Yes this exists, symantec web isolation basically a proxy that injects a little js on the client, instead of proxying http traffic it opens a vnc viewer in your browser, the proxy renders the site you requested in a per session container inside the proxy cluster and your browser displays the output and sends your interaction with the site to the container. some mostly asian financial regulators mandate this happens for all endpoint devices, mobile, thin client, desktop whatever if a human is on the end it must be "web isolated".

The word itself, Mesopotamia, means the land between rivers. It is where the wheel was invented, irrigation flourished and the earliest known system of writing emerged. The rivers here, some scholars say, fed the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon and converged at the place described in the Bible as the Garden of Eden.

Now, so little water remains in some villages near the Euphrates River that families are dismantling their homes, brick by brick, piling them into pickup trucks — window frames, doors and all — and driving away.

Edge made a lot more sense when it had its own rendering engine instead of being yet another Chromium paint-job. The EdgeHTML engine was actually doing a good job of catching up with everything before Microsoft made the switch, too.

The growing Chrome/Blink monoculture is one of the biggest threats to the web right now in a way worse than IE6 ever was, and by switching to Chromium from EdgeHTML, Microsoft only made the problem worse.

A subtle distinction is who is allowed to participate in a prediction market.

"Everyone with $1" is a terrible answer, and produces the bad results people are pointing to.

Financial markets avoid this because of their scale, where there's enough smart money to (usually) punish stupid money.

Absent that scale, it's just stupid money muddling the decisions of smart money.

Prediction markets with a knowledge barrier to entry would produce better results.
Same here. Finally, Sonoma will have a mouse acceleration disable setting. This should be good for battery life as tools like LinearMouse all report somewhat significant CPU usage while moving the pointer.

What stops that being textbook insider trading?
Fraud against paying customers, if they can demonstrate they wouldn't have paid if the company didn't lie. Also competitors if they can demonstrate they lost business due to the lie.
The transformer figures out that wants and cash are both verbs (both words can also be nouns). We’ve represented this added context as red text in parentheses, but in reality, the model would store it by modifying the word vectors in ways that are difficult for humans to interpret. These new vectors, known as a hidden state, are passed to the next transformer in the stack.

This isn't really true, it's like when we say that initial layers in CNNs detect big features, it's an oversimplification that gives the wrong impression. I understand the objective of trying to explain a technical subject to a nontechnical audience but I don't think it works at this deep a level.

I'm gonna come back to TIS-100 sometime after I beat Elden Ring (Autumn, perhaps, when it's not so sunny and nice outside), will do something different (Ghostrunner or Neon White, something first-person but different) and will then toss a coin between Opus Magnum and Shenzhen. Or at least that's the current plan, I'm sure someone else will send me a link to something fun-looking, and I'll get distracted and try that instead :D

They really found a wonderful niche in building these kinds of games, and seem to execute them really well.

I see many comments by HNers that some developers feel entitled to information simply to make their application development easier or more MBA business plan friendly. I see them siting business reasons as the higher ideal that must be served.

So there are at least 2 positions I have seen that are anti privacy.

2.the data is needed for business reasons
Reminds me of a Show HN some time ago of a website where you can fly around a chromium window in 3d, the chromium window was a complete chromium browser except it was locked down, basically you could "only" browse the web inside of it and it was supposed to be a multiplayer thing like watchtogether except you share a chromium window, which is hosted somewhere else.

> No, almost all parts of society require identification

Do you have a source on that? I can think of FAR more parts of society that don't require identification than parts that do. It feels impossible that "almost all parts of society require identification" in a world of infinite possibilities.

I put some pants on 10 minutes ago without identifying myself. Then I left my house without telling anyone. Then I walked down the street and never had to identify myself. The mall I visited didn't require ID. Finally, the McDonalds I went to accepted cash and I didn't have to prove who I am.
In that case, they should probably not use the system while trying to stay anon. The system will not work in their favor, and Facebook is definitely part of that system.
You're not really answering why they are important?

Is it because .deb packages will install inside dist-packages and when you run pip install as root without a virtual env, it installs inside site-packages?

