It still is. The entire Firefox UI exists in the DOM -- the URL bar is an HTML input, the toolbar buttons are XUL <toolbarbutton>s. The box model can even be used from normal web pages! Just add this CSS to an element:

display: -moz-box;

and then you can -moz-box-flex it to your heart's content.

The box model will no longer function once the patches that this blog post describes make it into a release, but XUL elements themselves are still around.

Gaming as a whole is almost entirely multi platform these days, aside from a few first party published titles.

Anything playable on MacOS also works on windows. Most mid budget indie games on Windows also have switch ports. Bigger budget ones have PS5 versions. We’re at a point where you just buy what suits your budget and if there’s one exclusive that you want.

It’s not like the Genesis vs the SNES where the libraries were almost entirely different and games were designed with that hardware’s unique strengths in mind.

Linux’s main path to gaming success is being a cheaper, less annoying version of Windows.
yeah he gave some money and shows up for photo ops sometimes, sticking the taxpayers with the rest of the bill - swell guy
It's usually US price + VAT (20-24% depending on country) + exchange rate and then rounded up to nearest "xx99.99" price for margin.
So a race to the bottom. I wouldn't rely on the "truly excellent and original work" crutch for very long.
... but how much will they care? A huge chunk of games on Steam are now running on Unity and feel fundamentally the same; that hasn't stopped people using the engine.

Do we play games for novel look and sound or novel experience or novel story? The answer is "All of the above."
The prices are bad enough, but what really seals the deal is the forced obsolescence. I have an older macbook that I was trying to upgrade to the newer OS and they make it basically impossible. I struggled for a few days on it, then I just installed ubuntu and it works perfectly.

Apple's value proposition seems to be "pay an arm and a leg for something we will break anytime we think you should give us more money."
It freed them from doing something so brutal, I’m a half glass full guy, they are now upgrading their skills to drive tractors
Is it so?

What about “I want to thank both you and the original article author”? Should it be “or” instead of “and”?

A very distinctive difference.

GPL software is a box that must be kept open, so that everybody would be able to take from it.

If you pick the box and build an altered version of it, you must keep it open, you are legally prohibited from attaching a lid to it.

There's nothing about any expectations, let alone obligations, to put anything back into the original box. Usually it's not very easy (you must follow strict standards) or even impossible (see e.g. SQLite).
Are both useful in some context?
Barack Obama opposed prop 8 in 2008, and certainly never donated money to the campaign like Eich did. There are dozens of articles about it.

But he also opposed gay marriage, so to some extent he was homophobic, at least for political reasons. He later changed his mind on it, likely also for political reasons.

But shame on you for using such disingenuous bullshit tactics to make your homophobic point: “If you call Eich a homophobe, then you also have to call <insert beloved liberal figure> a homophobe!”. For one, it ignores the fact that people’s minds can change over time, whereas Eich has never changed his stance on gay marriage and has never disavowed the money he spent trying to stop it. And two, it’s just a red herring argument and attempted hypocrisy trap.

And worse, it’s a fucking terrible hypocrisy trap. There are millions of people who support gay marriage but never supported Barack Obama, and millions more who supported Obama precisely because they didn’t want gay marriage and thought they could trust him to not change his mind on it. Obama may be beloved by some liberals, but he is a hypocrite to many on a multitude of reasons, ranging from his gay marriage flip flop, to his support of the patriot act, to the promotion of indefinite detention and torture to federal law, to the fact that he continued the pointless Iraq war for his entire term.
In this case you're talking about the moves by the Trump GOP administration.

103000 votes out of 1.38MM voters. Less than 7% of registered voters even bothered.

So we can say 6% were firmly against. <1% were supportive of e-scooters. 93% didn't care either way but were more than likely against.

I am pro micromobility but some of these companies business models is a complete disservice to public order. It's a real tragedy of the commons. The companies that could implement scooter pens would lose marketshare to the ones that don't since a scooter on any corner is more convenient than a scooter stored more than a block away.

