If the audio was actually sent to MS, I'd feel no worse than I would about Google getting it for live transcribe; the privacy implications annoy me but I'd rather have the captions.

That said, Win11 live captions work on-device and are not server-bound, and I've confirmed this by playing audio files and having captions still work while entirely off the internet.

For that matter, while I'm not an Android user - Google has moved most of their captions processing on-device and that is the same approach Apple is taking with theirs.
Correct, but it still seems to be functioning somewhat. https://bibliogram.art/

Plus,this project's last release is from before that announcement.
Graphql fans will attempt to convince you the way you’re querying data is wrong. You can do triggers if needed but graphql to me seems like a solution to internal enterprise data wrangling ootb. I don’t see the benefit of using it over an orm when you add in multiple databases, a working data store, etc
CNAME cloaking is one of the more significant differences. It's typically used for tracking (and is becoming increasingly common), but also works for advertising. Instead of linking images/scripts/etc. to ads.advertisingcompany.com you can simply set up a CNAME under your TLD that points to the advertising company. Now the domain no longer appears in the blocklist, so all the requests (uploading tracking data, or downloading adverts/scripts) work just fine.

With MV2, uBlock is able to inspect the DNS record while it is vetting the request, thwarting this workaround.
In this thread: people getting mad about Google dropping a product they've never heard of, let alone used.
Agree. This study is assuming the intent of the feature is to remove those types of videos. In reality the intent is to use it as one of many signals to make better ML recommendations. Oftentimes, there are also differences in revealed and stated preferences.
Remove the ability to search for keywords, but add a Tictok like interface. The AI will then learn our preference and surface pages we want to see.
They did a lot more good by making a company rather than sticking around in academia and publishing a few extra papers.
This oft repeated reason to suppress speech is absolute bullshit.

Be honest. The goal is to shut down people who have views that make you uncomfortable.

The idea is to have some broad definition of “extremist” that can be applied subjectively. Your hope is that the people who wield this censoring power are in your political party.

My question to you is: What will you think if/when there is a regime change and your opposition now holds the censorship power you helped create?
If an apple is cut in half, does the apple still exist? When the halves are brought together, at what distance between the two does the apple start existing?
YouTube shorts annoy me.

When you go into a channel to see what other videos they have and you see that most of the new videos are all shorts, it's quite unpleasant. I don't understand why there isn't a dedicated tab for shorts.

Just so many ugly things.
In the old days (Netscape Navigator) you'd get an annoying popup asking you if you wanted to store cookies. Firefox came from the open sourcing of Netscape. How things repeat!
YouTube doesn't care about your "preferences." It only cares about what it predicts your behavior will be. If you tell your drug dealer that you're trying to quit crack, he's still going to sell you more crack.
This doesn't work well in practice, because part of structured concurrency (at least as Python Trio introduced it) is to have a sane story about cancellation and timeouts. There isn't a safe way to cancel an OS thread or process short of some prearranged handshaking-- the thread or process being wrapped certainly needs to cooperate.

Coroutines give you an easy way to manage cancellation. Essentially, any yield back to the scheduler is an opportunity to inject a cancel into the task. The code run within the task doesn't need to do anything special (beyond not starving the scheduler).
I often wonder if the people who work at youtube actually use youtube.
Some mitigations include:

- Rotating important passwords, so old copies are less useful

- Bucketing into multiple vaults, easier with file based tools like KeePass, though you could have separate accounts on various SAAS vaults

- Requesting to be forgotten from old services, especially those which have shared PII and passwords

- Hardware 2FA
I guess it depends on your definition if distinguishable, but as someone who has dabbled with most ML frame interpolation techniques, this appears just as artifact ridden.

> These issues are all fixable by acting as proxy and inspecting/modifying/replacing requests on the fly (in sync/blocking mode).

That is not possible in MV3, and is the center of the entire problem.
Thanks for the date confirmation, I'd not dug that far through Mozilla's links.

I'd encourage them to make that information more apparent earlier in the link-train.

And yeah, agreed on YouTube's algo-feedback uselessness, and the value of solid data substantiating general impressions (mine as well).
Keirin bikes need to be built out of approved frames and parts, I’m surprised there isn’t a road racing category with similar rules
What kind of company is it; startup? Is it a hard external deadline or self imposed?

At a startup for an externally imposed deadline (or otherwise some hard commitment) I would suck it up and retro and then decide based on the retro results.

For self-imposed deadlines where make or miss isn't directly under your or your small teams control I would not work too much personally.

