In the hands (ass?) of a top chess player presumably one could just send a binary signal as to whether a chess engine thinks there is a big move available ahead (i.e. take risks now).
You might be thinking of Beowulf, which Robert Zemeckis did a version of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_(2007_film)
I did not find where to do this based on the baby talk description in the article.

It's hard enough to verbally specify how to do something with a GUI. The abomination of Flat Design makes it even harder.
> Gorhill actually states that there are many improvements only possible because of V3.

I think that's a charitable - to the Chrome team - misunderstanding of an artificial limitation they've imposed. The improvements are possible without MV3:

* declarativeNetRequest is implemented today, they could expose it in MV2

* nothing prevents Google Chrome from continuing to offer the current onBeforeRequest API as a permission extensions can request in MV3

* nothing prevents Google Chrome from working with developers like gorhill, who are sensitive to performance concerns as you'll see below, to develop more powerful APIs that fit within a security and performance profile that satisfies end users, gorhill, and the Chrome team.

On performance: While many of the performance improvements are made possible with a declarative API, uBlock Origin uses WebAssembly for an extremely performant fully dynamic blocking implementation that has almost no impact on battery life. (I believe other experiments have shown that blocking these requests yields increases in battery life, even.) You can see some benchmarks here that were posted from his experimentation: https://raw.githack.com/gorhill/uBlock/master/docs/tests/hns...

On security: gorhill has proven that he's capable of writing WebAssembly to implement highly performant and sandboxed checking of dynamic filters. WebAssembly is in fact the perfect technology for a "declarativeNetRequest" to use. Could Chrome cut the Gordian knot of enabling performant and safe ad blocking extensions with an API that registers a WASM program as web request filter?

The program could be limited to pass/fail/redact actions, where redact would involve removing headers, query parameters, trailing path parts. That is, "utm_campaign=..." could be removed, but the extension would not have a side channel for injecting information into requests.

...of which we have knowledge now.

Keeping it humble is a general challenge. However, one feels confident that human knowledge is still closer to the beginning than to the fullness of any macro, micro, or historical understanding of the universe.

Were we capable of observing this romantic past, one surmises that we'd be shocked at how normal and boring it all is. Modulo technology, Solmon's observation holds constant: "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

Yes. I've had both installed while 2.0 was in beta, and can confirm that the portable installation mode that a sibling comment mentioned does keep the two separate.
I have to say, this post if anything is a meta argument that Plato was actually right. Behold the impatience and inattentiveness to read a short section that literally takes two minutes to parse. The internet has made people far to impatient.
> Don’t pretend you want to help people if you don’t actually care what is most effective at helping them.

I want to help people. I just recognize reality. All of what you have suggested has been tried, and has failed, and now the streets of San Francisco are unrecognizably bad. Dystopian sci-fi movies from the 1980s are actually better than the reality on the streets today.

Also, who are we trying to help? Personally I care more about the person living in an apartment who has to deal with crazy people stabbing each other outside of their window in the morning than I do about the crazy people stabbing each other. Not enough attention has been paid to the people who are trying to live upright lives while being surrounded by this violence -- going to work, raising children, etc. They matter too.
My understanding is that katakana is used for situations where it’s the sound that is important, not necessarily the meaning. So it’s used for loan words, but also for onomatopoeia, and when writing your name down on a waitlist at a restaurant. (Often it is not clear how to pronounce a name from how it is written)
No, if you have a single extension that needs to block requests using manifest v3, you're not going to run into the problem that everyone's been pointing out.
I still have a rotary landline (well, VOIP, using a Grandstream ATA).

You can chain routers. disable the isp router's wifi, or just ignore it. Then place your router of choice on the LAN side of the ISP's router as the its Ethernet client. Make up a new subnet of your choice on your router's LAN side and use its wifi and DHCP.
> the treasury feels that spending money [] is always wrong

Governments virtually always make poor tech investment decisions. It is depressing watching my New Zealand government throw away serious coin on poor technology investment decisions.

Business friendly infrastructure is fertiliser which would cause businesses to grow like weeds. Simplify government mandated interactions, and lower risks caused by unnecessary government regulations. Create simple rules for businesses to be founded. Reduce red tape in areas like payroll, insurance, tax, employment law, etcetera.

In New Zealand, government red tape is not too bad, as compared to many other countries. But it is still a heavy burden for a founder, with a lot of unnecessary requirements. The barriers need to be lowered because creating a business is hard enough without the extra burden of a bunch of government regulated crap.

I’m not saying delete all rules, I am saying prioritise rules and provide default systems that make it easy to follow necessary rules correctly. Remove needless rules and make it easy to conform to the rules; by providing good resources, providing good default software, and by having some rules staggered so that they are only applied after relevant targets are exceeded (a few years, number of employees, total revenue, whatever).

Keep the important rules, provide necessary protections for employees, provide social fallback for failure (ACC, welfare, health systems). The limited liability company was an amazing innovation a long time ago, because it removed a bunch of risks.
Sounds pretty accurate! Hopefully they get it configured properly!
I admitted that my original comment was factually incorrect. It was wrong. I said that.