By the way Framework also has no cheap options like $400-$500: the prices start with 750 Euro for tiny 13-inch version. I guess you can't profit much from selling reasonably priced laptops.
I'd consider it to be specifying the "maze" more accurately. The idea is to be able to come up with an interesting statement (such as "all mazes of this type can be made of just two pieces"), but if you include non-reachable areas as part of the maze, then it reduces the number of interesting statements available but also doesn't add to the process of examining the routes and solution.

If you consider the same type of maze but have it in three dimensions, then all of them can be made out of just one piece, so it's clear that the definition of "maze" is too encompassing.
No this is not the same thing they’ve done for decades. You just make that assertion but it’s not true.

It’s not some crazy conspiracy. This is the whole point of winning elections. The people in charge of tech policy in this admin want universal fiber service. You don’t get tens of billions from Congress every year for that unless there’s public demand for it. Starlink would undermine that demand despite not being good enough to replace universal fiber service, in the eyes of the administration.

Also you’re free to look up how Starlink’s launch proposals have been slow rolled at the FCC. You can also look at the Republican Commissioner’s statements on the revocation of Starlink’s RDOF award.
I have been using Arch for more than 10 years and it is great.

It has great Wiki to start using it, and it is very stable considering it is a rolling release distro.

Back in the day Ubuntu upgrades were extremely painful for me because I had to use a few custom repositories to get up to date versions of common software and they broke upgrades. On Arch it is not really an issue because everything is up to date. And even if something breaks once in a few years, if you set it up yourself (not using Manjaro) you will most likely have a better understanding of Linux and you will be able to fix those issues. And if you check Arch news before updating, you will never run into those problems in the first place. :)
If they were to price the M1 line "to sell" when they publish the M3 line, they could still do so.

4GB of RAM.[0]

It's the stupid websites that require GB of RAM to display a couple pieces of written text and the hundreds of MB of JS that tally up to the additional 28GB you may be thinking of. Oh and all the electron apps which add additional browser requirements where there shouldn't be any. I guess Mac OS is somehow exempt from this particular fault though, I would be curious to know how they accomplished it.

I think this is right on. AI would be an amazing if it didn't mean that some people will have an even harder time making ends meet. Why does every technological innovation that improves productivity end up shifting even more resources to those at the top of the ladder?
Sure, but I strongly suspect that in court the visceral impact of "Look, there's the image, it was in there," of even just ONE might just be enough to sway a judge or jury, percentages be darned.
lww is arbitrary, because (a) it's unknowable if some local state is actually valid, and (b) resolving conflicts is destructive

conflicts cannot be resolved in general without additional information from the application

in an lww system if a bit of data loses in an lww contest, that data was not just stale, it actually becomes invalid

if you set a=1 and then do a bunch of operations based on the idea that a=1, and i set a=2 and then do a bunch of operations based on the idea that a=2, and lww resolves that my a=2 wins over your a=1, then after that merge, your a=1 is not just stale, it's entirely invalid, erased from history. at no point did a ever equal 1. anything you did with that assumption is similarly invalid. and lww provides no way to manage the causality implications of that decision.

it's fine for many use cases but it's not a general-purpose solution.
Heartily agree with this worldview: as I argued in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34277750, I believe this is how creatives will be able to make a living in a post-AI world, by continuing to hand-craft art, stories and software that will stand out from the bland AI-generated landscape, and will be enjoyed by other humans, bored by and/or not willing to consume an endless flood of AI-generated content.
Simple and straightforward language makes it easy for users to understand the features and functionality of the extension. Screenshots of the extension in action, which helps users get a better idea of what to expect when using it.

Overall, the Mullvad browser extension is an excellent resource for anyone interested in enhancing their online privacy and security. The page is well-designed, informative, and easy to use, which makes it an ideal choice for users looking for a reliable and effective VPN browser extension.
On my side I appreciate the Macbook Pro M1 32gb that my company gives me to use, but I'll never purchase it out of pocket (unless I create a business and expense that). It's just too expensive and I'm not really using the full potential. I think it's a lot better to have a 4-core+16GB Ubuntu machine stripping off whatever eye candies that Linux has for my sys programming hobby and other uses. All entertainment goes to a 16gb Windows machine.
So, reading your comment, I can infer that the main problem is not the fact that the AI was trained on copyrighted data, but the fact that its performance outperforms that of a human artist.
Adjusted for inflation 1050 EUR in 2021 is 1,189.2 EUR in 2023.

