This doesn't sound like a good idea if your goal is to prevent these two companies (or divisions of the company) for co-conspiring.
I don't really know much about how Brave is made, but you make it sound like they're using proprietary Google libraries, whereas I was under the impression that it was built from open-source software. If I'm right, the fact that this software originally came from Google is immaterial. If it's open source, Brave have full control over what it does and Google has zero.
When you fire most employees immediately after doing a "leveraged buyout" with strong odors of it being a hostile takeover as well, you don't get to complain things are hard.

Elon Musk bought twitter with some of his own money, yes, but also by giving twitter a massive loan which it now has to (and can't) repay.

This is entirely his doing, and if he thought it was too hard, why did he do this? I mean, I know, managers do this sort of stuff without giving it much thought at all while pretending to play 5D chess, and I suspect Musk is no different.
ChatGPT told me:

> Yes, Nazi propaganda did often refer to the Allies, particularly the UK and the US, using terms such as “Anglo-American” or “Anglo-Saxon” in a pejorative sense. This language reflected the Nazis’ racist ideology, in which they posited a hierarchy of races with Aryans at the top and viewed others, including Anglo-Saxons, as lesser or enemies. This also served to foster animosity and dehumanize the Allies among the German populace. However, such language was not universally used by all within the Nazi regime, and the terminology often varied depending on the context and specific propaganda objectives at the time.
It is a major unexplored / controversial avenue for tackling climate change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injectio...

It appears that it is within our economic means to inject aerosols (likely sulphur-based) into the atmosphere to cool it, mimicking the cooling occurring after major volcanic eruptions - and to do it at sufficient scale that we can "undo global warming". We could cool the Earth quite nicely.

The downsides are non-trivial however:

- Sulphides lead to acid rain which is destructive to the environment in its own ways

- This relies on continued aerosol injections; the sulphides subside rather quickly. So if we stop doing it, the Earth will return on its warming trajectory

- We will end up injecting a lot of foreign material into the atmosphere. It will eventually land somewhere and do something - and it's unclear what exactly.

- This doesn't eliminate other issues with climate change, such as ocean acidification

- It is hard to predict what other consequences this will lead to. One fear is that it might strangle food production, by lowering solar irradiation. Plus, the Earth will be cooler, but what climate precisely will this lead to is unknown.

Personally I suspect we will end up doing it anyway, simply because we can, and because we're not so good at CO2 reductions. We umm and arr about it, but then a very hot and dry summer will come and we'll just do it - for better or worse.
That's exactly what Cory Doctorow is doing (no idea about Sanderson). Not just directly, but on every platform that's not Audible.

That doesn't make the complaint less relevant, though. The complaint is the explanation for why they're doing so.

Ask HN: Why both distributed tracing and logging (for backend services)?
I know most observability companies (Datadog, New Relic, Elastic, grafana, ...) will want us to believe that we need *both*. But why?

Isn't tracing a superset of logs? Instead of logging won't it be better to add some attributes to traces?

I used ddog apm, and GCP stackdriver too. But I believe if I got the query capabilities of stackdriver in ddog, I would have saved few $k's in monthly infra expense.

It's even worse: you can not access Mail's settings until you have configured an email account in Mail. Before that the settings options is greyed out.

That's also because these systems are large, complicated, and slow moving. Not only that, but the users are resistant to change; the older you get, the faster time moves, and a decade between one system (SMS) and the next (e.g. a two factor auth app) feels short and unnecessary.
You opinion goes against modern science: psychology, pedagogy and sociology agree that positive feedback is much more effective than negative and it's healthier in the long run.
I fail to understand why the inlined pieces of code can't be compiled into intermediary lines. Seems like the intermediary language is where this sort of compiler jungle should be solved.
yeah, basically parents.

I kind of think it would, provided other ultimatums such as getting a job or going to school have failed.

Assuming they aren't disabled, it forces them to decide if they would rather get a job or be homeless.

of course covering the fist months rent would be nice.

This sounds like a bad pattern (I posted about this above).

“Mark as internal” seems like a really crude fudge when the real problem is you can’t give access to single directories rather than a whole drive. Also a “don’t remind me again” option on the external drive pop-up.
What makes good partners in a relationship
This is a fair criticism (although the generally accepted story is precisely that 'bombing people to smithereens' with atomic weapons led to surrender), but the evidence they based that opinion on is generally available. Having looked at it myself, I wouldn't have said everything they did with quite the same level of confidence, but I agree with their broad strokes opinion that it was most likely possible to achieve a Japanese surrender in a reasonable time-frame without dropping the atomic bombs or invading.

My sense of it is that there was a strong feeling of the need to punish the Japanese, quite apart from any military necessity. I think that, combined with the need to demonstrate the power of the new weapons lead to a reluctance to seriously engage with the Japanese diplomatically. I take as evidence of that the fact that a key sticking point in the surrender decision was the status of the Emperor, who ultimately wasn't removed by the US anyway. The allies could have made their terms much clearer much earlier, and they could have engaged with the Japanese attempts to seek peace much more. And of course there was the ongoing worry that the Soviet Union might gain too much if things weren't sorted out quickly.

