At a high level:

Progressive - a person advocating or implementing social reform or new, liberal ideas

Conservative - a person who is averse to change and holds traditional values

And now if we drill in, we get a problem.

Traditional values - long-standing beliefs, customs, and practices passed down through generations within a particular culture or society, often reflecting moral, ethical, or religious principles

Problem number 1, different conservative hold different set of traditional values. To be conservative kind of requires some level of social hegemony, where everyone holds the same traditional values.

Liberal -

1. a supporter of policies that promote social welfare.

2. a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Problem number 2, there are now two definition of liberal ideas. One are geared towars social welfare. The other towards democracy and individual liberty.

This makes it that, all conversation that stays high level, and talks about clusters as conservatives and progressives, to me, is misconstrued, and confusing, because the subject could dramatically be different. Are we discussing Judeo-Christian values, gender roles, etc. ? Are we discussing the need for social welfare, the importance of democracy, the value of individual rights?

It all gets conflated in a way that simply divides people based on labels, not substance.
Not so fast, it’s easy to start but you really need to invest in a long term plan to hire their poorly behaving friends from past jobs too. They’ll never let you forget that they are all high performers, how bad everyone else that works there is, and how lucky you are to have them save you from yourself.
I never understand why folks who have bad individual experiences end up extrapolating that experience to represent an entire area (field, subject, industry etc.).

Or to put it another way, I understand the impulse, buy why not self reflect a bit to figure out if that impulse has merit (it doesn't)?

Surely the fact that, overall, we do make meaningful and real scientific progress over time (we may now have room temperature superconductors!) shows there is more value in the academic process than there is problem, though obviously the problems are substantial and create significant limitations.

> That was never guaranteed

Branching off into a philosophical thought here, but I find this to be completely wrong. It was always guaranteed; logic, like physics and chemistry is not an environment that changes.

We have discovered a functioning technique which might be improved upon. What wasn’t guaranteed was that it would be found.

Biology is the root of most, perhaps all, uncertainty. After all, it is our biology that makes us imperfect observers, thinkers, and makers(but also enables us to do those things at all!).

I think this is important, because their is a significant difference in mindset between making something, and looking for something. Science is looking, technology is making. Things are always “seen” before they are “made”.
I've had similar thoughts. I've been sketching out a design where you can tag data with a location (a restaurant menu, say, which is only needed near the restaurant). Suppose the data is being gossiped between mobile devices. Some process which understands the user's past (and estimated future) movements can decide when the data can be forgotten.

Plus--as I imagine it--users would be able to trust each other in certain domains, so which fragments your device hangs on to is going to depend on who you trust and what you're interested in.

Hopefully, these combined would mean that whatever part of the web is relevant to your location is also the part of it that's already cached on your device or on a nearby one.
If I had my druthers, String would be an interface with UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 (and UTF-7 on April Fool's Day) implementation classes. Then add Byte1, Byte2, and Byte4 as _unsigned_ primitives. Maybe have a wrapper class CodePoint to allow abstracting over all of them.

Gnome developers really like automoving stuff on the screen, like activities animations. Instead I could kill a window that does not stay put were I placed it. Who does it thinks it is to know better than me how my desktop must look like?

Anyway, until there is a way to work as I want to, no problem with them enjoying their time. Reconfiguring the desktop to look like Gnome 2 is a tax I pay to have them keeping it compatible with the other components of the system.

Adventure Land: Let JavaScript do the grinding
Wood decays when there is sufficient air and moisture. Wood used for construction is dried before being used, and unless there's a leak / excessive humidity, should be able to last a very long time without substantive decay. Wood in stuff like furniture is also often sealed with a specific wax/oil layer to keep out moisture, further preventing rot.

Theoretically it will decompose someday, but at the point where we have significantly less buildings I assume either other bad things have made this less of a concern, or we'll be advanced enough to recapture that carbon in other ways.

...but yes, if you're willing to "waste" the resources, just thoroughly burying wood away from air should also work.

This seems like a really shallow analysis, and the examples are just popular cliches rather than realistic human experiences.

It also does not ring true with my personal experiences or observations. I grew up with progressive politics but in a rural area, and when I came to live in urban areas where these ideas dominated, I was disappointed to observe that they just don’t seem to work as well at solving real world problems as I had imagined they would.
That's ludicrous. The start of CD sales decline was after a decade and a half of massive CD sales. The market for new CDs was saturated.

You assertion (and that of record companies) conveniently ignores the fact that through the 90s long out of print albums were re-released on CD. For a great many artists it was the first time their work had been in print in decades. So CD sales in the 90s had an enormous boost of nostalgia sales.