I don't really see how this helps though? Sure you won't get paths to clash between the two but you still have duplicate packages which is probably not what you want..
Is what you're describing only true of the "Framework" Python build on MacOS? It sounds like that's the case from a quick read of the issue you linked. I would say that people should basically never use the "Framework" Python on MacOS. (There's some insanity IIRC where matplotlib wants you to use the Framework build? But that's matplotlib)
Good thing Etsy isn't a government then.
It's interesting that so many people present this argument now that we actually do have AIs worthy of the name. LLMs can perform an unbounded range of tasks with human-level performance and you talk to them like they are human. I think AI label will stick in this case. Perhaps dismissing AI is some sort of psychological defense that protects people from existential crisis triggered by emergence of LLMs.
For reference, this is known as a metonym. It's most common with places, but AFAIU the term also covers things like referring to execs as "the suits" or "upstairs" (if they are based up there)

How is this comparable? It seems like they are offering excellent public access. It looks like a very expensive garden to maintain, free for high school and college students, veterans, and children under 12, and just $2 for anyone with SNAP/EBT card (Museums for All pass). That seems very reasonable.

It looks like they also put on lots of paid (and free!) performances. This takes a lot of real live human hours to coordinate.

Universal links on iOS do not work on the very first app launch, which is why developers have to resort to using techniques like copying the link out of the clipboard or associating a link to a user with a fingerprint.

This isn't a problem after the first launch, as the app delegate gets an event to open and route the user from the URL.

I just meant that they all worked on the same engine. Who forked who, or how's on first. Doesn't change the point, that all 3 big players were all working on same engine (fork of same), so it wasn't MS 'stealing' some small indie open source project.

At one point in time, Apple and Google were both working on this, and I had order wrong, Google was the one that forked first to go off and do their own thing that became Chromium, which then went on to be used by Edge. And Safari continued on with different fork, (or maybe trunk? it has split so many times, not really sure how is forking who).

""
On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it would produce a fork of WebKit's WebCore component, to be named Blink. Chrome's developers decided on the fork to allow greater freedom in implementing WebCore's features in the browser without causing conflicts upstream, and to allow simplifying its codebase by removing code for WebCore components unused by Chrome. In relation to Opera Software's announcement earlier in the year that it would switch to WebKit by means of the Chromium codebase, it was confirmed that the Opera web browser would also switch to Blink.[44] Following the announcement, WebKit developers began discussions on removing Chrome-specific code from the engine to streamline its codebase.[80] WebKit no longer has any Chrome specific code (e.g., buildsystem, V8 JavaScript engine hooks, platform code, etc.).

> The thing is, this is coming. There is literally nothing you can do to stop it. Your protests are meaningless next to the desire for some people at Google to sanitise the web.

We can stop this by having websites test for "Web Environment Integrity" APIs and refusing to serve clients that implement it.

While I'd like to agree with your points about the potential downfalls of therapy, and the troublesome implications of these applied at scale to the perverse incentives of a pro-therapy society, I cannot. Your tone is far too adversarial here for the kind of productive conversation I'd like to see or be a part of. That user's response carried none of the malice you attribute to it, and I believe you should reconsider how you address conversations like this.
This is the right take on it.

The era where you could fax ASCII art of a gun to someone without the Feds following up is gone. It was perpetrated not on any kind of justice theory of the power of the anonymous actor, but on a power inequality: governments hadn't caught up with what the technology enabled, so individuals using new technology could out-maneuver enforcement.

That is no longer true for most Internet users. The tools are in place for mass-surveillance and mass-enforcement. Governments can take down a website, governments can black-hole a DNS entry, governments can honeypot someone into trying to trade Bitcoin for criminal activity, governments can jail citizens indefinitely until they cough up passwords, and governments can require a corporation divulge privately-held information on penalty of loss of corporate privileges (including ability to exist).

The "golden era" of the Internet was a latency hiccup, not a new world order.

The word “soccer” actually comes from England! From Wikipedia:

The term soccer comes from Oxford "-er" slang, which was prevalent at the University of Oxford in England from about 1875, and is thought to have been borrowed from the slang of Rugby School. Initially spelled assoccer, it was later reduced to the modern spelling.

“Football” almost always means soccer (association football) in the UK, but there are also things like rugby football and Gaelic football.

Edit to add: you need to disambiguate when other forms of football are popular (eg at Oxford university) but these days soccer is the most popular sport by a huge margin.

The pressure from the SEC and other regulators has definitely improved the space

We would all still be doing 2013-style cryptosecurities without them and most of the more refined infrastructure wouldnt have been developed

But this is a very shitty evolution of antifragility

It is still routing around those regulators, and the SEC will never achieve investor protection and the legislature should direct the agencies more holistically
WEI will be opt-in for websites so government websites don't have to use it.
They have the prototypes now, and are talking about entering mass production 2H 2024 [1]. From what I read, Intel has already received and taped out 18A and 20A using these new high-NA machines [2]

>Intel has announced that manufacturing of 18A-node chips will commence in H2 2024, six months ahead of schedule. According to a roadmap released last year, this node will be Intel’s first to employ high-NA lithography. It’s not clear whether this means that the next-gen EUV technology makes its debut in production a little earlier than expected. Last January, ASML CEO Peter Wennink told investors that he expected high-volume high-NA manufacturing to start in 2025 or 2026.