From Truman's diaries at the time:

> Discussed Manhattan (it is a success). Decided to tell Stalin about it. Stalin had told P.M. of telegram from Jap emperor asking for peace. Stalin also read his answer to me. It was satisfactory. Believe Japs will fold up before Russia comes in. I am sure they will when Manhattan appears over their homeland. I shall inform Stalin about it at an opportune time.
Yeah. I guess most of the Chinese propagandists received training imported from Russia.

We all let it come this far, because of how we treat the services Google provides: As nice free and helpful tools. Talking about "Chrome this and that" all the time we forget what that really means, namely:

Using the strategic tools of the largest Advertising Agency in the world, that allows them to ever grow their dominance. Chrome, GMail and all that jazz all fit into a global-scale ad-tech framework to push shady ads and slurp in your PII for shady business. Google uses monopolies and oligopolies to force itself into your life. In other words..

Google is SHADY BUSINESS. And that should be the framing to spread about. Always repeating that Google is an advertising giant. Not some trustworthy biz. Zero integrity. So how can Chrome relate to integrity then?

Is your Bank using Google's integrity foo? Give them a support call. Act like a noob and keep them busy for as long as possible with "It isn't working". Until they explain about Integrity + Chrome. Then comes the angry phase: "WHAT? Are you in bed with a SHADY advertising agency?? I thought you were a trustworthy bank."
Aldus?
Right. From my own experience, growing crystals is close to alchemy. Of course we know exactly how to do it, yet, it takes a lot of skill to grow a lot of substances. There are a lot of detaills to the process which are difficult to capture in documentation, even if the best faith attempts are made.
Add to that any variation in the machinery used. As a consequence, it is quite common in crytallography that there is a single source for certain crytals. At least in an initial phase. If a substance becomes reasonably popular, eventually more people manage to produce quality crystals.

So I would expect eventually good samples to turn up elsewhere as many groups are working on this, but it can take a lot of time. Especially as no one knows what exactly was different about the Korean samples.

While I agree, that conclusion is wrong because you forgot to look at the win-win and loss-loss cases. Even with two coin tosses, as in your example, you'll win on average:

1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25

0.6 * 1.5 = 0.9

1.5 * 0.6 = 0.9

0.6 * 0.6 = 0.36

=> 1.1025x total

It's counter-intuitive because even though you almost always lose, you still win (linear) wealth on average (but not median). The difference is that if you have unlimited tosses available, you don't care about maximizing EV after X tosses. Instead you care about minimizing your risk of losing it all.
How is such a system cheaper than a big breakable but solid STOP sign on an arm, like those american school buses.
> Firefox simply got outcompeted by Chrome as Google went crazy making it faster and faster.

I disagree - if that was the case then people would be switching back to Firefox now. Firefox got outcompeted by chrome by Google adding a "works better in chrome" button to their home pages.
Agreed. Looking at the timeline on the Wikipedia page, a new 100K ambient pressure SC material is nothing to scoff at.

It means LK99 is about as good as the other materials, at minimum. However, its chemical composition is different than any of the other materials on the chart (i.e. it is lead based). That probably means there's lots to learn and new phenomena to be understood and optimized.

Furthermore, if this lab could achieve these results in a matter of weeks, perhaps labs with more exotic equipment and dedication will be able to get better results, raising the bar even higher.
Google always stood for selling adds, there are no surprises in them wanting to cash in on their monopolies.

I read the whole thing and found nothing remotely pro-Russian. Care to elaborate?
That's not how that works. Take some uncensored or "unaligned" models hallucinating racist things based on a name:

The default name for a person is John Doe. Anglo Saxon names in general are extremely common across the internet for non-nefarious reasons. So the tokens that make up "John" have a ton of associations in a wide variety of contexts and if the model hallucinates there's no particularly negative direction you'd expect it to go.

But Mohammed doesn't show up as often in the internet, and while it's also for non-nefarious reasons, it results in there being significantly fewer associations in the training data. What would be background noise for in the training data for John ends up being massively distorted by the smaller sample size: even tendencies for people to make racist jokes about the name.

-

People have this weird idea that OpenAI and co are aligning these models according to some hidden agenda but the reality is minorities are a minority of the training data for very obvious reasons. So if you don't "censor" them, you're not making them more truthful, you're leaving them dumber for a lot of tasks.

There's censorship beyond that which feels very CYA happening, but I really hope people aren't clamoring to sticking models that aren't intelligent enough to realize the tokens for John vs Mohammed should not affect a summarization task into anything even tangentially important...
> Limit the amount Twilio can charge us

This is unfortunately easier said than done. You'd expect Twilio to let you set a max spending limit in your account settings. Instead this is what they tell you to do: https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223132387-Prote... (notice the PHP snippet too)

Essentially, setting up a webhook to receive alerts from Twilio, and then calling a Twilio API to suspend the account. Your webhook better be up and running flawlessly if you don't want to go bankrupt. Why can't they do it themselves?
Capitalisation of Almost Every Word Makes Me Sound Very Important.
It's a bit target dependent but say for a particular hardware and a shader use case, having a larger shader could mean that it couldn't have as many copies to quickly change context due to an event like a texture read. Context memory is a fixed resource and sometimes smaller shaders means you can fit more.

