I feel similarly to you...long-time user, bummed out by stuff like this. Sometimes it feels like Firefox would be a lot better off without Mozilla occasionally making deals like this.
At this point, what's the purpose of continuing with the Starliner program? Does it provide any capability that's not already proven with Dragon?

It's not that I like Firefox so much as that all the competition is unusable. Firefox has gone downhill, but at least it's extensible enough that I can largely reverse the decay.
Okay, but what do the politicos say? Their opinion is the one which will drive decisions.
Well, except Lightning UX is horrible.
Well, they might realise their use case it’s better suited to FreeBSD. But probably not better-enough to switch OS.

But mainly they might make make more educated comments. Sometimes, and maybe this is more a historic thing, the Linux advocates can get a bit carried away.

After 6 months of testing different diets to try to solve my migraines, I eventually discovered an ultra-low histamine diet resulted in a ~90% decrease in my headaches. Then I began trying different DAO products before eating foods with histamine, but the headaches returned. I eventually discovered NaturDAO (available via Amazon) and its much higher 1,000,000 HDU per pill. Taking two of these before any meal or coffee finally worked to stop the food-induced migraines for me. Hope this helps.
I imagine one must spend most time running in particular self-confirming circles to expect to be taken seriously when retorting with "in the 70's 'they' said there would be a new ice age, yuk, yuk, yuk", especially around HN. It's been refuted repeatedly, and I see someone already got to it while I was typing this.
> We're not aiming for 100% compatibility, though we managed to polyfill a hefty amount of built-in Node modules, including ones that are callback based.

yeah, I'm aware of this. my point was that you couldn't 100% compatibility without compromising. fwiw it's a good thing. node can be a security nightmare if your team is not disciplined about dependencies.

w.r.t to node apis, technically you are like you say polyfilling them. and with that implementation differences hopefully allow you to continue to polyfill.
Nope. This whole whitsleblower thing is because it is company policy to hide from everyone every single malfunction event.
The camps went away and the guns stayed. Seems effective.
Looks great! I like the idea of focusing on highlighted regions at a time. I spent some time exploring similar form factors for learning the fretboard, focusing intervals and shapes more than the notes themselves (link below) - I implemented a two-step drag-and-release gesture with visual feedback for selecting positions on a mobile device, and I think it helps avoid frustrating mis-taps. Maybe something to consider for your UI as well. The additional modules look interesting! Bookmarked.

Just to clarify - we do have support for node_modules/ resolution (with all of its quirks and gotchas), otherwise we wouldn't be able to load npm packages. However we made a hard stance that CommonJS is only supported in npm dependencies and cannot be used in user code (ie. you must use ESM in your application code).
Selling access to your infrastructure, where you have a monopoly on reliable charging stations, where your entire mission is to 'accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy' is... desperate?

> Can jails be used to run subprocesses in the normal filesystem, but with a different network environment (for example making a given command run its net traffic through TAP)?

Jails are basically like a VM-like/light: it appears like jail is its own system. Not quite as heavy as an actual VM under (e.g.) Qemu with virtualized hardware. A jail can have its own network stack:

* https://klarasystems.com/articles/virtualize-your-network-on...

You can then create a 'virtual patch cable' between the host and the jail and send one side of the 'cable' to the jail and do routing and stuff on the host:

* https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?epair

But a (sub)process cannot be 'sent' to a jail: jails 'boot up' like a normal system does, and so you'd have your PID 1 run your regular daemon startup.

> Can jails be used to limit memory/cpu/IO/network for subprocesses? For threads within a process?

Yes:

* https://wiki.freebsd.org/JailResourceLimits

> Can live processes be moved into or out of a jail?

No: jails are VM-like in functionality.

> Can jails be used to make a process think it's running as a different user?

The jail, being VM-like, would have its own passwd.
Gumroads USP isn’t payment processing. Gumroads USP is that they handle international sales tax (also know as Merchant of Record), which, I’ve you’ve ever tried selling something on the Internet without committing tax fraud¹, will know that 12.9% is _cheap_.

The simplest way I can put it is, be careful that you're not rationalizing when you ought to be reasoning.

The former is the main source of the XY problem, and comes up very often in cases where people are stuck and asking for help. The main issue they would be having is that they're framing the problem incorrectly in their heads and working through the logic of the ideal solution based on faulty grounds.

