Fair enough, my point was that the terminology was a put-off. Reads like kids bragging about stuff and not as a technical article.
Sure, the below stick with me, Im not sure if they class as lesser known, they were to my uncultured self..

- Black Cat, White Cat (1998), serbian comedy

- Brother (1997), russian revenge flick

- Kontroll (2003), hungarian sci-fi/fantasy

- The Return (2003), russian drama

- Dead Man (1997), US western/art

- Three colours Blue (1993), french drama

- Paris, je t'aime (2006), short film compilation

As a bonus if you like smoking with friends Darby o Gill and The little People (1959) is an (inadvertent?) slapstick-comedy/horror from disney.
That argument goes both ways: each country in Europe might be smaller individually, but at the same time I can pay with my debit/credit card all across Europe, and the same is true for each other EU country. And I still enjoy all of the aforementioned protections and services.

So despite the EU consisting of 27 separate member states, with their own banking systems, we still managed to standardize those banking systems enough to offer all of these services across the continent.
Once upon a time that may have been a very hard to dispute thing, but I'm not so sure anymore.

For starters, recent Firefox versions do proper process isolation per domain, similar to Chrome, which has long been claimed to be the primary security benefit of Chrome-based browsers.

In addition, the Firefox codebase is partially rewritten in Rust. This effort is incomplete and likely always will be, but it's still significant. Keep in mind that according to Google, 70% of security vulnerabilities in Chrome are related to memory unsafety!
Got it. Will learn about those and see what I can do.
Plus he pitched a no hitter for the Red Sox in 2002. What a well rounded guy.
What is a "period of stability"? Sounds like a rather arbitrary and subjective designation, but it seems unlikely that an economy that has existed for thousands of years is yet to have its first "period of stability".
"Hard not to X" is not the same as "Easy to X". It may be easy to do something but also easy not to do it. It would be easy for me to yell "Elephant!" right now, for example, but also easy not to do it.
The standards are there for a reason (interoperability), so following them makes sense even if a browser vendor reasonably thinks it should have been done differently. If everyone just implemented what they think is best, no standard would be required in the first place.

Apart from that, IE6 also had massive rendering bugs and no CSS2 support. They only fixed the worst stuff five years later, with IE7. Of course web developers still had to wrestle IE6 for years after that, as its market share declined only slowly.
"new standard" apparently is a PEP from 2012
Retiring at 58 would be awesome. Some people live to work and others work to live. I like what I do but I also have hobbies which I really enjoy.

I get that the post is satire but at some point in your career there are diminishing returns on learning new things. If you are somewhat specialized say in backend systems involving scaling, message queues, clustering, etc. it probably isn't a good time investment to learn whatever is new in the frontend world. And by learn I mean to become proficient professionally and get a job doing it, not just a "hello world" learning. Doing "hello world" learning on a technology is like learning how the yolk and rudders work in an airplane, you're not going to be flying professionally anytime soon.
That was a really interesting read.

I will say though, as someone who, along with a large portion of my friends - plays quite a few video games: everyone prefers when a game just take the time to precompile the shaders it needs. I don’t care if it needs to spin for 30 mins on first run/on-update. That’s preferable to jitter, random hangs, and lag from JIT-ing shaders in-game.
Yeh it's a rough but rewarding life; I spend most of my hours on problems that aren't on Google, or any LLM, so I'm kinda used to it now. (Stockholm)

Would love to know of more spaces which require this level of programming - usually I feel kinda underworked at most shops.

Though, true enlightenment is combining the urge to NIH with some, light, sensible borrowing from those smarter than us :) very much a key skill unto itself.
Maybe dumpster diving is extreme, to drive home a point.

But, there are a lot of old people that are hungry, and work as Wal-Mart greeters.

If you didn't save/plan well enough, and 30 years of cool software development ends as being a Wal-Mart greeter, that can seem equivalent to dumpster diving.
I don't belive I could ever hear CRTs, but I belive I had a similar experience. I once saw a meteor in the night sky of France and also heard the sound it made. I was assured by my father, who knows of such things, that the meteor was way too far away and in too rareified an atmosphere for me to have genuinely heard it's sound. However, I later learned that meteors can emit low and high frequency electro magnetic radiation. Perhaps this was what I heard.
> LCD was just way cheaper and more convenient as in taking less space that regardless of worse quality it still took over.

They were definitely not cheaper at first. But taking up less space is also a quality. You often get trade-offs like that. You often get things that are faster, but they produce more heat. Early SSDs were faster, but had less capacity than HDDs. It's still part of progress, and these technologies often exist side by side for a while before for a lot of people, the trade-off means they prefer the older tech, until the newer tech catches up on the attributes it was less good at.

> In general, shrinking form-factor brought lots of drops in quality, because it's harder to make various electronic parts smaller and as durable.

