>- Vertical/tree-style tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sidebery/

This is the biggest reason why Chrome sucks - they have no workable version of vertical tabs.

Reasons why horizontal tabs are clearly inferior:

1. Screens (generally) have way more horizontal space than vertical and you read webpages vertically. I already have an OS top bar and a browser top bar taking some of this valuable vertical space.

2. Most webpages have predefined right and left margins, so vertical tabs don't take away from the visible space of the page.

3. The size of the tab header is critical for being able to read the name of the tab. I have my vertical tabs set to 30 characters. If I had horizontal tabs with 30 characters, I could fit maybe 6 tabs on the screen at once.

4. Ease of having many more concurrently open tabs. I easily have 38 tabs open and visible without scrolling. 8 of those are pinned tabs which take up the space of one tab. I use 6 different windows (which are category titled using the Titler extension). That is 228 tabs open at once and very easily accessible and readable. (of course I use Total Suspender to keep them from taking too many resources)

All this said, Firefox still sucks because vertical should be the default or at least a simple toggle. As it is, you have to trust some extension and then you have to jump through obnoxious hoops just to get the damn horizontal tabs turned off. And yes, there are some other browsers that have vertical tabs built in, but I am not touching Edge or Opera as they are from dubious companies. I also think that Brave is working on it, but they seem dubious as well.

Now to my complaints about Sidebery (which is superior to Tree Style Tabs). Sidebery has tree style as well, but I turn it off as it undermines the value of #3 above. It has panels, which are goofy and, while you don't have to use them, you still lose a tab worth of space for it. You also lose an even larger tab space to the Sidebery title (which is a menu and an X that aren't necessary. Sidebery doesn't work well with the Titler extension - when you want to move a tab to another window, it doesn't show you the title.

> Net loss was $2.7 billion in 2022, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of $33.4 billion, or $3.24 per diluted share, in 2021.

> 2022 net loss includes a pre-tax valuation loss of $12.7 billion included in non-operating income (expense) from the common stock investment in Rivian Automotive, Inc., compared to a pre-tax valuation gain of $11.8 billion from the investment in 2021.

So, not counting the rivian investment, they gained ~$10B?

This just feel like accounting crap to me. The business itself is still growing. The rivian stock has just been moving like a rollercoaster the past two years. And Amazon didn't invest in rivian for the capital gains, they did it to jumpstart their own EV delivery fleet.

Not very impressive results, but this doesn't exactly spell doom for the company. Reading the comments here would make you think otherwise...

> Then, the ignition is lost in the flame.

Goosebumps from this line. It's apt and thoughtful. I'm thinking about how these events can be fractal-like. The past few years of active pandemic have felt like the "flame" but could be seen as the "ignition" for countless other, possibly even worse global events. It's like a Great Tree Shaking: all non-resilient systems began showing cracks of one size or another, cascading stress to other systems, many of which buckle or break.

Hello! I am the creator of this experiment.

Glad to see the conversation about hand tracking in the browser over here.

This demos is done under the context of a series of creative experiments on how to use real time hand tracking in the browser for creative interactions. Will be posting more experiments soon.

Tech background: I am using MediaPipe to control the hand rig in threejs. MediaPipe provides landmarks that are used to control a threejs Skeleton (hierarchy of bones with rotations).

Feel free to ask, I will answer any questions!
U.S. employers added 517,000 jobs in January
Sustained labor shortages putting upwards pressure on wages. It's more of an external factor, but it really can't be ignored that the pandemic, despite people burying their heads in sand and pretending it's over, is continuing to sideline millions of workers.
No, I think OP edited the comment
I've found that <input> with <datalist> doesn't work on Firefox Android — and the issue has been reported for years.
A good search engine gives you references you can read, because they exist.
And you can search for items by the "In-store" filter, which has guaranteed supply logistics sold and shipped by Walmart to avoid danger and fakery. At least I don't think Walmart comingles "their own" inventory with marketplace inventory items of the same SKU.
Agree, as long as it is sustainable and realistic but this trend of firing people in the tech scene where even companies like Google have been involved, with still huge earnings, makes me doubt about it. And even worst it seems they don’t know either what is going on and if it is the right path.
I still use Amazon for books. It's not bad there, although the local library is cheaper. :)
I've had only limited interaction with their sales people, but find it interesting they weren't on-the-ball trying to sell an account that valuable, either—we were more toward the bottom end of their enterprise range, so I'd just assumed we were too small-potatoes for them, but those were by far the least-hungry sales people I've ever interacted with. It was like I was bothering them. LOL. Also some of them seemed to know very little about their offerings, market segments, et c., which was weird.

[EDIT] Oh, tens of K $ per year, not month. Yeah, that'd have been us, too. Mid tens of K $ per year.
I wonder why it doesn't find Weird Al songs. If you search for Michael Jackson's "Bad", I'd expect to see Weird Al's "Fat", but neither one appears in the other's results. Instead, the actual results are interesting, because you can hear some similarities if you listen closely. But they're not what I'd consider "similar"

Still, this is a really cool project and I'm sure there's a lot of potential for building stuff with it.