ASML’s first high-NA system, the Twinscan EXE:5000, is fully production-capable, but chip manufacturers will initially use it for process development. The first unit will ship in H1 2023, with Intel on the receiving end. The US processor maker also placed the first order for the EXE:5000’s successor, the EXE:5200. The swift adoption of high-NA is an important element in Intel’s strategy to regain “unquestioned leadership” in the semiconductor industry by 2025.

I didn't hear about PyPy before, but I think you're doing great work.

I would be interested in seeing benchmarks where PyPy is compared with more recent versions of CPython. https://www.pypy.org/ currently shows a comparison with CPython 3.7, but recent releases of CPython (3.11+) put a lot of effort into performance which is important to take into account.
The last large raids were in 2006 at Swift Meat packing. What set them off was an internal investigation of a Hispanic worker in ICE who the IRS was complaining had not been paying income tax. Due to identity theft, her name & SSN were being used at more than 50 simultaneous jobs. Apparently the financial motive for a lot of identity theft is to find Hispanic name & SSN combos, which were, at least back in 2006, worth over $50 each to companies looking to dodge eVerify checks.

The global consistency of some of these franchises really comes in handy. Same with usually knowing that a Starbucks or McDonalds in Country C will have free relatively-barrierless bathrooms in places where that’s often not a thing.
They would love to do VNC, but that would cost them a shitton of money. Think of all the money and time they've spent pushing the rendering of websites to the user's browser just so they can save on CPU costs, despite the abysmal experience of client side rendering. Why undo that?
Our area has single bin recycling

I don't think the premise is correct. AI is often used term late into the product lifecycle. When Apple or Google or the technology press say a product has improved it's dictation they say the "AI" has improved.

When we talk historically about deep blue we categorize it as an early AI project to have computers beet humans at chess.

Fair that AI is a vague term for software with some training stage or approach to analyze data; But I don't see the term not being used to describe past innovation in that (admittedly vague) domain.

The author is likely thinking about the moving goalposts of human excepltionalism as AI gains capabilities which has a history of coverage itself; but goes about this in a roundabout way and I don't think it applies in the way the author is proposing per more specific language being the problem

All to say unfortunate article given such a cool article title :)
I don't think I've seen that before. But the article you linked doesn't make the conclusion you suggest at all, instead they pose a corrected value. If indeed no one estimating had no information at all, the average length of Chinese person's nose would be close to that corrected value.

It's the same with this topic. You won't get an answer to the question "Is this particular paper true or not?" but you'll get an answer to the question "Are papers submitted under these circumstances making claims like this likely to be true?". The crowd will only answer the question they can answer. I think that's from "Thinking fast and slow".
Ukraine war: 'People call us the Ghosts of Bakhmut'
Im a parent whos kids are burgeoning internet users. Though quite young on the spectrum, but it has gotten me thinking more and more. I also have a lot of technical ability and experience running things like web content filters etc.

That said, even beyond a DNS filter theres a lot of stuff on popular sites (ie: Youtube specifically) that is REALLY bad. Seriously just go search some special characters (ie: . or ## or something like that) and you will get some crazy stuff that looks like kids stuff, but with jump cuts of shots from the exorcist or something. If you look at it from the lens of a grade schooler, its disturbing. Not to mention all the porn and stuff the filters dont find.

Im struggling to find a way to filter that. Maybe whitelist only some channels etc and just let the blocks work from there.

Don't forget being pregnant or having to lug around a baby after it's born! Which is not an error mode. I'm well aware that "disability" is something we all go through; but my central point stands. It's not possible to accommodate all or even most types of disabilities and its reasonable to expect individual disabled people to BYOH (bring your own helper) in many cases, such as the OP's case of a speech disability wanting to do business over the phone. In other cases, like with ramps, BYOH won't help so its reasonable to expect/regulate those measures.

Yes. Furthermore, libel and slander are basically not protected as free speech.

In the US system at least, you can say whatever you want about someone... But if they haul you into court for damaging their reputation, you'd better bring receipts that you were speaking truth, to the best of your ability and knowledge. Not even the US right to free speech extends to spreading damaging falsehood.

(ETA, clarification: I should say damaging false facts. US freedom of speech generally protects a person's right to say that in their opinion someone is an ass, etc. But make concrete claims that you hate so-and-so because they did such-and-such, and whether they did such-and-such becomes arguable in a court of law).
