Well, practically speaking the conditions are never the same in the course of action. If you are trying to break something, for example, at first you don't succeed but in the end, after repeating the same action again and again, you finally do.

This should clear it up from the article itself.
Amazing app. Ux could use some adjustments like showing loading or clearly indicating when the AI is listening. That way I'm not stuck wondering if the words went through or not.

KDE's settings app is not bad in this regard. Gnome's is OK too but there is not many configurable things there. Everybody installs gnome-tweaks which provides a separate gui.
No, because then the user of the custom element has to put slot attributes on the things they put in the tabs. Consider this:

<tab-area>
<tab- text='First'>
...arbitrary HTML that should work intuitively, i.e. be styled
like the rest of the document.
</tab->

<tab- text='Second'>
Note the lack of slot attributes on these tab elements. That's
because we want this to behave like normal HTML where you
can nest without having to worry about how tab-area was implemented.
Why should we have to care that tab-area was implemented with
templates/slots?
</tab->

<tab- text='Third'>
There could be any number of these tabs so you can't put them
into slots without some sort of late-generating the slots anyway.
</tab->
</tab-area>

We want this to render like a group of tabs where "First" and its body are visible, and tabs are peeking up from behind with the texts "Second" and "Third" but the content of those tabs isn't shown until you click the tab (at which point the content of "First" is hidden).

That's not achievable with slots.

In general, I haven't found a case where templates/slots are actually useful--it's a lot of work to create a bad interface.
> Now, I think a single-payer national health service would be better

This isn't the panacea it sounds like, single payer doesn't work that well in Canada. Having worked in both systems the quality of care and accessibility is far better in the US, assuming you have good insurance of course, but it's hard to get access to things in most of Canada until you're actively dying. Primary care is also challenging to access in most places not Toronto.

I've seen conflicting reports on the math of how this plays out while trying to maintain quality and options.

I fully realize I am saying this from a privileged position that an OOP max wouldn't be financially challenging but I would much rather get care in the US than Canada.

I'm not sure what the best system is. Perhaps a two tier system would work better and have a better safety net, although that's controversial as well. I do think single payer is overrated, of course the US might do it better (and obviously has more resources + economies of scale).

I mean, trump has a lot of black friends too. The "cis is now a slur" thing is true on Twitter now. Musk's one trans child hates him (though he sends like a pretty shit parent in general). He fairly regular raises anti trans views. I mean, I guess you could still assume the best and that he's just an idiot and doesn't understand what he's saying.
I think your example is perfect, because you use a train to get to work.

My example is a bunch of old people that don't use trains and have never used trains, legislating things about trains. "What, you can't take it directly to your destination? That sounds pointless, why don't we just rip up the tracks to add more lanes for cars?"

They don't understand technology and they aren't even users of the technology they're legislating about.

He banned the word "cisgender" as a slur. This makes it difficult to talk about trans topics, because how are you going to refer to non-trans people? "Normal"? It's an arbitrary decision meant to alienate these groups further.

> It seems to me senescent cells build up because we always have enough food

Sorry, I don't see the "logic" on this. I see the logic on the article though, which boils down to this: our bodies' only goal is species' permanence, and every investment in maintenance or otherwise must contribute to that.

If I were designing my own body, I would put any excess of energy into cellular maintenance. On the other hand, nature would want me to accumulate fat for when the winter comes and my hole next to the tree stump gets cold.

Here is something that I keep thinking: you can't compare a living organism to, say, an airplane, because an airplane has fixed structural parts which are impossible to replace, and those parts accumulate tear and wear. A living organism on the other hand can gradually replace each of its parts (molecules, cells, organs), provided it has/runs the program to do so. So, senescence and mortality are not fundamental laws of physics, but simply ways in which evolution has accommodated things.

If I recall correctly, there was or is a web component concept or inplementation that does not originate frome those frameworks and I think I read about it on MDN or so. It is only that frontend devs push their frameworks so much, that most people associate web components with React and similar frameworks.
> What prevents the existence of such an ecosystem? What are the main obstructions?