However, the point has always been about the comparison between Google and Apple. Given that their total revenues are of different size, how can we reasonably compare them?

What if we add a 3rd competitor to the arena? Let’s look at Outbrain. They’re a digital advertising marketplace w/ $256M annual revenue. By your argument, $256M << $1B — therefore we should take Apple to care more about their advertising business than Outbrain do about theirs?
During the LAN party era my friends and I played the crap out of that series. The engine wasn't as sophisticated as what iD et all were doing, but worked perfectly fine for the gameplay. We'd spend hours trying to one up each other in deathmatch.

Another gem of a game I think a lot of people overlooked that has some similarities is Natural Selection 2. This is a sort of aliens vs space marines FPS and RTS hybrid. It never really blew up but still has a community.
I was perplexed by this happening since I'd have figured the level of expertise in OpenAI's executive team would make them unlikely candidates to lose out strategically (vs against something more out of their control).

But maybe it was overconfidence? Or maybe what Stable Diffusion did was really just unpredictable.
I wouldn't really call that compression any more than a bad witness recounting of an event. Reminds me of that photocopier with that could scan more into memory but had a habit of flipping digits in the output copies with strokes that clearly were not present on the input.
I'm pretty sure I have ads on my LG C1 on my input switch screen. Maybe there is a way to turn it off, but I tried (for all of two minutes) and couldn't find one.

If they didn't want to continue serving the film until the heat death of the universe, then that's what they should have done differently, rather than just unilaterally screwing over all the buyers.
Both companies profit from ads when you claim one did not. If you’re looking at the percentage revenue projections from ads Apple’s has been growing faster than Google’s.
books and lectures don't "work"

if you do the thinking you'll be able to answer the questions
Tangential question: is it possible to evaluate the “information density” of characters of various alphabets and then evaluate, by setting aside all other important factors, the “efficiency” of an alphabet?

The Greek alphabet looks, to super biased me, fairly simple in comparison to others. And yet it only has 26 characters, not 90 or whatnot. So perhaps the complexity is completely necessary.

What about an alphabet that’s as minimalist as possible? Does one have to then fight with distinctiveness?

Are there any examples of alphabets that are both inefficient and hard to distinguish between similar characters? Did they evolve or fall out of favour?

What about data loss?
How subtly “decayed” could letters be before you can’t differentiate similar ones?

I’m suddenly so interested in all this…
This is mostly just a cheap trick, but see if you can convert a statement into a question.

Then maybe think about whether you're curious about the answer. Do you want to know more?
"Until and unless Google meaningfully commits to never neuter ad blockers, it's still critical and urgent that we switch to Firefox."

Why would Google ever commit to keep ad blockers working, unconditionally. It makes no sense.

I use Firefox in sometimes on mobile. I use Chrome for online banking and shopping. This usage is an extremely small portion of web use for me. (Does that make me an "actual user" under the Google employee's definition.) The majority of the time using the web I do not use a popular browser from a "tech" company. I use simpler software I can edit and compile myself, quickly and easily. I have all the "features" I need.

As such, 99% of the time I never see any ads. Google can do whatever it wants with Chrome. I still see no ads. I am not using it.

Unless and until one considers that there are other ways to access the web besides those dictated to us by "tech" companies, then one cannot seriously claim to be trying to avoid advertising. Firefox is funded by Google and other "search provider" profits from advertising services. Mozilla is against some forms of online tracking, but they are absolutely pro-advertising. I just watched their "Chief Security Officer" state this on video to the FTC earlier in the month. Are we supposed to believe there is some "standoff" between Mozilla and Google (or any other "tech" company, i.e., "search provider") over advertising. That would be pure fantasy. Mozilla (Corporation)^1 is like any other "tech" company. It has no business plan. It has nothing to sell that could sustain it as an employer of software developers. It only has its position as an intermediary, to assist with online advertising, in Mozilla's case to assist by sending search traffic to Google, and whatever else is required by their royalty agreements with "search providers".^2

1. https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2020/mozilla-fdn-202...

2. Mozilla even sells its own advertising services:

Advertising revenues - Mozilla also offers advertising services in three formats. The first is the New Tab advertising service, which places links to sponsored content when a new tab is opened in the Firefox web browser. The second format is through Pockets email product, Pocket Hits. Pocket Hits may include paid advertisements, which are placed in email newsletters that get delivered to global Pocket users. Lastly, Mozilla also sells web advertisement spots on content that Mozilla licenses and syndicates from publisher partners across the web.

Along with a "service" to remove advertising:

Subscription revenues -

Included in a Pocket Premium subscription are features like full text search on saved articles, removal of advertising from Pocket properties, the ability to create unlimited highlights and the ability to create a permanent library of everything a user has saved.

For me, playing both side of the coin, charging for advertising services and charging for advertising removal services, does not rank high on the scale of company integrity. But this sort of "playbook" seems quite common for "tech" companies. For example, Google does it with YouTube ("YouTube Red", now "YouTube Premium").
Yeah. I live in an apartment because house prices are crazy. So not for me...
> I have difficulty imagining accidental ignition in an underwater gas pipeline. Where would the oxygen come from? Plus it's more than one explosion on the same day - can't be a coincidence.