I would like to point out the subtle irony in responding to these comments with a meta-scale XY problem: you think your problem is other people don't see the Y for what it is (people don't understand my questions are really about Y and not about X), while you are yourself blind to the X (I may not be framing my problem correctly in my mind which is leading to my overconfidence that it is Y and not X).

It's generally not a problem as long as you eat exactly the same amount of grapefruit every day. You just have to adjust the dosing to suit.

It's a lot easier to say "don't eat grapefruit" than it is to explain that "eat exactly the same amount every day" is not a lighthearted joke.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing.

The Tenuto app has some similar exercises (also available here: https://www.musictheory.net/exercises) you might take inspiration from, or others might find useful:

- fretboard interval identification. shows two dots on the fretboard, you are supposed to indicate the interval between them. this is useful for bridging the gap between audio interval recognition and actually playing by ear. since you already have the functionality for selecting notes - which the Tenuto app does not - a useful extension would be to have it where the app presents a note and an interval, and you select the note that is that interval distance from that note on the fretboard.

- fretboard chord indentification. shows multiple dots on the fretboard, you are supposed to indicate what chord it is. the tenuto app doesnt have the functionality for you to indicate what the inversion is. you could also do a similar extension where the fretboard has some notes selected and a chord display, and you select the rest of the notes needed to complete the chord.
Hardware RAID is now almost universal, we just call it "SSDs". With an SSD the relationship between the kernel's block device abstraction and the reality of how the blocks are stored has been interdicted by an opaque controller that decides what blocks to write, how to exploit device parallelism, and what mathematical codes to use for redundancy.
If your stack is K8s and you actually need K8s then none. Most people using K8s don’t actually need it and are practicing resume driven development.
From what I can tell, the average American drives somewhere between 12,000-15,000 miles a year. The average oil change interval for modern cars is 7,500-10,000 miles, so using the higher interval you would expect to change your oil roughly twice a year.

I have shingles in my left eye, since 2017. It didn't go away because after after a year or 2 of dealing with it, a doctor suggested I get my immune system checked. Turns out my immune system is for shit (IgG levels got down to 80; they are supposed to be 600-1500). They don't know the cause.

If you had shingles at 13, you must have had chicken pox before that, because that's how it works: you get CP first, it lies dormant in your nerve ganglia, then comes out as shingles when you are stressed or your immune system is weak.

Since you said you were vaccinated against measles but still caught them, it sounds like you might have an immune system issue like me. My body doesn't make antibodies, so I have to take weekly infusions of human IgG. IgA and IgM are also not working, but those apparently aren't as important. And I don't think there is any treatment to supplement them anyway.

Suggest you get an IgG, IgA and IgM blood test. If your levels are really low, you could be a walking time bomb like me. I was lucky and never got really sick, but while I was at Mayo, the levels were so low (80), they sort of freaked out and didn't want to let me leave without taking an infusion.
They always feign being sorry about doing things like that, but come back a few months later with the same bullshit over and over again, like a wife-beater.

They are completely pathetic and dysfunctional as an organization.
I don't think it will necessary "write directly to the brain" but rather just act as an extra sense of sorts. Which would still be extremely cool—I would personally love to experiment with giving myself all sorts of new senses, or even just finding patterns of stimulation that feel particularly nice.
Counter point that literally just bit me this morning. ChatGPT completely lied to me about the scaling properties of Kinesis. I was confused about the 1000 write / second but only 5 read / second throughput of a kinesis shard and was asking it a number of questions, including specifically if a batch read would count as only a single read operation. It explicitly told me that each record in the batch counted as an individual read. Most of the other information it gave me was accurate so I took this to be true.

Only the next day when I still couldn't wrap my head around why a real time processing system like be designed like this and did more google searching did I find it explicitly spelled out in the docs that a batch read counts as only a single read operation and can retrieve up to 10,000 records.

It's the first time I've been bit by this and it will definitely make me wary of any information it provides me in the future for technologies I am not intimately familiar with (at which point it's unlikely I'd need to consult it in the first place).
Ah, thanks for the correction; I’m guessing I read your comment too literally.

it's a bit unclear what they intended here but I see a lot of people assuming the absolute worst intent.

That Firefox would fully intend to insert full page unskippable adverts of it's own into unrelated websites is a major accusation and there is evidence this was an accident.