Every single time I put in extra effort to hit internal deadlines that were ultimately outside my control I was burned. Every time.
Backend for Front-end
I vouched this. I have no idea whether it's true, but I think it's worth discussing and relevant to the topic. My first real introduction to fixed points was in Dijkstra's weakest precondition semantics of imperative programs, where supplies the semantics of a while loop (via the Knaster-Tarski theorem). I wouldn't be surprised if there were indeed something deeper and more general there.
> Why the hell does Youtube want me to look at that?

One answer is that some assumptions that YouTube makes about the viewers is based on very broad stereotypes; the geek who’s into CGI also has a sexual side that they are about to discover through YouTube.
It's not just the word friend, but also the word love.

One my favorite intro's to a movie was Up. The amazing part is how deeply it communicated emotions without using any words.

Talk is cheap, characters in movies and shows will start saying they love each other after having met a week or two before. That's an L word, but it aint love.
It's nice that the Tandy's haven't seen the kind of price escalation that's affected other computers of the same vintage, especially compared their original price!
YouTube: (removes the ability to see dislikes)

Also YouTube: "dislike barely works!"
The usual response from me when I get a "needs to review the security of your connection" blockade from CF is "fuck off" along with a click of the Back button. Your content is likely not unique, especially if I'm coming from a search result, and I'll just go somewhere else more friendly instead.
I went once or twice to the one here in San Diego, years ago. They were smart and interesting people as I recall.
I'm desperate to find a podcatcher suitable for binging. macOS or iOS. Like chewing thru the 400 episodes of the (OG) History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps.

I've tried every iOS app I could find. They're all turrible for this use case. Yes, even Overcast. [1]

I truly wonder if anybody making the apps ever used their own apps.

I just tried gPodder. Alas, the UI is 1/4 size.

[1] Overcast shows played episodes in the unplayed tab. So to download episode 200, I have to scroll down thru 199 played episodes, then manually download the next episodes. Yes, I filed bug reports.
Did anyone here actually use this product?

As far as I can see, it allowed paid surveys to ask users a question within a custom android app, within YouTube in the pre roll ad slot, and within 3rd party sites in ad slots.

However, all 3 of those places also had internal surveys done by Google to ask questions like "Which of these brands have you seen an ad for in the past 24 hours?".

I'm not sure if I saw a single survey through Google Surveys in my 10 years on the internet... So it must have been a really niche product.
The only issue with the 102 is that it uses surface mount components throughout, while in the 100 they are only in the display module, which makes 100's easier to repair, but YMMV.
There is fraud in every aspect of life. Tax fraud, welfare fraud, credit card fraud, covid fraud, government grant fraud, charity fraud, bank fraud, etc etc etc… Yet every election is beyond reproach? I call bullshit.
I had a similar experience. My cryptography professor regularly linked to Wikipedia articles in his assignments as the reading to go with the assignment. Honestly, the last time I had a teacher really say something against using Wikipedia was in high school.
That's why I was so motivated to keep it! (I'm the author of the article!)
How Does a Modern Microprocessor Work?
I was living in Albany when the Chevron plant went up in 2012. I had just moved their from the Millbrae hills a year prior (to get closer to bart, and my friends) - where I was down wind of San Bruno in 2010. So, I have bad luck.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't hold Tesla accountable, but the gently implied premise that somehow this is a battery-exclusive problem is distasteful me.
3060 is enough to compete with PS5/XSX. Buy used one that will getting cheap.
Iirc correctly the hooks in functional react are classes under the hood (maybe I’m wrong and it’s functions, been awhile.) The advantage functional react has over class based is reusability. You could reuse classes before and functions within them but it gets harry keeping a clean architecture.

With functional components you can write hooks that allow you to reuse all state logic between components.
One has to question the sanity of a rewrite launched for the sake of notional orthodoxy. If it ain't broke...
> Almost all bugs are logic bugs or inconsistent state bugs (thanks OOP!), almost none are type bugs.

Many bugs of these classes can be avoided with a sufficiently expressive type system. There’s a reason that Haskell programmers say if it compiles, it probably works correctly.
Could you sell each customers PII for more than $2 on darkweb? I kinda doubt it, seems like fair fine to me.
It’s pretty common knowledge. Unless you have diarrhea or something, your body will use up just about everything that you eat.

https://cathe.com/do-you-absorb-all-of-the-calories-you-eat/

A textbook I saw said in terms of _mechanical_ efficiency, we get about 25% at converting calories to mechanical work, which beats an internal combustion engine!
That’s the definition of computer science.

