I’m sorry. Writing select words with all-caps and calling the idea names is not making your point more persuasive.

> You still have to explain THAT.

I see your point there. Sadly the universe is not obliged to be easy to understood. “If X then I have further questions, therefore not X.” Is not a logical reasoning I recognise.

What I am saying is that you can’t argue that we are not in a computer because that would bring up a host of questions.

> That is different from "we're living in a computational medium" which doesn't claim it's simulating something else

Interesting. The way I use these they are synonymous in my mind. I don’t claim that there is something else out there which the simulation mimics. If you have some state representation and some rules to describe how the state propagates then I would describe a computer program which calculates new states based on the old one a simulator. This is the sense how I use the word when I say “we might be living in a simulation”. If this bothers you feel free to just imagine that I am saying “we might be living in a computational medium”.

> and is the only level of existence

Now, why exactly do you belive that? Why not 2 levels? Or 3? Why do you feel believing that there is only one level of existence is more justified than those other arbitrary numbers?
I adopted Chrome almost as soon as it was released. Chrome was better than the other browsers available at that time. Firefox was a mess, and Internet Explorer... well, best left unsaid.
In this day and age it should be possible to not tightly integrate the computer into the device you are building. That way you can update the hardware and stay current with software. Building things with computers is just an ongoing investment into updates and staying current. Because the longer you push it away the harder it gets to update.
The freedom Google stood for was also a trend of the time — tech start-ups were trying to break out in the burgeoning internet against established giants — and naturally the companies ideologies reflected that rebellion against the norm.

The alternative is tweezers. There's a few really annoying problems:

It's very easy to squeeze a bit too hard or not quite get the grip right and the part will ping off and you'll never find it.

If the tweezers get a bit of solder paste on them the components start to stick so you can't let go of them.

It's really hard to get the components out of the tape - so you tend to have to tip them out and then they are upside down so you need to flip them over. Which is really hard with tiny components and again you often lose them.

For larger components (e.g. MCUs) its quite hard to pick them up in a way that is easy to place with tweezers.
> Sanitization is straight forward to implement

I would not say it's easy. Considering your adversaries are very motivated to do XSS and the web platform is very complicated.

> It could be argued that automatically sanitizing everything including already safe data types like numbers and system-generated content adds an unnecessary performance overhead for certain projects.

I don't think there's a substantial performance loss from doing a type check on a value to see that it's a number, and then putting it verbatim into the output (within your sanitization code).

I don't know what "system generated content" is, and I'd argue that neither does a framework. Which means the far safer route is to assume it came from a user by default and force the dev to confirm that it's not from the user.

> Loops are also trivial; you can simply use Array.prototype.map function to return a bunch of strings which you can incorporate directly into the main component's template string

Combined with the "it's fine" mentality on data sanitization, it's concerning that we're using the term "string" in relation to building DOM nodes here. I hope we aren't talking about generating HTML as strings, combined with default-trusted application data that in most applications, does in fact come from the user, even if you might consider that user trusted (because it's Dave from Accounting, and not LeetHacker99 from Reddit).

"What features do you need that only Chromium can give you?"

I like to have a calculator on my desk as a kind of ‘burst capacity’ for when I’m busy keeping an important mental process running. It’s like having a dedicated chip (with its own private chunk of RAM) optimised for simple arithmetic operations, when such a need arises mid-flow, always available to use without pausing to reallocate any memory elsewhere when everything is running at capacity trying to make some complex decision. And by ‘memory’ here, I mean the combined scratchpad made up of my brain’s thought loop and the windows arranged on my desktop. If I’m at capacity, just changing the focus of windows on the desktop (eg. to bring up a software calculator overlay) can break my train of thought, meaning the spinning plates start to wobble and fall down, and then I have to start over on the wider task, all because I got stuck on something silly like 14*2.5. With a pocket calculator on my desk, I can safely turn my head to it for a moment, do the sum with almost zero effort, and turn back to the monitor, and the plates are all still spinning.
I respect your individual experience, Firefox may be slow for you on Linux. It's not for me.

That being said, I don't believe this kind of performance is the deciding factor in choosing your web browser any more. All of them are doing at least "Okay" in browsing the web. Other things seem to be more important, at least to me. For example, Firefox (and Mozilla) are not without faults, but they surely are one of the few obstacles remaining to prevent a Chromium monoculture and a fall-back into IE4 times.

You have isolated it into its own (not even virtual) machine. Any buffer overflows or whatever won’t spill over.
The kernel shouldn't break user space but glibc, Qt, GTK, etc. any upgrade of the most common dependencies will break programs without at least recompiling them.

Windows programs ship with all their necessary libraries and/or link against the Microsoft c++ resist packages and you can have many different versions installed.
Your MSI installer has to install the libcurl.3.dll instead of it being shared with other programs.

