Agreed. There are far more differences/changes between Chromium-based browsers than Firefox ones (which just remove Mozilla telemetry or provide a way to use old-style extensions). It really was a huge shame that they chose to base Edge on Chromium instead and I feel it points to clear issues in Firefox that prevent it from being the Linux of browsers.

I do wonder what's so wrong with FF that nobody wants to base their fork on it.
Would have never guessed that since the original comment didn't mention disposable income but only a statement about median income hiding gut wrenching poverty. Loudoun County has the 3rd highest average household disposable income and a low poverty rate, so again should be a great location for a mall but isn't. While some malls are succeeding, Tysons Corner Mall and Tysons Galleria in Northern Virginia for example, many more are struggling and many have already died. Some of this is due to the shrinking of their traditional tenants, national retail chains, but is also due to those same potential tenants choosing to relocate existing stores and open new stores in non-mall locations.
I’m running Jellyfin because I want to reduce my energy footprint. I’m happy to watch series on my iPad instead of a TV. I also don’t need my disk-based NAS turned on if I put content on an external SSD hooked up to a Raspberry Pi4 with Jellyfin.

I had an issue where my Mac or iPad could not stream anything in h265 (not 100% sure about the format) in the browser. The Raspberry Pi would start transcoding which it lacks the performance for.

Fortunately the Jellyfin iOS client works perfectly, I’m guessing it uses hardware acceleration of the iPad.

Here is what I found:

Minimal Documentation: https://milkv.io/docs/duo/getting-started/cv1800b
Datasheet: https://github.com/milkv-duo/hardware

Reading the datasheet, it looks like there is one C906 cpu with 700 Mhz without the the vector extension and one C906 cpu at 1Ghz with rvv 0.7.1. The C906 design has been opensourced and is available here: https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc906

The C906 supports rv64gc with optional rvv 0.7.1 with a vlen of 128, but a 256 wide ALU.

They list H.264/H.265 support, but I don't think it's a standardized extension.

But see my other comment about using the pre ratification vector extension: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36377439#36378911

If you're interested in US geopolitics, there's one paper that lays everything out in surprisingly plain language. It's Project for the New American Century's (PNAC) "Rebuilding America's Defenses." [1] It was published during the Bush era, but the political establishment is incestuous and perpetual. For instance Victoria Nuland, Undersecretary of State - just under Anthony Blinken, is the wife of the head of PNAC - Robert Kagan.

The sole and primary motivation for US geopolitical actions has been to maintain hegemony by preventing the emergence of a new geopolitical superpower. And while that paper lays out the motivation is plain and clear language, the same has certainly been true dating back to at least the Monroe Doctrine [2] in 1948, which basically asserted that the US would not allow the USSR to expand. We're not fighting against China or [insert latest enemy] because they want to rule the world, but because "we" do.

The one and only president that's really notably gone against this was JFK:

"We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient–that we are only six percent of the world’s population–that we cannot impose our will upon the other ninety-four percent of mankind–that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity–and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem." -JFK, 1961

It's difficult to imagine a US President ever saying such things, and that's in large part because none since him have.

Because Google retains tight control over Chromium and outsiders generally have no say in important decisions/changes. If Google kills support for one image format in favor of their own, that basically means every Chromium fork doesn't support that format.

That said, most modern browsers already are forks of Chromium. It'd be nice to have a third option that isn't just Google or Google-funded.

Sure. When you look at polling, most people believe the government should be doing "dirty" things like starting wars, spying on its own people or playing espionage/sabotage in foreign countries to protect the national interest and security. I.e.: whatever it takes to keep them, their jobs and their future safe and secure. This sentiment tends to transcend the rule of law itself in my opinion.

Look at the snowden leaks for example, a lot of surface level stuff has changed but the NSA is back at it and is exponentially worse because now they know very well what they can get away with. I have had several conversations about this with people old and young who believed NSA spying on them or the whole "my FBI guy watching me" meme is totally fine because they are scared of ISIS or China or just "bad guys" in general. Even those who don't like it usually tend to think it is unavoidable.

What I meant about college educated and urban, I guess I didn't want to say liberal because conservatives who distrust the government feel the same way too. But college education seems to be what drives the sentiment as well as living in an urban environment where seeing all kinds of people forces you to be less fearful of them and more fearful of a powerful government that can monitor and control what you do more easily due to how infrasrructure works in cities.

