As a macOS user, I was very well impressed by this project (mostly Orion browser) but, I simply can't use the basic plugins I need with it.

Been trying to get Workona plugin to work with it (both the Chrome and Firefox versions) on every Orion beta update, but nothing, it just doesn't work.

I'm starting to wonder if it's Orion that doesn't support some API call, or if I misconfigured something, but, there's no documentation that shows either.
Then you aren't very imaginative. Teachers have literally had this happen to them for a couple decades now. As have politicians.
So the store owner/manager/employee has to figure out first if they were robbed by a college student in order to figure out who to call? Also it seems much less likely for the store to receive compensation and may lead to more instances if the school can't or won't make a punishment that disincentivizes others. The police and court system can do that.

It is not compute that is killing them - it is using the Google and Bing API's for many searches. They charge a lot for those. In your Kagi account you can see exactly how many searches you have done and how much you have cost them (and it could easily be higher than your 10$ a month if you do a lot of searching)

I'd like to point out that the US had people with literally Nazi flags walking through the streets attacking people who looked different, supported by a significant portion of the establishment (including a president). I would not call that minor transgressions. How do you think Hitler got into power?
> If that were the case, I think youd see a lot more people designing cores.

Why? Designing fast and efficient cores is difficult and expensive. Almost certainly more expensive than licensing a pre-designed core. You've got to have a clear business need and the money (and expertise) to do it.
bug: TypeScript is not an ECMAScript superset post-ES2015
I can recommend Vaadin[1]. It feels like a successor to GWT, feels natural for backend develops and looks similar to Swing.
A big component library is included and it offers binding for Typscript webcomponents (there's a frontend-centric variant of the framework named Hilla too).

Frontend states are held in a backend session, so it's safe for manipulations but i'd only recommend it for management UIs.

Yeah, I don't think the UK deserves a place in the highest tier for "free expression".

https://fee.org/articles/uk-man-arrested-for-malicious-commu...

Some European countries have questionable laws too, but I haven't seen anything quite as extreme.
> It's ridiculous that government agencies can decide critical things about people's lives but the decision framework is totally arbitrary.

Arguably that's what we elect governments to do. And if they're doing a bad job of it, they get voted out. Obviously it's not a very fine grained system and there's an argument for a constitutional requirement for legislation to be reviewed periodically but that carries the risk of even more bureaucracy and effective regulation being repealed for ideological/partisan reasons rather than any sort of evidence based analysis.
Yeah good point! Some sports teams are more specialized than others! I love the analogy because you're absolutely correct. Some software teams are much more specialized and closer to football than basketball.

You can also see it in basketball where even though the positions are less specialized than football, you sometimes have a coach who demands things run a certain system (Phil Jackson's triangle offense is a good example). Sometimes a great player just can't be effective in that system.

But take a coach who is more flexible, and they could make it work.

But which is better?? It's hard to say since there are great arguments on both sides. I think it basically comes down to having the right coach with the right team at the right time.
Very naive.
We should stop talking about it and just go.... I'm busy that day though, who wants my place ...
I'm saying intolerance in broader society is an incredible weakness that encourages and gives power to intolerance in the state.

People are begging for authoritarian solutions to what they view as moral problems in society. If they can't convince people to do "what's right" they want the state to do it by force. It then becomes easy for authoritarians to take power because it's literally what the people are asking for, and then when they are in power it is easy to shape public opinion to be whatever they want.

>This is very different to saying something politically controversial and losing my job because a company doesn’t want to go against public opinion.

It really isn't. Corporations are taking the place of the state. If you say something controversial and can't get a job as a result and end up in a dire living situation, does it really matter if it was a few corporations or a dictator that made you unemployable?
I was considering using Flutter for a simple Android app, but app size is just unreasonably huge, as it includes Dart runtime. Funny enough, the hybrid web app approach, e.g. using CapacitorJS to package web app to apk weighs a lot less, in some cases it might be even smaller than native app (considering it is using androidx dependencies).
Another problem was, that I have to learn whole new language - Dart, which is not used anywhere else.
YMMW, my own experiences should not stop you from trying out a new framework, maybe it will just work for you just fine.

1. "banning foreign ownership" would result in Portugalexit at best, perhaps a Zairization of Portugal, or even worse - no thanks.

What's wrong with large industrial projects?

It's exactly what we need at this moment - in fact, both Portugal and EU-scale.

This would cost a small fraction of the Quantitative Easing program from the European Central Bank.