Furthermore sales of new music through the 90s was further buoyed by new genres. Hip hop exploded was a footnote in the 80s and exploded in the 90s. Pop country (Garth Brooks etc) also exploded in popularity.

Every Boomer that wanted a copy of Sgt Pepper owned a copy. If they bought their top dozen albums or some compilations with chart toppers they were basically set for music. When they bought iPods they took that collection of CDs and loaded them onto their iPods.

The volume of music piracy was nothing compared to the size of the Boomer economic bloc.

The piracy assertion also hilariously ignores the changes in media. In the 90s most music buyers in the US didn't have an option to buy singles. Most acts no longer released singles. So a buyer wanting one or two songs had to pay $15+ for a whole album of filler. Much to the glee of record executives.

With the iTunes Music Store debut in 2003 buyers could suddenly buy just the one or two songs they liked for a dollar each. They might ultimately spend $15 but they got 15 songs they actually wanted. They also of course had their existing CD collection to source music from. This again led to saturation, most people don't buy tens of thousands of songs. If you have about 300 pop songs (~4min) you've got a playlist that can play all day without repeating.

After 1999 CD sales started to decline once the nostalgia market got saturated and dropped even more once buyers could buy only the tracks they actually wanted. Most bands are lucky to produce an album worth of good songs over a half dozen separate album releases. The sales left after the nostalgia market dropped off was largely just new music sales.
Diffusion is relatively compute intensive compared to transformers llms, and (in current implementation) doesn't quantize as well.

A 70B parameter model would be very slow and vram hungry, hence very expensive to run.

Also, image generation is more reliant on tooling surrounding the models than pure text prompting. I dont think even a 300B model would get things quite right through text prompting alone.
Will it attest that it's running an extension? I can intercept and modify web requests, redirect web requests, and send web requests to other domains through a web extension. I can also scrape the HTML and I can use native messaging or normal HTTP requests to send that information out of the browser. And I can also modify CORS headers to get rid of restrictions around sending requests from another domain.

I can't literally emulate mouse movements but the only place that matters is... captchas. If you're not watching for those kinds of behaviors, then a browser even without webdriver can be automated just fine. And if you are watching for those behaviors, then you're running a captcha, so what is WEI helping with?

Google claims this is not going to impact browser extensions, debugging, etc... but if it's not going to impact that stuff, then it's not really helpful for guaranteeing that the user isn't automating requests. What it is helpful for is reducing user freedom around their OS/hardware and setting the stage for attacking extensions like adblockers more directly in the future.
> So now container decoders have been magically vetted and secured so they don’t need the sandbox.

Not "magically". But you only need one or two, and they don't need to be very fast, so you can put a lot of effort into making them secure.

But more importantly, browsers already have many container decoders. This is not an expansion in attack surface. The goal here is allowing a lot more codecs compared to current browsers without a significant increase in attack surface compared to current browsers. Pointing out flaws that already exist doesn't disqualify the idea.

> So why don’t you just provide a few real world examples? Your probably not the first to think of these ideas, there has to be a reason why it hasn’t been done yet.

Image decoders in webassembly already exist. Did you even look? Including JXL!

Video decoding needs more support structure in the browser, and I already said some decoders need things that are being added to webassembly but aren't done yet. Even then, the first google result for "av1 webassembly" is a working decoder from five years ago.

In my 40s and my job interviews were very easy the last couple of times I've switched jobs, because my battle scars are extremely valuable to companies.

The only time I've felt awkward about the age difference was an interview with 19-year-old startup founders who had retained an executive search firm for a VP Eng. We did not click at all, but in truth I don't actually know if that was the age gap or just an energy mismatch between us (they were pretty quiet).
> Remember when Apple killed Flash? I heard it was because they wanted people to use their app store more instead of us playing games in the browser, so they could make more money

The original iPhone which killed flash didn’t even ship with the App Store. They assumed we’d only be using web apps.

It’s in the original Steve Jobs presentation when he announced the iPhone.
I'm not sure any of that refutes the scenario I laid out. Google denying adsense payments is exactly what I said would happen. It would then be up to the site as to whether or not they would continue to allow traffic from users who they aren't getting ad revenue from. I've been at companies who have had this exact debate about how to handle users with ad blockers.

I completely agree about the spec's vagueness about what makes a client trusted, and that attesters can choose arbitrary criteria, and will likely favor things that make the walls on their gardens higher.

I hope you're not misunderstanding my position, I think WEI is bad for users and I'm hoping that alternative browser vendors like Vivaldi take a stand to not implement it.
"They described the strange feeling of peace that came over them when they handled the Book of Science, the pleasure that it was to repeat certain statistics out of it, however little meaning those statistics conveyed to the outward ear, the ecstasy of touching an instrument, however unimportant, or of hearing new Scientific revelation, however superflous.