I remember encountering this in LinkedIn groups.

I had joined a few (like The Swift Programming Language), and would see questions like "I have this problem <Detailed description of the issue>, how can I solve it?"

Since (in at least one case) this was a problem I had easily solved, years before, I would provide a detailed, concise, answer, showing how to deal with it in a few lines of code.

My answer would get ignored.

Instead all these replies would show up, saying things like "I added the <XXX Library>, and it solved the problem!". These would get voted up, and the original poster would actually engage them.

After seeing a few of these, I realized that LI groups are dumpster fires, and quit them all.
> "You don't know the other cases."

Why would I care about the other cases? It's no use to me if FireFox is really fast at caching if I'm not using caching.

> "What you do is write code and check if it's fast enough in Chrome. If it's not you change your code."

I can't change my code, it's at the limit of (my understanding of JavaScript/web performance) crossed with (how much work time I can spend developing this page). I've already got rid of function calls in the inner loops, trimmed the data set aggressively, pushed more into SQL than in client side, have an out-of-band dataset generator so querying the DB isn't part of page load it's a static page served with static compression, it's taken days longer than I wanted to get even this functionality fast enough to be as fast as I want, if it needs double the time and SpiderMonkey performance expertise to cater for FireFox then the result is tell people to use Edge for it.

> "You never check if it's fast in Firefox instead and then go on with your day, saying "well chrome's just slow""

I did check if it was fast in FireFox and it wasn't. I carried on trying to make it faster until I ran out of ability and it went from 'okay I guess' on Edge to 'great that's what I hoped for' on Edge. And sluggish on FireFox. The reason I don't go on saying "Chrome's just slow" is because Chrome isn't.
Native images are AOT optimized and use way less RAM than a normal Java app on HotSpot does. And you can get competitive performance from them with PGO.

Using a GC doesn't mean never reusing buffers, and Java has intrinsics for hardware accelerated cryptography for a long time. There's no reason performance has to be less, especially if you're willing to fund full time research projects to optimize it.

The belief that performance is more important than everything else is exactly how we ended up with pervasive memory safety vulns to begin with. Rust doesn't make it free, as you pay in developer hours.

I think you're taking the term "bandit" too literally; I'm reading it as a metaphor, just like the use of the word "piracy" for "copyright infringement" — even though there are going to be some people who will look for the loud and open, and decide to literally rob them, I see the issues discussed in the post as being nothing to do with that dollar-money kind of thing, and all to with the loss of social capital.

And now I write that, I realise that what is here called "bandit" used to be called "troll" back in the late 90s.

And before the internet, "antisocial youths loitering in malls".

Oh agreed, but there's a few lenses the article brings up and one of them is "would teenager find it boring", and that's both a very high and very specific litmus test. Taking my 4 and 2 year old's skating for the first time last weekend was... Exciting and interesting to say the least! :-) but would still be perceived as boring to average teenager, as opposed to the time I went night time snow car rallying etc:-D

I use the know it all uncle. Who does know a lot but is sometimes wrong. But either way, the answer comes with the full conviction they’re right.

Took Andrew Ng’s machine learning course on Coursera back around 2015 as my first taste of machine learning.

I was studying for my PhD in Physics at the time and didn’t know what to do with myself with graduation only a year or so away. I was fascinated by the whole machine learning topic and got me interested in learning more - looking back it was the gateway to my data scientist career, which I’m still doing 8 years and 3 countries later.

I think I got quite lucky that this was around the time that data science was becoming a hot topic in industry, but there were very few qualifications in it (sorry statisticians) so people like me with STEM PhDs and relatively little training could go straight into a job from graduation (with varying results)
What is consciousness, is an old subject, with old arguments around old miss-understandings. People here are trying to use new analogies from computer science (a clock work universe), or with miss-understandings around quantum mechanics (somehow randomness give me agency).

Go watch some Robert Sapolsky lectures. We are just a monkey society, reacting to stimuli based on hormones and what we just ate. If you drill down far enough, sure some electrons twitched one way or the other, and yeah, if you steal something, or do something the group doesn’t like, then all the other monkeys will want to beat you up and call it justice, and dream up some logic to justify it and call it morality. And eventually the same will happen between GAI agents. Because it’s just turtles all the way down.
I don't see how that's sustained by the article. This is just another face of the energy crunch. Oil and gas are somewhat rarer more expensive, and so everything made from them is more expensive and the economy needs to seek to a new price equilibrium. In this case, that mostly means "reduced travel and air freight" and "reduced gas heating usage".

But as a side effect farmers need to scramble to match their own market. So some of this will end up meaning "more expensive fertilizer-heavy crops". But at the economic level farming is less able to tolerate volatility (you can't JustInTime a soybean, literally farmers reap what was sown months ago), so there's need for some assistance at the regulatory level. Which is what this article is about.

