The paper from Fló is from 2013.

The book I quoted, which is excellently researched, is from 2019. I suggest to read it.

Of course it references & refutes the very research from Fló you cited [1].

Maybe you should have considered that possibilty and formulated your reply as a question before accusing me of omitting facts?

Sadly your reply does align with most reactions to anything that questions any of Borges work.

On a side note, Borges was a male celebrity. Nelken was a female nobody in comparison.
Go figure.

I don't by default accept the existence of such phenomena, instead I don't want to summarily, without investigation, dismiss the existence of it.

There might still be a way we can test these hypotheses at some point in the future. It's just that we can't do it now.

But not being able to test it now, is no reason to dismiss it, because then we will never go down the path that might eventually result in it being testable.
Does this mean that in theory i could skip the build/bundling step entirely?

E.g. i could have a backend project in whatever language i wanted but then instead of having an npm frontend project, instead i could:

1. use a jsconfig.json and jsdoc to gradually type with typescript but without need for tsc since my editor gives me feedback anyway
2. use es modules to handle splitting and caching the various .js files of my app
3. use this import maps feature so that i can still gzip and add the digest of the file to the filename so that i can safely say cache every .js forever since if theres a change, the filename will differ and this feature means i can still import from friendlyname rather than friendlyname-hashed-value

What am i missing from the bundle approach:

Optimal file transfer - all in one js bundle, but if i have http2 then i don’t care because the overhead of multiple files is gone

minify - i don’t care since i gzip anyway

sourcemaps - i dont care since the files presented to the browser are the ones i wrote, maps are redundant

I quite like react but i think i’d like simplifying my tool chain more and using something like htmx instead.

EDIT: i want to qualify the “i quite like react” statement, i have pure components only, no useState, for state handling in the small i’m fine with pure useReducer’s but zustand is nicer for my cases since i can also use that to prevent subtree re-renders of the reducer/context barebones approach.
Corporations were always maximally greedy, but there were times where the markets were not 200% saturated and new demand did not had to be created artificially by mass indoctrination.

I mean, everybody who have seen their neighbor's electric / gas stove wanted one for themselves very quickly to avoid the need to lug wood. And when radio and TV came? Don't even get me started. Fridge, washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, camera, car, phone, portable music player, PC, laptop, cell phone...

It all sells / sold really easily just by word of mouth and you just needed to run slightly faster than competitors to capture higher portion of the market. So the incentives were mostly aligned and capitalism delivered value (in those areas).

Now there is no easy way to create a good or service that will instantly save multiple hours per week for almost everybody. No easy way to make luxuries of past like having oneself painted or being served a meal (women must have loved that) available to masses. But still, some that provide meager improvements managed to take off. Robotic vacuums, food (and grocery) delivery services come to mind.

Hence the rush to convert the market shares into an enduring rent.

Eventually corporate landlords will realize that they have the ultimate power and just tax everyone so high that only the basic subsistence is possible, with zero luxury. Maybe then the public will finally reconsider the arrangement.
The exact same sentiment was had last time. The consequences from these shenanigans last time had very little real impact - a _very_ slight increase in interest rate on treasuries.

And i predict that this time, at the last minute, the bill will pass again, like every other time. Unless the republicans truly believe that it's worth going down with the ship for.
However, one can still add that marketplace, if one wants to do so. So people could still have access to the same extensions (which might be a privacy and telemetry or spyware risk), but at least not have the in-built telemetry.
Yeah, unless you're a shop running outlook and teams, not sure you really have a say here. Maybe this is what customers want.

Also, not entirely clear that verge isn't just knee jerk reporting. Any sys admins that have actual first hand experience with this and can confirm?
Reminder: vendor your imported scripts if you’re doing this. I shouldn’t have to trust or give data to a CDN to use your website. There isn’t a meaningful performance win either since browsers now cache per domain for privacy reasons.

If the market always worked this way, why is it being blamed for inflation that has only existed for the past year?
3 is a real tribute to the effectiveness of data bombing in the age of AI.

For the very obvious reason that this type of AI is only the mechanization of the zeitgeist, or the encapsulation of the collective wisdom of populations. Russia's war has been by FAR the most effective on this front, and that's no accident: their tactics and grand strategy are pretty well documented.

