Even if that were true the problem with the approach he has taken is that by leaking that you are going to perform swinging cuts, everyone who can get another job immediately starts looking so by the time you actually get around to doing the layoff the team has self-selected and you only have “those two guys” left.

> The US does not have an empire, it has a hegemony. Yes, there is a difference, and it matters.

So what, if Russia was asserting hegemony over Ukraine instead of a Special Military Operation that'd be cool? Or is it more that the US invasion of Iraq was seceretly welcomed by Iraqis because the US was only invading hegemonically rather than imperialistically?

If I were going to chose who is in charge I'd much rather have Americans because they tend to be competent. But sending in the army is sending in the army, and starting a war is starting a war.

> Of the 3 countries, one of them is currently engaged in a war which is explicitly about achieving its imperial ambitions, which is actually the fourth or fifth such war (depends on what you consider separate wars) it has conducted in my lifetime...

You must be what, in your 20s? Late teens?

If you were over 30 you'd note that Russia's progress on imperial ambitions have undergone a startling shrinkage. It isn't feasible for them to reform to their 1989 expanse and nobody is claiming they can. You'll note Putin's justifications spend a lot of time talking about NATO.

I haven't seen any evidence of 'imperial ambition' more serious than my ambitions to become King of Everything. Sure they'd like that outcome, they don't have a plan to get to it. There recent activity looks a lot more like desperate panic from being hemmed in by NATO. That is what makes sense from the sidelines, justifies the mobilisation a lot better and it lines up with what the Russians are saying.
Yeah my grades were terrible but there was this one time that the teacher had to regrade everyone because I spotted something he hadn't seen himself and so my solution was better than the one everyone was repeating by rote memorization.

I always took the elite classes so that stung a lot for all those perfect students.

I don't give a fuck about grades, that system of assessments is cruel and inaccurate. It makes people stupid.

> There is not enough sand in the world to build huge living spaces for everybody.

This is an absurd statement. There is beyond enough sand, dirt, and land in the world for way more than all of the humans that have ever existed to have plenty of living space. The real (and in this context, irrelevant) question is - should we use it? There is enough.

> Why would somebody buy a big monitor or TV for gaming if they can have 3D for less?

Because the 3D experience as it stands is frankly pretty cumbersome and nauseating. VR is tolerable in short and focused stints. Humans currently need actual reality and the aforementioned living space for health and sanity.
At this point we consider rustls about as secure or a little more. Ring is a high-quality set of primitives thats basically some carefully ported boringssl code, and both it and rustls have been around for a good while and have plenty of contributors. Tbh we like the lack of old legacy cruft (where most openssl bugs get found) as much as a memory-safe language, ditching all that ancient code we don't need really cuts down attack surface.

Probably true to some extent, but that's also why copyright laws are put in place, so there could definitely be laws made that could require licensing if you use it to generate an AI and then use it for commercial purposes.

Taking Lichess to the next level
I agree with most of your points in this thread, but with regard to Afghanistan the objectives of the US Army were frankly really nebulous and ill-defined to the point of total confusion. We'd waver back and forth between "destroy the enemy with no mercy" and "be nice, don't shoot unless shot at, make sure to talk about schools and democracy to the Taliban".

In the same general parameters of your critique on this post, if the US had actually treated Afghanistan like an Imperial Colony I actually think the outcome would've been much more palatable to all involved. Treat the country like a colony, and make them pay taxes for administering their security, forcibly educate (meaning: re-educate) the populous, hand off administration of the government in pieces over about 50 years as the civil infrastructure and information coordination systems mature. Alas, this would've been maybe 10x more expensive than what we already paid, and for reasons that should be obvious the model we used in Japan and Germany really doesn't quite fit in that place.
> I guess they are trying to do it slowly so they don't break stuff, but they're already doing things like removing FTS support.

FWIW, i can say with some authority that they have been waiting on this new sqlite/wasm stuff so that they can offer a replacement to WebSQL for their folks who still use it. Despite Google's long history of pulling the plug on products (G+, how you are missed!), they're not willing to outright drop WebSQL without a viable replacement.

It would not be difficult to write a drop-in workalike WebSQL wrapper on top of the new wasm/js APIs, and we (in the sqlite project) may even get around to doing so as time allows for. The difficulty would be making it "quirk for quirk compatible," as such quirks are not documented anywhere. OTOH, as far as we're aware, the only extant WebSQL implementation is the one in Chrome, so that's the only one which counts for purposes of quirks.
As far as I know, not any longer. At least publicly facing. The changes to Youtube in 2021 broke some of the functions, and he decided not to keep maintaining it and instead to move on to another project. The website was called EDM Engine, and was designed as a music marketing system that followed many of the design principles of the Vidya Internet Playlist created by the Aersia community. There is still a Facebook page that's up that might have screenshots of what it looked like, but I know people's aversion to going on that site.

Show HN: Google hijacking search from GitHub, Twitter, others
I couldn't find any relevant info about this. Maybe I'm part of some new Chrome experiment, or just very bad at searching.

Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/idXLYOJ

I opened a new Chrome tab just now, typed GitHub in the address bar. Opened the top suggested repository I'm checking frequently, and then used the GitHub search input box. As GitHub search results loaded, on the right side of the Chrome address bar I noticed a new, and colorful G icon. Animating and distracting, the icon expanded into a pretty big inline notification saying "See more search results". After a few seconds it animated and minimized itself back to the G icon.