You're ignoring the elephant in the room, which is anti-trust is dead, and the tech companies running the show are too damn big. If you start a competitor to audible, it can use its leverage with both AWS and Amazon and squeeze you until you're dead, and then continue on with its monopoly.

Google teached me over the years that they can deprecate or remove support from one day to another, and I don't matter to them, neither as user, developer, or company owner.

So even if I love web components since it got released (and have used them in some toy apps) I can't count on them yet thanks to Google.

You can't trust anything coming from Google. There is no assurance that they announce tomorrow that they remove support for them in chrome. Or even worse, they will remove support in 6 month (killing all the developers market and destroying any production app). To announce in 3 years that they will continue the effort of removing them...

It's just sad.

In 2012, I interviewed at Google Ireland for an SRE position. I ended up not taking the job due to family issues, but I somewhat regretted having missed the opportunity to tackle Google-sized problems and make FAANG-sized money for a few years after.

This feeling has ceased entirely in the meantime, due to what Google has become, and how its understanding of its role in the world seems to have shifted. Or maybe its true corporate nature has only become more apparent? I am not sure - but I was a firm believer that Google was a force of good in the corporate landscape of the 00s, and I am fully convinced it is not any more. It actually makes me sad, and I am afraid of the damage it will end up doing to the places (the 'net) and communities (most of the FOSS world) I love.

Humanity is currently experiencing a reduced age of sexual maturity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menarche

"In the last two centuries, the average age at first period has been falling continuously in France. In 1750 it is estimated to have been close to 16; by 1850 it was down to 15, and by 1950 it had fallen to 13. In 1994, it stood at 12.6 years of age."

> but everyone is either a communist or a libertarian because those are so much simpler and people prefer simple, wrong, answers, to complex correct ones.

eh, no, the average communist and average libertarian, if given rational circumstance, would compromise with each other. Current authoritarian power structures stir up division and stonewall progress.

More people find the extremes attractive as the center of the overton window remains stagnant and mutually regressive.
Most chips have a TPM which holds a key. You can’t access the key without expensive and specialised equipment. The key is signed by the manufacturer’s key (google, in this case).

I thought of this, as it could also be the other way around.

It's time to start lobbying hard for an antitrust breakup of Google. This DRM plan, as abuse of a monopoly position, provides more political coverage for a forced breakup.

It's pretty clear how to break up Alphabet, because it grew mostly by acquisition.

- Google - search, ads on search pages and nothing more.

- DoubleClick - third party ads on other sites.

- Analytics - services to web sites.

- Cloud - the money-losing data center service. Probably gets sold to AWS or Hurricane Electric.

- Android - phones and similar devices

- Chrome - browsers

- YouTube - streaming content. Probably gets sold to Netflix or AT&T or Comcast.

- Waymo - self-driving cars. Probably gets sold to a car company.

- Alphabet - all the other stuff.

Now, some of these have conflicting interests. That's a good thing. With Chrome separated from Google and Doubleclick, and forced to fight for market share, it's not in Chrome's interest to prevent blocking ads from DoubleClick or Google. Google wants people to see ads on search pages, while Doubleclick wants people to leave the search site and see ads elsewhere. Now there's competition.

Antitrust action against Google is already underway. The State of Texas and several state attorneys general have a case pending.[1] There are other cases.[2] All these cases benefit from Google's move to entrench their monopoly by technical means.

So make lots of noise politically about that. It's quite likely to make Google dump this proposal, on the advice of their antitrust lawyers.

Or rather, there is a robber at every alley, because there is no law that prevents robbing, and no enforcement of the laws that exist. In that society, if you have a gun but aren't robbing people, you're giving up money. What are people without guns gotta do?

I've seen a comedy show about that. Husband buys flowers "just because" and the wife starts crying uncontrollably, convinced he's cheating on her. Because there is no way he's just nice.

