This does not make any sense. GrapheneOS supports all pixel phones. In fact, they support pixel phones only.

I am thinking of buying pixel just for this.
I believe AdNauseam uses EasyList, so if it doesn't include the EasyPrivacy part of that (which contains the trackers) by default it seems like it would be easy to add.

That said, I don't think this is an effective strategy at all. Safari has placed a big giant hole in tracking (like 20% of users) and lots of sites are still proceeding like nothing has changed. Google referrer spam was run at mega-scale dumping billions (at least) of spam hits into millions of profiles and didn't effect tracking efforts.

A plugin run by .0001% of users or whatever that adds in a bunch of slop to the numbers just makes more analysts pull out their hair rather than leading to change.
I do not consider this to be an upgrade. An upgrade would be like actually changing one part for a new improved one. This may be a physical part or new operating system. But when everything has been purchased, already paid for, and in place, then it becomes an unethical practice of extortion rather than a subscription for a service. Suppose I built you a house and you paid me in full for it. Then I told you if you ever need more storage space I would charge you a monthly subscription fee to give you access to your own basement by remotely unlocking your basement door, would you stand for that?
> A publisher provided distribution. That’s it.

throwawaaarrgh argues that they provide prestige, too.

I agree. Certainly, I can’t see that publishers only provide distribution, as that should be almost trivial to replicate, and lead to a race to the bottom, price-wise, and the entire process would long have been “replaced by a CMS solution hosted in the cloud”.
I agree with the former, but I absolutely can't agree with the latter. Services aren't necessary to scale up Rails applications. Plenty of people get along just fine with plain old model-view-controller architectures.
> Matomo is decent, but my main issue with it is the performance when run at any sort of scale. It's PHP/MySQL, which is nice for ease of self-hosting, but it means a lot of things need to be pre-calculated.

I've never actually run into performance issues, neither when using it in production professionally, nor for my self-hosted sites (with Matomo always running on-prem). I'd say the performance of PHP and MySQL/MariaDB is most likely decent as long as you don't go too far into specialized workloads, for example log aggregation/tracing; though even some APM solutions like Apache Skywalking also support using traditional RDBMSes for this purpose as well: https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/v9.0.0/en/setup/back...

That said, I can't help but to wonder at what actual scale (number of logged events/second, given certain hardware) you'd run into issues. Luckily, because adding basic analytics is usually quite easy, testing this for your own workloads shouldn't be out of the question - then you can let the data speak for itself.
No one is buying 10 versions of a damn plug. Only a gadget enthusiast who changes their phone type every year would see that problem. If you stick to Android there is one plug. If you stick to iPhone there is one plug.
I wonder how much of the journal bureaucracy, such as peer-review, actually adds value. Do we really need vetted journals? Are pre-print upload sites with the ability to comment good enough?
I'm often wondering how to couple both. Explore freely, extract more invariants and constraints as types/tests. Iterate.
ChatGPT cannot build a simple working site from scratch
I gave chatGpt a simple task to build a website that takes name of team members and splits them randomly into teams.

It started off well by making me install python and flask and build a skeleton website. But it could not make it work completely.
After a few debugging back and forth it went round and round doing and undoing same mistakes, but could not get the task completed..

Am I doing something wrong?
Automate data extraction with AI-powered document parser
Parsio is an AI-powered document parser.

It uses machine learning and parsing templates to extract structured data from emails, PDFs, Excel, CSV, HTML and XML files.

The parsed data can be exported in real time to Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, Airtable, and 6000+ apps via Zapier and webhooks.

HN has the better choice. If you don't want stark look of black on white, change the background color, not the font color.

Not quite sure what the point of some comments being in lower contrast.
Makes sense. In movies I see things like a dirty arrow or a sword is guaranteed death from infection. Assuming the movie portrayal is accurate what is the differentiating thing that causes a dirty wound from a weapon to kill but not a dirty knick?
I wish ITA did some talks because I assume their experience of CL is very different from most. Even at the project management layer, they have deep serious constraints.. it's not just a simple product.
> In fact, it's probably just an extension of psychology.

