The Arc Browser Company raised $18M so far (via Crunchbase[1]).

It has been a while when I got the Arc Browser but I could not get myself to get used to the excessive feature. I personally am unable to figure out what to think about it. A younger me would have loved this browser but now, I'm (very personal) more of sticking to the basics/native and spend extra time learning the tips/tricks and the internals to be able to use a tool/system more effectively.

Cory Doctorow's keynote from 28C3 is prescient - "The coming war on general computation" [1]

Skepticism has been largely hijacked by those with an anti-democratic or downright reactionary agenda.

A generation raised on “contrarian” and “anti-conformist” YouTube influencers is skeptical of democratic power and international institutions, but willing to give a free pass to billionaires and any other kind of power that operates via ruthlessly deployed private property. Worldcoin fits this mold and so it will find fans.
Doesn't every TPM use a unique key to prevent this exact thing happening? If you do rip the key off of it and publish it, they'd just blacklist that particular key as "compromised".
I was going to come here and say exactly this at the risk of being flamed. Love seeing this at the top
Show HN: Vaul – An unstyled drawer primitive for React
LOL, was literally going to try entering it on the new MS terminal, and realizing I don't have a windows system readily available to use. Why don't other OSes support ALT+(numpadcode) input for special characters? No idea how to do this on mac or linux.

Anyone else want to try to copy/paste into the new Windows Terminal? It does appear to work fine on MacOS under Tabby (terminal).
> the roads are in miles/yards

They actually aren't. They're all measured in metric, then roughly translated to imperial for the signs.
That's a great yet narrow request, which is great for POPL and less for PLDI. As a reference, I believe starcoder does worse than GPT4 and has taken time to publish results on program synthesis that subsumes regex. The flashfill team has academic PL roots and would also be good to compare to, as I mentioned.

With prompt engineering being so easy, and naive search/refinement over them so easy too, not comparing via benchmarks, vs brush-off related work section, to these general solvers seems strange.
I haven't downvoted, but origins is off-topic from this thread, so the downvotes it appears you're in the course of receiving will only serve to stigmatize that topic in the HN commentariat context. If you're looking for leads into

AMD ‘Zenbleed’ exploit can leak passwords and encryption keys from Ryzen CPUs
> If attestation isn't triggered then prior behaviour will happen

That’s up to the web server to decide, it could just block you instead, and there is incentive to do exactly that.

> attestation isn't to prove you're using an approved device

That’s what it is doing though, so it can and will be used for that.

What did he mean by this?
And here I am thinking the Toyota app for my new minivan was asking for too much. I hate the direction tech is going.
I'm pretty sure that Aurora DB can be called a "Cloud-native application" but its startup time is not fast and memory footprint is not small.
Retrieval Augmented Generation
I dunno, that was pretty well written for a company values thing. Not sure about the browser, but the people behind it seem nice and earnest.
> One of the most frustrating things in all the WFH vs RTO discourse is that there is this false dichotomy being presented. It's either extroverted people who are energized by others, or introverts who'd rather be in the dark closet by themselves.

Perfectly stated. I can be quite outgoing when I want to be, and in many of my previous jobs I enjoyed many of my colleagues, but now I can devote my energy to the relationships I value most.

I have four kids, time is undoubtedly my most valuable commodity. I don't think I'd be able to foster as many friendships if I was working in an office. I'm sure I'd have friendships with a few colleagues, but WFH enables me to devote myself to friendships as I see fit.
Eleventy and CloudCannon Partnership Announced
If I wanted to keep using Arc but found this feature critical, I would make a Space with a single pinned folder that I put all the bookmarks under. Not super ergonomic, but just suggesting an idea to a fellow user.
“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon
Additionally, mathematics and scientific evidence are no match for the influence of power. The tendency of capital accumulation under capitalism is exceedingly straightforward, but the life of one trying to find peace with that reality is too painful to bear.
It is obviously way better. It’s for people who think that, anyway.

Over time maybe there will be less of a use case as other browsers copy the UI and features.
Ok fair, but I’m pretty sure that it was posted after the one I replied to.
I hate how websites hinder VPN users. Google Search often shows me captchas on Mullvad, and sometimes blocks my request entirely (no captcha). Screw them.

I don't see the issue here at all. Apple added this because otherwise the web would be completely broken in iCloud Private Relay due to the constant catchas and hardwalls. Google wants to add it to kill adblockers entirely. It's not even the same ballpark.
This is a technique that's been known for years and is in PyTorch. It's not widely used because people tried it and, in practice, it doesn't work as well.