"The Science," they exclaimed, "feeds us and protects us and elevates us; with it we speak to one another, with it we teach one another, in it is the totality of being. The Science is the friend of rationality and the enemy of superstition: the Science is omniscient, unquestioned; blessed is the Science." And before long this allocution was printed on the first page of the Book, and in subsequent editions the ritual swelled into a complicated system of praise and prayer."

That's fascinating, thank you for the response.

I find programming user interfaces in SwiftUI to be an absolute joy, and if there were proper bindings to GTK and WinUI then it would be my go-to GUI framework for time immemorial.

The SwiftWinRT project looks interesting -- unfortunately, it seems to be abandoned (last commit was ~1 year ago).

Here's hoping they succeed. If they do, it could totally displace Qt as the standard cross-platform GUI framework (caveat - not for all use cases, of course).

Why would Google not monetize unattested traffic?
I mean that's like Google blocking it's own ads from being shown.

The problem is that you generally can't support yourself by just selling to existing customers; you need to keep selling to new customers.

And the market keeps evolving, so you need to evolve with the market if you want to continue selling.

If you do it slowly enough, and cautiously, then existing customers can adapt.

But if you stop updating your app, it's eventually going to lose its appeal and will be forgotten.

When I was a kid my mom stocked Minute Maid frozen orange juice and powdered vitamin c. When I was sick I would stay home (maybe 11 or 12, different times) and watch TV and drink orange juice. I would fall into a pattern of drinking a 10-12 oz glass of juice during a show segment (maybe 7 minutes) and during the commercial break I’d go pee and refill my juice. On the half hour break i’d make another pitcher. So that works out to something like 3 quarts of heavily-vitamin-c-dosed orange juice per hour for at least several hours out of the day. I have no idea how my kidneys kept up with that.

I don’t work in crypto but I read a ton of tech blogs and this guy:

https://cmichel.io/

Seems legit and claims to have made one million in 14 months in bug bounties, although he was #1 on some leaderboard. Based on his blog I think he’s probably one of the best in the world at smart contract security so it’s probably not a realistic goal for most people , but assuming the blogger is honest I think you underestimate the potential for top white hats. Certainly the big black hat hacks are far bigger money but a million is nothing to sneeze at especially for no legal or moral risk.
I do wonder if people have any experience around doing root cause analysis that doesn't just end up in blame games? I've worked for three companies in a row that claim to have blame-free cultures, and all of them did put work into it (structuring the documents to not assign an individual's name to any given misstep and telling people to be kind and understanding). But in every case, you can feel it in the air that everyone still understands that the RCA is a blame document/process and that management is keeping track of the individuals at fault and it still matters on their end of year eval.

With the industry wide layoffs this feeling has only gotten worse now that there is a decent chance that accepting blame (or your manager deciding the blame is on you) will be the difference between having a job or not in 6 months.

Maybe this is unavoidable given that these processes only kick in when something goes wrong, and you can only screw up at your job so much until you get shown the door?

You said the web stopped be open when EME was accepted.

But as you just noted there is no conceptual difference between EME and the proprietary plugins that it replaced (Flash based and Silverlight based video players).

So how does replacing something with something else that is conceptually not different change that status of the web from open to not open?

This idea seems so simple that I'm pretty sure at least three people have independently thought of the same idea when reading about branch delay slots. I suspect some of the more strict aspects of basic block enforcement would also at least frustrate some ROP attacks.

I'm in the PDX area and am well aware of the problem.

I agree on the involuntary institutionalization (both on the need and the fact that current treatment plans aren't working). When we talk about addicts in the area, we're pretty much talking about the homeless population.

I've yet to see any census of sorts, but I'd wager that a significant portion of the homeless population is mentally ill. That also need to be revisited in the context of involuntary institutionalization.

As far as opioids and meth go, making them illegal has been an abject failure. Let the addicts have their drugs (a la methadone clinics) but minimize the the dangers as well as the organized crime that thrives on their criminality.

You're close, but meaningfully off (unsurprisingly).

I have categorized you as someone who has a substantially inflated sense of their capabilities, but when faced with any kind of challenge to that belief they wilt magnificently, usually in the form of, "That's just your opinion."

You discount the concept of bias as inapplicable to you for some reason, which more or less renders you incapable of meaningful critical analysis, yet you falsely think whatever remaining machinations you're capable of are useful.

You're trying to fly without any wings, declaring that you falling on your ass counts, and then refusing to even acknowledge the existence of gravity when its pointed out to you.