This is true to the extent (and only to the extent) that behaviorism eventually managed to poke a little bit into economics, which had been dominated by the ivory tower rational actor model detached from empiricism before and longer than any of the other social sciences.
Assuming you have almost no prior knowledge about LSD, you might not be sure whether you're in the control group or not if you were actually given the placebo. If you received the LSD instead: 75ug is a very noticeable dose, I assure you you would have zero doubt whether you were in the control group or not.

In my case (80kg, male, slender/muscular), 75ug is the highest dose I can still, with significant and perpetual effort, appear sober to the uninitiated.
The default font size on HN is unreadable, and has issues with contrast, especially with downvoted or text posts.
I think phrases like “a journal that got caught publishing a questionable study” imply a level of malice that isn’t appropriate. Journals publish studies all the time with some degree of peer review and a fraction of them are going to have problems, plus there is always the possibility of deliberate fraud that peer-review systems are explicitly not designed to catch. You shouldn’t believe every published study is 100% accurate just because it was published. But you also shouldn’t use phrases like “got caught” unless your goal is to imply deliberate malfeasance.
Slendmail: Sendmail Meets Slack
I run a health food company[1] and when going to trade shows to interact with reps from the big ingredient supplier companies it's all about touting that everything is 'Legally GRAS' or Generally Recognized as Safe and 'Clean Labeling' meaning that experimental ingredients can be put on the label under a more innocuous sounding name. Inquiring as to actual safety is met with blank stares.

The Commission staff who signed these contracts are clearly idiots. Why do you assume they aren't paying 10x what the natural market rate would have been? Pfizer realized the EU would sign literally anything to be able to say it was going to save the day by purchasing vaccines. That's the absolute perfect time to set prices well above what you normally could charge!
On the part of the internet where they talk about extinction risk from AI, they have a meme like "How Will AI [Change the Economy]" where the point is how small-minded it is to think of economic changes compared to extinction risk.

The stronger your immune system is the higher are your chances to survival. Until your immune system is so strong it attacks it’s own host.

Evolutionary pressures will make sure that organisms are very close to the edge between to weak and to strong.

One naive way of interpreting this is that 50% of the population will have a immune response that is to strong (above the edge) and 50% to weak (under the edge). But it is naive to say that, as this is a topic that has much more complexities than the one dimensional model that I have described here.

At what percentage the threshold of the statistics for what we call autoimmune disease would be located would be interesting to know.
It's possible that you have experienced an enlightenment that I have yet to, but ultimately I like lisp because parenthesis are pretty, I hate remembering syntax, keywords/symbols are nicer than immutable strings, and typing out commas makes me sad (not that you'd know it from the way I abuse them in this comment).

I mean, lots of languages have REPLs now- people get that they're really useful! This isn't secret knowledge, the pros and cons are on display. Macros are nice (though of course Ruby has them too), but I'm always surprised by how far people get with method call chaining (hell they have monads over in JS land now). The experience of writing lisp is very similar to that of writing Ruby, or even Javascript- really any dynamically typed language with good enough lambda support. It's by no means as strange as an array or concatenate language. It would surprise me very much if the reason you and I like lisp, or other people don't like lisp, was anything other than taste!

I can buy that, but I also think that we're now much less likely to replace USB-C, even if the reasons to do so in the future are just as compelling as the reasons for migrating away from micro.

Actually, I think (but I'm no lawyer) that if the USB-IF wants to standardize a new connector, they'd want to call it USB-C v2.0.

The law seems to implicitly defer to them to define "USB-C". If the consortium wants a new standard they could either reuse the name, or wait 2.5 years on average for EU approval or rejection.
I'm having similar family issues like are describing. Fortunately my work is very accommodating. They let me WFH and it's ok if I have to leave with no notice to take care of a family emergency.

My company values me as an employee and I value them as an employer. That's how it should be. They're not all horrible out there, but if you find yourself in a horrible place like you are describing, they are not worthy of your hard work.

One of the most gratifying things in work is when you are finally fed up and quit, the surprise on your manager's face, like they never saw it coming.
Clarifying what the spirit of the law isn't "childish". Law isn't software. Judges always take the spirit of the law into account when making decisions, and precedence is as important as the actual written text. This is true in both the US and the EU.
> this program

What program are you talking about?