The kicker is he literally just wanted to be nice to her. While the other men in the family were trying to convince him that it's a bad idea.
Your computing device is your agent, more than any doctor, priest, or lawyer-- you share greater intimacies with it, and you have far less ability to go about an ordinary life without access to one. Your computers mediate an increasing share of your interactions with other people, with the world at large. You need one to communicate, to obtain essential services. You take it into your home, into your bedroom. It should be required to act in your best interests and it certainly should not against your best interests.

This shouldn't be an unusual demand or even a demand at all-- it should be table stakes.

Even back when the concept of Free Software had just become an identifiable thing people advocated it in terms of respecting the user. But for a long time the disrespect was largely banal-- rent seeking, over priced, indifference to features or bugs that matter to you, rules that benefit the author but didn't care about the user's needs. The fact that software could actively and intentionally work against its users wasn't a surprise-- the freedom to inspect, modify, and share the results answers those risks too, at least in theory. But back then it wasn't a common problem. Somehow software and systems that actively betray their users became common, even normalized. And in large part it seems most people never noticed.
Ask HN: Has anyone else been free of cold/flu symptoms since early 2020?
The last time I was taken down by the flu -- no, not Covid -- was early January 2020. I have not had a sniffle, anything, since. I have no allergies.

What has changed that I don't get the "common cold" anymore?
Yep; tons of credit cards do usurious bait-and-switch stuff like that, under the express hope to make it up on people who have occasional "slippages" where they miss it by one pay period.

The "siren song" on those is the whole "if you're careful you can cancel" trick the users think they're pulling off. They may individually, but not in aggregate.

These cards are often much easier to get approved for.

Web components are treated like HTML elements. You can nest and combine them with semantic elements and attach attributes to them.

Say you have a component that does something with titles (h1 etc.), then you would wrap the semantic element with a web component.

You do the same with buttons, text or input fields etc.

This way you 100% retain the semantic structure (before loading JS). And it’s possible to progressively enhance the DOM if that is a goal.

Doctorow demonstrably knows more about this, and has thought about this, than me, but to me the answer seems somewhat straightforward:

> Should your computer be able to be compelled to tell the truth

In the context of the soldered chip that "can't be removed" that can report the "truth" of the kernel etc, the answer to me is a simple, "it's impossible to know if the computer is telling the truth or not." Go to defcon once and you'll know this as true as well. No matter what, there's always a way in. There's always a hack. The harder you make it to hack, the more motivated those crazy people at defcon will be to break it.

> Should there be a facility in your computer that you can’t control that other people can remotely trigger?

"Other people" will never be "just the people you want." It will always include criminals, stalkers, and authoritarian governments. So the answer is a simple, "no."
> Bayes factors work with comparing models.

So does the traditional Neyman–Pearson hypothesis testing.

> There is no null model.

Why can’t there be?

> What, 0% effect? Ok, there was a non-zero effect. That model loses since it put the probability of 0% at 1 and everything else at 0%.

Well, if your null hypothesis is deterministic and says 0% effect, getting anything other than 0% absolutely will make you reject the null hypothesis. But most of the time hypotheses are not deterministic. Usually you sample random variables.

> And if you do anything else, you’re encoding some amount of belief into the model, some judgment you’ve made.

Traditional hypothesis testing is a particular case of minimising risk, ie the expected value of your loss given possible models and your decision rule. You don’t assume any belief on the probability of a specific model to be true, thus I think it is incorrect to claim that you encode a belief. You don’t even claim that it can be measured.

Of course, that makes it impossible to quantify the risk over all possible models. Thus, you only deal with Type I and Type II errors, which values presumes that the null or alternative hypothesis is correct.

If you have a probability measure for models, you can simply average your risks over it and get what is known as Bayes risk. That would be encoding some belief.
Automotive airbag is a vehicle occupant-restraint system using a bag designed to inflate extremely quickly, then quickly deflate during a collision.
