Just like how employer provided medical insurance sounds good on the surface

It doesn't even sound good on the surface.

it gave employers an incentive to lobby against socialized medicine

I continue to be baffled at the common assumption that the only two possible sources of health insurance are employers or the government.

Spring Boot is a fullstack web framework but it can be used as a backend web framework.

You would use Spring Boot as the backend web framework and Qwik as the fullstack web framework that, instead of using a database*, uses an API powered by Spring Boot to access information.

Everything in the Spring Docs about HTML/CSS/JavaScript would cease to be relevant. https://spring.io/guides/gs/serving-web-content/

* Qwik is perfectly capable of using a database despite being a frontend-heavy framework. It's like Next.js in that the backend runs in Node.js and you can use any npm package that runs on Node. The server-side part of Qwik would be lighter weight with it just passing requests on to the Spring Boot app.

Humans are such a weird species. The juxtaposition of the two arguments ("not ideal" and "the standard") is crazy to me. If it's not ideal, let's move away from it, not standardized on it. Is that too much to expect? :)
NSFW definition (depending on I.T. policies)

[1] Pizzle is a Middle English word for penis, derived from Low German pesel or Flemish Dutch pezel, diminutive of pees, meaning 'sinew'. The word is used today to signify the penis of an animal, chiefly in Australia and New Zealand.

[2] Interestingly, it is used in medical slang (Dictionary of medical slang -Jacob Edward) and it is defined as exhausted, or to its point:

~ Pizzle chewer ... A female who relieves a male of his phallic tension by fondling the instrument in her mouth.

~ Pizzle-grinder ... 1. A butcher. 2. A prostitute.

~ Pizzle honker ... A prostitute who satisfies her patrons by manual friction.

~ Pizzle warmer . . . The pudendum muliebre, esp. the vagina.

~ Pizzled . . . Exhausted physically or mentally.

So I guess you could say that Pocket is a Fizzled[3] Pizzle.

Leaning hard into delivering content that you can "trust" would be an interesting direction for Mozilla. I suspect that will put some crosshairs on Mozilla as an organization, though.

>The full shock of monetary tightening by the Fed has yet to hit. A great edifice of debt faces a refinancing cliff-edge over the next six quarters.

The Republicans initiated this with the ridiculous "Stimulus Checks". Trump actually had a good piece of advice: Cut the payroll tax instead... but you know, Orange man bad, rawr. Stimulus Checks ended up pretty much doing nothing and the incredible inefficiency/overhead in which they operate pretty much had the inevitable outcome: stupid amounts of inflation.

And it could have stopped there, but once the Democrats rose to power, and despite the pandemic largely being over AND the economy escaping just fine, they wanted to make sure their names got on a few stimulus checks too; being infuriated by Trump's ego and having his name on all over the checks.

Furthermore, a Democrat controlled house and senate being granted absolute blanks checks spending money on absolutely stupid stuff, but buying out/repaying important donors (For instance, Comcast, who can now collect $50/month per subscriber on reservations) and an inflation "reduction" act that was a self-titled joke.

While I think this article is alarmist, we do continue to drive ourselves off a cliff. The latest piece of stupidity echos 2008 where "credit scores are unfair" (categorically impossible, but ok) and good borrowers are now being forced to subsidize poor behavior... all of this being done in the most sketchy of channels via PMI.

Honestly, it's too risky for either party to be completely to have a majority. They're both self-serving muppets trying to extract as much value from the taxpayer while stabbing them in the back. Their only loyalty is to their net worth while the rest of us are _literally_ forced to support it or face jail time.

On the flip side, the knee jerk reaction "think of the children" has resulted in many awful policies which do more aggregate harm than good. It is useful to have someone defend things which are distasteful but not illegal. When we snuff out a particular bit of speech we should have to think about it, however briefly.
Sure, most consumers have marched off desktop os entirely to walled garden mobile apps. That probably also means whats left of the desktop browser users are perhaps more likely to be firefox users than beforehand when it was more of a mass market.

There's no reason the government can't do this either, except (and I'll speak for my city) they don't want to do any of the hard work to actually make this happen. We need better leaders.
I'd point out at that Ginni Rometty was a bad CEO, but that doesn't mean that people there didn't do good research. Like, they're pretty unrelated. Research and Development is notoriously hard to commercialize. Over here in HN land, we just say that product market fit is poor or that products didn't get traction, but those are just as akin to R&D as anything.