Docker and Flatpak fix the userland part the kernel part is already stable by "definition". Stuff may still break overtime but no more than it does on MacOS and Window. It's not broken by design anymore.
> Cloudflare CAPTCHA – The abuse of Cloudflare’s CAPTCHA service has become a popular anti-analysis tactic. Cloudflare is a legitimate domain security service used to keep websites secure from bots or other automated visitors. This has proven to be a very effective tactic at evading email security because the CAPTCHAs often come prior to any actual-malicious URLs.

Besides the obvious schadenfreude at AMP being abused, this stood out to me. It's just so delicious, malicious actors thwarting automated analysis of their shady links by including CAPTCHAs...
This is totally silly of course, but to me IE 3 and 4 always “felt” faster compared to Netscape because of the speed of their animation.

I always wondered if MS intentionally made it faster due to perception.

Personally I doubt that there's any other one, the impact of climate change seemed widely underestimated and the recent large spike of emissions has yet to have any effect. There's already way too much emissions already "locked-in".

We are already having "once in a lifetime" events every month.
On the other hand, old software often runs better (or at all) on dosbox or wine than on windows.
I think the "Stop SOPA" banners are a good model. I think people are already suspicious of Google, I don't think they'd need all that much convincing to try switching to Firefox. After a week, at least half will have switched back, but that's just how it goes.
Furthermore, Flatpaks do exist since, like you've stated, it is easy to implement https://flathub.org/apps/search?q=totp
Ok but people still do that.
My guess too, really common in factory tours. Years of development can go into tooling, it's a huge asset.
At a guess (I know nothing about the field):

- because the fuselage itself isn't important for testing
- older chunkier design is more amenable to bolting radical new bits on
- 737s still have market value
I don't think anyone at Google is surprised either.
My aunt was one of the first "webmasters" in Denmark, getting their municipality information online. In Danish, aunt is "moster", so when she helped me and my mom make a website for my mom's business, the footer said "Webmoster" instead. She also helped me set up an e-mail. I called myself mats_pc, because having PC in my name like she did felt cool and techy. Only later did I realize she had _pc as that was her initials after getting married. So I basically changed my name to hers, hehe. Good memories.
I'm not sold on this. The ability to often reasonably combine knowledge to derive new solutions to a problem to me implies some kind of model of a world. If it fails it might as well just be a model of a very different, wrong world. The idea that we have "persistent memory" of contextual knowledge is also questionable, relations generally don't seem to be hard-coded in the brain.

In the optimal scenario, it would just be sufficient to massively increase the context space of current LLMs.

I really don't know why all the people defending strategic bombing of civilians, targeted at civilians at that, ignore all the contemporary documents from the people doing it, Harris, the RAF, USAAF and so on, clearly showing they knew already back then that a) it was a war crime and b) didn't even have remotely the effect they used to sell it in public (namely destroying enemy moral to the point the enemy surrenders).
I love this channel it's very relaxing just to watch them go about their business.

>The reason Kundera never returned is because he was ashamed that he snitched to secret police and other intellectuals knew it.

That never stopped thousands of other artists, politicians, writers, businessmen, and so on having done the same or much much worse. Heck, most of Germany's ex-Nazi establishment continued to not only live in Germany, but to hold positions of power post war, be public intellectuals and so on.
Oh crap. I'm quite ashamed this kind of internal CZ infighting makes it to the front page of HN. Please everyone, read this article with a pretty big pinch of salt.

The title itself is misleading at best. Kundera "did" visit Prague pretty regularly in the 90s and 2000s. And the text doesn't get any better from there...

There already are a few comments about the author, but long story short - Petr Drulak is pretty well known in CZ for his support of weird / fringe political movements and parties. It's a pretty strange / convoluted story, mainly because he's been a high official in CZ diplomacy (foreign affairs ministry, ambassador to France, university professor). His articles are usually fairly complex, use a lot of cultural references, but they are ultimately a cargo cult. In the end no matter through which paths his arguments go, they always invariably end up in the same place. The place is "EU bad, Havel bad, NGOs bad, American domination bad, free market / liberalism good, cooperation with China / Russia good, old times / conservative worldview good".
Wow... that is a bit overwhelming. The things you can do with atomically precise manufacturing, on the other hand, are amazing.

I still hold out hope that this weird idea I heard of from a company that failed in the 2008 crash will work out... the ultraconductor. It's conductive fibers that grow from polar plastics if you subject them to a large voltage gradient and UV in optimal conditions. I suspect they are unidirectional superconductors, but I'm just a guy on the internet, likely wrong.

Here's the patent - https://patents.google.com/patent/US5777292A/en

Working with plastic, very slow growth rates, and UV light and a few hundred volts sounds way easier than vacuum furnaces, etc.

That works for “Did I give Foo permission to Bar?” Questions, somewhat for “Who did I give permission to Bar?” questions (the UI would need updating to decrease the needed number of mouse clicks), but is utterly annoying for “What permissions did I give Foo?” questions, where the number necessary clicks is even higher.

I think an ideal system would make answering all three easy.
It is safe to assume that every big internet/data/telco company from big nation states has some kind of relationship with national intelligence agencies, dating back from the 60s at least, if we just talk about the modern information age.