The article is about Common Lisp, but perhaps you are talking about the Portacle setup mentioned in the article?

Or is this just a general snipe at CL? Is it a problem to use QuickLisp [1]? Or are you talking about deeper problems.

I think you could have something useful to say here, but I don't think that post conveys it.

This just sounds like a just world fallacy thinking, that if people do a genuinely excellent job they'll surely win against $0 competition that improves every week.

Much of the existing LLM have been trained to sound dry and always the same and require creative promoting to get around that, but they very much so are capable of creative, thoughtful pieces based on increasingly long amounts of information and instruction you can provide.
I’m genuinely delighted by the “here’s a demo, except it’s only served through a protocol unsupported by the browsers you’d want to try it on” thing. It fits in so beautifully.

Reminds me of how in 2012 I tried to install IE6 on a Windows 2000 Server machine, to improve my experience over IE5 for the purposes of making a simple HTA GUI for some simple scripting, but even once I could find a copy of the IE6 installer, it no longer worked, presumably because it depended on something on the public internet that was no longer there in some way. So I coped with IE5. (And I think it was 5.0, not even 5.5.) I don’t know exactly when that machine was finally decommissioned, but it was definitely gone by 2020.
This reminds me of a fun little experience on a production shoot. The producer had hired a company that specializes in recording the sound of a car. This wasn't just the sounds of the engine running or driving, but the sounds of the car handle from outside and inside, the sound of the door opening/closing again inside/outside. Apply this to every aspect of the car. Pedals, shifters, ignition switches/buttons, trunks, and on and on. Basically, a sound designer's wet dream. This shoot was not meant to have any dialog delivered, it was all about the car, so these were the only sound team available. When a typical snafu with scheduling was announced, we needed to get a quick sound bite from an actor but gear was unavailable. When the producer asked the car company to help out, they were aghast at the gall to even ask them to demean themselves. Ultimately, it was recorded with an iPhone voice memo.

The final mix of the car was amazing though
After learning Python, I wanted to take the next step and find what was better. I looked into a lot of languages reading books on Haskell and Lisp and many others. At least for my use cases (desktop scripting, numerical work... etc) I didn't find Lisp to be superior. Most of what I actually needed to do could be done simpler in Python. Python's REPL isn't near as good as CL, but it's good enough. Then the batteries included was huge. So practically any task I could whip something up pretty quick. There are definitely some areas where Lisp is obviously superior to Python such as performance of plain code or things such as grammarly that would've likely been harder in python. I just think for the vast majority of programmers, enough good parts were pulled from lisp.
> Shouldn't this be a “solved” style problem in 2023!

Grey-on-grey text is idiotic. It's everywhere. So is scroll-jacking; so is weird animations on text articles (The Guardian does this from time to time). So is web-pages that come up as a sheet of whiteness, if you don't want to run javascript indiscriminately (REACT, I think). So is megabytes of script, just to display a page of text.

This kind of stuff is weenie web-developers, showing off. I used to do that - in 2001. It's fun. But I wasn't designing high-profile websites with important text content.
Not the commenter, but “Fatal Flaw” is intentionally full of hyperbole, which arguably makes it unhelpful to use for psychological terminology.

Assuming the commenter wasn’t making satire then this is not a very polite way to put that, fyi.
> The range of SKUs is a problem AMD and Intel (particularly) brought upon themselves.

Its a problem for simplicity of naming, its not a problem beyond that (and the alternative is a problem if you aren’t a vertically integrated producer supporting a fairly narrow end-user product line.)
This is what I think as well, I think we will see just another failure mode of capitalism, accumulation of wealth in hands of the few to the detriment of the rest, bubbles popping etc. . I think that the system was kind of designed for infinite growth, which worked well for sometime, but we might be reaching some ceilings here and there.

Kinda sad that I've just got my first full-time gig, I mean I'm very happy and grateful, but I feel like I should have been born 5 years earlier to really get enough funds and traction to feel safe.
"and so does every human who reads anything online"

Why should things have human rights and privileges then ? I really don't know the solution to the emerging issues we face here, but I read the same "like a human" argument over and over and I can't really help but notice that LLM's are NOT human. We deny a lot of human rights to primate animals but should immediately accept the human-likeness of LLM's ?

