> No more firing up incognito mode to view some YouTube video you’d rather not feed your algorithm. No more browsing the ‘other side’ on twitter privately. No googling for information about embarrassing rashes without Google and webmd knowing exactly who you are.

I agree with you on principal and don’t mean to sound dismissive but they’re all doing this already.

When I’m trying to look at anything on Twitter it shortly launches a full screen thing demanding I login (I refuse to sign up).

YouTube requires sign-in for age restricted content.

Google, most annoyingly, makes me complete several captchas for using incognito+private relay

Instagram won’t open in safari with incognito+private relay; I have a throwaway account for just looking at the odd link someone sends me in a meme group-chat; I have to use another browser.

I often have to replace “www.whatever.reddit” to “old.reddit” on my phone to be able to see an “age restricted” post, most of the time they aren’t anything a kid shouldn’t be see either, not sure how they’re determining that.

Subversion started in that phase so maybe they're just trying to delay the inevitable.
I've been on HN since about 2012 under various accounts, mostly lurking
If we could travel to Mars continuously thrusting at 1g the entire way, we would basically have solved most of our major problems. That would get us to Mars in days, would allow asteroid mining, would allow colonies all over the solar system with frequent restocking of supplies, O'Neil colonies, and so on. It'd be The Expanse.

Unfortunately, cheap and continuous thrust like that doesn't look like it'll be available anytime soon. It would be a total gamechanger, though.
They’re just harder to run on your own resources, since large language models are very large. BLOOM was released a month ago, is likely better than GPT-3 in quality, and requires 8 A100s for inference, which pretty much no one has on their desk.
KiwiFarms can both be guilty itself of attacking some people while also having it's name used as a false-flag by other terrorists who exploit existing grievances to escape blame.

Byuu was targeted by 4chan terrorists who just used his history with KiwiFarms for misdirection. Taking down KiwiFarms may stop some, but not all of the terrorism associated around it.
What incentives do you claim they are under? I'm sorry, but you seem to be assuming some context i seem not to have.
They did participate in a fraudulent scheme to obtain the badges. If they had been verified for their real accomplishments they would still have it.

Consider the following lame analogy:

A man who has been working as a programmer for 30 years has no diploma because he is self taught. He is having trouble finding a new position because for some reason companies are asking for a degree in a related field. He decides to buy one from a sketchy random university. People find out about the scheme and the diploma is invalidated. Should he be able to keep it because he probably knows everything he would be taught at university?
what kind of prompting is required for this?

I uploaded a digital painting, selected "Edit mode", added a generation frame and prompted "complete the painting in frame" ...but it just added a completed unrelated photo related to painting in that frame.

People write code for computers, but they should also write code for humans. Humans have different parsers and the evolution of the code is dictated by how quickly and efficiently can these human parse the code.
I would do it the other way around:

Create a standard header with a "Parental Advisory" PG kind of label. Then let the consumer decide what to do with it. The web is "content", and it is up to the parents to decide how to police their kid's content consumption (same as with music, video, etc).

Then we can start talking about Operating Systems, Browsers or Access points features allowing parents to block pages with specific PG ratings.
I came here to note the same connection. I forwarded both articles to a spam person at Google.
They're also not businesses, usually. I didn't read the entirety of the bill, but does an IP address alone constitute PII here?
Better articles (IMO) at Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio_base

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_positional_numera... has a long list.

An interesting one: base 2i https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quater-imaginary_base -- this was introduced in one of the papers Donald Knuth wrote in college.
Pretty sure bacteria made a much more massive difference to the earth's atmosphere/ climate than humans ever have/will do. Accepted it wasn't a single species.
> headsets for video conferences allows for full-duplex conversations

That makes since most video conferencing services have complex audio feedback canceling algorithms. If the mic can't hear the speakers then there is no feedback to cancel.
> The amount of scrutiny applied to a source is inversely proportional with how much I want to believe the source

Aka "confirmation bias"
Something I've observed is outrage over China only to see it in my Western society some years later.