So basically the way to get your future AIs to become your indoctrinated suicide bombers, is to get at the most widely dispersed range of people represented in your dataset, and cause as many of them as possible to hold weakly held beliefs along the lines you need.

If you can get left wingers, right wingers, stockbrokers, delivery people to all agree with 'fizzorks are probably purple, right? I heard someone say they were purple. Doesn't matter to me personally, but I think fizzorks are purple' then you'll construct an iron law within the population, and subsequently the AI. You don't need to get individuals within the population to be fanatic fizzork purplists: in fact it's unhelpful, because they're identified as fanatics and discounted. Instead you're shooting for 'didn't somebody say fizzorks are purple?' on a massive scale.

Real-world applications are, of course, obvious, but hopefully my abstraction will prove useful.
thats really cool but this will only be over when >external< importmaps and decent browser dev tool support is there too. inlining is a pain in most setups and when things don't work as expected its harder than it should be to find out why a prefix did not work.
Ask HN: Embedded Engineering in India
HN readers from India, how many of you are currently working in Hardware/Firmware Engineering roles? What has been your experience like in these domains in terms of salary and general working conditions? How mature is the embedded engineering space in India?

Background: I am a HW/FW engineer, with a decade of experience in the domain of embedded engineering across various industries in Europe, and I am now contemplating on returning to India for good.
I doubt "love" for the software is involved here. I think many users believe Chrome is "the internet" just like they used to believe the Google search page was the internet, or Internet Explorer before that. This impression of Chrome was built on the fact that it's a solid browser but was enforced by Google with the same underhanded practices they applied for years.

My Android phone came with Chrome which I can't uninstall, just disable. Chrome is just there on millions of mobile devices, it was already on millions of PCs and has been for years, so people are used to that. The synergies between those devices and the Google services services makes it easy to stay and hard to leave.
The event was not an isolated incident; there had been a series of radioactive discharges from the piles in the years leading up to the accident. In the spring of 1957, only months before the fire, there was a leak of radioactive material in which strontium-90 isotopes were released into the environment. Like the later fire, this incident was also covered up by the British government. Later studies on the release of radioactive material due to the Windscale fire revealed that much of the contamination had resulted from such radiation leaks before the fire.
Self-signed certificate in chain for diagnostics.apple.com
So we've all seen apple's first ever rapid security response update roll out in the past few days.

Now - a few days - later, the diagnostic console interface for apple service techs will show that the CA for the site is untrusted (everywhere but in safari of course).

As it is the apple way to not actually inform about the security implications pre patch, I'm here to ask and ponder what is going on over there?

Here's the excerpt of openssl s_client diagnostics.apple.com:443

You're just assuming that China would let people leave the country with their wealth. Are you forgetting that countries have control over their borders and how finances are handled?
> I never understood why Microsoft thought cloning chrome was a good thing for adoption.

It’s all about Electron. There may be a Microsoft contingent that thinks it’s the future or maybe they are just hedging, but for now it’s important for stuff like Teams.
I had the same problem. OP, your logo/favicon is a navy blue bold capitalized P superimposed on an electric blue P of the same size, slightly off to the lower right.

This is extremely similar to the PayPal logo/favicon and could be problematic for your branding (I'm the second user who got confused just in this thread), or could even cause you legal issues.
They are going to make me have a second computer. One for gaming. One more browsing. I'll just never open anything but Steam on my windows computer. Given how small and cheap Linux boxes can be, I guess I'll get on this pronto.
>They could literally destroy Microsoft if they started to hugely degrade the experience of Microsoft products on iOS and Android with dark patterns a la Microsoft.

Sorry, but Google really isn't a saint regarding degraded experience. The shenanigans around UX for example using Google services in Firefox have a long, well documented tradition. They just aren't as overt and clumsy with it as MS.
Hey Florents, thanks for sharing about Diofanti.org, it's great to see someone working to increase transparency and accountability in government spending in Greece.

I know that European Union member states are obliged to provide public sector data, including on government spending, based on the EU Directive 2019/1024 but as you mentioned, the implementation and quality of data provided depends on each country.

One suggestion I have is to consider creating a mobile app for Diofanti to make it more accessible to people. Also, you could provide APIs to allow other developers to build on top of your processed data.