Basically, no. No famines. Just pricing and regulatory changes.
> Inflation benefits people in debt

And weighed by the amount of debt, those are mostly people rich enough to hire specialists for the tedious parts of using some (most) of their assets as collateral for further investment. People living paycheck to paycheck, on maxed out credit cards, those are not the winners of inflation you are looking for.
Especially in bigger companies, a part of your job isn't to necessarily be productive all of the time, but to have the appearance of productivity so your managers can report to their managers that everything is going at maximum efficiency. Devote some time every week to come up with a pile of bullet points of potential accomplishments/tasks you did so you always have something irrefutable to say to cover your ass. Always have some bullet points in reserve you're ready to speak about in a pinch.

I think meeting occasionally to discuss a project is great, but anything non-trivial in technology takes days or weeks or longer, not hours. 2 standups a day is highly counterproductive. Have you talked with your fellow engineers about this?
So the takeaway is “use cloudflare and pray to the ML Gods that things won’t go south?”. Doesn’t sound reassuring. Funnily, in all fields were AI and ML has been involved the QoS has degraded.

It's less about "big projects" and more about "what features are used". It's entirely possible for a 10kloc project to take much more time to build than a 100kloc project. Proc macros, heavy generic use, and the like will drive compile time way up. It's like comparing a C++ project that is basically "C with classes" vs one that does really heavy template dances.

Notably, serde can drive up compile times a lot, which is why miniserde still exists and gets some use.
Nuclear technology is low security indeed, and it's a technical problem, and uranium isn't exactly abundant element. Untrusted data is a problem of stupidity in comparison. But stupidity causes problems with any technology. It "spoons can harm people" tier problem.
And allowing non-flat space time refines but doesn’t alter the picture.

For instance, it’s a common misconception that wormholes circumvent the relativistic prohibition against ftl travel. Actually, if a wormhole could facilitate travel between two events faster than a light ray moving between the same two events on the outside of the wormhole, then all the same causality troubles would ensue. This just highlights that that the particular mode of transport between events is not important to the argument. (Whether it be warp drive or secret tunnel.)
A.I isn't good enough to do most jobs without oversight yet. There's also the question of legal responsibility.

In production replacing humans with robots only make sense in certain situations, either because of cost or due to lack of flexibility and abilities. I know a guy who works in a factory making juices boxes, not the content, the actual box. They have humans to quality control using their fingers, because the robots can't actually do it.

For white collar jobs, A.I will do the repetitive jobs, those that are easily automated using the current technologies. There is just much more work that there are people, and A.I still can't do most of it.
In reality it's the high incomes that are continuing to make money and spend it, i.e. the landlords and property companies making serious bank as rents jack up higher and higher. We need to tax these people and corporations--that will quickly stop inflation.
There's no supporting evidence things like Superdole contributed to the COVID labor shortage. What actually happened was a ton of low-wage workers were laid-off, found jobs elsewhere, and their employers struggled to find people willing to work low-wage jobs when everyone else was paying more.
Have you read these papers? It's absolutely feasible to get the gist of modern AI in a week of 16 hour days, as Carmack likes to do, for someone who is already world class at CS and has a mastery of college level math.

Modern AI is very simple at its core! As Carmack mentions in the article, cutting edge models are implemented in a couple thousand lines of code, and the core algorithms are even less. Rust's borrow checker is more complex.

That is not how raising the Federal Funds Rate works. Existing treasuries actually decrease in face value and only newly issued treasuries have the higher interest rate. If you own 10, 20, or 30 treasuries right now you're deeply in the red.

And for every one making under 30k per year there is one making over 80k per year.

And, very interestingly and more nuanced, you can take into account how a person changes over time. For example, while I was a grad student, I worked full time and definitely fell under the poverty line. But would you really consider me a poor/destitute person?

About 60% of Americans break into the top 20% of household income at some point in their lives(>$110k/yr). In the same vein, almost 20% of Americans will earn less than the poverty rate at some point in their lives ($24k/yr).

Like I said, I think Americans have many problems, but if there is one thing we are good at it is income (and the consumption that comes with it).

> So, are you assuming/applying everyone more or less has the same contribution or do you want everyone to be paid the same irrespective?

The parent said, "more equal", not equal. There is a big difference between saying that everyone should have the same exact wage versus we should narrow the gap between the highest and the lowest paid people.

And there are plenty of examples of people with massive contributions to society who didn't get paid very well. Van Gogh lived in poverty. Albert Einstein was certainly not poor, but I'd have a hard time believing that his "contribution to society" is less than 1/10000th that of Jeff Bezos. For that matter, my elementary school teachers contributed a lot to society. So do many others. I don't believe that the parent comment is arguing that teachers should make as much as CEOs, they are just saying that the gap shouldn't be so ludicrously large.

I think having this position is actually a tacit partial compromise (a perk) for people like the OP (or myself, I'm in a similar situation and have similar feelings about it). I've seen people willingly jump from being a senior dev to being a manager, and either cease or limit actual dev work; however myself and many others don't want to be a manager, full stop. So, I end up doing the tech lead work (planning, design, divvying up work, interacting with other teams a lot esp. on high level, making sure it all comes together), and some of the more technical mentorship/etc. stuff, while the actual manager, who is also my manager, does most of the latter, including most of the motivation and all the HR/promo stuff. If I had to do all the latter I'd likely switch jobs, my manager might suspect as much.
