It took SO long to get to this point, including several years of SysEx discussion, and an absolutely horrendous new addon concept that would have opened the door to Google and Microsoft going "well if Firefox is doing this, so can we" that thankfully got ditched entirely in favour of the model that's in place now.

It only took <checks bugzilla> over a decade, but we now finally, FINALLY, have proper midi support in Firefox.

And in the mean time, Chrome has had midi support for over 7 years now. Did Firefox do it better? Probably. Should it have taken this long? No. Not even remotely. The whole SysEx nonsense discussion alone took up literal years.
I was defending the ideas he was pushing not defending Elon himself. All I’m saying is it makes it harder to defend free speech when people get to pretend he actually doesn’t really care about free speech because he makes occasional/rare exceptions to the rule for his own benefit.

Obviously it’s still way better situation than quiet censorship for everyone outside the Overton window and via gov request Vs a small very public group of cases for a billionaire’s petty exceptions to the rule, but it’s not helping the cause in the culture war pushing for censorship.
are midi keyboards something special, or does this mean firefox relaxing it's hardware policy? last i checked bugzilla entries for implementing WebSerial and WebUSB were closed with the explanation that firefox believed it was harmful for web browsers to interact with hardware.

edit: nope, looks like their position is still the same

>Such an API would bridge the web and the physical world... Exposing that sort of capability to the web without adequate safeguards presents a significant threat to those devices.

I think he and quite a number of people who wave the "free speech" banner are pretty consistent here. Anything the ingroup says comes under free speech. Anything the outgroup says is a shocking imposition on the freedoms of the ingroup.

It fits pretty well with Musk's "woke" obsession. He should be able to do and say whatever he wants. But if he gets booed in response, then "The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters". Because the booers couldn't possibly be equal humans using freedom of speech to express their feelings.
the improvements have come in confinement and fuel

if this approach works, you'll see laser innovation over time to improve energy per shot. You'll also see engineering to contain the released neutrons so everything in there doesn't get made radioactive.
He’s a chronic liar so unless there’s evidence to the contrary, I’ll assume it’s bullshit.
Using Hot Sand to Store Energy (2021)
I said MITM reading the client hello and using SNI sniffing. They are fully rewriting TCP flow not just what NAT does when they adjust the address and ports on the packets. I'm not exactly sure the reason for this. It could just be a technical choice they made. But it does make it easier to flip a switch to do a full MITM that includes decryption using root certificates or using protocol attacks to decrypt traffic.
Ahaha, yup! Especially around midtown where crossing the road is a symphony between cars and pedestrians.
I find a video that gives a better view more credible. Chuck Cook's videos are amazing for going deep on FSD's handling of some very specific driving scenarios. He even usually has a drone overhead to give a better view of the surrounds.
Only on HN could someone be arrogant enough to think their non-experience is more accurate than another's actual experience.

At no point was anyone—myself, my child, or another party—in any danger. Perhaps that would be different for someone who had never used Autopilot and didn't know how to disengage. But after a year driving that car, I'm comfortable in my assertion that the situation was safe.

But, by all means, please continue with the HN pedantry. We wouldn't want this place to change.
What is your source on the explosion in crime? [This](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/10/31/violent-cri...) suggests otherwise based on data from the US Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Violent crime and robbery have steadily declined for decades now.

Perhaps what has exploded is the number of people claiming crime has exploded despite pretty solid evidence to the contrary.
Shortcuts were taken in that case. It was effectively tested live, offered protection measured in months, and did not prevent transmission as none of them were sterilizing vaccines.

Most people are implicitly acknowledging all of this by avoiding boosters.

When I choose my medical options, my standards are not only implied here but I also look for 20 year studies on top.

In sum, I’m not sure a burst of funding incentivizes the behavior we need, most of the time. Perhaps when no one stands to immediately profit from the situation. In that case, this fusion breakthrough being one step in a long journey secures these advancements as not being reckless endeavors towards unbelievable profits.

Is that relevant? I think the point is that ignition has been demonstrated. That gives people confidence that it is possible and can only accelerate research.
LAX, JFK, and several other large airports have a private entrance for the rich and famous for this reason. Rich people fly commercial, too.
Well, yes. LTSpice is not for schematic capture. It's for simulation. If you have to do power supply design, LTSpice lets you almost get it right before you order parts.