Again, different aspects of quality. The fact that computers now fit in your pocket instead of taking up an entire room is progress. It enables new ways to use them. Early laptops were not an attractive replacement for many desktop uses, but now they generally are. But still not quite for all (I just bought a new desktop PC).
You wouldn't have to say it even
It's just their minds screaming "oh no that's me in six months!"
WEI will make chromium effectively unusable

yes you'll have the source, but it won't remotely attest unless you're Google/MS

so it is effectively closed source
I can form much more complete and eloquent sentences and I treated school as the re-education camps that they are. My mother taught me to read, then books (and later the internet) taught me the rest.
The three that are not wheels are distributed as source tarballs only -- one is AWS Sagemaker that looks like it uses a bunch of native code, one is Apache Spark, and one is futures.

I think the news here is that there are no packages in the top N that are using an alternate packaging system without using wheel as well. (alternates being msi, exe, or egg)
What role does data quality plays in the LLM scaling laws?
I've been using AdGuard and haven't seen a single ad since I installed it. AdGuard seems to offer a much of the same functionality from uBlock that I enjoyed, like being able to selectively block elements on the page, and choosing what filter lists I want. The only 'downside' is that I believe you have to pay for it, but I believe there is a free version that I use on my mother's MacBook.

AdGuard also offers a pi-hole-esque ad-blackhole that I deploy on my home network and it's got much better UX than pi-hole.
"Feature phone" can often have some android installed on it. From all definitions I ever saw, it was mostly about form factor (keeping that old Nokia looks with physical buttons). Nokias now have something called KaiOS, unix-based OS where you can develop just like elsewhere.

Porting some app into another OS would be probably a showstopper due to budgets/deadlines, even though even my old Nokia in 2006 could easily run java apps like these (but ended up mostly running Snake et al).
I spent 18 years in school. If the net result is "the student can form a sentence", then 99% of instruction was wasted
Cool. Can you show how you start an Emacs (i.e., what flags you use) to test whether init.el would load successfully next time an Emacs is started the normal way?
I would love to have a web tool that lets you replace the "N" with a different letter so you can make your own avatar with the first letter of your name.
I wouldn't bet on LK99 being a RTAPS but "Replicating a bunch of weird shit that we don't really understand that at least somewhat align with the possibility" really isn't a damning position to be in when the starting point is "The team says they only get a working sample about 10% of the time and everyone else is working off of pretty meh instructions on how to replicate"
Yes - Anki integration is one of the things I'm keen to do next. I'm convinced that any good language learning app needs spaced repitition.

Got it. Thinking of making it possible to control the mic by holding the space bar, although that wouldn't work for mobile obviously. What devices were you testing it on if you don't mind me asking?
I point out your false dichotomy and you say what is the third option? I have been very clear there are more two more than three but many many options.

To be clear - the two options you’ve presented are not actual options that anyone is arguing for. So presenting a single alternative would be to fall into an obvious trap. I ought not to have replied to disingenuous debate in the first place I get that.

But perhaps someone else can - in future - spot a false dichotomy and say “oh - avoid this nonsense.”
The headline reads as if it was from The Onion.
Not my post. But still very curious too.
Wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at but for anyone who misses it:

The user posted an answer which the dumbass mods decided to delete.
It's not particularly high when there is an active war between Russia and an almost-NATO country, supported by NATO, with fighting happening right at NATO borders?

I would say it's perhaps never been higher since the Cuban missile crisis.
Got it. Thanks for the feedback.
I bet 1/1,000th of people actually want one though.
Agree with you. I don't understand the point of this article other than some sort of tongue and cheek snobbery. Hope it maybe made the OP feel better about themselves.
Neither Mozilla nor Opera did that, so apparently they didn't have to.
Everything you’ve proposed is the media being owned by the government with a single extra step.
NATO member Romania, to be clear.
> We’ve had both of these tools for over 20 years now. It’s just a question of how much the industry is choosing to cater to convenience and backwards compatibility, i.e. a security/availability trade off.

Exactly: it’s not like this was a technological breakthrough but that companies were trying to avoid breaking backwards compatibility - not just things like the readers but backend payment systems using something like fixed length records, but also restaurants needing to stop having a single terminal used for every table (this is why they went chip and no PIN).

Going back to the original comment, that’s the peace of mind benefit I see: those businesses can slack on security without me getting stuck with a potentially massive bill.
3 months is ~60 work days assuming a 5 day work week.
It seems worth noting that the input of gte-small is limited to 512 tokens. The tokenizers for sure aren’t the same, but I imagine this is significantly less than ada-002, whose input is limited to 8191 tokens. That said, I don’t imagine that embedding huge full documents is necessarily the right approach.