Put it differently, there is a reason police reform for example is hard outside of cities and cities with a lot of college educated people. People who look the other way when cops get dirty are plenty so long as they believe their "group" isn't the target/victim.
If there was a way to be sure it would stay only ever being viewed by that person, sure. For now, I think people shouldn't have the risk that it gets seen by others forced upon them.

It not about how smart future people will be, or how we can eliminate every danger possible for future man. It is that we even today we do not reference old documents to figure out what is safe and was is not.

As an example, humanity has documented ocean dangers for centuries. Everything from human created dangers like shipwrecks to natural occurring shallows and strong currents. Captains that want to avoid those dangers could read those, learning every language from ancient Greek to Latin to dutch, scouring the many archives that exist to figure out what is down below. No one does this (except for archeologists). Captains use modern maps, sonar and satellites, neither which require knowledge of ancient Greek.

Maps and their information about dangers are perishable with a fairly short lifespan. Making a map with the intention of it lasting hundred of thousands of years is an impossible task. Any danger, be that natural like cliffs or unnatural like mine shafts, can not be made into a map that will last hundred of thousands of years. Such maps will need to be maintained or rediscovered. Every single garbage dump, every industrial area, every zone or place where humans has done something to the environment will have to be maintained in updated maps for as long as those places remain dangerous to humans.
Yes, I think I can take advantage of my particular problem to parallelise, which I'm still trying to work out.

My neighbour scanning is dynamic and my neighbours and all neighbours from a node is independent from that point forwards, it shall not visit the exact same node. In essence my problem is kind of a tree.

I am trying to infer data flow between two states including hidden states such as functions calls. My dream is that I can provide a start state and end state and the computer writes itself based on type information and data flow analysis of values.

Here's my input data - which is what memory is set to and what registers are set to.

start_state = {
"memory": [0, 0, 0, 0],
"rax": 0,
"rbx": 1,
"rcx": 2,
"rdx": 3,
"rsp": -1,
"rdi": -1,
"rbp": -1
}

end_state = {
"memory": [3, 1, 2, -1],
"rax": 3,
"rbx": 2,
"rcx": 1,
"rdx": 0,
"rsp": 6,
"rdi": -1,
"rbp": -1
}

# these functions take in a value and return another value
minus_1_to_four = Function("minus1", -1, 4)
four_to_five = Function("fourtofive", 4, 5)
five_to_six = Function("fivetosix", 5, 6)

This synthesises the following program in 16 seconds (I improved the heuristic function). Function values input and output can be in any register, but in my example they are all in the same register. With 3 processes it synthesises in 0.6 seconds.

[start, mov %rax, (%rdx), mov %rbx, (%rbx), mov %rcx, (%rcx), mov %rdx, (%rsp), mov %rax, %rbp, mov %rdx, %rax, mov %rbp, %rdx, mov %rcx, %rbp, mov %rbx, %rcx, mov %rbp, %rbx, call minus1(rsp=-1) -> rsp=4, mov $-1, %rbp, call fourtofive(rsp=4) -> rsp=5, call fivetosix(rsp=5) -> rsp=6]
What they are doing has clear overlap with what we've seen in the demoscene. On a technical point of view, they generate all meshes and textures from formulas, using the same kinds of algorithms.

See for example some 64kB demos that have landscapes / nature:

- Paradise by Rgba, 2004 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=12821

- Gaia Machina by Approximate, 2012 (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=59107)

- Turtles all the way down by Brain Control, 2013 (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=61204)

Of course, it's not exactly the same, the demoscene tends to focus on a few carefully crafted scenes and do everything in real-time (with up to 30s of precalc), but I think there's a lot of similarity.
A lot of people have “white coat” syndrome

I mean, go to a different doctor if yours somehow doesn't know about it. Mine all have. They help account for it by sending folks home with a blood pressure machine hooked up, which you wear for 24 hours. It regularly measures blood pressure - every 15 mintues, IIRC, including at night. In the US, I had a doctor suggest I take it outside of the office regularly so that we could compare. I worked at a pharmacy, so just took it there.