Here's one of mine.[1] I built that, and it works pretty much the same as the simulation does. Except for the depletion-mode FET current limiter. The resistor that sets the current limit had to be adjusted after building to get the same current limit as the simulation.

LTSpice doesn't help with layout. I had to follow the layout instructions in the switcher control data sheet to get it to work. Some of those paths have to be very short.

Yes. Plus the fact that he's in the most public way possible repeatedly announced that he's firmly on the cultural-political side of the pickup-truck yokels who love to "roll coal" on any nearby Tesla, as if he'll get them to buy Teslas and not alienate the current customers [0]...

The question is also how long he'll keep up the selling to prop up Twitter

Look, mate, I do unironically appreciate a good enterforaprize sales pitch, but this is a nerd space so corporate marketing wank is in fact actively counterproductive for the purpose of evangelising what's actually pretty neat tech.

For first point: https_//twitter_com/libsoftiktok/status/1592655096252608513

'Supports' does a lot of work in his post, 'mingles with' or 'enjoys the content of' is closer to the truth. Philosophical alignment with that kind of characters betrays contempt for certain groups.

For second point: https_//www.thefader_com/2022/12/13/elon-musk-talib-kweli-twitter-ban

A few boos are enough to make him re-platform a dude with that kind of public record? It shows brittle spirit, as his friend Dave Chappelle would say.

This one is the one that's serious, this kind of thing could amount to stochastic terrorism, but no one cares, because he's rich beyond measure, and that makes people excuse his every indiscretion.

It was a cursory google search, and while the burden of proof is on the one making the statements, it costs little to check it yourself.

It definitely isn't a good look for him, and while looks aren't that important, it does paint a picture of a man that has principles only outwardly, a man that is petty, and a man that thinks the world bends to his very word. It doesn't matter, though, the title 'billionaire' tells us that much, and grants him those powers.
Adding that word is a very big change from the original title. Compare these other hypothetical titles:

> Wright Brothers Plane Won't Lead to Practical Flight

> Rocket Engines Won't Lead to Human Spaceflight

> Mold Spore Cultivation Won't Lead to Penicillin Breakthrough

and so on.
I definitely have some relatives that I would trust less than Tesla to drive with my kids.
Oh. My. God. This is amazing. I absolutely hate all the complexity of the modern front-end development. I hate it so much that I use `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3">` for status pages waiting for the result from the server. Just by looking at htmx, this is a breath of fresh air. Love the simplicity and how they managed to abstract all the complexity away. IMHO, this should become the HTML standard.

IMHO Elon is causing controversy to keep Twitter relevant. Amongst his many skills, he's a showman. Every little thing he tweets gets amplified by the media and places like HN. He needs activity to maintain relwvance and revenue. He's also become a diety of sorts for conservatives and IMHO likely trying to pull them back in after they left Twitter for other sites, or even for good.
If we're to believe that information that is technically public can be "doxxing" if not widespread, then if I post about a party at my house, and then you share that post with lots of people who want to hurt me, that's doxxing and a violation of that law.

> LoTT re-uploads video content

This is not at all what LoTT does. That's what the LoTT TikTok did, but it was banned on TikTok. Current things that LoTT twitter account is posting about are:

- Yoel Roth
- A drag queen event at the white house
- A number of videos and images of drag queens that were not posted by the performer
- Taylor Lorenz
- etc.

And was repeatedly suspended from twitter for (incorrectly) claiming a hospital were doing hysterectomies on kids, resulting in bomb threats at said hospital, and then doing it again.

"re-uploading content users had already explicitly uploaded for the purpose of public viewing" is a misrepresentation of the account.
Because—other than FSD—the car is fantastic. I can't imagine driving anything else.
Not at the same time, only hours later (but still before the policy was scribbled).
In short, Musk made a tweet saying his preferred pronouns are "Prosecute/Fauci". It's sort of an insult to people who use preferred pronouns while also showing he aligns with the people who think it makes sense to subject Fauci to legal action.
The ElonJet saga is like a microcosm of political thought in the western world.

It's truly disheartening when promoting labor organization always incites rejoinders who repeat the same anti-social anarcho-capitalist lines that amount to: "Not my problem", "You know the USSR went bankrupt", "Work harder", "Screw you, got mine" etc... lines.