I can code. I would have been distracted by juggling all of the designers that I hired, so distracted that I probably would have hired a developer. Slowed down by 2-3 weeks waiting for acceptable output from the hired professionals, or discouraged and forgotten about this business idea.

I didnt lay off anybody, I also didnt hire anybody.

I looked up “prompt engineer” on fiverr just to see if that looked viable, its already oversaturated and nobody has orders in queue.

I think the “take our jobs” will start and be more pronounced with a silent lack of open positions.
Same everywhere. It's the kind of business it'd never have occurred to me to start because I'd have assumed "e-waste littering, at scale" was illegal, but as often happens I guess the "at scale" part somehow made it OK.
This is your preemptive warning that someone will come along and suggest Eric S. Raymond's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way". DO NOT FOLLOW THAT ADVICE.

When you approach someone with a question, it's because you believe they have understanding you do not. So lead with that, "hey, I hear you are the go-to person for questions about...", and give the person an out to say, "no go ask so-and-so" if they aren't willing to answer.

If the person says, "I don’t understand the question" without following up with questions back to you for clarification, take that as a tacit admission of ignorance, and go elsewhere for answers.

Be careful of your wording. I know I am guilty of this at times, phrasing my questions in a way that can sound provocative. This is a judgement call, you have to have some awareness of what might provoke the person you're asking.

Be respectful of others' time. Don't "blurt" questions to someone just because they are handy. Ask for time, say, "when you're at a stopping point", and let them turn their full attention to you and your question.

Remember the adage, "He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever."
From the article:

>The result wasn't close. City Hall said on its website about 103,000 people voted, with 89% rejecting e-scooters and just 11% supporting them.

>Turnout was very low. The vote had been open to all of Paris' 1.38 million registered voters.
It's impossible to reconstruct the dataset from the model.
Purely speculative conspiracy theory here.
> it may mean the end of copyright entirely

This is a beautiful world, that can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.
Generally what's needed to climb career ladders are social skills and networking skills. Coincidentally many smart people are not neurotypical and struggle with that.
The problem is the "concept" of meritocracy. Many smart people may face significant amounts of adversity or may due to their circumstances be stuck in poverty.
One example of that are people with adhd, autism, asperger's etc, many of whom score high on iq tests. But due to their handicaps they still struggle significantly more than neurotypical people because they are a minority.
The argument of Stochastic Parrot is not that we shouldn't do it. It's just "Do not attribute any meaning to it".
The one in this article is in the same vane that author thought the AI was learning to program when in reality it was just repeating the most statistically probable combination of the code it had seen. That is, "correctness" is not part of "considerations" that the model does. If the majority of the code that it has scanned contains a particular form of logic bug, it will suggest the same logic bug. The trap is in the fact that the AI will write perfect syntax because that is it's bread and butter and people seeing this perfect syntax attribute also perfect logic to it.
As long as people are aware of this kind of problem, LLMs are a very useful tool that will save a lot of time. But if applied blindly "Because AI knows best" it will create more problems down the road.
Technically correct, but I doubt salaries followed the inflation, so for most of people, it's just more expensive. :/
$800 + tax (don't forget thats included in EU prices already) isn't exactly just "a couple hundred dollars" either. Stuff is more expensive, yes, sales tax is usually higher, but the example doesn't seem that extreme? Also depends a bit on how the exchange rate has wobbled right now.

And the RPi prices are through the roof everywhere. "Just get a Pi, they are cheap" is basically a pre-2020 sentiment.
That's the thing, they don't make a lot of money. there was a WSJ article a few years back that showed they absolutely need StarLink to expand that full capacity very early to be profitable. there are not making enough money on launches to sustain the run rate. originally musk said starlink would be profitable with falcon 9. that clearly changed and now the only way it's profitable is with starship.
> If I ask him to draw Andy Warhol Marilyn with my face on it. Can he charge me for it without copyright infringement ? Maybe nobody cares and no one is going to do anything about it but still, his style is specific right ? My face or my dog’s face makes the drawing completely different.