OP calling it a "bug that's been overlooked for 8+ years" is click bait.
Ask HN: Anybody running a maxed out MacBook Air with 24GB RAM as a dev machine?
If so, how is it? What limits are you hitting with the RAM?
I've made some of my best friends through a shared affinity for metal — I even taught myself to code in part working on web stuff for Cynic and Augury. Doug's projects are all rad.
Like one of the commenters in that thread said, this sounds like they were using the noidex feature to use the IA as a personal private backup, and thus abusing it, and ruined it for everyone else. The IA is great as a personal public backup. (For example, I've deliberately submitted copies of certain OSS projects I've worked on to the Wayback Machine.)
Some companies have come up with Pay zone bands where the metropolitan area decides the pay band. Sounds like a fair deal.
Budget is anywhere from $0-$700 (or so), and I would like to avoid anything with facebook.
Within an hour of the Log4shell bug becoming public, I was able to inform our team and figure out how it impacted us. Yes we do have subscriptions to alerts from security services whose job it is to track this kind of thing but feeling like I can keep on top of the most critical security issues along with them feels quite valuable.
I don't like the climate cult stuff, but good idea to use it as a bludgeon against a greater enemy (boomers and CRE landlords)
They haven't "eliminated" support for other platforms. They are actively working on them.

It seems they wanted to get an MVP out and chose MacOS first. It might be annoying for Windows/Linux users but there's nothing wrong with the approach.
I enjoy working remotely. It allows me to live somewhere with a reasonable cost of living, and gives me an extra two hours back of my day. It also allows me to take the trash out if I forget and hear the truck, or throw a load of clothes in the laundry.

I wouldn't mind working in a office again, but my stipulations would be a pay increase to account for having to live closer to work, and having to pay people to clean up the house a couple times a week
Mostly agree with the other posters here. To add my own anecdotal piece, I had a majority of the 12 symptoms[1][2] defined as long covid. Got covid immediately in Northern Thailand, Dec 2019. Over the next 24 months I went from a healthy (perhaps hyper fit) 40-something male to someone who could barely drag himself to the gym, struggled to complete workouts, went through bouts of mental fog, heart arrythmias, chronic exhaustion, etc. Power outputs were down ~20% on pre- vs. post-covid tracked workouts. Doctors were unsympathetic, prescribed vitamin D for lack of sunlight.

But it's impossible to know if "long covid" is causal vs. ancillary. I'm also 3 years older now, and who knows, maybe that's just part of life and the aging process. I'll say that what helped me the most was just consistently getting out of the house and getting exercise. I started small but it had its own compounding effects. I'm up to about 4 - 5 times per week now. Whether that's walking, running, lifting, or a even a Murph, every bit of exercise seems to have helped me down the (long) road to recovery.

I'll probably never be back to my old fitness level, but things are at least better now. Long covid is as undefinable as it is real, but it can be beat imho. ymmv of course.
Good luck to all who are struggling with this.

The US militia that everyone talks about in relation to the 2nd amendment weren't meant to protect the US from Canada. It was in response to a feared slave uprising from within.
Are you equating any questioning of OoL dogma with creationism? That's not how science works, buddy.
"Proof of Personhood" is indeed a critical component of internet infrastructure. In Belgium we have an app for that called "Itsme" and it is becoming more and more the go-to single-sign-on tool. Instead of scanning your iris it asks your bank or government to confirm your identity when you set-up your account. I believe the EU commission is working towards standardising those protocols so apps like Itsme will work EU wide, maybe even worldwide.

As for privacy I don't see a big problem as for most online services I don't want to actually be anonymous towards the service provider, just towards the general web, and the online services should respect that according to the GDPR
I pointed you to the wikipedia page of the book for a reason. The fact that you failed to note that the study you quote has itself been debunked/criticized by later studies leads me to question your knowledge of the whole topic.

Read the section on Reassessing Morton's skull measurements and follow the links as needed.

Finally, you might also want to checkout the following;

1) Triarchic theory of Intelligence - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triarchic_theory_of_intelligen...

2) Theory of multiple Intelligences - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligenc...
This is a strawman. First, the AI detection algorithms can't offer anything close to 99.9%. Second, your scenario doesn't analyze another human and issue judgement, as the AI detection algorithms do.

When a human is miscategorized as a bot, they could find themselves in front of academic fraud boards, skipped over by recruiters, placed in the spam folder, etc.
I upvoted you to help balance a bit. But I think you're being downvoted because that isn't what's being discussed here. The title and article are specifically about HN.
> HTML isn't parseable with regex.