So as the other answer states, profiling. It's also good to have an accurate mental model of the real hardware. Of course this is made difficult unless you are doing specific console development.

And it's also usually not as useful to do synthetic profiling but profile in actual use.
Thanks, it turns out to really matter how big the population is, otherwise you aren't likely to have enough lucky members to bring the mean up.
Thanks for sharing, Chris!

Canada ISED Wireless Device Registration Fee Adjustment

Link：https://lnkd.in/gmfPbW3d

On July 4, 2023, the Canadian Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) notified that the ISED wireless device listing fee of $50/listing will be abolished and will be officially implemented on September 1, 2023. Add the following two new fees:

1.New wireless CB certification (for new single model or new family of models):Equipment registration flat fee of $750 independent of the number of wireless models

2.Administrative or Technical wireless CB recertification (adding model(s) without test report (C1PC), multiple listing, transfer of TAC, hardware and/or firmware modification, and module integration in host (C2PC/C3PC/C4PC with test report)):Equipment registration amendment flat fee of $375 (for the wireless CB recertification), independent of the number of wireless models

Customers are advised to complete the ISED/IC ID certification on August 15th to avoid additional certification fees

Reviving Radio: An Old Technology Remains Relevant
Nit: Google Cloud has been profitable this year: https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/25/google-cloud-turns-profit-...

It's actually perfectly fine to lose money; you have to invest before you can start making a profit, and services like Google Cloud can be money printers once they're established.

But all the cloud providers are competing hard, pumping money into 3rd parties / partners that will then sell it and set it up at companies. I was at one company (a famous flower exchange in the Netherlands) that was in the process of moving all their workloads - hundreds of services, from people's office suites to high volume exchanges - to AWS, and I'm confident that the one guy, the new manager of the IT department, has Connections with Amazon to help sell AWS to companies like this. Because once they're in, it'll cost millions and years to move out again; I don't think many companies will do a sideways step often and move from e.g. AWS to GCP.
"Microsoft could fund chromium based on their use in Edge. Etc…"

Microsoft surely will continue to develope edge.
That is my main issue with this thing, because they surely would like to be the one with the dominating browser again and if google has to drop chromium, Microsoft will just overtake it.

Antitrust and breakup is not a simple thing to do right.
More extreme climate events have happened before a single co2 was emitted by human machines.

You could move goal posts again and claim that we shouldn't expect completely unprecedented extreme events from climate change, just that somewhat extreme events are supposedly becoming more common than before. Even if that was true it doesn't matter because it's not convincing and undeniable.
Hard disagree. The Babylon Bee is wildly unfunny, incapable of even the most basic principles of humor most of the time. Half of it is the same few jokes repeated over and over again.
The elephant in the room is the increase of interest rates. The free lunch of cheap money is over. Now corps have to make money by squeezing every rock for the last bit of water.

My advice to everyone is to watch out, and be carefull. Look over the license changes over the incoming days to see how you might potentially be squeezed.
You're assuming the operators are trying to stop the abuse in the first place. They aren't - they're making money from it. Hell, they even offer discounts to some abusers.
You're inventing a scenario that doesn't exist. You would simply change it from Thunderbird's settings (General->System Integration.)

A similar function exists in all apps that can take possession of default behaviours.

The reason these defaults are per-app is because this approach pre-dates the concept of putting all default behaviours into a unified panel in the system settings: something which would invariably lead to an incomplete list of available applications.
> Shame is social stigma, and sure you can be fearful of it, but it's not the same thing:

Fear (of shame itself, and/or of the concrete social consequences for yourself or others of shame that you might be subject to) is the entirety of the mechanism bt which shame acts as an influence on behavior.

> being in the closet is/was mostly about fear for yourself of hard repercussions - disownment by parents (if young), getting physically attacked, that kind of thing.

Yes, that's how shame as a social constraint works. There has never been a society in which shame worked as a social constraint without there existing hard social consequences, from ostracism (including exclusion from the material support mechanisms available to others in society) to outright honor killings, for having shame attach to you.

Not sure why people in this thread are romanticizing societies that center shame more than the modern West.

Again - that seems like a useless warning.

3rd party could mean a DBA, IT consultant, AWS support tech, CDN support tech, MSSP employee, cloud platform, etc. those all come with different levels of risk, different contract terms, etc.

I’m trying to say that just saying the TLS connection is terminated by a vendor, who then creates another to the origin server doesn’t tell you anything valuable from a security / risk standpoint. The CDN-fronted connection that shows the warning may be highly secure while a self-managed reverse proxy that terminates the TLS connection to another serve owned+managed by the same person/org might be completely insecure. The warning is not a useful signal.
Would you have any precedent for that? I think in most of the world, that would hold in court.

That’s not “price dumping”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)

If you don’t charge a normal price for something anywhere, then it’s just a loss leader (costco hot dogs).