Nothing strange or mind blowing really, for example Crypto AG, a famous swiss crypto vendor was secretly a joint USA-Germany operation from the 70s onward.
Replying here bc max comment depth.

Absolutely not, boffinAudio, the other way around! It was you who brought US into this discussion, I did not. I am a citizen of a former satelite country of the Soviet Union and I do not want this situation repeated. But some people do not understand that you can hate being a Russian/Soviet subject (as the Polish, Czech...) without having to love the US.

And FYI, part of my family is from South America and I am well aware of the anti US sentiment there and understand its reasons. But it just bears no relevance on what Russia did in Central and Eastern Europe. It's still the same story -- country A attacks country B, but you say. Yes, but country C did this to country D before! So country A has right to do it. Bad luck country B!

I think there is some confusion going on. Nobody claims that there is the null hypothesis. I think you are fighting windmills.

Let’s say you study P. You know that P belongs to the family 𝒫. For example, 𝒫 = {N(μ,σ²): μ∈ℝ, σ²>0}. To be aware of 𝒫 is a prerequisite to do any sort of testing. For example, to test H0: μ=0 vs H1: μ≠0. After all, a typical hypothesis test is just a likehood ratio test.

What you don’t have to know or even to assume existence of—if you don’t do Bayesian stuff—is a probability measure Π on 𝒫 (and its appropriate sigma-field). That’s the philosophical difference. But you have to have well-defined 𝒫 either way.

The priors is Π. Existence of 𝒫 means that you have a family of models, but it doesn’t force you to assume any priors about those models. I don’t see how not having Π makes P∈𝒫 less of a model. You are still allowed to do conditional reasoning, eg the aforementioned type I and type II errors.
I've been complaining about this for a while. Everything I try to test with urlscan.io (as a safe sandbox to view a phishing site) has for a while just given me a Cloudflare captcha. Everything I submit to certain automated malware services just come back as "not malicious" despite being clearly malicious, I'm guessing because automation doesn't get past the catpcha.
It was/is a very well thought-out format that had a lot of industry signalling they were willing or even enthusiastic about supporting it, which happens virtually never for new image formats. All the major browsers were working on support, many image processing pipelines were being updated.

Everyone agreed that it was not just a major improvement, but actually the best option out of all the contenders out there. Even the Chrome team. The only ones who didn't agree were the AVIF team at Google, who had developed a competing standard. Well, whoever was on that team had some pull, because not long after Chrome landed JXL support in stable and everything was about to pick up some serious pace, they suddenly landed a commit that reverted everything to do with JXL support in Chrome, and that was that.

An immense, cross-industry effort undone by internal Google politics. That's what's hostile about this situation. JXL is still limping along, but Google's unilateral reversal hurt everyone's confidence in the project but also the entire process. Apparently it doesn't matter what everyone in the world thinks is the most appropriate format. What matters is Lord Google's favour.
There’s reasoning if you can actually see what’s happening. Does it outway the costs? It’s a political question, but there’s some benefits.

For example, JPMorganChase is “the” big bank lately. It was able to handle the acute financial crisis this year by providing liquidity and a buyer as needed to keep the system from ever losing a deposit. That was likely bad for them as a business, short term, but it happened because the regulators can call up a single organization and get what they want.

Big tech has similar (unrealized) opportunities to keep strategically important things going. One possible example is the ease of releasing the Covid contact tracing system. If there were 20 fragmented parties they may never have aligned.
Fidelity is also another player, as is State Street. And like you stated, Fidelity is still akin to Vanguard while State Street is akin to Blackrock.
Later, IE was also hated for being tied to the OS (which was related but different to the "not evolving"). Another thing Safari has. So yeah, I also fully agree. Safari is still the new IE.
Here's one: the US cooperating with Saudi-Arabia and other gulf states despite them being responsible for the largest terrorist attack(s) on US soil and funding terrorists, the big bad guy since 9/11, the reason why a generation of soldiers has fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, killing nearly a million people.

> I'm curious what "its own vision" was

The JS and CSS and HTML box model worked differently, the websites were displayed correctly only on IE or only on other browsers. People put text that says "best viewed in Internet Explorer 6" at the bottom of the page or straight out blocked users from displaying the page in other browsers and encouraged them to download IE - just the same thing we have with Chrome today when anything that's using some advanced API.

IE was hated after the fact of cornering the whole marketshare and making the web developers build all the websites to work on IE only.

Initially, IE was very innovative browser too and they were the inventor of technologies like Ajax, introduced in IE5. Back in the pre-hate days, the web developers loved IE and it's innovative ways that let them to cool stuff.

Chrome being still innovative doesn't mean much. Once they make sure that websites are built to work in Chrome only, they can relax and stop spending money on it and increase profits and stock prices by rent seeking.

Safari caused me by far the most issues, back when I was doing frontend in ~2017/2018, in terms of how it complied with web standards (I wasn't as fussed at the standards it didn't support - at least I knew!) and rendered the web application I was working on across desktop, iPad and iPhone.

I spent more time chasing Safari bugs and rendering idiosyncrasies than I did dealing with IE11, frankly.