"Pharma companies" aren't there to get on never-ending prescriptions: Curing things gets them fame too. Plus, the "big pharma wants you sick" conspiracies seriously leave out all of the pressure to not have folks on medications for life. Single payer health care plans, governments that administer them, private individuals, and for-profit health insurance companies all would rather not pay for it. I'm not pro big pharma, but I'm also too prudent to believe this.
Idea: Scientific headphone studies

Double-blind / blind headphone testing where price and manufacturer / model are not revealed. Possibly additional methods; multiple tests in a long timespan, multiple people testing, different locations (studio, sports etc.) and so on.

The reviewers are allowed to use any and all digital measuring tools in addition to listening by ear.

A rigorous version of this would integrate above in rtings.com headphone testing method.
Yes, Application Observability is a lot of the purpose of this.

Instrumentation will be richer, more accurate, low cost, and able to be of value throughout the application for the purposes of tracing and profiling.

What it will mean is that thing like https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go will be able to use this to better instrument Go applications, and when OTel includes profiling (as well as traces) then you'll be able to use Pyroscope, Polar Signals, etc for that in addition to Tempo (or whatever you use for tracing), as well as using something like Grafana and Datadog to view all of the above.

(I work for Grafana, but the above is relatively vendor neutral as yes we recently acquired Pyroscope and launched Grafana Cloud Profiles, and yes some of the people cited work for Grafana, but others are doing great work here too and it all benefits people who write and run applications using Go).
That's the wrong way to look at it. Try to step out of the cargo-cult for just a second. Shareholders buying an IPO is hyper-capitalism. You have a market of buyers and sellers, say, and some utility token. Maybe it's FileCoin for file storage on IPFS. Maybe it's ETH for gas on Ethereum. It's global and convenient to pay once you have it. Maybe it's Disney Dollars.

But then, you have on top of this "hyper-capitalism". Peter Thiel says "competition is for losers, build a monopoly", making many capitalists blush. Venture Capitalists prop up money-losing unit economics for years (they call it "reducing friction") and then dump the equity on the public. The public then pushes the team to extract rents from all sides from the marketplace forever. Who needs these shareholders? That's hyper-capitalism.

In fact, I would even go so far as to say that your utility token shouldn't be freely available to everyone. Only the actual participants should be buying it. Otherwise a hyper-capitalist whale like Goldman Sachs can pump and dump it, hurting people: https://foreignpolicy.com/2011/04/27/how-goldman-sachs-creat...

It might even be designed to undergo demurrage, so that if you don't use it, you gradually lose it. This was done in Worgl and defied the depression all around it, even the Mises institute had to gradully agree it worked: https://mises.org/library/free-money-miracle

> continuous hardware testing

I have a non-thinkpad laptop, and it seems nearly every kernel release there is some regression. Touchpad not working.. Then GPU driver not working... Then suspend to disk broken... Regressions that, for a regular non-technical user would be a big headache.

I would like to 'lend' hardware to someone to prevent this. I'd happily leave my laptop/desktop/SBC overnight compiling a kernel, rebooting into it, running tests, and hopefully finding regressions before they get into a release.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any project to make this easy. I'd like to just "apt install volunteer-my-hardware-for-overnight-testing". A few thousand people doing that would soon find issues that only affect rare hardware.

DACs? Beyond a very very cheap entry point they make no difference. Anyone telling you that DAC A is warmer sounding than DAC B is almost certainly a cork sniffer.

Amps, however, obviously have an impact on the sound delivered — especially for high impedance headphones, or those that are otherwise difficult to drive (think some planar magnetically, etc). Again, though, anyone who thinks that relatively powerful amp A is significantly different to equivalently powerful amp B is almost certainly more interested in impressing other people with too much money than how kit actually sounds.
Supposedly, our left and right ears aren't even equal at birth...each having different pathways to the brain. Then, of course, unequal damage over time. Makes me wonder how much tediously matched drivers matter.
I've taken a very naive approach and it does NOT scale. It uses python multiprocessing. I think the fScore updates pickling and serialization - communication and synchronization lock overhead is slowing it down. It simply does not parallelise.

This is my code generator/program synthesiser, it synthesises assembly instructions from two given states of memory and registers to take it from one to the other, including hidden states such as functions.