I would love to see a comparison for some typical use cases using various methods of chunking input documents.
This is, other than the fact it violates UNIX principles, my biggest issue with Homebrew.
Nope. I have a Mac with a calculator app and I have an extended keyboard with a numpad. If I'm doing anything more advanced I usually pull up a spreadsheet. For what its worth, I really don't do anything scientific, mostly statistics on performance, ratios of things, etc.
Google Maps (and even more so Waze which they own) already had partnerships with various brands - for example, type McDonalds into Google Maps (at least in the UK) and it has the M logo next to "see locations" as soon as you've typed Mc - so it's not such a huge stretch as you think it would be.
Sounds like Vivaldi should work on their menu options.
That was the web, yeah. Absurdly simple. Now all new protocols are binary and require reading several academic papers instead of a single RFC.

It only took me 2 years in this "new" old company to become irreplacable! I really have to hop.
deep sigh That brings back memories... I remember downloading Netscape 4.0 over an ISDN line, took at least an hour. Fun times...
Wheels are essentially zip files with all the code required to run it contained in one handy little file for all platforms that the package maintainer chooses to build for. Instead of having to download the source of the packages and building on your machines, you have a cache-able neat little file that contains potentially everything you need to use the package. It makes package installations way faster because it skips the build steps and will ship all the binaries required to run the package (ideally). Eggs were this but are not in use anymore in favor of using wheels. Pypi is the package repository for python packages just like npm
Probably Ruby owns the award for the worst package names. Can you guess what Sorbet is doing in Ruby ? Or Oniguruma ? Or Ahoy ? Or Figaro ?
At least room temperature superconductors will be easier to achieve if room temperature keeps rising :’)
I wouldn't say "a lot". Though the multi-process model Chrome uses and the V8 sandbox do provide a lot of security isolation (more than just running the browser in a VM). Though a lot of these protections are disabled on low-end mobile devices because of the associated overhead. Firefox has been making good progress implementing some of the same isolation mechanisms and is farther along rewriting components in Rust to avoid memory safety issues.
OpenAI's embeddings don't add that much. For similarity search you can use a number of open source models from huggingface with small embeddings sizes and do as well or better than OpenAI’s embeddings.
Spend time digging deep into something, or spend time skimming the surface of a bunch of things, I guess.
Yet it supports AVIF, a a directly competing format ...

There is nothing neutral about supporting one format and not supporting another.
Yeah, I find it amazing someone would transfer to standard web CRUD development from that. Sure you can have enough of all the custom stuff, but there are plenty of companies that will hire you for your current salary for non-web work. (you can probably guess how little I like web work)
And then everyone will start confusing them with pip.

Though I suppose people already struggle to keep pip vs pip3 vs pip3.9 vs pip3.10 vs pip3.${n} vs pipx vs pipenv straight.

Jokes aside, I feel like the names on python are no more terrible than what Java does.
Anarchists also organize into affinity groups. Not all anarchists are anti-market. Anti capitalist !== anti market
Note that a number of well-known drugs violate Lipinski's rules. For instance, digoxin is absorbed by transporters and violates 2 rules. Atorvastatin is another famous example (again 2 rules violated). I believe that it is absorbed through Peyer's patches in the intestine.

I have and actually gotten a couple of them fixed in a timely manner. One was even marked with highest severity so it's not like I'm hallucinating this or doing something wrong. The team clearly cares about fixing performance issues. With that said, it's not always easy to create a minimum working example reproducing some things (general low fps, stuttering, unstable rendering, sudden black screens, strange audio artifacts).
Imagine PackageHub:

Allows for standard features like network of trust, signing, search, smart scanning, transformation into distri specific build flows from a meta format, statistics tracking, CDN, unified package API with dependency resolution and/or SDKs for this.

It would also be much much easier to get sponsoring.
Every young man I know who enlisted in the US military had good job offers and college scholarships that he turned down.

A big part of their decision was based on wanting excitement, and a special operations infantry MOS was the way to get that.

For one young man, it was the job training. He never knew he was not born in the US until he was turned down for enlistment because he was an illegal alien. Then his parents confessed and he added getting his citizenship to the reasons for enlisting.
Page 5, Exhibit 2 is PwC's ESG framework. It includes carbon emissions. The criteria used by each ESG ratings agency differs. The major agencies are MSCI, Sustainalytics, Bloomberg, FTSE Russell, ISS Ratings and Rankings, CDP Climate, Water and Forest Scores, S&P Global ESG Score, and Moody’s ESG Solutions Group. All of them include carbon emissions in their Environmental score. For example, this is the methodology used by the largest ESG ratings agency, MSCI: https://www.msci.com/documents/1296102/34424357/MSCI+ESG+Rat.... You might need to register to gain access but it should be free. Continue reading the document and you will quickly realise that the score is not about how the world impacts the company, it is about how the company impacts the world. I understand that ESG has been sold to businesses on the premise that higher ESG scores might improve profitability, but that is an ancillary benefit. The purpose of the score is for marketing. That is, "our business is awesome because we have a high ESG score! Ignore all of the evil things we do!"
People are quick to forget the pain of things like table-based-layout.