And MW2 and the next few iterations sold nearly double that amount selling close to 30m each. It is fair to say MW2 is when it reached the height of relevance.

And while MW was a revelation the multiplayer was perfected in MW2(MW1 had map balance issues). MW2 also introduced the underrated Spec Ops co-op mode.
Not sure I understand because I use GraphQL with an ORM, Prisma with Postgres and Pothos which converts the Prisma schema into GraphQL types. It even has the ability to use Redis as a store. So we get all the features of an ORM and also typesafe queries.

Take a look at the high level architecture here: https://docs.tigrisdata.com/overview/architecture. I will be happy to go into more details.

`docker run -d -p 8081:8081 tigrisdata/tigris-local:latest` essentially gives you a local development version of Tigris to play around on your local machine as well as to allow you to build and test your application locally. We have a managed version of this in the cloud that essentially runs the entire platform on Kubernetes.

I am glad to hear that this is similar to what you have thought about building as well. As an application developer in my past life, I have seen so much pain building apps because eventually I end up spending more time on infrastructure and maintenance and less time on my application code. We have built Tigris to solve this by providing you with simple APIs to interface with data without dealing with a separate database system, a separate event storage system, a separate search system, etc.

We didn't go with graphQL because we want a more broad adoption and it seems like HTTP APIs are still the most widely used. At some point though I do envision us having graphQL support.

We are open source so would love your contribution regarding python client library.
Managements take the fire-aim-ready approach to projects. i.e. come up with a grandiose goal, set an unrealistic budget. Get some minor manager throw together a half-baked spec. Hire a sycophant project manager.

The viable plan: polish up your CV, get a better job. Your only responsibility is to yourself, your mental and physical health. If the managers want to burn down the company, that is their prerogative.
Agree for the OOP part, most devs doing the transition from Java,C# to TypeScript are using the tool to port what they learned and apply it to a JS project and projects like Angular are encouraging this by enabling experimental stuff like decorators, but missing the real point behind TS, the type checking system which is to be fair, really awesome.
Another option is to use temporary containers for everything but the sites where you'd like to stay logged in.
Every other day YouTube seems to want to give me another American local news channel, despite the fact I'm in Australia. I've marked them as "don't recommend" as I've seen them, but I'm still getting a lot of results for Fox Local Clapistan 7 all the time which just aren't relevant to me at all.

Yup. Search reveals two or three relevant videos but from that point on the search results are indistinguishable from the regular feed. And I get the same video recommended to me all the time. Sometimes back to back!
well, first off I am sorry to hear bad news and wish everyone affected well. Nobody wins in a real emergency and this is a hard job.

However, the quote about the California Highway Patrol at the bottom is not accidental or naive. There is a security response in California that is being implemented, whereby homeowners and private property owners are geofenced via their phones and other means, and the State of California has broad discretion on how far, and for how long, these emergency responses go on.

In other words, road closure was the old tool of the old Calif. Highway Patrol. But the new tools of individual GPS tracking via phone and vehicle, banning entrance and exit to very large areas, for broadly varying amounts of time, is being seized by emergency response agencies in the new times.

What is the proof of this? Two things from public sources.. One is the Mayor of a California town near Monterey actually, at a CalFIRE public briefing during an emergency, asking sheepishly how long the road closure to his entire town will be in effect, and the abrupt reply of the Highway Patrol officer on camera "it could be six months" .. Secondly, a website that shows new safety perimeters with status, that are very large (portions of a county) and did not exist as such previously.

Google have a ton of other ML features about you that they fit to the model and so you have been profiled to be a bit lecherous.[1] Do you feel good about that?

Think how it must feel to be profiled to be a crook or a bad credit risk or something else that actually impacts your life and is false. It's a little worrying.

[1] Other people like you like this so it is assumed you do also. Without "lecherous" ever being mentioned or even anything like suggestively dressed appearing as a model feature. It is really, really easy to accidentally train a statistical model to be wildly prejudiced. It seems significantly harder for us to categorize it when it happens as "other similar decisions are made by shockingly violent racist and evil humans and this model and those using it should be treated with the same or more derision as they claim not be so and ought to know better." Significantly harder for many good reasons as well as bad ones.
I really miss keyboard and mouse on gaming console. It's weird that devices originally for non-gaming is better than a gaming oriented device, but gamepad is really painful for some games like FPS/TPS.
Kind of. Vendor lock-in is only a part of why it's the only game in the town. Another, larger part is that AMD's software support is awful, and also that ATI/AMD were ignoring GPGPU/ML stuff for a while, letting Nvidia indoctrinate academia into using their stack.
Agreed! Boring interface definitions is my rule for typing.