Looks more to me like bleepingcomputer purposefully sensationalized the issue as clickbait.
I've found that the best solution for anxiety/paralysis in work is to come up with a small number of next steps.

You can always come up with a list of 3-5 next steps that seem pretty reasonable, and that you can reliably execute. That's the key, because if they're unreasonable or you're not sure of being able to execute them then they'll continue to produce anxiety/paralysis. But these steps aren't solving the whole problem, they're just progress towards it.

Any single step might be to find 5 relevant papers, to read the papers, to send e-mails to 5 people who might have ideas, to make a list of all the things you know you know and all the things you know you don't know, to spend 60 minutes writing free-association brainstorming, to test out 3 different solutions, and so forth. It's all going to depend on your situation.

But the point is that you can always come up with bite-sized tasks and then execute on them. And when you can't, the task is always to start going around to other people and asking them for help.

And of course some things don't have current solutions, which you need to accept to. Always look to identify the point where, after researching and reaching out to people and gathering a reasonable amount information, whether it makes sense to continue or to move on to something else entirely.

IIRC, carbon isn't a significant component of high explosives. Carbon burns when supplied with oxygen, but you really don't want an explosive to burn. You want it to detonate, which tends to favor the form of nitrogen in various arrangements.

No. If they want noise, lies and pictures of humans they'd just turn on the TV. They visit their grandchildren to hear about their real-world accomplishment and reflect on how they've grown. Replacing that engagement with a digital recreation borders on inhuman cruelty, frankly. There is almost certainly no market for this.
Two is better than one. If Dragon were grounded for some reason, an operational Starliner would give NASA a lot more flexibility.
An example of how you could fill this in: identify a small subset of the problem that is relatively quick and easy to test. If the entirety of the problem can be solved, then for sure this small subset has to be solvable too. If you can't solve this small sub-problem, then you know there's not much point diving into the larger rabbit hole yet. However if you do solve the sub-problem, then that might show you the potential that exists, it may allow you to already look at adjacent problems using the results of this early test, and also important: it will give you additional motivation to keep going.
Epstein-Barr has long been thought to be a culprit in everything from MS to dementia to especially CFS. But that's a real problem: there are no antivirals developed that are particularly effective against it. EBV research has been a backwater in medicine.
What is the value proposition of using Mozilla VPN over Mullvad directly, other than adding a layer of USA on top of it (which is a bad thing imo)?

Also, has Mozilla VPN also a windows client, or is it more like the Opera Proxies (which were called VPN for some reason)?
this is why I try to practice pescetarianism. re gp's beef, chicken, pork: compare these animals to those they likely devolved from - dairy cattle from gazelles, antelope; poultry from cassowaries, ostriches; farm pigs from wild boar.. there is barely any resemblance left between these animals, having traded through inbreeding agility, physique, diet and genetic diversity for meat per kg per sqft per feed and docility. fish are the only remaining palatable animals most unfucked by humans
> my favorite is generating and explaining code snippets for languages/libraries I’m not familiar with.

For me this is one of the more dangerous uses.

Humans are already pretty bad at detecting errors in code. Bertrand Meyer, an expert with some renown in formal methods, couldn’t find an error in a one-liner of Eiffel code generated by ChatGPT. What hope do programmers with less training have to recognize when ChatGPT has given them an incorrect summary?
I suppose it's a bit like the question of whether non-human animals have "language": they do, in a sense, but it's rather different from human language.

>People really need to remember maintenance costs over the ownership period.

What people really need to do is the actual calculation, instead of saying things like "the Tesla will make it up over its lifespan". Will it, really?

The difference between a model Y and Corolla is, what, $10k-15k? That is a huge difference to make up. Most of the maintenance requirements a ICE has are required by an EV, too (less oil changes). Parts are way more expensive on the Tesla than the Toyota.

Oh, and do you think that governments are going to just let EVs operate on subsidized electricity forever? No, they will directly tax it in the future. Meanwhile, gasoline prices could decrease over time as the world transitions to greener sources. After all, have to pump the oil (increase supply) while it has value.

TL;DR People who buy a Tesla to "save money" are likely in for a shock.

Precisely the same rationale can be applied to you. When you figure out why your inscrutable culture has any perceptible value, apply that reasoning outside your intentionally-narrowed values system. Recognize that the culture has not truly dissolved - it's merely your recognition thereof which has.
What value is there in the advanced, inscrutable culture of a large group?
Gotta factor in that the IRS is gonna swipe 35-40% of that before it lands. Unless these awards are not taxed.
No I haven't. Thanks for the pointer.