(and these Massive Real Estate buildouts must include the lessons in Urbanism learned from past such projects)

3. State sector raises salaries, private sector is forced to follow.
Just raising minimum wage is positive, but not enough. This tends to compress people to the bottom salary tier and promote even more brain drain.
>And yes there is huge difference between swimming naked and in some swim shorts

I didn't say "swim shorts", I said underwear, which tend to be tight fitting and not baggy. And there really isn't a "huge difference."
I agree that increasing public research funding is a good idea, but it can only fix the payline & hype problem (increase efficiency) temporarily, until universities once again expand their departments. For example, the NIH budget increased by ~ 2.5× between 98 and 03, which prompted many universities to form new biomedical departments. In a way, that's exactly the intended effect. The point of increasing funding was to do more science, and to a degree more researchers = more science. But hiring out-competed the funding increase and ultimately created the problems highlighted in the posted article. The capacity to consume money can always grow faster than funding.

On Hacker News we often talk about bad incentives in science from an individual's perspective, but the main incentive problem is at the organizational level. From an organizational perspective, every additional grant-seeking researcher is still a marginal benefit, no matter how little time they actually spend on research. E.g., even a 99% marketing 1% research split (an exaggerated ratio, only for illustrative purposes) means adding another "researcher" is still a marginal benefit to the organization even though it wastes most of public's money on institutional growth rather than science. The equilibrium state is a near-total focus on grant-seeking and marketing. To ensure the public's money is spent effectively, funding agencies need to pay more attention to designing their policies to counteract this tendency.

You might get your wish regarding the NSF specifically though. An 18% increase will make a difference for a couple years: https://nsf.gov/about/budget/fy2023/index.jsp
Some company took over my meetup because I missed a payment. Once, aka for a single month. For a meetup that I ran since around 2013.

Now they use the meetup to make advertisements for their own consultation services, and they have the identical talk under a different name for now the 20th+ time, with the same speaker for years.

Everybody from the old scene left the meetup and realized that it's gone to shit, but they somehow manage to catfish still a lot of people with this strategy.

No idea why they keep doing this, and I stopped caring. They do this with all sorts of programming language related meetups, and it's always the same talk in one form or the other, and they do this all over Germany. It's ridiculous.

If you want to google them: "thinktecture meetup" and you'll find yourself in groundhog day.

Is there anyway to keep up with this stuff / beginners guide? I really want to play around with it but it's kinda confusing to me.

I don't have an M1 Mac, I have an Intel one with an AMD GPU, not sure if i can run it? don't mind if it's a bit slow, or what is the best way of running it in the cloud? Anything that can product high res for free?

That is the lowest possible bar for free speech, which as a philosophical principle goes way further. Here's a good talk from Hitchens on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2uzEM0ugY

I'm not a free speech person, but since I think you're unwittingly falling for a strawman I think I can help.

Contrapoints also made a really good response (against) hitchens you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMIDAUdQ56E
If you find clandestine chemistry interesting, then listen to Hamilton Morris’ podcast. He has interviewed many clandestine chemists, mostly retired. They’re a class of prohibited scientists, hellbent on advancing psycho-chemical knowledge against all the odds.

A sample of recent episodes:
“Interview with a clandestine MDA enantiopurifier”
“The psychedelic supply chain”
“The True Story of the Penis Envy Mushroom”

Stranger stories are hard to find.
Without k-diffusion support, I don't think this replicates Stable Diffusion experience:

Yes, running on M1/M2 (MPS device) was possible with modifications. img2img and inpainting also works.

However you'll run into problems when you want k-diffusion sampling or textual inversion support.
Happy to help you deploy some pipelines once you're ready!
Since you said it was a standard expectation, you can point to polls that show this sentiment, right? Leaders of major projects saying that blockchain means stealing is ok and the government shouldn't prosecute it?

Or is it a thing you made up to win an argument. It is, isn't it. You made this up.
For a job at a small new game studio, first there was a slightly technical but mostly informal chat with a Director of Engineering where he asked me about things from my resume and my website (I keep a blog where I write about side projects). I love when interviewers take the time to look at my website and ask me about it because I can talk about that stuff all day.

Then they gave me an assignment to build a particle system. They provided a rendering framework and then I wrote the code to generate the particles. It was so much fun that I spent a lot of time on it. The follow-up was a panel with four engineers and we just went over my particle system code where they asked me about my reasoning for certain design choices, possible edge cases, etc.

It was all very positive and I got the job.