"If Openai "stole" publicly posted content, then so does Google"

This also makes a lot of assumptions which I think we shouldn't make just yet. That's because if we equate LLM's with a search engine then the argument of plagiarism makes a lot more sense. At least google leads to the original content.
This is simply not true. Laws can be written exceptionally clearly, and very often are.

And the "spirit of the law" is a fallacy, which your sentence exposes when you write:

> "the legislator is trying to accomplish"

Because yes, there is absolutely intent with a single legislator. But there is no such thing as intent or spirit for a legislature (or committee). A legislature can pass a law, say 51 to 49, where every one of the 51 majority legislators has a different intent for passing it. And this isn't even the exception, it's the norm -- laws are hashed out in subcommittees as inelegant compromises because each legislator wants a different thing out of it.

Legislation that gets passed has no "intent" and no, humans don't know "pretty well" what was trying to be accomplished, because it's a compromise between competing wings/individuals of a party or coalition, and the only "intent" that they could decide on was what got written in the law, and nothing else.

Again, the "spirit of the law" is a fallacy. It's an illusion people would like to believe, but it doesn't exist.

Currency, colonies, cultural coherency (shared language and festivals) along with massive internal competition. Militarily strong city states, within which verbal argumentation flourished. All that was prior to literacy, which hit around 750 BC.

Then one big thing was the development of a philosophical perspective that treated math as the basis of reality. That was also re-emerged as a trigger of the scientific revolution. Attributed to Pythagoras—but he deliberately never wrote anything down. What’s nice about not having written doctrines is that they can more easily evolve. The Pythagoreans, btw, also apparently conducted the first hypothesis driven experiment — testing their mathematical model of musical consonance by generalizing it from stringed instruments (where small integer ratios of string length produce consonance) to bronze chimes (where they found small integer ratios or chime thickness also produced consonance).

The recognition that “all is number” corresponds with (but doesn’t necessarily cause) big leaps in collective cultural progress.
I’m all against such embellishments but crypto really has little societal benefit and many negatives. The biggest way it’s impacted my life is the rise of ransomware!
That's a lot of tough questions. I don't think answers are lacking, but you will find anything and its exact opposite.

Who funds this and that research?

You will find that pharnaceuticals in their desire to show growing market opportunities to their backers, and grow, will make very well sure to fund enough groups so that some of them come up with the conclusion: these issues are on the rise and don't appear to relate to environnemental exposures, even adding that treatments are or will be made available to diagnosed patients.

You will then find another paper, likely funded by an NGO working on reducing the use of pesticides, or other surely health impacting industrial habits, that there is undeniable correlation between the intensive use of chemicals in agro and the rise of auto-immune disease, with a lag of X years, whatever make the numbers look legit.

I'm not qualifying scientific research in general as biased towards the backers' incentives, but there is a lot of noise in statistical discoveries, scientists mostly interested in publishing something since that's their financial prerogatives to stay in the game.

With all that being said, I will give my "opinion" which may answer part of your questions, but my conclusion wasn't reached by the standard of scientific methods:

- we are ingesting and getting exposed to a wider range and higher quantities of toxic compounds, often so synthetic.
- the immune system is a complex machine, that tilts and can overreact when on alerts, tends to have good memories, and can trigger or retrigger oversensitiveness, all for our survival's sake, it isn't de facto a disease to have the immune system take the wrong fights.
- that immune system, shown to not always discriminate properly, probably having evolved to be rather safe than sorry.
- we don't fully understand the immune system, maybe we barely do.

Is it possible that we diagnose as a disease what might simply be the expected consequences of long term exposures to undersirable chemicals? That pharma got to sell something so they don't have any problem marketing chemical therapies and strongly promoting that rather than suggesting addressing the causes might be a better option?

It wouldn't be the first time in history that physicians insist with the known treatments for symptoms they ignored the causes.

Again take this with a pinch of salt, i am not advising against drug treatments altogether but took the opportunity to remind this thread that health care is also a business.