There may not be a need for ignition; the news articles are saying pressures in Nordstream 1 dropped from 105 bar (1,522.9 PSI) to 7 bar (101.5 PSI). The water pressure at 100m where the pipe is is ~10 bar, so about a 1377.9 PSI difference in pressure.

A pipe with 1,377.9 PSI difference pipe that's 1.1m in diameter rupturing seems like it would cause a blast even without igniting.

I could also be way off-base. My physics and chemistry classes were a long time ago, and had nothing to do with explosions.
> Every time I visit my Mom she has some Chrome extension that steals all her traffic and reads every page and reports back to some shady company.

Manifest V3 doesn't stop this.

Also, Google reviews every extension and update on the Chrome Web Store. The API is irrelevant when Google is asleep at the wheel.
Yes, I would have expected to replicate the standard user interface. That's what we did, here.[1] (at 00:08). That antique phone (actually a 1970s replica) produced a dial tone if lifted, and then you could dial calls. It's running over cellular, via a commercial box that interfaces landline phones to Bluetooth, comprehends dial pulses, and can generate ring voltage.

I'm a firefox user and have no love for Google, but I disagree with this. No one is forcing you to use Chrome. This is also a good test for Mozilla/Brave to show if they truly stand by the principles they profess to defend. If Chrome did everything right we would not have needed Firefox/Brave for the reasons they currently exist. And if they follow suit, I hope the community will take a long hard look at the state of the browsers and try to fork Firefox or build something new.
Automation has made cars higher quality, but I'm not sure it has made clothing better, or food. What it does do is create the cheapest options possible, edging away on quality to have a cost reduction. Whether consumers benefit from favoring quantity over quality is not clear, but "consumers" are also "workers" and are harmed in that way by automation too.

It's complicated.
I tried to make the switch after last week's uBlock Origin Lite post but there are just so many rough edges. For example:

1) You go to https://i.imgur.com/vuUyLnz.gifv.

2) You decide to skip the beginning so you "Right Click > Show Controls" and use the controls to skip the beginning.

3) You decide to skip to the end so you move your mouse over to where the controls should be but they don't reappear.

4) They're gone and the only way to get them back is to "Right Click > Show Controls" again.

There are a lot of rough edges like that. I'd almost rather not use browsers than use Firefox in its current state.
The example shown on the Refurb GitHub page is a little unfortunate. As you say, there is also a potential scalability problem with the original design if the input file is too large to hold in memory in its entirety.

In the example, that issue could be avoided with minimal cost by reading the file lazily:

with open(filename) as f:
for line in f:
do_same_things_with(line)

The specific change Refurb suggests instead doesn’t have this benefit.

However, in general switching to a lazy design won’t always be as safe and easy as it is here, so I’m not sure what I’d ideally want a tool to say in this situation. You’d need much more sophisticated analysis of the original code’s design if you wanted to do something like warning about unnecessarily reading an entire file and suggesting the lazy alternative. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to warn about all uses of the functions that will read the whole file at once, because often with Python scripts that’s a simple and effective way get the required job done and the added complexity from a more scalable design isn’t needed or justified.

Writing good style checkers is hard. :-)

> Ignore anyone who tries to compare this to recreational DXM consumption because they're quite different.

Other promising trials for a fast acting treatment of treatment-resistant depression are using single doses up to 600mg of DXM. My personal experience is that a single dose of 600-900mg of dextromethorphan will cure depression like aspirin cures a headache, with the depression-suppressing effect lasting from a month up to 6 months and longer. The considerable side-effects of such a large dose are mitigated by 20mg of pepsid and allowing the sedative effects of DXM to sleep through the hallucinations, delusions, susceptibility to suggestion, etc.

But we'll leave it to pharmaceutical companies to develop a patentable formula that requires the patient to take pills for the rest of their lives. Imagine if headaches were treated the same way. This ubiquitous ideology of permanently medicating mental health patients is nothing less than the commercialism of mental illness. Patients are being farmed by Big Pharm.

There is a widespread stigma in medicine and society at large against self-medicating and specifically against using DXM to treat depression, due to its abuse by 14-year-olds and drug cowboys. I've only quoted you to remind you of same and that dosages of DXM in comparison to other pharmaceuticals is entirely arbitrary (for example, aspirin bottles indicate 650mg for a headache). The lethal dose of DXM is an estimation because, as of yet, no one has managed to achieve a fatal overdose of DXM. So it is a safe drug, and because it has been off patent since the 1950's, we're not going to see any ordinary unadulterated formulations. Lucky thing, DXM is not a controlled substance.

The problem is not just closed proprietary systems, but centralization. Usenet is distributed. A server uses store-and-forward and then floods the messages to everyone else, eventually propagating all messages to everyone. Today it's rarely the case, even some decentralized networks are not as distributed as Usenet. If one doesn't subscribe to a node, it effectively doesn't exist.