I’ll never forget in 2006-2008-ish I developed a website for my computer repair business (I was in High School) and was very proud of it. Then I opened it in IE (I had developed it in Firefox) and it all fell apart (I was using floats IIRC). I then rewrote the whole thing using tables because I knew my target audience would not be running Firefox.

In Safari sometimes things aren’t aligned correctly but nothing to the degree of hacks I’ve done over the years for IE. Gradients, transparent pngs, rounded corners, the list goes on.
Which UNIX principles do you believe it violates?
> In case you haven't noticed our current economy also does not work.

Define "work". The problems I know of have to do with improper or incorrect governing, not the structure of the economy. These are problems with government:

- Minimum wage has not been inflation-adjusted over the years

- Antitrust legislation has failed to be enforced. The US government of 1920 would not tolerate the conglomerates, mergers, and anti-consumer practices of companies today.

- DAs around the country (and federal prosecutors as well) are failing en mass to prosecute crime.
>Normal users however don’t care much about performance and whatnot. Their PC came with Chrome, so they use it

You talk like it's impossible for nerds to have influence on their surroundings. Way before Chrome got preinstalled on a computer or went on a dark pattern campaign, I heavily recommended it to my acquaintances, friends, family. I even remember a perfectly "normal user" type uncle using Chrome before I recommended it to him because he had learned of its existence from another person's word of mouth. I constantly see people try to diminish the power of word of mouth spreading good products here on HN, which is complete nonsense. Contrary to the popular belief on HN that "normies" are idiots who only ever settle for "defaults", they routinely try new things if their peers recommend it, it's how non-preinstalled apps like Whatsapp grow. It's not just the networking effect, you need to be better than the default. Sending things like pictures through texting apps sucked, group messaging sucked, Whatsapp provided something /much better/ so people used it. By the way, it's out of topic, but mentioning messaging apps reminds me of how Google in fact could not, despite its monopoly and advertisement power, get anyone to use theirs. If you think dark patterns and preinstalling apps is enough to gain success, then why has google failed, time and time again? Apps like Google Duo were preinstalled on all android phones I've seen and literally no one I know in real life ever made use of them. Maybe google's apps weren't bad, but they were not /better/ enough to encourage people to give a shit. To convert people, you can't just be "as good" as the competition, you need some serious oomph.

When Chrome came out, it was a landslide. IE was dead, and Firefox was dramatically inferior in both performance and security. The multiprocess architecture of Chrome combined with other security related decisions, and the V8 JIT for javascript made it a vastly superior browser and people knew about it. Firefox took a VERY long time to get to a place where it didn't feel bad to use once websites started taking advantage of Chrome's superior performance and got more bloated in the process. Some of the changes it made to get there were heavily contentious with the nerds who ended up being the main population of users for FF, like removing XUL, further pushing FF into a very specific niche : the privacy conscious and people who use it solely to reject google's monopoly. The "normal people" who would have used Firefox instead of IE back in the day because of peer recommendations would not use Firefox instead of Chrome today unless they're very obsessed with those things, because FF is no longer clearly better than the alternative, to the contrary, it's still weaker, though not as much as it used to be.

And while the crowd on HN tends to focus heavily on things like privacy, if there's anything the average person doesn't care about in my experience, it's that. They will never trade convenience for more privacy.
OK, i get some of your points. I don't agree very much but I understand your point.

I appreciate the response.
It's not that you won't have the skills, it's somehow demonstrating them.

I also worked at an HFT C++ shop that used no STL. Every data structure has a weird name and API that you get used to. The whole architecture has its own idioms, and hasn't needed much upgrading in terms of language features.

Imagine you learn the grammar of English. You learn how to pluralise nouns, when to put an s at the end of a verb, how to to use commas, and so on. You then go to work at a place where they have a different word for coffee, drink, and order. Along with every other word. You end up learning where everything is and how to talk about it, and you're productive.

How do you apply for another job? Chances are you will be asked how to order a coffee and drink it.

Very real issue btw, I still have friends there.
> Unless you're paid by the word

Ad hominem.
Thanks! Great - I'll put Slovenian on the list. Yes - you've been added to the mailing list which will inform you of things that will help you learn, including new languages. Thanks for signing up! You too!
How do you learn JavaScript when you don't know how to learn?
This is surprising to me, and I'm getting confused.

A hybrid that you don't plug in, clearly gets better gas mileage than a gas car, so must cost less per mile?

(Or is the original research amortizing the more expensive original purchase price too?)

But does that mean that "traditional" (not plug-in) hybrids are cheaper to power per-mile than either full ICE or full EV? That seems surprising too. (And then what about plug-in hybrids?)