Keep up the great work!
I see Microsoft is again turning to the Foie Gras method of increasing engagement.

Yup. I'm on macOS and while Apple has its own weird and hostile behavior, it's still much better than Microsoft.
> The equivalent for this on iOS or Android would be allowing opening links in a different browser and web view engine.

In Android, all my links open in Firefox. I don't see any issue there. Might serve as an inspiration to Microsoft ;)
HTTPS by default came just in time for protecting us from ubiquitous injected ads from ISPs and wifi APs, we are lucky to not have experienced the worst of that.
If you don't use Apple Music at all, you can uninstall it from your phone and it will stop being the default choice. I do this on my phone without any problems.
> They could literally destroy Microsoft if they started to hugely degrade the experience of Microsoft products on iOS and Android with dark patterns a la Microsoft. But they don't.

I disagree here. Despite me using firefox on my android device and it being set to my default browser, many apps will still open in chrome (usually google apps - maps, gmail, etc) despite me explicitly asking it _not_ to do that. It's also not clear that it's using chrome, as it's the "generic" browser modal. The way that google services are bundled together on android and have limited interop (Samsung and Google Pay regularly fight with each other on my device for "who is the default payment method", and google is _not_ happy to not be my default).

Google have been pushing manifest v3 despite massive objections, introducing undocumented "fair usage" limits [0], require third party cookies to use some of their services to download files (gmail, gdrive). Google are drowning in dark patterns.

Plenty of good science is out there.

And yes the current stage gives us a very very clear path ahead.

There is also now gpt4 model available on openai which has access to python and can run it.

We are definitely going in the direction of LLM combining with GAN ideas.

Googles med ml (I think it's med-palm-ml)model is progressing too.

This hype is not just a hype it's the unknotting of the ml knot.

We know for a while that plenty of actors do stuff with ml but it wasn't as good and as obvious to people like now that ml is super crazy critical.
On a story by story basis saying points=time is an idea as silly as your deliberate misinterpretation of my post, yes.

You only ever find tutorials on writing type checkers in things like haskell or similar.

It is often like that owl joke in art. "Step one draw a circle, step two draw some triangles, step three draw the rest of the fucking owl" and its hard to get into step 3
It's not a technical problem.

It's more of an ideology about Microsoft forcing whatever they want on users.
It would have been a lot worse without "Cockcroft's Folly" - massive filters built on top of the "chimneys" that caught radioactive crud coming up the stack.

These reactors weren't build for nuclear power or anything, they were built to create the right kind of nuclear materials for weapons. They were essentially a couple of bloody great big nuclear bonfires!

He also along with Ernest Walton developed the Cockcroft-Walton multiplier, which is a clever arrangement of capacitors and diodes that produce a very high voltage from an AC source. Initially these were used in "atom smashing" cyclotrons, but came to be used in every CRT television you've ever seen.
Honestly? Both. I just want a place where people primarily look at coding as fun and not a way to make money.
Yeah there’s a serious lack of discussion of Idris in this thread. Probably the most fun, least used programming language ever.
That's not proven yet. Random behaviour might be due to undiscovered inherent properties.

But even if there are random things, are they thus irrational? Or just unpredictable? Is today's lottery number wrong in some way?
I mean yeah, even just doing regular inference is borderline impossible on a normal machine given that we're even having this discussion. Training is just completely unfeasible.
Amnesty claims that it used the AI-generated images to protect the protesters, but since they risked their lives to protest in the streets in the first place, will they really thank Amnesty for saving their lives?
These vilification are propaganda, likely covert operations from places like china or russia.

The IMF is no saint, but they at least is looking to improve things, despite not acting altruistically. Their loans are contingent on economic reforms - e.g., Pakistan's default is in part due to state subsidies and inefficient tax allocation, etc. In the short term, reforming these things looks like causing of suffering for the population, but so does alcohol/drug withdrawal. In the long term, it produces a better economic outcome imho.

Contrast this with stuff like the Belt and Road initiative.
If I understand this correctly, would an example use case work as follows?

I want to get a loan for a house. A lender wants to see that I am trust worthy enough for a loan, however I don't want just any potential lender to know my exact bank account balance or anything like that, just that I have enough.