Clicking the icon opens a right side panel with Google results of my GitHub query.

I then tried to search for something via the Chrome address bar. Without clicking on any of the results, I used the address bar again to open Twitter's home page (typing twitter.com). The animated G icon showed up again - right there on Twitter's home page.

Firefox installed.

> Are there any numbers on performance?

Tucked away in spreadsheets there are but we don't currently have any benchmarks in a publishable form. In broad strokes, i can assure you (as the one who performed the benchmarks) that the new sqlite wasm is competitive with WebSQL in terms of performance, with either one winning out in certain benchmarks. Given that WebSQL is implemented in native code and sqlite in wasmified C, we're quite happy with those results.

Note, however, that benchmarks are very browser-dependent. Firefox's wasm engine, for example, is significantly slower than Chrome's, but it's also more consistent. If you run a given test 10 times in FF, the difference in runtimes across them will be small (maybe 10%), whereas there will be a +/-50% difference in runtimes for the same tests in Chrome. In Chrome, if the dev tools are open when wasm is running, wasm's performance can (for unknown reasons) drop by as much as half or more even if the wasm code produces no output.

what a weird take. sure, if you're trying to keep it immaculate ALL the time like how it looks in pictures then it might be going a bit too far. but it doesn't really take a lot to keep a setup clean. don't eat at your table, throw garbage in a bin and every once in a while remove clutter if you feel like it's there.

Have you not seen the recent HN about Codepilot?

Developers had a similar response where they don't think that training a model using their copyrighted work is fair use, especially for commercial use.

They'd expect that the model authors would need to comply with the open source license like for any other use.

This is basically the debate here, it's same for artists or developers.

The question is if it makes sense to allow someone to use your copyrighted work to train a model that they'd then use for commercial purposes, without needing a license agreement.

So the assumption to be a genius is that you must start from zero? I completely reject that assumption. It’s false for so many true geniuses, like von Neumann. His dad was well connected, the same is true for John Stuart Mill and a bunch of others I can’t think of now.

This idea that every genius must be formed in a vacuum and can only be considered a “true” one if they can bootstrap themselves from nothing is an absurd idea peddled by underachievers who somehow find solace in their own mediocrity by nullifying the accomplishments of others who don’t fulfil their arbitrary starting conditions.

I agree, this is the best approach. With every improvement, technology increases the amount of tyranny required of governments to maintain the same level of control they had before. They used to be able to block specific sites, now they will have to block everything and cut themselves off from the internet.

Eventually, we'll end up with either uncensorable technology or a totalitarian government.

This excerpt from Elon's statement to advertisers pretty much lays down the intent:

"it is important for the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide society.

In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost."

That is commendable. That's what we should all want.

Will it happen?

That remains to be seen. Mass hatred towards someone (and his platform) with the above stated goals is nothing less than nonsensical. This is something that should be universally celebrated.

It's cheaper to build a VR headset than to build a house. Whoever is poor will buy a VR headset way before they buy a house.

Facebook is already handing out free internet in poor countries. They can double down and hand out free VR headsets. If they play it right, they will own the platform for remote work.

> We need UBI/social safety/cultural reform to support artists in doing art, a thing that's deeply important. We don't need IP laws that allow people to stifle creativity in order to collect rents on things that can be infinitely replicated for free

Which do you put in place first?

I think this is a bit of the issue with this argument. As automation does eat at jobs, you can say that the solution is UBI or something like it, but since that's not there, right now and until it happens (which could be never), it will affect people's livelihood, and it's fair for them to be pushing back.

If such social foundation was already here, I don't think people would be complaining as much, they'd probably be joyful that they'd no longer need to work as hard.

If inflation is caused by people having too much money then it is a self-correcting problem because as prices go up people will no longer have as much money. Soon enough they will not have too much money at all.

So what is the real problem with inflation? Is it the economic inequality it brings to those who have to live on fixed income?

I've been following the discussion on US TV and it seems they are saying we need more unemployment. We need economic hard time so that people will not have too much loose money any more. We need more unemployment so that employers don't have to pay bigger wages causing wage-inflation.

To me this sounds counter-intuitive. How can the solution be more unemployment? People will then have even less money after paying the grocery and gas-bills.
2.5 people per household. So 7.5% of 42 million people would be 1.3M households. The current price is $1.3k a year, so that's $1.7B of service revenue just from the US. And there are more households that are interested even if they have "high speed" service already. So even with those numbers it looks pretty good.

> Why optimize for just the desk? I like to move around to change things up sometimes.

Probably because most people spend a significant part of their day at the desk so it makes sense to optimize your workflow for that. Adapting to using two different keyboard layouts is awkward but not that difficult if you do both enough. If you don't do both enough for it to become easy then you're not using one of them enough for it to matter that it's awkward to swap. Making your primary workflow significantly less efficient for the sake of the edge case doesn't make sense.

For someone like you that likes to move around a lot, you're optimizing with different criteria in mind.

This ultimately led to us having to buy their brand safety monitoring service because the CEO was scared of backlash.