You can generate whatever you want. If you want to sell it, then maybe it is a copyright violation. Maybe it isn’t. The point is that it does not matter that an AI tool made it or a human or a random falling of colored sand. Nobody is saying AI tool outputs are immune to copyright. What I am saying is that they are not intrinsically violations of copyright because training data.

> If all you do for a living is painting, if I wan’t a unique painting that fit your work style I have to ask you to do it. Now I can ask an AI to paint exactly that but you are not in the loop anymore but your work has been used to train this AI and no one will ever ask you to create art because they love your style and can have it for free.

That is deeply misleading. You are absolutely fine to ask another artist to create you a work in another artist’s style. The only difference here is cost and perhaps quality. Those are not problems with copyright.

> I mean, I’m all in for free stuff and I’m not an artist but what does artists feel about it

Bad
> It's unclear what exactly this helps, other than making them seem incompetent and willing to let people die when it could have been avoided.

How exactly is the massive deployment of mobile artillery supposed to result in less deaths?

In any case, the end of the war would obviously not be the end of the world. Isn't the whole point of the aid for Ukraine that it is supposed to contain Russia and deplete its military and economic capabilities?

Is it tariffs or something?

Everything in Canada is usually 10-25% more expensive than the US, besides stuff covered under NAFTA. Consumer things like clothes/electronics are usually the biggest victims.

But I just compared the Apple stores and the base Macbook = $999USD vs $1299CAD, doing pure currency conversion $1299CAD = $965.96USD, so it's technically ~$32USD cheaper in Canada? Probably just out-of-step with currency markets/inflation.

These kind elitist comments surprise me. Tech should make one humble, you seem to have gone the other way round. This was the kind of condescending behavior I was talking about in my comment, and you just proved my point. Calling others 'highly paid wage slaves' and thinking they have no love for tech without even knowing them because they criticized your favorite OS? It can't get more lower class than that. And what has 'loving tech' got to do with starting a business? So only those who start a business are worthy of being on 'Hacker News' in your esteemed opinion?

How do you pay for your news?
I'd say that LLMs are a different way of organizing the world's information through a kind of lossy compression into enormous probability distributions that can approximate the original information with enough fidelity to be useful for a lot of low-stakes applications.
Luckily the headline is misleading and they're just not banning escooters, they're just eliminating the rental ones.

If Japan doesn’t join an alliance that threatens to eventually station nukes aimed at Russian cities, and doesn’t attack Russia directly, I doubt that Russia would do something to further encroach on Japan. Why would they? The onus is on you to explain. The original comment seemed to say, well, Russia is just uniquely bloodthirsty, maybe has too many weapons lying around etc. I need something more rooted in realistic analysis.

But then again, I can’t say the same for, say, China building artificial islands or USA invading Haiti to restore order. Maybe I am wrong and Russia has a reason to gradually encroach and attack, so I am willing to hear it.

I am certainly suspecting that Russia’s spy agencies are helping foment a revolution against the governments in Moldova and Slovakia, which may in the future lead to a civil war there!
Why would you be absolutely no fan of a sure technological improvement? Is it because of the personal threat to professionals? Not commenting personally on you here, but I am very surprised at programmers' lack of nose for opportunities and how, after realizing GPT could do coding even before replacing retail and industry jobs, coders are completely on the defense. Is it a threat to job availability and security? Yes, but programmers have long been to other professionals (doctors even?) what AI is now to them (I was a coder too). Well, tough luck, the world changes and fast, better to try to create and carve out a new job or business idea for yourself than stand on denial of something that, good or bad, could either make or break humanity, but humanity has no say on the inexorable progress of ideas. This actually is science right here, don't tech people embrace science, or only when the collateral damage is elsewhere and not on them?