For detecting uses of nouns like werewolf/werewolves, or vampire/vampires, I at least need the lemma to avoid writing different cases or a regex for each noun. Likewise, lemmatization can be used to handle different spellings (e.g. vampyre, or were-wolf). Similarly for verbs.

Lemmatization works best when it is coupled with part of speech tagging, so you avoid removing the -ing in adverbs for example.

Part of speech tagging also helps avoid incorrect labeling, such as not tagging 'bit' in "a bit is a single binary value" as the verb "to bite".

That's for the simple case.

Then there are more complex cases, like generalizing "[NP] was bitten by the vampire.", where NP can be a personal pronoun (he, she, etc.) or a name. There can also be other ways to say the same thing, e.g. "The vampire bit [NP] neck." where NP is now the object form (his, her, etc.) not the subject form. With UniversalDependencies or similar style dependency relations, you could match and label sentence fragments of the form "verb=bite, nsubj=vampire, obj=NP" (like in the first sentence) and "verb=bite, nsubj:pass=NP, obj=vampire" (like in the second sentence).

Without NLP, it becomes even harder to detect split variants like "cut off his head" and "cut his head off", which are the same thing written in different ways. I want to detect things like that and label the entire fragment "beheading", including other noun phrase variants.

With more advanced NLP features -- like coreference resolution (resolving instances of he/she/etc. to the same person), and information extraction (e.g. Dracula is a vampire) -- it would be possible to tag even more sentences and sentence fragments.
As someone closer to this in the industry (embedded ML.. and trying to compete) I agree with the sentiment. Their software is good, I willingly admit. Porting a model to embedded is hard. With NVIDIA, you basically don’t have to port. This has paid dividends for them, pun not intended.

I don’t really see the Nvidia monopoly on ML training stopping anytime soon.

HTMX requires JavaScript to work. If your goal is to render a usable page on the server and return it to the client, you can do that with plenty of full stack JS frameworks like Next.js, and as a bonus, it uses the same code to render it as it does on the frontend.
It's a zombie project as not many people use sass, let alone a heavy sass library.

bourbon.js it is?
I could ask the same question I guess, what do you get from HTMX that I can't get from Unpoly?.

I think you can achieve the same thing with both, but Unpoly is higher level, that means I have to write less attributes/code to achieve the same stuff I guess.

"Compilers" are also a nice way to attach custom code. All the helpers for form validations, the extremely easy way it provides to do modals, and layers in general. The navigation feedback (a'la turbolinks) when navigating across pages, the caching, the error handling. The up-keep for keeping a video player or anything else across pages transitions, and absolutely everything of this can be accessed from a JavaScript API in case you need to perform any of this from your own code and most of these APIs also trigger events.

Probably you can do all of this with HTMX too, but it is more work.
>Perhaps Mozilla has figured out that you can't corner the market if you focus on nerds with privacy concerns;

True, but "cornering the market" is such an outlandish goal at this point, they shouldn't be holding themselves to that standard. It's enough to capture a respectable 3rd place, rather than the sub-3% afterthought they are now.

And they originally got the respectable showing in the early days by being the "one your geek friend recommends", not by pretending they can out-market the big players with unlimited budgets.
AFAIK the rise in Alzheimer's was well correlated with the rise in life expectancy.
The pyramids at Giza are really, really old.

Cleopatra was part of the Macedonian/Greek dynasty in Egypt, which comes basically at the tail end of what one might consider "ancient Egypt". The time span we lump together as "ancient Egypt" (specifically, dynastic ancient Egypt—"pre-dynastic" stretches back many centuries before that) is so long that stuff from the first third or so of it is farther, time-wise, from Cleopatra than the moon landings were.

Wikipedia:

> All [the three big pyramids at Giza] were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between 2600 and 2500 BC.

Cleopatra is tied up with Julius Caesar and Antony (as in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra) and all that happens just before the BC/AD transition, and these numbers are large and fuzzy enough we can just call her time 0. ~2500 years after the pyramids, ~1970 before the moon landings. Plus or minus a few years, but it doesn't make much difference.

This is includes settings for removing or disabling all the integration with Mozilla services and their ads.