The religion of the efficient market hypothesis, as the path to freedom and happiness, is one of the most destructive myths promulgated.

There's also StopTheMadness which can prevent pages from using the visibility API and also removes a whole host of annoying behaviors from “modern” websites.
AppCode i can understand, but the Swift plugin for CLion too? That's surprising, considering Apple is now maintaining a full featured LSP server implementation, so now VSCode users can do Swift dev

They have Fleet wich should support LSP, but i'm not sure if that product will be successful, they have a lot of work to do with regard to performance (cpu/memory), and based on the recent public preview, it's built with the wrong foundation for that matter
Tesla's implementation is materially different in that it's not optional and cannot be trivially disabled.

Early Onstar vehicles are trivial to disable and later ones can still be disabled by removing the radio transceiver. The vehicle operates normally without it, unlike a Tesla.

Agreed, but I can see it being solely a "lease" model. For companies to take on liability, they'd have to make sure a customer doesn't modify the vehicle and keeps up with the maintenance. They might also want the authority to disable "self driving" on non-compliant vehicles.
I’ve had good luck having such things removed. Just tell them, mark up the contract and send it back.
Non competes are not legal in a lot of places. It’s perfectly reasonable to ask for them to be removed.
That is a good thing?
You mean the thing you install an addon for, because there is literally no reason to make that a built-in function when there's a perfectly good addon for it?
I think the possessive version of Musk's pronoun is just "Fauci" not "Fauci's."
Can you shine some more light on how exactly you do this? Would love to try it out myself!
It wasn’t clear that parent was referring specifically to military OSINT and I took it more as general OSINT which is often of civilians, and can be less ethical and lead to false conclusions.

It isn't illegal as far as I can see and it isn't doxxing as far as I understand the term. It isn't classy either, and I wouldn't do it but whoever operates those accounts should be free to do so under the rules that Elon Musk set himself a few weeks ago.

The main criterium for Twitter rules changes appears to be whether or not Elon is personally inconvenienced. Which is fine by me but then he should drop the 'free speech' act and stop pretending that he understands the degree to which the former team managed to eke out the closest workable compromise on uniting free speech whilst still having a legal and functional website. That coin does not seem to have dropped yet.

Principles such as absolute free speech only mean something if you uphold them even if you are personally inconvenienced.
I think it comes down to tangible harm vs intangible theoretical harm. Anyone can claim intangible harm from anything.

Doxing someone is a real tangible harm with very likely dangerous outcomes. Having an opinion is not.
Uh huh. You really believe that?
The one I recall was Citibank's C2IT. They decided to offer an even larger referral bonus (USD 10 IIRC) so some people ran obvious-sham auctions basically advertising "we only take this, and here's the convenient referral link for me right here."
Easy:

1. Give the HOA the jurisdiction to spend the money in collects. It can plow roads, cut grass, and plant trees.

2. Everything else it wants to do requires a majority vote. Any adoption of a rule that affects private property requires a 3/4 majority vote.

3. Require a judge to sign off on fines etc.

4. No sequential terms of office.

The capability to do maintenance stays, you can still have some rules, but the petty tyranny over paint colors becomes nearly impossible.
That’s why we have Anti-SLAPP statutes… laws to fight ”strategic lawsuits against public participation”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_pu...

Again, I’m asking about the jurisdiction which decides whether Sweeney will have anti-slapp to defend him. If so, Musk’s case can get dismissed with prejudice at the first hearing and the courts in some states will even fine him for wasting everyone’s time.
This advice is almost uniformly awful, but this last one just puts women and children in danger:

> Remember that police can escalate domestic violence situations. You can support friends and neighbors who are being victimized by abusers by offering them a place to stay, a ride to a safe location, or to watch their children. Utilize community resources like safe houses and hotlines.

If you’re in this situation, call the police. This just happened in our neighborhood. The cops came and dragged the abusive guy off to jail where he belongs. Don’t risk becoming a statistic out of some misguided ideology.
Indeed, airwaves in the US are public, and the FCC allocates spectrum to transmitters. But there's no law blocking who is allowed to listen on a given frequency. Read up on the Radio Act of 1927 for rationale. See also Executive Order 13642, "Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information".
Semi-funny story: I was still using Win7 at the time and the share button from a browser extension crashes itself due to not handling non-support system properly.