I suppose that the love/anxiety for children is the same everywhere.
For example many parents are currently concerned with "screen time".
> The biblical concept of repentance requires action to restructure the way you do things and is mutually exclusive with "business as usual".

That's your interpretation. The behavior I have observed is different.

> Historically, in the US, we have gone to great lengths to give marginalized groups the right to vote

Christians in the US are not marginalized.

> Finally, a Christian is simply a person who has decided that they will organize their life according to the standard defined in the Bible in preference to other options. Other people make decisions to organize their lives in other ways. It seems like you are willing to tolerate folks in the latter camp, but hold a special animosity towards folks in the former camp. Do we not each have our own autonomy?

Read about paradox of tolerance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

In order for society to remain tolerant towards everyone, it must not tolerate intolerance. Christianity (as well as many other popular religions) is not tolerant, no matter how much that word appears in its holy books - just look at the history.
And then all those Brazilians flocked to VKontakte because apparently VK groups were somehow similar to what Orkut offered. I remember the rush to translate everything into Portuguese.
Good abstractions + asserts + minimal assumptions everywhere in the code (also called refactoring-resistant code)
But in that case it's not the work that's the problem, but the misrepresentation (read lie) about the provenance.
I was around when the TSA was founded, though I'm not American. And I recall all the rationales for this (what seemed at the time) hastily created organization. Still, it's been a lot of years and little to show for all the expense and time wasted. Security theatre indeed.
I try to write good questions for stackoverflow (which I'm certainly not dissing, I think it;s a great resource used properly) and I usually miss something out and have to throw in an edit.

Fair enough, but it amazes me the number of people who pile in, clearly without reading what I wrote, seemingly unable to readjust when I point out "no, that's not what asked"

A while back I asked a question. Let's say it was about destructors (it wasn't but for example). People started answering about constructors. Repeatedly. One of the SO editors came in and pointed out that there was plenty about constructors on SO already so he was closing the question. I rather lost it at that point, spelt out DEE-STRUCT-ORRS I was asking about. He wiped all the comments (his own included), reopened the question and today it remains unanswered.

That was an extreme case of this phenomenon but stone the bladdy crows, it's not rare.
There are terminals in the netherlands and belgium which can then be piped to the rest of europe.
Sorry, Scoville. Peppers deserve better than an archaic heat scale
Haha, oops, in Dutch it means "together".
Any site that is used by children and has user-posted content should spend enough on moderation to keep that user-posted content safe, and they should charge whatever they need to charge to be able to afford the moderation. Children don't need access to unmoderated, advertising supported forums. If I really trusted my teenager to be able to handle unmoderated user-posted content, I, the parent, could remove the age restrictions on their accounts myself.

Nice pointer. Thank you. I grabbed the pdf book.
right? We already have an IE-esque level of monopoly and associated behavior from chrome/blink. Making it just blink+webkit seems like it would be even worse - even though they have diverged significantly it's also wrong to think they're "different" in the sense of gecko and blink/webkit or even presto.

I think the real problem is the gecko and spidermonkey seem to be falling significantly behind on real user experience. This is ignoring the Firefox application itself which I find super irksome.

But as their gross built in tracking+advertising shows they are at least somewhat hurting for cash which does not help, and encourages gross stuff like said spam+tracking.

It doesn't help that the google folk keep shoving out half-assed specs for whatever some google team has decided they want/need with specs but little thought of generally of how to make more universal solutions. That just means you've got constant pressure to implement ever increasing numbers of standards just to stay in place - if apple (and technically MS in the past) has difficulty keeping up with the constant "spec" spam it's hard to see Mozilla managing in the longer term.
Just want to chime in that ads-based network effects are a huge boon to the economy and ability to be innovating and build business on the internet. It's important to recognize that with "privacy" regulation like this will likely come an unexpected chilling of the online economy. I wouldn't be surprised if regulation like this reduced PPP growth for Americans by around 1-2% on average in the long term.