A better model was that Rometty was not good at choosing what to fund and which bets to make. kinda a failed VC fund.
> You can eat decently more cheaply than you can eat junk food.

Whether or not that's true depends a lot on where you live. In economically depressed areas, just finding decent food is a challenge, let alone being able to afford it.

In the US, it's generally cheaper to buy processed foods that are heavy on salt, sugar, and fat than it is to eat fresh, healthy food.

There's also the issue of food preparation. Many (maybe most) people don't know how to cook from scratch in a way that is fast and healthy.
I was looking at my wallet in keybase, which I haven't for years. Other than the Stellar Lumens that Keybase has given away,I have under assets BTC "trustline" address.

The difference is having a publicly identifiable presence.

Wow, they've improved it. I have in my history log a question like this from March with an entirely hallucinated reply.

I tried it again today because of your reply, and it tells me "it can't find such a book". That's pretty impressive they've improved that.

So I tried this instead: "give me some sources for studies on the effect of air pollution on fertility"

It gave me 5 sources, every single one hallucinated.
> Imagine how much better the web would be if cookie consent was a browser protocol on top of HTTP headers.

Imagine how much better the web would be if the browsers would have a built-in ability to accept or reject cookies on a per-site basis... oh, wait, they do. And had that since forever (or at least IE5). Almost no one used that because it was obnoxious to have a popup on every website. So browser vendors moved those settings to the farthest corners of the most obscure configuration dialogs... and then the politicians brought those prompts back (but in a crappy, non-standardized, not-even-working way).
A read-only mount doesn't require the backing store to be immutable, nor does it need open fds on the mount to be closed for the backing store to be updated. I've shipped embedded devices that had read-only rootfs mounts and the updater didn't need to reboot before (or after) applying updates. Of course, this was on the Linux kernel, which does support replacing open files.

EDIT: I feel obligated to say this: pitchforks down, please. I'm not trying to disparage the macOS kernel. As a designer of software systems interested in how OSes are built, I found the choices taken interesting.
Why are they more likely? The browser statistics paint a completely different picture about Firefox usage.

Absolutely. The Singapore HDB model is a great example to follow. [1] Almost 80% of Singaporeans live in HDB flats.

But the reason the government won't build is the same reason they don't let individuals build. They are beholden to the voting land-owning class who doesn't want to see the value of their properties go down by adding new supply.

> Apply your logic about laws to private banks.

I'm pretty sure that's actually a more ambitious endeavor than insisting on a government-run solution. I otherwise still see the same issue in OP's comment: there is no reason for the private bank to exist.
I think you're conflating self-awareness with self-...acknowledgement? Ie. python script foo.py that prints content of ./foo.py is not self aware.

Self awareness needs notion of time and self referential memory.

ChatGPT doesn't exist when it's idle.

It's activated when transforming input into next potential token (list of tokens with probabilities).

Ie. it's just sophisticated pure function mapping input -> list of tokens with probabilities.

What's incredible is that it actually works when you keep repeating it.

Notion of thinking time doesn't exist for it. It can for example branch in the middle. You can calculate one token in this data-center, next one on another continent etc.
The browser wars are over because Firefox lost them by spending all the time patting themselves on the back about how much better they were than the competition, wasting their money on stupid stuff like this instead of improving their browser.

Getting themselves into a deeper hole is unlikely to help, imo.

The regulations already exist - don't buy the competition and don't use your market power to undercut the competition. Simple and worked excellently in the post-WW2 boom years.

But regulators stopped enforcing those regulations in the 1980s because of "efficiency" and each administration after Reagan doubled down. Luckily some politicians are starting to see the error of their ways and listening to thinkers like Matt Stoller:

Its great that everything just magically seems to work so well for you, but behind the curtains it took additional effort from the developers of websites you visit to make it so. Same goes for Safari and some of the less popular browsers.
I’d imagine firefox usage is enriched among techies who are enriched among desktop os users, increasingly so as aunt sally moves to the ipad.
You mean the way _you're_ using it.

Etymology helps people understand the mindset at a given time.
There is actually an interesting point regarding TPM+PIN and systemd-cryptenroll: The data sealed in the TPM can directly be used to decrypt the disk (it is base64 encoded and used as a passphrase for a luks key slot). The PIN is only used to authenticate the TPM's unsealing of the data.
In contrast, the unsealed BitLocker data still needs to be decrypted with the pin to get to the VMK.