I much prefer the code review style of interview because I'm not good at writing code or problem solving while someone is watching. I've never been offered a job that had any sort of coding/whiteboarding component. My brain often presents novel solutions to complex problems at 2AM after I've slept on it, or during a walk around the block, and that sort of thinking isn't exemplified well in many technical interview scenarios. Talking about code I've already written is much closer.
Defense in depth. First, the common RPC identity and authorization system provided RPC identity to the GFS API calls, and there was a common user/group system. GFS had ACLs and so despite what was said up-thread most people could _not_ access the data in the Gmail GFS cells. The team membership vs runtime user setup also ensured that Gmail SREs using their own credentials could not directly access the GFS cells (but once you have root on the storage boxes, that somewhat disappears). Second, on top of that you have encryption, using an encryption key service which would spot anomalies in things asking for the decryption keys to decode the stored data.
Imagine the future, where you could replace all stock Android apps with PWA alternatives.
I'm curious, where did you leave to, if I can ask?

Investors don't oppose regulation, they usually assume it.

The criminals running all the crypto ponzi schemes hate regulation.

But sell it to "investors" as though it's actually regulated and low risk.

Nice work! We're really proud of how the warehouse sync feature we built at Customer.io turned out. We had to do it all from scratch though!

Good luck with the next steps for Pipebird.
And only 40 minutes for this thread to become about Hitler.
It seems you're answering a narrow question focusing on "all". At this point, you may as well argue "there are people in persistent vegetative state, so 'no, not all brains are good at math'". This doesn't seem like a charitable interpretation of what the focus is on. If we are looking at the 95% of the population, excluding the obvious examples, your argument might not apply very much.

I think the claim is also contingent on what is meant by math (how far do you need to go to be proclaimed "good" at it) - and I doubt calculus is a requirement.

For your argument to work, you'd need to confront whether in fact at least 95% of the general population would be capable of understanding enough math for (and here we can differ on what "good" is, but I'd say something like) general understanding of algebra and its application towards regular life activities (e.g. understanding percents, exponential growth, loan interest payments, solving for an unknown, etc).

Why is being nude normal in some places, but not others? That suggests that a stigma exists in one but not the other, and so participating in one or the other is implicitly supporting that.
There are definitely some characteristic deformations that only AI does. Sort of cubist repeating of elements at transition points.
I had similar level of accident prone-ness as a kid and still a lot of freedom,

sped down a giant incline right into a wall of concrete+rebar and had neighborhood kids literally carry me back home, stapled myself burnt myself on soldering irons cuts bruises so on... that kind of stuff I dont think even affects me physically, what sticks with me was the freedom to experiment with anything (I was also a bit of a rule breaker, breaking into unoccupied apartments in our building as a kid)
I feel like it was implied just fine by "any address you like".
Some places even support the same password with inverted caps. So say, if your password was "passWORD", then "passWORD" and "PASSword" would work. If the first hash fails, they'll invert the case, re-hash, then check again.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately; human languages are only 5,000 years old. Humanoid spatial reasoning, intuiting “enough heat, food, water” is a set of fundamental problems we evolved to survive.

I’d say it’s more than just “all brains” and say “all bodies”. Maybe our brains gave us the ability to generate syntax to capture meaning but our bodies play a role in letting us know when we are “cold” as a response to external measure. A body is a gradient of spatial points, matter interacting with fields; not just the brain.

Rigid physical models of the past must give way to updated awareness, an idea many have understood throughout time. People missing 80% of their brain have gone on to live full lives, graduate from higher education, succeed in a career. The brain is not the center of our awareness, merely a component.
If the site is just using google api in the html source it's probably not too hard to extract the location from the javascript. A quick search shows there are browser scripts for that. But they could protect against by calling the streetview api from their server (if google allows that) and only serving the images to the user.
These Workers Were the Bosses' Favorites. Now They Feel Jilted
I think it's mostly about how it's taught.

As much as I like math, I really don't like math education. It's one of those subjects which is simple to understand conceptually but the terminology used to explain math is both overcomplicated and inadequate.

The way people typically use English is too ambiguous to describe something which requires as much precision as math... And people who are good at math aren't particularly good at communication. Also, mathematicians like to keep inventing new words instead of reusing existing words; reading math articles on Wikipedia often requires a LOT of clicking through definitions to make sense of really simple concepts. Ironically though, when it comes to symbols, mathematicians love to reuse the same symbol for different things (depending on the specific field).
That's not difficult to comprehend at all. It sounds like you're not comprehending my point.
I do like how after all that talk of "idiomatic rust" we still end up with what is substantially assembly code with extra steps to get any real speed