Poster is not asking for this. He is asking how to parse a specific subset of HTML. And it is demonstrably parseable.

> The correct answer to the question: "How do I use a hammer to tighten a screw" isn't a lengthy description of how to perform some magic with a hammer. The correct answer is: "You don't. Use a screwdriver."

It is not the appropriate way to tighten a screw, but there likely is a correct way to do it with a hammer.

It is fine to point out that there are better ways to parse that HTML, but it is not wrong to do it with regexes.

Sorry to be blunt, but having coworkers like you make the job really annoying. I'm not a newbie, but a seasoned programmer. If I'm asking a question and am in a domain with a fair amount of experience, don't give me patronizing answers.
I just started using Arc yesterday and they have such a video. Maybe added since you last tried it.
This is an unreasonable standard. Outside of trivial situations, there are no infallible tools.
Did you build it, or did researchers at OpenAI build it?
I just wish the split tabs would work horizontal and vertical at the same time (for one of my large monitors).
Looking into Lemmy. Signed up on a few instances. It's not exactly a Reddit Killer App but it works for now. Not that much engagement on my posts since people are only testing the waters with it.
The AI tool doesn't give accurate results. You don't know when it's not accurate. There is no accurate way to check its results. Who should use a tool to help them make a decision when you don't know when the tool will be wrong and it has a low rate of accuracy? It's in the article.
The fact that mRNA based interventions have never before been deployed and as an individual it’s sensible to be cautious about using them until there is long term safety data?
I cannot comprehend a position of total long COVID denial, though I have encountered it online. Every virus you can think of that causes acute illness, can cause long term or even permanent damage. Sometimes rarely, sometimes often. Even the mildest common cold viruses, can, in very rare cases, be severe enough to cause pneumonia which causes scarring which leads to permanent loss of lung function. Hepatitis A is usually cleared without issue but sometimes significant liver scarring happens. The poxes can be cleared by the immune system but often immense scarring of the affected tissues happens. Viral meningitis...

For COVID to cause severe illness in a few % -- enough to kill in rare cases -- but to not cause permanent lung or heart or kidney damage etc. in some significant percent who got very sick is implausible, even incoherent with all other theories about how viral diseases cause disease.
It's a very nicely-done blog, having looked at some of the other articles in more detail. But I wish I'd stuck to the technical entries and steered clear of the political ones. "Who doesn't go Nazi?" turns a pleasant rabbit hole into an intellectual Superfund site.
Operating vehicles on psychedelics seems like a far worse idea than the other two as well. But comparing them to alcohol would probably have alcohol coming up far more dangerous in every category.
> This isn't enriched uranium, it can't be restricted to the few approved.

You say this in jest but encryption was export-controlled under ITAR in my lifetime. With the persistent government attacks on encryption increasing in frequency around the world, I wouldn't be surprised if we see more attempts at containing it in ways not unlike the control of enriched uranium.
> and there's a reason why SF has famously terrible urban design.

... which is?
HN is a spark plug that caused various forward motions and explosions in my life.

I learned about open source and Linux; in time that went from a new hobby to a change of direction in my career.

I learned about startups, and figured I should try since I'm also a genius who can build a great product. It took quite a bit of money and time lost to convince me otherwise.

I found out about the online CS Masters program at Georgia Tech and did that a few years ago, this led to moving countries and getting a job doing AI.
"I don't." Gotta make sure we know how cool and trend-bucking you are in a thread asking those who do use them. It's like going into a Mac thread and letting us know you don't use Apple stuff. That super neato for you, but it's not particularly helpful.
The Big Bang is indisputable, in the sense that there's no other model that can generate the CMBR except having the universe in the past be very dense and hot.
Have you ever used the rocket core generator?

There's a reason people pay for ARM tools. There's a reason people pay SiFive and StarFive to use the rocket core generator for them. (heck, there's a reason I still use WDC65C02's in new designs.)

While I'm generally a fan of open source software, open source hardware is a different beast. The cost of copying an open source hardware design is noticeably higher than the cost of copying open source software.

You always pay for what you get. If you're lucky, you pay in cash.
Is it possible that he really thinks he's solving a problem?

Yes. The problem he is solving is identity verification. KYC for the web.

The "crypto-bullshit" is how you convince people to participate. Never underestimate the stupidity of the lower 40% of the population.