So, a program is written in Cairo that validates either I do or don't have enough, and the lender can verify the results, without seeing anything else.

Is that more or less how it goes or can someone help make this real for me?
I guess it depends on how long the batch jobs run and how much they impact interactive use compared to the normal dayshift workload.
React is already often slow enough. Pushing compilation steps to the client is inefficient, especially when you consider that JSX compiles to basic functions and you could have used those functions since the first version.
In this case, the x-axis is a different unit from the unit of data measured by the radius, so the fact that it's off by a constant multiple doesn't matter; it's just an arbitrary scale.

If both the x- and y-axes were encoding data in the same unit as the area encoded, then it might make sense to correct for the area, but I don't think I've ever seen a plot like that.
I have that setting set, and various links still open in chrome instead of firefox for me. In particular, links that are opened via gmail, maps or the "google" search widget.
> advancement of US interests at the expense of killing half a million people

Half a million are only direct casualties of war. Excess deaths due to the war are over a million.
> I predict that the fight will be more about defining intelligence than inventing it.

I don't think anyone really cares. What's important is what it can do.
The funny part there is the level of intellectual laziness in that answer itself.

It’d be nice in some ways if it were that easy, wouldn’t it? Poverty would be easily ignored because it’d be chosen. Except, as noted above, even then, when economic disparities pass a tipping point, violent revolution tends to happen. So even if that idea were correct, the rich cannot afford to ignore inequality either.
It's obviously a trade off. But we've been running a GitHub Action/Gitlab Job/pick-your-poison task, to just dump build output on an FTP server. It's just static websites, and it has never broken.

In my mind, this is so basic, that anyone (who is a developer), should be able to do it. But that's just my take.
> FDIC premiums are not payed by taxpayers

Tax payers are legally required to pay taxes in USD. I'm not actually sure if the IRS technically accepts cash but if so it would be extremely rare. Meaning all tax payers have a bank account and ultimately foot the bill even though it is technically funneled through the banks' books first.

It's very coercive, and therefore insincere.
I'm not saying there is no price fixing, but this could also be explained by the supermarket chains all using the same suppliers (which is most definitely the case since the dairy market is not as diversivied as one might think; it's dominated by a few big players) and those suppliers already doing cut-throat price competition with razor sharp margins, meaning that if the slightest cost increase happens then it impacts all of them and once one can't take it anymore and raises by a few decimal percentage points, everybody else will immediately do that to.

Ever been to a gas station? That raised the price multiple times a day just like the other gas stations a few hundred yards away? Same principle. Doesn't need price fixing as explanation. They are just all buying the same raw product.

Microsoft has now clearly declared this policy. The basis of the article is the message sent to IT admins clearly declaring it.
Initially you just didn't get Settings Sync as it uses a Microsoft account and you had to use a different extensions gallery (but the MS one still lets you download extensions as a file to install into Codium). Nowadays you also lose Remote Development, Codespaces, Pylance, some C# features, and various other MS authored extensions.

>Edge and Chrome use the same engine, don’t they?

To be precise: No, they don't. Their engines are based on the same codebase, but they still are running their own installed engines.

In contrast, Apple doesn't just refuse to allow non-WebKit engines. It requires everyone to use the pre-installed, Apple-provided engine. You can't use your own build of WebKit.
Exactly, and this is why wealth inequality is the biggest social-economic problem we have right now, leading to the rise of the far-right (interestingly, the far left seems quiet compared to the early 20th century - I suppose the 'defeat of communism' is fresher in everyone's minds than the defeat of fascism).
A simple geographic bias for proximity would probably help with that - I'd love a curated news feed that has reporting on both major world events and news local to my hometown.

What you're looking for is a "cup holder expander" or "cup holder adapter". Much like the cigarette lighter became a power delivery standard because it's there, so too has the cup holder become a standard, although admittedly quite a bit more nascent.

How about only enabling this functionality when Edge is the user's default browser? We somehow managed without it for several decades.

Force-opening another browser despite user-configured defaults is utterly disrespectful to the user. You're trying to frame it as something helpful but it's not helpful in any way whatsoever. It interferes with the user getting their job done using a tool you made.