Looks great! I've been looking to avoid rolling my own admin for my hobby project, which is mongo based, and very much driven on certain db schemas and collections. Adding CRUD and simple admin views to the mongodb will go a really long way, and the flex to throw in some react sounds great. Glad i found this!

Ask HN: Why are there so many spiders in Europe?
I live in southern Europe, and lately (last four months), I have caught and noticed more spiders indoors than in the previous ten years combined.

Most noticeably, they are larger and thicker (about 3x4cm) and usually brown.

Is it just me, or have other people noticed it as well?

Does anyone know if there’s a reason why this is happening now?
Just make sure it goes better than it did for these guys:

It’s about reputation. His reputation has been damaged. I think people genuinely appreciate what he’s done and hope that he’ll rehabilitate it.

Unless I'm reading this wrong - this bills attempts to give children privacy from their parents?

"Provide an “obvious signal” if parents can monitor their kids’ activities online. How does this intersect with COPPA?"

Are they saying they are going to warn the kids that their parents can check up on them?

Are they utterly insane, or did I read this wrong?

Google's AMP, the Canonical Web, and the Importance of Web Standards
They mention that they'd ideally want a natural ordering on the commit hashes. Something to do with their zero-tolerence security policy.

What's the background there? Why do they need a natural ordering?
The idea that national security standards are the actual blueprint for running a security practice at a startup is risible.
Blink is a fork of WebKit. Apple manages WebKit development. Google manages Blink development.
Yes, but that doesn't change who is cutting off whom.

Russia invaded Ukraine and diverse countries who did not understand the significance of their choice to make themselves dependent on Russian gas had to take what peaceful measures they could to deny resources to Russia, but obviously the Rusdians aren't going to sell something in return for something they can't access-- it's equivalent to nonpayment. There's no readon not to say that openly.

The only bad thing about this affair is that some countries are trying to substitute their Russian gas for Azerbaijani gas, which is just as bad war-of-aggression wise , even though that is of course further away from Europe.
I find when I ask questions in public forums and provide a lot of detail about the issue, it seems to get ignored because there's too much information compared to other people who ask more basic questions that require follow up questions.

Also with a detailed message, people don't seem to read (or grasp) the entire thing and get fixated on parts that aren't the issue or ask questions that I already answered in my initial question.

I guess you need to know your audience and adjust your question style based on that.
> EDIT: I stand corrected in that esbuild is not written in Javascript, but I think that's a disadvantage to it's success if anything and would point out webpack is more popular.

Webpack exists since 2012, of course it's more popular. For a long time there were no other alternatives, so people had to deal with its madness.
Pen and paper can do the same. Or Photoshop. Anyone can draw anything! OMG, stop the paper factory.
I have the same plan! We can team up!
Technologically, why should that be a big challenge? In the simplest model, the HTML would require a privacy tag/flag that would need to be matched against an incoming HTTPS request's attribute.

If done right, it might actually be seamless, much unlike the GDPR pop-up which needs to be manually cleared.
Do you really think your average javascript developer is going to read and understand all of their dependencies?
You’d probably say the same if no abstractions were there. It’s a trade off. Don’t necessarily abstract something, but do it if it makes everything else better and more maintainable and more secure. Probably a good philosophy is to never start with abstraction and leave that to refactors.
That's great that you think that, but there's this group of jerks that keeps swinging first.

At some point you have to start addressing the people who are actively trying to make others' lives worse through harassment, discrimination, and violence.
Much as cloudflare is choosing to ignore victims of harassment, cloudflare could simply choose to ignore the authoritarian regimes. It is not required to follow a particular definition of "fairness".
Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan are all historically part of China. Legally speaking, China is on very strong footing in claiming all three territories.

No one even disputes Chinese sovereignty over Tibet and Hong Kong, as far as I'm aware.

Everyone recognizes that Taiwan has legally been part of China since 1945 (it became part of China in the 1680s, but Japan took it as a prize of war in 1895 and had to give it back at the end of WWII). The complication there is that China had a civil war, the former government of China retreated to Taiwan, and the territory has grown apart over the decades.

