approved. There's also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywal... and a number of other ones for Firefox that don't look to be blocked, so I don't think Mozilla is taking the same stance.
I would imagine it's also 2nd order effects on the health system - delayed diagnosis, treatments, and surgeries. Full ER rooms means stroke patients don't get seen as fast, reluctance to interact with the medical system means treatment isn't sought, and devoting large swaths of hospitals to COVID patients means the "not an issue now but will be in a year" conditions aren't dealt with. I doubt many of these effects were avoidable, but it's still unfortunate.

> What secret and hidden, nefarious things could those reasonably be?

Collecting photo and video footage combined with GPS data without the explicit consent of the owner would be the biggest one, IMO. That would be a great way to build maps of areas that aren't visible from satellites, or to get more detailed imagery than a satellite, or to build full 3D maps of areas using photogrammetry or similar.

Just the GPS data could also be very useful, as it would be a map of the space that drones are likely to be able to fly through. If someone has a 3D map of areas where consumers successfully flew drones, seems like that would make it much easier to send semi- or fully-autonomous drones through there too, if the area were of interest. The US Navy has a problem with mystery drones surveilling their ships, so it seems reasonable to assume that folks are doing the same with sensitive facilities on land. Maybe it would even be useful for plotting flight routes for cruise missiles, so they can stay as close to the ground as possible?

Capturing wifi access point information, like some mapping companies have done, could be beneficial to an organization that doesn't have traditional mapping vehicles. Same for any other radio signals that the device can pick up.

All of that is more or less passive, with the exception of sending the data somewhere. There are a lot more options if the manufacturer is willing to be more aggressive and risk someone noticing that their products are behaving oddly.