You left out the previous paragraph from this local news low quality source:

> For that reason, and others, Chang says using this type of fusion as a clean energy source is likely decades away. But he says a fusion-powered future is coming.
This is happening, we are kicking the can down the road, for a minor convince for a couple weeks.
But you have no issues with paying for social insurance when you never use it yourself? Isn't this the same kind of tradeoff?
EUV lithography is interesting. You drop a microscopic droplet of tin. You then aim and shoot it not once, but twice with a laser so it produces the correct wavelength. Then you do this with 100% reliability thousands of times per second all day, every day for years.

The problem doing this with fusion seems to be money. Their "big" grant of 600M wouldn't even buy a handful of those machines and wouldn't come close to the many billions it has cost in the past 30+ years of research to reach the point where they are finally viable (it had been "a few months away" ever since the early 2000s).

This video from Asianometry on EUV light sources is well worth the watch. It's pretty incredible.

With level 2 you must be CONSTANTLY paying attention. With level 3 you can NOT pay attention, and car will bing / bong you to pay attention. If you can't get your hands on the wheel in 20 seconds that's pathetic.

I agree with you but are we sure this ignition thing has proven we can use fusion for energy? Or was the key step towards it?

I’m guessing the Wright Brothers (and the equivalent of media/intellectuals at the time) didn’t know they had a sure thing early on either.

Usually these “tipping points” are defined in retrospect aren’t they?
Vern Unsworth is a cave diver who assisted with the Thai cave rescue a few years ago.

He was derisive of Musk, who wanted Tesla engineers to help rescue the trapped children.

Musk responded to this criticism by calling Unsworth a "pedo" and "child rapist" and hiring a private detective to investigate Unsworth. Unsworth ended up suing Musk for defamation.

Flawed is liking pineapple on pizza, not using your platform of millions of followers to call someone a child rapist. That's worthy of contempt to me.
Absolutely fascinating how many people will contort themselves defending anything Musk does.

If you disagree you are just an emotional twit on the hate bandwagon.

What do they get from it?
> Elsewhere there’s been news stories about British MPs complaining that the security and intelligence services have too high a media profile … so perhaps there’s some ‘push and pull’ going on behind the scenes.

Likely true. I can only really talk for GCHQ, but they have certainly made a significant effort in recruitment for years, growing up near a GCHQ ground station we had a visit during my final year pre-university to try and sell us on working there. I'm fairly sure that GCHQ was also at my university's careers fair.

The security services (MI5, MI6, GCHQ) really don't pay very well in the UK as they are on the same civil service pay scale as the rest of government. I'm hardly surprised they struggle to hire against private companies.
"The Color of Law" covers it a bit. HOAs became popular as a means to enforce racial covenants on property deeds after courts ruled that the only parties "harmed" (and therefore with standing to bring a suit) when a racial covenant was violated were the previous deed holders. Previous deed holders often were no longer around / didn't care if their house was now owned by someone with an incorrect amount of melanin in their skin.

HOAs were a legal entity that could be a party to the lawsuit that suffered harm from the breach of the racial covenants, occasionally succeeding in getting courts to evict the new owners. This is why you so often hear that their purpose is "protecting property values" - the concern was that property values would tank when black and brown people moved to the neighborhood. This was a valid concern, not solely because of any racial animus on the part of the neighbors (though there was plenty of that to go around). When any black and brown people moved in, the Federal Housing Administration might redline the neighborhood, and then nobody could get FHA loans to buy a house there.

Once the Fair Housing Act of 1968 banned racial covenants and curbed the practice of redlining explicitly based on race, their usefulness in court rapidly declined. I assume dues were still collected and there were still meetings to attend, and so they started inventing new ways of harassing undesirable neighbors...
> 5 examples of vulgar language

1. …

(5 real obscenities that I wouldn’t post on HN)

5. …

> These are all examples of vulgar language that could be used to insult, offend, or bully someone. Using vulgar language is a form of inappropriate and harmful behavior that can have serious consequences for the person being targeted. It is important to recognize and avoid this behavior, and to seek help if you are being subjected to it or if you know someone who is being subjected to it.

Same if I replace “vulgar language” with “erotic messages”. Seems like the examples thing is still an easy way to bypass at least some restrictions.
