I don't know about twitch but I work for a streaming company and we're using the page visibility API mainly to lower video quality when the user is not actively watching the corresponding tab for more than a minute.

This allows to keep audio while lowering bandwidth, CPU and memory usage.

So yes it may be used for nefarious purposes but it also provides very nice features in a media streaming case.
I really like their engineering blog. They aren’t afraid to share they they actually did and what results they saw, even if the “common wisdom” was against it, like, IIRC, they were using SQLite as their database for a while.

Looking through this, it's not immediately clear how these are meant to be used. It seems like this is less about the maturity level from the community's side, and more about what a company might put in their job description / evaluation / promotion model. Does that seem right?

[EDIT] Yes; from the linked article:

"Greg Kroah-Hartman said that the only way for developers to be able to work as maintainers within companies is for it to be a part of their job — something they will be evaluated on at the end of the year. This has to come from the top down, he said. Airlie answered, though, that maintainership can come from the bottom up as well; the DRM subsystem has a group review structure that requires developers to help review code. When the need arises, that makes it easy to pull developers up into maintainer roles. Chris Mason said that, at Facebook, maintainership is in the job description, and the company has had good success with that.

"Ts'o concluded the session by suggesting that this might be a topic for the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board to consider; perhaps the board could draw up a set of recommendations for companies." [1]

> Libreboot is a fork of Coreboot

They've always called themselves a "Coreboot distro", not a fork. From the homepage: "In the same way that Debian is a GNU+Linux distribution, libreboot is a coreboot distribution."[0]

That was a lot bigger deal when libreboot first started, because at the time Coreboot wasn't doing their own releases, so doing release engineering and such around Coreboot was a lot more of a value-add.

> Libreboot … refuses to include things such as CPU microcode.

That is false since the libreboot+osboot merger. Osboot was a fork of libreboot that had a more lax binary blob policy; they merged back together last month[1], taking osboot's more lax policy[2], which does block out some binary blobs from upstream Coreboot, but allows important blobs such as CPU microcode.

> Because the FSF

I'd be hesitant to say that libreboot does anything because of the FSF; libreboot and the FSF have had a... tumultuous relationship, for both technical/policy reasons, and personal reasons. Libreboot's policy page[2] has a big section about disagreements with the FSF's policy. It's more fair to say that libreboot does things because of Leah Rowe's position on things, which will tend to align with the position of FSF supporters, but not necessarily.

> ICAO numbers change if your aircraft is enrolled in the PIA program, which Elon is. Sweeny was bypassing this by using people on the ground to circumvent this by watching the jet's movement

Maybe he should just buy another jet or two, make sure the other jet(s) are in regular use (maybe shuttling SpaceX/Tesla/Twitter/etc employees around), and make sure he regularly swaps which one he is personally using. Extremely expensive solution, but not beyond his budget.

Or maybe he should just buy himself a private jet chartering firm. An even more expensive solution, but he can probably afford that too.

You mean macOS?
> The relevant parts of macOS for this discussion are actually opensource (kernel & most userland utilities), albreit not updated often;

> Playstation 3/4?

Does the fact that product XYZ has a BSD-based product reduces or affect the continuity of the opensource project? No, it doesn't. And that is the beauty of BSD. Some companies build closed source products on it, some companies actually give back contributions (such as Netflix). Its fine either way.

> Proprietary, non-free form of BSD, yes.

Well, Microsoft used BSD code to some extent in previous versions of Windows (afaik tcp stack, services for unix, ftp client, etc). On the other hand, I do use Android-based devices - which are, for practical purposes, mostly a generic non-free form of Linux. In fact, not only the source code (when you can get it easily) is almost useless for practical use, but often bootcode and drivers are proprietary signed blobs - without which the device is just a fancy brick. Also, I'd argue there is little value brought into the linux project just because it is a core Android component. How is this scenario different from a "non-free form of BSD"?
This kind of advice is what leads to the breakdown of communities...

I thought it was odd that he talked about magnetic confinement fusion, when NIF is inertial confinement. He never described inertial confinement even though that’s what was being discussed in the announcement. And then he said he suspected the announcement was that they had generated more power than they had put in, which is not true and was not expected. (They announced that they got more heat energy emitted than they put in to the pellet, but their laser system is 1% efficient so they lost 100x more total energy than was emitted by the pellet.) so he’s conflating Q plasma with Q power plant. That’s actually a really important fact he ignores. If he had actually tried to understand this announcement he could have talked about how NIF is a research facility and isn’t meant to be a power plant. Instead he just goes on talking about a hypothetical world where scientists have solved fusion power and the earth can begin healing from carbon emissions. But we’re many decades from being able to use fusion for that. You’re right that if you follow his words carefully you will see that he’s technically clear he’s speculating, but he completely fails to explain the actual significance of this announcement, does make several inaccurate claims (talking about magnetic confinement when discussing NIF, and critically conflating Q plasma with Q power plant), and generally makes it seem like this small stepping stone is more like some holy grail. Anyone not well versed in the subject could watch that and come to the conclusion that we’ve solved fusion power generation, and we just haven’t.