The question in my mind is --- will 40% of the population be enough to get the ball rolling? Will it be viable if 60% of the population still can't be verified?
I do some programming, but I am an academic working outside academia, rather than a programmer. I love keeping up to date on the tech world here, and I have learned many important things that have helped me over the years. But what really keeps me here is something else. It doesn't always prove to be true, but the site is generally a calmer, more educated conversation than what I find on other sites. I don't have as much interaction with other educated people as I would like in my daily life, so these interactions, even if on subjects that are not my core interests, are quite valuable to me.
This is a 'reasonable response' to the current AI wave by people that subscribe to the Effective Altruism/LessWrong/AI-Doomer mythos.

If AGI is created and then removes the need for any human to work, UBI (or the like) would be essential. You'd want to avoid abuse, so you also need to uniquely verify each person receiving it. I don't think the people involved in this are ignorant to the concerns, they just see it as inevitable based on their ideas about the future.

> The orb was necessary, the website continued, because of Worldcoin’s commitment to fairness: each person should get his or her allotted share of the digital currency—and no more. To ensure there was no double-dipping, the chrome orb would scan participants’ irises and several other biometric data points and then, using a proprietary algorithm that the company was still developing, cryptographically confirm that they were human and unique in Worldcoin’s database.

> “I’ve been very interested in things like universal basic income and what’s going to happen to global wealth redistribution,” Sam Altman, Worldcoin’s cofounder and the former President of Silicon Valley accelerator Y Combinator, told Bloomberg, which first reported on the company last summer. Worldcoin was intended, he explained, to answer the question “Is there a way we can use technology to do that at a global scale?”

A common response from Altman when asked about the benefits of AGI is "I think eliminating poverty is good". This is what he's talking about.

Of course, this redistribution doesn't apply to him, early employees, or investors:

> Others took issue with the company’s purported focus on fairness given that 20% of the coins had already been allocated: 10% to Worldcoin’s full-time employees, and another 10% to investors, like Andreessen Horowitz.

How is Vitalik a "snake oil peddler"?
There are two kinds of runtime: training and inference. ONNX runtime as far as I know is only for inference, which is open for all.
I’ve long been watching ‘physics girl’ on YouTube and what’s happened to her with long Covid is awful. When you hear those stories, you can’t help but think of all those affected.
I think it's interesting to consider that Alpha was in some of the fastest supercomputers in the world around the time it was cancelled. Somehow, some people still believe that it was cancelled for technical reasons, and that the reasons weren't related to Intel wanting to push Itanic as hard as they could.

I still run a dual 1 GHz AlphaServer DS25 in colo. Its performance is excellent, particularly when one considers that it's more than twenty years old. The build quality is better than any x86 server one can get today - the traces have a three dimensional look to them, the cables from the power supply look like they'd be good for attaching a starter to a car battery, expansion is incredible, and, of course, like all good servers, it has a whole machine system management that's 100% controllable over serial, as it should be.

Performance wise, it's faster at most things than a dual 1.5 GHz Sun Fire V245 which is several years newer with PCIe, DDR2 memory and so on. It's an impressive processor architecture, and I keep hoping someone brings it back to life in FPGA or via, perhaps, via something like the Chinese Sunway architecture.
It's only a pro-privacy move if you completely trust Apple (the mandatory 3rd party approver) both now and in the future to be pro-privacy. The minute their growth slows and the shareholders demand changes, the pro-privacy can go out the window, and they've got the advertisers wet dream ready and waiting, reserved exclusively for them. Corporations are profit-seeking entities by design, and leadership who doesn't act in the best interest of the shareholders (i.e. profit seekers) will be removed and replaced by leadership who does.

We already produce natural oils for our skin (sebum), and those oils accumulate skin cells, dirt and dust, sweat, etc. It was common for Romans to use bathhouses, where they would coat themselves with olive oil, sometimes with an abrasive like pumice or fine sand, then use a strigil to remove the oil, and everything that had accumulated on the skin, before soaking/rinsing in the bath. This is enough to get you "not greasy" and they likely had a different concept of what "clean skin" should feel like, given that before soap, your bodies natural oils would be fairly ever-present.

Just learn to present an argument and don’t downplay other people.

You clearly don’t realize that during this entire conversation, you are the one attacking me rather than focusing on the problem as I have done.

You see, you think it’s not that deep, but you don’t seem to grasp that what I presented isn’t all that deep to begin with.

What is so deep about people’s attention spans declining in the context of what I said?

Riight… it has something to do with me using drugs. Sorry.