But it's not as if China is just randomly making up territories to claim. It's claiming very specific territories that it has a strong legal claim to.
I wonder if airports would accept an Instagram verification badge as proof that he's not a terrorist.

There is a tension between a State government's right to regulate activity within the state, and the Federal government's right to regulate activity between States.

Here the key question regarding interstate commerce should be about who must comply with this law (if it becomes law). California wants it to be "businesses" with a "nexus" in California, but that seems like rather expansive. But finding a more limited way to specify "California businesses" that isn't also de-fanged is very difficult in today's world.

Still, now, suppose that Texas or Florida had conflicting laws? Then what?
Has anyone here implemented Google's HIBA (https://github.com/google/hiba) in addition to SSH CA/certs for the extra identity and grant checks?

Toxicity in Digital Design
The most popular mobile OS in the world that according to evidence that came out in the Oracle trial, only made Google $27 billion in profit from inception until then.

For reference, Google pays Apple a reported $14 billion a year to be the default search engine on Apple devices. It’s highly likely that Apple makes more from Google in mobile than Google makes from Android.

Chrome is just another gateway to advertising.

Google’s Play store game revenue is $48 billion a year. But if they count revenue like Apple does, they are counting the gross amount people pay net after they give developers their cut is 30% of that excluding other expenses.

Hmm, that would work too. Under this kind of system, the laws protecting children wouldn't ban serving possibly-adult content, or require age checking, but would mandate that you must label certain content with the correct and appropriate age label.

For anyone unaware, Life 360 is largely used as surveillance technology so parents can monitor their children's locations. Hardly comparable to a social media app - it essentially desensitizes children to pervasive surveillance, and sends the message that their parents don't trust them. I'm obviously extremely biased, but I'd suggest anyone looking at this company consider the implications of location tracking children, teens and young adults.

As a non-web developer, I remember years ago when disabling cookies meant only cookies -- then learning that there were other forms of persistent storage. It made me angry and I felt betrayed.

Calling all persistent storage "cookies" matches the popular understanding of what "cookie" means. I don't see the problem with accepting that and using the term accordingly.

It may not be technically correct, but this is a point where the technical distinction isn't important. If a user disables cookies, what the user is expecting is that persistent storage won't happen at all.

Renaming it to disabling "persistent storage" would be fine, too, except that it would be necessary to explain what "persistent storage" means.
Can anyone confirm if BLOOM is better than GPT-3 at instruction following? I might have read somewhere that it's not as well behaved.
It is a fork, but that was really long time ago, most parts of both engines were completely rewritten so for all intents and purposes these are completely different engines.
Ideally, we need both Gecko and WebKit to be healthy, with additional promising alternatives on the horizon.
> How is it overblown? It's a descriptive title that is certainly controversial, but if you accept that particular viewpoint, it's simply descriptive.

Suuuure. Nothing remotely overblown about the sole popular name for conflict involving English speakers with "aggression" or similar being that one. Completely normal name for a war with no propaganda value for Lost Cause mythology, and just coincidental its print usage maps perfectly to Southern indignation at the Civil Rights movement.
Russia claims that it cannot deliver gas due to sanctions-related parts and maintenance issues with the pumping equipment. It is likely that the Russian strategy is to drive down EU gas reserves to the point where the EU drops its sanctions in exchange for gas this winter.

Private companies are allowed to do a lot of immoral things because lobbying prevents the law from accurately reflecting the values of the voting public.

Nazis shouldn't get a website, even if the law permits it, and everyone has a moral obligation to fight fascism.

At around the same time that it actually resembles "the new data", or maybe even shares a single quality with it? Being a physical object, it is bound by physical properties... like scarcity. Data, being an abstract concept, suffers no such constraint. Same story for whatever artistic technique you've imagined to be not only valuable, but novel to all of human experience and wholly owned by you and you alone. Your valuation of your worth and that of your labor is laughably overinflated and the market is telling you so. Period.
Authors will just move content out of jurisdiction and stop caring. It's really hard to imagine that (say) France will extradite someone to California because their website didn't check your ID.