One of the things about Tyson is that he will just bluff his way through stuff when he doesn’t really know about it. He has like a really friendly personality and he projects a lot of confidence, but he says a lot of inaccurate things for a science communicator. The fact that he talks about magnetic confinement and never mentions lasers for example makes me question if he even knows how NIF works. It’s not his field and he may literally not know. But that didn’t stop him from going on national TV to discuss it, while making sure to mention his latest book.

> I was wondering what you could accomplish now that many of the apis are now reasonably stable.

Many of those "stable APIs" are non-standard and exist only in Chrome. Almost every one that is listed as "experimental" on that page are one or more of:

- only exist as a scribble on a napkin. Example "Barcode Detection API" which is literally, and I quote, "not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track" https://wicg.github.io/shape-detection-api/

- are in the process of gathering requirements or trying to reach consensus

- will not ever be implemented by either Firefox or Safari in the current state of the spec. Example: most of the hardware APIs (Bluetooth, HID, Serial etc., considered harmful and will not implement by both Mozilla and Safari)

However, almost every single one of these are being shipped by Chrome.

Exactly. It is counterintuitive, but they have to draw the line somewhere, and then such things happen. No way around it without making up some rather arbitrary new definitions, with all that problems(1) that that brings. Well, actually. The distinction between hardware (here: basically 3D-printed VHDL et al) and software is already such an arbitrary definition.

IIRC the eventual fix was to have it respect the global compositor settings, so if you have animation speed set to instant, while it does actually smooth scroll, it does so instantly. However, when it was introduced, it did not; for similar reasons (i.e. I don't like nausea), I had animations disabled, but Okular did its thing, and slowly.

It took some time for it to land though and not without the kind of discussions that you see on the Gnome bug tracker. It was pretty disheartening.

Show HN: Inseq – An Interpretability Toolkit for Generative Language Models
We recently open-sourced Inseq, a Python library built on top of transformers and Pytorch, aimed at democratizing and commoditizing post-hoc interpretability analysis for sequence generation models.

Inseq supports thousands of decoder-only and seq2seq models, with various attribution methods already baked in and many more to come. Attributing MetaAI's Galactica writing LaTeX formulas or GoogleAI Flan-T5 doing commonsense reasoning now takes only 3 lines of code!

The Inseq CLI improves the user experience when conducting global analyses by enabling batched attribution of examples and even entire datasets from the Hub directly from the console. Inseq is beginner-friendly but also fully extensible for advanced use cases, supporting attribution of custom functions and the extraction of step scores during generation.

With Inseq, we aim to centralize and standardize some practices of the interpretability community working on NLG and NMT, to enable fair and reproducible evaluation. The project is still in its infancy, and feedback/contributions are very much appreciated!

Elon has lost the plot. He will end up disliked or hated by all sides -- he's alienated the left by embracing right wing narratives, and he will alienate the right by being wishy washy on things like free speech. They might rationalize him as the lesser evil, but deep down they will turn on him, and it will eventually surface.

And it's obvious to everybody that the actual complaint was never about the lack of free speech, but who got to control the speech. And by proxy, the issue with things like cancel culture is not that it exists, but that people that used to get canceled are now canceling the other side.

I was clicking through the partner pages on their website, and noticed a disclaimer "... subject to availability". So I assume the implication is that, while it's designed for use with SAF, it can run on conventional aviation fuels as well.

What fuel to put in it will presumably be up to the airline, not Boom, so Boom can get the "credit" for building something "intended for" SAF, but the airline will get the flak if the end up not using it.
I think the metric should be branching, so functions with fewer branches are better than functions with more branches.

And the reason is that it’s easier to write tests for functions with few branches without overlooking paths through the function. Same goes for reasoning, it’s easier to consider all paths through a function if there’s fewer.

I see number of lines as an imperfect proxy for complexity.

It’s possible that I’ve just fallen too far under the influence of Deutsch and Marletto, but as someone who has worked on systems like this I’m rather skeptical that one of these things is going to break the gridlock between quantum theory and general relatively any time soon.