I see way too many folks trying to use Omit<>(…) and Partial<>(…) creating absolute typing monstrosities. Feels like typing duct tape and it’s impossible to read the type definition when it’s generated in a tooltip.
The algorithms that are touted as offering a pathway to quantum Supremacy, by Shor[1] and Grover[2] both rely on the Quantum Fourier Transform[3], which includes a large number of iterations through a Controlled Phase Shift Gate[4].

Those phase angles are crucial to the success of the QFT. Any error in the phase can not be corrected with current methods of Quantum Error Correction[5], which focus strictly on making sure that Qubits are in a "pure" state, essentially ignoring phase.

I thus include that Quantum Gate Computing is all hype.

The approach Dwave took, of quantum annealing[6], seems to offer some hope of real world performance surpassing that of conventional computing. However, there may be some algorithm out there that can do that annealing faster on conventional hardware. Also, there may be a way of using analog electronics to simulate annealing much faster than can be done currently in a program.

Ask HN: How to help a friend “break into” tech?
I recently met a new friend who is in her early thirties. She has done a boot camp and in my opinion has a wonderful portfolio compared to many other boot camp graduates I’ve met. Unfortunately her organization seems to have done basically nil for job placement.

I’ve referred her to a few openings in my network and either they replied back that she was too junior or that she was too old (always in a euphemistic way, of course) to join their junior dev track.

I’m working on trying to get her into a returnship programme or an apprenticeship programme such as Microsoft’s leap. Any other advice? She’s an extremely hard worker, does pair coding every night after a 10-12 hour work day, and honestly puts me to shame when I look back at my early coding efforts. She’s the type of candidate (female, PoC, untraditional background) that companies claim to want - so how do I help her get her foot in the door?
Trash-80!
> the point is this is not being tackled as a purely economic endeavour (or if it is, it’s in the “indirect” manner), as such, I suspect roles like “product marketing” are probably unnecessary, at least for now

Which results in an interesting engine nobody uses. Products that start with the tech and then think of selling it fall on their faces for a reason.
It’s important to understand and internalize the difference between capability and willingness/desire to do something.

Servicing different content based on different visitors is a feature of any web server. If you are insinuating that CloudFlare does this without the domain/website owner’s permission/knowledge, cite your sources. That is the kind of insinuation/rumor that can destroy/erode the reputation of a cybersecurity company.
The low memory was another impetus for upgrading it. I use a REX chip upgrade, which gives me a lot more storage, but the RAM can only hold an article's worth of words at a time, anything longer and you're having to save and load segments. (I'm the author of the original article, glad you liked the dive into the guts. There's so much incredible documentation and books about the Tandy available for free now!)
Your source image is over a decade out of date. The current calculator has no simulated physical button contour, no simulated plastic face plate, no simulated LCD layout, or any other attempt to be mimic the materials and construction of a physical object. It uses a layout similar to all other calculators because there's no reason to make people change their mental model of entering numbers for computation. Same with the current iPhone dialer. It makes no attempt to appear like a physical object rather than an abstracted method of inputting data. Skeuomorphic doesn't mean "being like something else that exists in some way." The first paragraph from Wikipedia:

A skeuomorph (also spelled skiamorph, /ˈskjuːəˌmɔːrf, ˈskjuːoʊ-/)[1][2] is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system. Examples include pottery embellished with imitation rivets reminiscent of similar pots made of metal[4] and a software calendar that imitates the appearance of binding on a paper desk calendar.[5]

So a software calendar using the same layout as a paper calendar doesn't mean it's skeuomorphic. It means it's a calendar. If you had a totally unique calendar interface model but added a sewn leather binding graphic along the top, it would be skeuomorphic.
I agree that this is a great thing for any serious programmer to do. It depends on the person though. Someone that codes for fun would not want to spend any amount of time in a compiler text.
They’re different markets though. It’s like $50 bluetooth keyboards for the everyday user versus $200 mechanical keyboards with replaceable keycaps. The latter intentionally requires tinkering because it’s geared towards an enthusiast that enjoys the tinkering.
Or a state.
You are in a minority. Why do you think they built their recommendation system with you in mind at all? You've already paid, you no longer impact the fit of the short term revenue maximization objective function.