When our attack is successfully executed on a target, this means that TPM+PIN is broken on systemd-cryptenroll, and as secure as PIN-only with the same PIN on BitLocker.
Fascinating.

The AI industry is currently beholden to Nvidia, in part because of CUDA's superiority over ROCm. Therefore there's a big need for projects like this.

I believe Visual Source Unsafe used the same storage layer as early versions of Exchange, which would break catastrophically when the underlying file grew past 2GB. Less than ideal.
I have come across a codebase where there was an "Import data from HTTP" functionality that extended the "Import data from file" functionality in such a way that the HTTP calls were grafted onto and around the file operations. This probably made the HTTP class quicker to write, but

- Anyone wanting to make changes to the HTTP import functionality needed to also fully understand the file import functionality since basically all of it was used to import from HTTP, and

- Many changes to the file import functionality also broke usages of the HTTP import functionality. (Fortunately these breakages were always revealed by automated tests before they made it into master.)
Nah, I think the one with a $6T annual budget, a money printer, and the monopoly on violence is the one in charge.
>This feels like a good long term vision for Mozilla.

>The browser wars are basically over

and why is that? Oh because Mozilla hasn't put any energy into getting better or pulling back market share from the moment it started to bleed out to Chrome.

Let's not just sit back and go "Oh well, they lost nothing they could do" shrug. They built their tech in such an obtuse and opinionated way it's impossible to integrate anywhere else, milked their millions selling off customer data to Google via the default search interface, burned the money on private jets and shockingly overpaid low-talent low-vision executives. Burned engineering talent on a VPN service no one asked for just because it's a good money making scam if you advertize it on the right podcasts, made huge parts of their deep engineering teams redundant.

To be perfectly honest the only good long term vision for Mozilla is an empty office or a landfill. Their existence under the current management doomed the internet back to the IE6 era of browser variety. Firefox the browser would be way better off if Mozilla the company didn't exist.

Baffles me they have any good will left at all from people who care about the internet. This company will literally do anything else than work hard on their browser.

There are degrees of everything but I'm sure there is a non-trivial subset of developers/engineers who don't blog/write, post on social media professionally, attend conferences. Maybe a lot of them are just 99% dark because they posted on HN a few times. But you might be surprised at how many people are nearly invisible on the web--and certainly professionally.
They still make bus systems similar to S-100.

VME was a successor, and I use VPX which has PCI Express (or any switched fabric if you're ambitious enough) on the backplane, at my day job every day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPX

I wish VPX was more widely-adopted. You can get processor modules, the modules can have XMC mezzanine cards for add-ins like GPUs and NVMe drives, 10-gig (and faster) networking (including switches and routers) over the backplane, RAID storage arrays, FPGA modules, and more all in a rugged chassis.

You can get compact 3U boards and can make NUC-sized systems, or use the full-sized 6U boards and go nuts cramming capability into a printer-sized boxes.

But because it is almost exclusively limited to the aerospace/military domain everything is obscenely expensive.

A cheaper, less rugged, consumer-focused version could transform computing: easy tool-less upgrades, no clearance/compatibility issues with GPUs, cable-less desktops, and extreme modularity.

You could have an 8-bay chassis the size of a NAS from Synology or QNAP with 8 slots, with 2 for CPU, 2 for GPU (or 1 each for low-power devices), 1 for storage, 1 for advanced pro audio, 1 for video capture, and 1 with a bunch of M.2 slots for massive storage arrays. Need to upgrade your gpu? Just pull a handle and slide it out, and slide the new one in.

> There's nothing stopping rich-country poor people from eating like poor-country poor people, except the lack of life skills and desire.

This just isn't true as a blanket statement in the US. I've been both wealthy and poor, and my experience is that when I've been poor, it was simply unaffordable to eat decently. My problem was not a lack of skills or desire, but money.

But, as I said in a different comment, this depends quite a bit on where in the US you live.

I can only talk to my experience at IBM on-and-off from '89 through '94. There were many things wrong with IBM, but at least through '94, internal processes were fairly solid. Compare that to my current firm, where we wasted three days of employee time trying to figure out how to get Workday to properly render the text area I was supposed to use to provide employee evaluations. (This doesn't include the days it took to find someone in HR who understood what Workday was and had an idea who in the company managed it. It turns out that employees are given access roles in Workday (not really a bad idea) but our humans didn't understand that only people with specific roles could create surveys with form elements regular users could fill in. We apparently fired the people who knew that during the last round of layoffs.)
